All Chapters of Ex-Husband, You Cheated. Now, Watch Me Love Your Uncle: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

~Eliza~The past two weeks have been… blissful.I could barely keep my grin off my lips as I slowly buttoned my clothes. And why should I even bother?For the first time in as long as I could remember, my life finally seemed to be on a good track. I was happy, I had the shares, and then the most amazing man as my husband.What more could possibly make me unhappy?Nothing, I decided, raising my chin slightly as I stared at my reflection in the mirror.The one thing left was to take back my company from Daniel and that was exactly what I intended to do today.My smile firmed into a grim resolve as I stared at myself. My chin was hard and unyielding while the look in my eyes was fiercely determined.No matter what happened today, Daniel was getting out of my rightful position. The same one that I had foolishly given away without a second thought.But that was in the past. Going forward, things were going to change for good.My phone buzzed with a special tone for text notifications that q

~Atlas~“We have to go over everything all over again,” Adam said gruffly and let out a heavy sigh.I nodded absentmindedly, my gaze still fixed on the other two people in the room, particularly Rachael.The moment Nickie had revealed that information, I noticed Rachael’s slight flinch from the corner of my eye. She had looked calm otherwise, aside from the telltale sign she let slip.Cole, on the other hand, just looked as surprised as the rest of us, as if he had had no idea about that little detail.I struck out his name from the three-person list I had in my head. He had told us everything he knew and involving him further would only put him at greater risk.Until this whole situation is resolved, he should return to the safehouse and take care of his younger sister.“Sir, we should—”I put up a hand to stop Adam from speaking. Then I turned to look at Cole. “Why don’t you go home now?”The words came out a little harsher than I intended, so I continued in a gentle tone. “I mean, w

~Atlas~It has been forty-eight hours.But my heart still hadn’t stopped its furious thrashing in my chest because I could still see the traumatizing image in my mind’s eye.I must have broken all the available traffic regulations ever made in my haste to get home two days ago. All I could think about was stopping Daniel from carrying out whatever plan he had cooked up.For him to have kicked the door open so violently, he definitely hadn’t gone to merely greet Eliza.I prayed as I had never done before that I wouldn’t be too late. But I almost did. I almost lost Eliza.After dashing out of the car, I raced through the open doorway. My heart nearly stopped as my eyes swept over what was happening in a single glance.Eliza was prone on the ground with Daniel astride her, muttering something in a guttural tone. She was letting out choked, rattled gasps while he seemed to be slamming her head onto the floor.Her arms were stretched out beside her in a limp way that made breathing suddenly

~Atlas~I nearly busted my teeth from how hard I was grinding down on them.Earlier, while I was in Eliza’s room, Adam had called. I immediately knew it couldn’t be for a good reason, because recently the burly man kept giving me unwanted news.And of course, I was right.I set my jaw and scowled at the shivering woman sitting on the chair before me. This issue was proving to be more of a headache than I thought and I was sick of it.Hearing Adam tell me that Rachael had tried to sneak into the office and steal some documents had sent a spike of pain straight to my head.It had taken all my calm to force myself not to show any reaction while I was with Eliza. Also, like I had promised Luca, I would keep her safe, far away from the mess going on at work.That didn’t mean I had to enjoy it, though, especially when it took me away from Eliza’s side.For the first time since I yanked off her blindfold, Rachael raised her head to peer at me. My scowl deepened and she let out a whimper, drop

~Eliza~Slowly, I sat back down, keeping my face carefully wiped of any emotion.Isabella and her crone of a mother were vicious sharks. The moment they sensed any weakness, they would attack.I cocked my head, watching as she stormed forward to slam her palms on my desk.“I asked you a question, you two-face witch!” she snarled, her face twisted into a hateful mask.“I’m so sorry, ma’am. I tried to stop her, but she wouldn’t—”I waved off Viola’s stammered apology. “It’s alright. You may leave.”The door closed behind her, leaving me alone with Isabella’s fury. Her chest heaved with the angry breaths that stretched her skin-tight, pink blouse. If she leaned forward any further, her breasts would probably spill out everywhere.I winced at the sight and forced my gaze back up to her face. “To what do I owe this displeasure, Isabella?” I asked mildly.She let out a choked splutter. “What?!”“I said, to what—”“How dare you?” she snarled furiously, clenching her hands into tight fists on
