All Chapters of Marrying My Ex’s Billionaire Uncle.: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The silver cufflink felt heavier than it should.Amelia couldn’t take her eyes off it.Ryan’s initials were engraved on the surface.R.S.There was no mistake.It belonged to him.The security guard looked between Amelia and Ethan.“Do you recognize it?”Ethan never answered.His expression remained terrifyingly calm.Which somehow frightened Amelia more than anger would have.“Leave us,” Ethan ordered.The guard nodded immediately.Within seconds, everyone disappeared.The grand entrance hall became silent again.Only Amelia and Ethan remained.Along with the evidence.And the growing realization that this situation was far worse than they thought.“Ryan wouldn’t…”Amelia stopped.Because she wasn’t sure anymore.A week ago, she would have defended him without hesitation.Now?Now she barely knew who he was.Ethan picked up the cufflink.His eyes narrowed.“This isn’t enough.”Amelia frowned.“What?”“It proves he was here.”His voice was cold.“Not that he sent the intruder.”That w

Nobody spoke.Nobody moved.Amelia stood frozen in the doorway, staring at the message painted across her mirror.YOU SHOULD HAVE MARRIED RYAN.The red paint dripped slowly onto the floor.Like blood.A shiver crawled down her spine.For the first time since all of this began, she felt genuine fear.Not heartbreak.Not anger.Fear.Someone had entered her room.Someone had stood where she slept.Someone had taken the time to write that message.And then disappeared.“Everyone out.”Ethan’s cold voice cut through the silence.The guards immediately obeyed.Within seconds, only Ethan and Amelia remained inside the bedroom.He carefully examined the room.Every corner.Every window.Every possible entrance.Amelia hugged herself.Trying to stop shaking.Unfortunately, it wasn’t working.Ethan noticed.Without a word, he removed his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders.The gesture was so unexpected that she forgot to protest.The warmth of the fabric wrapped around her.Comfortin

Amelia couldn’t breathe.The words echoed through her mind.Tell Amelia the truth about her father.Her father.The man who had died when she was twelve.The man she barely remembered.The man her mother never spoke about.Slowly, she turned toward Claire.“Read it again.”Claire swallowed.Then repeated the note word for word.Amelia felt her stomach twist.This had to be a mistake.It had to be.“What does my father have to do with any of this?”Nobody answered.Not Claire.Not Ethan.Because nobody knew.At least, that’s what Amelia wanted to believe.Then she noticed something.Ethan had gone completely still.Too still.A cold feeling crept into her chest.“You know something.”His eyes met hers.For the first time, he looked uncomfortable.That alone was enough to terrify her.“Ethan.”His jaw tightened.“I know your father’s name.”The room fell silent.“My father was Daniel Carter.”Ethan nodded slowly.“I know.”Amelia frowned.“Why?”No answer.A dangerous silence filled the

Amelia couldn’t stop staring at the photograph.It had been taken that morning.The angle was perfect.Too perfect.Whoever took it had been close.Very close.A chill crawled down her spine.“They’ve been watching me.”Ethan took the phone back.His expression was unreadable.But Amelia noticed the tension in his jaw.The anger in his eyes.“They’ve been watching all of us.”The correction didn’t make her feel better.Not even a little.Margaret sat quietly beside them.Her hands clasped tightly together.As though she were holding herself together through sheer willpower.The SUV continued speeding through the rain.Nobody knew where they were going.Only Ethan.And judging by his expression, he wasn’t taking any chances.“Tell me everything.”Amelia’s voice broke the silence.Margaret closed her eyes.“Amelia…”“No.”Tears stung her eyes.“No more secrets.”Her mother looked devastated.But she nodded.Because she knew her daughter deserved answers.At last.Twenty years too late.

The rain fell harder.Cold drops soaked Amelia’s clothes.But she barely noticed.Her mind was still stuck on Victor’s words.The key that can destroy The Circle.And somehow…They believed she had it.“You’re wrong.”Her voice sounded weak.Even to herself.“I don’t know anything about a key.”Victor studied her face carefully.As if searching for a lie.Then he smiled.“I believe you.”Amelia blinked.That wasn’t the response she expected.“But that doesn’t change reality.”His gaze sharpened.“Daniel Carter hid it before he died.”Ethan stepped forward.“And after twenty years, you’ve still failed to find it.”Victor’s smile disappeared.For the first time, annoyance crossed his face.A small victory.But a victory nonetheless.“Your father was always clever.”Victor looked at Amelia again.“Too clever.”The way he said it made her stomach twist.Almost like a compliment.Almost like a threat.Maybe both.Suddenly, one of Victor’s men approached.“Sir.”The man handed over a phone.
