All Chapters of Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally : Chapter 91 - Chapter 100

Ariana Pov I couldn't understand why he was so determined to investigate the delay when I'd already found a solution. Before I could dwell on it any further, a voice interrupted my thoughts. “Miss Ariana?” I blinked and turned toward the voice, realizing that one of the panel members was addressing me. “Could you explain how you adapted the original design to accommodate the replacement gemstones?” I nodded and refocused on the screen, grateful for the opportunity to return to the work I had come prepared to present. I enlarged the necklace on the screen. “I considered the color, size, and appearance of the replacement stones to ensure they complemented the original concept. For this piece, I also modified the surrounding metalwork and repositioned the smaller gemstones to maintain balance.” One of the panel members leaned closer to the screen. “That's impressive,” she remarked. “You haven't simply substituted one gemstone for another. You've reworked the design to ma

Tessa Pov I slammed the office door behind me and flung my handbag onto the sofa. Snatching a file from my desk, I hurled it aside, sending papers scattering across the floor.“Damn it!”Adrian, who had been sitting in the chair near my desk, immediately looked up from his phone.“What happened?” he asked, setting it aside. “How is that even possible? I thought you said the materials wouldn't arrive in time.”I spun toward him, my hands curling into fists.“That's exactly what I don't understand! I made sure Ariana's materials were delayed, expecting her to show up unprepared and embarrass herself in front of everyone. But she still managed to present her signature collection and impress the entire department!”Adrian rose from his chair. “If the materials weren't available, how did she finish the collection?”“I don't know! She explained that the gemstones wouldn't arrive until Thursday evening, even though her presentation was scheduled for Thursday morning. Damian immediately ques

Ariana Pov My alarm shrilled, and sunlight stretched through the curtains. I groaned and pulled the blanket over my head. The alarm kept beeping until I reached for my phone on the small table beside the couch and jabbed the screen until the noise stopped. I lowered my arm and turned my gaze towards the bed. It was empty. Damian was already gone. As I sat up, I remembered the brief moment from last night when my lips had brushed against Damian's. I frowned and pushed the thought aside. It had been an accident, and I had no reason to keep thinking about it. I pushed the blanket aside and sat up, stretching my arms above my head. A sharp ache shot through my lower back. "Ouch." I winced and pressed my hand against my lower back. I picked up my phone and checked the time. "Gosh!" My eyes widened. It was already 7:30 a.m. How had I slept this late? Hurrying towards the bathroom, I grabbed my towel from the hook and rushed inside. I turned on the shower and stepped beneath the wa

Ariana Pov Exhaustion weighed on my shoulders as I made my way upstairs. I'd just finished dinner, and all I wanted was to wash up and get some much-needed sleep. Lately, Damian had barely been coming downstairs for dinner, and I couldn't help finding it strange. In the months I'd lived with him, I'd noticed that he was particular about his routine, especially his meals. He wasn't the sort of man who simply forgot to eat, so his sudden absence from the dinner table had caught my attention. I wondered what must have really As I approached the upper floor, I noticed light spilling from Vanessa's room. Damian stood beside her bed, arranging the blanket as she settled against her pillow. A small tray of fruits rested on the bedside table. "You should get some rest," he said softly. "You didn't come down for breakfast this morning, and you're still recovering from your injuries. You need to eat properly." He picked up the tray and placed it closer to her. "I brought you some fr

Damian PovThe procurement records Ava had collected from the HR department lay spread across my desk.I flipped through the documents, scanning the delivery schedule, the approval form, and the correspondence attached to the file. My eyes moved across the page, but my thoughts kept drifting back to the previous night.I could still see Ariana standing beside my bed after I had woken up from that nightmare. I remembered calling out for my father, the word leaving my mouth before I knew I had spoken, and I remembered how my fingers had closed around her wrist before I even knew where I was."You're hurting me."Her voice came back to me, thin and startled. I saw the way her eyes had widened, the alarm and the pain in them as she tried to pull free.I flattened my palm against the file and held it there. I hadn't meant to hurt her. I hadn't been awake enough to mean anything. That changed nothing about the red marks I had seen on her skin this morning. The thought of her watching me com
