All Chapters of Married My Ex's Billionaire Uncle Accidentally : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Adrian Pov The pool lights reflected across the dark water, making everything around us glow under the night sky. Tessa leaned against the edge of the pool, her wet hair falling over her shoulders as she swam back toward me, a teasing smile playing on her lips. The moment she got closer, she rested her arms on the edge of the pool and reached for my drink. “Hey, babe,” she said, taking it from my hand. I gave her an amused look. “You’re getting too comfortable.” She took a sip and smiled. “Maybe I am,” she said, placing the drink on the floor. I shook my head, but the corner of my lips lifted. She leaned closer, wrapped her arms around my neck, and kissed me. I lifted her effortlessly as her legs wrapped around my waist. I crushed my lips on hers, then trailed it down her neck. When I heard approaching footsteps, I quickly lifted Tessa and carried her to the edge of the pool. I carefully set her down on the pool deck before turning toward the sound. A maid appeared a

Ariana Pov The Cole family heirloom on my finger caught my attention. I slowly turned the ring, watching the diamond catch the light. My fingers continued to fidget with it. A strange feeling settled in my chest. Why did I suddenly feel so nervous about meeting Damian’s family? I was still staring at the ring when a knock sounded on the door. “Come in,” I said. The maid stepped inside. “Mrs. Cole, Mr. Cole asked me to inform you that he’s already waiting for you.” “I’ll be down shortly.” She turned to leave, but another maid appeared carrying a large, beautifully decorated cake. “Mrs. Cole, the delivery man brought this for you a few minutes ago.” My face brightened. “Oh, thank you.” I carefully took the cake from her. With my purse over my shoulder and the cake held securely in my hands, I made my way downstairs. When I stepped outside, Damian was already standing beside the car, one hand tucked into his pocket, his expression impatient. His eyes settled on me. “What took you

Ariana Pov I quickly looked away, pretending I hadn’t noticed him. Then I lowered my head, hoping he wouldn’t see me. My mind returned to what had happened earlier, but before I could think about it for too long, I heard a familiar voice. “Uncle Damian.” I raised my head, wondering who had suddenly come to see Damian at the hospital this late. My eyes widened when I saw who was standing in front of him. Adrian. He extended his hand toward Damian. “It’s nice to see you, Uncle Damian. I heard what happened with Grandpa. Is everything okay?” Damian shook his hand and gave him a reassuring smile. “Oh, it’s fine, nephew. Nothing to worry about.” My gaze darted between them as realization slowly sank in. Why was Adrian calling Damian his uncle? Adrian had never told me he was part of the Cole family. He had never mentioned that his family was one of the richest and most powerful families in the city. And now I was standing there, staring at Damian…the man I had agreed to become a contrac

Adrian POV “What? She’s Grandpa’s granddaughter-in-law?” I muttered, staring between Ariana and Uncle Damian. I tried to tell myself that Grandpa had misunderstood something. There had to be an explanation. Maybe Damian had brought her here for some other reason. But then I remembered what Uncle Damian had said earlier in the hallway. She’s my wife. The words echoed in my head, and suddenly everything fell into place. So he hadn't been protecting her for some other reason. Ariana was actually his wife. But how? How did Ariana even know my uncle? They had never been introduced to the family. I had never seen her at a single family event, yet here she was, standing beside him as though she had always belonged there. My jaw tightened. I had always believed Uncle Damian wasn't married. So when did this happen? How had Ariana suddenly become his wife without anyone knowing? There had been no wedding announcement, no celebration, nothing in the news. A marriage like this coul
