All Chapters of Pleasured by my Ex-Husband’s Uncle: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

MELANIE~•~The dining area wasn’t somewhere in the many restaurants the resort had. A table was placed outside with six chairs surrounding it, overlooking the water. Strings of warm lights were hung around the terrace, illuminating the table.When I arrived, my eyes travelled across the table, checking for who was present and who wasn’t. Christian wasn’t present.I ignored the pang of disappointment that shot through me.“Melanie!” Donna waved me over to the seat beside her. She was already one drink in, judging by the flush on her cheeks, and the table was already filled with several delicacies. Some had even started eating. “I saved you a spot.”I slid into the chair, forcing a smile. “Thank you.” It had nothing to do with them but I wasn’t really in the mood for a team dinner at the moment, especially with the recurring picture of Patrick, Vivian, and Seth in my head.They did make a cute family. They could cosplay a family all they wanted. All I wanted was for them to leave me ou

CHRISTIAN~•~Did I hear her properly? She made him sign divorce papers? From what I knew, they were still married. “What does that mean?” I demanded. Melanie only laughed, drawing her legs towards herself. I didn’t know what stage of intoxication this was but she was clearly going through different stages. “I made him sign the papers,” she repeated nonchalantly. Then she placed a finger on her lips. “Shhh, don’t tell anyone. He doesn’t know.”I couldn’t be any more confused. “He doesn’t know you gave him divorce papers?” She nodded, her head lolling from side to side. “He thought it was work handover documents when I quit my job at his company.” She then shook her head. “He can be pretty stupid at times.”Drunk Melanie was definitely talkative and this was new information for me. What Louis had dug up didn’t include anything like divorce. Then again, she probably hadn’t told anyone, including the person she was divorcing.I stared at her, wondering what Patrick must have done or h

CHRISTIAN~•~I stared at her hotel door long after she practically ran inside her room.Should I not have mentioned the divorce? Should I have kept it to myself? Was that the reason she ran away so quickly? Or did she just not trust me when I said I wouldn’t tell anyone?It didn’t matter if he was my nephew. The way he treated his wife was horrible and however she chose to react was up to her. I wouldn’t interfere and I definitely wouldn’t feed her to the wolves.I shook my head to myself and went back inside the room. I couldn’t sleep last night. I’d told myself I couldn’t leave her alone in the room in the case of her throwing up or something. That was why I decided to sleep on the couch, but sleep totally evaded me. I lay awake, staring at her form on the bed all night. Which was why the moment the clock struck five in the morning, I got up, changed into comfortable clothes, and decided to use the gym downstairs, hoping that she’d be gone by the time I was back.She wasn’t.I’d b

MELANIE~•~Celina, who wasn’t exactly sure what I was signing a contract with Sin Apex for, referred me to her lawyer who took a Quick Look at the contract.There were no loopholes or hidden terms so I spent the rest of the night wondering whether or not to sign it.The contract sat on the nightstand, taunting me whenever I rolled over and caught sight of it. Despite the lawyer's reassurance that there was nothing wrong, I’d also read through it twice. I was subconsciously looking for something wrong about the contract so I could have a good reason to back out but there was none. Christian was an honest man after all.By midnight, I’d made a list of pros and cons on the hotel notepad like I was back in high school deciding between college majors. An hour later, I’d crossed out most of the cons because they were all excuses. The fact that he had seen me drunk wasn’t an excuse to not work with him and neither was the fact that he had seen me cry or seen me announce myself a widow.Whe

MELANIE~•~“Okay, spill.” I couldn’t remember ever having Celina around. She hated Patrick so she hated visiting his place but she was too hungry for gossip to wait until I visited her which was why she was currently plopped on the bed inside the guestroom.“Spill what?” I asked.“You went for a trip and asked me for a lawyer? What did you need him for?”“To go through a contract for me.”“What contract?” She practically demanded.I shrugged nonchalantly, letting her know it wasn’t a big deal. “Christian wanted me for another project.”Celina’s eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. “Christian? You two are on a first-name basis now?”“Uh…” My cheeks tinged pink. “No?”“You just called him Christian!”“That’s his name. It’s not like I call him that to his face.”Her eyebrows furrowed. “What? So what do you— nevermind.” She cut herself off, shaking her head when she realized she had gone off topic. “Another project. Does he like you that much?”My eyes widened this time. “What?”“Y
