บททั้งหมดของ My ex uncle Is my Destiny : บทที่ 1 - บทที่ 10

They say first love is something you never forget.For a long time, I believed that my first love story would become the most beautiful memory of my life. I imagined telling my children one day how their father and I had met, how we had overcome every obstacle before finally building a family together.I never imagined that it would all end in so much pain.My name is Marie Rose.I was twenty-two years old, and as far as I was concerned, my life was almost perfect. I had a job I loved, parents who had always supported me, a best friend I trusted blindly… and, above all, Julien Terry.For three years, he had occupied every corner of my thoughts.I loved him with all my heart.I had stood by his side through the hardest moments. I had put up with his absences, the promises he so often failed to keep, and the distance he sometimes showed for no reason. Whenever my family and friends tried to make me see the truth, I always answered with the same smile:— You don't know him the way I do.

The taxi stopped in front of my apartment building.I remained still for a few seconds, clutching my bag tightly against my chest. Through the window, the city lights continued to shine, but my eyes passed over them without really seeing anything.The driver turned toward me.“Miss… we’re here.”I flinched slightly, as though I had just awakened from a long nightmare.“Thank you…”I paid the fare and stepped out of the taxi.The cool night air brushed against my face, but it did nothing to ease the pain crushing my chest.I opened the door to my apartment.The moment I stepped inside, I let my bag fall in the entryway.My legs could no longer support me.I slowly slid down the wall until I was sitting on the floor.And that was when I finally broke down.The sobs I had held back all night finally burst free.I cried without holding anything back.I cried for the three years of love I had just lost.I cried for the man I had given my heart to.And I cried for the woman I had considered

A heavy silence settled over the office.Julien stared at me as if I were the last person he had expected to find there. His brows were furrowed, and confusion was clearly written across his face.“Marie Rose… what are you doing here?”I took a deep breath, trying to remain calm.This was neither the time nor the place to lose control.“I’m here for a job interview.”A humorless laugh escaped him.“An interview? At Terry Group?”I looked him straight in the eyes.“Yes.”He shook his head, a mocking smile appearing on his lips.“Don’t tell me you’re following me now.”His words pierced my heart, but I refused to let him see that he could still hurt me.I straightened my shoulders.“You’re imagining things. I didn’t even know you worked here.”Before Julien could respond, Clark calmly placed his pen on the desk.The faint sound of metal against wood was enough to draw our attention.“Julien.”His voice was calm but firm.Julien immediately turned toward him.“Yes, Uncle Clark?”Clark st

I spent the rest of the day with Olivia, completing all the formalities related to my employment.Patiently, she showed me around the different departments of the company, introduced me to several employees, and explained how Terry Group operated. The more she talked, the more I realized that this company was unlike any place I had ever worked before.Everything here was perfectly organized.No one wasted time.Every minute seemed to matter.Before letting me leave, Olivia opened a drawer and took out a badge, which she handed to me with a smile.“Always keep this with you. Without it, you won’t be able to access the private floors.”I took it carefully.“Thank you.”She smiled, amused.“Oh, and I almost forgot the most important piece of advice.”I looked up at her.“Mr. Terry hates being late.”A small laugh escaped me.“That’s a good thing. So do I.”Olivia laughed as well.“Then you should get along just fine.”I smiled politely.But deep down, I wasn't so sure.Ever since my inte

I walked calmly across the parking lot.Fatigue weighed heavily on every step, but a faint smile remained on my lips.My first day had been long.Exhausting, even.And yet, it had done me a world of good.I had found a job.For the first time in a long while, I felt like my life could finally get back on the right track.Without paying attention to what was happening around me, I got into a taxi and gave the driver my address.A few meters away, a black sedan was parked along the side of the road.Inside, a man watched me closely.He remained motionless for a few moments, gently tapping his fingers against the steering wheel with an almost unsettling rhythm.When the taxi pulled away, he did the same.— Follow her, he murmured.The sedan quietly merged into traffic without attracting the slightest attention.---About thirty minutes later, the taxi stopped in front of my apartment building.I paid the fare, thanked the driver, and quickly went upstairs to my apartment.As soon as I cl
