All Chapters of Rewriting the Tragic Script: The Uncle is my True Lead: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

“Kimberly Holland, do you honestly think you’re fit to be my sister-in-law?”The young woman remained crouched at the edge of the fountain, her lips curled into a venomous, triumphant sneer. She stared down at Nia as if inspecting an unwelcome insect trapped beneath the heel of her designer shoe.Nia just blinked up at her, still dazed, her brain furiously piecing together the surreal nightmare she’d landed in.“Give it a rest,” the lady scoffed, reaching down to shove Nia’s damp head back with two dismissive fingers. “My brother won’t even touch you with a ten-foot pole. Only Vivian is worthy of the Kruger name.”Nia, now Kimberly, eyes narrowed into a razor-sharp glare. The shock evaporated, replaced instantly by an all-consuming, incandescent annoyance.‘So this snobby brat is Lucy Kruger,’ Kimberly thought, a dark, wicked grin tugging at the corner of her mind. ‘The insufferable sister-in-law.’“See that?” Lucy raised her voice, projecting it across the lawn so every wealthy bys

“Theo,” Jeffrey Kruger warned, his tone heavy with caution. “Sit down.”Theo glared murderously at Kimberly, but under his father’s stern gaze, he reluctantly sank back into the leather cushions.Meanwhile, Finnick Kruger watched the dramatic circus unfolding before him, a flicker of genuine amusement dancing deep in his dark eyes, a rare sight, considering almost nothing ever amused him.He shifted, his gaze icy and calculating as he focused on the father and son. “Theo. Care to explain what, exactly, is going on here?”Jeffrey let out a heavy sigh, glancing awkwardly between Vivian and Theo before attempting to smooth things over. “This is Vivian Holland, Kimberly’s adopted sister. She and Theo... well, they’ve always been very close.”Lucy nodded along frantically, eager to back her father up.Finnick lowered his eyelids, his brain sifting through the ridiculous logic. “Hmm. Let me get this straight.” His voice dropped, thick with menace. “His wife’s younger sister, pregnant, no l

Finnick stared at his older brother, a look of cool, dark amusement playing in his eyes. “A kept woman…”Jeffrey immediately straightened up, cold sweat breaking out across his forehead. “Ah?”“…and a mistress,” Finnick continued smoothly, the faintest twitch of a smile tugging at his lips. “And another. And another. And another…”Jeffrey was practically vibrating with panic, while Theo bit his lip so hard he was practically choking back his laughter at his father’s expense.“Eh…” Jeffrey stuttered, his face pale. “Finn, d-don’t you believe a single word out of her mouth!”“If you don’t believe me, Uncle,” Kimberly cut in, throwing her hands up with a dramatic, tragic pout, “I can provide you with their exact street addresses later! I’m sure a man as magnanimous as Father…” She drawled out the word with heavy sarcasm. “…while asking me to raise his illegitimate grandchild, is also planning to bring all of his other bastard children home so Mother can raise them all together?”Finnick

Kimberly stomped into her bedroom and slammed the door shut with a deafening BANG.Hands jammed firmly onto her waist, she began furiously pacing back and forth across the hardwood floor.“What is wrong with this Finnick Kruger?!” she fumed aloud to her empty room. “I’ve read dozens of trope-heavy web novels, and what kind of ‘uncle’ character doesn’t ruthlessly fight and scheme to steal his nephew’s girl? I’m literally trapped inside a romance book, so why on earth is Finnick Kruger being so ridiculously principled?!”She scoffed, a dark, determined glint flashing in her eyes. “No way. I’m not letting this go. For the greater good of my sanity, and my revenge plot, I have to get on Finnick Kruger’s pirate ship. He is my only ticket to laying waste to every single villain in this house.”A mischievous, shameless grin slowly spread across her face.“And I will definitely make him mine,” she whispered to herself. “I finally transmigrated into a romance novel, so I might as well enjoy th

Kimberly walked across the room with cute steps, sliding into the chair at the opposite end of the table. She rested her chin in her hands, fixing Finnick with a shameless, dreamy gaze.Thick clouds of cigarette smoke hung heavy in the air, but she didn’t mind it in the slightest. She just sat there, admiring the view.Finnick slowly leaned back against his leather armchair, letting out a heavy sigh as he met her gaze. “What are you doing back in my private quarters?”Kimberly shrugged, her lips forming a petulant pout. “Nobody stopped me.”“Then I’ll make sure to ban you...”Kimberly’s hand shot out instantly in a panic. “Wait!!”Frowning at him, she picked up a fork and a plate, casually plucking choice morsels from the untouched gourmet spread. “You really need to cool down sometimes, Finn.”Finnick’s right eyebrow arched up. “What did you just call me?”At the side of the table, Jonas felt his heart skip a beat, a cold sweat breaking out on his neck.Kimberly looked up at Finnick
