All Chapters of Carrying My Husband's Billionaire Uncle's Child (English): Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

Scarlett’s eyes widened. She looked down at the floor and saw the wine already flowing toward Darius’s feet from where she had been sitting earlier.Alfonso was about to look down, but Darius quickly grabbed his arm and raised his glass.“Cheers?” Darius asked, the corner of his lips lifting.Alfonso clinked his glass against Darius’s, and everyone started celebrating again.Scarlett let out a quiet breath. Darius was obviously teasing her. He seemed to know that she hadn’t taken even a single sip of wine and was only testing her to see if she would actually drink.She simply picked up her juice and drank it. The sweetness was comforting, a small anchor against the tension gnawing at her chest.While the others continued talking inside, Scarlett suddenly felt like she needed to use the restroom. She picked up her bag and was about to leave when Darius noticed her.“Are you leaving already?” he asked.For a moment, Scarlett felt like she had gone deaf. Darius’s gentle tone made her hea

A familiar scent suddenly reached Scarlett, and before she could even react, she was pulled into an embrace that made her feel incredibly safe.“Stay quiet,” Darius whispered to her.“D-Darius...” Scarlett flinched when she heard him. She felt Darius’s lips near her ear, making her swallow hard. But she couldn’t deny that it was only then that she felt safe. Even though she hadn’t made it out of that place yet, as long as Darius was there, she knew she was safe and that nothing bad would happen to her.She could feel her heart pounding hard against her chest, especially as heavy footsteps drew closer down the hallway. Her hand gripped Darius’s jacket, almost pressing her face against his chest as she tried to control her fear.Darius turned slightly, shifting her closer to the stairwell door. His embrace was firm but careful, as though he were shielding her from the chaos of the entire night. Their bodies were pressed close enough to keep her hidden from the hallway.When the men chas

“We haven’t seen each other for almost a week,” the man complained from the other end of the line. “I miss you, Devine. I want to sleep beside you again. Can’t you come tonight? Even just for a little while?”Devine rolled her eyes dramatically in annoyance. “Babe, you know I don’t turn you down when I can see you, right? But not tonight or tomorrow. I can’t. I’ll call you when I can.”She heard him sigh. “Fine, fine. I’ll wait for your call. I love you.”“Alright. I love you.” She didn’t let the conversation drag on and ended the call.The man she had been talking to was the supervisor of the hotel where Darius was searching for the woman who had slept with him. She had seduced the supervisor until he had become obsessed with her. In exchange for her body, she had convinced him to alter the guest records so Darius’s people wouldn’t discover that she was an impostor and had been lying all along.Sinking back onto her bed, Devine allowed herself a small, victorious smile. The pieces we

Scarlett sat at her desk, staring at the frozen screen of her laptop. Her brows were furrowed as she tried to make sense of the codes on the screen that looked like some alien language. She had been working on her project proposal when her laptop suddenly started acting up. Since she wasn’t tech-savvy, the only thing she could think of was posting on Facegram to ask for help.While waiting for someone to reply, she kept tapping her fingers against the desk, clearly growing frustrated. She had planned to sleep early that night and finish her project proposal so she could finally rest, but how was she supposed to finish it without her laptop?Within minutes, comments and suggestions from her coworkers started pouring in. Some were helpful, some were unsure, and of course, a few were just there to ask questions.As Scarlett scrolled through her phone, one thing made her finger stop.Tobias had liked her post.Her eyes widened. He had never been the type to stalk her on social media, not

Scarlett sighed before raising her hand to knock on the door. She waited for a few moments, but no one answered from inside.“Darius?” she called.When she still got no response, she turned the doorknob and opened the door. She stopped at the doorway when she saw Darius sitting at his desk. His head was lowered, one hand propping it up, and the exhaustion on his face was impossible to miss.She walked over to the front of his desk and stood there.“So you’re here. I thought no one was inside, so I came in,” she said almost in a whisper as she placed the medicine on his desk. “Greg asked Jaime to get it. If you’re not feeling well, you should take the medicine right away.”Darius gave no reply. Fatigue weighed heavily on his expression, making him seem distant, almost unreachable. There were piles of papers covering his desk, and just looking at them was exhausting. No wonder he looked so worn out.“I won’t stay long,” she told him. “I’m heading out too. When you’re ready for the meeti
