CLAIMED BY MY EX'S ALPHA UNCLE のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

CHAPTER 12: JEALOUSY The morning was bright and quiet as I walked through the estate gardens. I was wearing an oversized knit sweater over a high-collared shirt—mostly because my usual fitted pants were getting a little tight around my waist. "Well, look who’s enjoying his stolen victory." I stopped. Tyla stepped out from behind a hedge, his face twisted in pure spite. His usual sweet, helpless Omega act was completely gone. "Walking pretty tall today, aren't you, Soren?" Tyla sneered, stepping closer. "Enjoying playing the grand corporate heir next to James?" "The land belongs to my family, Tyla," I said coolly. "If you have a problem, talk to the lawyers." Tyla scoffed and suddenly lunged forward as if to shove me. My instincts instantly took over. I took a quick step back, my hands jumping down to cover and protect my stomach. Tyla froze. His eyes darted straight to my hands, then to my high collar and my heavy sweater. "What's wrong with you?" Tyla murmured, narrowing his

CHAPTER 14: Following the public declaration at the gala, the corporate world went into an absolute frenzy. Front-page headlines splashed photos of James’s protective hand around my waist across every major financial news outlet, sending Matthew’s reputation crumbling into the dirt. Yet inside the quiet walls of the Vance estate, the surrounding madness faded into something surprisingly gentle.True to his word, James began following Arthur’s advice to the letter. He didn't bring up our old business contract, nor did he try to force heavy conversations on me. Instead, he simply looked after me. Every morning, he personally made sure my meals were tailored to settle my stomach, placing fresh fruit, sour plums, and warm chamomile tea on my desk before I could even ask. He checked on me constantly, making sure I wasn't straining myself or sitting in uncomfortable chairs.Slow and steady, my guarded heart began to melt. For as long as I could remember, I had been fighting battles entirel

CHAPTER 16:The quiet afternoon sun streamed through the glass windows of my private quarters. Charles, my college best friend, sat across from me on the sofa, staring in total shock at the soft curve of my stomach hidden under my sweater."You're... you're actually pregnant?" Charles whispered, his jaw practically hitting the floor. "Soren, what on earth are you going to do?"I looked down at my hands, taking a quiet, deep breath. "My plan hasn't changed, Charles. Once I finish using this corporate deal to take down Matthew and reclaim my family's legacy, I'm going to end the contract with James."Charles leaned forward, his eyes filled with deep concern. "End the contract? And then what? Where will you go?""I've been thinking about leaving all this corporate warfare behind," I said softly, a small, genuine smile touching my lips for the first time in weeks. "I want to take the land I newly acquired, sell off what I don't need, and help you expand your bakery. We can build a large,

CHAPTER 18: I found Tyla standing by the tall velvet curtains of the estate library, and my stomach dropped.His clothes were disheveled, his hair wild, his face twisted with a desperate, feverish fury. Somehow he had slipped past the estate's perimeter security. After Matthew's warning to back off, he had clearly stopped listening to anyone."You think you're so clever, don't you, Soren?" Tyla hissed, his voice trembling with venom. "You stole my place. You ruined everything!"I kept my distance, a thick manila folder of audit documents pressed to my chest, my face cold and guarded. "Get out, Tyla. You're trespassing, and if James finds you here—""I don't care about James!" His eyes flashed with wild jealousy. "You took everything that should have been mine!"Before I could move, he lunged, his hands clawing for my collar.His fingers caught the edge of the scent-blocking patch behind my neck, and he tore it from my skin. The folder slipped from my arms and scattered across the flo

CHAPTER 20: Matthew paced behind his desk like a caged animal. His phone buzzed against the floor, and he scooped it up and pressed it to his ear. "Where are you? What happened?" he demanded. "Did you get anything? "He knows, Matthew! He knows everything!" Tyla's voice cracked with terror over the line. "James caught me, and now they're saying Soren is carrying his baby. We're finished! James is going to destroy us! The phone slipped from Matthew's fingers and clattered onto the desk. His face drained of color. Every careful plan he had built was coming apart. Early the next morning, the counter-attack began. The boardroom of Mercer Holdings was glass-walled and silent, the board members stiff in their leather chairs. James walked in first, his presence filling the room. I walked beside him in a sharp, tailored suit, my head held high, one hand resting briefly at my stomach before I let it fall. Arthur followed and laid a copy of the audit files in front of every board
