Claimed By My Ex's Father-in-law Novels & Stories

I eyed the length of her. “Is Glenda your ex?” Her curious gaze was set firmly on me. She interpreted my silence to be consent and gasped as the realization hit her. “You brought your ex into your father's home?” She asked incredulously. “I didn't bring her here. She was forced to marry him… Lucy, you don't know the half of it. Leave it!” I snapped at her. “How do you think your father would react when he finds out about this?” Her tone dripped with astonishment.

I stared at him, blinking slowly, as if maybe my ears had malfunctioned. “Excuse me?” “You heard me.” His fingers were laced together on the table, but the knuckles were white with pressure. “I want back into the board. I built that company too. I’ve worked for it for years—since before you were even part of the picture. He can’t just freeze me out like I’m nothing.” “You’re joking.” My voice dropped. Cold, trembling disbelief rattled through my ribs. Adrian looked up at me, his face serious. “It’s my father’s company too. I have every right to be part of it.”

He just pulled a hand from his pocket and checked his watch, a pure display of bored power. "I didn't think you had the invitation to one, Michael. But I suppose you’ve always been good at sneaking into places you don't belong." My heart stopped. Father? The world tilted around me. The man I had loved, the man who had broken me, was the son of the man I had signed a contract to marry. Can life laugh harder in my face? Just then, Adrian’s eyes drifted past Michael and landed on me. His gaze darkened, shifting from ice to something possessive and predatory.

“I don't speak to nobodies.” The dismissal was surgical, absolute. He didn’t look at her. He simply took my hand, his touch, a searing brand against my wrist and pulled me toward the door. But I couldn’t leave without savoring their defeat. In a slow, deliberate movement, I turned my head back. ‘You will crawl back to me after the old man who is nearly your father's age uses you and tosses you aside or worse, kills you and accuses you of going feral as what he did to my mother. Mark my words.’

“Don’t do that or else, my father will kill you for harming his business partners.” He scoffed. “Father-in-law’s company will still remain on top because you have me love. Don’t worry and don’t degrade your husband’s power and authority.” He proudly said before suddenly pulling me. “Now, where were we?” I felt the temperature rose higher when his slender fingers began to explore. Because of his big built, I couldn’t push him away, nor was I planning to stop him. Like hey, this man’s the person whom I was craving for years y’all.

Maxim chuckled with a condescending look at Avery as if assessing a worthless object, “She betrayed your son with another man, have you forgotten?” “So?” Leonard's tone was as flat as his expression when facing Maxim. Maxim stepped closer to his father, “Father, are you crazy? She's my ex-wife.” He rubbed his face roughly, “What were you thinking, marrying her without any of us knowing?” “Go inside, Avery,” Leonard asked, and the woman immediately obeyed, stepping inside Leonard's private quarters, leaving the man and Maxim behind. Leonard looked seriously at Maxim. “You, get out of my sight right now,” he ordered.

My father pushed me away slightly, his lips parting to spat in disbelief, " YOUR GRANDFATHER-IN-LAW." I almost slipped my feet in surprise. In my thoughts, Grandpa has always been kind to me. He was a father figure in our family. I muttered weakly, tears falling from my eyes, "I'm... Impossible..he won't ever...he.." My father shouted back his response more aggressively, blaming me for everything,

"The stories about..' my mother-in-law said, her eyes narrowed. “About your ex-wife, A wave of anger washed over me. "I moved on from that years ago," I said. "That's all in the past." "If it's in the past,"Athena said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, 'then why does she still have such a hold over you?" "She doesn't," I insisted. “I just want to remind you that I chose you over her. So what’s the point of your accusation against me?! My in-laws exchanged glances in front of us. They were clearly shocked. "Again, Celine Winston?' my mother-in-law asked, her voice laced with disbelief. "You were married to her?"

I yelled at her, "...I won't let you…" "Are you forgetting that I'm still his legal wife? I have a say on whether or not he should stay on life support…" She was proudly claiming to still be his wife even though she was rolling around in bed with my ex it was sickening to hear and it made my blood boil, my fingers were trembling so much to plant a slap across her face but knowing how that was going to be painted in the worst way possible I held myself back. "After everything my father has done for you…" I said, my shoe scraping against the bare soil beneath our feet.
