Entangled With My Ex's Uncle 소설 & 이야기

ANGEL “So… what’s your plan now?” my uncle asked. He was shocked by the news that he called me as soon as he heard about it. Even now, he still could not believe Gideon and I were getting divorced. Then again, he knew better than anyone how hopelessly in love I’d been with him. That even after my parents passed away, my uncle had begged me to stay in America—to heal and help manage the company—but I refused. I insisted on staying here… with Gideon… my soon-to-be ex-husband.

Leonard’s jaw tightened visibly. Marcus struck his staff once more. “This council is adjourned.” The chamber began to disperse. As I turned to leave, Leonard stepped close enough that only I could hear him. “You look nervous, Uncle.” I met his gaze coldly. “You look desperate.” His smile thinned. “You can’t prove anything,” he murmured. His words made my spine stiffen. "Once I find your involvement it your father's in this, then be rest assured I would not take it lightly."

We went back to work and struggled with the accumulated documents on the table. "Huh... how can my life be at ease if Mr. Enrick is like this? This relationship was very different when I was with Darren. I didn't even realise that Mr Enrick was the uncle of Darren-my ex-boyfriend-who had an affair." My heart ached at the thought of all this, but I couldn't deny that they had a close relationship as brother-uncle and nephew.

How could this happen to me? For goodness sake, Joan was my ex-boyfriend. How could I be on a contract marriage with his uncle? I could sense the beginning of a great controversy.

I just slept with my ex-husband's uncle. Brielle may not be getting that Kelly after all.

“Wait, does this mean that you actually sorting out the gifts in the lounge area was real?” She nodded and the sudden knot in my chest tightened. “Yes, you were pissed that Verena was ignoring you and you did everything to infiltrate her space,” My breath became long and ragged. “So, does this mean that it is true that my uncle plans on getting married to my ex-wife?” “I don't know but I guess it is true,” Those words were enough to send me spiraling as a guttural scream tore from my throat. Stacey flinched, fear in her eyes as she shifted. “How long have I been out?”

“Do you have any idea? Someone who has a motive other than your ex-wife?” I shook my head. “I don’t. Our family has always been a target of unscrupulous individuals and organizations. I am sure that my parents had earned enemies here and there over the years. Silent enemies are deadly because we don’t know when and where they will strike.” “What about your uncle? Could he be the suspect?” I shut the idea down immediately. “No. Not Uncle Matt.” After my talk with Brent, I went to look for Uncle Matt. I wished him a happy birthday and was about to leave when he called out my name.

The headlines screamed LYCAN HEIR'S WIFE LEFT IN THE DUST and POWER COUPLE'S UGLY BREAKUP. Since Father passed away, Uncle Derek had become my anchor. He'd moved into our childhood home to oversee the estate, tucked me into bed when I'd cried myself sick over the will. I couldn't drag him into this mire, not when his own life was already a tangled web of mistresses and scandals. "Uncle, nothing happened between me and Lucas." I forced a smile, the muscles in my cheeks aching from the effort. "He was just busy today by chance. Don't worry about it."
