Married First Loved Later : A Flash Marriage With My Ex’s "uncle" Novels & Stories

He had been my rock through everything, and I was eternally grateful. As we walked, I couldn’t help but reflect on how far we’d come. It seemed like a lifetime ago that I had first met Ares under such dire circumstances. My mind drifted back to the day my world had turned upside down. My ex-husband, Daniel, Ares's nephew, had tried to kill me. The memory was still vivid – the fear, the desperation, and the betrayal. Daniel had been a despicable man, cunning and ruthless. Our marriage had been a nightmare, a prison from which I saw no escape. Until Ares came into my life.

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 need to know what he has found out about my mate. " Where is she?" I ask urgently. He hesitates a bit and gives me a black envelope. I open it slowly, and what I see there breaks my heart. " They are back from their honeymoon," Uncle sighs. He goes to the fridge and gets two bottles of beer. He turns on the TV. The pictures in the envelope only upset me more. They show a real couple acting like a couple, smiling and holding hands as they walk. " This is stupid." " Not really. They are married," Uncle says. I glare at him, but he is not fazed. All this time, I comforted myself by saying that their wedding was only for the show. They wanted to restore her reputation, which I had succeeded in

Her eyes were glassy, red from crying, but damn, she was still so painfully beautiful it almost broke me. “You’re wrong,” I said firmly. She blinked at me, lips trembling. “Wrong? About what? That you’re married now? That I’ve already lost you?” I swallowed hard, brushing my thumb across her cheek, lingering longer than I should have. Her skin was warm, soft, addictive. “I didn’t marry her.” Lara’s breath hitched, but instead of relief, a bitter, shaky laugh left her lips. “Don’t… don’t play with me like that, Uncle. Not now. You left before dawn. You didn’t even look back. Do you know how that felt?”

Well, I did not tell them everything about it because visiting them the last time was also the time when I found out about Malia's betrayal. "Your son married someone already." Uncle Romnick announced while smiling at me. "What?" Everyone in the family blurted out in surprise. "What do you mean he's married? With who?" Mom added. I can see that everyone was completely excited and intrigued to hear more about Malia so I said, "But we already broke up. And she's getting married to someone else tomorrow. Sad life, right?"

FLASH BACK "July 7, 2013, I moved in with my uncle, it was all jolly and love, he showered me with affection and a sense of security, back then, I never thought, the kind of love I reciprocated was not the one he emitted," Aramide admitted. "July 23, 2013, My uncle pulled out his belt and hit me." A tear slipped from her eye.

Steph was present, she was placing a coffee cup on his table I took a deep breath and walked in, determined to tell him what my uncle had said. “Welcome back”, she greeted me. I just nodded in reply, I was too tired to speak. When she left, I took it as the perfect opportunity to talk to Zack. "Zack," I began, my voice steady despite the turmoil inside me, "my uncle said I’ll only get the properties on our first wedding anniversary. He doesn’t believe this marriage is real." Zack glanced at me briefly while maintaining his indifferent demeanor. "Then we’ll just extend the contract." I stared at him, stunned by his callousness. "You’re enjoying this, aren’t you?"

He hadn’t said much but I could sense the gravity of situation. “I don’t think I should be there, I mean I am the newest addition in the family and they doesn’t seem to be a big fan of me since I started dating Liam.” I stated what had been running in my mind He winced on the mention of his nephew. How absurd it feels to imagine I married my ex-fiance’s uncle.

“We dated for about a year until I brought her home to meet my uncle. I guess she liked him more than she claimed to love me. but she ended up leaving me for my uncle and six months later they got married.” Still Nick kept his mouth shut. “I was hurt because she was the first person I loved after Olivia.” He furrowed his eyebrows. “I was keeping an eye on her while I finished my studies and getting training on the Walker companies and fortune. Then I heard she married you and I gave up and got serious with her. then she left me for my uncle and that was that.”

"Uncle Icarus, Ava and I are getting engaged next month. You have to come!” "Is Ava your girlfriend from college?" There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and Jake replied slowly, "No, Uncle Icarus. That ex and I broke up a long time ago." Icarus did not say much, knowing that it was normal for young people to fall in and out of love. He agreed to come to the engagement and promised to be there on the day. Jake hung up the phone and turned to Ava. "Uncle Icarus promised to come. I'll introduce him to you on that day. He's a powerful figure in the financial industry."
