My ex's uncle is my husband. 33 - Cold Revenge
Chapter 33 - Cold Revenge Elizabeth could hardly believe that this 26-year-old man of good stature had slapped her hand in a way that caused her discomfort. "Not even my parents..." she grumbled, upset. "You should listen when people don't want something; you're so used to people giving in that you're this unbearable woman." "You don't even know me, how dare you jump to conclusions?" she asked, upset, still massaging her hand. Jayden glanced at her for a brief moment and then ignored her. The guy with long, well-trimmed hair and sidecuts kept his gaze away from Elizabeth, but the brightness in his brown eyes and his skin exuded a certain lightness and youthfulness. He seemed younger than he appeared, especially with his slightly blond hair that should have been brown. The tip of his nose was red, and he seemed to be running a fever. "It's not like I need to know who you are; I know enough to say that you're making my brother vulnerable." "What do you mean?" He stared at her s

"He lay back on the bed, watching her as she toyed with a strand of her hair, tucking it behind her ear with the intention of touching her skin and seeing her wake up at his touch.'When will it be?' he murmured, squinting and swallowing hard.Elizabeth's eyes opened as she felt his touch, and for a brief moment, she registered his gesture and his expression, showing discomfort. She wondered what was wrong with him.'Good morning, Elizabeth.''Morning. Are you okay?'He nodded. She sat up, showing excitement, and hugged him, allowing him to warmly return the embrace. That same warm sensation filled her chest as she touched his bare chest, feeling every firm part of his torso.For a moment, Richard let himself go and fell onto her, pressing his lips against hers and kissing her deeply.Suddenly, she found herself pinned to the bed as his hands slid over her face to the top of her head, gently tousling her hair as he kissed her cautiously, wary of rejection. However, she didn't feel the

Chapter 35: Zany BayGaby held Elizabeth's hand, showing concern, and pulled her friend up the stairs."Look at this," she announced, showing the posters plastered on the walls."What's this?" Elizabeth asked, picking up one of the sheets to read.["New swindler uses her influence to humiliate scholarship students just because he confessed his feelings for her."]"Even the school paper is reporting this. I found out the guy who was recording is from the school newspaper responsible for fetching news and gossip in school. We should have paid attention to this.""Okay..." Elizabeth sighed indifferently."It's even on the school website, the video, even with cuts and image editing. What are we going to do?" Gaby asked, concerned."I've already said, it's okay," Elizabeth commented indifferently, heading to the classroom."Why did you do that?" one of the guys asked, confronting Elizabeth, who remained cold. "He's always liked you, ever since you entered this campus. You're one of the wor
My ex's uncle is my husband. 36: Jayden's Discovery
Chapter 36: Jayden's DiscoveryBut that didn't worry him; for a while now, many people had wanted to know who this woman was. Until today, no one had ever seen her or knew who she might be. There were so many stories—of a woman whose face was ascending, gaining power and influence in various financial sectors."Do you want me to handle this?" Jayden asked."Elizabeth hasn't cared about it," murmured the person, analyzing the photos on their computer. Among the pictures was one of her being embraced by Taylor. "Plus, I want to see how far this confusion will spread. Supposedly, I might finally learn who this 'Bay' person is.""Do you think she'll show up? It would be interesting to meet such a powerful woman. I believe, in terms of power, you could even consider marrying her instead of keeping that crazy woman in your house," commented Jayden disdainfully."You don't sympathize with her?""Never. That woman is troublesome. You should be afraid when you think of trusting her.""I don't

Chapter 37: Everything in Its PlaceJayden had headed to the office at the base where he trained. He was still organizing his thoughts, not intending to tell Richard until he found out what was really going on."It can't be... I'm sure that girl is the wild rose, and she recognized me," he thought, restless.Meanwhile, Richard was now in the office, quiet and pensive about the information he had received."I'm taking you to meet my grandfather. I hope you behave because supposedly, my nephew will be there too. He tends to copy me, so obviously, he'll be there to introduce his wife and boast," he warned, displaying coldness."Why should I care whether he's there or not?""You've been meeting him behind my back.""I didn't do that, and that meant nothing. Besides..." she murmured, insecure as she picked up her bag. "We're married.""I hope you know that I won't tolerate betrayal. You won't be forgiven, even if our relationship was the way it was. I believe I deserve your loyalty, right?
My ex's uncle is my husband. 38: Evidence Against Richard
Chapter 38: Evidence Against Richard"Considering there have been worse cases, and Miss Bay has never been involved, this might be a special case.""Then, it's possible that Elizabeth has a connection with this woman…" He murmured thoughtfully, a faint smile on his face. "But I thought you had managed to get the video.""Well, actually…" She coughed uncomfortably. "Someone got there before me and had access to it.""Who?" He inquired, intrigued."Someone we already know. Supposedly, it might be that she has… something to do with Zany Bay, the assassin we knew as Wild Rose. Yesterday, I found out that it's not actually a man but a woman.""Interesting, seems like you were close to catching her. What happened?""Let's just say she had a switchblade, and I had nothing. I was careless, but now… I have an idea of how to capture her," he commented mysteriously while staring at the image of Gaby in the recording.Still at university, Taylor took the risk of meeting Elizabeth. This time, he h
My ex's uncle is my husband. 39: Old Alfred
Chapter 39: Old AlfredAfter greeting Elizabeth's parents and having to explain one, two, three times that nothing had happened, he finally managed to go upstairs to her room. Seeing the unlocked door, he just walked in and headed towards the girl's bed, which was covered from head to toe. However, what caught his attention were the sheets on her dresser. He subtly analyzed each of them and understood what was going on but didn't let it affect him."Have you not learned yet that it's better to talk than to keep storing meaningless things?" He asked, sitting on her bed and embracing her around the waist, pulling her into his arms and waking her up."What are you doing here?" She asked, pulling away."Today is the day we go to my grandfather's house. The trip is a bit long. Get ready," he suggested coldly, getting up.She just nodded. After getting ready, they set off on the journey without even communicating. Taylor had arrived first at Richard's grandfather's house, as had Emma's fath

Chapter 40: I Won't Stand for It AnymoreRichard seemed confident as he escorted Elizabeth, yet simultaneously, he felt a mixture of confidence and apprehension about how his grandfather might treat her. He knew dealing with the grandfather wasn't an easy task.Alfred, a 70-year-old gentleman, appeared sharp and perceptive in evaluating people's trustworthiness. Despite his advanced age, his elegant attire evoked the image of a duke. Like Richard, Alfred was considered an influential tycoon, holding considerable economic power.Richard lived in constant motion, always seeking improvements and advancements in the power he already held. He was fully aware that both he and Taylor were in a power competition, vying to be worthy of inheriting everything that man possessed, something that far surpassed Richard's resources.Alfred sighed d
