One week had passed since the dramatic birthday celebration, and Evelyn was sitting in Lena's living room when her phone started ringing again.

It had been like this for days. First Nathan calling repeatedly until she blocked his number. Then her father Richard started his endless stream of calls. Evelyn just let the phone buzz on the coffee table, ignoring it completely.

On the tenth call that morning, Lena slammed her book shut in frustration. "Why don't you just block your father too?" she e

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 194: Nowhere to Be Found

    Evelyn was deep asleep.The name Avery, Lena's warning, Roman's desperate pleas—all of it faded into the dark. The weight of the day pulled her under until she was floating in a dreamless void.Then someone grabbed her shoulders.“Evelyn. Evelyn!”She stirred, her brow creasing.The voice sounded urgent and familiar. “Evelyn, wake up!”Her eyes fluttered open.Lena hovered over her, tears streaming down her face. Her lips were moving, but Evelyn’s mind was still clouded with sleep. She blinked several times, trying to make sense of what she was seeing.“Lena… what’s wrong?”Lena struggled to steady her breathing. “It’s Noah… he’s… he’s gone.”Evelyn stared at her. The words refused to register.She was still wrapped in the warmth of the duvet, her thoughts moving far too slowly.“…What?”Lena shook her head, tears spilling down her cheeks. “Mrs. Chen took him for a walk. I only looked away for a few minutes… and when I turned back…” her voice gave way. “They were gone.”Every trace of

    WARNING: R–RATED SCENE 18+; STEAMY SCENE AHEAD.Roman didn’t answer. His gaze drifted to her lips before returning to her eyes. His thumb traced the curve of her jaw with reverence, afraid that if he looked away for even a second, she might disappear.“Evelyn.” He muttered under his breath. “I can’t lose you.”She opened her mouth to speak, but he rested a finger against her lips before a single word could escape.“Don’t.” His eyes searched hers in desperation. “Just let me hold you tonight. Let me know you’re still with me.”Evelyn could hear the crack in his voice. “Roman…”He kissed her before she could finish. Every touch of his lips felt like a silent confession, as if he was pouring everything he couldn’t bring himself to say into that single kiss.Evelyn’s fingers slipped into his hair, grounding her self in the kisses.When he finally drew back, he rested his forehead against hers and closed his eyes. “Tell me you’re mine.”“Roman—”“Please.”She cupped his face, her palms war

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 192: Hold Me Together

    The voices downstairs grew louder as Evelyn and Lena made their way down the staircase.A security guard stood at the entrance with one arm raised, trying to block the man before him. Another lingered behind him, looking completely at a loss.Standing in the middle of the commotion was Roman.His coat was wrinkled, his usually immaculate hair was in disarray, and the exhaustion on his face was impossible to ignore. Dark shadows rested beneath his eyes, making him look as though he hadn’t slept in days.Evelyn slowed to a stop. “Roman?”The moment he heard her voice, he brushed past the security guard without another glance and crossed the room in long, hurried strides.Before Evelyn could react, he pulled her into his embrace.His arms wrapped tightly around her waist, holding her with a desperation that caught her completely off guard. His face disappeared into her hair as he drew a deep, uneven breath, as though having her in his arms was enough to steady him.Evelyn stood there in

    The darkness was thick and suffocating.Roman stood in the middle of a white cold room. The smell of antiseptic burned his nostrils.A woman sat on a metal chair in the center, crying. Her hands were bound, with her dark hair spilling all over her face."Please… help me…" her voice echoed off the walls. "I'm in pain…"Roman tried to move, but his feet wouldn't obey. "My daughter…"He heard his own voice, strong and clear. "She's disrupting the process."He wasn't saying it, but it was his voice.A man stepped out of the shadows. Roman couldn't see his face, he only saw the outline of his frame. "Catherine, I own you. You can't escape from me. You're mine forever."The woman lifted her head.Roman saw her face clearly for the first time. Catherine Hayes stared at him through tears."Evelyn…" she whispered. "My Evelyn…" her eyes locked onto Roman. "You knew."Roman tried to speak, but no words came out."You knew and you did nothing." Her voice cracked. "You let me die. You killed ME!”

  • BOUND TO My EX'S UNCLE    Chapter 190: The First Clue.

    Roman lifted the lid.Nestled inside the faded velvet lining lay a deep red ruby pendant. Even under the bedroom’s warm lighting, the gemstone seemed to trap every strand of light, glowing like a dying ember hidden beneath ash.Everything inside him stopped.He reached toward it almost unconsciously, his fingertips brushing across the cold surface before lifting it from the box.“…No.”The faint smile on his face vanished. ‘It couldn’t be. It wasn’t possible.’Roman remained rooted to the spot. The pendant suspended between his fingers as countless memories crashed through his mind.Every choice he had made. Every secret he had buried. Everything he had convinced himself was safely locked away.His breathing grew uneven. “How… how did this end up here?”His thoughts scattered in every direction.Unable to trust his own eyes, he lowered his gaze to the ruby once more, turning it over carefully. The familiar weight, the tiny imperfection near its edge, the pale gold chain woven through

    Roman leaned back in his study chair, the glow from several monitors washing over his tired face. His gold-rimmed glasses rested low on his nose, the sleeves of his shirt were rolled above his elbows, and the top two buttons had long since been undone.Theon’s voice flowed through the laptop speakers.“If we reduce the compound ratio by zero point three percent, the binding agent should stabilize. The original formula was far too volatile.”Roman jotted down a few notes.“I came to the same conclusion. But the temperature threshold has to come down as well. The original lab had a controlled environment. We can’t recreate those conditions.”“We’ll compensate somewhere else.” Theon scribbled across the page in front of him. “I’ll run another trial with the revised formula and send everything over.”Roman closed his notebook. “Do that. We’re getting close.”The discussion continued for several more minutes as they compared data, challenged each other’s assumptions, and pieced together fr

    Roman led Evelyn into the marriage bureau, his hand steady on the small of her back. The process was surprisingly swift—within an hour, they had signed all the necessary documents. A small red marriage certificate was placed in her hands.She stared at it, unable to believe she was now legally Mrs.

    Roman returned to find Evelyn pacing the suite like a caged tiger. She whirled around the moment she heard the door open, her eyes blazing with frustration and determination."We need to talk about this—right now!" she demanded."Not here," Roman said firmly, his tone leaving no room for argument.
