~ MARTY ~

I did not remember leaving Roman's apartment.

All that kept replaying in my head was the word "husband" sitting in my brain, sometimes making me break into a smile that I couldn't understand.

And there was Luka's smile, and Roman's face when he understood what Luka was saying.

But what could make a man as strong as Roman that scared? What am I missing?

And I sat in my car, driving through the city at night, my hands shaking so badly I had to grip the wheel harder than necessary

  • Hidden Heiress Rising: Married to my Ex-Husband’s Uncle   Chapter 130

    ~ ROMAN ~I arrived at Button's restaurant at exactly two o'clock.The whole drive over, I kept thinking about what Mr. Lake could want from me and what he could say that would make him demand a private meeting.Somehow deep within me, I knew why but I chose to pretend I had no idea of what was coming.The restaurant was nice. It wasn't one of my franchises, I liked the setting and design, I saw more older people than young people.I took note and decided I would launch something like this in the next three months. Mr. Lake wasn't hard to identify. Marty was the photocopy of him but he was older, I smiled imagining an older Marty looking like this and I with him. I continued watching him while walking towards him. His blonde hair had a streak of white mixing in showing his age. He was sitting at a table in the back corner. It was a private table and he was wearing an expensive lermani suit and his expression was very cold. Like he was preparing for battle.When he saw me, it was as

    ~ SARAH ~I was on my way out of the apartment which I was unfortunately sharing with my parents now when I heard my father's voice on the phone.He was in the kitchen, pacing back and forth while he talked. His voice was very low, and cold.I stiffened thinking he was talking to my brother because that's how he normally talks to him and I dislike that for Marty. But I listened in on the conversation anyway. I stopped moving and pressed myself against the wall just outside the kitchen entrance and listened."Is this Roman Cage," my father demanded into the phone. His tone was sharp-edged and cold. Every word came out with disdain and disgust. Fuck! This man is about to ruin everything for Marty. I could not hear Roman's response on the other end but my father's jaw tightened visibly."This is Mathew Lake," he continued. "Marty's father. I would like to see you today. There are things we need to discuss about my son."There was a pause. A long pause. I imagined Roman on the other en

    ~ ROMAN ~The next day, I arrived at Luka's office at eleven fifty-eight.I had spent the entire morning thinking about what I was going to say. How I was going to warn my brother that I was about to burn our father's companies to the ground. And how I was going to ask him to forgive me for the fallout that would inevitably touch his life. Really? How do I even begin to explain that protecting Marty meant destroying everything our father had built, not that our father has been the best to us.Just like most elite homes, our parents had cared more about the fame, reputation and keeping the company up to standard. Luka's secretary let me through without question. She knew me, she had once worked for me while I was still working for our father. Her expression told me she already suspected something was wrong. When I entered his office, my brother was standing at his window. He was looking out at the city the way I had been looking out at it for weeks now. Almost as if he was search

    ~ ROMAN ~I stood on the balcony alone with my phone in my hand and looked at the messages from my father.The others were enjoying themselves inside, it was a good thing, I liked that Marty was happy and laughing. My phone pinged in my hand. I sighed knowing who it was even without checking. FATHER: END IT BY TOMORROW OR THERE WILL BE CONSEQUENCES YOU CANNOT IMAGINE.I read the message again and again with Danien’s words ringing in my head. I wasn't actually scared of drowning my father’s business.What I was scared of was losing the little connection I had with my younger brother.Hurting someone I have promised to always protect for my own gain wasn't entirely pleasing to me but Lord help me, I will do it if my father keeps pushing me because there is no way I am giving him what he seeks.The door to the balcony opened behind me. I quickly relaxed my face knowing who it was from the soft footsteps of his.He was back again even after I told him I would join them soon. I couldn't

    ~ ROMAN ~I was sitting in Damien's study home when I heard the commotion from downstairs.They had told me they would be returning today but Eva said I shouldn't inform Marty that she wanted to surprise him.So I asked him to escort me to their house because I wanted to pick something for work. But it was all set up by Eva and me.Eva's voice rang out through the mansion, loud and bright and alive in a way that made the whole house feel different. Next was Marty's voice answering her immediately, excited and happy in a way I had not heard from him in days.I stood up and walked downstairs.Marty was in the foyer embracing Eva like she was the most precious thing in the world. She was laughing, her hands on his face, her eyes wet with tears. Behind her, Damien stood with two babies in his arms. A boy and a girl. Danny and Danielle. Born just weeks ago. "Why did you not tell me you were coming back?" Marty demanded, pulling back from Eva just far enough to look at her properly. "Hal

    ~ MARTY ~Roman pulled up to my apartment building at eight thirty in the evening.The drive from the restaurant had been quiet. Not uncomfortable, just quiet. Roman's hand had stayed on mine the entire drive, his thumb tracing small circles on my skin like he was reassuring himself that I was real and still there.He parked in the underground garage and walked us to the elevator. Sarah was humming something to herself, completely unbothered by the intensity of the day we had just lived through.As we reached the entrance to my building, Sarah suddenly spoke up."Roman," she called out, her voice taking on a serious tone that I had never heard from her since she came. "I want you to know something."I quickly stiffened thinking she was about to say something stupid. Roman turned to look at her, his expression curious."Do not hurt my brother," Sarah warned, her voice very firm. "Because if you do, I will come for you. I do not care how rich you are or how many connections you have.

    ~ EVANGELINE'S POV ~A week passed before anything outside the hospital room mattered to me.I sat beside Damien's bed for most of it, and every time I closed my eyes I saw the blood spreading through his shirt, felt the warmth of it on my hands.I was not sleeping well. When I did sleep, I woke up

    ~ EVANGELINE'S POV ~I changed for the third time, eventually settling for a floral gown with pleats.I told myself it was not because I was nervous, but simply common sense to want to look appropriate for a restaurant outing.Also, knowing Damien, I knew he must have chosen somewhere very flashy,
