Hidden Heiress Rising: Married to my Ex-Husband’s Uncle Chapter 142
~ JACKSON ~I did not speak until the gates of the estate closed behind us in the rearview mirror.I could not because I was worried that if I opened my mouth too early, I was going to say something about my family that I could never take back. My hands were tight on the steering wheel and my jaw ached from how hard I had been clenching it since the study.Lisa sat in the passenger seat, staring out the window. She had not said a word since the cake. She had smiled for Mia, clapped when she blew out her candles, and then gone silent. My brother's gaze had also been on her all night.I truly feel horrible."I am sorry," I finally murmured as guilt tried to choke me.She did not look at me."For which part?" she asked, eyeing me."All of it," I said. "For dragging you here and for lying to Victor. For Charlotte's behavior and my mother standing there watching her insult you like it was dinner theater. For every single second of tonight.""You defended me," she said quietly. "That is m

~ LISA ~There are occasions in life when your heart drops into your stomach and stays there.This was one of those occasions.Victor stood in the doorway with a cold mocking smile on his face. Behind him, his whole family had gathered like an audience at a hanging procedure. Jackson looked confused but Charlotte looked delighted while Zac looked like he was about to be sick.With the delighted smile on Charlotte’s face, I knew she was the one responsible for orchestrating this crowd. And to make matters worse, I was standing here with my hand still on the drawer of the desk.Run, my brain screamed. That was a bad idea, I shot back at it. Then lie, it suggested, and I decided at that moment it was what I was going to do.Next time, when I intend to break into someone's home, I will make sure to have a plan B."Well," Victor cooed softly. "It seems we have a thief in our midst."Technically, I wasn't stealing just lifting for information but who cares to know that. I straightened m

~ LISA ~The moment I saw Victor's face, I wanted to kill him.Not in an imaginative way but physically, I actually want to walk up to him and put my hands around his throat and squeeze until he stops breathing. And he understood what it felt like to have everything taken from you and he feels even a fraction of the pain he had caused me and Zac. My father's face flashed through my mind alongside my mother's coffin. The years of raising my siblings alone. With nights I worked three jobs just to keep us fed and the way I had to become a mother and a father at sixteen because this man could not control himself or tell his stupid classist family that he didn't want to marry the person they wanted for him to marry. My hands instinctively clenched into fists so hard my nails dug into my palms.Victor was still standing there and smiling a cold smile that made his eyes void and empty.He was looking at me like I was prey and he was a predator deciding whether to strike.Too bad, I wasn'

~ JACKSON ~I did not think she would come.I had called her with urgency in my voice, knowing Lisa, I thought she wouldn't answer.But she has and not just that, she had even said yes to come. That had scared me because I thought she would block my number but again, she gave another surprise and showed up an hour later.I should have felt relief but what I felt instead was guilt. Deep seated guilt that made my chest tightened in pain.What I was about to ask her to do was not good. It was manipulation and using someone to solve my own problem. Unfortunately, I was trapped and there was no other way out. And there’s no one that I trusted as much as her right now. My mother had been suffocating me for weeks. If it's not ‘Charlotte is coming to dinner’, it's ‘Charlotte is coming to the gala’. I am tired! I almost want to pull my hair out. Damien and Roman had been laughing at me instead of providing me a solution. I don't know how to get rid of Charlotte. She is always there, always

~ LISA ~ I left the restaurant without telling him. While he was still drunk and distracted, I got up from the table and walked straight to the exit in the disguise of a restroom. I did not look back or wait for him to notice. I just ran for my life. I will not ruin an opportunity like this for me! The server was still watching from across the restaurant and the director with the others were laughing. No one was paying attention to me. My mind ate at me worrying that I was leaving a drunk man with a starved woman but I am no keeper of any man. Plus, I do not have any good intentions towards him either so I wasn't any good either. I got into a taxi and gave the driver my address. My hands were shaking and I could not stop it. It was just the urge to kiss. It's nothing and I am human, simply because I am seeking revenge does not mean I can't find a man handsome by having the urge to kiss him. It's normal, it just proved I am human. I repeated that to myself the entir

~ JACKSON ~Fuck! She really blocked my number! For two days, I kept trying to call her, and text her but she had ignored every single attempt of call. Unable to bear it, I had shown up at Moreau fashion house but she had refused to see me. I kept standing there until Eva had told me Lisa was busy and could not be disturbed.That was a lie because I knew the truth. She was avoiding me, which meant to me that she felt something and I was getting through.On the third day, I decided to take a different approach.The first interviews for my film were going to air that night. My publicist had organized a small celebration at a Korean restaurant in Manhattan. It was just a few people. The director, the producer and a couple of cast members.I also made sure to invite Lisa but Eva became a blockage as she called me that morning."Jackson, she said she cannot make it," Eva said, nonchalantly. "Then tell her it is mandatory," I replied. "Tell her it is part of her job and whatever you nee

~ EVANGELINE POV ~I picked up the folder, and it was heavier than it looked.I opened it and read the header, then read it again because the first reading didn't fully sink in.The Linden contract.I knew this contract. Everyone in the European fashion world knows about this contract. It was the

~ DAMIEN'S POV ~The hotel was quiet, just the way I wanted.I had cleared it earlier that morning before leaving because I had planned to surprise Eva.Give her the news of Alexandre being dealt with, and her winning the competition, then support it with the Linden contract. But Alexandre, I do no

~ EVANGELINE POV ~"Mom, help. Alexandre came into my room again last night. You need to do something."My mother was at her vanity, running a brush through her hair with the unhurried patience of a woman who had decided the conversation was not worth interrupting her routine for."Eva, darling. Wh
