Summary of the Dating My Scumbag Ex’s Uncle
She thought life couldn't get much worse than being pushed into the sea by her cheating husband and his mistress. But then, fate took an unexpected twist – she was found washed ashore by none other than that jerk’s uncle.
For seven years straight, he became her lifeline, basically saving her from drowning in shame and gossip. He stuck meticulously by her side, protecting her like it was a damn personal mission. And honestly? That quiet strength meant no one could bring themselves to look down on her after that. Her reputation started getting rebuilt piece by piece.
But the backstory didn't help much. She'd already dealt with a miscarriage and an ugly divorce before he stepped in. The kicker is, that scumbag ex-husband was his nephew too. Talk about messed up family drama.
On his end, this uncle guy wouldn't settle for anyone else. He dropped rumors like flies around his head and basically went toe-to-toe with the whole extended family just to be with her – even if they were technically already 'together' in a way she never wanted.
So yeah... ice versus fire relationship dynamic, you could say. Both of them burned bright for seven years, maybe too damn bright sometimes.
But here's the thing: she realized that loving someone from your lowest point is *different*. It changes everything. The ultimate tragedy isn't just finding true love with the wrong person; it's realizing you finally found it... but only after being covered in wounds and scars.
She stared at her reflection, tears blurring the surface. That heartache had left deep marks, maybe deeper than she thought possible. She looked ten years younger now, beautiful again, vibrant – a stark contrast to those scarred memories.
Then a thought crossed her mind: what if *this* was the real chance? A fresh start with him, someone who understood her pain but wouldn't be defined by it.
And honestly, whispering that promise at herself in front of the mirror felt like standing on solid ground for maybe... this time?
