Your Uncle’s My Husband Now Back Off, Ex! novel Chapter 48

**TITLE: Through Unseen Doors We Step Into Untold Worlds Beyond by Sage Hunter Lane**
**Chapter 48**

In the shadowy expanse of the hospital corridor, Kenneth found himself clutching an exorbitant medical bill, its numbers glaring at him like a relentless specter of despair. His brow furrowed deeply, each crease on his forehead a testament to the weight of his mounting anxiety. The sum was staggering, far beyond what he had braced himself for. Even after parting with the family home—a decision that had torn at his heart—they were still ensnared in a financial quagmire that seemed insurmountable. Just as he spiraled deeper into his thoughts, the shrill ring of his phone shattered the silence, and he recognized the voice of Lucia, sharp and demanding, cutting through his fog of worry.

“When are you planning to make your move?!” she barked, her impatience palpable, like a knife slicing through the tension in the air.

Kenneth cast a glance at the bill again, the figures swimming before his eyes as the enormity of his situation pressed down on him. With a heavy sigh, he mustered the courage to respond, “In the next few days.”

On the other end of the line, Lucia’s lips twisted into a cold, triumphant smile, a glimmer of malicious delight flickering in her gaze. “Good. Remember, move quickly and don’t leave any traces.” Her words dripped with a chilling confidence that sent a shiver down Kenneth’s spine.

“I know what to do,” he affirmed, though the gnawing uncertainty in his gut made him question if he truly did.

As Lucia ended the call, a wicked gleam danced in her eyes, reveling in the dark orchestration of her plan. Once Kenneth executed the grim task of eliminating Nyla, she had every intention of placing an anonymous call to the police, ensuring that both would meet their tragic end at the scene. It was a nefarious scheme, a perfect way to quench her thirst for revenge against Nyla while silencing Kenneth forever.

Meanwhile, Nyla, blissfully unaware of the sinister machinations at play, was summoned into her supervisor Genevieve’s office, her heart fluttering with a mix of anticipation and anxiety.

“Nyla, please take a seat,” Genevieve instructed, her demeanor serious as she closed the file resting in her hands. The atmosphere shifted, thick with a palpable tension. “I have important news to share with you.”

Nyla’s heart raced, a flicker of anxiety darting through her as she settled into the chair. “What news?” she asked, her voice barely concealing her nervousness.

Genevieve’s expression softened, a hint of a smile breaking through her serious facade. “It’s good news. Both headquarters and our investor, Prospectus Technology, have recognized the immense value of the project you developed. The company has decided to send you to work at Prospectus Technology for a while.”

“Go to Prospectus Technology?” Nyla’s eyes widened in disbelief, her mind racing with the implications of such an opportunity.

“Yes, this will streamline the follow-up on the project. Your research results have garnered significant attention from them,” Genevieve elaborated, her tone encouraging, as if she were sharing a secret that could change Nyla’s life.

A whirlwind of emotions flooded Nyla’s mind. Wasn’t Prospectus Technology connected to Damon? Was this mere coincidence, or was fate weaving an intricate tapestry of their lives?

“However,” Genevieve continued, her voice tinged with caution, “the project cycle might be lengthy. I worry it could take one or two years before you can return.”

Genevieve’s smile returned, illuminating the room. “But here’s the best part – there’s a five hundred dollar per day business trip allowance.”

The moment Nyla processed that figure, her eyes sparkled with excitement, a sense of disbelief washing over her. Five hundred dollars a day translated to a staggering fifteen thousand dollars a month!

“I accept!” she exclaimed, her voice brimming with enthusiasm, her heart racing with the thrill of new beginnings. “When do I start?”

“You can report tomorrow,” Genevieve replied, her smile widening, clearly pleased with Nyla’s eagerness.

As Nyla exited Genevieve’s office, her heart was a wild drumbeat of exhilaration. She quickly sought out her colleague Amanda, bubbling over with the thrilling news.

“I can hardly believe it myself!” Nyla beamed, her smile so wide it felt as if it could stretch from ear to ear, illuminating her face with joy.
