Marry My Rival's Uncle for Revenge

What is going on here?

Jonathan's POV

My niece Emma has called me to come to Mike's house as they have exciting news. I love my niece, but I know that she is not a good woman. I have failed her. I was the one who was supposed to take care of her when my brother and sister died. Emma turned out to be a woman who would do anything she wanted. She is giving me grey hair. I know Doctor Mike. Everybody knows him and his family. They are all surgeons. They never let anybody in the medical community forget that they are all surgeons, the whole family, and I think my niece has decided that she wants to become the next Dr Waltz. I feel sorry for Christine Waltz. I tried to warn her about her husband. I am driving to Mike's house when I see Christine lying on the ground outside the house.

"Professor Stevens, what are you doing here? I am sorry, I am a mess. You were right. Your niece did have an affair with my husband. Or shall I say soon-to-be ex-husband?” Christine says as she tries to get up from the ground. I bend over and pull her up.

"Well, I'm sorry it had to happen to you, but on the other hand, I am glad that you are out of that toxic family. You do not belong here. You have a good heart, and you are a great surgeon, much better than any one of them. I hope you are reconsidering your ex-husband's position at your father's hospital. I hope you tell your father everything. I do not want him to be the head of our surgical department. He is not that great, and his skills are lacking. I am only your father's silent partner. I don't have a say in running the whole business because I do not want to be that involved. It will not give me the time to help people in need. Dry your tears. They are not worthy of your tears. Ah, we'll go and sort out my niece. I don't want her to be involved with that family. However, I cannot stop her from getting involved with that man because she is not young anymore, and I cannot tell her what to do. It is her life, but I know she's going to mess it up like you did. Why are you lying here outside? Did they kick you out?" I ask.

“Yeah, but it is my house. I bought it. We have a prenup, because my in-laws were afraid I would suck Mike dry,” Christine says.

“Well, this is not happening! Not on my watch! I don’t understand my niece. Why would she break up a marriage, and that for someone like Mike?” I say half to myself.

"She is pregnant, but ... never mind, it is none of my business," Christine says.

"What?" I ask.

"Like I said, it's none of my business, and I don't have a say in their lives. It is for them to decide what they need to do and if they want to be honest with each other. Good luck with that family, as they are now going to become a part of your family. I just want them out of my house! I paid for those houses. Yes, I was that stupid and even bought my in-laws a house," Christine says. I do not know how Mike can choose my niece over Christine. Christine is much more beautiful than my niece. Her red hair looks like fire under the rays of the late afternoon sun, and her green eyes sparkle like emeralds from the tears. She is a natural beauty with a little bit of speckles on her nose. What am I thinking? I cannot look at a woman who is ten years younger than me. Besides, I don't believe in love anymore. After my ex-wife ran away with my best friend, I don't believe in love anymore. I have learned the hard way that love only hurts. It is something that Christine will have to learn on her own. I cannot help her. I do feel sorry for her, but there is nothing I can say or do to make her feel better. The pain of betrayal is something you have to learn to live with. However, I can help her throw these people out of her house!

"Just tell me what else I need to know?" I ask. Christine looks hesitant, as if she does not want to tell me something. Then she smiles through her tears and looks at me.

"Emma told him that you were the one who arranged for Mike to become the head of the surgical department. Please keep it a secret for now. I will talk to you and my father about it. I have other plans," Christine says.

"I hate it when Emma does that. She always uses my name to get what she wants. In this case, she uses my name to get your husband. My niece needs to be taught a lesson. Okay, let’s go inside. I will kick them out! If they do not want to move, I will call your father and his guards," I say. I do not like to see Christine this pathetic. She is much stronger, especially in the operating theatre. She can handle any crisis under any circumstances, and I don't like to see her this pathetic. She is a strong woman. I know she can take the leadership when performing a very important operation, and she can make it a success. She is one of the best in her field, and I hate to see her this pathetic over a man. She is strong. She is a woman that I admire, and there are not many women that I admire because I think most of them are sly and cunning. They will betray you whenever they can. Maybe I am just judgmental because one hurt me so badly that I am not over her. I don't know if I will ever be able to move forward after her betrayal. Perhaps Christine feels the same way about men as I do about women. We both have been betrayed. We both have been hurt.
