Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle
It was meant to be the happiest night of Layla’s life—her eighteenth birthday, the moment she officially stepped into adulthood.
Instead, she walked into a crowded nightclub and watched her boyfriend laugh, drink, and kiss another girl while the world looked on.
Humiliation followed swiftly. Dragged into a cruel game of Truth or Dare, Layla became the night’s entertainment. When the bottle landed on her, the challenge sounded harmless enough: seven minutes in heaven with a man of her choice.
Everyone expected her to choose him.
She didn’t.
Her gaze went to the man watching silently from the shadows—his uncle. The one man she was never supposed to want, yet couldn’t look away from.
Seven minutes was all it took to spark something forbidden. Something dark. Something that refused to stay contained.
When the night ended, nothing returned to normal. He became her obsession and most dangerous temptation. And Layla found herself willing to risk everything—family, reputation, even her own heart—for a man she was never meant to desire.
This is a story of betrayal, passion, and the pull of a love that should never exist.
Once caught in it, there is no turning back.

Chapter: Stay AwayBy Monday morning, Oakridge High no longer felt like a school.It felt like a courtroom where the verdict had already been decided. Layla felt it the moment she stepped onto campus—the way conversations faltered and restarted in whispers, the way eyes tracked her movement with thinly veiled curiosity. Phones dipped and lifted again, recording nothing and everything all at once. The video had spread faster than the truth ever could. Chloe stayed glued to her side, her shoulder brushing Layla’s protectively as they moved through the hallway. “Eyes forward,” Chloe muttered. “Breathe and let them choke on their curiosity.” Layla tried. She really did but every teacher’s gaze lingered a second too long, every smile felt sharpened by judgment. Even people she’d known for years looked at her differently now—as if she’d crossed an invisible line and couldn’t step back. Visible eyes of mockery followed her till dismissal. When the final bell echoed through Oakridge High. It echoed like a

Chapter: CravingLayla stared at her phone from the edge of the bed, her back straight, her hands clenched so tightly in her lap that her fingers ached. The room felt smaller now as the walls closed in with every vibration of the device. She didn’t need to look at the screen because she already knew but still, the name flashed anyway.Liam.Her stomach twisted—not with longing, not with regret—but with a sharp, familiar dread. The kind that settled deep in her bones and refused to leave, no matter how much time passed. Her phone rang once more and then again.Finally, with a breath that felt scraped raw from her lungs, she answered.“Why aren’t you here?” Liam demanded the moment the call connected.“I’m not coming,” Layla said as she closed her eyes.The silence on the other end stretched, long and heavy, like a held breath before impact.“What do you mean you’re not coming?” he asked slowly, his voice dropping into something colder.“What I mean by that is that I'm not coming means I'm not coming,”

Chapter: Eighteen and a messThe sunlight that seeped through Layla’s blinds felt less like morning and more like punishment, thin blades of gold slicing through the dark refuge she had tried—and failed—to hide in. She didn’t wake all at once. Instead, a warm breath brushed her cheek first—soft, insistent—followed by a wet nose nudging beneath her jaw. A small weight shifted against her chest, then a sudden, unapologetic lick dragged across her face.Layla groaned faintly and turned her head, half-asleep irritation bubbling up before memory could catch her.“Okay, okay,” she murmured hoarsely, eyes still closed. “I’m up.”Another lick landed on her cheek, more enthusiastic this time and her eyes fluttered open.Brown eyes stared back at her wide and loyal,tail thumping faintly against the mattress like it was the best morning in the world. Milo. Her family’s dog,too small to be intimidating, too affectionate to understand boundaries, and apparently determined to wake her whether she was ready or not.Layla let

Chapter: RegretThe knock came hard and sharp—three strikes that cut clean through the silence.Elias didn’t flinch.He was already on his feet before the third knock landed. He reached the door and opened it just enough to reveal himself. And there stood Liam.The music from the club thudded faintly down the hallway behind him, but the moment his eyes met Elias’s, the bravado drained from his posture. His shoulders stiffened as fear flickered quickly and instinctively. He feared Elias just like everyone that even his name brought chills to his spine. “What do you want?” Elias asked calmly. Liam swallowed. “I—I’m looking for Layla.” Elias’s gaze sharpened by a fraction. “She’s resting.” Something dark twisted in Liam’s expression. “Resting?” he repeated, disbelief lacing his tone. He tried to peer past Elias’s shoulder.Elias didn’t move aside—but Liam saw her anyway. Layla lay on the bed, turned slightly on her side, hair fanned across the pillow, chest rising and falling slowly and peaceful,un

Chapter: “Yes sir.”The words landed like a gunshot and silence crashed over the group as her finger rose—steady, unflinching—and pointed straight into the shadows.Toward him.Shock rippled outward. Liam straightened abruptly, disbelief etched across his face. Chloe gasped softly as the girl at the bar stared with her mouth falling open.The man didn’t move and for a long moment, he simply studied Layla—measuring, assessing—before one corner of his mouth curved into something that wasn’t quite a smile.No one laughed at first.They stared—frozen—as Layla pointed past her boyfriend and chose the man instead.Then the silence shattered into gasps, whistles, and cheers that tasted like scandal.“Isn’t that her boyfriend's uncle?”“Isn't that Liam's uncle?”“That’s Mr.Elias.”Whispers filled the air and then cheers.“Do it.”“Go on.”Chloe turned to her.“Layla… are you sure?” she whispered, eyes wide with disbelief.Layla didn’t answer. She was already walking toward the man in the shadows—the one who hadn’

Chapter: Truth or dareOn the night Layla turned eighteen, she learned two things: betrayal stings worse when it’s public, and desire doesn’t care about rules. What began as a harmless birthday celebration ended with a single reckless choice—one that crossed lines, shattered loyalties, and bound her to the one man she was never supposed to want. Seven minutes was all it took to change everything.NIGHT CLUB The bass from the speakers slammed through the nightclub, vibrating the floor and rattling the walls of The Velvet Serpent. Red and purple neon lights sliced across the packed room, flashing over bodies pressed together, sweat-slick skin, polished leather, and glittering heels. Smoke curled lazily through the air, carrying the sharp mix of perfume, alcohol, and something darker—something dangerous.Tonight was supposed to matter.Layla stood near the edge of the dance floor, fingers curled around the thin strap of her shimmering top as nerves fluttered low in her stomach. Eighteen. Officially an adult.
