One Night With My Fiancé Ruthless Uncle
“Tell me, does my nephew know his fiancee begs this pretty when she's begging for someone else?”
Betrayed on the night she was supposed to celebrate forever, Jennifer Reyes makes one reckless choice, and wakes up in the arms of a man she should never have touched.
Cold, calculating, and dangerously patient, Carter Blackwood isn't just a stranger. He's her fiance's uncle. The one every Kane pretends doesn't exist.
She wants to disappear.
He wants a weapon.
When her father's company teeters on the edge of bankruptcy, Carter offers her a deal she can't refuse: his money, his protection, his name, in exchange for helping him destroy the family that erased him ten years ago.
By day, he's the exiled Kane no one speaks of. By night, he makes it clear exactly who she belongs to now.
Carter believes she said yes for the money. He has no idea that the woman he recruited as a weapon wants Gerald and Sylvia to burn just as badly as he does.
But Carter isn't only after revenge. Buried in Jennifer's past is a secret her late mother died protecting, one that could bury the entire Kane empire, and the only man desperate enough to bury Jennifer with it is the fiance she left behind.
Caught between a fiance who wants her back only to save himself, a mother in law who will do anything to keep the truth buried, and an uncle who refuses to let her go, Jennifer has only one choice left.
Run straight into the arms of the man dangerous enough to protect her from all of them.

Chapter: Chapter Ten : Old Friends, New LiesThe café Sylvia picked was small, tucked away on a side street far from anywhere the Kane family or their circle typically frequented. Jennifer noticed that immediately, filing it away as one more piece of information. Sylvia didn't want to be seen with her. That told Jennifer plenty on its own.She arrived ten minutes early, choosing a table near the back with a clear view of the door, an instinct she hadn't consciously decided on until she was already sitting in it. Carter's voice echoed faintly in her head. Don't underestimate how convincing she can be, even when you already know she's lying.She'd spent the morning going over exactly how she wanted this conversation to go, rehearsing her own composure the way she imagined Carter rehearsed his boardroom negotiations, every response calculated in advance so nothing Sylvia said could catch her off guard. It was strange, she thought, how quickly she'd absorbed that particular skill from him, the ability to walk into a room armored rat

Chapter: Chapter Nine: Dont Insult MeThe text came in while Jennifer was going through the second folder of financial documents Carter had left on the kitchen counter that morning, a stack of numbers and projections she was slowly teaching herself to read fluently.Her phone buzzed against the marble countertop, and she almost ignored it, assuming it was Gerald again, some new variation on the same tired apology he'd been sending in waves since he'd shown up uninvited at the penthouse. But the name on the screen stopped her cold.Sylvia.Jennifer stared at it for a long moment before she made herself open the message.I know I don't deserve to hear from you again. But I miss you, Jen. Can we talk?Something cold and sharp settled in Jennifer's chest, entirely different from the raw, bleeding hurt she'd felt walking in on Gerald and Sylvia together. This was quieter. More calculated. The kind of anger that didn't need to shout to be felt.She read the message three more times, searching for whatever sincerity Sylvia clear

Chapter: Chapter Eight: A Seat At The Table Sylvia hadn't expected the invitation to lunch, least of all from Margaret Kane.The restaurant was the kind of place Sylvia had only ever seen from the outside, all white linen and hushed conversation, the sort of establishment where the prices weren't printed on the menu because anyone who needed to ask couldn't afford to be there. She'd arrived twenty minutes early, unable to help herself, and spent the entire time smoothing the front of her dress, painfully aware of how out of place she felt despite the designer label stitched into the collar, a label she'd charged to a credit card she still hadn't fully paid off.She'd almost turned around twice in the lobby. The last time she'd seen anyone from the Kane family in a setting like this had been the engagement party, the night everything had gone catastrophically, deliciously wrong, and she still wasn't entirely sure whether Margaret knew the full truth of what had happened in that guest room, or simply enough of it to be useful.Ma

Chapter: Chapter Seven: UninvitedThe penthouse looked different in daylight.Jennifer stood in the entryway with a single suitcase at her feet, the same one she'd hastily packed the night before, staring at the floor-to-ceiling windows she'd been pressed against less than forty-eight hours ago. It felt like a different lifetime already, the version of herself who'd walked into a bar looking for oblivion and found this instead."Second door on the left," Carter said, not looking up from the tablet in his hand as he crossed the living room. "It's stocked with whatever the housekeeper thought a woman might need. If it's wrong, tell her, not me.""How thoughtful," Jennifer said dryly, picking up her suitcase."I try."She found the room easily enough, spacious, tastefully neutral, nothing like the stark charcoal walls of the room she'd woken up in that first morning. It didn't feel like his space. It felt, oddly, like a space built specifically to keep her at a careful distance, which she supposed made sense. Whatever th

Chapter: Chapter Six : The Fine Print"I need time," Jennifer said, taking a step back from the desk like distance might somehow slow the spiral of her own thoughts. "This isn't a decision I can make in the next five minutes."Carter's expression didn't shift. "You don't have days, Jennifer. You barely have hours." He tapped a single finger against the folder in front of him, unhurried, utterly certain of himself. "The board convenes tomorrow morning at nine. If I don't have your answer by then, I withdraw the offer entirely, and I move on to something that doesn't come with quite so many complications.""Complications," she repeated bitterly. "Is that what you're calling this?""I'm calling it what it is." He rose from behind the desk, closing some of the distance between them, his voice dropping into something quieter, harder to argue with. "Your father's company has thirty-one days of operating capital left. Thirty-one days, Jennifer. After that, there's no severance, no soft landing, nothing. Just a building full of p

Chapter: Chapter Five: His Price"Miss Reyes."Jennifer stood rooted to the spot as Carter crossed the room toward her, a polite, professional smile fixed on his face like he'd never once had his hands on her, like he hadn't spent the morning taunting her about exactly how many ways he could make her come. He extended a hand toward her father. "It's good to finally put a face to the company. I've been reviewing your numbers all morning."She couldn't say a word. Her lips wouldn't move, her brain caught somewhere between fury and disbelief. Was this some kind of sick joke? Carter Blackwood, standing in her father's office in a tailored suit, discussing balance sheets like a completely different person than the one who'd had her pinned against a window twelve hours ago.Her father, oblivious, shook Carter's hand warmly. "Jennifer, this is Mr. Blackwood. He's agreed to review our books personally before making a final decision.""We've actually met," Carter said smoothly, before she could decide whether to correct him.
