SARA

Alexander scooped Sara into his arms and carried her out of the door. Her face was contorted with pain and fear, her fingers clutching desperately at his shirt. And then they were gone, leaving me standing motionless in the middle of the kitchen, staring at the crimson puddle at my feet.

I couldn't process what had just happened. One moment Sara had been threatening me as she laid claim to Alexander and his future. The next, she was screaming, bleeding and collapsing.

“Ava?” Isabella's gentle touch on my shoulder made me flinch. “Are you alright?”

I nodded mechanically, unable to form words. The kitchen was now filled with people; Blake was hovering uncertainly in the doorway, Charles was already on his phone arranging something and staff appeared with mops and towels.

“Come on,” Isabella said, guided me away from the blood.

I looked down and realized there were droplets of red on my shoes. I let Isabella lead me to a bathroom where she dampened a cloth and handed it to me.

    I massaged my cheeks. “I think my face might be permanently frozen in a smile. Who knew happiness could be this physically exhausting?”Alexander poured some champagne into our glasses and chuckled. “One last toast before we officially end this day?”I clinked my glass against his. “To us. Finally.”“To us.”“Did you see my granny trying to teach your cousin how to do the electric slide this morning? I laughed.“Not as memorable as Cedric face-planting after his fourth whiskey,” Alexander countered.We traded stories and observations from the wedding, decompressing from the intensity of being the center of attention for so many hours.I set my glass down. “I want to check something upstairs real quick.”Alexander raised an eyebrow but nodded. “I’ll lock up down here.”I made my way upstairs, passing the decorators I had hired to decorate our bedroom without Alexander’s knowledge. They were just finishing up.“Thank you guys,” I whispered.They smiled knowingly, tiptoeing out with thei

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 120 To the End of a beginning

    AVAJANUARY 28th“I, Alexander Morrison, take you, Ava Esther Winter, to be my wife. To have and to hold from this day forward…”I could see emotions swimming in his eyes. His hands trembled around mine, and I squeezed them gently in reassurance. We even rewritten our vows three times in the month leading up to the wedding. The first was too formal, then the second too casual. We eventually settled on something that felt uniquely us.“In all the chaos of the past year, you became my true north. Before you, I thought I understood what love was. I was wrong.”A soft ripple of laughter moved through the congregation.My eyes never left his face as he continued to say his vows.When my turn came, I took a deep breath.“I, Ava Winters, take you, Alexander Coker Morrison, to be my husband. To have and to hold from this day forward…”I had worried I would cry and that emotion would overwhelm my ability to speak, but as I stood in front of him there was this strange calm. This moment had been

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 119 Celebrations Delayed, Not Denied

    AVATWO MONTHS LATER“Hurry up!” Alexander shouted from the front door.I called back, “Coming,” adding one more pin to secure my high bun. I gave myself a quick once-over in the mirror, with my navy blue dress, pearl earrings and subtle makeup, before grabbing my purse and hurrying down the stairs.Alexander was tapping his foot even though his mock annoyance couldn't hide the softness in his eyes as he took in my appearance.“You look beautiful. Isabella would approve.”I wiped an invisible dust from his charcoal suit jacket. “So do you. You know how particular she is about dress codes.”It was Isabella’s forty-first birthday today and despite the fact that she still wasn’t awake, Alexander and I decided to celebrate it with her. It would be something she would have wanted…no, something she would want. The doctors have been using words like “persistent vegetati

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 118 The Cost of Silence

    AVAThe hospital room was unnaturally quiet, the only sounds the steady beep of monitors and the muffled activity from the hallway outside. Blake looked different than when I’d last seen him. He looked thin and pale.We stared at each other. Eight years of history culminating in this room.“I heard from Jason that you were awake,” I broke the silence.Blake nodded, his fingers picking absently at the edge of his blanket.“Thank you for coming.”He then looked at me. “I also heard that you came to visit. Before. When I was still…”“I did,” I confirmed. Although not elaborating on that brief, impulsive visit when I’d rushed here thinking he was dead…or was going to die.I moved closer to the bed. “I have questions.”Blake’s eyes dropped to where his legs created small peaks beneath the hospital blanket. “I know.”

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 117 A Table Set For Healing

    A Table Set For HealingAVA“Why didn’t you tell me?” Granny’s voice quavered. Her hands were shaking even as she held on to the newspaper in her lap, where the front-page headline had the news written in bold letters.THE WINTER COUPLE MURDER CASE CLOSED; SUSPECT DIES BEFORE TRIAL.The first and last time I had seen granny in tears was at my parents’ funeral. I never expected that I would see her hurt like this again, especially over a trauma that she had managed to endure for many years.I knelt beside her chair even as tears filled my own eyes.“I was going to tell you, Granny. I swear I was…” I said, gently taking the paper away from her and setting it aside.I sighed. I just…I...I didn't know how..”How could I explain that her daughter and son-in-“law whom she mourned, thinking they died of a mere accident were actually murdered and that I’d been hunting the man responsible. How do I tell her that I'd put myself in danger, even nearly died multiple times all to bring him to just

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 116 Living Among the Lost (2)

    We walked hand in hand through the winding paths of the cemetery, past a couple of other carefully tended gardens around other graves. The grounds were peaceful at this hour because of use mode of the day visitors were gone—not that it would be particularly noisy if they weren’t. But the night was still young enough that we had the place to ourselves.I glanced up at Alexander, noticing the slight furrow between his brows and the distant look in his eyes.“Hey,” I squeezed his hand gently.“Are you okay? Something’s bugging you.”He sighed, but his gaze was still focused on the path ahead of us.“Talk to me,” I said.“I'm thankful you wanted me to meet your parents. It meant a lot to me.”“But?” I prompted.Alexander gestured his free hand around our surroundings.“But being here...the air in this place. It makes me anxious.”We walked a few more steps in silence before he continued.“My mind keeps going to Isabella,” he admitted. His voice was more strained now.“The thought of somed
