Eric’s POV

“Thank you, Eric, for spending the entire day with me,” Sophia chirped beside him as they sat in the backseat. Outside, the world was a blur; the car skidded on the road, leaving nothing but dust and dirt in its wake as the drive pushed forward.

“It’s nothing,” Eric replied back indifferently. He didn't even look at her, his gaze fixed firmly on the window, brushing off her gratitude like it was a minor inconvenience.

“Of course it’s something,” she said, her voice dropping as she fe

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 222: The Outside Alarm

    Downstairs.Marcus strode through the doors with two bags of takeout in hand, both containing the exact orders Autumn had specifically asked for. The food orders were complex and had taken a decent amount of time to prepare. He had been worried she would be starving, which was why he had hurried back, sweating through his clothes and panting. The cool air-conditioning helped in regulating his body temperature.The main reason he put himself through this task wasn’t because of the respectable position Autumn now held. No. It was majorly due to who she had been married to.Eric.He feared him more than even his own bosses. A man who would casually hand out over ten thousand pounds just because someone had helped his wife and made her happy. Eric wasn’t somebody to fuck around with. From the way he had showered Autumn with attention and money, Marcus recognised him as someone he really shouldn’t cross — and by extension, neither should he cross Autumn.That was exactly why he was current

    "You never do, do you?” he said, stepping inside and closing the door, plunging the room into utter darkness.“Sebastian,” she uttered in disbelief. His appearance still shocked her. She had expected Marcus, but Sebastian was a completely different story. He wouldn’t be as lenient with her as he had been the first time.“Surprised to see me?” he mocked, his voice carrying across the room and echoing in the space. “Were you expecting little old Marcus, the one you deceived to get in here?”She stood up the moment she heard his voice draw closer, accidentally knocking the chair to the ground. Her eyes darted around frantically, trying to pinpoint exactly where he was, but she couldn’t find him. The only thing she knew for certain was that he was in this room with her.“It’s quite funny how easy it was for me to do this,” he continued. “I knew you were up to something the moment you picked Nexus Corp over the others.” He let out a tsk.Autumn backed away from the desk, desperately trying

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 220: Caught Red-Handed

    Autumn stood in front of the door, her hands shaking as she took in the scene before her.Her nerves were eating at her. Breaking into Sebastian’s office was a completely different matter. With Nigel, he hadn’t pressed charges because he still had business with Eric. But with Sebastian, it was an entirely different story. He wouldn’t hesitate to lock her up just to remove an obstacle from whatever plans he had for the Kingstons.Killing her wouldn’t be enough — he would make sure she was no longer a burden to him in any way.“Get it together, Autumn. You can do this,” she whispered to herself, gripping her hands tightly after noticing them tremble.She was terrified. Sebastian struck fear into her heart even when he wasn’t around.She turned to the keypad in front of her and inputted the code she remembered — the one she had seen him enter countless times: **3812155**.The door pinged, the light changing from red to green, then unlocked.She turned the knob, opening the door just a cr

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 219: Stealing the Moment

    She stood outside Nexus Corp headquarters, her feet planted firmly in place.Looking at the building that had started her career — and also the place where she had taken a nosedive into the chaos that began all of this — a complicated mix of emotions rose in her chest.This place held more distant, bitter memories for her than good ones. If it were up to her, she wouldn’t step foot inside again. But she couldn’t walk away. She wouldn’t be able to live with herself if she let go of an opportunity like this. Where else would she get the chance to get this close to Sebastian again?Taking a deep breath, she walked inside and greeted the receptionist with a polite smile.“Autumn Martins. Here for the ministry review,” she said calmly, even though her heart was anything but calm.“Right, of course.” The receptionist typed a few keys, then took out her cellphone and dialled someone. She spoke in a hushed tone, stealing glances at Autumn. “Someone will be right with you.” after hanging up.A

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 218: Decoy Ledger

    The rhythmic sound of tapping was the only thing that could be heard throughout the entire room.Gusty’s eyes were focused on the computer screen. He had not stopped working, his mind consumed by one thing alone — payback for the mishap from a few days ago. Payback for the failure he had shown in front of his two friends.“Damn amateurs, thinking they could stop me with this weak-ass defence,” he gloated to himself, his focus locked on a single goal.“You shouldn’t leave your back door wide open for people to get in through it,” he taunted once more.The back door he had used was a secondary server left unattended by Nexus Corp. He had been consumed by guilt over the previous failed attempt. He had tried to find a way into the main server, but it was airtight. He couldn’t bypass it so easily, so he had settled for this secondary one instead.Just as he had told Autumn, he needed to be prepared before hacking something like this. He hadn’t realised it wouldn’t be as easy as his usual j

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 217: Ruthless Shut Down

    “—and that would be it, Eric.”Eric sat behind his desk, his phone tucked between his fingertips as he spoke to the person on the other end.“Is that all, Nigel?” he asked, his voice a low murmur. He used the same distant tone he used with everyone else.“Yes, but don’t you want to ask about anything concerning your wife’s—” Nigel coughed lightly, “—apologies, ex-wife’s case?” he corrected himself.“No. I have no business with it. Just follow through and make sure it’s favourable on our end,” Eric spoke coldly. The truth was, he was still annoyed over the events from two nights ago.How she had treated him so coldly and dismissed his inquiries. Yes, they were divorced, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t be bothered by her being around other men — especially Ezra, and worse, Thorne.Whoever she was with would eventually interact with their child. He told himself he only wanted to inquire about her budding relationships because of their son. It was all for Finn’s sake.That was what he ha

    Autumn POVI sat down on the sofa, staring at the TV. A broadcast of an interview was playing on the screen, the bright lights of the television reflecting in my eyes. The words being said echoed in the vast, space of the living room. It felt like the house was too big now, especially with the

    We had finally returned home after spending three grueling days at the hospital. The sterile smell of antiseptic seemed to have seeped into my skin, and the constant beep of monitors still echoed in my ears. Finn was much better, his laughter returning as we walked through the front doors of the es

    The ride back to the hotel was quiet, but the air was different. The tension had shifted from anger to something much more potent. When we stepped into the hotel room, the city lights of Milan were sparkling through the windows, but all I could see was Eric.He closed the door behind us, locking it

    The light from the morning sun blinded my eyes, forcing me to squint as I woke up in an unfamiliar room. For a split second, I panicked, my heart racing as I tried to remember where I was. Then, the events of last night crashed into my mind. I buried my face in the silk pillows, blushing at the mem
