I had secluded myself in a shadowed corner of the grand ballroom, tucked away behind a decorative marble pillar where the light didn't hit quite so brightly. I didn't want to interact with anyone else tonight; my skin crawled just being in the same airspace as these people—lying, deceitful socialites who were nothing more than overgrown children who had never heard the word 'no' in their entire pampered lives.

As I watched the crowd from my hiding spot, I recognized the faces. Most of these wom

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 284

    "It’s so quiet,” she mused to herself, pulling the blanket higher until it covered her up to her chin. The silence was something she hadn’t been used to for the past couple of days. Her apartment had mostly been filled with the energetic noise of her very active child. Her eyes gently fluttered closed as sleep began to welcome her. Through the dream-like haze, she heard the distinct sound of her front door opening and closing, followed by footsteps. “Must be Anita,” she murmured, too tired to fully wake up. “There you are.” Eric’s voice cut through the room. Her eyes snapped open. He stood a few feet away, and the moment she registered him, annoyance settled clearly on her face. She turned to glare at him. “What are you doing in my house?” “We came to see you,” he answered, smirking at her feeble attempt to intimidate him. “We?” she as

    The sound of the alarm woke her up. She reached over to snooze it, then carefully untangled herself from his arm.It wasn’t as difficult as she expected. She slipped on a robe and left the room, heading into Fin’s to get him ready for school — just as she had done for the past couple of days.It already felt like second nature. Once she finished preparing him, she returned to her bathroom to wash up.She splashed cold water on her face and immediately felt a familiar presence behind her.“Good morning,” Eric murmured, his voice still rough with sleep as he buried his face against her shoulder, both arms wrapping around her waist.“Get dressed. You’re taking Fin to school,” she ordered, trying to slip past him.“What, no good morning?” He leaned down and pressed a soft kiss to her lips. “You’re being so cruel,” he teased playfully before finally letting her go.She returned to Fin’s room and packed his overnight bag — clo

    It was already late at night. The apartment was silent aside from the occasional clicking of her keyboard.It had been a few days since that fateful night.“He’ll be back tomorrow,” she murmured, glancing at the date on her laptop.Her thoughts drifted back to the conversation from a few days ago.“About my theory before your ex interrupted me—”“Gus, I think I made a terrible mistake,” she had cut him off.“Okay… what are you talking about?” he asked. “Is it regarding work?”“No. It’s regarding Eric.”“What did you do?” Worry edged into his voice. “Don’t tell me you did something stupid.”“I did,” she admitted.“What are you going to do?” he asked, already understanding what she meant.“I already took the morning-after pill,” she said quietly. “He bought it for me.”“At least he’s not a complete asshole,” Gus muttered. “This is for the best. A child is the last thing either o

    She helped fin put on his school uniform along with his school shoe, she was on her knees focused intently on the task at hand. “Mommy” he called out to her, she hummed in response, “where is daddy?” He asked swinging his legs as sge dropped it down. “Your father went on a business trip” she answered standing up, taking his hand with her “he will be away for a few days,so you are spending it with me” she lifted him on the barstool as she prepared his breakfast. She watched him eat silently observing him, her mind went back to Eric and this morning and last night. “-mommy” he yelled pulling her out her thoughts. “Sorry my love, i got lost in thought” she replied trying to gain control, “what is it?” “I am done,” he pushed the empty towards her, she stood up placing him on the ground. “go Sit down and don't go anywhere else” she instructed him, placing the empty dish in the sink. She walked into her bedroo

    He stepped out into the crisp, cool morning air, the residue from the long night of rain still lingering.His eyes scanned the street until he found his car parked by the curb. He got in, hands firm on the steering wheel, and started the drive home.His gaze flicked once toward her building — toward her window — before he forced his eyes back to the road.The drive was quiet, just the way he preferred it. It gave him space to think about everything that had happened last night.“Last night…”At the mere thought, his pants tightened involuntarily. He parked, got out quickly, and walked with purposeful steps.“Uncle.” Chloe’s voice called out to him. He turned his head slightly, acknowledging her. “The maids said you took Fin out with you last night.” She swallowed. “Where is he? They need to get him ready for school.”Eric fixed her with a passive stare. Ever since the office break-in, he had been slightly colder toward her.“He’s fine,” he answered, continuing past her. “He’s with his

    Eric’s eyes fluttered open. He was the first to wake, mostly from the draft of cool air washing over his bare skin.His gaze drifted toward the ceiling as he took in his surroundings with furrowed brows. “Where am I—”He was silenced by the weight of the body beside him. Memories from the previous night returned in a rush — the passionate lovemaking that had lasted until the early hours of the morning, her gasps and soft whines, her pleas for him to stop while the rain poured outside as a backdrop.He looked down at her body, riddled with bite marks — clear signs of his claim and possession.His hand instinctively returned to her waist, drawing her closer before he climbed on top of her.He pressed his lips to hers, forcing his tongue past the narrow gap. She moaned into his mouth, gasping when the kiss deepened too much.He left open-mouthed kisses as he travelled lower, kissing and biting his way down her body until he stopped between her legs. He pressed a soft kiss to the top of h

    ​Silence overtook the entire garden. It was a heavy, suffocating silence, the kind that usually precedes a natural disaster. The birds seemed to stop singing; even the wind died down, as if nature itself was holding its breath to witness the carnage.​"Rebecca, how dare you say such things at a ti

    "Are you alright?"I heard Eric’s voice, low and rumbling, but it sounded like it was coming from underwater. My mind was somewhere else, replaying the look of pure hatred on Chloe’s face. The slamming door echoed in my ears, louder than any thunder.How could I lose the one most important person i

    The " Neon Light" motel she described was even grimmer up close. It was nearly midnight by the time Eric’s tires screeched into the cracked asphalt lot. The place looked like it had seen better days decades ago; now, it was just a graveyard for broken dreams and people who were hiding from life and

    We talked late into the night, the television long since forgotten. The conversation had drifted from the disaster of the wedding to safer, quieter topics—Finn’s new school, the security protocols for the house, the logistics of living under siege. I yawned, a jaw-cracking sound that I couldn't su
