I had finished showering, scrubbing my skin until it was raw, as if I could wash away the events of the evening. The scent of the expensive perfume I had worn for the party swirled down the drain, replaced by the scent of my own soap, but the anxiety remained clinging to me like a second skin. I changed into a set of soft, worn loungewear, but it offered no comfort.

My mind was racing, hitting a million miles an hour. I knew exactly why Eric had asked me to meet him in his study. I knew it wasn

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 303

    The day had started with its usual routine. Since it was her day off, Autumn decided to take advantage of it by doing something other than work.She changed out of her clothes into something more suitable for running and left just before dawn, before the city got busy. Only a few people were outside as she passed by.“That was a good run,” she said, trying to catch her breath. She reached for her water bottle when something caught her eye. She looked closer and scowled at the image before continuing her run past it.It was a tabloid still running a segment on Eric and her public appearance from a two days ago.*Thankfully Doris isn’t really a social media person,* she thought, remembering the whole issue she had faced the morning after. Multiple news outlets had covered them.“Bunch of gossips,” she muttered. Thankfully she wasn’t that close to her other coworkers for them to put two and two together.Once she got home, she prepared for the next part of her day and reached for her pho

    “How can you afford such an expensive dress, Autumn, on a civil servant’s salary?” Eleanor pressed.Autumn could only grit her teeth in anger.“Eleanor—”“Mother, I bought the dress for Autumn,” Chloe cut in, trying to salvage the situation and get them out of there.“Chloe, my dear, you are too kind.” Eleanor placed a gentle hand on Chloe’s cheek. “Kindness like yours makes you vulnerable to the malicious thoughts of others.”Autumn rolled her eyes.“You shouldn’t allow such people to feed on your naivety.” Eleanor’s eyes flickered toward Autumn, who rolled her eyes again.“What Chloe does with her own money is none of your business,” Autumn said, growing tired of remaining civil for the sake of peace. “She is a grown woman who can make her own decisions.”“I am her mother. I know what’s best for her,” Eleanor argued.“You sure act like you are,” Autumn whispered sarcastically, just loud enough for only Chloe to hear.Eleanor’s face was already turning red. “You’re right. I don’t act

    Autumn stepped out of her bedroom wearing a cream-coloured slip dress paired with gold high heels.“Wow,” Anita exclaimed, dropping the dish towel in her hand. “You look gorgeous.”Autumn blushed shyly at the compliment. “I’m not giving you a raise with that honey-comb mouth of yours,” she replied playfully as she checked her appearance once more in the mirror.“I’ll be okay,” Anita said, biting her lip to stop herself from laughing. “I’ll settle for seeing my beautiful boss’s face every day.”That drew a genuine laugh from Autumn as she picked up her purse and headed downstairs. She had already received notice that the car was waiting.She opened the door. “Sorry for keeping you waiting, Loe,” she greeted.“It’s no problem,” Chloe answered, taking in Autumn’s appearance. “You look great. Where did you buy the dress? It looks amazing on you.”Autumn’s gaze drifted for a moment as she remembered the events from a few days ago.---(Flashback)“Your sister sent an invitation to my offic

    Autumn arrived at work still irritated by her earlier interaction with Eric.*Who the hell does he think he is?* she thought as she signed her name on the attendance sheet.Her mind drifted back to that morning, the feeling of being in his arms again. It felt… wonderful. She couldn’t deny it. Being with him had always felt that way. The problem was everything that came with it.“Damn it, why?” she muttered, clenching her fist so tightly the pen dug into her skin.She knew this was a dangerous game. Unlike him, intimacy wasn’t just physical for her. There were feelings involved, feelings she couldn’t simply turn off. Every time she was near him, those emotions resurfaced no matter how hard she tried to bury them.*Maybe it’s because he was my first,* she thought with a quiet sigh as she walked toward the elevator.She refused to let him get under her skin today.*Today is going to be a good day,* she told herself as the e

    Sophia didn’t know how she managed it, but by some small miracle she was back in her own home.She walked inside just as the first light of dawn touched the streets of London. The city was only beginning to wake up.The security team had dropped her off near downtown with nothing but her cellphone, the empty shoulder bag, and the destroyed remains of her camera.She stepped into her apartment quietly, hoping none of her neighbours would see her. Even if they did, she no longer cared. Dignity felt meaningless now.She barely made it past the doorway. The moment the door shut behind her, her legs gave out. She slid down the wall until she was sitting on the floor.Fresh tears, ones she didn’t even know she still had rolled down her cheeks, mixing with the dried mud still caked on her face.“Next time you try this, I will make sure you disappear.”Eric’s words echoed in her head over and over. She had seen that cold ruthle

    The long night had finally come to an end. The evidence of the previous day’s events had already been cleared away at least for most people.Autumn lay nestled in a warm embrace. The heat radiating from the body behind her slowly eased the tension in her muscles and pulled her back toward sleep.She was still feeling melancholic over the discovery from the day before. She couldn’t fully process everything Eric had put her through. Part of her wanted nothing more than to swing her fist into his face, but she held herself back.*Violence is never the answer.**Bastard made me drown in depression when he knew the entire time that it was his fault,* she thought bitterly before forcing herself to close her eyes again. Her mind was already working on how she could use this new information to her advantage.Her eyes eventually fluttered open. She stared at the fogged-up window with disinterest.*After the day I had yesterday, I deserve

    It had been two days since the wedding fiasco. Two days of radio silence from the outside world.While the media was undoubtedly setting itself on fire—speculating about Chloe, Fin, and Kingston Dynasty—we had been tucked away in the safety of the Headinberg estate. Eric had decided to work from ho

    The morning sun filtered through the high windows of the estate, casting long, golden rectangles across the breakfast table. It was the first morning since the hospital that the air felt light. "Chloe, this will help you feel better," I said, gently setting down a bowl of special steaming porridge

    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
