Autumn woke up earlier than usual today. She had a mission, and that mission complied with finding out more information regarding Miranda’s will. She had already located the firm that handled it: Barnaby & Associates.

She had requested the morning off to attend to this, dedicating more of her time to finding out the reason for this. All of this she wanted to uncover was the truth behind Miranda. This was something she couldn’t put off for long. It was something she had tried to avoid, but it fe

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 209: Gusty’s Breakout

    Autumn’s modest apartment was decorated to the nines as a way of marking the upcoming year. Balloons and streamers hung from every corner.“Don’t you think you guys overdid it with the decorations?” Autumn asked, turning to face Gusty, who was mixing a questionable beverage.“Nonsense. It’s only befitting. We have to celebrate the year’s end in grand style,” he waved her off. She just giggled at his explanation.“You’re right,” she said, taking a sip of her drink. “Do you think it’s okay for you two to spend New Year’s Eve with me instead of your families?”“It’s fine. They had us for Christmas. I’m sure New Year’s will be cool. Mine already know I’m spending it with friends. It’s Ezra’s family that has the problem — you should be more worried about him.” Gusty tilted his head toward Ezra, who was in the middle of a heated phone conversation. A moment later, Ezra walked over to them.“Mom, me not being there wouldn’t be the end of the world,” he said into the phone. “I know it’s impor

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 208: The Departure Trap

    The spell of illusion that had been cast over the entire estate for the past few days was put to an abrupt halt.The once glamorous and lively atmosphere came to a stop, just like a veil being lifted to reveal the ugly truth underneath. The time she had spent with them was over.Just like Cinderella, everything had to return to the way it was. The borrowed time had run out. The coachman and carriage had turned back into mice and a pumpkin. The only difference was that she wasn’t returning home as a pauper — she was still a wealthy woman.She was in her room packing the few belongings she had brought with her, while Finn sat by her side with a frown on his face. A near-perfect mirror of his father’s.*He’s becoming more like him every single day,* she thought, stealing a secret glance at his face.His eyes were moist from holding back tears, and his nose was already turning red. She crouched down in front of him.“Hey, love,” she said softly, threading her fingers through his hair. “I’

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 207: Christmas Morning Drama

    It was Christmas morning, and the house was filled to the brim with festive cheer. The day could be felt everywhere as the servants hustled up and down, making sure the final arrangements were complete.Despite how busy they were, nothing dampened their mood. The holiday spirit filled every corner of the house.The sound of commotion from outside pulled Autumn from her sleep. Her eyes dropped to the smaller figure nestled against her side, pressed close to her chest.His breathing was soft and even as he continued to sleep, completely vulnerable to the world. She reached out and gently caressed his soft cheek, her fingers drifting from his cheek to his nose, then his lips, before brushing the hair away from his forehead.Her gaze drifted toward the open window, taking in the sight of the snow-covered world outside — a white blanket stretching as far as she could see.“Mommy.” Finn’s sleepy murmur pulled her attention back.She leaned closer and nuzzled him. “Yes, my beautiful boy,” sh

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 206: Christmas Eve

    Autumn stepped out of the taxi with a bag of gifts in one hand and another bag for the night filled with clothes and toiletries. It was already Christmas Eve — the day before Christmas — and dark outside by the time she arrived.As per the agreement she and Eric had made, he was supposed to text her the details of when and where she would spend Christmas with their son. He had specifically agreed to let her spend it with them, most likely to give Finn the illusion of a unified family, or at least a semblance of one.But who was she to complain? She had time with her child. There was nothing else she could ask for.The house was decorated with strings of green, red, blue, and white lights — a multi-coloured display of festivity. Even before stepping inside the estate, the joy of the season could be felt from a distance. The darkness of the sky only made the lights shine brighter.She was greeted at the door, assisted, and ushered inside to sit.The living room was decked out in all its

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 205: Re-entering Sebastian’s Orbit

    “So how was it?” Ezra asked. His hand never left the steering wheel as he drove, though his gaze flicked to her for a brief moment before returning to the road. “It went fine,” she answered, giving him only the watered-down version. “Did he put up a fight with you—” he started, but she cut him off. “No.” “Wait. He just handed your child over without any struggle? No threats, nothing at all?” he asked again, clarifying. She shook her head gently. “Nothing of that sort.” “Damn. I misjudged your husband then,” he chuckled to himself. Autumn’s face remained blank. She had deliberately concealed the rest of their interaction — the agreement and the deed transfer. *I don’t need anyone telling me ‘I told you so.’* “Sorry — ex-husband,” he laughed again at his own joke. “You still seem so infatuated with him.”

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 204

    The irony of the entire situation wasn’t lost on her. It was just like a few weeks ago, but this time the circumstances were completely different.Autumn sat on the plush leather seat with her legs crossed, staring into space. Her mind kept replaying everything. The beverage she had been served stood untouched.She honestly thought this was still about the miscarriage. That everything he had done up to this moment was his way of punishing her for her recklessness — for hurting the baby and causing the loss.A foolish part of her still clung to the illusion that he loved her. That this was just him venting his anger. She had believed that if she absorbed it long enough, he would eventually forgive her. That he would try to make amends, and they could rebuild their relationship from the ground up this time — instead of jumping straight into marriage the way they had before.She had even compared this to how he reacted when he first found out about Finn’s parentage. But this time was not

    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

    ​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

    I asked a passing maid where Eric was, and she directed me toward the sunroom. I walked off, giving my thanks before she could even finish speaking. How dare he treat me in such a manner? I am not a child he can simply restrict from going out; I am a grown woman, and my son’s life is currently at r
