My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 131
Autumn spent the next few days buried in deep-dive research with her team, rounding up their share of the first phase. She had personally dug into Epic Industries, searching for any thread that might connect the dead company to their current project. But all she found was the same surface-level corporate history Eric had already detailed.Despite the team’s growing curiosity, Autumn stood firm. She refused to get them involved in what felt like a personal investigation. She wasn't about to tarnish the department’s name over minor office gossip or old rivalries. She wanted their work to be clean, professional, and final.When the last file was attached and the "Send" button clicked, a collective sigh of relief filled the conference room.“Whoo-hoo!” someone cheered, collapsing back into their chair.“With this, we are officially done with Phase One,” Autumn said, her eyes finally moving from her laptop to the exhausted faces around the table.“Can’t we go out and celebrate?” a junior a

Autumn returned to work on Monday feeling more blissful than she had in days. The weekend spent with Eric, away from the prying eyes of the family and the suffocating pressure of work, had left her at peace.“Someone clearly had a great weekend,” a colleague noted, catching the uncharacteristic softness in her expression as she walked through the doors.“It was the weekend. Obviously, I’m rested,” Autumn replied, her tone professional but light as she addressed the nosy staffer. “Didn’t everyone else feel the same?” A chorus of mild, hesitant agreements followed, which was exactly the shield she needed to get back to her desk.“Good job on securing that land-use permit, by the way,” Rosalie, a senior team member, said as she leaned against Autumn’s cubicle. “How did you actually manage it? The Department of Planning is hard to get an appointment.”Autumn saw the bait for what it was. She was no stranger to the office gossip, and she wasn't about t

Sebastian twirled the amber liquid in his glass, watching the ice clink against the crystal as he stared out at the sea of stars. His mind was a tangled mess of emotions that he couldn't quite pin down, but one feeling remained constant: a burning, localized passion for destruction.He hated the flicker of softness he felt whenever he was around Autumn. He had spent the last twenty-four hours reciting a mantra to drown out his conscience: ‘She is a Kingston. By blood or by marriage, she is guilty by proximity.’ He had convinced himself that she was just as flawed as the rest of them, yet a heavy, suffocating sensation settled in his chest whenever he thought about the water she had swallowed.‘Is this guilt?’ he asked himself, his grip tightening on the glass. He buried the thought deep. ‘No. She just a collateral of justice. They all are.’“Report,” he commanded, his voice cold and detached, echoing through the stark luxury of his living room.“S
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 128
It was another weekend, and the mansion felt cavernous and quiet. The extended family had finally packed their bags and returned to their respective homes, leaving the estate to its familiar, echoing peace.Autumn, the lady of the manor, lay tangled in her silk sheets. The adrenaline of the compliance crisis and the strange pains from the day before were fading into the fog of memory. She had dropped herself unceremoniously onto the mattress the night before, wrapping herself in the duvet like a burrito, seeking the comfort of oblivion.A knock echoed through the room, sharp and persistent.‘Knock. Knock.’She squeezed her eyes shut, trying to force her brain back into sleep, but the intruder was relentless. With a groan of pure frustration, she rolled out of bed. She was ready to give whoever was on the other side a piece of her mind.Swinging the door open, she was met with Eric. He was dressed casually, a soft smile on his face that sl

Autumn stood up to toss the silk-wrapped takeout container into the bin. ‘That was delicious,’ she thought, patting her belly contentedly before sitting back down to resume her work. She picked up exactly where she had left off before the team had called her to fix the compliance disaster. The silence was shattered as Sebastian burst into the office. He was breathing heavily, his chest heaving as if he had just run a marathon. He hunched over, hands on his knees, gasping for air as he tried to regulate his racing heart. “What happened to you?” Autumn asked, startled by his disheveled state. “I ran... as fast as I could... when I heard about the crisis,” he panted, moving unsteadily toward a chair. “Well, the crisis has been handled,” she said, her eyes still fixed on him with a mix of concern and amusement. “I know that. Liam told me,” Sebastian said, throwing his head back against the headrest and covering his eyes with one hand. “I rushed over the second I saw the missed calls.

Sebastian leaned over, placing a searing kiss on Chloe’s lips. He could feel the heat of the afternoon sun, but it was nothing compared to the possessive thrill he felt whenever she was near.“Sebastian, stop that! We’re outside,” Chloe said, swatting him away playfully. She glanced nervously at the few people walking nearby, her cheeks flushed with embarrassment.“Why? Can’t I kiss the most beautiful girl here?” He leaned in again, persistent. Chloe ducked away this time, her laughter echoing through the trees.“There are people watching, Seb. I don’t need a family meeting assembled just because someone saw us,” she explained, smoothing her hair.Sebastian straightened up, a flicker of annoyance crossing his face before he masked it with a grin. “What’s the big idea? Your entire family knows we’re dating anyway.”“It’s just… I’m not used to all of this, okay?” she said, sounding exasperated.“Well, you should get used to it.” Sebastian threw a heavy arm over her shoulder, pulling her

"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
