The day after the gala, the Headinberg estate was enveloped in a deceptive quiet. The morning sun filtered through the high windows, but the atmosphere inside was thick with the aftermath of the previous night’s revelations. In the morning room, the large television was tuned to the entertainment news, the volume just high enough to fill the silence.

"In entertainment news, London’s most eligible bachelor is officially off the market," the newscaster announced, her voice chirpy against the back

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 224: Forced Compromise

    His grip was tight and biting as he dragged her toward the covered window. All the way there, she kept struggling, trying to break free from his grasp, but he only let out a cruel laugh at her attempts.“Why are you resisting, Autumn?” He tugged at her sleeve. “Nobody is coming to rescue you. You are trapped in here with me.”She used whatever strength she could muster and struck his hand, desperately trying to free herself. But it was no use. Sebastian’s grip was tight and unforgiving.He dragged her with him as he uncovered the curtains, moving them aside with one hand. He was about to unlatch the lock when a ringing sound stopped him.His head snapped toward her — more precisely, toward her body.“What do you have with you?” He halted his movement and returned his full attention to her. His hands moved over her coat, trying to unearth whatever she had hidden underneath.The ringing continued. She struggled as he patted her down. *I can’t let him find it. It’s the only way Gus and E

    “You gotta stop pestering her like that,” Gusty said, taking a seat and offering him a can of beer.The aftermath of his disagreement with Autumn still left him shaken. He had taken refuge with Gus just to cool his head.“I’m not pestering her,” he bit back. To him, his actions weren’t pestering. They came from a place of care. He cared deeply about her and couldn’t stand the thought of something bad happening to her.*I just want to protect her. Is that so wrong?* An image of Autumn’s genuine smile flashed in his mind.“I just want to protect her. Is that so wrong?” he repeated out loud.“Wanting to protect someone isn’t wrong,” Gusty replied, taking a sip of his beer. “But if the person doesn’t need it and has already told you multiple times, it starts to feel like smothering.”Ezra frowned at his words. Another thought bloomed in his head.“But she didn’t say ‘smother.’ She used the word ‘control,’” he interjected, correcting him.“I think that’s what she meant, but she’s so used t

  • 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

    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

    It had been a few days since the incident at the bistro, and a heavy, suffocating silence had settled between Eric and me. We moved around the estate like two planets in a dangerous orbit—close enough to feel the pull of gravity, but terrified of a collision. I had managed to sneak a text to Marco
