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 memories of Eric’s demands and the way I had surrendered to them. My body ached—a deep, heavy soreness—but it was the good kind.

I checked the bedside clock. It was almost ten in the morning, nearing mid

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 151

    Seated with his back rested flat against the leather seat, his fingers gripping the steering wheel with white-knuckled intensity, Sebastian couldn’t be anything but furious. A wave of anger burned hot in his chest as he stared through the tinted windshield of his parked sedan.“Sir, don’t you think this is a bit too much?” the man in the passenger seat asked hesitantly. He had been noticing Sebastian’s piercing, unblinking gaze aimed directly at the family of three across the school grounds. He watched as Eric, Autumn, and little Fin finally exited the main building, casually chatting with a few other lingering parents who were trying to strike up a polite conversation with them. “Sir... it’s getting a bit too assertive now,” the man added, his voice trembling slightly as he stared at the completely disassociated expression on his boss's face.“I am being too much?” Sebastian turned his head slowly, his eyes pinning the other man to his seat. He spoke with an eerie, unnatural calmness

    It was finally the day of Fin’s school sports festival.Eric stepped out of the car first, dressed in simple dark blue jeans, white sneakers, and a vibrant pink shirt — the exact, uncompromising color the school had requested the parents to wear for the celebration. The tight fabric strained against his broad shoulders and muscular upper torso, drawing immediate attention toward his imposing frame the moment he crossed the threshold.Autumn stepped out right behind him, instantly shivering as a gust of morning wind hit her. “Why would they host a sports competition in this freezing weather? What summered?” she grumbled, pulling her thick coat tighter around her body with her arms crossed defensively over her chest.“Well, it’s just for a day. You will get used to it,” Eric said smoothly. He reached out and pulled the grumpy woman closer to his side, anchoring her against his shoulder to shield her from the wind while holding the eccentric, excited Fin by the finger with his other han

    Eric walked through the boutique, trying to buy the exact color Fin’s school had specifically requested them to wear for the upcoming school sports celebration. He moved down the aisles of high-end children's apparel, his fingers brushing past various fabrics as he searched for the precise shade.“Why am I the one buying this?” he sighed exasperatedly to himself, shaking his head. “I should have just gotten someone to do it.” He muttered the words under his breath, looking through the different shades of color on the rack, completely out of his element in a children's boutique.Ring! Ring!The sudden sound of his phone ringing cut through the quiet store. Eric paused, handing over a piece of selected clothing to the sales associate standing nearby. “Wrap this for me,” he instructed smoothly.He dug into his coat pocket for his phone, expecting a work update. Instead, the name 'Wifey' flashed brightly on the screen. A rare smile began to form on his face as he pressed to answer.But be

    “Sleeping my way to the executive board,” she repeated the words again out loud. She sat alone in her office, the text message glaring back at her from the screen. “I slept my way to this position,” she said to herself, as a way to see if her mind was playing games with her. She couldn’t believe the sheer audacity for them to slander her with no concrete evidence, just because she had requested a single day of time off to sort out her health. Her hands tightened around the edges of her desk as the reality of it settled in. They had used her absence as a motive to spread hate against her, turning her medical leave into a weapon to tear down everything she had built. “Tsk,” she clicked her tongue. The initial shock vanished, replaced by focus. Standing up from her chair, she left her office and took the elevator up, taking a trip straight to Sebastian’s office to have a word with him. ‘I need him to know before I take action,’ she thought grimly as she stepped out into the executiv

    True to her word, Autumn returned to the Nexus Corp headquarters the next morning at exactly thirty minutes before the official clock-in time. She walked through the lobby looking radiant, a bit of healthy color finally returning to her pale cheeks after a full day of bed rest.There were very few employees present at this hour, so she took it as a golden opportunity to mentally prepare before the intense morning briefing with her team. Heading straight to her private office, she locked the door behind her and sat down for the day, methodically going through the remaining project variables she needed to address for the municipal presentation.When the clock struck the designated hour, she gathered her tablet and walked into the conference room where the meeting was scheduled to take place.To her surprise, the room was mostly empty. Only two out of the five other team members were currently seated at the long glass table.“Good morning,” Autumn greeted the two individuals formally, ta

    Sebastian stepped into his private office the next morning with dark circles shadowing the skin underneath his eyes. His expression was grim as he hung up his coat. He had spent the entire night pacing, practicing exactly how he would handle the delicate issues currently at hand.The main, suffocating issue was the threat of Eric running an in-depth medical screening on Autumn. If a specialist checked her blood for anomalies, the entire game would be up. Sebastian knew he had to halt any further poisoning immediately. He just had to stop,for now, at least. Even if the sudden pause temporarily slowed his progress, he could always resume the dosages when the time was right, or when the household dynamic grew calmer.The abrupt vibration of his phone cut through his spiraling thoughts. Running a hand through his hair, he pulled the device from his pocket.“Hello,” he answered, not even bothering to glance at the caller ID.“Hi, Sebastian,” Autumn’s voice drifted through the line. She sou

    I had spent the last few days trying to settle into the new house in Edinburgh. On the outside, everything looked perfect. The stone walls were strong, the air was fresh, and we were far away from the chaos of London. But inside the house, a different kind of war was starting.I had tried to get to

    Eric’s POVWe sat in her modest living room and talked about a few things. As the hours went by, I got to know so much more about Autumn’s childhood than I ever expected. If the stellar grades I had seen in the files were not enough, the physical proof of her achievements sparked even more respect

    Eric’s POV"—so that's why it's important I go do this alone," I said to Autumn. I didn't look at her as I spoke, focusing instead on the metal teeth of my suitcase as I pulled the zipper shut. The sound was loud in the quiet bedroom, echoing like a final decision."But still, I
