Autumn POV

I sat down on the sofa, staring at the TV. A broadcast of an interview was playing on the screen, the bright lights of the television reflecting in my eyes.

The words being said echoed in the vast, space of the living room. It felt like the house was too big now, especially with the silence that followed every lie the woman on the screen told.

The interview seemed to be with an alleged old friend of mine. This woman claimed she knew me back when I was in the "slums," a word the m

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 150

    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

    The grand dining room of the estate was buzzing with a low energy as Eric sat alone, waiting for Autumn to return. He had specifically instructed the kitchen staff to prepare her favorite dishes for dinner. Fin had already been tucked in safely for the night, leaving the expansive table set for the adults.To pass the time, Eric kept himself busy, scrolling through briefs on his phone while he waited for her to show up.The sound of approaching footsteps echoing down the hallway brought him out of his thoughts. He looked up expectantly, a rare soft smile beginning to form on his face only for it to be completely wiped away, instantly replaced by a scowl.“Throne,” Eric said, his voice dropping into a low register as his eyes locked onto the intruder. “What the hell are you doing in my home?”“Chloe invited me,” Sebastian replied smoothly. Entirely unbothered by the venom in Eric's tone, he calmly pulled out a chair and took a seat at the table.

    Sebastian’s POVHe sat on the leather sofa overlooking the London skyline. It was a starless night, the moon’s rays smothered by heavy, glowing clouds. Below, the city buzzed with artificial life, yet it was nothing compared to the absolute darkness residing within the sanctity of this room.“Repor

    The chandeliers gleamed high up in the ceiling, casting a beautiful, intricate spiral of glass against the ornate plaster. Why was I so invested in a ceiling and a bunch of crystals? I didn't know. Maybe it was just the sheer weight of the stress, the kind that makes your neck stiff and your mind l

    Chloe was still acting perfectly normal with me, laughing at the same jokes and leaning into our old rhythms, but I couldn't shake the feeling. It was like a splinter under my skin—tiny and impossible to ignore. I kept watching her, looking for a slip-up, a glance at her phone that lasted too long,

    The sound of designer heels clicking echoed through the dimly lit, marble-clad hallway, the sharp, rhythmic strike against the polished floor being the only thing breaking the heavy, oppressive silence of the hallway. To anyone else, the sound might have been jarring, even threatening, but to Elean
