Eleanor stepped out of the sleek black SUV, the morning air of London feeling crisp. A triumphant smile played on her lips as she adjusted the lapel of her designer blazer. Today was the day. Today, she wasn't just a Kingston by name; she was the CEO of Kingston Group.

Pushing Eric out had been a marathon of manipulation, a task that would have broken a lesser woman. But she had managed. Her only lingering grievance was that the board hadn’t let her strip him of every cent. She wanted to see h

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 213: Glitch in the System

    “This is ridiculous,” Ezra’s voice rang out, fuming from the other end of the phone, carrying that all-too-familiar scolding tone.“It’s not,” Autumn replied as she walked into the café. She adjusted her cap and face mask, concealing her appearance.“It’s one thing to want to work with him, but to outright commit espionage,” he scolded her.“This is not my first rodeo,” she answered.He gasped in shock before hurriedly speaking. “Wait—you’ve done this before?”She took the seat in the furthest corner of the room, making sure she didn’t look too noticeable while still staying somewhat comfortable. Dropping her backpack, she pulled out her laptop, logged in, and began accessing the secure portal.Her hands flew across the keys as she typed, using a general access code.“Now, Autumn, have you entered the system using the Ministry-Nexus database?” Gusty’s voice replaced Ezra’s on the line.“Yes, I have entered,” she replied.“I’m going to share a secondary link with you. That will give me

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 212: Silent Shadow

    Eric sat in his downtown office overlooking the city centre.He should have been knee-deep in work, but he couldn’t seem to concentrate. His mind kept replaying multiple scenes like a broken record, tormenting him. The more images that surfaced, the more uneasy he felt.*Why am I worried about her?* he frowned, looking up at the ceiling. He rubbed a palm across his face. An emotion he still couldn’t decipher plagued him — something he felt and recognised, yet found hard to pinpoint. He knew it wasn’t anger, but his pride refused to acknowledge it, which only irritated him further the more he thought about it.“She is just my ex-wife. I can have multiple women begging on their knees for scraps of my attention, so why am I bothered by the thought of my ex?” His hand moved to massage his forehead, fighting off an approaching headache.“The way she looked at me…” he mused to himself, recalling both times Autumn had looked at him. “Indifferently,” he spoke out loud.That was how she had lo

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 211: Ezra’s Defence

    “Do you think this is a good idea?” Ezra’s voice echoed from the living room.“What is?” Autumn asked, already suspecting what he was talking about.“You working in the same building as that psychopath.” He frowned, his foot tapping annoyingly on the rug.“You speak like I like it,” she said, stepping out of the room with her makeup done. “I’m only doing it because there’s no other choice.”Ezra remained speechless, staring at her as she adjusted her hair. His mouth dry as the tapping stopped, his heart beating wildly in his chest trying to stop the pulsing of his heart beat. “Do I look okay?” she asked, finally acknowledging his silence.“Y-yes… you…” He stuttered, then cleared his throat desperately to hide his flustered expression. “Yes, you look… okay.” He added the last word even though he had wanted to use a much stronger one.“Thanks.” She smiled graciously at him. She led the way as they stepped outside and walked to the car.“I still think you’re being reckless,” he commente

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 210: The Trojan Horse Plan

    The tall, terrifying structure of the ministry building stood in all its glory. Autumn stood in awe, taking in the moment. *I can’t believe it,* she thought to herself in disbelief. The reality of starting her first day in this new role still felt unreal. Walking inside, she paused to look at the array of employees moving around, each busy with their own tasks. “This is really real,” she whispered in disbelief. There was no way to fully explain the feeling. She approached the receptionist’s desk. “Hi, I’m here regarding my appointment with the director,” she said, giving the man’s name. The receptionist typed in the information. “Name?” she asked. Autumn gave her own name, and the woman continued typing. Once everything was confirmed, the receptionist instructed Autumn on where to go to meet the director. Nodding and thanking her, Autumn took the elevator up to the floor where the director’s office was located. Just as the secretary had said, it was at the end of the hallway. S

  • 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’

    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

    Autumn stood before the ornate mirror in the foyer, checking her reflection one last time. She adjusted the strap of her bag, her fingers lingering on the leather. She felt like herself again.Chloe, ever the observant shadow, wandered into the foyer with a bowl of sliced fruit, munching slowly. Sh

    The car pulled up to the Seta by Antonio Guida, and we were led through the sleek, turquoise-accented halls of the hotel to Seta by Antonio Guida. Eric had reserved a private section, a secluded nook that felt worlds away from the bustling streets of Milan. The lighting was low, the air filled with

    "No, no, no!" the man shrieked, his voice hitting a pitch that probably had the neighborhood dogs howling. "Dear God, I am going to die of a heart attack from how unceremoniously ugly your taste is!" He began fanning himself dramatically with a silk-bound lookbook, his face twisted in a mask of the
