Eleanor’s Pov

Eleanor sank into the plush leather of the executive chair—a brand new suite she’d ordered the moment she’d moved into Eric’s old office. She had spent the first forty-eight hours purging every single trace of her brother from these four walls. She’d replaced his minimalist art with gilded frames and swapped his mahogany desk for something more "regal." She didn't know how she would maintain her composure if she were constantly reminded of the humiliation she had suffered at his h

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 132

    The morning sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, blanketing the two figures tangled in the sheets. Instinctively, Eric shifted, placing his arm securely around Autumn’s waist and drawing her flush against his chest. He relished the quiet, peaceful warmth of the moment before trying to slip back to sleep, his grip tightening slightly as if afraid she might slip away the moment he let go.With the movement of his hand, Autumn stirred awake. Her mind was a groggy, distorted mess until her eyes focused on the digital clock on the nightstand. Realizing she had drastically overslept, she bolted upright.“Oh my god, what time is it?” she panicked, throwing the duvet off her body.Eric’s hand shot out, catching her gently by the wrist and pulling her back down. “Autumn, relax. You don’t need to hurry off in such a rush.”She twisted around to glare at him. “Well, excuse me, Mr. CEO,” she grumbled, struggling to free her hand from his grasp. “But some of us can’t afford to oversleep

    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

    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.

    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

    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
