I had finally made up my mind to contact Sebastian regarding the position he pitched to me. After what Eric said about me minding my own business regarding his family affairs, it just reaffirmed my deep-seated insecurity: I would never be considered a full Kingston, even if I was married to the man and bore his children. To them, I was an outsider playing a part.

I took out my phone, my fingers trembling slightly as I pulled up the number he had left on his business card.

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 187: Packing up the Pieces

    The taxi stopped in front of the gates of the estate. The once beautiful place she had, once upon a time, called home just felt strange to look at now. It was like looking at somewhere not her own, a monument to a life that had vanished.She paid for the taxi with her right hand and took her remaining belongings with her. Balancing the heavy cardboard box carefully with her one good arm, she stepped up and knocked firmly on the iron gate.Standing outside waiting on the pavement felt humiliating, but it also clarified her stance to herself. She was stripped of the Kingston title now; she was still that exact same girl from way back then, before the money.The gates were cracked open from the inside. A stoic bodyguard stepped aside, keeping his eyes fixed straight ahead, most likely letting her pass due to specific instructions given to him by Eric or Gabriel. She walked inside the grounds, her body protesting with every single step she took across the gravel path. The physical strain

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 186: Leaving the Ward

    Autumn lay flat on her back, staring blankly outside through the large glass window. Her entire body felt completely hollowed out both from the agonizing physical pain radiating from her injuries, the dull throbbing pain from her surgery, and the feeling of suffocating hopelessness she felt from the discovery of the destroyed tablet.She was mentally and physically exhausted from everything that had happened over the last two weeks. Her mind was in constant turmoil, relentlessly spinning in circles and making her feel terrible for the choices that had brought her here.“I sacrificed my child for this,” a single tear slipped silently from her eyes as she spoke aloud to the empty room, her voice a cracked whisper. “I sacrificed Eric...” She tightly gripped the rough hospital bedsheets with her one good hand as she quickly wiped her eyes, forcing her expression to harden.A soft, rhythmic knock suddenly brought her snapping back to the present.“Good day, Mrs. Kingston,” the attending d

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 185: The Ruined Evidence

    It had been over a week since the accident, a long, suffocating week since she had first woken up in the sterile hospital room, and almost a week since she and Eric had finalized their divorce, putting an end to her marriage.She had been stuck inside the hospital alone ever since that afternoon, with no one left by her side to comfort her. She spent her days either talking listlessly with the doctors or the nurses and other passing patients, or just lying flat in bed, thinking.Her mind had always been her biggest asset, but right now, it was also her biggest obstacle. It was constantly playing mind games with her, making her feel terrible for what had happened on that road, relentlessly tormenting her with the loss of her child(ren) and the dissolution of her marriage.No one had visited her ever since that day. She was sure Eric either hadn't told Chloe about her whereabouts at all, or he had forbidden her from coming. She was guessing the former scenario was true, since she vividl

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 184: The Finalised Decree

    They stood just as they had yesterday, but this time with a crisp divorce certificate resting between them on the bedside tray. Eric had sped up the entire procedure to a mere twenty-four hours, making well on his promise to divorce her without a moment's delay.Autumn just stared blankly at the ink on the page, her mind numb to everything around her. She looked at the unfolding scene like she was watching another person's life implode on itself, not her own.Just like yesterday, Nigel handled everything with a court-appointed clerk standing quietly by his side to authenticate the immediate decree.“We don't have all day,” Eric murmured coldly from where he stood by the glass window, his jaw tight, his posture rigid as he looked out into the city.Theresa leaned closer over the mattress, adjusting her glasses. “Ma'am, take a look at it and sign right here,” she pointed out, indicating a specific, dotted line left blank for Autumn.Gripping the plastic pen, Autumn's hand shook a bit as

    True to his word, Eric started the divorce proceedings within twenty-four hours.While Autumn was still on strict bed rest, he contacted her lawyer, Theresa Tillsday, ordering her to meet at London Central Hospital, and got Nigel to draw up a new agreement.So that was exactly what happened, with the three of them standing right in her private hospital room. Autumn, bruised and physically broken, sat up in the bed as Nigel slid a thick document over the bedside table to Theresa to look through.Theresa's eyes rapidly read through the papers one after the other, widening in shock at what she saw on the pages. “Mr. Kingston, you are being quite generous with the financial payout, but the legal terms of this agreement are a bit unfair to my client.”Raising a single brow, Eric crossed his legs slowly as he spoke. “Which part?”“The part where my client would have to give up full custody of her son, as well as the clause stating the divorce should be recorded as you seeking the divorce fr

  • My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy   Chapter 182: The Bedside Confrontation

    It had been two days since the tragic accident. The police investigation was still underway, the red tape keeping the precinct quiet. The people criminally responsible for ramming the vehicle were still unfounded, slipping away into the rainy night without a trace, but the precinct kept the file under close investigation.The exact details regarding the horrific crash were kept strictly under wraps through Eric’s immense influence. But even with that tight media blackout, speculation and wild rumors were still being made across the internet. Some tabloids blamed it on a reckless truck driver; others whispered about a lovers' spat gone wrong. But the core details of the night were kept a secret from the general public, as well as the identities of those involved in the wreckage.Gabriel oversaw every single moving part regarding the case in Eric’s stead, dealing with the authorities since Eric himself was still stuck inside the hospital walls. He hadn't left Autumn’s bedside for a frac

    THE VENUEIt was finally the day of the wedding—Chloe’s wedding.The venue, a sprawling botanical garden on the outskirts of the city, was decorated with a level of opulence that only the Kingstons could afford. White roses and hydrangeas cascaded from every archway, crystal chandeliers hung from t

    We talked late into the night, the television long since forgotten. The conversation had drifted from the disaster of the wedding to safer, quieter topics—Finn’s new school, the security protocols for the house, the logistics of living under siege. I yawned, a jaw-cracking sound that I couldn't su

    ​Silence overtook the entire garden. It was a heavy, suffocating silence, the kind that usually precedes a natural disaster. The birds seemed to stop singing; even the wind died down, as if nature itself was holding its breath to witness the carnage.​"Rebecca, how dare you say such things at a ti

    "Are you alright?"I heard Eric’s voice, low and rumbling, but it sounded like it was coming from underwater. My mind was somewhere else, replaying the look of pure hatred on Chloe’s face. The slamming door echoed in my ears, louder than any thunder.How could I lose the one most important person i
