My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 228: Blowback
Autumn sat by the window, staring out at the busy street below the hospital. The distant sounds of traffic and people moving about had a strangely hypnotic effect on her mind.She had been brought here two days ago with only minor injuries — scratches and bruises she sustained during her struggle with Sebastian.It had taken hours of pleading and bargaining (with quiet pressure from Ezra that Autumn wasn’t fully aware of) to stop the hospital from reporting the incident to the authorities. On paper, it looked like a domestic dispute that had turned into assault.But Autumn didn’t want the matter to go any further. If she pushed it, Sebastian — a master manipulator — would spin the entire story against her. She could lose the opportunity she had been given. Since she hadn’t lost her life, she refused to lose this as well.That was exactly what she had told Ezra when he called her insane for protecting Sebastian. He had argued that Sebastian could easily claim self-defence. In the end,
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 227: Director’s Threat to Thorne
The sound of distant murmuring echoed off the walls. Patrons were absorbed in their own activities — some typing furiously on their laptops, others talking and laughing with the people sitting close to them.Hidden in a darker corner of the establishment, Eric sat with a cup of coffee in front of him. Steam still rose from it, left completely untouched. His mind remained fixed on the only reason he was here.He opened his phone and checked the text Gabriel had sent him earlier that day — the address of this particular restaurant, along with a picture of Sebastian walking inside with someone who looked like Chloe.He took a deep breath, forcing his rage into silence, and put the phone away.He hadn’t visited Autumn, but from the report he received, she had returned home after the hospital. A bit shaken, but still holding up. If one could even call it that.His eyes swept across the room to where they were seated. Chloe was laughing at something Sebastian said.*Cute,* he thought sarcas

"—that would conclude today’s meeting.”Eric spoke the words,before exiting the video call, and turned off his computer. His hand found his head, resting on top of it as he rubbed his eyes, trying to fight off the approaching headache.His gaze moved to the digital clock on his desk. It read twenty-five minutes past midnight. The rest of the world should be asleep by now, yet he was still stuck here, finishing last-minute adjustments.He stood up from his desk, arranged the files, then walked toward the couch where his coat had been draped since morning. He pulled it on and moved toward the door. Being the last person left, he switched off the lights as he walked out.“You’re still here?” he asked, taking in the sight of Gabriel still fully engrossed in the work in front of him.“Yes, sir. You hadn’t finished your meeting.”Eric let out a low grunt.“You may leave. Continue the work tomorrow.” He started walking again after dismissing him, his posture slumped and heavy with exhaustion
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 225: Safe Extraction and Breakdown
Autumn safely nuzzled deeper into his chest as he descended the stairs. His grip on her never wavered — instead, it tightened just a fraction, as if to reassure himself that she was truly safe and alright.He reached the lobby and swiftly walked through the doors leading outside the building. His eyes darted around frantically, searching for where he had parked his car in his desperation to get her out.Locating it, he walked over and opened the front passenger door. He gently eased her inside, then moved his hands to her face, cupping it within his palms.Her eyes were unfocused, glossed over and slick with tears as she looked around blankly.“Hey,” he called out softly, afraid she would break if he raised his voice any higher. “Are you okay?” His hands moved over her, checking for any injuries he might have missed.She remained silent, her eyes still glossy and unfocused.“Hey, Autumn,” he called more firmly this time, using her name to pull her attention back. “Are you okay?” he as

His grip was tight and biting as he dragged her toward the covered window. All the way there, she kept struggling, trying to break free from his grasp, but he only let out a cruel laugh at her attempts.“Why are you resisting, Autumn?” He tugged at her sleeve. “Nobody is coming to rescue you. You are trapped in here with me.”She used whatever strength she could muster and struck his hand, desperately trying to free herself. But it was no use. Sebastian’s grip was tight and unforgiving.He dragged her with him as he uncovered the curtains, moving them aside with one hand. He was about to unlatch the lock when a ringing sound stopped him.His head snapped toward her — more precisely, toward her body.“What do you have with you?” He halted his movement and returned his full attention to her. His hands moved over her coat, trying to unearth whatever she had hidden underneath.The ringing continued. She struggled as he patted her down. *I can’t let him find it. It’s the only way Gus and E

“You gotta stop pestering her like that,” Gusty said, taking a seat and offering him a can of beer.The aftermath of his disagreement with Autumn still left him shaken. He had taken refuge with Gus just to cool his head.“I’m not pestering her,” he bit back. To him, his actions weren’t pestering. They came from a place of care. He cared deeply about her and couldn’t stand the thought of something bad happening to her.*I just want to protect her. Is that so wrong?* An image of Autumn’s genuine smile flashed in his mind.“I just want to protect her. Is that so wrong?” he repeated out loud.“Wanting to protect someone isn’t wrong,” Gusty replied, taking a sip of his beer. “But if the person doesn’t need it and has already told you multiple times, it starts to feel like smothering.”Ezra frowned at his words. Another thought bloomed in his head.“But she didn’t say ‘smother.’ She used the word ‘control,’” he interjected, correcting him.“I think that’s what she meant, but she’s so used t
My Best Friend’s Uncle… and My Baby Daddy Chapter 55
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,

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

Autumn’s POVWe had finally arrived in Edinburgh. After the flight and the long drive from the private airfield, I was physically exhausted. The city was beautiful even in the dark, with its old stone streets and the looming castle in the distance, but I was too tired to truly appreciate

Autumn POVI 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
