  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    Losing Control

    Adrian’s POV The meeting should have had my full attention. Instead, every word spoken around the conference table dissolved into meaningless noise while my thoughts remained trapped somewhere else entirely. A quarterly report lay open in front of me, pages filled with projections, profit margins, and investor forecasts, but the figures blurred together until they became nothing more than black ink on white paper. Noah’s voice was steady as he presented the numbers, department heads occasionally asking questions or offering suggestions, yet I hadn’t processed a single sentence in the last several minutes. My phone rested beside my notebook. The dark screen reflected the fluorescent lights overhead. No messages. No missed calls. No reply from Ava. A strange irritation settled beneath my skin, subtle at first, then steadily growing heavier. It wasn’t because I expected her to answer every time I called. Ava had never been the type to drop everything simply because I wanted her att

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    Dinner With The Past

    Ava’s POV The business card remained inside my desk drawer for the rest of the afternoon, silently waiting for a decision I kept pretending I had already made. I told myself I wasn’t thinking about George, yet every time I reached for something inside that drawer, my eyes found the white card before I could stop them. It wasn’t because I wanted him back; it was because a part of me still wanted to understand why the person I loved most had walked away without letting me fight for us. By the time Chloe and Mia entered my office, they didn’t need to ask what was wrong because they already knew. Chloe looked toward the drawer before looking back at me, and the small knowing expression on her face told me she had noticed everything I had been trying to hide. “You haven’t thrown it away,” she said softly. I looked down at my desk. “I don’t know why.” Mia crossed her arms. “Yes, you do.” I hated that she was right. “You’re not thinking about giving George another chance,” Chloe sa

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    Echoes That Linger

    Ava’s POV The door clicked shut behind George, and I remained exactly where I was, my eyes fixed on the empty space he’d left behind as though the room itself was still trying to catch up with what had just happened. I had spent years believing that if I ever saw him again, my heart would either break all over or demand answers I’d never received, yet standing in front of him had taught me something I never expected—I hadn’t been waiting for George to come back, I’d only been waiting for the chance to let him go. Slowly, I found my way to my private office and lowered myself into my office chair, releasing a long breath that seemed to carry years of old hurt away with it. I had forgiven him. Saying those words aloud hadn’t been difficult. Living long enough to mean them had been. There had been a time when George Walker had been my entire future, when every dream I had built somehow included him standing beside me, laughing over burnt dinners in our tiny apartment and prom

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    Echoes Of Goodbye

    Ava’s POV The lobby around us continued exactly as it always had. Polished shoes clicked against marble floors. Yet all of it sounded distant, as though someone had pulled me beneath water. George was standing in front of me. Not in a memory or dream. Real. The papers I had dropped were still scattered around my feet, but I couldn’t bring myself to bend down and pick them up. My body simply refused to move. He looked different. The confident young man I had once planned my entire future around had disappeared somewhere over the years. His clothes were neat but worn. His face carried quiet exhaustion, and the warmth that had always lived inside his smile had faded into something much sadder. Time had changed both of us. His eyes searched my face carefully, almost cautiously, as though he was afraid I would disappear if he blinked. “…Hi, Ava.” His voice was soft. Uncertain. I opened my mouth to answer, but nothing came out. What was I supposed to say to the first man

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    Ghost’s Return

    Ava’s POV There were moments when work became a blessing. Not because I enjoyed drowning myself in endless reports and schedules, but because staying busy left very little room for overthinking. And lately….overthinking had become dangerous. Three days had passed since Adrian and I found our way back to each other. Three days since he had stood outside my apartment, soaked to the bone, refusing to leave until I heard him out. Three days since I had fallen asleep in his arms believing the worst was finally behind us. I wanted to hold on to that feeling. But reality had a way of interrupting happiness, because the legal meetings hadn’t stopped. If anything, they’d become even more frequent. Every morning, lawyers arrived carrying stacks of documents thicker than the day before. Every afternoon, board members disappeared into conference rooms with Adrian, Noah, and Victoria. Sometimes the meetings lasted two hours and sometimes they stretched until evening. By the time Adria

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    The Proposal

    Victoria’s POV The restaurant overlooked the Hudson, where the evening lights shimmered across the dark water like scattered diamonds. It was elegant, expensive, and discreet—the kind of place where powerful people conducted conversations they never wanted the public to hear. I arrived fifteen minutes early, not because I was eager. But because I wanted him to know I had waited for him. Especially him who had once waited for me willingly. A waiter escorted me to a secluded table near the windows, and I ordered a glass of white wine before opening my phone. Seven twenty-three, he was late. Or maybe not late but hesitant and I knew exactly why. At seven twenty-nine, the maître d’ led a man toward my table. For a moment, I almost didn’t recognize him. George Walker looked older than thirty. Life had carved itself into his face in ways age never could. The expensive suits he used to wear had been replaced by a faded navy blazer that had clearly seen better days. His beard had g

    Ava’s POVThe door closes behind me, soft and almost weightless against the storm building inside my chest. I keep walking, one step after another, my heels striking the floor in a steady rhythm that doesn’t match the chaos in my pulse. I don’t stop in the hallway, not when the receptionist glances

No dim lights to blur the details.I don’t break stride as I walk into the room. I can feel the shift around me—conve

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    Hidden Truth

    Ava's PovMia didn’t say anything at first. She just stared at me from across the kitchen, her fingers wrapped tightly around a mug of coffee that had long gone cold, like she’d forgotten it existed. Her eyes were locked on me—searching, calculating, waiting for me to say something that would make
