Ava’s POV

I woke up before my alarm.

Not because I was well rested—because my body didn’t know how to stay still anymore.

For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling, listening to the quiet of my apartment like it might tell me something useful. It didn’t. It never did.

Then it hit me. The Blackwood family dinner was tonight. My stomach tightened instantly.

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    No Turning Back

    Ava’s POV I woke up before my alarm. Not because I was well rested—because my body didn’t know how to stay still anymore. For a few seconds, I just lay there staring at the ceiling, listening to the quiet of my apartment like it might tell me something useful. It didn’t. It never did. Then it hit me. The Blackwood family dinner was tonight. My stomach tightened instantly. I sat up too fast, my hand going to my forehead like that could physically push the memory back into yesterday where it belonged. It didn’t belong in today. It didn’t belong in my real life. But the fact that it was real, was the worst part. I don’t know how fast the days had run that it was already weekend. The conversation happened so fast, by the time I’d realized what I had agreed to, it was already done and there was no clean way to take it back without making it something heavier than it already was. I swung my legs off the bed slowly, pressing my feet into the floor. Desperate to feel something

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    The Perfect Opportunity

    Ethan’s POV The restaurant was too polished for what I needed it to be. Soft lighting. Expensive silence. The kind of place people chose when they wanted to believe they were still in control of their lives. I didn’t feel like I was. I sat at the back corner table, where the mirror-like glass wall reflected everything but revealed nothing useful. My fingers tapped lightly against the table even though I wasn’t paying attention to the rhythm. I haven’t been paying attention to much lately. Especially not work, not anything that didn’t somehow circle back to Ava. I exhaled slowly through my nose and forced my eyes away from the entrance. The chair across from me finally pulled back. Serena Hayes sat down like she owned the space around her before she even touched the table. She didn’t greet me, never really did. Her bag was placed beside her, precise, controlled. Her expression, however, was not. “You’re getting sloppy,” she said, clearly irritated. I leaned back sligh

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    By My Side

    Adrian’s POV The drive from Victoria’s penthouse to Ava’s apartment should have taken twenty minutes. Somehow it felt like an hour. Every traffic light seemed longer than usual, every red light felt personal, and every memory Victoria had dragged out of me refused to stay where it belonged. By the time I pulled up outside Ava’s building, I was more exhausted than I had been after some of the worst business negotiations of my career. I remained seated inside the car for several seconds after the engine died. The city moved around me without pause, people hurrying down sidewalks, taxis blaring their horns, delivery trucks blocking entire lanes as if they owned Manhattan. Everything looked normal. Meanwhile my thoughts felt like a battlefield. Victoria had changed. That was the problem. The woman I remembered had always been difficult, passionate, stubborn, and impossible to predict. What I had seen today was something else entirely. Something sharper. Something obsessed. And s

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    The Trap

    Adrian’s POV The drive to Victoria’s penthouse felt longer than it should have. Manhattan moved around me in a blur of headlights, traffic, and impatient horns, but I barely noticed any of it. My attention remained fixed on one thing. Victoria. I hadn’t seen her in years. Not really. There had been photographs occasionally. News articles. Reports from people who thought I cared enough to hear updates about her life. I never listened. At least that’s what I told myself. Because secretly I wanted to know. The truth was more complicated. For a long time after she left, I couldn’t go a day without thinking about her. Then a week. Then a month. Then eventually an entire year passed and I realized I had survived it. Not healed. Survived. There was a difference. The city lights flashed through the car windows as I leaned back against the seat. I still remembered the day everything ended. Not the crash. Not the hospital. After. When she pushed me away. I had spent weeks trying to sta

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    The Missing Piece

    Adrian’s POV I called Ava the moment I got to the office. Not because I had a reason to but because I wanted to hear her voice. I gave her a week leave from the office to rest after everything that happened in Chicago. The thought irritated me more than it should have. I loosened my tie as I stepped into my office and closed the door behind me. The city stretched beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows while my phone rang twice before she answered. “Hey, good morning.” I said softly, surprised on how easy that came out “Good morning,” she replied. She sounded tired. “You sound exhausted.” The kind of tired that comes from spending an entire night thinking. “I didn’t sleep much.” I frowned immediately. “You okay?” A brief pause followed. “Yeah.” I leaned against my desk. “You don’t sound okay.” That earned a small laugh. Then she sighed. “I got another text last night.” I sighed deeply this time around. “I’ll be right there.” Before she could respond, I ended the call. Something

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    You Should Have Listened

    Ava’s POV The screaming lasted far longer than it should have. At one point Chloe actually threw a cushion at me while Mia covered her mouth with both hands and stared at me like I had personally announced I was moving to another planet. I remained wedged into the corner of the couch wishing I could disappear into the cushions and never come back out. Unfortunately, neither of them seemed interested in letting that happen. “You kissed Adrian Blackwood?” Chloe demanded. I groaned immediately. “Please stop saying his full name like that.” “I’m going to keep saying his full name because I need you to understand the seriousness of the situation.” Chloe pointed dramatically at me from across the coffee table. “You kissed Adrian Blackwood.” Mia finally found her voice. “Wait, wait, wait.” She sat forward so quickly that her drink nearly tipped over. “How did it happen?” I immediately regretted opening my mouth. “I’m not telling you that.” “You absolutely are.” “No.” “Yes.” I looked
