Adrian’s POV

A cold feeling settled heavily in my chest. For several seconds, I stood motionless in the middle of the suite, staring at the message glowing on my screen.

“She’s not the only one being watched”. The words felt deliberate. Calculated. Like whoever sent them knew exactly how much attention it would command.

Chicago glittered beyond the glass walls of the suite, thousands of lights stretching endlessly into the darkness. Earlier, the view had seemed impressive. Now it felt differ

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    The Wrong Question

    Ava’s POV The room seemed to shift around Evelyn Blackwood. People talked in low voices with pure admiration, she smiles brightly greeting everyone warmly. She didn’t need to ask for attention, it was drawn to her naturally. I realized power didn’t need to announce itself. Evelyn descended the staircase with effortless grace, dressed in black and pearls that somehow made everyone else look underdressed. She greeted several guests on her way down. When her eyes landed on Ethan and I could see the change immediately. “Ethan.” For the first time all evening, I saw genuine affection on her face. Ethan smiled. I rolled my eyes, clearly irritated by him. “Sorry I’m late.” “You always are.” Her voice carried a softness, and couldn’t help but wonder if he was like that with Adrian too. She reached up and adjusted his tie. The gesture was so familiar it made something uncomfortable settle in my chest. Because it was clear she loved him, probably because she had helped raise him

  • My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession    Under Their Eyes

    Ava’s POV The drive to the Blackwood Estate felt shorter than it should have. Maybe because my mind refused to stay in one place long enough to measure time. Every few minutes I found myself staring out the window only to realize I didn’t actually see any of the scenery passing by. The city lights slowly disappeared behind us. Buildings gave way to trees, traffic disappeared, and the closer we got to the estate, the quieter everything became. My stomach twisted tighter with every passing mile. I looked down at my hands. They were clasped so tightly together my knuckles had turned white. By the time the car pulled to a stop, my nerves were all over the place. The driver stepped out and walked around the vehicle. A second later my door opened. Cool evening air rushed in. I took a slow breath. Gathering whatever courage I had left. I stepped out of the car. My heels touched the stone driveway. I smoothed my dress once. Looked up—and completely forgot whatever I had been

  • 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 Chicago Trip

    Ava’s POV It had been a week since the video leaked. And a few days since Ethan had punched Adrian. And through it all, Adrian Blackwood had remained infuriatingly calm. He could have called security on him or relinquished his shares, shown him he wasn’t to mess around anymore. Instead, he contai

    Ava’s POV The elevator ride to the thirty-second floor felt longer than it ever had before.
