My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession The Opening Move
Adrian’s POV The restaurant remained just as crowded after Victoria left, yet it felt as though every sound had been swallowed by the envelope resting between Ava and I. The quiet conversation around us faded into meaningless noise, while my eyes remained fixed on the cream-colored document she had left behind. Ava hadn’t touched her food. Neither had I. “You should open it,” she said softly. Her voice pulling me from my thoughts. Without replying, I reached across the table and slid a finger beneath the seal. The paper gave way with a faint tear that sounded far louder than it should have. I unfolded the documents slowly, already expecting another one of Victoria’s games. But when she had said unfinished business, I couldn’t think of any business we had until I opened the first page. A legal notice. I skimmed the first paragraph, then the second. By the time I reached the final page, my jaw had locked so tightly it hurt. “What is it?” Ava asked. I didn’t answer instead
My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession Unfinished Business
Ava’s POV The week passed more quietly than the one before it. For the first time in months, Aurelius Group almost felt… normal. Almost. The constant whispers about the missing acquisition proposal gradually disappeared, replaced by cautious conversations about new investors, fresh contracts, and the company’s future. Daniel Brooks remained in custody while the investigation continued behind closed doors. Although nobody openly admitted it, the suspicious glances that had once followed me through the office had finally disappeared. I should have felt relieved. Instead, an uneasy feeling lingered beneath the surface, refusing to let me enjoy the peace surrounding us. Everything felt… too quiet. It was the kind of silence that usually came before something shattered. I had just returned from delivering signed contracts to the Legal Department when my phone vibrated against my desk. The familiar notification made me glance down immediately. Adrian: Lunch. Twenty minutes.
My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession The Woman In The Shadows
Victoria’s POV My penthouse overlooked Manhattan like a throne above the city, towering high enough to make the people below look insignificant. Beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows, thousands of lights shimmered against the darkness like scattered diamonds while the distant hum of traffic drifted faintly through the glass. The city was alive. I felt nothing. I stood motionless before the glass, a crystal wineglass resting loosely between my fingers. The deep crimson liquid caught the glow of the city, yet I hadn’t taken more than a single sip. Most people would have called this view breathtaking. To me, it was simply another reminder that Adrian Blackwood was still out there… still breathing, still rebuilding everything I had once believed belonged to us. Every new skyscraper bearing his company’s name, every headline praising his success, every whisper about Aurelius Group rising from the ashes felt like another knife twisting slowly beneath my ribs. A soft knock echoed through
My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession A Familiar Shadow
Adrian’s POV The city had surrendered completely to the night. Manhattan glittered beneath the floor-to-ceiling windows like a sea of fractured diamonds, its endless stream of headlights weaving through the streets below while distant sirens echoed faintly through the silence. Yet none of it could pull my attention away from the reports scattered across my desk. I had been buried in financial projections for nearly an hour. So when Noah interrupted me after business hours I knew it was because whatever he carried couldn’t wait until morning. “Come in.” The door opened with barely a whisper. He stepped inside carrying a thick brown file tucked securely beneath his arm instead of the tablet he usually preferred. His expression remained unreadable, his shoulders straight and composed, but after years of working together, I had learned to recognize the smallest shifts in his demeanor. The slight tightening around his jaw and the unusual silence before he spoke told me everything
My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession Hidden Signs
Ava’s POV Luckily for me, the investigation had finally pointed to someone. Daniel Brooks, one of the junior employees from the Finance Department, had been taken in for questioning after evidence placed him inside the building the night the acquisition proposal disappeared. I didn’t know everything he had confessed, but judging by the determined look on Noah’s face every time he walked past my desk, I knew the investigation had finally begun moving in the right direction. Adrian hadn’t shared many details with me, and I understood why. Whoever was behind the attacks had managed to stay hidden for months, sabotaging Aurelius deal after deal without leaving much behind. If Daniel had truly been working for someone else, then whoever had hired him was still out there, and Adrian wasn’t about to show his hand until he knew exactly who he was dealing with. For the first time in weeks, I allowed myself to believe this nightmare might actually end. I caught myself smiling at the thoug
My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession Scars That Never Healed
Adrian’s POV With everything happening at Aurelius Group, one truth became impossible to ignore. Whoever was orchestrating this chaos wasn’t trying to destroy Ava alone—they wanted to punish me too, as though I had committed some unforgivable crime against them. Every stolen file, every calculated move, every carefully planted doubt carried the unmistakable scent of revenge, and I couldn’t shake the feeling that I was only seeing the surface of something much darker. Ethan had resented me since we were children, so discovering he had been communicating with Serena wasn’t exactly shocking. What kept gnawing at the back of my mind was the question of who had manipulated him into taking things this far because Ethan had always been impulsive, but never strategic. Whoever was standing behind the curtain understood exactly how to exploit old wounds, and being family wouldn’t spare Ethan from the consequences of the choices he had made. The truth was, I didn’t have many enemies. If an

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

My Ex Fiancé Uncle’s Obsession The Betrayal
Ava's PovI thought the sound of laughter coming from our bedroom was the TV I’d forgotten to turn off. But as I pushed the door open, I realized the sound was much deeper, much more intimate, and coming from a man whose voice I didn’t recognize, wrapped in the arms of the man I was supposed to mar
