My Step-Uncle's Plaything Chapter 43
Alice“Hmp!”I tried to speak, but that was all that came out as I kicked my foot, struggling to break free. My heart was pounding wildly, caught between shock and fear.What does he want from me?Is this it—my birthday and my death anniversary happening on the same day?I squeezed my eyes shut at the thought.No. I can’t give up.I forced my mouth open, about to bite down on the hand covering it, but suddenly the man slammed me back against the door. I felt the cold wood press into my back, his solid presence looming in front of me. And for some reason… The sensation felt familiar now that he was this close.“Why are you only coming home now?”I froze.That voice—deep, controlled, edged with irritation—was one I would recognize even with my eyes closed. It sent a jolt through my entire body, like an electric shock.I stopped struggling.Only then did he let me go.I quickly reached for the light switch, and when the room lit up, he was the first thing I saw.Lance.Standing right in
My Step-Uncle's Plaything Chapter 42
AliceI went back to work, and from the moment Lance and Jeraldine left, I never saw him again.Even if I wanted to say I was fine with it, I couldn’t completely hide my irritation. I worked in silence, focused on my tasks, but inside, my frustration was boiling over.I didn’t have the right to complain. I knew that.Still, the sting was there.Thankfully, when my lunch break came around, that was when I finally checked my phone. The first thing I saw was a message from Shirley—a long, overly energetic birthday greeting that instantly lifted my mood, even just a little.I hadn’t noticed it earlier that morning because I’d been feeling overwhelmed—in a good way. I was excited to be at MobTech. I didn’t have classes today, so I’d been genuinely looking forward to spending the whole day in the Marketing Department—meetings, revisions, brainstorming sessions, everything.Then more messages came in—one after another—from Mom and Dad.I couldn’t help but smile.Despite everything, the relat

AliceMore than ever, I find myself genuinely motivated to study.This is no longer about simple compliance, no longer just doing what's required to pass. This has become personal. I'm more focused on my major subjects now, more attentive during lectures, and more careful with every case study and every example our professors discuss. I want to be better equipped, especially since I spend most of my time in the Marketing Department. I never want to reach a point where someone throws a question at me—even a basic one and I can't answer it.I don't want to be embarrassed.I don't want to be dismissed as just another intern who got lucky.There's so much to learn in the field, and I can feel just how valuable every second is. That's why, even when I'm exhausted, even when all I want is to go home and collapse on my bed, I force myself to stay. Opportunities like this don't come often, and I know better than to waste them.Even though most of my work is in the Marketing Department, I'm st

Lance“What the hell, Lance!”My father’s furious shout was the first thing that greeted me the moment I stepped into the house. I knew it—coming here was a bad idea. I would’ve rather slept at the office or in my condo than face the lecture he’d clearly been saving ever since the blind date fiasco.I left Jeraldine at the restaurant. No goodbye. No explanation. And yes, I know that wasn’t exactly gentlemanly. But truth be told, I never pretended to be one, especially when I’m certain I have no interest in someone.“I’m no longer a kid, Dad… You can't dictate to me what to do or not to do.”My voice was low but heavy as I walked straight to the minibar. I grabbed a bottle and a glass before heading into the living room, where he stood waiting.I sat on the couch, uncorked the bottle, and poured myself a drink. After setting the bottle down on the side table, I leaned back, acting as if his presence didn’t matter at all, while his eyes followed my every move, the anger on his face impo

LanceLaFrench Cuisine Restaurant. Soft lighting. Muted jazz playing in the background.The perfect setting for an impressively romantic date.If only I cared.I sat across from Jeraldine Dudley—wearing a cream silk dress, hair clearly styled with intention, and a smile that suggested she was well-practiced in nights like this. She carried the aura of a woman who knew she was beautiful and expected that to be enough.“So,” she began, cutting into her steak, “your dad told me you’re the CEO of MobTech. Must be nice… having everything handed to you.”There it is.I didn’t answer right away. I took a sip of my wine instead, watching the way she waited for my reaction, clearly expecting either offense or bragging.“Interesting assumption,” I replied calmly. “What made you think it was handed to me?”She shrugged. “Well, family business. Connections. You know… privilege.”I nodded, as if considering it. “So you believe success is mostly inherited?”“Obviously,” she said without hesitation.

LanceThis wasn’t supposed to be like this.From the very beginning, the contract was clear—no feelings, no attachment. One year. Sex only. Physical release. No emotions involved, no complications.But that time when the Marketing Department was working on a new plan. As I stood by the glass wall on the marketing floor, watching Alice interact with the team—laughing, relaxed, yet completely alert—I knew something had already gone wrong.She’s glowing.Not the forced confidence I often see around here. Not the polished charm people use to climb the corporate ladder. With Alice, it’s quiet but genuine. Every word she says carries meaning. Every point has weight, even when she doesn’t push it.She’s looking at Stella as she explains something—tablet in hand, brows slightly furrowed, but her direction is clear. Stella nods. The team listens.And that’s when I feel it.A tightness in my chest I don’t recognize.Damn it.I keep noticing things I shouldn’t be paying attention to. The way she
