My Step-Uncle's Plaything Chapter 83
AliceI didn’t even realize how quickly the drive to the penthouse passed.All I knew was that during the entire ride, I couldn’t sit still. Even though the car's interior was quiet and traffic was unusually smooth, every minute still felt painfully slow.My mind kept replaying what Uncle Lemuel had told me.Lance was already at the penthouse, and he wanted me to be there.After everything that had happened—his sudden disappearance, the news spreading across the media, the press conference—I was finally going to see him again.I didn’t know what the first thing I would say to him would be.I didn’t know if I would hug him… or punch him out of frustration for disappearing for several days.But there was only one thing I was absolutely certain about.I wanted to see him and be with him.When the car finally stopped in front of the MobTech building, my heart began beating even faster.A few moments later, I was already inside the elevator that led directly to the penthouse.The elevator

AliceMy body felt completely exhausted when I finally returned home from school that afternoon.To be honest, I barely understood anything from the lectures we had the entire day. No matter how hard I tried to focus on what my professors were saying, my mind kept drifting back to everything that had happened over the past few days.Lance’s disappearance and his sudden appearance at the press conference.And the words he said to me.I should have felt happy after hearing them.But how could I feel that way when I knew those words might have made his father furious… and that there was no telling what his father might do to him because of it?No matter how much I tried to trust Lance completely, the worry inside me refused to disappear.The news spreading across social media, the press conference we had watched—it all remained painfully clear in my memory.Even now, I could still hear the way he had said the word “baby” in front of everyone.Every time I remembered that moment, I couldn

LanceFor several days now, I have been locked inside this room.But I knew this place belonged to my father—just one of the many private properties quietly hidden under the Richardson family name. Houses that were only used for vacations or discreet business matters.Outside the door, two men were always standing guard.My father’s men.It was obvious they had strict orders not to let me leave.I had no phone.No laptop.Nothing I could use to communicate with the outside world.And with every passing hour, there was only one person on my mind.Alice.I didn’t know what she was feeling right now. I didn’t know if she had already seen the news about my supposed engagement to Jeraldine. I didn’t know if she believed any of it… or if she was already furious with me.And the worst part of all, I had no way to explain anything to her.I was standing by the window, staring out at the dark yard, when the door suddenly opened.I didn’t even need to turn around to know who it was.Dad.He wal

AliceTwo days had passed since Mom, Uncle Lemuel, and I talked about the possibility that something bad might have happened to Lance.In those two days, it felt like the world had slowed down. Every hour felt longer than it should, and every minute felt like waiting.I could barely sleep properly anymore.Every time I closed my eyes, the same things returned to my mind—the headlines about his supposed wedding to Jeraldine, the photos circulating online, and the careless comments from people who had no idea whose hearts they were hurting.But more than anything else… I kept thinking about Lance’s silence.Still no calls.Not even a single message.No matter how hard I tried to convince myself that there had to be an explanation, I couldn’t stop the fear slowly tightening around my chest.That afternoon, I was sitting quietly in the living room.The house was calm. Mom was in the kitchen preparing dinner, while Uncle Lemuel stood near the window, speaking on the phone.For the past few

AliceI had already lost count of how many times I had opened and closed my phone over the past few days.Every single time I did it, I hoped for only one thing.A message.A call.A simple explanation from Lance.But until now… There was still nothing.I sat on the bed in my room, my phone resting in my hands. For a few seconds, I simply stared at the screen before opening social media again—something I had been trying so hard to avoid, yet somehow couldn’t stop myself from doing.And the moment the page loaded, it felt like the entire world suddenly became heavier.A new headline appeared on the screen. It was bigger, clearer, and far more painful.'Grand Wedding Preparations Begin for Lance Richardson and Jeraldine Dudley.'There was even a photo of the venue supposedly chosen for the wedding, along with several details about the so-called “union of two powerful business families.”I didn’t need to read the entire article. The headline alone was enough.My vision slowly blurred as I

LanceThe air inside the boardroom felt heavy as I placed the last folder in the center of the long table.Four days had passed since Dad spoke to Alice, and I could no longer hold everything back.I refused to let my father use the woman I loved just to force me to yield. And I refused to let him use me as a pawn to manipulate Alice.This wasn’t an ordinary meeting. It wasn’t just another presentation or routine discussion.This was the moment I had been preparing for—a moment that would determine who would remain inside the empire of Richardson Foods… and who would be pushed out of it for good.The board members sat in silence as they began flipping through the documents I had laid out in front of them.Bank records.Investment trails.Financial discrepancies that should never exist within a company with a reputation like ours.At the other end of the table sat my father. He hadn’t spoken a single word, but the anger he was trying to hide was written clearly across his face. His eye

Lance“I’m heading out,” Dad said as he adjusted his coat. He gave Lemuel a brief but meaningful tap on the shoulder. Nothing dramatic, just enough to acknowledge him, then nodded at Annabelle before finally turning away.Honestly, I didn’t expect Dad to attend this wedding. I thought he had long c

Lance“Annabelle has been uneasy,” Lemuel began, his eyes fixed on the coffee cup in his hands. “Alice doesn’t really tell her where she works or what part-time jobs she takes.”He let out a quiet sigh before continuing. “I can’t bring her into the company yet. We can’t afford it for now. But… I kn
