Lucy's POV

I stood frozen in the sterile hospital corridor, unable to process the scene unfolding before me. Elizabeth Shaw— the always composed southern lady— had transformed into something feral as she lunged at Mary Simpson, her manicured nails raking across Mary's perfectly made-up face.

"You vicious snake!" Elizabeth snarled, her voice barely recognizable. "You deliberately upset my daughter while she's carrying twins!"

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    Chapter 249

    William Murphy stood there, supported by Catherine and Layla, with Phillip and Jack flanking them. The entire Murphy clan advanced toward us like an approaching storm. Mary's face turned ashen. My heart hammered against my ribs as sweat slicked my palms. I'd only called Jack —I hadn't expected him to bring the entire Murphy family. They must have already been on their way when I called. Jack's POV I stood frozen in the sterile hospital corridor, watching everything unravel before my eyes. The call from Lucy had been frantic—my mother and Elizabeth Shaw physically fighting in the hospital. But nothing prepared me for the scene we walked into. "Who did you say is dead?" Grandfather William's voice boomed down the hallway, silencing everyone instantly. My mother turned, her face a mess of smeared makeup and scratches, her perfect hair disheveled beyond recognition. She tilted her head slightly, avoiding Grandfather's burning gaze. Something about her defiant posture made my

    Lucy's POV I stood frozen in the sterile hospital corridor, unable to process the scene unfolding before me. Elizabeth Shaw— the always composed southern lady— had transformed into something feral as she lunged at Mary Simpson, her manicured nails raking across Mary's perfectly made-up face. "You vicious snake!" Elizabeth snarled, her voice barely recognizable. "You deliberately upset my daughter while she's carrying twins!" My fingers trembled as I pulled out my phone and frantically dialed Jack. This situation was spiraling dangerously out of control. "Jack, you need to come immediately. Your mother and Mrs. Shaw are physically fighting—in the hospital!" The words tumbled out in a panicked rush. I needed this call on record; if I didn't alert Jack now, Id inevitably be blamed later. Rachel had Mary pinned in what appeared to be restraint but was clearly designed to leave her vulnerable to Elizabeth's fury. Each time Mary attempted to break free, Rachel would jerk her b

    Anna's POV I stood frozen in the hospital corridor, my mind still reeling from Mary Simpson's venomous words. The phone trembled in my hand—Marcus still hadn't answered my video call. Each unanswered ring drove another shard of ice deeper into my heart. Suddenly, Rachel's panicked voice cut through my spiraling thoughts. "Ms. Shaw, your water broke!" I looked down in confusion. A clear liquid was pooling around my feet, soaking through my expensive maternity dress. My body had made the decision while my mind was paralyzed with fear. Rachel shoved Clayton's shoulder, her voice sharp with urgency. "What are you standing there for? Go get the doctor now!" Clayton snapped out of his shock and sprinted down the corridor, his footsteps echoing against the sterile walls. The surreal quality of the moment made everything seem distant, as if I were watching someone else's life unfold. The elevator doors slid open, and Mom rushed out, her face creased with worry. She spotted the

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    Chapter 246

    Anna's POV I stared at Marcus's latest message on my phone: "Okay." Just that. One word where normally he'd send paragraphs, asking about my comfort, the twins movements, or detailed instructions for my medical team. The brevity felt wrong, like a jarring note in our carefully established rhythm of communication. I'd sent him my latest prenatal results just an hour ago. His initial response had been slightly more forthcoming: "Looks like the babies are getting impatient. I'm wrapping up my work here and will be back soon." When I'd responded with reassurance that he should focus on work, this strange, abbreviated "Okay" arrived. _Something's not right._ Massaging my aching temples, I set the phone aside. The swelling in my legs had worsened over the past few days. making walking increasingly difficult. The doctors had also noted my occasional breathing difficulties, recommending supplemental oxygen to ensure the twins weren't deprived. Yet that single word bothered me

    His eyes darkened dangerously. I should have recognized the warning, but years of resentment had made me reckless. The slap came without warning, the crack of his palm against my cheek echoing in our bedroom. My head snapped sideways, shock momentarily paralyzing me. "You struck me?" I whispered, raising trembling fingers to my burning skin. In these years of marriage, through countless arguments and disappointments, he had never once raised a hand to me. George's lips curved into a cruel smile. "What now? Going to run crying to daddy Murphy? Don't bother. They've got bigger problems than you right now." Something in his tone sent ice through my veins. "What are you talking about?" He watched me with predatory satisfaction. "Marcus is dead. That news will reach the Murphy family soon enough. Let's see if your father, who always favored everyone over you, can withstand this blow." "What did you say?" The room spun around me, gravity suddenly unreliable. "Marcus is... de

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    Chapter 244

    Anna's POV I traced idle patterns on my swollen belly, smiling as one of the twins responded with a forceful kick against my palm. This silent conversation had become our daily ritual, these precious moments of connection before they entered the world. "Marcus, today can you do a video call? I want to show you my belly-the babies seem more active than ever," I asked softly, hoping to finally see his face after days of just hearing his voice. "Not convenient right now. I'm in a meeting. Later, alright?" His voice sounded tired but still carried that warmth reserved only for me. I swallowed my disappointment, forcing brightness into my voice. 'Sure... you go ahead with your work. Take care of yourself." As I hung up, a sigh escaped my lips while something cold and uneasy slithered through my chest. The past week had followed the same pattern—Marcus answering calls but never available for video. It wasn't like him, but I kept my concerns locked away, unwilling to voice them

    Anna's POV "You didn't notice yesterday?" I countered, amused by his theatrics. He shrugged dramatically. "Why would I be staring at your stomach? Are you really pregnant or just putting on weight?" His hand reached out toward my belly. I slapped it away immediately. "Don't touch." Despite

    Marcus's POV I crouched down and yanked the rag from Doyle's mouth, maintaining a calculated distance. His response was predictable a glob of saliva launched in my direction. I sidestepped it with practiced ease, my expression unchanged while disgust and cold fury bubbled beneath the surface. P
