One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle Chapter 274
Jack's POV "Who would do such a thing? Who?" Mother's voice trembled, her perfectly manicured hand clutching at her pearl necklace. I watched her panicked expression with a strange flicker of satisfaction. For the first time in years, Mary Simpson displayed genuine fear instead of her usual calculated disdain. 'Take a guess," I drawled, dragging out each syllable. "How am I supposed to know?" Her eyes darted frantically as her mind raced through the list of Simpson family enemies. The fact that such a list existed spoke volumes about our family's true legacy in Skyview City. Lucy shifted uncomfortably beside Mother, her voice barely above a whisper. "Jack, was it.. Anna?" "Anna Shaw?" Mother froze at the name, her face draining of what little color remained. "Has she lost her mind? How dare she?" I stared directly into Mother's eyes, unexpected fury surging through me. For decades, the Simpsons had trampled over anyone who stood in their way, never once considering t

Jack's POV The bitter November wind cut through my designer coat as I stepped out of the car, scanning the abandoned industrial area. Anna's cryptic words echoed in my mind: "George is being held in the south district. Not far from the Industrial Park warehouse that mysteriously caught fire this afternoon." "Jack, over here!" Calvin's voice carried across the barren landscape. His flashlight beam bobbed wildly, illuminating something that made my blood freeze. I sprinted across the uneven ground, nearly twisting my ankle on the frozen dirt. The sight that greeted me knocked the air from my lungs-my father and Pax Powell tied to separate trees, shirtless in the frigid night air, their coats discarded just beyond reach. "Jesus Christ," Luke whispered beside me, his breath forming clouds in the freezing air. My father's head hung limply, his usually commanding presence reduced to a terrifying stillness. His skin had taken on a bluish tinge that sent panic racing through my vein

Pax's POV The duct tape ripped away from my mouth, taking what felt like several layers of skin with it. The stinging pain barely registered through the numbness that had already claimed my face. "Help! Is anybody there? Help us!" My voice cracked as it echoed across the empty field, swallowed by the vast indifference of the abandoned industrial zone. The temperature had plummeted since Anna Shaw's people had left us here, bound to separate trees like sacrifices to some vengeful god. My thin sweater might as well have been tissue paper against the knife-edge wind that sliced through it. "Mr. Simpson, what should we do?" I called out, teeth chattering so violently I feared they might crack. No response came from the slender tree where my employer was secured. "Mr. Simpson? Sir! Can you hear me?" His head hung limply, chin resting against his chest. The sight sent ice water coursing through my veins that had nothing to do with the cold. He was significantly older than me, wi

Lucy's POV Without another word, he stood and walked out, his movements quick as it escaping a trap. The door closed behind him with a decisive click that made Mary flinch. Her face paled with anger, eyes flashing. "How did I raise such an ungrateful child? Everything I do is for his benefit!" I maintained my calm exterior while my mind calculated. My difficult years back home had taught me valuable lessons-self-preservation must come first. Those lessons were etched into my soul with scars I'd never show anyone. I approached Mary, speaking in a gentle tone: "Mrs. Simpson, please don't upset yourself. Jack has been working at the office since yesterday. He knows what he's doing." Mary's eyes snapped to mine, her expression shifting as she registered my words. "At the office? Not just searching for that baby?" "He's balancing both," I explained, careful to keep my voice neutral. "With everything happening with Mr. Simpson, Jack understands the importance of maintaining a p

Anna's POV "Annie, our son is back with me," Marcus said, his voice carrying through the speaker with a slight tremor I'd never heard before. I clapped my hand over my mouth to muffle the sob threatening to escape. Sophia was sleeping peacefully in the bassinet, and I couldn't risk waking her. Tears streamed down my face unchecked as Marcus adjusted the camera to give me a better view of our son. "Is he—" My voice cracked. "Is he okay?" Marcus nodded, his expression softening as he looked down at Benedict. "He had a mild case of pneumonia, but it's clearing up well. The doctor says he'll make a full recovery." My throat constricted like someone had wrapped a steel wire around it. Pneumonia. My newborn had been sick, and I hadn't been there to comfort him. The weight of my failure pressed against my chest until breathing felt like pushing against concrete. "I hired the best pediatric specialist and a professional nanny," Marcus continued, seemingly reading my thoughts

Marcus's POV My eyes locked on the small bundle in the gunman's arms. Every heartbeat felt like thunder in my ears as I stared at what Id risked everything for-my son, my blood, the living proof of Anna's and my love. "Who knows if this is actually Marcus's child? We should check," Torres muttered cautiously beside me. I ignored him, my focus unwavering. The armed men surrounding us raised their weapons, but they might as well have been holding toy guns for all I surged through me like wildfire. "Hand him over," I commanded, my voice glacial. Oliver stood beside me, his eyes blazing with reluctant acquiescence. I understood his frustration—we'd spent two months orchestrating this trap for Doyle, only to let the bastard walk because of my son. Doyle limped forward, his wounded leg dragging slightly. The smug satisfaction in his eyes made my fingers itch for a trigger. The weight of my son in my arms sent a rush of emotion through me-joy tangled with fury. Benedict was s

Anna's POV "No, I haven't," I shook my head in response to Logan's question about the Simpson invitation, then thought for a moment before asking, "Have you received one, Logan?" Logan nodded, his expression as measured as ever. "Yes, just today. From what I understand, not only have families cl

Rachel’s POVBy the time we arrived at Rosa Villa, Marcus's breathing had grown more labored, and Anna's composed facade was beginning to crack around the edges. I parked as close to the entrance as possible, then rushed to open the back door."I'll prepare a guest room," I said, hurrying ahead to
