Anna's POV

I exhaled deeply, deciding to be honest with Oscar. "You're right. I actually did fall from a building."

Oscar's face immediately transformed, his expression hardening with concern.

"What the hell, Anna? Are you out of your mind? What did you do this time?"

I couldn't stand his motherly fussing.

"Nothing," I said dismissively. "I'm kidding. It was just a fall." His skeptical expression amused me, but I didn't feel like explaining. I glanced around the room, suddenly noticing someone was missing. "Where's Uncle Marcus? I don't see him."

Oscar let out a cold snort. "Your uncle dropped you off and disappeared.

Probably left already."

The attending physician prescribed an anti-inflammatory spray, and was about to write a prescription for scar removal cream when Oscar intercepted. "We don't need that. I have some at home."

The doctor smiled at me. "When your boyfriend is a doctor, why even come to the hospital? He could've treated you at home."

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    You Should Go Back

    Anna's POV Peter shifted uncomfortably, his professional demeanor cracking under my scrutiny. "Miss Shaw, Mr. Murphy specifically asked me not to worry you with unnecessary details." "I'm already worried," I snapped, gesturing at his injured arm. "Spill it. Now." He sighed in defeat. "Mr. Murphy wasn't attacked. He's completely fine." Relief flooded through me so intensely my knees nearly buckled. "He wasn't hurt?" "No, Miss Shaw. Mr. Murphy is uninjured." Peter's voice softened slightly. "He didn't want you to know because he thought you'd blame yourself, given that he was out getting your favorite dessert." The relief was quickly replaced by confusion and concern. "Then what happened to you?" Peter shrugged his good shoulder, trying to appear nonchalant. "Just some street thugs. They kicked me once, causing a minor fracture. It's nothing serious." "Nothing serious?" I stared at him incredulously. "Someone attacked you and you call that nothing serious? What were they after

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    Silent Glances

    Anna's POV I'm not afraid of being the subject of gossip. Over the years, I've collected enough rumors and whispers to fill a small library, and I've developed a thick skin as a result. Standing in the grand hall of the Olympus Club, I could feel eyes on me from every direction, but none of it could shake me. My mind drifted to a scene from a few years back—a wealthy Skyview City socialite had mistaken me for her husband's mistress and burst into Shaw Tower with security in tow. The man had somehow obtained photos of me, causing his wife to seek me out. In the end, I sued him for sexual harassment and won a million-dollar settlement. I split the money evenly, sharing half with the employees who had helped me through the ordeal, while treating myself to several limited-edition handbags with the remainder. This was one of the many reasons Mary Simpson disapproved of me-in her eyes, a "proper" society woman shouldn't be so assertive. My thoughts were interrupted as Marcus Murphy retur

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    Whispers at Olympus Club

    Anna's POV The wind rushed past me as I fell, my heart thundering in my chest. I'd braced myself for the inevitable painful impact, eyes squeezed shut, when suddenly I felt myself collide with something solid yet yielding. Not concrete, but arms-strong arms that caught me with such force that the air was knocked from my lungs. I finally dared to open my eyes, and found myself staring at a perfect jawline, then into Marcus Murphy's bottomless dark eyes. A strange flutter of excitement rose in my chest. "Uncle Marcus?" I asked tentatively, unable to hide the relief and unexpected joy in my voice. "Did you catch me? I already hurt my arm jumping from the third floor to the second-floor terrace—if it weren't for you, I would've been much worse off." Marcus's face was ashen, his expression hard as stone as he stared down at me. I couldn't read what was hidden in that gaze, but I could feel the anger radiating from him. His silence was more intimidating than any words could have bee

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    Defiant Leap

    Anna's POV I peered out the window of the Olympus Club's third-floor rest room, assessing the situation. While we were undeniably high up, I noticed a decorative terrace jutting out between the first and second floors. That buffer might just make the jump survivable instead of suicidal. But I couldn't possibly leap out wearing only a towel —that would create an even more impossible-to-explain scenario than being discovered with Jack. I turned back to find Jack still standing there, seemingly transfixed. His gaze lingered on my legs, an almost palpable heat that made my skin crawl with both anger and discomfort. The irony wasn't lost on me-when we were married, he barely noticed me, but now that we were divorced, here he was, practically devouring me with his eyes. I snatched up my damp dress from the counter and shot him a glare. "Turn around," I commanded, my voice sharp as glass. Jack blinked, as if emerging from a trance. "What for?" My patience, already hanging by a thre

  • One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle    Locked with My Mistake

    Jack's POV I pushed open the rest room door, expecting to find anyone but her. Anna stood there with nothing but a white towel wrapped around her body, her shoulders still damp in the light. The towel barely reached mid-thigh, exposing the legs. My mouth went dry. The air between us crackled, and I felt my body responding in ways I couldn't control. "I..." The word stumbled out, and I realized I was *stuttering*. Jack Simpson, heir to one of Skyview City's most powerful families, reduced to incoherence by the sight of his ex-wife in a towel. Anna's eyes widened, then narrowed. Her hand tightened around the towel where it was tucked above her chest. "What the hell are you doing here?" she demanded, backing up. "This is the women's rest room! Get out!" I struggled to remember why I'd come looking for her. The heat rising up my neck was unbearable. "You need to leave. Now." She motioned toward the door, her face flushing with anger—or was it embarrassment? "Annie, I need to talk
