One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle Chapter 273
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

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

Oliver's POV I drummed my fingers against the polished table, scanning the faces of the five family representatives gathered in this isolated meeting room. Torres sat at the head of the table, his meticulously trimmed beard twitching slightly as he outlined Marcus Murphy's European business territories. "Gentlemen, our alliance has flourished under Mr. Murphy's leadership," Torres declared, his voice echoing off the navy blue walls of our Atlantic coastline hideaway. "The question now is how we proceed given recent... uncertainties." A chill slithered down my spine. These "uncertainties" were carefully chosen words to describe Marcus's supposed death. Only Torres and I knew the truth. The conference room door crashed open with such force that the crystal glasses on the sidebar rattled. Doyle strode in, flanked by armed men with semiautomatic weapons trained on us. My blood froze when three of our supposed allies immediately stood and crossed to Doyle's side. "Gentlemen," T

Anna's POV At the mention of Lucy's name, I took the tablet from Rachel's hands and carefully scrolled through the photos again. The angles were deliberately misleading—in one, Samuel appeared to be whispering intimately in my ear; in another, a dismissive glance I'd thrown his way had been captur

Anna's POV "Logan?" I gaped in shock, momentarily forgetting how to respond. My brain short-circuited as I stared at the man across the table. "How the hell is it you?" Logan chuckled, his eyes wandering over my severe business attire, tight bun, and black-framed glasses. His lips twitched. "Dre

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

Marcus's POV I sat in silence, nursing a cold cup of coffee. The doorbell rang. Peter returned moments later with Daniel Davis. "Mr. Murphy, Ms. Shaw instructed me to deliver this card to you. It contains the money for the historic building and the fees you paid at the charity auction," Daniel sa
