One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle Change 254
Anna's POV The morning light filtered through the blinds of my private hospital suite, casting golden stripes across the pristine white sheets. I gripped the metal rail of my IV stand, focusing on each careful step forward. Every movement sent a dull ache radiating from my abdomen, but I was determined to reach the nursery. "Easy does it, Ms. Shaw," the nurse encouraged, hovering nearby. "Just a few more steps." My fingers tightened around the pain pump button, though I resisted pressing it. The fog of medication made it harder to think clearly, and I needed my wits about me. Each shuffling step was a small victory against my body's protests. "They're doing wonderfully," the nurse chatted as we approached the viewing window. "Your little ones are quite the celebrities in the nursery." Behind the glass, two tiny bundles lay swaddled in the finest Egyptian cotton blankets—gifts from Grandpa William, of course. Benedict's shock of blonde hair was visible even from a distance.
One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle 253
Mary's POV The echo of Jack's footsteps faded down the hallway. I trembled with indignation, pointing toward the doorway he'd just exited. "He says I've embarrassed him! Has he forgotten everything I've done was for him?" My voice cracked with emotion. "Marcus Murphy has billions in assets, and now that he's dead, shouldn't his own nephew inherit at least a few hundred million?" Lucy's eyes widened momentarily, and I caught the flash of raw greed that passed through them before she quickly composed herself. _Even this social-climbing nobody can't resist the allure of that kind of money._ She leaned forward, her voice dropping to a conspiratorial whisper. "Mrs. Simpson, please don't say these things in front of Jack or any Murphy family member. Especially not William. Remember, even to inherit anything from Marcus, you'd need William's approval." I knew she was right, but just thinking about the Shaw family made my blood boil. The memory of that photograph I'd discovered
One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle Chapter 252
Elizabeth's POV As the Murphy family filed out of Anna's hospital room, I noticed Jack Simpson lingering behind. He'd been so quiet throughout the visit that his presence had been almost forgotten. Looking at him now, all the rage I felt toward Mary Simpson bubbled up again, burning through my chest like acid. "You should leave too," I said, my voice sharper than I'd ever heard it. "Annie needs rest." My feelings toward this former son-in- law were painfully complex. Jack himself wasn't evil—just a man who hadn't loved my daughter enough. But his mother? My fingers curled into fists at the mere thought of her. "I wanted to apologize on behalf of my mother," Jack said, his voice barely above a whisper. Something inside me snapped. The words erupted before I could temper them. "Your apology means nothing. Even if she knelt before us and begged forgiveness, it wouldn't matter." My voice trembled with unleashed fury. 'Tell your mother to cross the street if she sees me c
One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle Chapter 251
Anna's POV The bright lights of the operating room blurred above me as the anesthesia took effect. I heard the medical team's voices echoing as if from a great distance, clinical and precise. The physical sensations were strangely detached-pressure without pain, movement without feeling. "First baby coming out now," the surgeon announced. "It's a boy!" A thin cry pierced the haze of my consciousness. My son. The sound yanked me back from the edge of darkness where I'd been drifting, anchoring me to the present moment. "He's beautiful, Anna," Catherine whispered, her face appearing above mine. "Perfect. About 5.7 pounds." Before I could respond, another flurry of activity from the surgical team. "And here comes baby number two... it's a girl!" Her cry was softer than her brother's, but just as determined. I felt hot tears streaming down my temples, soaking into my hair. Catherine squeezed my hand, her own eyes glistening. 'They're both here," she said, voice thick with
One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle Chapter 250
Elizabeth's POV I paced the hospital corridor, each step more unsteady than the last. The harsh fluorescent lights amplified every shadow on my face as I stared at the imposing doors of the delivery room. Behind those doors, my daughter fought not just for her life, but for the lives of her unborn twins. "Mrs. Shaw?" A nurse emerged, her scrubs spattered with what I desperately hoped wasn't blood. "The twins are in breech position. We need to perform an emergency C-section immediately." My knees nearly buckled beneath me. "Then do it! Whatever it takes!" The nurse's expression darkened. "There's a complication. Ms. Shaw is extremely distressed and uncooperative. We can't proceed safely while she's in this state." Anna's agonized scream pierced through the swinging doors, sending ice through my veins. The sound was primal, raw-the cry of a wounded animal. My hand flew to my throat, which had suddenly constricted so tightly I could barely breathe. William Murphy approa
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
One Night Stand With My Ex’s Uncle The Price of Dignity
Anna's POV My spine stiffened instantly. "I'd rather not discuss Marcus Murphy." The mention of his name felt like salt in a wound that refused to heal. After his rejection in Europe, I'd locked away any lingering feelings, determined never to be that vulnerable again. Catherine quickly drew an

Anna's POV I took a deep breath, one hand unconsciously moving to my still-flat stomach. Tomorrow, I'd go to the hospital for official confirmation. For now, this would be my secret—a fragile, precious thing I needed to protect. "Miss Shaw?" Lily's voice interrupted my thoughts. I spun around,

Catherine's POV I sprawled across my desk, chin propped on my palm, staring at the delivery tracking app on my phone. Twenty-three minutes and counting My stomach growled in protest, but food wasn't what had me fidgeting in my ergonomic chair all day. The pregnancy test photo Anna sent me glo

Peter's POV I accepted the elegantly wrapped boxes from the security guard, examining the expensive health supplements and Christmas gifts with a skeptical eye. The packaging alone screamed luxury-handcrafted paper with embossed gold trim and a silk ribbon that probably cost more than what most
