One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 166
166JOHN’S POV.“Who the heck did this!? Who did it?” I asked, getting to my feet. I stared at the video. It had happened just minutes ago. How did someone manage to film the whole thing?The video had started when we were already out of the elevator. It felt like the person had been waiting for the moment I’d slip up, so they could make their move, and then they had gotten their patience’s worth.Storming away from behind my desk, I made to walk right out of my office, and confront the employees. They would all lose their jobs if they couldn’t provide me with the one who filmed the video.However, Landon dashed to the door, getting there before I could.He shook his head, “No, Alpha John, you have to be reasonable for this.”“Get out of the way.” I growled.“You must think deeply, Alpha John.” Rebal contributed. “We are at a disadvantage here. If you go out there, and assault more employees, or fire them, then we’re doomed. We don’t know the person who filmed you in the first place.

165JOHN’S POV.Nothing was going fine. Everything seemed to become worse by the day. Emily had become a shadow of herself. She wasn’t the lady I loved, and I deeply wished to see the lady I fell in love with.The Emily I knew, was always smiling. Her smile was beautiful, and her dark eyes always seemed to be glowing, hiding a whole new world underneath it. That was the lady I had loved.The Emily I had loved, fawned over me, and no one else. There was no Lucas in her heart. I alone, occupied her head, but over the years, she had suddenly become someone else.Every night, the past haunted me, and it felt like everyone I knew was laughing at me. Slowly, I was losing everyone I cared about, and everyone who cared about me.Like I would never get what I wanted, but that was a lie. I was going to get Emily. If I couldn’t get her, then no one else would. She was mine and mine alone.“Alpha John.” Landon said, walking into my office.“What?” I asked, dropping the blank sheet I had been star

164EMILY’S POV.All sound was blocked out immediately I was submerged in the water. Bubbles came swimming out as my hair clouded around my face.I shook, pulled, and struggled to free myself from the ropes, but they were too firm. My whole life seemed to flash right in front of my eyes, like the pages of a book. I could imagine John leaving me to die, then I’d be discovered the next morning when the pool was drained of water.A white, lifeless corpse. Then the children would cry, so would the maids, Dahlia would be unable to bear it, and if Lucas returned…If he found out… he would be so broken. The thought of him crying forced me to fight, even though it seemed impossible. How badly I wanted to breathe. I was so scared, sinking to the bottom all by myself.Just then, someone took me by the arms, trying to raise me. It was Derel. Hope flared within my chest, and he struck out his claws, tearing at the ropes that bound me. A few times he scratched me, but who cared? I wasn’t going to

163EMILY’S POV.A whole year had passed, and my worth in John’s eyes had completely reduced. Fueled by the anger from the realization that he could no longer get me, and that he had lost his chance to become something other than someone I hated, he had become a real monster.My only comfort was the diary I updated daily, squeezing all my sadness and pain into it, although most of the pages were either filled with Lucas’ name, or the simple phrase ‘I miss you.’He no longer came into my dreams, and it seemed like he had been a dream, and I wondered if I’d really known someone like him.The seasons had gone by—Spring, Summer, Fall and Winter.Those seasons had seen me deteriorate from a secretary to a maid. John had put the cooks up to different task, and I was in charge of making breakfast, lunch, dinner, and even snacks that he desired at random times.I’d wash his clothes all by myself, scrub whatever room he wanted me to scrub, and after an exhausting day, he’d climb into my bed, a

162EMILY’S POV.When I awoke, Kaye was looking down at me, with a bowl of porridge in a tray. Sadness filled her eyes when they met mine, and I winced as I tried to sit up.“Careful.” She said, dropping the tray onto the floor, so she could help me sit.Then, she picked it up, and placed it on my lap.“I didn’t think I’d ever see fear on Alpha John’s face.” She said softly, spooning porridge onto the spoon.I opened my mouth, which felt dry and cracked, and received the porridge. It was warm, and that warmth filled me.“Immediately he slammed you into the wall, and saw the blood, he panicked. Then, he finally looked like a sane man, who could actually feel for someone. He picked you up in his arms, and called on us to see if you were okay. Then he had us treat you, while pacing around.” She said, feeding me another spoon.“He’s dooming himself to the point of no return.” I replied, and Kaye touched my cheek.“You used to smile so much. Emily, everyone is on your side. When you helped

161EMILY’S POV.I could not believe John could be so cold, even after hearing Dahlia got into an accident. How could he be so cold?For a while, I paced around my room, with my thumb in my mouth, getting crushed by my teeth.Immediately I heard a car leaving, I ran to my toilet, which had a window, from which I could see the front of the house.I climbed the bathtub, and rose on tiptoes to see who had gone out. It was John’s car. Forgetting his order, I dashed out of my room, and went down the stairs, but stopped, as I saw the three men who always followed me around.Did John tell them he didn’t want me going out?I decided to go casual. Sadie and Jude were by the pool, sitting with their legs in the water.“Sadie. Jude.” I called, walking towards them.“Emily.” They both called.“I… someone I know got into an accident.” I began, trying to rush my words. Worried sick about Dahlia, every second I spent at the mansion felt like a waste.“What?” Jude asked in alarm.“John wouldn’t let m
