One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 168
168JOHN’S POV.I looked at him, and saw the glee spark in his eyes, followed by the content smile.“Once more, enjoy your meal.” I stressed. There was no way I was about to give him the satisfaction of him knowing he had managed to get me curious, and a little anxious.“Aren’t you curious to know what it is?” He asked, cocking his head to the side.“Not at all. Enjoy your meal.” I replied, and left him sitting there. As I walked away, I felt completely uneasy. I knew Lopez wasn’t just a businessman as he was known in his city. He definitely had some shady business going on. However, I wasn’t going to give him his satisfaction just yet.In fact, if whatever he took was not going to bring more money to me, then he could take it because I could not see myself dropping two hundred, and fifty million dollars. It was just way too much. My company would collapse.Back in my office, I explained everything that happened to Landon and Rebal, and they sat with me.“It can’t possibly be.” Landon

167EMILY’S POV.My eyes searched his, wanting to see if he really was the only one in front of me.“I’m back.” He said, raising a hand to my cheek, and my tears rolled down rapidly.“Lucas.” I said out loud, and that was it. That was all it took for it to shatter.My eyes fluttered open slowly, and a tear rolled from my left eye into my right.My pillow was wet already with my tears, and I raised my hand to my heart, which seemed alive in a way it had never been ever since Lucas left. A sob broke through my lips, and I began to cry on the bed, feeling the pain wash through my chest in waves.Why would I have such a dream when I hadn’t had one in months? Why would such a dream torment me? Already, I was having such a hard time coping.I turned into the bed, and my cries became muffled. Why didn’t the dream last longer? Why didn’t he hold, and hug me? Just why did I have to speak out, and have my own voice bring me back to reality? It wasn’t fair.After a round of tears, I washed my fa

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
