Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Drooling
The hospital room smelled of antiseptic and quiet hope.Layla sat beside Nadia’s bed, her chair pulled close enough that she could hold her sister’s hand without stretching. The monitors beeped steadily — a soft, rhythmic sound that had become strangely comforting over the past hours. Nadia’s face was still pale, her breathing slow but steady under the oxygen mask. The bandages around her abdomen were clean and white, a stark contrast to the blood Layla still saw every time she closed her eyes.Chloe sat on the other side of the bed, legs crossed, trying her best to fill the heavy silence with normalcy. She had been there with Elgin since early morning before Layla came.“You know,” Chloe said, a small teasing smile tugging at her lips, “Elgin went to get food for us like twenty minutes ago. He’s probably fighting with the cafeteria lady right now. That boy takes his mission very seriously when it comes to feeding people.”Layla gave a faint smile, but it didn’t reach her eyes. She ke
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Crossing a line
Marcus paused at the door, his expression unreadable. He immediately closed the door behind him with a quiet click, leaving Elias alone in his spacious office with his secretary. Elias looked up slowly. His expression remained neutral at first, but as his eyes took in her appearance, they cooled noticeably. He leaned back in his chair, one hand resting on the armrest, fingers tapping once.“Serena,” he said, voice flat. “What is this?”She smiled, a slow, practiced smile meant to be seductive. She walked around the side of his desk, trailing her fingers lightly along the edge.“I’ve been thinking about you,” she confessed softly. “About how hard the last few days must have been. You’ve been carrying so much. I wanted to be here for you,in whatever way you need.”She stopped beside his chair, close enough that he could smell her perfume which was heavy. She leaned down slightly, giving him a clear view of her neckline.“I know you’ve been distracted with… her,” she continued, her voi
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Tempt
The next morning,sunlight filtered weakly through the curtains of Layla’s room. She woke up slowly, her body heavy and aching. For a few seconds, she lay still, staring at the familiar ceiling. Then reality crashed back in. Her parents were gone and Nadia was in the hospital. The house felt too big, too empty, too wrong. She sat up, rubbed her face, and forced herself out of bed. She freshened up in the bathroom — brushed her teeth, washed her face with cold water and changed into simple black clothes. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time, then carried her bag and left the house without eating. The drive to the hospital was quiet. She sat in the back of the car Elias had left for her, staring out the window. When she arrived, she went straight to Nadia’s ward. Chloe and Elgin were already there. Chloe looked exhausted, her eyes swollen from yesterday's crying.Elgin sat beside her, looking equally drained but trying to be strong for both girls. The moment Layla wa
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Silence
Margaret’s face went deathly pale.“No… please… don’t take me… I didn’t do anything… please!”She begged incoherently as rough hands grabbed her arms and hauled her to her feet. Her legs barely supported her. She cried harder, pleading, falling apart completely in front of her son.“I don’t want to die… please… I’ll do anything… I have money… I can give you whatever you want… please don’t do this…”Her words spilled over each other in a frantic, pathetic stream. Tears streamed down her ruined face, cutting clean paths through the mascara and dirt.Liam was pushed down beside her.He didn’t fight or shout. He just sat there, slumped against the chair, breathing slowly and deliberately, like he was trying to hold onto the last fragile piece of control he had left in this world.Margaret turned to him, eyes wide and filled with raw terror.“Liam… please… say something… do something… you’re my son…”He didn’t look at her at first.Then, slowly — painfully — he turned his head. His bloodsh
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Your fault
The warehouse felt colder now,like something important had just been taken out of it—and what remained was nothing but aftermath. Margaret sat on the floor. Her back pressed against the wall,her hands still trembling,her breathing uneven. She hadn’t stopped shaking since they dragged her out of that room,since they separated her from Ross,and since she heard the door close behind him. She knew,even without seeing or hearing. She knew Ross was gone. “No…” she whispered to herself. Her voice cracked. “He can’t just—he can’t—” Her words dissolved into broken breaths because deep down— She understood something she didn’t want to accept. Ross had always lived by power and men like him didn’t beg or survive mercy. Just then, A sudden sound of chains made her flinch. Across the room, Liam sat slumped against the metal chair they had forced him into. His wrists were bound tightly in front of him, ankles chained to the legs of the chair. His head hung low, dark hair f

The words hung in the air between them. Layla didn’t respond right away. Her fingers twitched slightly at her sides. Then, slowly, she turned. Her eyes met his and for the first time since the gunshots tore her life apart, he saw the emptiness clearly. “Is it?” she asked. Her voice was soft and flat. Elias held her gaze. “Yes.” A long pause stretched between them. Layla tilted her head slightly, as if testing the weight of his answer. “As simple as that?” There was something in her tone now,not confusion or disbelief. Just… distance,like she was observing her own life from outside her body. Elias didn’t answer immediately because he knew the truth — nothing about this was simple. Nothing about any of this had ever been simple. Layla looked away from him. Her gaze drifted down the long corridor, toward the exit, toward a world that no longer felt like hers. “My mom is still dead,” she said quietly,each word landing slowly, deliberately. “My dad is still gone. My sister is

Layla turned quickly and saw Elias standing in the door. Her heart jumped when she saw him. He stood in the doorway, one hand resting casually against the frame, but there was nothing casual about the way he was watching her.His expression was calm which meant he had definitely heard something.La
Seven Minutes with my Ex's Uncle Dangerous confidence
The words fell quietly between them but they carried weight. Layla blinked,not because she had expected him to say he loved her but because hearing him say he might never love her made something in her chest tighten. “I’m not asking you to,” she said after a moment. “I know.” His voice remai

Layla pushed him back fully onto the mattress. Elias fell against the bed, eyes blazing, watching her like a man who had finally decided to stop holding back and still thinking about the word “Oldie”Layla climbed onto the bed slowly,hovering over him. She unbuttoned his belt first,then stepped bac

Night came slowly, stretching across the sky like ink spilled over silk.Layla stood in front of her mirror, brushing out her hair after her shower, the faint scent of vanilla clinging to her skin. She had taken extra time freshening up—longer than necessary, if she was honest. A soft cream sweater
