A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 101 - チャプター 110

AVA“You’re miles away,” Alexander’s breath stirring the hair near my temple.“Counting spreadsheet columns in your head again?”I smiled up at him, “Just thinking how surreal this is“The party? Or the fact that you actually said yes to marrying me.” His lips quirked up at one corner.I blushed like some romance novel heroine and rested my head on his shoulder, inhaling the scent of him as we danced.“All of it.”Alexander took the opportunity to spin me out, the skirt of my dress flaring around my legs before he pulled me back.As I twirled back into his arms, he dipped me low.“Show-off,” I whispered, but I was smiling so wide.“Only for you,” he replied and then he kissed me.The music ended just as he pulled me upright, and the room was loud in applause. I broke away from the kiss, suddenly remembering that we wer

The ShadowAVAI tied a silk scarf over my head and tucked loose strands of hair under the edges before stepping out of the taxi. The driver mumbled something about change, but I waved him off, eyes already looking around the park.“Keep it,” I said, shutting the door behind me and walking away.Central Park at dusk was beautiful in that melancholy autumn way. With trees half-bare, their remaining leaves stubbornly clinging to branches in bursts of gold and red. Under different circumstances, I might have appreciated the romance of it all, especially with my wedding just a few weeks away.But today, I wasn’t here for the scenery. I was here for serious business.I checked the time on my phone. It was 7:15. I was fifteen minutes early, which was deliberate. I needed time to settle, breathe and prepare myself for whatever information might come my way.I had spent the last twenty-four hours since Rachel showed me that article in a research frenzy. I dug through archives, made calls and

AVAAlexander stood rigid beside me, his attention fixed on the medical chart in his hands.“Potassium levels are critically elevated,” Alexander read slowly.“8.1 millimoles per liter. That’s fucking high.”The doctor nodded grimly.“Hyperkalemia of this severity is what triggered the cardiac arrest. We’ve administered calcium gluconate to protect her heart muscle and insulin with glucose to help move the potassium back into her cells, but we’re monitoring her closely. The next twenty-four hours will be critical.”I watched Alexander’s face tighten with worry. This was his sister lying in the ICU,“Has her husband Charles been reached? Is he aware?” Alexander asked.“We were able to reach out to his manager. They said he would be here as soon as he could.”Alexander clenched his jaw at this information, but he simply nodded.“Is there an estimation of the timeline for this buildup? This level of hyperkalemia doesn’t happen overnight.”The doctor took the chart from Alexander's hands.

BLAKEI had to stop him before anything stupid would happen. As much as I disliked my dad, I also loved him. It was a complicated emotion that defined our relationship for years. The knowledge of what my father was capable of had been a weight I carried in silence even though I wasn’t quick to distance myself from the family business and its darker underpinnings.The car I was following turned off the main road and drove deeper into the industrial district.I kept my own vehicle at a safe distance, lights off. I was only relying on dad’s tail lights to guide me through the abandoned warehouses.When dad’s car finally stopped outside a decrepit building with boarded windows and graffiti-covered walls, I pulled over several hundred yards away and cut the engine.I watched dad alight from the car with a duffel bag.I then waited until he disappeared inside before exiting my own vehicle. I made sure I was staying close to the shadows. There has been an article circulating about a crime da

AVAIt had been three days of unanswered calls and texts left unread from Blake. It seemed as if Blake vanished from earth.I drummed my fingers against my desk, staring at the email I just sent to Blake's assistant, who replied me that she had resigned from the office already. But from the other information I could gather he had not been in the office since Tuesday. That was the day before we found his face in the footage. Today was Friday.I got up from my desk and paced to the window.We tried his penthouse apartment first, but the doorman confirmed he hadn’t seen Blake days before. We checked up with his friends as well, and there was nothing.I had even contacted Claire, who confirmed she was in touch with Blake for some weeks after they met at the station but then she cut off communication some days earlier because an issue came up. I went to Instagram to refresh Blake’s account showed no activity since Monday. The last post he made was a photo of the city skyline at sunset. I s
