Semua Bab A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle: Bab 21 - Bab 30

The atmosphere was as pensive as it could get and my glare could have burned holes through Sara's perfect facade as she turned those innocent, pleading eyes towards Alexander. She clung to his arm like a particularly stubborn vine, playing innocent with those practiced doe eyes. The manipulation was so obvious it made me sick. Even after all she'd done, she was trying to escape the consequences.“Still waiting for that explanation,” I said, taking a deliberate step forward.Sara's minion immediately moved to block me, like some kind of designer-clad bodyguard. How quickly they'd gone from bragging about their superiority to cowering behind each other. The image of them injecting Fudge earlier still burned in my mind and the way they laughed about it afterwards like it was nothing.The silence stretched heavy and uncomfortable. Cedric kept shaking his head in disappointment and I could only imagine how displeased he was. But I noticed how his eyes kept darting to Alexander, waiting for

I watched Alexander’s back as he retreated, moving further and further away from me. There was a sinking feeling in my gut, like I’d just made the biggest mistake of my life. I was scared. There were a million scenarios that could’ve happened right there. I needed to douse the fire that threatened to burn everything down.“Why did Alexander come here? You brought him?!” Blake yelled, completely furious.“No,” I retorted, keeping a straight face. “He must’ve come to see you.”Blake scoffed, shaking his head. “You really think I’m a fool, don’t you?”I glared at him, amazed by his audacity. I began to question why I was trying to hide Alexander. I wasn’t even in any explicit relationship with him. Blake, on the other hand, was as shameless as a pig. In fact, I’d broken up with him. There was absolutely nothing between us.“Wait a minute,” I said, lifting a palm. “You’re suspecting me, right?”“You haven’t given me a reason not to.”It was my turn to scoff. I placed my hands on my hips.

AVAI finally set up all my boxes in my apartment. There was still a lot to do, so I needed to make a proper schedule that would accommodate everything. I decided to get some groceries first so I could have food at home while I worked. In the next hour, I rushed to the grocery store and stuffed my cart with groceries ranging from vegetables, juices, cereals, pastries, and the likes.Finally, I checked out at the counter and drove back home. The supplies were a lot to carry. My fingers were looped through several plastic bags as I struggled to walk through the corridor. I'd been given my own pass card, which allowed me access to most facilities. As I neared the elevator, in the corner of my eyes, I saw Alexander walk towards me.I almost rolled my eyes again, but I didn’t. I never expected that he'd still be around here. We got closer to the elevators and he went first with pressing the button while I struggled with the bags, hoisting one of the heavier ones under my arm.“Hi, I didn’t

AVAI'd spent the better part of my afternoon preparing for Cedric's visit. It was I who invited him earlier on. My heart was floating with a kind of pure joy that I had not experienced in quite a long time. But things were changing now. Everything in my life had shifted so dramatically since my first promotion. I now had a company car that now sat in my driveway, my impressively tripled salary, and even my very own personal assistant.Sure, I spent my childhood being surrounded by privilege and never wanted for anything, but this feeling was entirely different and almost intoxicating. This success was mine alone. I earned it by merit and not by privilege, so not a soul could diminish this victory. Not even Blake with all his manipulations, not Chloe with her schemes.I was bubbling around the house as I set up everything like I knew exactly what I was doing. It was a good thing I had hosted Alexander before so I could say I was a bit experienced in impressing a billionaire. The silve

Sniffling hard, I got up and rushed out of the front door, shaking with fear.Grandma needed to be at the hospital as soon as possible. My heart pounded in my chest, and tears burned my eyes even as I squinted ahead at the driveway as the rain kept pouring down. The spot where I parked my car was empty.I rushed down the porch, instantly getting drenched while I frantically looked around the compound but my car was gone.What the fuck? I shuddered.I ran out of the property to look on the street for some reason I thought I must have been seeing things but there wasn’t anything looking like my car in sight. There was very little time for me to process the mystery because grandma was all that was on my mind.Sprinting over to one of the neighbors’ houses, nearly slipping in the downpour, I pounded on the door.“Help! Anybody! Please, help!” I screamed at the top of my voice, hoping someone would hear me.I pulled my phone out of my pants pockets but it was drenched as well, luckily it w
