All Chapters of A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle: Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

BLAKEI reclined in my office seat, propping my legs up on the table. This wasn’t how I expected my day to go, but here I was. I scrolled through my phone with cautious eyes as I hummed a familiar tune—a song that Ava and I used to sing together.Over the past few days, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn’t get her out of my head. She was perfect for me—the one.And I knew that I fucked up. I knew that I made her hurt in so many ways, but that was the least of my intentions. All I ever wanted was for her to feel safe with me, but like I always did, I’d ruined it all in one go.My stomach grumbled in uneasiness as I navigated back to my profile to check the engagement post. Although Ava wanted it gone, I still decided to keep it up. I didn’t want to take it down. No, I wanted the world to know that she was mine, and I was hers.She could’ve requested anything else, but as far as I was concerned, the post wasn’t coming down. I scrolled up and searched for the post. It was supposed to b

AVA“Wow, it’s beautiful.” I breathed to myself as my hands dancing over the exquisite fabric.I about to take the dress off of the hanger when I watched another hand appear in the line of my vision only to snatch the dress away from my hands.“Okay, what the actual hell?” I said in surprise, turning to see the face of the one who nearly ripped out my manicure in the rudest way possible.“That dress is mine.” I immediately went on to add, staring at the lady in annoyance.“But I got to it first,” she sneered, dangling the dress right in front of my face.I was about to say something else when I began to notice how familiar the face was. I definitely saw this face at the wedding with Alexander.Wasn’t this Alexander’s niece? What was her name again? Lilian?Lilith!Now realizing it was indeed her. I let go of the dress, although not in the least satisfied with whatever was happening regardless of what the coincidence may be.“Lillith? What are you doing here?” I asked.“What are you do

AVA“I had sex with Alexander.”The words hung in my mind, unspoken yet so vivid. I could almost hear myself say them out loud. What would Blake’s face look like if I actually said it aloud? Would his perfect composure finally crack? Would he feel a fraction of the gut-wrenching pain I experienced when I caught him with Chloe?I imagined him hardening his knuckles on the steering wheel, the muscle in his jaw twitching the way it did whenever he was truly furious. Maybe he'd slam on the brakes, yell at me and demand to know every detail just to torture himself with it. The thought gave me a twisted sense of satisfaction. That feeling of letting him know what it felt like to be the one left wondering. How it felt to be the one picturing someone else’s hands on the person they loved.But the words remained trapped behind my clenched teeth.Not because I cared about sparing his feelings, but because something inside me refused to turn Alexander into a weapon.Whatever had happened between

AVAI walked into the anniversary venue and immediately felt the weight of all the stares Theon my way. I was wearing the midnight blue dress I ordered online, which was a small miracle considering I paid an obscene amount for express delivery after the boutique incident with Lilith.The dress clung to my curves and the fabric whispered against my skin as I moved, its thigh-high slit revealing just enough leg to make a statement without crossing into tasteless territory.The chandelier lights caught the subtle shimmer woven through the material, creating an effect that made me look like I was draped in liquid starlight. My hair fell in loose waves around my shoulders; nothing elaborate, but elegant enough for the occasion. I also kept my makeup understated, except for a bold red lip.I scanned the crowded ballroom, chin raised whilst knowing people mere staring at me. I just watched a man walk into a waiter whilst being unable to take his eyes off me.Blake invited me here after all.

ALEXANDERI spotted Ava the moment she walked in. It’s not hard to, with that midnight blue dress of hers demanding attention, just like the woman wearing it.“As I was saying, the merger should be finalized by quarter's end,” the man across from me continued despite my distraction with Ava.I nodded as he spoke as though I was listening even while tracking her through the crowd. Then I suddenly saw Charles grab her arm and lead her away.“Is anything wrong, sir?” The man asked me.“No.” I relaxed my expression. “I simply noticed something that requires my attention now. It was good hearing from you. We'll continue this conversation next week.”We shook hands, and I watched him disappear into the crowd, immediately replaced by Cedric, who leaned against the bar beside me.“You seem more concerned about your nephew's girlfriend than your own,” he remarked, swirling amber liquid in a crystal tumbler.“Sara is not my girlfriend,” I stated flatly.Cedric raised an eyebrow. “What did I mis
