All Chapters of ONE NIGHT STAND WITH EX'S UNCLE: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

PrologueHer blue sapphire eyes opened, meeting only darkness. Her heart raced when her fingers pressed into the soft bed beneath her. It felt cozy, but strange. She remembered stepping out of the car, holding her sparkling gown while leaving for her engagement but what happened next she didn’t remember.A loud scratch came from the door, making her body shake. She gripped the sheets, scared. “Who’s there?” she yelled. “What the fuck do you want from me? Why did you bring me here.." Footsteps grew closer. The air around her filled with that familiar,spicy smell- His smell. Her hands tightened on the sheets. Her breath hitched. "Theo, is that you?" She fumbled. The lights flicked on, blinding her.“You awake, my darling?” Theodore asked, leaning closer. Aria’s body shivered.She was in a fancy room, with velvet curtains and a shiny chandelier. This wasn’t right. She should be at her engagement, with her fiancé, her family. Not here, with him.Her chin was held by his hard fingers, an

Her eyes locked into his. His face was familiar yet stranger. He was striking, sharp features dark hair- still damp. “What are you staring at?” he said, sipping coffee as if she were a nuisance. “You have sold your body for one night and I screw you. Take that money and leave. It has more than you have asked for." The man’s words stung her like a slap.Aria's nostrils flared. Aria’s nose flared, her heart racing with anger and hurt. He thought she was a prostitute, but worse, his words reminded her of how men treated her mother. She stood tall, refusing to back down.“Can you explain why you are allergic to women like me?” She gulped and dared to ask him. “If you think I’m disgusting for selling my body, aren’t you worse for buying it? Trading money for flesh?” Her words hit hard.The man’s thick brows furrowed. No one dared to ask him anything like that, but before he could answer her, she placed the envelope on the table and without saying anything, she walked out by slamming the

“Aria, come meet him!” Peter’s voice boomed with excitement. She forced a shaky smile and stepped forward, but that haunting spicy scent slammed into her like a tidal wave. Her body froze and rooted to the spot like a statue. The man turned and Aria’s heart lurched, nearly bursting from her chest.Theodore’s eyes turned to daggers, pinning her with a stare that could shatter glass. From the moment he’d sat with these kids, all they’d yammered about was Aria. Her innocence, her quiet nature. He’d scoffed at the idea of such a pure soul existing in this rotten world. But hearing more, he’d felt a flicker of relief that his niece and nephew kept decent company. Now, seeing her, that flicker died.“Uncle Theo was about to leave, but we insisted that he meet you too.” Rhea chirped, her eyes glinting with mischief.Aria couldn’t move, couldn’t breathe. Sit at a table with her boyfriend and the man she’d slept with two weeks ago? Her legs trembled, but Theodore’s voice cut through her panic

The thread almost reached her lower back. Theodore clenched his fist and killed the urge to fix her clothes. “Why would I care about it? Even if she is dancing naked before everyone, I shouldn’t be the one to care about it.” Theodore muttered. His eyes were dark. He seemed a little disturbed.“Theo, what happened? Are you okay?” Fenil asked him, “You are acting weird.” He followed at the direction Theodore was staring at for a while, but he could see Rhea and her college friends. Fenil could not think that Theodore was staring at Aria. “I knew you were worried about Rhea and Peter, but they both are grown up now. Stop acting like a strict parent. Let them have fun.” Fenil explained. Theodore didn’t respond. His attention fixed on Aria’s every move. The fabric of her dress shifted against her skin. As the music faded, the crowd drifted toward the dining hall. Some stumbled from too much wine. Few slipped away to their rooms. Everyone left in pairs, except for Aria. She waited for Pe

Even after half an hour of searching, She was nowhere to be seen. The forces arrived back from the forest with disappointment. Even the guards came back from the shore and shook their heads. Theodore’s chest tightened with restlessness.Just then, the sound of a boat's whistle distracted Theodore."I will leave tomorrow and never see Rhea and Peter again. That’s what you want, right?" Aria’s words echoed in his mind. He swept his fingers through his hair.“Shit! She was serious.” Theodore muttered. His heart raced. The supply boat was pulling away from the dock. He sprinted to the port and leaped onto the deck just as it moved. Inside the small cabin, Aria sat alone. She was gazing at the sea through a wide window, unaware of the world outside. Her dress clung to her. The straps slipped and rested on the curve of her shoulder. Theodore exhaled as he found her. Aria jumped. Her eyes widened with panic. “Mr. Windsor? Why are you here?”Theodore rushed and grabbed her wrist. He pulled h
