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

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 23 Pandemonium.

    AVAI still had the keys to Blake's apartment. Getting out of the vehicle, I sauntered to the front porch, stopping to listen for any noise before making any move. Of course I was aware he was supposed to be away at some reunion, which should have made this easier. But then, with Blake, you never really knew what could happen. I knew the kind of person he was and that’s a given. But that wasn't to say I wouldn't be shocked if he caught me off guard with something else.When I went into the house, it all felt so nostalgic…to a point I hated it and felt like I was going to fetch. There were all those eight years of my life in every corner of this house. Also, not much had changed since when I left so I figured he probably wasn’t even staying home. He was obviously having the time of his life with his married mistress elsewhere.Blinking, I shut out all the nostalgic feelings to her down to work.I wasn’t carrying a lot of heavy stuff like furniture. I’d decided I would buy my own with t

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 24 A Timely Intervention

    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.

    BLAKE“Fuck!” I yelled into the air, grabbing a handfull of my hair.What the actual fuck was happening? Everything I worked hard to build was crumbling to the ground. I pressed down on the accelerator of my car, increasing the speed. The rage inside me was too much to be contained. I needed an outlet, something to calm me down.The familiar urge to call Chloe bubbled up, but I squashed it instantly. That bitch was the reason my perfect world was falling apart. She’s brought me more harm than good.How dare she send those photos to Ava. I should have known she'd try to destroy me and I knew it was because of the stupid reunion.Earlier that day, my assistant informed me about the high school reunion my previous classmates had planned. Initially, I scoffed at the idea.Why revisit a past where I was nothing but the poor kid scrounging for scraps? But then a delicious thought occurred to me….I could return as a conquering king and show them all who Blake Montgomery had become. Things we

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 26 Dinner Or Date?

    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

    AVAAs soon as I arrived at the office, Blake’s assistant came to meet me.“Your presence is being requested at the office, please,” the assistant said.I wondered what this was about this time. If Blake tried to pull anything stupid, he was going to see the other side of me this morning. I stormed across the corridor, annoyed that Blake was the first person I had to see on a wonderful Monday such as this.I reached the office, standing at the doorway while he propped his elbows on the table and clasped his fingers underneath his chin.“Welcome, welcome, have your seat,” he said.“I prefer to stand,” I said dryly.“Suit yourself, then,” he said and leaned back into his chair, watching me.I stared back at him with the same intensity, letting him know I wasn’t happy to be there or anywhere near him as a matter of fact.“I heard you got the contract,” he said, raising a brow.“I did. Thankfully. It was hard trying to get it, but I succeeded.”“Right,” he said dryly, “I’ve contacted Cedr

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 28 Dinner with a Billionaire

    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

  • A Crazy Night with My Ex's Uncle   Chapter 29 A True Lie

    AVAI was conflicted. Seeing Blake here must mean that he frequently visited Grandma and I had no idea what or how to feel about that. He has always treated me horribly, but here he was, acting in front of my grandmother like the perfect gentleman to ever exist. I didn’t think I wanted to be a part of whatever was shoeing inside there as long as Blake was around, so I made the decision to leave before I got noticed.But on turning around, I heard a noisy creak underneath my feet, coming from the loose floorboard of the porch. I immediately noticed how the voices in the house stopped, just as I also kept still until I was sure they weren’t gong to bother about the noise.Then, Blake’s voice boomed. “Who’s there?”I was surprised by how protective he sounded.I cleared my throat. “I wonder why you’re here of all places,” I said, almost rolling my eyes..“Ava?” He said and then there was a pause before I heard the latch open. Blake stuck his face out.When his eyes met mine, he made to s

    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!
