Married My Ex's Uncle In My Second Time Chapter Eight
As I walk toward campus, the familiar paths bring up more memories I’ve tried to bury. Back in school, I was a ghost, a social pariah. I didn’t have friends, just Lisa and Josh.At first, things were different. My classmates were kind, even welcoming. I liked a couple of them and had fun conversations with them; I thought maybe I’d finally belong somewhere. But slowly, I started to see their smiles fade, replaced by cold stares and whispers behind my back.Why?I still don’t know, but it doesn’t take much to know Lisa had to have spread some lies about me. I wasn’t living on campus, so I didn’t have roommates to bond with or late-night study sessions to join, so wasn’t really in the social scene in school, and I couldn’t have been able to hear about rumours about myself.When the hostility began, I retreated into myself and stuck to Lisa.Lisa, my “best friend," never lifted a finger to help me connect with anyone.Why would she? She was thriving, surrounded by friends, always laughing

Disoriented, I blink, my mind snapping back just in time to catch Lisa’s words."Hey, I tried calling you last night, but it wasn’t going through. Are you alright?" she asks, her voice laced with a practiced air of concern.I force a smile, though I’m sure it doesn’t quite reach my eyes. "Oh, yeah. I slept really early, and my phone was on Do Not Disturb."Before I can finish my words, she waves her hand dismissively, cutting me off. "Anyway, I was calling for your advice on what to wear for tonight's class get-together."I roll my eyes. How typical of Lisa, not caring about anyone but herself.We’re walking into the half-filled lecture hall now, and I let her comment hang in the air for a second before asking, "What get-together?"Lisa turns to me, eyes widening in mock surprise. "Oh, I’m so sorry," she says, her tone dripping with insincere pity. "A couple of our coursemates decided to host a party for everyone. I thought you’d be invited, too. That’s why I mentioned it."My chest t

I round the corner and spot the café in the distance. Relief washes over me as I realize I’ve made it on time. Josh might be a terrible person, but punctuality is his religion. If I were even a minute late, he’d let me hear about it. And I need him in a good mood if I’m going to pry any useful information from him.My mind is so caught up in rehearsing the conversation that I almost miss it—a low, pained groan.I freeze mid-step, my ears straining. There it is again. Definitely a groan.Before I can second-guess myself, my feet carry me toward the alley beside the café. My heart hammers as my mind spins with possibilities. What could have happened? This area’s supposed to be safe. It’s surrounded by schools and dorms—nothing ever happens here.The sound guides me deeper into the alley, and soon I spot the source: a dark figure slumped against the wall.He’s male; I can tell that much immediately. His left hand clutches his shoulder, blood seeping through his fingers. His right hand is

"Closer," he snaps, his tone sharper this time.I suck in a deep breath, and before I can stop myself, the words spill out."Hey, please don’t shoot me! I promise, if you let me go, I won’t say a word about anything I saw. I didn’t even see your face—okay, that’s a lie. I did see it, and, uh, wow, you’re really gorgeous, I have to say."His brows knit together, but I’m too far gone to stop now."My point is," I ramble on, "someone with a face like yours doesn’t belong in jail. You know what happens there, and I’d really hate for you to end up like that. So I definitely won’t tell anyone, not the police, not anyone. Please, I really don’t want to die. I still have so much to do!"My voice finally falters, and I realize I’m holding my breath. When I dare to look at him again, his expression is unreadable."Are you done?" he asks, one perfectly sculpted eyebrow arched.I blink at him, my mouth snapping shut."I don’t need a monologue," he says dryly. "I just want you to take that phone."

I walk over to his table, and before I can even sit, Josh launches into his usual tirade.“Why did you keep me waiting? You know I’m very busy these days, and you also know how much I love punctuality. I get that you weren’t brought up strictly with these principles, but surely, by now, you’ve learned good manners.”I stare at him, stunned by his audacity, half tempted to pull out the gun tucked in my bag just to shut him up. Instead, I bite back my irritation. I just needed one thing from him, and after that, I could make him pay for all the misery he’d caused me.Forcing a smile, I coax, “I’m sorry I’m late. I ran into some of my parents’ old friends and had to stop for a quick conversation.”That seems to satisfy him, and he leans back in his chair with a smug nod. “So, what did you call me here for?”“I called you here to catch up,” I said lightly. “It’s been a few days since we last talked.”His disappointment is evident, and I wonder why, but I press on instead. “How’s your famil

Josh leaves soon after he receives another text; i dont even try to stop himI am about to do the same when a shadow looms over the table, and I look up to find a young woman standing there, her expression hard and unyielding.It takes me a moment to recognise her—Ciara. A classmate. She had always stood out with her effortless beauty: short, dark brown hair that framed her face, hazel eyes that sparkled with intelligence—or, in this moment, judgement—and a dusting of freckles across her button nose that softened her otherwise sharp demeanor.But her body language right now is anything but soft.“You’re a really bad person, aren’t you?” she said, her tone cold and accusatory, cutting through the muted chatter of the café.I blink, startled. “Excuse me?”She wasn’t holding back. Her eyes dart to the seat Josh had just vacated before returning to mine, her gaze as sharp as a blade. She clutches a to-go cup and a small brown bag, but her attention was fully on me, like a predator who had

As I head home, I decide to make a detour to Drax Industries. I know they have a branch in this state, and from my past life memories, I recall that Alaric Sinclair gets murdered here, so it’s likely he is currently in this state, planning the merger at the local branch.I walk into the building, unsure of what I’m getting myself into. Even if I manage to get through to him, what would I say? Hi, you don’t know me, but I know you’re going to be killed in a few days. I can help you avert it, but you have to save my father’s company, alright? I’d probably be thrown out and admitted to a psych ward. I groan at the thought and mutter to myself, “There’s no going back now,” as I approach the lobby.At the reception desk stands a stunningly beautiful girl with blonde hair, flawless makeup, and warm brown eyes."Hi," she says brightly as I walk up."Hi," I reply, trying to keep my voice steady. "I’d like to speak to Alaric Sinclair, please." I inject as much confidence into my words as possi

I take a deep breath and push open the restaurant door, stepping into a world of bright lights and laughter. The place had been transformed for the occasion; it was obvious the planner had spared no expense. They had rented out the entire place; every table gleamed with polished silverware, and fairy lights hung delicately from the ceiling, casting a warm glow across the room. My gaze sweeps the space, searching for a particular duo, and there they are—Lisa and Josh.Through the glass partition, I see them surrounded by our classmates, laughing and chatting as if they don’t care in the world. Lisa’s head tilts back as she giggles at something Josh says, her expression radiant. It ignites a fire inside me. My nervousness evaporates, replaced by a fury so intense it makes my hands tremble.Every step I take toward the restaurant strengthens my resolve. Memories flood my mind—every instance of pain, betrayal, and loneliness they caused in my past life. The humiliation, the isolation, the

AnnaI wake up to the feeling of strong arms pulling me close, a warm chest pressing against my back. For a moment, I let myself sink into it, into him. The dim lights of the early morning seep in through the curtains, but Alaric’s embrace is anything but peaceful—it’s tight, protective, almost… tense.I blink the sleep from my eyes. “Alaric?”His hold loosens slightly, just enough for me to turn and face him. His eyes are already open, watching me like he’s memorizing every detail. There’s something in them that wasn’t there before; had something gone wrong?“How did it go?” I ask softly, brushing my fingers along his cheek.He sighs and presses his forehead to mine. “As expected. He’s not going to stop. And worse, it's not because he wants power or money, but because he thinks this is justice.”My heart sinks. “So, what now?”“The next few days…” He trails off, jaw tightening. “They’re going to be dangerous, Anna. He’s not done. And the closer we get to exposing everything and stopp

AlaricI watch her from the edge of the room—curled up in the window seat, sunlight catching in her hair, legs tucked under a blanket and reading a book. For a moment, everything feels quiet. Peaceful. And for the first time in what feels like forever, that quiet doesn’t terrify me.But it doesn’t last.“I suppose it’s time I told you everything,” I say, breaking the silence. Anna looks up, her eyes meeting mine—steady, patient. She’s always known when I was holding something back. It has been 4 days since Celeste told us everything she knew, which was more than enough to finally put everything into perspective.I move to sit across from her, fingers laced together.“His name is Elias Voss.”Her brow furrows. “Elias…”“He grew up in a government-run orphanage,” I continue, “one that was heavily funded by the company—back when my father was in charge. It was a passion project of his, actually. He used to visit once a year, donate books, clothes, supplies… But something happened. The fu

**Explicit content ahead**He carries me into the bedroom, his grip strong but reverent, like I’m something fragile he’s afraid to break. The moment we reach the bed, he lowers me gently onto the sheets, hovering over me like he’s afraid to rush. His fingers trace the line of my jaw, down my neck, and I shiver under his touch."Take off your clothes." He looks shocked which was exactly what I was going for."What??"“I said, take off your clothes, Mr. Sinclair,” I murmur, my voice low but teasing, a sly smile tugging at my lips.He arches a brow, but there’s a flicker of surprise in his eyes—he wasn’t expecting this version of me. Truth be told, I wasn’t either. But something about being with him—with Alaric—makes me feel bold. Safe. Desired.Normally, I’d shrink away, let him lead. I’ve always been the one to follow, to please, to hope for scraps of affection. But not tonight. Not with him.Tonight, I want to claim him.I lean back into the pillows, watching intently as he slowly beg

We finally return to Alaric’s home, and as soon as I step inside, a wave of familiarity crashes into me.The scent of warm wood and subtle spice. The soft lighting. The quiet hum of the house.God, I missed this place.I slip out of my shoes slowly, letting the comfort of it all sink in. It’s only been a few months, but everything that happened between then and now makes it feel like a lifetime. My gaze drifts to the grand staircase and the tall windows, and for a moment, I just let myself breathe.We’d left Celeste with Tristan at the safehouse. He insisted on staying behind to watch her, and I trusted him—but still, a flicker of worry lingers in my chest. I hope she doesn't try anything stupid. I hope they’re okay.Shaking the thought off, I pull out my phone and call Damian. He picks up on the second ring and the conversation starts off tensed but I give him everything. I tell him about Celeste, the revelation, the name of the man behind it all, and how we finally have leverage.By

Something in me softens as I watch Celeste shrink into herself.Gone is the haughty woman who stormed into Alaric’s office, who tried to pit us against each other and stood tall beside a man she thought was invincible. Now, she’s… a discarded pawn, trembling on the edge of irrelevance.I walk over quietly and kneel beside her, lowering myself to her level so she doesn’t feel surrounded or attacked. Her eyes flick to mine, red-rimmed and wide, like she doesn’t know whether to expect mercy or mockery.But I speak gently.“If you tell us everything you know,” I say, my voice calm and honest, “Alaric will let you go. No more games, no more threats. Just tell the truth, Celeste. Help us stop him.”Her lips tremble, and I see the fight start to leave her body.“No one else has to know,” I add. “But you can’t go back to him. Not after this. And you know that.”She blinks rapidly, a single tear slipping down her cheek before she quickly wipes it away, as if she still doesn’t want to appear we

I lean against the far wall, arms crossed, staring at Celeste’s unconscious form slumped in the chair. Her long hair is a tangled mess now, falling across her face like a broken curtain. It’s hard to believe that just hours ago, she was barging into Alaric’s office in full control, heels clicking like she owned the place. Now she’s here—drugged, tied up, stripped of all that bravado.After she collapsed, Alaric had Tristan haul her through the private elevator, the one most employees don’t even know exists. No one saw us leave. No one knows where we are. The safe house is far from the city, heavily guarded, and soundproof.She stirs.I straighten instantly, watching her brows twitch, fingers flexing behind her bound back. Her eyes flutter open slowly, scanning her surroundings—and then she sees us.Alaric beside me, sharp and unreadable. Tristan near the door, arms folded. Jason to her left, silent and brooding. And me, watching every flicker of emotion play across her face.Her breat

I don’t waste a second.I grab my tablet, the folder of reports—anything that looks official enough to pass as a legitimate excuse—and head straight for Alaric’s office. I keep my expression neutral as I walk past Celeste, who’s typing away on her phone. Her eyes flick up briefly, and I flash her a tight, polite smile. She doesn’t return it.Good.Once inside, I shut the door quietly and lock it, just like he told me to.Alaric’s already up from his chair, tension radiating from his frame. He doesn’t speak at first. He just strides toward me and wraps his arms around me, pulling me into his chest like he knew it was exactly what I needed.“I heard,” he says, voice low. “Is he okay?”“He’s shaken, but safe. Damian’s got him under heavy protection now.” I pause. “It was deliberate, Alaric. A message. They wanted me to know they can get to my family anytime they want.”He pulls back enough to meet my gaze. His golden eyes are colder than I’ve ever seen them—sharp, dangerous. “That was th

After everyone had cleared out—her parents heading to bed, Brian retreating to his room with a muttered, “Don’t stay up too late,” and Ellie offering one last encouraging squeeze of her hand, i found myself lingering in the hallway.Damian was just about to leave when I called out, “Hey, Damian? Can we talk? Just for a minute.”He paused, nodding, and followed her into the quiet of the kitchen. The warm light from the overhead fixtures cast a soft glow over the space.“I wanted to ask you something,” I began, leaning against the counter, arms crossed loosely in front of me. “Back when you mentioned someone trying to interfere with your company—do you still think someone’s trying to take it over?”Damian scratched the back of his neck, looking thoughtful. “I did,” he said carefully. “Before, there were a lot of unusual movements. Strange buyout offers, shady investors trying to snag minor shares—nothing illegal, but definitely calculated. It felt like someone was testing the waters, se
Married My Ex's Uncle In My Second Time Chapter 0091
The next few days felt like a breath of fresh air. It was as if the weight that had been pressing down on my chest had finally lifted, the storm inside me settling into something calmer, more manageable. Alaric hadn’t betrayed me. He hadn’t chosen Celeste over me. I had been wrong, and the truth had set everything into motion again.Work became easier, too. I could focus on the tasks in front of me without that constant knot of anxiety twisting my stomach. The reports, the meetings—everything seemed more like routine again instead of a battleground.But there was still Celeste.Every time I passed her in the halls, my stomach churned, and my gaze followed her as she clung to Alaric’s side like a vine. Her hand was always on his arm; her laughter was too loud, too eager. I hated seeing them together. It was like a punch to the gut, a reminder of everything I’d been afraid of, everything I’d once thought was true.Still, I managed to keep my composure. I focused on my work, on keeping m
