After Reincarnation I Married My Ex's Uncle 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 laughin

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

3rd Person POVCeleste smiled as she traced a finger down Alaric’s arm, relishing the way he tensed beneath her touch. He was always so rigid, so composed—but that was what made him perfect. Powerful, untouchable. And now, he was hers.Of course, that little slut was always lurking around, but it didn’t matter. Alaric belonged to her. He just didn’t realize it yet.She had loved him from the moment she first saw him, standing tall in the middle of a lavish gala, looking as if he ruled the world. And maybe he did. He had that presence, that quiet dominance that made everyone take notice. Celeste had been drawn to him instantly. Love at first sight, they called it.But for her, she just didn't love him, she wanted to own him, and all she needed was an opportunity.And one man had given her exactly that.She hadn’t expected him—the stranger who had approached her one evening, speaking in riddles but making promises she couldn’t ignore. He had known things about her, her desperation, and

After that sleepover, my friends’ words refused to leave me. They kept repeating in my mind at every quiet moment, forcing me to confront something I had been too hurt to even consider. What if Alaric was being coerced? My own heartbreak had consumed me, and I so sure of my betrayal that I never once stopped to question the way it all happened. I had taken his cold, detached words at face value—because believing them was easier than searching for a truth that might just be my mind trying to rationalise the whole thing. But now, I decide to look. Really look.At first, the signs are subtle. Celeste is always the one reaching for him, her hands constantly finding his arm, his shoulder, his chest. She talks endlessly, filling silences he doesn’t seem interested in breaking. And then there’s Alaric—rigid, detached. His responses are clipped, his eyes never quite meeting hers. And then I see it—the barely-there tick of his jaw, the quiet tension in his shoulders, the way his fingers cu

Its been a few days since the party, and I plan on telling the girls what happened with Alaric. I feel warm as laughter echoes through the space. Blankets and pillows are strewn across the floor, abandoned snacks littering the coffee table while we lounge in various positions ready for the sleepover I had planned.Ellie wipes tears from her eyes, still giggling. “I can’t believe Damian actually thought he could stay.”Ciara snorts. “The man really thought he was going to crash our sleepover just because he dropped you off.”I shake my head, still trying to catch my breath from laughing. “He even gave me that serious ‘I’m an exception to the rule’ look.”Ellie sighs dramatically. “It’s the delusion. But I will say, he gave it a good effort.”Ciara grins. “At least he made himself useful before leaving. I’ve never seen Brian warm up to a guy so fast.”I huff. “That’s because they bonded over their collective trauma with sisters.”Ellie rolls onto her stomach, propping her chin in her ha

That night, I lie in bed staring at the ceiling, the events of the day replaying again and again in my head like a broken record. Every sharp word, every dismissive glance, every moment I felt like I was being pushed aside.I let myself wallow in it just for a little while, until something inside me shifts.I don’t want to keep feeling like this.I don’t want to spend another day letting Alaric and Celeste affect me, waiting for their actions to dictate my mood. I’ve been stuck in this cycle of frustration and hurt for weeks and I’m done.It’s time to take back my control.Tomorrow, there’s nothing scheduled until the evening. A society ball, one of those extravagant, high-profile events Alaric has to attend as CEO. And, of course, Celeste would be there as his partner, glued to his side like she belonged there.The thought should make me feel miserable. But tonight, it doesn’t.Because tomorrow, I choose how I feel.And I choose not to let them ruin my night.I sit up and reach for m

Anna's POVI take a steadying breath before walking fully into the office, the tablet in my hand cool against my palm. I’ve barely crossed the threshold when Celeste’s sharp gaze lands on me, her lips already curling in irritation.Alaric is at his desk, flipping through some documents, his attention only half on us.“Sir, you have a board meeting in—” I start, but Celeste cuts me off with a dismissive wave of her manicured hand.“He doesn’t need to hear that from you,” she says coolly. “I’ll be handling his schedule from now on.”My fingers tighten around the tablet. “That’s my job.”Celeste tilts her head, amusement flickering in her ice-blue eyes. “Not anymore. Surely, you don’t think you’ll be sticking around for long?”My jaw clenches. “I wasn’t aware my position was up for discussion.”“It isn’t,” Alaric says, not looking up from his paperwork. For a brief moment, relief floods me. At least he isn’t entertaining her games.But Celeste isn’t finished, her eyes flamed with disgust

Anna’s POV "Good morning, sweetheart. You need to get up now, or you'll be late for work." My mom's voice drifted through the door, gentle but insistent. I groaned, burying my face deeper into the pillow. My body protested as I forced my eyes open, the weight of exhaustion pressing down on me. A quick glance at the time had my stomach dropping—I had overslept. Damn it. I had spent the night tossing and turning, my thoughts replaying everything that had happened, every moment leading up to the betrayal that still haunted me. I had gone to bed late, and at some point, I must have slept through my alarm. "Thanks mom," I call out as I hear her leave. Now, I had barely any time to get ready. For a moment, I debated just staying in bed. Calling in sick. Pretending the world outside didn’t exist. But that wasn’t an option. With another groan, I threw the blankets off and forced myself up. Time to face another day. The moment I stepped into the office, the air around me

3 months later I wiped the sweat from my forehead and let out a dramatic sigh. “Alright, whose idea was it to have so much stuff?” “I believe that would be yours, sweetheart,” Dad called from across the living room to my mom, grinning as he struggled to push a particularly heavy box toward the hallway. “If I remember correctly, you’re the one who kept saying, ‘Oh, we’ll need this! We can’t leave this behind!’” she huffes, plopping onto the nearest couch cushion. “Okay, but in my defense, we do need all of it.” “Really?” Brian arched a skeptical brow as he held up a box labeled Kitchen Stuff #5. “Explain to me why we need five whole boxes of just kitchen stuff.” Mom ruffled his hair as he passed by. “Because we actually cook, Brian. Unlike you, who seems to survive solely on energy drinks and microwave meals.” He groaned, batting her hand away. “I do not.....” Dad snorted. “Son, you literally texted us last week asking how to boil an egg.” Laughter filled the room as he

Anna's POV The adrenaline lasted just long enough to get me through the press conference, but the moment I stepped out of that suffocating room full of reporters, everything hit me all at once. it was a little overwhelming to be honest.p I barely remembered the drive back to Sinclair Enterprises, only that the moment I walked into the building, the weight of everything I had just done settled on my shoulders. Exposing the Drummonds, standing in front of the press, defending Alaric and his family—it was a lot. And yet, I had done it. I still couldn't believe it. That I was strong enough to do that on my own, and like a bad bitch too. The realization filled me with something warm, something almost foreign. Confidence. I didn’t want to dwell on it too much, though. There was still work to do. So instead of collapsing into a chair and letting the exhaustion swallow me whole like I wanted, I kept moving. I buried myself in paperwork, answering emails, reviewing reports, g

Alaric's povI watched as their mouths hung open, struggling to process what had just happened. Some looked downright terrified, probably recalling the treacherous words they had uttered moments ago. Others appeared relieved, sensing a shift in the tide and being happy they had kept their mouths shut.Not that I cared for their reactions. I had already marked every single one of them. Their actions during this crisis would not be forgotten. Drax Industries was long overdue for a complete overhaul, and this only solidified my decision.I turned my attention to Vincent Crowe. Unlike the others, his expression remained neutral, a small, almost amused smile tugging at his lips.“Well,” he said, his tone light, almost mocking. “That was a rollercoaster of emotions. Congratulations on clearing your name, Mr. Sinclair.”He might not have been the true mastermind, but it was clear he wasn’t someone to be taken lightly. He had walked into this room with absolute confidence, which meant he beli
