One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 41
41EMILY’S POV.It had been so long since I had laughed genuinely. Laughing with Dahlia was a totally different thing. When I was with her, it felt like I was somewhere that wasn’t included in my life at the moment. It was like the gloomy abyss was suddenly flooded with light. Immediately after the call, everything went back to being gloomy.So, laughing at Lucas was actually the first time I was laughing genuinely in the gloom.It felt so good to laugh, to have something that made me crack up, but then, it was all messed up. The person who made me laugh could not be more wrong. Why would my ex’s uncle be the one to make me laugh?“Okay, you’re laughing now, and I guess this was for you, since you had a load of things to let out, but I think we should get down now.” He said, making for the stairs, and I looked down, and got the chills. We were really up high.Before the crazy impulse to throw myself down manifested, I figured it was best to go down. I didn’t know why, but whenever I w

42EMILY’S POV.I was horrified. Why would Sadie be in my bed? When had she arrived? For how long had she been laying there? Why was she in my room? Even though her family looked down on me because they felt I wasn’t good enough for John, there was something called privacy, and I had the right to…I stopped thinking. Why was her face bloated, and her eyes red? Had she been crying?“You broke off the engagement with John? But my family thinks… oh no. Lady Genevieve is not going to be pleased with that. It would be huge news. Everyone would think there’s a huge story behind it. They might assume John cheated, or he was maltreating you, or he used to hit you… it’s going to be big news.“The reporters will want to dig up dirt on us because they’ll want to know why you broke off the engagement a few days before the wedding. Doesn’t that sound weird to you? Also, they’re going to be wondering if it had something to do with postponing the wedding, and keeping it secret. They will assume no w

43LUCAS’ POV.I was unable to tell her why I had slept with her. She was right. If it had been any other woman who had forced herself on me that night, I would have pushed her away because I hated clingy women— women who abandoned dignity, and threw themselves on men. Those women ended up ruining their lives, and demeaning their worth.I had simply been attracted to Emily from the time I saw her. There was that aura she carried; something completely different about her, and I knew it wouldn’t hurt to tell her I had found her attractive, and that was why my guard hadn’t been up that night, but I felt it might ruin things.To be honest, I didn’t like the fact that I found Emily charming. I was this man who everyone knew to be picky, and extremely choosy when it came to women. So, having a weird kind of attraction I didn’t understand for a woman who used to be my nephew’s fiancée, was totally not it. It wasn’t me.But what was I to do when everyday, she seemed better than the previous d

44EMILY’S POV.The next morning, my head thrummed like lots of instruments were playing in it. I stumbled out of bed, and groaned. I needed something to help my headache.My sweatshirt was still stained with pepper from the salmon, and I wondered why I hadn’t taken it off. I went to the kitchen to get some lemon tea that could help, but the maids had no lemon tea, they only had coconut water. It helped a bit.“Here. Eat this before the family comes around for breakfast.” Kaye said, handing me an omelet with veggie.“Aww, you’re so sweet.” I said, picking it up, and digging my teeth into it. “Hm, this is sooo good. I feel so hungry, despite all the salmon you guys made last night. By the way, those salmon hit the spot. It felt like they were restaurant-cooked.” I complimented, and she blushed.“I had a major role in the grilling of the salmons, and preparing the ingredients.” She said, and I laughed, then drank more coconut water.“I’m never drinking apple cider again. It’s so sweet,

45EMILY’S POV.“What do you want?” I asked, angrily, and she smiled.“Have you forgotten I can make you do whatever I want? I came here to give you an order, but I heard you saying something rather interesting instead.” She said, going to sit on my bed, with a bounce.“Why do you have to be the one to overhear everything? This is no longer funny, Sadie. Why couldn’t you just wait for me to return to the breakfast table before asking for whatever it is that you want?” I asked, and she giggled.“Why do you like to think out loud? I mean that’s what our minds are there for, right? To think. We think with our minds, and not our tongues, Emily. Why wouldn’t I overhear things I shouldn’t?” She asked, still smiling.“This is odd. Why are you smiling instead of snapping some harsh reply back at me?” I asked, and she giggled.“Well that is because I discovered something that would actually be really fun to do. I mean, I’ve watched this stuff in so many movies, but haven’t actually had a chanc

46EMILY’S POV.“That’s not the story. I didn’t end things with John because I slept with Lucas. I already intended to. Why would you modify the story in such a horrible way?” I asked, seeing how she interpreted the story in her own way, which was totally not acceptable.“You didn’t end things because you slept with Lucas, so you say. Then why did you end things? You just woke up one morning, and decided you were tired of John?” She asked, making a face, and I sighed.“No, I can’t tell you why.” I said. I knew she liked Katie, and it would be weird if she knew Katie slept with John.“Well, I can guess why, judging from all you’ve said today, but if you get in the way of my matchmaking, this is the story I’ll tell everyone. Emily slept with Lucas, and fell in love with him. Because of that, she broke up with John.” She said, arranging her hair around her shoulders delicately, and I bit my lip hard, wishing she was someone I could smack.Sadie got up from my bed, with a smile, and left

47EMILY’S POV.Why would he do something as stupid as that in front of a girl who could be really dangerous? Also, in front of his classmates?His classmates began to cheer, and make noise, hailing, and egging him on.What did he think he was doing? Suddenly, Derella pushed past me, snatched the flowers, and threw them 0nto the ground nastily, giving Derel an angry look.She wrapped her fingers around my arm, and pulled me out of the class. It was a little rude, but I appreciated the gesture. At least, I didn’t have to wrack my head apart deciding what to do in that situation. Did he think I was going to take the flowers from him? Smile, and thank him? What exactly did his shitty head expect?As Derella led me out into the emptying halls, Derel caught up with us.“What are you doing? Can’t you see plan B was needed? She needs to know I’ll never ever be interested in her. Plan A wasn’t working.” Derel said, trying to take my arm, but I jerked it out of his grip, and did the same to De

48EMILY’S POV.I was so shocked to discover my heart beating crazily that I subconsciously placed my hand on it. Why was it beating that fast?Just because he was handsome? Emily, tap him! Touch him! Wake him! You can’t just keep staring at him like that. What if he suddenly wakes, and finds you staring at him?How would you explain that?I wanted to shake myself out of the strange fantasy he had put me in. I didn’t want to stare at him, but really, it was all I wanted to do. His white sweatshirt made him look even more desirable for some reason, and I had the insane urge to push his hair out of his face.Why would a person be as handsome as that? Then, my eyes fell on his lips, and I confirmed that it wasn’t just a drunken desire to kiss him again.What if Sadie suddenly pushed the door open, and saw me staring at him like that?The thought of that seemed to jar me to my senses, and I tapped him gently. He stirred, and turned away from me.I took a deep breath. He had taken that enc

One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 76
76EMILY’S POV.Why couldn’t I speak? Maybe I was just so terrified by their looks, and awfully aware that if anything went wrong, I was in trouble.It felt like just sitting there watching them would give me a panic attack.“You are sleeping with him.” Lady Mira said in horror, and I shook my hands and head immediately. It was only then that the words came pouring out.“Why would I sleep with him? He’s John’s uncle. I can’t forget that. John would be so mad, and if the news gets out, we’ll be in trouble. I can’t do that to the family. Lucas and I are just friends. There’s nothing going on between us. If you ask Sadie, she’ll tell you. She was the one who wanted us to be friends in the first place. I’m not sleeping with Lucas. He also can’t do that to John. They’re like brothers. I’m engaged to John. That is impossible. I don’t want you thinking I have something sexual to do with him.” I blurted out, breathing faster.“Then why didn’t you say a thing when we asked you?” Alpha Raymond

75EMILY’S POV.I looked at Lucas, but he didn’t look at me. He simply toyed with his dinner. My heart thundered in my chest. Everything was going wrong.No, things weren’t supposed to be that way. I swallowed, and looked at them. They were expecting a reply from me. “Uh, wh…what time?”“We’ll call you whenever we’re ready.” Lady Genevieve said, looking at me like she’d love to just cut me off from the family.If she wanted to do that, I had no objections. I had no interest in staying with a family that had so much rules, and regulations, too many dos and don’ts.It would have been better if they just told me the time, so I could be prepared for it. Why would they say they would call me when they needed it?The dinner was a quiet one, but within me was a storm of fear. Alpha Raymond and Lady Genevieve scared me a lot. They were always looking tight, and angry whenever I saw them. Lady Mira didn’t seem to care about me or anything I did, and Alpha Will looked like he was considering if

74LUCAS’ POV.I was plain shocked to see Emily and me displayed on the screen.There was the photo of us having coffee. The one with Emily going out with the pink dress. Although it was just her. I wasn’t in the picture. Then there was another of us laughing, while grilling meat, right before John offered to join us.It felt like my heart had seized. Everyone was murmuring, and looking for us.“Isn’t that Mr. Granger’s fiancée?”“I thought she was getting married to John?”“Is she the one? I think she is. I saw their engagement poster, and announcements.”“Are they no longer together?”“Oh my God. Is it an affair!?”“Did she cheat on him with his Uncle?”“This is crazy. What is this?”Genevieve got up, looking stiff with anger, and walked straight to the little cubicle where the technical people were working. She probably had a lot to say.I looked at Emily, and saw she couldn’t even take her eyes off the screen. Her eyes were wide open, and I could see the hand which held her glass

73EMILY’S POV.I hid my hands behind a jug of orange juice, and felt the need to leave the place.“I have no idea.” I said, and she smiled.“Isn’t it disturbing to sleep with your fiancé’s relative?” She asked, and my eyes shot to hers.“What?” I asked, finding it hard to breathe.“I mean I’d find it disturbing. Wouldn’t you?” She asked John. “If you slept with your fiancée’s relative, wouldn’t you feel disgusted?” She asked, and John smiled.“If it’s for revenge, then I guess it’s fine. Revenge should be worse than the first offence.” He replied, and Mandy’s face fell.“I do not think the same way.” She said.“Is it a true life story?” Alpha Raymond asked, and Mandy glanced at me briefly, before turning back to Alpha Raymond.“I think it is.” She said, looking like she was giving it a thought.Lucas next to me was just eating, and scrolling through his phone. He didn’t seem to be bothered at all.Sadie kept on smirking, and it felt like I was the only one who was disturbed by Mandy’

72EMILY’S POV.“Mandy!” I called, getting to my feet abruptly.She stopped, and turned around slowly, with a smile on her face.“You can’t just do that. That’s ridiculous. No way. Why would I upload a drunk video and tag the Elders?” I asked, and she walked to me slowly.“You have no other reason to do it, except the fact that I will spill your secrets. Tell me, are you that great? How did you get Lucas to sleep with you? Did you drug him? Don’t tell me he actually likes you, or that you both are in a relationship.”“It’s not that way.”“Then what way? You accused John of cheating, but slept with his Uncle?”“I didn’t even know he was John’s Uncle, and that was after I broke up with him. I was reckless, and angry after finding Katie in his bed, and… look, I don’t even need to narrate anything to you. It’s none of your business.”“You think I’ll believe that shit? Dream on.”“Your choice, Mandy.”“I give you till evening.” She said, and walked away, leaving me fuming.How was it that

71EMILY’S POV.Fear seized my heart, and it seemed iced water was washed down my chest. It was the end. Was I going to be blackmailed by her too? Was this the end?What would happen if the family found out I had slept with Lucas? Already, none of them seemed to like to see me with Lucas.“What are you doing eavesdropping on us?” I shot at her, and she raised her brows.“Eavesdropping? Was there something I wasn’t supposed to hear? I only came to make sure you were sleeping well.” She said, looking at us cluelessly.“Why would you do that? You didn’t do that yesterday, or the day before.” Sadie pointed out.“Tonight was a little intense for Emily. She was stuck with John and was probably boiling inside. I only came to see.” She said, feigning innocence, but to me, that was bullshit.I couldn’t hope she hadn’t heard anymore.“If you have heard something, just spit it out. This doesn’t suit you.” I said, wanting to get it over with immediately, rather than anticipating if she would tell

70EMILY’S POV.We both stopped, and from the corner of my eye, I could see Sadie tense up. My lips trembled, and my heart rate began to pick up slowly, but steadily, gradually rising to maniacal beating.How did it happen that we were discussing such problematic matters in the living room?“Did you both see a ghost?” Mandy asked, smoothing her satin evening gown.“What?” Sadie asked, breathily.“You both are sent for. Dinner’s about to start.” She said, and looked from my face to Sadie’s, before turning around, and walking back out the door.“Do you… do you think she heard anything? She didn’t, did she? Did she look like she heard us saying something?” I asked, with my eyes trained on the door like it would swing open again.“I don’t know. I’m just as clueless as you are.”“What was the last thing we said?” I asked, suddenly forgetting the last thing I had said.“You and the pregnancy.”“Oh my God, oh my, oh my, this isn’t good.” I said, getting up, and placing my hands behind my hea

69EMILY’S POV.I brought my laughter to a stop slowly, and Lucas’ laughter also subsided. As he focused on the meat he was grilling, John walked towards us, with his hands in his pockets.Gosh, Jealousy made him look like an insane psychiatric patient who escaped from the hospital.“What’s the occasion?” He asked, as he approached us.“Burning hot beef against the chilly cold weather.” Lucas said, picking up a slice of beef, and offering it to him.John opened his mouth, and Lucas dropped the meat in. John juggled the meat in his mouth, and sat on the chair in front of us. Why the maids had placed three chairs there in the first place, I had no idea.“Mind if I join?” He asked, with mouth dancing to the rhythm of the hot beef.“Sure. There’s enough to eat.” Lucas replied, and I took a long drink from my orange juice. It was refreshing, but unfortunately, I couldn’t feel it.John stared at me.“Why were you laughing?” He asked, and I got to my feet.“Have a nice night, Mr. Granger.” I

68EMILY’S POV.My heart was thundering and it seemed like it would tear out of my chest, as I found that I couldn’t tear my eyes off his lips.I was finally losing my senses. Even my saliva was hard to swallow, and it took him tilting his head—to try to decipher what was wrong with me—to get my eyes off him.I turned away sharply, stepping into the rain, and stepping backwards after feeling the harsh and direct coldness. I bumped against him, and jumped.It was tempting to place my hand on my chest, and try to make it stop beating hard.“Why? Did you want to kiss me?” I heard him ask, and I turned to him immediately.“No. Why? Why would you say that?” I asked, shaking my head, and playing dumb.He smirked, and his eyes fell to my lips. I swallowed hard, and stepped out of the umbrella.“There’s a taxi!” I shouted, running towards a vacant taxi approaching us in the far distance.He was next to me shortly, covering me alone with the small umbrella.We got into the taxi, while Lucas ca
