80EMILY’S POV.“Mandy!” I called sharply, getting up from my chair to chase after her. “Mandy!” I called, grabbing her arm, and turning her just before she opened the door to the foyer.“Let go.” She said, wringing her hand out of mine in disgust.“Okay, just calm down, okay? Let’s talk.”“We already talked, but you didn’t wait to listen to everything I wanted to tell you, did you?” She asked.“Okay, okay, I’m sorry. Just wait.”“I spoke to Lucas yesterday, and he hurt my pride.”“I’m sorry about that, but you need to think about this. We’re both going to go down if you do this.”“You should fear the people who have nothing to lose. Yesterday, he reminded me I have nothing to lose. I have no influential family, or an image I’m trying to uphold, so I guess I’m fine with whatever happens. Let’s go down together.” She said, turning away, but I turned her back again.“Wait! Okay, wait, you seriously need to think about this. They’re not people you mess with just like that! Hear me out. H

1EMILY’S POV“Ouch!” I withdrew my hand immediately from the oven and saw that my mitten had a hole in it. “This is going to sting.” I remarked, looking at it in anger. Then I turned to the sink and turned on the tap.“Did you hurt yourself, Miss?” Dahlia asked, coming into the kitchen.“Oh, it’s just a little burn.” I replied, although it was obvious on my face that even as little as the burn was, it hurt badly.Dahlia browsed through the cupboards, and in a minute, she had taken my hand and dabbed it in cool honey.“My mom always did this. You’ll heal just fine, but she never hesitated to dab honey on skin whenever it got burned.” She explained, and I watched her. It must have been nice to remember her mother. Dahlia’s mother was long dead and gone, and the only family Dahlia had were her two children.She never talked much about her children, but Dahlia had been more than a mother to me. She kept the house clean, cooked, and never hesitated to listen to me whenever I needed it.Al

2EMILY’S POV.My heart went into a slow beat, and it seemed like everything had stopped. Maybe I was the only one who stopped.John, who smiled like the sun...John, who saw only me...John, who couldn’t wait for us to get married.John, who watched old movies and made cliché statements because I knew I loved them.John, who swore to give his everything to me...John, who was on the bed, groaning and cloaked in the shiny fabric of perspiration, was before me.The girl’s hair shielded her face as she continued to let out soft cries, and it was only when I staggered backwards that they stopped.John pushed her off him frantically, and she rolled off the bed to the floor, grabbing the sheets and covering herself with them.My heart seemed like it was about to explode with each beat.I tried taking deep breaths, but I couldn’t deny the hot tears that wanted to come running down.“Emily.” He called with a cracked voice, and I looked at their clothes on the floor, strewn in different place

3EMILY’S POV.I grabbed his hands and pulled them off, throwing them away from me, and turned to him.“What the heck do you think you’re doing?” I asked, looking at him with surprise, but it felt like a drum hitting my head. I staggered, and he caught me again.“What am I doing?” He asked, and I tried to pry my hands out of his, but he held on to my wrist firmly.“You know what you’re doing. How could you approach me for the sake of doing this? You’re a jerk! A traitor!” I accused him, with my words slurring.“A traitor?”“I thought we were comrades!” I shouted in an uneven tone and swayed on my feet once more, but he caught me by the waist.“Comrades? You’re drunk. I’m only trying to get you to your room.” He said, and in pretense of brushing my hair backwards, he brushed his palm over my breasts once more, and I pushed him away.“I asked what you think you’re doing!” I shouted, but my eyes couldn’t even open properly anymore.“I’m getting you to your room.”“All men are the same.

4EMILY’S POV.I sat opposite John on the sofa in his house, with my heart beating wild. He stared at me with those intense, deep sea-blue eyes of his, and none of us talked.Then a lady came down from the stairs, wearing a bikini top and pants. How could she come down with just that when the fiancée of the man she was having an affair with was sitting right there in front of her?“What is all this, John? What have I ever done to you?” I finally asked as the lady made her way to him, sitting on his lap.“I should also ask you that.” He returned, and I furrowed my brows until someone sat next to me. I turned sharply and saw a man whose physique looked oddly like the man I slept with. “Didn’t you sleep with him?” John accused me, and I got to my feet.“I… wait. You have to listen.” I turned to the man, who had come out of nowhere. He was smiling, and I felt disgusted and scared.Then John came to stand next to me.“So, how about we bury this and not make any noise?” He asked.“No! Yeste

5LUCAS’ POV.My eyelids fluttered open slowly, and my eyes hit the white, unfamiliar ceiling. Everywhere was cold, and I looked to my side for evidence that a steamy night had really happened between me and a total stranger.The bed was empty. I was the only one in it, but I couldn’t fool myself into thinking that nothing had happened the previous night. Her scent still lingered on the sheets, and the lotion she had used on her hair seemed to be stuck directly in my nose. I sat up in my bed and thought hard, running my hands through my hair.Why had I suddenly done such a horrible thing? The night had been fast, and everything was so rushed that I had been caught up in it. At first, I had tried to resist, but she was so alluring, and I couldn’t take my eyes off her.She had just triggered me in ways I had never been triggered before.Maybe I needed to admit it, but the moment she walked into the bar, I was taken by her beauty. Her beauty was simple yet enchanting. Till she took her s

6EMILY’S POV.I got home close to noon, and trudged in, feeling shitty. All through the drive home, I had hated myself. It felt like I was on the same level as John, and that I was also a cheat.If he knew about it, he’d be mad. He’d want to continue with the engagement on the ground that we were even.He could mock me for being all dramatic when I had been the same. Maybe he’d even suggest I’d been doing it behind his back for a long time.“Wel…” Dahlia was saying, but noticed the depressed look on my face. “Emily, is anything wrong?” She asked, coming towards me, and as she held my arms, my eyes brimmed with tears.I didn’t even know what I was crying for anymore. Was it for sleeping with a stranger, or realizing I was heartbroken?“Emily.” She called, worriedly, then led me to the sofa gently, where we sat, and I sniffed.“John’s cheating on me.” I said, and her eyes widened, as her jaw dropped.“John’s what? I mean…”“After everything I did for him, he… he was making love to anot

7LUCAS’ POV.I had not been on the road for long when Tray, my beta called me. I snapped out of my thoughts of the mysterious woman, and cleared my throat.“Lucas. Where are you right now?” He asked, immediately I picked the call.“What? You’re not going to let Lucas rest, even a few hours after he flew into Los Angeles?” I asked, and he gave a little chuckle.“You know, things like this always happen whenever you’re around. When you were in Paris, this didn’t happen. It’s happening only a few hours after you made your way back home. I’m sorry about that, but it’s important.” He said, although his voice didn’t sound apologetic. If anything, he seemed happy to be burdening me with work.Tray and I had been best friends since middle school, and we were known to be troublemakers. Although, ever since he had been assigned my beta, he held a bit of respect for me, but that did nothing to dim the light of our friendship.“Important I see. What’s it about?”“Mrs. Mayer decided to see if the

79EMILY’S POV.“You’re going to destroy who?” Lucas asked, “Emily?”“Yes. Because no one gets in my way. I get what I want. She crossed me.”“Who are you? Some rich Alpha’s daughter? Is your father known?” He asked, acting clueless. “I thought you were just some secretary John pitied and picked up because you opened your chest?”“What?”“I’m asking what you can do compared to what I can do. Are you that fearless that you have no regard for how the life of a woman like you can end quickly when she crosses the wrong person?” He asked, and Mandy took a step back, although I was pretty sure she didn’t intend to do that.“What?”“No one gets in your way, well, no one gets in mine too. I get what I want, and if you decide to cross me, then you’ll be destroyed too.”“Now unveiling your true colors?” She finally asked, getting her tongue.“I never hid it. Did I ever speak softly to you? It was there in plain sight for you to see. Jail is always open for women like you who don’t mind their bu
One Nightstand With My Ex's Uncle 78
78EMILY’S POV.I stared at the photo with my throat feeling like it was bringing back all the things I had eaten. It was definitely Mandy, who had sent it through an unknown number.What was her deal? Why was she so obsessed with making sure she pulled me down? Did she want to get married to John or Lucas, which one of them? I only barely escaped the elders’ meeting. They said they’d be putting an eye on me to see that I didn’t disgrace their family, but she was there, busy trying to make me rot in jail, without committing a crime.Lucas got up to scan the area, but I knew it was no use. She’d have taken the picture minutes ago, gotten back to safety, then settle to send the picture, so she wouldn’t get caught.Lucas returned after a while, and by then, I was already thinking of whatever I could be framed for doing. Seducing a Granger? Causing trouble for the family?“Whoever sent it will ask for something before using it. We should know who took it then.”“It’s Mandy.” I said, stari

77LUCAS’ POV.I wondered what Emily would probably be going through.“Can’t you just do this by yourself? I have to check on someone at home.” I told Tray, who had pranked me to come to his house, so we could work together.“Nope. These days, I’ve been doing all the work. You have all these documents to look over. Appointments, contracts, requests, reports, employment… They’re too much for me to handle.” He said, without looking up from the document he was going through.“I know I’ve been a little distracted lately, but I really have to check on someone at home.” I said, feeling desperate.Emily was probably going to be scared out of her wits, and Sadie was no help. I doubted Sadie would say anything that would be useful to Emily. What if my siblings found a way to pry the truth of her mouth?What if she confessed that we did sleep with each other once? Will was good at cornering people. She wouldn’t know when he managed to force the answer from her lips. Except he wanted to keep obs

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
