His Uncle's Dearest

Drunk in her sadness, she slammed her lips on the man pinned against the wall.

“You are heavily drunk right now. Let go before you regret your actions.” The man dressed in a sexy black shirt spoke in a cold tone, his voice as cold as ice, trying to make her realize she had mistaken him for someone else.

Leona looked at him straight in the eyes, holding his face that barely fit in her small hands. Rage and water were both battling in her eyes. “I won't regret it. Kiss me back,” she stammered.

He stayed rooted, resisting her the hardest as he looked away from her. He could easily push her away, but his heart refused, as it could hurt her. “Leona, you are my nephew's girlfriend. We can't be doing this. You are drunk right now and don't know what you are doing. How about this? You let go, and we will talk tomorrow,” he said, trying his best to reason and stop her from making a mistake.

But Leona, as stubborn as she was, refused to listen and kept on kissing him; her hand slid down to unbutton his shirt. “Your nephew slept with another woman. He's been cheating on me for the past six months. If he can do it, why can't I?”

Beads of tears escaped her eyes as she broke the kiss, placing her head on his chest, drowning in her sadness as her heart kept on aching. The man she loved madly was in the hotel with another woman, sleeping in her arms as he kissed her passionately.

When she witnessed her lover making love with another woman, she felt her heart ripped into countless pieces. His body once belonged to her, but now he gave it to someone else.

That was the moment she decided to take revenge. If he could cheat on her, she would do the same.

“Uncle, sleep with me. I know you hate him to the core. But tolerate me for just tonight.” She tilted her head upward with tears in her eyes after witnessing how intimidating he was at the moment.

Samuel Greek, Jack's uncle, felt something weighing on his heart when he saw her watery eyes. “I don't hate you, but what you are doing right now is wrong.”

Leona had enough. After hearing his continuous rejections again and again, she pushed him aside and made her way back to the party held on the first floor. “I understand. Since you are not willing, I won't bother you anymore. I am young and attractive. Many men would like to have me even for one night. I will just pick one among them.”

She had no choice but to look for someone else since he rejected her. Jack must regret what he did to her. His heart must go through the pain she is feeling right now.

Hearing her determination, he gave up and strode fast as he pulled her into his arms. Lifting her on his shoulder, he marched to his room. “You are not going anywhere,” he said coldly, his voice intimidating as it reminded her of their first meeting.

He hated the idea of someone seeing her naked or doing anything indecent to her.

“Let go. I said, Let me go. Since you hate me so much and don't want to do it with me, just leave me alone. I will take care of my own business,” she kept on punching him, but he refused to let go.

He entered the password to the apartment and rushed inside the room. It was dark inside. After landing her on the hard ground, she once again started kissing him, leaving him completely speechless.

Tears kept streaming down her eyes the entire time she had her lips on his. It was her revenge on her boyfriend of five years.

“Leona, you are drunk. Let's talk tomorrow.”

Landing hard kisses on his neck, she started undressing herself. But just when she reached to unzip his pants, he held her hand.

“Since you won't listen to me, I have no choice but to do this.” His husky voice rang her ear as he carried her in his arms to the bed.

She was too drunk to understand what she had gotten herself into.

The next morning when she woke up, a slight headache took over her. She looked around her surroundings and found herself on a stranger's bed.

Her eyes widened in shock when she found her hands tied together with a tie, constant pain in her waist, and she was sore all over as if she had done an intense workout last night. As if that wasn't enough, she found herself wrapped in a white blanket with no clothes underneath when she peeked. She panicked.

“Did I sleep with a stranger last night? Leona, what have you done? Why did you do it?” Leona cursed herself and found a man sleeping beside her.

She was in a large room, probably the hotel room given by the decoration.

Carefully putting the blanket aside, she got up from the bed but suddenly he pressed his hand on her, pulling her back into a hug and snuggling his head on her back.

Leona slowly turned around to see the man she slept with, as she had no recollection of the last night after the second drink.

But the moment her eyes fell on the person sleeping beside her, her heart sank, throbbing hard as her body started shuddering from fear.

“Jack's uncle Mr. Samuel? I am doomed. I am doomed. He will kill me if he sees me. I need to run right away. I can't be seen by him,” she gasped in shock to find Jack's uncle on the bed beside her. She needs to escape anyhow.

This man was not your average-looking guy who was easygoing and kind. But a cold-hearted and cruel man who cares for nothing and no one.

He had the gorgeousness and charm of the most handsome man, with those long lashes and high bridge nose, along with cherry-like, juicy lips. But his nature and character resemble the devil and the ferocious beast itself.

Placing his hands aside slowly and carefully, she tried to get up from the bed once again.

Her boyfriend Jack's uncle is known for his ruthless behavior, and she's been trolled by him countless times over the years she's been dating Jack.

“Where are you running so early in the morning? Sleep a little more. Last night was too rough for you. Don't overwork your body,” he said, slowly opening his eyes, the corner of his lips moved upward in a curve.

Leona froze on the spot and smiled awkwardly as she turned around. “Good morning, uncle.”

“Uncle? But you called me by my name last night. Don't you remember?” He smirked, pulling her back onto the bed and giving her a bear hug.

Leona was too stunned to speak. Is this the same man she knew all these years?

“I don't understand what you are saying. Did something happen between us last night? I was too drunk last night and don't remember what happened.” She tried dodging the bullet, but he just looked at her with no expression on his face.

He was silent for a moment before that devilish smile appeared on his face.

“It's okay if you don't remember what happened last night. We have plenty of time on our hands. Just so you know, it was you who forced herself on me last night. So you will take responsibility, right?” He asked with a straight face.

Leona started feeling even more guilty.

What have I done? she wondered. If he says I forced him into all this, I am a hundred percent sure I must have done this. He never lies.” Leona knew very well that Jack's uncle was known for his honesty and cruelty.

“Uncle, you sleep. I have one urgent matter to take care of.” Leona forced her body from his grasp. If she is to stay there, who knows how many embarrassing memories she would have to go through in front of him?

“See you after work. I will come to fetch you. Wait for me.”

Leona arrived late to work and got yelled at by her boss. Everyone talked about her, as she was still in the clothes she wore last night to the party.

Things took a turn when her colleagues started suspecting she hadn't returned home and must have slept with someone.

“Leona, last night must have been so passionate. You must have had so much fun last night,” her co-worker giggled as she spun her chair around and gave her flirty stares.

Leona was stunned as her eyes blinked several times but just shook her head. “Don't ask me about last night.” Last night was too embarrassing, she doesn't want to remember what happened.

Knowing she slept with her boyfriend's uncle was already a big blow to her; remembering what happened last night might kill her.

Her female coworker gave her a smug look and shifted on the same line as her, excited as she was. “What happened last night? You weren't in the mood last night and kept on chugging alcohol like a madman. And then you suddenly disappeared in the middle of the party. And now you showed up to work in this state. You don't look good either.”

Leona spun her chair to the side and handed her the files that were yet to be reviewed. “I need some time to sort out my memories. I myself have no idea what I did yesterday. But whatever I did, it was a disaster.” Leona slammed her hand on the marble table, and smacked her head on her hands, kicking her feet as she was embarrassed.

Leona came out of the office building with her colleagues after working hours. All of them giggled and gave her flirtatious looks after seeing Jack waiting for her outside.

“Enjoy the night,” they winked and hurried away.

“I didn't expect you to visit me after what happened yesterday. What? Is there still something left for you to show me? Hurry up! I have to return home,” Leona said sarcastically.

Jack held her hand and hugged her out of nowhere. “Leona, what you saw yesterday isn't true. You are the one I like and love, and it will always be you.” He held her tightly, refusing to let her go in fear that she might never want him again.

Leona pushed him away and looked at him disgustingly. “Who are you trying to fool? If it wasn't for Anne, I would never have known what kind of jerk you are. I saw you having sex with that woman with my own eyes. You were blatantly cheating on me and still have the nerve to say it isn't true?” She smacked his hand away which swarmed to her shoulder.

She loved him for five years, and maybe she still does. But now that love has been replaced by hatred, “It's all Anne's fault. Baby, that woman doesn't want you to be happy and keeps manipulating you. You have to understand that only I truly love you. Please don't be angry with me,” he again took her hand in his and kept giving her the puppy look.

He was blaming Anne, her best friend and also the childhood friend who never betrayed and always supported her in tough times.

If it were in the past, Leona would never believe he could cheat on her. But he broke her trust, she no longer has the heart to forgive him. She pulled out her hand from his and gave him a tight slap on the face. “This is for betraying me. We have been together for five years, and five years isn't a short time. I gave up my youth for you, I gave everything you ask. And I only asked you to be loyal to me, but you failed me. You should have at least respected my love for you. What you did can never be forgotten, and neither can I forgive you.”

She was truly hurt and was holding back her tears. It was heart-wrenching for her to even look at him. All she could remember was the time she saw him doing it with another woman.

Jack had enough and went ahead to kiss her forcefully, smashing his lips on her while she was still angry at him, he attempted to reconcile with her.

“Jack... Jack, let go. Are you out of your mind?” She stomped her heel on his feet and pushed him back.

She wiped her lips and shot daggers through her eyes. “You are worse than an animal. This is the last time I am forgiving you for doing this nasty stuff to me. Don't you dare come to me again? We are nothing to each other.” With that said, she turned around to leave.

He was shocked and confused. “Are you... breaking up with me? We have dated each other for five years. You can't do this to me. Think about those happy moments we shared. Tell me you are lying.” He grabbed her by the arms, hurting her even more and shattering her last pride.

Leona gulped down. Tears formed in her eyes once again as she gave him a look that was full of pain.

Just when she thought she would not be able to shake him off, Samuel Greek arrived at the scene, pulling her to his side as he smacked Jack's hand away.

“Was cheating on her not enough for you that now you want to force yourself on her? If she is saying it's a breakup, it's a breakup.” Samuel spoke in a cold tone, staring into his eyes.

“U... Uncle, why are you here? You don't have to worry about us. I will handle everything.” Jack smiled awkwardly as he saw his uncle appear out of nowhere.

But he believed that since his uncle was here, he would help and support him to gain her back.

“Uncle, can you drop me home?” Leona turned to him as she wiped her tears.

Samuel didn't lie. He didn't abandon or disappoint her. Just when she thought she was vulnerable and no one would help her, he arrived.

He nodded and wrapped his hand around her shoulder. “You must be tired. Let's go home.”

Jack was left surprised. “When did they get closer? Didn't Uncle always hate her?”

Back in the car while he was driving her home, she fell asleep in the front seat after shading many tears. She felt exhausted and found it hard to take in everything that happened in the last two days.

Samuel might not understand what she was going through right now, but he knew how much she loved that stupid nephew of his.

He stopped the car after they arrived, but instead of waking her, he let her sleep in his car. His hand glided smoothly through her round and chubby cheeks. “I won't ever let you go through the same pain again.”
