Hooked on my Ex's Uncle!Updated at Jun 20, 2025, 04:43
Hooked on my Ex's uncle! ---On the very morning we were meant to seal our forever with a signature, he ghosted me. No calls. No texts. Just a cold, half-assed message: “Caught up with work. Rain check?” Work? Seriously, Archer? After six years of devotion, of molding myself around his moods, his needs, his chaos — this was how he repaid me?I met Archer Blackwood when I was just a bright-eyed twenty-something with wild dreams and a soft heart. Now I’m thirty-two, worn at the edges, still clinging to the fantasy that love was supposed to feel like home. My family? They’re relentless — Sunday brunches turned into weekly interrogations: “When’s the wedding, Sloane?” “Tick-tock, darling.”He knew I was drowning in the pressure. I begged, hinted, outright cried for clarity. Then, just when I was about to walk away, he flipped the script — a grand, sweeping public proposal. Ring. Knees. Applause. The works. I should’ve been thrilled. Instead, I felt like a puppet being yanked by glittering strings.And let’s not even start on Rosemary — the woman he's called his “sister” since they were kids. Cute title, right? Except the way she touches his arm lingers too long. The way her eyes find mine? Possessive. Territorial. Like I’m the one intruding. I’ve seen enough to know she doesn’t see me as his future wife — she sees me as competition.But this time? I’m done playing sweet. I’m done swallowing my pride just to keep his love. If Archer wants to disappear, let him. Because someone else has entered the picture — someone unexpected, intoxicating, and wildly off-limits.And if falling for him is wrong... I’m not sure I want to be right anymore.
