My Uncle?!!! Chapter 5

Chapter 5

Elijah stared at his reflection one last time, then let a slow, knowing smirk curl across his lips.

Elijah Whitmore (MC)

(to himself) Alright, author… if this is a punishment, then I’m playing to win.

He pressed the nurse call button and waited. When his parents—Lucien and Ren—walked in, the panic in their eyes made something twist in his chest... but he masked it with a warm, almost innocent smile.

Elijah Whitmore (MC)

I think I just needed rest… I feel so much better now.

Lucien Whitmore (MC's dad)

Thank God… I was so worried, sweetheart.

Ren whitmore (MC's step dad)

We’ll take you home, okay? You need time to heal.

Elijah Whitmore (MC)

Yeah. Home sounds perfect.

They hugged him like he was fragile glass. He hugged them back like the good boy they believed he was.

But inside?

Elijah Whitmore was awake.

Not just in this world, but in the game now.

He wasn’t going to be some desperate side character who died pathetically for the sake of someone else’s love story.

No.

He was gonna rewrite the damn plot.

Elijah Whitmore (MC)

(internally) Aurelius Kingston. Cold CEO with a weakness for soft boys. Luca Wren. The precious cinnamon roll love interest. Me? The ‘obsessed stalker’? Nah. I’m the wildcard now.

As the gates of their luxurious estate opened, Elijah cracked his knuckles and grinned.

Elijah Whitmore (MC)

Let the game begin.
