One Night With My Billionaire Boss
I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.Nathan Cross, the infamous underworld boss, married Jane Rivers on the day her family's wealth collapsed. He had harbored a secret love for her for a decade.
After their marriage, he treated her like royalty.
Jane believed she had found the right man, until their fifth year together.
She discovered she was pregnant, but Nathan, who had always cherished her, demanded she terminate the pregnancy.
She overheard him speaking with a friend, only to find that Nathan was having an affair, and for that woman, even went so far as to force Jane to abort the child.
Worse, she learned he had engineered her family's downfall, driving her parents to their deaths.
Jane contacted Nathan's sworn enemy abroad and faked her death to escape.
After she was gone, Nathan wept, pleading for her return.
But it was too late. The pain he inflicted would be repaid a hundredfold.
...
No one knew that Nathan Cross, a man feared by all, hid a deep love for Jane, the brightest rose in Eldridge society.
From the moment he first felt love, he was captivated by her, keeping his feelings hidden for ten years.
When Jane casually mentioned she preferred clean-cut men, he abandoned his criminal empire to rebuild his life for her.
He sought out her preferences, mastering the art of baking her favorite osmanthus pastries.
Every business he owned carried her name in some subtle way.
His bedroom walls were plastered with her photographs.
Finally, on the day Jane's family went bankrupt and her parents took their lives, he found the courage to confess his love.
Upon learning this, Jane fell for Nathan.
He spoiled her endlessly after they got together. Extravagant jewelry arrived constantly, and he once lined an entire coastline with roses just to make her smile. When he learned she wasn't ready for children, he got a vasectomy.
Jane thought she had married the right man.
Then, in their fifth year, she became pregnant unexpectedly.
Nathan, who had always adored her, insisted she end it.
She refused, determined to keep the baby.
That day, they parted on bitter terms, and his affection for her vanished.
In her presence, he spent millions to buy Claire Winters' virginity.
Later, Jane found a piece of provocative clothing in his sleek black car.
When she confronted him in his study with divorce papers, he was video-calling Claire.
His muscular arm moved rhythmically, his deep voice thick with desire. "Sweetheart, I miss you so much."
