Helplessly in love

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

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.

(Aubrey's pov)

"Rey, wake up. "

I heard a voice whispering into my ear. I knew who the voice belonged to." Isla"

My best friend.

"What do you want?" I asked grumpily.

"Are you serious?, still on bed by 7am" She yelled and her voice was loud enough to make my sleep disappear.

"What?, 7.am, f**k" I pushed her away and ran into the bathroom.

7.00 in the morning. Like what was I thinking?, sleeping so late.

I wore my snickers and combed my long hair not forgetting to put on my face cap. As I walked out of my small room, the aroma of mom's tossed bread filled the air. Too bad, I wasn't going to stay for breakfast.

"Mom, I'm off" I shouted.

"Stay for breakfast, hun"

"I'll come by, later in the day"

With that, I scurried off to my bike.

I'm Aubrey Cox. My mom's name is Rena Cox and i'm the only child. Well, f**k dad. I don't wanna talk about him. My best friend's name is Isla Gomez.

I don't have any particular job, I do many jobs depending on my time.

Here are my daily routine.

From 6 to 9 am, i work for Mrs maria at her home, preparing the kids for school and doing some house chores. From 10am to 1pm, i work at Mason 's restaurant. I just cook and wash the dishes. At 2 to 5pm, I work at Mr grumpy 's gallery shop.

At 6, i help mom at her small restaurant down the street. I'm a very busy person.

Apart from working so hard, i have a part time classes.

"Slow down, Rey" Isla warns.

"I'm late and I'm gonna loose my pay today if I don't get on .... "

I quietly shut my mouth up and continued riding.

I knew it was useless talking to her at this point.

In not less than 20 minutes, I parked my ride behind her house and jumped the stairs to Mrs Maria 's door. I knocked lightly on her door and Mrs Maria opened almost immediately.

"You came late, Aubrey" She started.

"I'm so sorry, Mrs Maria. I overslept and..."

"Cut the crap and get to work"

with that being said, she left leaving i and Isla alone.

"Bye Rey " I said and she smiled before walking up the street.

(Rowan's POV)

My eyes were glued on my laptop when my best friend came in.

"Manny, you're not going for lunch, are you?" He asked as if he doesn't know the answer to it.

I kept quiet still working on some documents.

"Your mom called me"

I rolled my eyes.

"I know, she calls everyday" I answered nonchalantly.
