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.

CHAPTER ONE - MARRIAGE WITHOUT MY CONSENT.

PRESENT DAY

"Gbam" my heart skipped a bit.

As the door Creeked open, it seemed to take an eternity to fully reveal the room beyond.

I lifted my head, feeling a sense of unease and confused at the euphoria. I shouldn't have been surprised, though. The grandeur of the hall was breathtaking, with elegant wallpaper and sparkling lights that reminded me of a disco.

The silence was peaceful and calming. I decided to take a closer look and stepped inside.

The beautiful sound of a violin and keyboard filled the air, and I smiled, feeling the grace of the atmosphere. I turned to say something to Vivian but didn't find her; she was just behind me earlier, right?

Where is she?

She was just right here... it's not like she disappeared or turned into thin air.

I looked around and saw that everyone was staring at me with smiles on their faces. Something wasn't right, something isn't right, for sure.

Suddenly, a man in his mid-forties approached me and interlocked his arm with mine. He whispered, "Let me walk you to the podium, daughter-in-law."

"Wait, daughter-in-law?" "What does that mean?" I started to panic, hoping they weren't mistaking me for someone else.

Is there other meaning for the word " daughter in law " apart from the one am familiar with.

Did I look like their bride to be?

Or did I have a twin somewhere or did my mom hide my twin from me.

Okay! Weird thoughts.

So much from ditching my sleeps and watching movies..

As we walked hand in hand together, i noticed a red carpet beneath my feet. The man tried to calm me down, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was wrong.

He tried to keep me at ease w.t.f does he think am nervous.

For fuck same AM CONFUSED, I screamed internally.

Okay scratch that am nervous as sh*t. Nervous of what was waiting for me, nervous of what awaited me.

Finally, we arrived at the podium, and I looked out into the audience, confused. Was this a wedding? Who was getting married? It's isn't me for crying out loud.
