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.Yes! it was the first day in University!
The first thing Aria Bennett noticed about Westbridge University wasn't the size
It was the silence. Loud silence.
Not actual silence - there were students everywhere, laughter, heels clicking on marble floors, luxury cars lining the campus road,designer bags and shoes everywhere,- but there was a different kind of silence.
The kind that says: You don't belong here. You are not supposed to be here.
Aria adjusted the strap of her worn leather bag and kept walking.
She didn't care.
Scholarship.
That word was both a blessing and a spotlight.
Inside the lecture hall, whispers started before she even sat down.
"New girl?
"Wow.. she's gorgeous."
"She's pretty."
"She doesn't look rich..."
"But she looks beautiful anyway...."
Aria ignored them.
She never cares about words from people.
She chose a seat near the middle - not too front, not too back,not so middle, just near.
Then he walked in.
Leonardo Moretti.
The room shifted.
Not dramatically. Not loudly.
But noticeably.
Attention shifted.
Girls straightened. Boys nodded. Even the professor paused for a second.
Leo moved like he owned gravity.
Like he own the school
Black shirt. Watch,Shoe worth more than Aria's entire house. Calm expression.
And beside him - Vanessa Hartwell.
Leo's girl,they don't have a relationship filled with love, it's just an agreement to warm his bed and he spoils her silly in return.
Not a romantic relationship.
Vanessa wanted more,but agreement is agreement.
And there was absolutely nothing she could do.
Since she enjoys the fame,the thought of being his girl,seems perfect to her.
Perfect hair. Perfect smile. Perfect image.
She loves the attention that comes with it.
Vanessa leaned in close, whispering something in his ear.
Always playing the perfect girlfriend.
He didn't smile.
But he let her.
Aria noticed everything. Every single thing.
And then she looked away.
Because she wasn't here for rich boys.
She was here to survive.
She's going to face the scholarship that brought here.
No time for drama.
-
The first class begins.
The professor asked a complex economics question halfway through class.
Silence.
No one answered.
Maybe no one knew the answer.
Not until Aria calmly raised her hand.
She stood, voice steady, and explained the answer step by step.
No error.
The professor blinked.
Then smiled.
"That's brilliant!"
"Excellent analysis."
Murmurs filled the room.
Surprised.
