The Alphas Burning Heart by Karima Saad Usman

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.

Jaycob Muggins

I woke up to my head pounding. It hurts so much.

I guess I shouldn't have drank so much last night. Regretting my decision of drinking last night I turned to my right only to see a blond sleeping naked next to me. I smirked as the memories of last night came back to me. She was amazing.

But unfortunately she's gotta go.

Without waking her up I move off of the bed and get into the shower.

The shower felt great and relaxing. If I could stay in the shower all day I would but unfortunately I have to work. I didn't mind working, actually I loved it.

I am the CEO of a multibillion dollar company. I know I might sound like a workaholic but I enjoy being in the office because it's peaceful like a safe haven and I can do what I do best. Although I have to admit it can be stressful at times or most of the times

I quickly wrapped a towel around my waist and left the bathroom. Before my foot steps past the threshold of the bathroom I am greeted by my little blond friend. "Good morning Jay" Alicia, I think, said very seductively as she put her hand on my chest as she moves closer to me

"Good morning" I said without emotion as I removed her hand from my bare chest and walked around her. As I did I could see her fJay fall. "What's wrong? I thought you liked me Alicia was now pouting at me. Ha. I laughed to myself. Like that is going to work sweetheart.

"I liked you for one night not forever". I had said with a smirk on my face. With that said she lets out a loud gasp.

"What! How could you, you used me? I couldn't believe that Alicia was now shedding tears. Oh honey, so many people have tried that but not going to work. I thought to myself.

I rolled my eyes at her little show, "now don't you dare make me look like the bad guy here, you knew what you were getting yourself into last night. I clearly told you that this" I said pointing between Alicia and I "is only for one night.

As those words left my mouth. I saw Alicia had come right for my face at full speed: but I caught her hand before it hit my face. I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD DO THIS TO MEI HOW COULD YOU USE ME?" Is she really accusing me of "using" her?

"Oh no don't you dare accuse me of using you because if we go back to the bar there is video surveillance that you" I said pointing at her willingly came with me and me telling you that this was a one night thing" I was upset now. She will not be accused of doing something I didn't do.

"Whatever" was all she had to say. I knew it was fake because she dropped her tears fast, but I won't have anymore of her after what she had just said. "Now I was going to let you stay for breakfast but since you started this whole drama, I insist that you leave now while you can or I call security". I won't tolerate her. I don't tolerate anybody.

"WHAT !! ARE YOU REALLY KICKING ME OUT?" She shrieked. Man I am starting to really really really hate this woman. I still have a hangover from last night but on top of that I have a drama queen yelling at me first thing in the morning. "Be quiet and get out" I yelled back. I mean although the shower helped I still can't deal with this.

She huffed and put her clothes on very angrily and stomped out of my room. When I finally heard the door slam I left my room and went to the kitchen and made myself some green tea.

Once I made my tea I went out to the terrJay and sat down and enjoyed my tea.

After finishing my tea I left for work. Today was not a very busy day but today I had to hire a new assistant because my current assistant was going to leave in about 2 weeks to go back to Ohio so she could be near her parents.

I really didn't want to hire someone else because I can be a little complicated to deal with when.

"Good morning Mr. Muggins" I was greeted by the receptionist in the lobby of my office building.

As I made my way up to the top of the building I was greeted by my assistant Larry "Good morning Mr. Muggins. Today all you have to do is hire someone to be your new assistant and read the reports of all of the departments and make sure everything is alright.

"Okay Larry, in about 15 minutes let them in one by one." I say to my assistant as I head into my office.

"Alright Mr. Muggins."
