The Billionaire’s Hired Slut

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.

KAYLA'S POV

Beep!Beep!Beep!

I groan as I try to turn off the ever-beeping alarm clock.

Thud...

I sulk as I fall to the hard floor. I stand hurriedly remembering that today is Evans's first day of school and I've got to get him ready for school. I rush to his room to see him still sleeping.

"Wake up sleepyhead," I say, as I shake him awake.

"Aargh," he says, as he hurriedly jolts out of bed. I chuckle and rush him into the bathroom. I tell him to have a quick bath and I run back to my room to quickly shower.

You may be wondering who I am...Hi, I'm Kayla Highlander, I'm 22 years old and I stay in a two-bedroom flat where I stay alone with my little brother after the death of our parents.

At that time, I was eighteen with no means of lively hood and a huge amount of bills to pay coupled with taking care of my little brother Evan who was then a year old. Life was tough having to work different jobs to put food on the table and cater to Evan's needs as well as enroll him in a school. If not for Noah and Lilly my two best friends who were there for me when I needed help the most, ever supportive and assisting.

Most times I think of mum and dad and how different life would have been if they were still here with us and I break down again wailing my hearts out but I have to be strong if not for my sake then for Evan's.

Today I have an interview at the biggest technology corporation for the job of the personal assistant of the CEO.

I don't think I'm cut off for the job but my two besties, Lilly and Noah persuaded me, and here I am, preparing myself and Evan before I make both of us late for our first days.

I head for the shower after picking out my outfit for the day from my limited and small closet of clothes. So finally I pick a navy blue pencil skirt and a white full-sleeved shirt.

As I wait for the water to get to the perfect temperature, I shed myself of my shorts and tank top which I slept in.

After 20 minutes of washing my curvy but petite body, I'm done and I grab a towel to rub myself dry before putting on my clothes.

I grab my phone to check the time and see I have nearly 45 minutes to get breakfast done, Evan dressed, drive him to school and reach Hawkins Corporation at the right time.

I hurry and put on a thin coat of mascara on my upper lashes and a subtle amount of lip gloss on my plump lips because I am not much of a makeup person.

Then I rush to Evans's room to see him all dressed and ready so I take him downstairs. I set his hurriedly prepared breakfast of pancakes and strawberry syrup in front of him. I grab a plate for myself.

"Kayla are you ready for your interview?" he asked and I smilingly ruffle his hair. "Yes I am and you've got to hurry up if you don't want to be late to school on your first day," I say and he hurries up.

Ten minutes later we are both done with our food. He grabs his bag and lunch, while I grab my handbag and purse. At last, we head outside to my old beaten-up car.

Fifteen minutes later I park in front of Evan's school.

"Be good and make friends, alright?" I tell him, as he hops down from the car and wishes me good luck. I kiss his cheek waving at him as he runs to class.
