My ex became my billionaire boss
My Ex Became My Billionaire Boss
Seven years ago, Olivia Carter walked away from the only man she'd ever loved, shattering his heart without a single explanation.
She buried the truth, left town, and built a quiet life around the one secret she swore she'd protect forever….Keep her daughter safe and far away from Adrian Kingston.
But fate has other plans….
On the first day she finally meets Kingston Holdings' mysterious CEO and her boss, Olivia comes face-to-face with the man she thought she'd never see again…Her ex, the man she had betrayed.
Adrian is no longer the struggling college student she once knew. He's now New York's youngest billionaire, feared for his ruthless business empire and the cold heart that made him untouchable.
The moment he sees Olivia, the past comes crashing back.
And when he discovers she's been hiding a little girl...His obsession spirals into something far more dangerous. Who is the child's father? Why did Olivia lie seven years ago? And why does the thought of another man touching her make him want to destroy everything in his path?
As buried secrets begin to surface, old wounds reopen, powerful enemies close in, and a love built on betrayal becomes a dangerous game of possession.
Because Adrian Kingston has decided one thing……
If Olivia Carter walked back into his world, she's never walking out again.

Chapter: What the law saysOlivia's POVBy six in the morning I'd already gone through three cups of coffee and every excuse I could think of not to make the call. At seven, I made it anyway.Marissa Chen had been a family lawyer for almost ten years. We'd met at Lily's old daycare, back when her son was in the same class, back before I even had a reason to need a lawyer for anything. I'd kept her number in my phone the way you keep a fire extinguisher, hoping I'd never actually have to use it.She picked up on the second ring. "Olivia? It's early.""I know, I'm sorry. Just need to ask you something….Hypothetically.” I said quickly."Okay." She paused, could hear her moving somewhere quieter. "Go ahead.""If a father found out about a child, after years of not knowing... and he had a lot of money. Like, a lot. Could he actually win custody? Even if the mother's been the only parent the whole time?"The silence on the other end lasted a moment."Olivia. Is this hypothetical, or is this about you?"I closed my ey

Chapter: Bad liarOlivia's POVI stepped back so fast I nearly knocked over the chair behind me."Lily." My voice came out really loud. I cleared my throat and tried again. "Sweetheart, go finish your show, okay? I'll bring your food in a minute."Her eyes went from me, to Adrian, then back to me, narrowing the way she always did when she was trying to figure something out."Mom, were you kissing your boss just now?""What? No." I said quickly, my face already heating up. "You were." She crossed her arms. "I saw it.""You didn't see anything, baby, Mr. Adrian was just…" I glanced at him for help. He was of no help at all. He just stood there with his arms crossed too, clearly enjoying this. "He was just leaving.""Then why was his hand on your face?"I opened my mouth but nothing came out. I thought we moved before she came in.She tilted her head. "Are you guys dating?""No…." I said too quickly again, I hated how obvious I was being."You sound like you're lying.""I'm not lying, why would I lie, we

Chapter: Seven Years, Marked in PencilAdrian's POVOlivia didn't ask why I had followed her into the kitchen. She just kept working.She stood at the counter with her back to me, finishing whatever she had decided to make. Every now and then, the spoon touched the side of the bowl, the only sound between us.I didn't say anything. She kept glancing at me secretly from the corner of her eye, waiting for me to start something. I let my eyes wander around instead. It was a small kitchen, nothing like the spaces I was used to. There were children's cups beside the sink, a few drawings held to the refrigerator with magnets, and a pair of tiny shoes abandoned near the doorway. I turned, my eyes found something at the door frame beside the kitchen entrance. Faint pencil marks, each one dated in Olivia's handwriting. A series of dates had been written beside small lines drawn across the wood.“2 yrs….3 yrs….4 yrs.” Climbing higher every year, all the way up to a line marked just a few months ago….Seven marks.I stood there, sta

Chapter: The Ride HomeOlivia's POV"What are you doing with my daughter?"I crossed the distance between us and rested a hand on Lily's shoulder, pulling her a little closer to me.Adrian stood from the bench, his attention moving from Lily to me. He didn't look surprised to see me. If anything, he looked like he'd been expecting this. "Olivia.""That's not an answer."Lily looked between us, her drawing still clutched in one hand, confusion pulling her small brows together. "Mommy, we were just talking."“I know, sweetheart.” I softened my voice for her, then looked back at Adrian. "Go get your bag from Miss Reyes, sweetheart." I kept my eyes on Adrian. "I'll be right there."Lily hesitated, glancing at Adrian like she was checking whether it was okay to leave him, that really bothered me. He gave her a small nod. Only then did she walk off, throwing one last curious look over her shoulder.The second she was out of earshot, I lowered my voice. "You can't just show up at her school." "I wanted to meet he

Chapter: BossAdrian's POV"Come in."Ethan stepped inside, his tablet already in his hand. "Sir, the developers are waiting downstairs. We have about twenty minutes before the inspection."My eyes were still on the DNA report lying open on my desk.She had walked into this building every morning knowing exactly who I was, she had stood across from me, answered to my orders, looked me in the eye and pretended we were strangers. And all this time, she had known…she had known Lily was mine.My thumb pressed against the edge of the report as another thought settled into place. I looked at Ethan. "Cancel the inspection."He paused. "Cancel it?""Yes." I closed the report, pushing it aside."There's something else you're going to do for me."He came closer. "What is it?""I want every legal option available to me regarding Lily."His expression changed slightly, but he recovered quickly. "Custody?""Whatever applies."He unlocked his tablet. "If you're talking about custody, we'll need to establish you

Chapter: Consultation roomAdrian's POVWe followed Olivia for nearly twenty minutes before the taxi finally turned through the gates of Maplewood General Hospital.I slowed the SUV and let the taxi disappear beneath the covered entrance.Olivia climbed out first, then opened the rear door, carefully lifting Lily into her arms, and hurried inside without looking around.I watched until the glass doors swallowed them."Five minutes," I said.Ethan glanced at me. "You want to go in now?""No….if she sees us, she'll leave."He nodded and pulled into a parking space farther down the lot.Five minutes felt longer than it should have. I kept looking toward the entrance, trying to make sense of what I had seen at the school. Lily's face had been burned into my mind, especially those eyes. I had spent years convincing myself that Olivia had simply chosen another life without me. Now there was a child who looked like she had been pulled straight out of my childhood photographs.When the five minutes were up, Ethan and I
