Lily’s POV…..

The red dot appears first.

It blooms on the marble floor like a drop of blood that hasn’t happened yet—small, precise, unforgiving. My breath catches so hard it hurts. For a second, my brain refuses to understand what I’m seeing. Then instinct slams into me.

Sniper.

“Andrew,” I whisper, my voice shaking.

He sees it at the same time I do.

In one smooth, terrifying movement, he steps in front of me. His body blocks my view of the dot, blocks me from it, like he can erase danger by sheer force of will.

“No,” I gasp, grabbing his arm. “Don’t—Andrew, move.”

He doesn’t even look back at me. His shoulders square, his stance widening, solid and unyielding.

“Get behind me, Lily.”

“I won’t,” I snap, panic clawing up my throat. “If anyone’s getting shot, it’s not going to be you.”

That gets his attention.

He turns then, eyes blazing, jaw clenched so tight I swear I hear his teeth grind. “Don’t be stupid.”

“I’m not being stupid,” I say fiercely. “I’m being realistic. You’re a bigger

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter ninety one: Not over yet

    Lily’s POV…..Time doesn’t move.It fractures.The gunshot doesn’t arrive as a sound first—it comes as a vibration, a violent ripple that tears through the air and into my bones. The world slows, stretches, like someone dragged reality through thick honey.Glass shatters.Not all at once. One pane explodes outward, shards catching the light as they spin like diamonds suspended midair. I watch them fall in lazy arcs, hear nothing, feel everything.Andrew’s hand tightens around mine.He’s still standing.I’m still standing.For a single, terrifying heartbeat, I don’t know if that means we’re alive—or just haven’t realized we’re dead yet.Ryan hits the floor.It’s not dramatic. No villain monologue, no final words. His wheelchair tips sideways, metal screeching against tile, his body collapsing in an ugly sprawl. Blood pools fast, spreading beneath him, dark and unreal.I stare.I don’t feel triumph.I don’t feel relief.I feel… empty.Then the world rushes back in all at once.Shouting.

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter Eighty nine: Coma

    Adrian’s POV………Hospitals have a smell.I never noticed it before—never really felt it—but now it’s everywhere. Sharp. Sterile. Too clean for the amount of blood it’s seen. It clings to my clothes, my skin, my lungs. Every breath tastes like fear and disinfectant.I’m pacing.Back and forth. Back and forth.The waiting room tiles are white, but in my head they’re stained red. I can still see it when I blink—Sophia’s blood soaking through her dress, her body going limp in my arms, her lips going pale as I begged her to stay with me.Stay with me.“Sir, you need to sit down,” a nurse says gently, like she’s afraid I might break.I turn on her so fast she flinches.“Don’t tell me to sit,” I snap. My voice cracks on the last word, raw and ugly. “She was shot. She was bleeding out in my arms. You people took her away and no one is telling me anything.”“I understand you’re upset—”“No, you don’t,” I cut in sharply. “If you understood, you’d be running instead of walking.”The nurse presses

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter Eighty eight: Kill for me

    Lily’s POV…..One thing about anger is that it made us do stupid things.I should have stayed where Andrew left me.That was what my mind kept repeating as I stood there, frozen among flashing lights and frantic voices, police officers ushering guests away, paramedics shouting coordinates into radios. I should have listened. I should have been obedient, safe, protected—wrapped in the bubble Andrew always tried to build around me.But fear does strange things to love.And love does reckless things to fear.The moment Andrew stepped away from me—his shoulders stiff, his jaw locked, his eyes tracking something I couldn’t see—I felt it. That shift. That instinct that had saved me more times than I could count.Something was wrong.“Andrew,” I whispered, but he was already gone, disappearing through the side corridor like a shadow peeling away from the light.My heart slammed violently against my ribs.I looked around. Everyone was distracted—police giving instructions, guests crying, Aria

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter Eighty seven: Let's end things

    Andrew’s POV…..The world after the gunshot felt like chaos—like the air itself had fractured.Police lights washed the wedding hall in violent shades of red and blue, sirens wailing, officers shouting orders in sharp, clipped tones. The joy that had filled this place minutes ago was gone, replaced by panic and the metallic taste of fear at the back of my tongue.Lily was shaking.I had my hands on her shoulders, steadying her, anchoring myself to the warmth of her body because everything else felt too close to slipping out of control. Her dress—our wedding dress—was stained now, a thin red line where the sniper’s laser had burned into the fabric before the shot. I couldn’t stop staring at it.Her friends blood all over her dress.She should have been bleeding.She should have been the one on the stretcher.Instead, Sophia—I clenched my jaw hard enough that my teeth ached.“Andrew,” Lily whispered, fingers curling into my jacket like she was afraid I might disappear if she let go. He

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter Eighty six: Don't leave me

    Adrian’s POV……The sound of the gunshot didn’t register as noise at first.It was more like the world cracked open.One second, everything was chaos—voices overlapping, Lily crying, Andrew shouting orders, Eleanore screaming like a broken siren—and the next, time slowed so violently it felt like my chest had been ripped open from the inside.Sophia moved.Not fast.Not dramatic.She simply stepped forward.And then she was falling.“No—!”My body reacted before my mind caught up. I was on my knees beside her before I even remembered crossing the distance. Blood bloomed through the fabric of her dress, dark and spreading, soaking into the white like a stain that would never come out.Sophia.My Sophia.Her eyes were wide, unfocused, lips parted like she was trying to speak but couldn’t find the air.“Hey—hey, hey, baby, look at me.” My hands shook as I cupped her face, forcing her gaze to mine. “Stay with me. Stay with me, okay?”My heart was pounding so hard I could hear it in my ears
