Lily’s POV

Airplanes and I have never been friends.

The way the engines roar, the metal tube shakes, and the whole thing depends on invisible air currents? Yeah, no thank you.

But here I was—thirty thousand feet above ground—gripping the armrest of a private jet like it was a lifeline.

“Relax, Miss Hart,” came Andrew’s calm voice beside me. “We’re perfectly safe.”

“Easy for you to say,” I muttered, my eyes glued to the tiny oval window. “You’re used to all this luxury.”

He smirked faintly, flipping open a hardcover book. “Luxury doesn’t defy gravity, Lily.”

Oh we're on first name basis now.

The jet was silent except for the low hum of the engines. Across from us sat two other shareholders, speaking quietly, and one of Andrew’s board aides typing on a laptop.

Meanwhile, I was silently making peace with God.

Andrew noticed. “You’re terrified.”

I shot him a glare. “Brilliant observation, Mr. Sterling.”

He chuckled softly, unbothered. Then, after a pause, he said, “When I was younger, I h

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter ninety seven: New beginnings

    Sophia’s Pov…The drive was quiet.Not uncomfortable—just… heavy. Like the air itself was still figuring out where it belonged.I watched the city blur past the window, streetlights streaking gold against the dark, my reflection faintly visible in the glass. Every few seconds, my eyes flicked back to Adrian’s hands on the steering wheel. Long fingers. Steady grip. No hesitation.He drove like someone who always knew where he was going.I didn’t.When the car slowed and turned into a private road lined with tall hedges and soft lights, I sat up a little straighter.“Where are we?” I asked.Adrian glanced at me briefly. “Home.”The gates opened smoothly, silently, and the car rolled forward.Then I saw it.My breath caught.The house rose before us—modern and imposing, all glass and stone and clean lines. Warm light spilled from tall windows, illuminating a sweeping driveway and manicured greenery that looked almost unreal after months of hospital white.“Wow,” I breathed before I could

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    chapter ninety six: new home

    Sophia’s POV……Being discharged should have felt like freedom.That’s what everyone kept saying.But as I sat on the edge of the hospital bed, legs dangling, feet barely touching the cold floor, all I felt was exposed. Like I was being pushed out into a world I didn’t recognize with a body that still felt fragile and unfamiliar.The room smelled like antiseptic and drugs.Machines that had kept me alive for months were suddenly quiet, unplugged, rolled away. I felt oddly abandoned by them.Lily stood near the small couch, folding clothes neatly.“These are clean,” she said gently. “I thought… something simple would be comfortable.”She handed them to me.A pair of blue jeans. Soft-looking. Slightly worn at the knees. And a cream sweater that smelled faintly like detergent and something floral—maybe her perfume.I stared at them.“Thank you,” I said, though my voice sounded distant, like it didn’t belong to me.I changed slowly behind the thin curtain. Every movement felt strange, like

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter ninety five: We all need friends

    Sophia’s POV…..Pain was the first thing I noticed.Not sharp. Not unbearable. Just… heavy. Like someone had wrapped my head in cotton and tightened it too much. Every thought moved slowly, dragging itself forward like it had to wade through water to reach the surface.The second thing was light.Too bright. Too white. It hurt my eyes, even when they were barely open. I blinked once. Twice. The ceiling stared back at me—smooth, unfamiliar, humming softly with machines I didn’t recognize.Hospital.I knew that much. Somehow.My head throbbed again, and I squeezed my eyes shut, swallowing against a wave of nausea.“Easy,” a voice said softly.A man.I opened my eyes again.He was sitting close—too close for a stranger, I thought distantly, but something about him didn’t feel wrong. Dark hair slightly disheveled. Eyes rimmed red, like he hadn’t slept in days. His hands were clasped together so tightly his knuckles were white.He was watching me like I might disappear if he blinked.Conce

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter ninety four: Don't hurt my friend

    Lily’s POV…..The hospital corridor felt too bright, too white, too quiet for what was happening inside my chest.Sophia was awake.Not awake-awake—not the way I’d imagined over the past year. Not with a smile, or confusion, or that soft laugh she always gave when she didn’t recognize a place right away. She was awake in body, breathing, blinking… but her eyes had passed over us like we were strangers on a street.And Adrian—I clenched my fingers into the fabric of my coat as I watched him stand there, rigid, like if he moved even an inch, the ground beneath him would split open.When he said fiancée, the word landed like a dropped plate. Loud. Shattering. Impossible to ignore.Andrew’s hand slid into mine, warm and steady. “Let’s go outside,” he said quietly, his tone gentle but firm. Not a suggestion. A decision.Adrian didn’t resist when Andrew touched his shoulder. He followed us out of the ward like a man walking through fog.The moment the hospital doors slid shut behind us, th

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter ninety three: Marry me again

    Lily’s POV…..Andrew wakes me before the sun is up.At first, I’m only aware of warmth—his palm resting on my waist, his breath soft against the back of my neck. Then his lips brush my shoulder, slow and deliberate, and I stir with a quiet hum.“Morning, wife,” he murmurs, voice low and intimate.I smile into the pillow. “It’s too early to be charming.”“It’s never too early,” he says, kissing me again. “Get dressed. I’m kidnapping you.”That makes me turn. I squint at him through sleep-heavy lashes. “Kidnapping? After everything we’ve been through, you think that’s wise?”He grins, that familiar crooked smile that still makes my heart trip over itself. “Trust me.”I should ask questions. I don’t.Instead, I stretch, steal a quick kiss from him, and slide out of bed. The morning light spills through the windows, painting everything gold and soft. For the first time in a long while, the world feels quiet. No sirens. No fear. Just us.Andrew hands me a simple dress—soft fabric, light co

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter ninety two: Bake a cake

    Lily’s POV…..Home doesn’t feel like a place anymore.It feels like a breath you didn’t realize you were holding finally being let out.The doors slide shut behind us with a soft click, sealing out the chaos, the sirens, the screaming, the blood, the fear. For a moment, none of us move. Andrew’s hand is still locked around mine, firm and steady, as if he’s afraid I might disappear if he lets go.Aria and Aiden stand a few steps away, frozen, eyes wide, faces pale. They look too young to have seen what they’ve seen. Too young to carry the weight of tonight.I slip off my heels and leave them by the door. My ruined wedding dress rustles as I move, the fabric stiff where it dried with blood and tears. I should want to change. I don’t.Andrew finally exhales, a slow, shaky breath, and turns to face the twins.“Come here,” he says gently.Aria doesn’t hesitate. She rushes forward and throws herself into his arms, burying her face in his chest. Aiden follows more slowly, jaw clenched, eyes
