Lily’s POV

The first flower appeared on a Tuesday morning.

I didn’t notice it at first — my head was pounding from lack of sleep, my hands clutching coffee like it was oxygen. But when I sat at my desk, there it was: a single white rose, resting against my keyboard. No tag. No note. Just perfect white petals, soft as silk, wrapped in a black ribbon.

I blinked at it for a full minute.

“Girl,” Jenna said from the next cubicle, peering over the divider, “are you seriously getting flowers at eight a.m.? Who’s the mystery man?”

I gave a small laugh that didn’t reach my eyes. “I don’t know. Probably a mistake.”

“Please,” she rolled her eyes. “That rose screams romantic. You sure it’s not an admirer?”

“Admirer?” I choked on my coffee.

Jenna giggled and disappeared back behind her monitor. But I couldn’t stop staring at the rose. Something about it felt… intentional.

When I brushed my thumb across the petal, I noticed the faint scent of jasmine — expensive, rare, not the kind of thing you pi

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter seventy five: Confessions

    Andrew’s POV…..Night had always been my ally.In boardrooms, darkness sharpened my focus.In negotiations, it made men careless.In war — legal or otherwise — it hid the blood.But tonight?Tonight, the dark felt too loud.The penthouse was silent in that unnatural way that only happens after chaos has finally stepped back to watch. The city lights bled in through the glass walls, distant and cold, like stars that didn’t care if you lived or died.Lily slept beside me.Her breathing was soft, even. One arm rested across my chest like she belonged there — like she’d always belonged there — and that thought alone twisted something deep and vicious inside my ribs.I didn’t move.I was afraid that if I did, I’d wake her.And if she woke, she’d see it.The fear.I stared at the ceiling, counting the spaces between breaths, listening to the echo of everything I had destroyed.Sterling Enterprises was gone.Burned. Reduced to ash and headlines and speculation.The empire my father had raise

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter seventy four: Iceland

    Lily’s POV…….I woke up wrapped in warmth.Not the expensive, sterile kind that came from heated floors or silk sheets—but the real kind. The kind that hummed through skin and bone. The kind that made you forget, just for a second, that the world had ever been cruel.Andrew’s arm was draped over my waist, heavy and possessive even in sleep. His breathing was slow, deep, steady against my back, and I lay there listening to it like it was proof of something sacred. That he was here. That we were here.I shifted slightly, careful not to wake him, and smiled when he instinctively pulled me closer, burying his face into the crook of my neck.“Don’t disappear,” he murmured, voice rough with sleep.“I’m not,” I whispered back, my chest tightening. “I’m right here.”That seemed to satisfy him. His grip loosened just enough for me to slip out of bed, my feet touching the cool marble floor. I grabbed one of his shirts from the chair—too big, soft, smelling like him—and pulled it on as I padded

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter seventy Three: Night of desires

    Sophia's pov…..I sucked in a breath at the intensity blazing in Adrian Wolfe's eyes and the warning there, but my hands didn’t drop from his chest.“I’m the last thing you need, but it’s too late for you now. Now that I know what you taste like, the feeling of those fingers humming along my skin…” Herasped.My eyes flared, and I felt the defiance filling them. “You’re exactly what I need.”And I knew that was true. Because the universe and fates wouldn’t bond me to someone who didn’t balance me in some way. The same way I would balance them. We could find a wholeness together that we’d never be able to find apart.His eyes darkened. “You don’t know what you’re playing with,Little mouse”.My gaze didn’t move from his. “I’m not scared of you.”He moved in a flash, his hands locking around my wrists and pinning them above my head. “You should be.”My back and arms pressed against the tile, the coolness of the surface at war with my overheated skin. “Do your worst.”Adrian's mo

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter seventy two: Getting my bestie

    Sophia’s POV…….I was in my room when the news sank in.Not just heard it—felt it.My phone lay on the bed beside me, screen glowing with Lily’s message, the little ring emoji practically vibrating with excitement.> I said yes. I’m engaged.I stared at it for a full minute before I screamed.I actually screamed.I threw the phone onto the bed, clapped my hands over my mouth, and spun in a small, ridiculous circle like I was sixteen again and not a grown woman with bills and stress and a job that ate my soul.Lily. Engaged.After everything she’d been through—Ryan, her father, the kidnapping, the fear—she got a man who would burn empires for her and still look at her like she hung the moon.I flopped onto the bed, smiling at the ceiling.My best friend deserved the best in the world, she's the sweetest angelive ever met.“About damn time,” I muttered.I was still riding that happiness when my phone buzzed again.> We’re at a bar downtown. Don’t ask. Come if you want.I frowned.Anothe

  • A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS    Chapter seventy one: Best night ever

    Lily’s POVThe night air hit my face the moment we stepped out of the restaurant, cool and electric, like the city itself was exhaling with us.Andrew’s hand was still warm around mine.I glanced up at him, the streetlights catching the sharp line of his jaw, the faint crease between his brows that never fully disappeared—even when he was happy.“You okay?” I asked.He huffed out a breath that was almost a laugh. “I just proposed. I think I forgot how to breathe.”I smiled, lifting my left hand so the ring caught the light again. It didn’t feel real yet. None of it did. The fire. The kidnapping. The proposal. The way my life had detonated and reassembled itself around this man.“Come on,” I said, tugging his hand.“To the common club?” he asked as the driver opened the car door.“You trust me?”He didn’t hesitate. “With my life.”I grinned. “Good. Because I’m stealing you.”The car slid into traffic, the city blurring past the windows. Andrew sat stiffly beside me at first, jacket imm

This place had been my first taste of independence, my first real failure, my first lesson in letting go.It wasn’t sadness that tightened my chest.It was relief.I handed the keys to the agent and walked away without looking back.By the time I got into the car Andrew had sent for me, my phone buzzed.Andrew:It’s done. I had someone wire the money to the authorities. They found your father. He’s being taken back to rehab tonight. Long-term.
