MARYLYN’S POV

“I am sorry Miss Smith I did not mean too-”

My eyes shot up and I glared at the woman that had just quickly become the bane of my existence.

Salem Grant.

She was a nobody, an impoverished little rat…her family was so far in bankruptcy that they could never crawl out of that abyss even with a six ft. long ladder.

So why was Atlas suddenly looking at her with interest? He had never gotten involved with my work before, but he had come to her defense, two times in a row! I looked down

  • A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS, A LIFETIME AS HIS WIFE   THE QUESTION IS, WHY NOT YOU?

    ATLAS’S POV“…”At this point, you could literally hear the echo of a feather falling on the ground. My eyes remained glued to the door, unblinking.When Rejoice sent me that video of Salem being bullied, I was so angry that I could not even breathe.That rage, and the guilt…She was humiliated like that because of me. Because she wanted to keep this thing between us a secret, and I could not shout to the hills that she was mine in the way that I wanted to.And that frustrated me to no end.“This meeting is over” I said and stormed out of my meeting, ignoring my partner and Michael … heck I did not even bother to wait for the driver. All I knew was that there was someone who was so important to me.And that was how we got to this moment.“I need to get out of here” Salem said shakily and stormed off.I glared at Marylyn.We had been friends for a long time, and she was the closest thing that I had to a sister growing up. Now, I did not even recognize who I was staring at right now.S

  • A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS, A LIFETIME AS HIS WIFE    LET IT BE KNOWN (2)

    SALEM’S POV“This is fucking bullshit!” Marylyn screeched.She walked forward until she was standing right in front of Atlas with an expression that could only be described as a dangerous mix of hurt and anger.From the slight sway in her steps, it was obvious that all the alcohol she took earlier was finally getting to her.Atlas put me behind him, and took a small step forward, shielding me with his frame.She pushed his chest, “Atlas why are you doing this, huh?!”He did not falter, just folded his arms “I should also be asking you the same question Maryln. This was supposed to be a get together. How then did it get turned to a fucking humiliation ritual?”They both stared each other down, none of them willing to yield from their stance.I gulped“…”“Why do you care so much?”Atlas took a step forward towards her “listen clearly because I am only going to say this once. Salem is not your scapegoat, nor is she here for any one of your amusements. Have some respect.”“That is not th

  • A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS, A LIFETIME AS HIS WIFE   LET IT BE KNOWN (1)

    SALEM'S POVThe second Atlas walked in; it was like the temperature in the room had dropped by a thousand degrees.His eyes were like a blazing furnace, ready to burn down everything in his path.The entire place was silent.In this moment, time had completely come to a standstill and even something as small as breathing felt like it would make him explode.He let those angry eyes go through each and every person present before settling heavily on Marylyn.“I asked you a question!” Marylyn was visibly shaking.Her friends that jade so much to say earlier had all taken a step back, leaving her alone to face him.She forced a shaky smile “Um… Atlas, why are you here?”He walked past her like she was nothing more than a pesky fly on the wall, scratch that, she could have as well been invisible to him. He did not stop until he was right in front of me, and then he cupped my face.“Are you alright Angel?” He said the words so quietly so only me could hear it, “Are you hurt?”He worriedly

  • A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS, A LIFETIME AS HIS WIFE   COME SAVE ME

    SALEM’S POV“Excuse me?”There was this sudden anger that came over me that made me so unreasonable all of a sudden. My face was still hard as I stared her down, not minding that now I was probably looking like a raging lunatic.“Atlas sent that as a gift for me, not you.”“…”The entire place was silent for a little more than a minute before everyone burst out laughing.“Fuck, Brokie Sally I did not know that you were fucking delusional as well” Tasha said loudly and the laughter only seemed to get louder.I did not back down though.The way I felt was strange. I could try my best to ignore the jabs they threw my way, and console myself with the fact that I know who I was anyways… their opinions did not matter.But here I was, drawing the line at claiming Atlas gift to me as hers.I would like to blame a large percentage of my actions on the alcohol, but I wasn’t sure… I was tipsy, not completely wasted. Rejoice stepped forward “Salem drove here in Atlas car; do you not think that

  • A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS, A LIFETIME AS HIS WIFE   IT’S NOT YOURS!

    SALEM’S POVThe murmurs began to spread all over the hall.And I wanted nothing more than to just fucking disappear. I should have known that coming here with Atlas car was bound to raise some concerns, and now I was regretting even coming here in the first place.My plan was to fade away into the spotlight and hope that we could possibly just move past this matter, but it seemed like Rejoice had other plans. She folded her arms and moved forward with a schandenfreude smile on her face.“Well, well Salem is the one with the boss’s car you know” she said with a shrug “I mean it is only natural to have such privileges as his-”“Rejoice!”Even though I managed to cut her off, she still seemed unfazed by my glare.Marylyn looked like she was losing her mind, her face was as red as an overripe tomato.And her eyes looked like they were about to bulge out from their sockets. She walked over to us like she was a character in freaking trolls or something, and if the situation was not as ten

  • A ONE NIGHT STAND WITH MY BOSS, A LIFETIME AS HIS WIFE   CIRCUS CLOWNS

    SALEM'S POV“I really wish that I could come with you angel, but I have something to attend to with work.”My face heated instantly.I still couldn't get over the fact that Atlas said he wanted to start flirting with me, for real this time.Sure, I was the one that agreed to try give this dating thing a real shot, but still…I was just not used to this version of Atlas. I liked it, so that there are no misconceptions there, it was just… shocking. He pinched my chin between his thumb and index finger and raised my face until we locked eyes. “Don't worry, I will send you with the driver and then I will send a gift there in your name.”“You don't have to-”“I want to.” And I just knew that was the end of this conversation, once Atlas had made his mind up on something, he would remain steadfast about it, and I had come to discover that it was much easier to let him be.I nodded once “okay, thank you.” The smile that settled on his lips was enough to take my breath away.He absentminde
