MasukKeira buried her face in his chest, her voice trembling. “Maybe I’m not good enough for you.” He ran his fingers through her hair, then whispered. “You’re perfect for me. One walking disaster in this relationship is enough.” She sniffled, a small laugh breaking through. “Are you comforting me or mocking me?” He tilted her chin up, his lips hovering just above hers. “Both,” he whispered. And then he kissed her. ****** Keira Small has spent her life in the shadow of her family’s legacy as the daughter of the prestigious owner of Small Solutions Tech. But instead of following in her father’s footsteps, she chooses to keep her identity a secret and work elsewhere—all to be closer to the one man she’s never forgotten. When she’s sent to deliver documents to her enigmatic boss, the CEO of Dawnborne Inc., she doesn’t expect to find him intoxicated—or to end up in the bed of the one man she had never expected to have: her childhood crush. But one night of passion isn’t so easily forgotten, as an investigation was held by the CEO to find who the woman he slept with was. Buried feelings begin to resurface and secrets threaten to unravel, Keira must decide: will she continue to hide who she really is, or risk everything for the man she’s always wanted?

It’s been a long day.” She headed for the stairs, her heels clicking against the marble floor. “I’m sorry I didn’t keep my word yesterday—something came up.”“And that ‘something’ was more important than your soon-to-be company?” Misaki scoffed, crossing her arms. “Your father was disappointed by your absence.”Keira rolled her eyes as she climbed the stairs, her mother following close behind. “We’ve been through this a thousand times.” She glanced over her shoulder. “Is Dad mad at me?”Misaki exhaled, her expression softening slightly. “No. You could never do any wrong in his eyes.”“Then we have nothing to talk about.” Keira reached her bedroom door and pressed her thumb against the biometric scanner.“Actually,” Misaki said, tilting her head, “your in-laws and I have arranged a lunch tomorrow, and I’m making sure you attend.”K
The sound of her alarm woke her up the next morning. Keira reached for her phone pressing the snooze button. Her body ached in places and for a brief moment, she didn’t remember why.Until she rolled over.The sight of her boss—Casper—sleeping beside her sent a jolt of panic straight to her chest.“Oh God!” Her breath caught as she sat up, her heart hammering. “What did I do?”Shaking off the last traces of sleep, she snatched her phone from the nightstand. The moment her eyes landed on the screen, her stomach dropped.7:00 AM.“Shit!” she gasped, clamping a hand over her mouth.Panic surged through her veins. She was supposed to be home hours ago. She had promised her mother she wouldn’t stay out late.Now, she was definitely getting chewed out. And she was going to be late for work.Scrambling out of bed, she grabbed the pieces of her clothing strewn across the room, shoving them on as quickly as her shaky hands allowed. She didn’t dare look back before slipping out the door.*****
Keira arrived at the Hotel and approached the front desk, placing the neatly stacked project files on the counter. Oddly, the receptionist was nowhere to be seen. She glanced around, then up at the wall clock hanging above the desk. Shift change? Bathroom break? She wondered. Either way, she didn’t have time to stand around waiting.She sighed, tapping her fingers against the counter. She could just leave the files here and be done with it. But then again… what if they got misplaced? What if the receptionist didn’t return in time?She sighed and made her way toward one of the waiting chairs but hesitated mid-step. Her gaze flickered toward the elevators.“I should just deliver them myself. That’s more responsible, right?” She thought to herself, it seemed completely professional and not at all because she was curious about her boss who needed these documents so urgently.With that thought, she turned and strode toward the elevator, pressing the button for the 18th floor. As the doors
The sound of Keira’s phone buzzing had woken her up from her nap. Groggy and disoriented, she fumbled for it, squinting at the caller ID. It was her mother.She sighed, bracing herself before answering.“Where on earth are you, Keira?” her mother’s shrill voice exploded through the receiver, no greeting, no pause. “The event is about to begin! You promised me you’d be here on time!”Keira groaned as she rolled out of bed, “I’ll be there in five, mum.” She mumbled, rubbing her temples. But her mother kept going on at her end, “It’s that darn job you insisted on getting, if you had just listened to your father, you wouldn’t need to run around like some…”“See you in a few, mum.” Keira said, hanging up the phone before she could finish her sentence. Heaving a sigh she made her way into the bathroom, taking a quick shower and hurriedly doing her hair and makeup. She had barely made it on time but as she arrived at her parents mansion on her power bike, she realized that the guests hadn
