Victor's reply came before she finished drying her face.

"Not over text. Too many eyes. Tomorrow. Noon. Same place."

Aria stared at the screen. The Half Moon again. The same crumbling bar where he had played her that recording. She should say no. She should block his number and never look back.

She typed: "Fine."

Then she threw her phone across the couch and walked to her bedroom. Sleep wouldn't come. She knew that before she lay down. But lying down felt better than standing still.

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 80: The New Beginning

    Three months had passed since Hope entered their lives, and the morning sun spilled across the garden of the penthouse, turning the grass gold and making the flowers glow beneath the warm light. Aria stood near the edge of the lawn, watching her daughter take her first uncertain steps, her tiny legs wobbling beneath her as she reached toward a cluster of flowers. Her dark hair lifted gently in the breeze, and her laughter filled the garden as Damien crouched a few feet away with his arms open. "Come on, Hope. You can do it."Hope looked at him, took one careful step, then another, her balance faltering for a moment before she steadied herself. Aria covered her mouth, smiling as she watched her daughter take another step, then another, until finally she reached Damien. He scooped her into his arms and laughed as she squealed with delight. "She did it!" he exclaimed, and Aria walked toward them, laughing. "You sound more excited than she does."Damien kissed Hope's cheek. "My daughter j

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 79: The Daughter

    Nine months after the day Aria discovered she was pregnant, the delivery room was brighter than she had expected. White walls, beeping machines, and the quiet hum of fluorescent lights surrounded her as she lay against the hospital bed, her hair plastered to her forehead, her body exhausted but her heart racing. Damien sat beside her, his hand wrapped tightly around hers, his face pale beneath the harsh hospital lights. He had not left her side since they arrived.The contractions had started at three in the morning, and Aria had awakened with a gasp, one hand clutching her stomach and the other reaching for Damien. "It's time," she had whispered, and he had been out of bed within seconds. The drive to the hospital had passed in a blur of streetlights and silence, with Damien keeping one hand on the steering wheel while the other held hers whenever the road allowed. His thumb traced slow circles across her skin, giving her something to focus on whenever another contraction came.Now,

    The bathroom was silent except for the soft hum of the fluorescent light, and Aria sat on the edge of the tub, staring at the small plastic stick trembling in her hands. Two pink lines. Clear. Unmistakable. She had taken three tests just to be certain, and all three had given her the same answer.She was pregnant.Her hand drifted to her stomach, still flat and unchanged, yet something inside her had already shifted. There was a new life growing within her, a future she had never dared to imagine. Six months had passed since her wedding to Damien, six months of peace, laughter, quiet mornings, and learning what it meant to be happy without constantly waiting for something terrible to happen.She thought about the night she had fallen down those stairs, the blood, the pain, and the fear that had consumed her. She had believed she might have been carrying a child then, only to discover that the test was negative. She had mourned the possibility of a child that never existed, carrying a

    The plane climbed through the clouds, leaving Washington behind as Aria pressed her forehead against the window. She watched the city shrink beneath her, the buildings growing smaller until they vanished beneath an endless stretch of white clouds. For the first time in years, she wasn't running from anything , she was simply leaving the past behind.Damien reached across the armrest and took her hand. "Nervous?""Happy nervous." She turned to smile at him. "I think that's going to be my default state from now on."He laughed softly. "I can live with that."She squeezed his hand. "Are you sure you don't regret marrying me?"Damien turned toward her, his expression instantly serious. "Not for a second."Warmth spread through her chest. For so long, she'd been afraid happiness was temporary, that if she relaxed for even a moment, something terrible would happen. But Damien was beside her, and this time, she wanted to believe in the future.---Their honeymoon villa sat on a quiet stretch

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 76: The Wedding

    The morning of their wedding arrived beneath a sky washed in pale gray, a soft drizzle tapping against the penthouse windows. Aria stood barefoot beside the glass, watching the city blur into silver and light. She looked down at the diamond on her finger, the stone catching a faint ray of sunlight breaking through the clouds. The word "fiancée" still felt strange, beautiful, almost impossible.Behind her, the mattress shifted, and familiar arms slipped around her waist. Damien rested his chin against her shoulder. "You're awake early." She smiled at their reflections in the glass. "So are you.""I woke up and my fiancée wasn't beside me." She turned in his arms, laughing. "You couldn't survive five minutes without me?" "Apparently not." His fingers closed gently around hers. "The ring isn't going anywhere."Her eyes met his. "Neither are you?" His expression softened. "Never." For several seconds, they simply looked at each other. This quiet moment felt more precious than any grand ce

    Aria woke the next morning with sunlight warming her face and Damien's arm still draped securely across her waist. For a few quiet seconds, she remained perfectly still, listening to his steady breathing. The events of the previous days felt strangely distant beneath the peaceful morning light. Victor. The danger. The losses. The fear. Everything seemed suspended for one fragile moment.Her gaze drifted toward the ring on her finger. She lifted her hand, watching the diamond catch the sunlight. A soft smile slowly reached her eyes. Fiancée. The word still felt unreal.She turned carefully in Damien's arms and pressed a gentle kiss against his jaw. "Good morning." Damien stirred, his eyes fluttering open. The moment he saw her, a slow, warm smile appeared on his face. "Good morning, fiancée."Aria laughed softly. "I don't think I'll ever get used to that word." "Then I'll keep using it until you do." He pulled her closer, and she rested her head against his chest. For several minutes,

    "Marcus sent another message," Aria said.Damien glanced at her phone from the driver's seat. The screen glowed in the dim light of the car. "What does it say?""He found the property records. The cabin where Victor kept my mother." She read aloud: "Old Harrington estate. East of the city. Abandone

    The silence after his confession lasted forever.Aria stood with her back against the door, her hand still frozen where the handle should have been. Damien hadn't moved from the center of the room. His confession hung between them like smoke—visible, suffocating, impossible to grasp.Three years.S

    Victor Harrington found her in the lobby.Not by accident. Aria knew that immediately. He was standing by the security desk, dressed in a charcoal suit that cost more than her degree, holding two cups of coffee like an old friend waiting for a delayed train.He smiled when he saw her.Not Damien's

    Aria lasted four hours before she realized something was wrong.Not with the job. The job was straightforward—emails, scheduling, a filing system so organized it felt almost obsessive. Lydia had trained her efficiently, answered every question, and disappeared exactly when Aria stopped needing her.
