My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 69: The Decoy
The SUV climbed higher into the mountains as Washington disappeared behind them, its towering buildings becoming distant silhouettes before vanishing beneath the thickening trees. Dark clouds gathered above the peaks, turning the afternoon sky a dull gray as the road narrowed and twisted deeper into the wilderness. Inside the vehicle, silence dominated, broken only by the steady hum of the engine. Aria sat in the back seat, turning the brass key between her fingers, every brush against the strange emblem stirring fragments of memory she couldn't quite grasp."How much longer?" she asked, and Vasquez glanced at the navigation screen. "About twenty minutes." Damien looked toward the mountains through the windshield. "Any sign of Victor?" "Nothing obvious," Vasquez replied. "But that doesn't mean we're alone." Aria leaned forward. "He knows we're coming." Damien's expression hardened. "Yes." "Then why hasn't he stopped us?" "Because he wants us to keep going." Damien glanced at the brass
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 68: The Breaking
Damien watched Aria in silence.The first light of dawn crept through the floor-to-ceiling windows, replacing the storm clouds with a pale gray sky. The rain had stopped hours ago, but the air still carried the scent of wet earth and cold concrete. Washington was waking up, unaware that two lives had been completely overturned in a single night.The penthouse felt strangely unfamiliar. Every corner of the room reminded Aria of what Damien had sacrificed. The untouched coffee cups on the table. The scattered documents from Blackwood Enterprises. The brass key lying beside Carter's handwritten note. None of it looked ordinary anymore.She sat on the edge of the sofa, staring blankly at the city below. "I still can't believe you did it," she whispered.Damien, who had been standing near the window, slowly turned toward her. "I know.""No..." She shook her head. "I don't think you do." Her voice was quiet, but every word carried the weight of the guilt crushing her heart. "You spent years
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 67: The Anger
The penthouse had never felt so quiet.Rain drummed steadily against the floor-to-ceiling windows, washing the glittering lights of Washington into blurred streaks of gold and silver. Cars crawled through the soaked streets below, their headlights cutting across puddles like ribbons of light. Inside, neither of them spoke.Aria stood with her back to Damien, her arms wrapped tightly around herself. Her reflection stared back at her from the dark glass, but she barely recognized the woman looking back. Only hours earlier, Damien had signed away everything he had spent years building. His company. His dream. His legacy. All because of her.A quiet footstep sounded behind her. "Aria." His voice was gentle. Too gentle. She inhaled slowly but didn't turn around. "Please... talk to me."Her shoulders stiffened. When she finally faced him, tears shimmered in her eyes, but they weren't tears of relief. They were tears of anger. "Don't." The single word sliced through the silence. "Don't come
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 66: The Truth
The penthouse felt different now.Aria stood beside the floor-to-ceiling windows, watching rain streak across the glass while the lights of Washington shimmered below. The city carried on as though nothing had happened. Cars moved through flooded streets, helicopters crossed the dark sky, and distant sirens echoed between towering buildings. Somewhere beyond the storm, Blackwood Enterprises continued operating under new ownership.It felt impossible. Only hours earlier, Damien Blackwood had been one of the most powerful men in the country. Now, he owned nothing except the clothes he wore, the people who remained loyal to him, and the woman he had sacrificed everything to save. The weight of that truth settled heavily inside Aria's chest. She hadn't moved for nearly an hour.Behind her, soft footsteps broke the silence. Damien stopped a short distance away, studying her reflection in the glass. "You've been standing here a long time," he said quietly. She didn't answer immediately. "I
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 65: The Empty Office
The executive floor had never felt this quiet.Aria stepped out of the elevator and paused, her heart tightening as she looked down the long corridor. Days ago, the hallway had been alive with ringing phones, hurried footsteps, and conversations about million-dollar deals. Now, everything was silent.Most of the office lights had been switched off, leaving only a few ceiling fixtures casting pale pools of light across the polished floor. Cardboard boxes were stacked outside executive offices. Company logos had been removed from the walls. A maintenance crew quietly dismantled a display bearing the Blackwood Enterprises name. Aria swallowed hard. The emptiness felt wrong.This place had once reflected Damien's determination, ambition, and countless sacrifices. Now it looked like a building waiting to forget him. She continued walking, each step echoing through the corridor. Employees who passed her lowered their heads respectfully. Rumors had spread, but only a handful knew the truth b
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 64: The Fall of an Empire
The silence inside the boardroom lingered long after the transfer was complete. No one moved. No one spoke. The large screen mounted on the wall still displayed the same message: OWNERSHIP TRANSFER SUCCESSFUL. Damien Blackwood was no longer the owner of Blackwood Enterprises. The words seemed unreal.For years, that company had been his life. Every expansion, every merger, every difficult decision had carried his signature. He had rebuilt the empire from the ruins his father left behind, earning the trust of employees who once doubted him. Now it belonged to Victor Harrington.Lydia slowly lowered the tablet in her hands, tears shining in her eyes. "I'm so sorry, Mr. Blackwood." Damien remained surprisingly calm, buttoning his suit jacket before walking toward the floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Washington. Heavy rain blurred the skyline, turning the city into a sea of gray. "It's done," he said quietly.Vasquez stepped closer. "We can challenge the transfer." Damien shook his he
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 4: The Name That Shifted Everything
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
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 3: The First Crack in Control
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.
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 2: The Job That Was Never a Coincidence
The car stopped in front of a building Aria didn't recognize.Not a home. Not yet. The sign above the entrance read Blackwood Enterprises in letters that caught the morning light like they were carved from something precious. She had never seen this place before. She had never heard this name befor
My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss Chapter 1: The Man She Shouldn't Remember
The silk beneath her fingers was the first warning.Aria's eyes snapped open before her mind caught up. Gold ceiling. Crystal chandelier. Sheets that cost more than her monthly rent. Nothing in this room belonged to her. Nothing in this room belonged to anyone she knew.She sat up fast. The sheet p
