  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 90: Date Night

    Hope was two and a half years old when Aria and Damien finally managed to have their first proper date night alone since becoming parents.It had taken weeks of planning. Elena had happily volunteered to babysit, while Lydia had offered to remain on standby in case Hope needed anything. Damien, meanwhile, had secretly made reservations at a restaurant Aria had once mentioned in passing months ago, and she hadn't expected him to remember.Aria stood in front of the bedroom mirror, smoothing the fabric of her dress with nervous fingers. The dress was simple but elegant, falling softly around her figure. For the first time in months, she wasn't dressing for a family gathering, a business meeting, or a quick dinner at home—she was dressing for Damien.She studied her reflection for another moment before hearing footsteps behind her. Damien stopped in the doorway, his eyes traveling over her as a slow smile spread across his face. "You look beautiful," he said.Aria turned toward him. "You

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 89: The Birthday Party

    Hope turned two years old on a warm Saturday morning.The penthouse had been transformed overnight. Balloons floated near the ceiling in every color imaginable. Streamers hung from every doorway, twisting and curling in the soft breeze from the open windows. A large banner stretched across the living room wall, reading "Happy Birthday Hope!" in bright, cheerful letters that caught the morning sunlight.Aria had spent the previous evening decorating while Damien kept Hope occupied in the nursery. They had worked quietly, exchanging smiles and whispered instructions, careful not to wake their sleeping daughter. The effort had been worth it. The penthouse felt alive, bursting with color and anticipation.Hope woke early, her voice calling out from her room. "Mama! Daddy!"Aria hurried to the nursery, scooping her daughter into her arms. "Happy birthday, sweetheart."Hope blinked sleepily. "Birthday?""Yes, birthday. You're two years old today."Hope considered this for a moment, her tiny

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 88: Damien's Doubt

    Hope was twenty-three months old when Damien finally admitted something he had carried silently for years.It happened late one night, long after Hope had fallen asleep. The penthouse was quiet, the only sounds coming from the soft hum of the air-conditioning and the distant traffic far below. Aria woke when she noticed Damien's side of the bed was empty, and she found him standing on the balcony.His hands rested against the railing, his shoulders tense beneath his shirt, and his gaze was fixed on the endless city lights. He had been standing there long enough for the cool night air to settle around him. Aria wrapped a blanket around her shoulders and stepped outside."You've been out here for a while," she said softly.Damien didn't turn immediately. "I couldn't sleep."Aria moved closer. "Is something wrong?"He remained silent for several seconds. Then he released a slow breath. "I'm afraid."The words were so quiet that Aria almost missed them. She stood beside him. "Afraid of wh

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 87: The First Step

    Hope was twenty-one months old when she took her first real steps, and it happened on a Thursday afternoon that would later become unforgettable. Aria was in the garden deadheading the roses Damien had planted when she heard Elena's voice from the living room. "Aria! Come quickly!" Aria dropped the pruning shears and hurried inside.She burst through the French doors and stopped in her tracks to find Hope standing in the middle of the living room, her tiny legs wobbling beneath her. Elena knelt a few feet away with her arms stretched out, her face glowing with excitement. "Look at her," Elena whispered. "She's doing it." Hope's eyes remained fixed on her grandmother, her little hands clenched into fists and her face scrunched in concentration.Then she lifted one foot and placed it carefully in front of the other, taking one step that made Aria's heart seem to stop. Hope took another step, wobbling slightly before finding her balance, then another. Elena's eyes filled with tears as sh

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 86: Aria's Reflection

    Hope was twenty months old when Aria found herself standing alone in the garden. The afternoon sun hung low over the estate, casting long shadows across the neatly trimmed grass while the flowers Damien had planted glowed beneath the golden light. A gentle breeze moved through the leaves of the old oak tree as Aria sat on the bench beneath it, her hands resting loosely in her lap.She had been there for nearly an hour, allowing the quiet to surround her. Damien had taken Hope to the park, giving Aria something she rarely allowed herself to have time alone with her thoughts. There was no crying, no playful babbling, and no questions demanding her attention, only the rustle of leaves, the distant sound of traffic, and the occasional chirping of birds.Aria closed her eyes and took a slow breath. For once, she didn't feel the need to run from her thoughts. Instead, she allowed them to come. Her fingers slowly moved toward the scar on her wrist, the faded line she had hidden beneath long

  • My One-Night Mistake Is My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 85: Sunday Dinners

    Hope was nineteen months old when the Sunday dinner tradition began, happening almost by accident when Aria invited Elena over for a simple meal and Damien suggested they make it a regular occurrence. Lydia joined them the following week, and Vasquez soon became part of it too, and before anyone realized it, Sunday dinners had become something they all looked forward to.The penthouse transformed on those evenings, with the dining table expanded to accommodate everyone while the kitchen filled with the scent of roasted vegetables, fresh bread, and homemade sauce. Laughter echoed through the rooms, replacing the silence that had once made the penthouse feel cold. Aria stood in the kitchen, stirring a pot of sauce while Elena chopped vegetables beside her, their movements falling into an easy rhythm."You've become quite the cook," Elena said, and Aria laughed. "I've learned from the best." "Your grandmother would be proud." Aria's hand slowed, the spoon hovering over the pot. "Do you t

    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

    "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
