ARLO’S POV

I wanted to take Aurora back to my office when I recalled that I was still being a pauper. Hopefully, I would not blow up my own cover.

We had to convey at the mansion where I called Gideon.

“He is just a close friend and confidante of mine, and I think we might need an extra head to think about how to counter something as real and deep as what Maverick just accused us of,” I had explained to Aurora when she asked why I was inviting a third party.

“In that case, I should also invite Eudora, my best friend. She is perfect when it comes to things like this, and she absolutely hates Maverick,” Aurora had said.

I had wanted to say that her best friend did not like me as well, but I didn’t want Aurora to think that I didn’t want her own friend to be present, so I had no choice but to agree.

“It’s fair point,” I had told her.

About half an hour later, myself, Aurora, Gideon, and Eudora are all seated in the living room to deliberate on the issue at hand.

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   No Such Thing As Happy Endings

    ARLO’S POVI waited for Gideon in my office because of the plan we already made, and as usual, he did not disappoint me.He came at the exact time he promised to show up.“Shall we leave?” I asked him.“Yes, but I just got an information and I need to tell you about it,” Gideon said.“What information is that?” I asked him.“I heard from a reliable source that Hawk is hiding in a brothel across the city,” Gideon revealed.My blood began to boil instantly.“How reliable is this information?” I asked Gideon.He knows how much I detest being told what wasn’t authentic, and at the same time, I wanted to hold Hawk with my bare hands and force the confession out of his mouth.“A hundred percent,” Gideon responded.“And how long can we keep him there?” I asked.“Not sure, because from what I gathered, he has been going from one brothel to another, desperately trying to hide,” Gideon stated. “I would advise that we go there first so that we can catch him,” he suggested.“But what we are going

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   Forgery

    AURORA’S POVI cannot believe that I let Eudora talk me into doing this. I have never been a fan of her stupid and crazy ideas, and this was even worse.“What if he finds out?” I had asked her after drafting a commanding letter from the M&T Empire CEO with his fake signature.“How is he going to know?” Eudora had asked me in return.“This is Arlo’s boss we are playing with and it’s dangerous, Eudora. It could land us both in jail if we get caught. This is forgery, and as such, a crime,” I had warned Eudora.But as always, she never listens to me.“That’s only a few months in cell, Aurora. Stop sounding like it’s a life sentence,” she said casually.“You are not taking this seriously and I don’t like it,” I said. “You might be willing to spend months in a cell but I don’t even want to stay one night,” I had added.“Then stop fussing! How many times do I have to keep saying this?” Eudora had scolded. “How would he know the CEO’s signature? Has he seen it before?” Eudora had asked.“It’

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   Pessimism

    AURORA’S POV“I don’t like that friend of Arlo’s,” Eudora said the moment we got into the bedroom, but she went straight to the window to stare at the garden. “Oh my goodness, Aurora, just look at how the sun shines on the garden and makes it even more colorful and beautiful,” she added.As though she didn’t just say that she disliked someone.I walked over to the window and stared down at the garden with her.Eudora wasn’t exaggerating; it completely took my breath away. The sum beamed brightly on the fresh and well nurtured flowers and vegetables. Their different colors seemed to agree with each other, making everything just as breathtaking as Eudora had explained it.“It’s so peaceful and beautiful down there,” I said.We stayed quiet for a moment, just watching the absolute beauty of nature and its radiance. It called to me as much as it called to Eudora as well.“I only wish life was as peaceful as it is down there,” I said wistfully.“Why haven’t you ever really gone there?” Eud

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   The Final Suggestion

    ARLO’S POV“How in the world do you expect me to be able to afford it?” I asked through clenched teeth.I couldn’t even believe that Ben would suggest something like that, knowing full well that I was playing the part of a poor fake fiancé.“And I don’t have anything at the moment. All I have has been seized,” Aurora said sadly.My heart broke.Even though I claimed to be poor, I would never allow Aurora to pay for anything, especially something as expensive as a getaway. Again, I was so livid at Ben that I wanted him to leave immediately, but because Aurora seemed really smitten by this presence, I just couldn’t order him to leave.“So how would that work, Ben, since you are so damn smart?” I asked, unable to mask or control my growing rage and anger.“Jesus, Arlo, what’s wrong with you?” Aurora asked me fearfully.She looked at me in a way that said that she was afraid of me and I felt a certain type of way immediately. Majorly because I did not want her to be afraid of me.“You loo

  • One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride   Does She Like The Servant?

    ARLO’S POV“What are you doing here?” I asked Ben harshly, using my eyes to give him warning.He knew he shouldn’t be here. He should be hiding away like the other domestic servants. The fact that he was being useful to me did not mean that he could show up unannounced.“Why are you always being rude to him?” Aurora asked me.I gritted my teeth, especially when Ben simply shrugged.“If we are being honest, everyone’s opinion matters, and since he lives here, why not?” Aurora added. I managed to make my angry expression disappear before turning to look at Aurora.“This is a very delicate and sensitive matter, and that he lives here doesn’t mean anything. For all we know, he could be a snitch who would take everything we are saying here and feed it to the enemy,” I tried to make Aurora see reasons why Ben shouldn’t be in our midst.“I don’t think Ben is that kind of guy,” Aurora said softly, much to my annoyance. “He has been super friendly to me, so I don’t think that he would do that
