Jayden’s POV

The second that office door opened, the air shifted. My chest tightened before I even saw who it was.

And then I heard it.

“Hey, babe.”

Richard Kane.

I froze like a statue, unable to turn, but knowing damn well who was behind me. His voice was clear, smooth, and full of that arrogant confidence I hated. And worse… he was smiling. Big.

What the hell?

My brain scrambled for answers. He was supposed to be in custody. That stupid scandal, he was supposed to be ruined, finished. But now he was here… in front of me. Free. Smiling. Like none of it ever touched him.

I didn’t even get a chance to breathe before Emilia darted past me like I wasn’t even there. Her body brushed mine and nearly knocked me off balance. That’s how fast she ran to him. She threw her arms around his neck, hugging him tightly like he’d just come back from war. Then she kissed him. Right there. So damn passionate I wanted to vomit.

My stomach twisted with something hot and bitter.

Richard held her close, hi

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter 71

    Emilia’s POVI blinked a few times, trying to adjust to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. My eyes felt like sandpaper. I rubbed them with both hands, groaning quietly at how heavy they still felt. No use trying to go back to sleep, I was already too awake for that.With another sigh, I swung my legs off the bed and stood up slowly, hands automatically moving to support my lower back. The ache had become familiar now. Persistent but manageable. I shuffled toward the mirror, dragging my fuzzy slippers across the polished floor like some grumpy old woman.Once I stood in front of the mirror, I tilted my head to the side dramatically, studying the reflection that looked back at me with just the right amount of sarcasm.“Wow,” I muttered, raising my brows. “You’re really thriving, huh?”My hair looked like it had hosted a war and lost. My nose had decided to double in size for no good reason, my eyes were puffy, and the dark circles underneath them could've passed for

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter Seventy

    Richard’s POVThe soft clink of the glass echoed slightly as I placed it gently on the polished counter of the grand piano. My fingers moved across the keys again, slow and steady, as if the melody could pull all the lingering weight from my shoulders. The room was dim, lit only by the soft amber glow of the chandelier and the occasional flicker from the fireplace in the corner. The warmth inside contrasted with the chill whispering against the windowpanes.I wasn’t playing anything specific. Just something that came to me. Something quiet, gentle, almost melancholic. My fingers danced slowly, thoughtfully, like each note had its own memory attached to it. The wine, aged and bold, coated my tongue, and the music calmed my mind.Alone.That was rare these days, and maybe that’s why I was savoring it.Emilia was upstairs. Probably curled up beneath the covers, fast asleep. She’d had a long day. Long week, really. Pregnancy wasn’t easy, and I admired her more with each passing day for ho

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter Sixty-Nine

    JaydenI stood still, trying to control the thudding in my chest. Richard hadn’t said a word yet, just sat there watching me like I was some kind of case study. His elbows rested lazily on the armrest of my chair, fingers steepled together under his chin, his gaze unreadable.I cleared my throat softly, smoothing down my tie as I tried to regain my composure. “Mr. Kane,” I began, keeping my voice even. “To what do I owe this... unexpected visit?”He didn’t answer right away. He just kept staring, his eyes moving slowly over my face, my shoulders, my hands. I could hear the ticking of my wall clock suddenly, each second dragging longer than the last.Eventually, he leaned forward, his elbows pressing down on the desk, and stood up slowly. “Mr. Turner,” he said, tone dry. “How long have you been working here now?”I blinked. “Two years, sir.”He hummed softly in response, walking around the desk now. Each step he took echoed off the walls. “Two years. That’s a decent amount of time, isn

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter Sixty-Eight

    Jayden's POVI walked through the corridor like a ghost floating in a sea of whispers. My shoes made soft, measured sounds against the tiled floor, but it was the echo in my head that was louder, Richard's voice, that damn smile on his face, and Emilia... God, Emilia.The image of her throwing herself at him, like he was her hero or something, played on a loop in my mind. The way she smiled, the way she kissed him without hesitation, like I never existed. Like all those years we spent together meant absolutely nothing.I clenched my jaw, forcing my hands into my pockets to keep from punching the nearest wall. But no, not now. Not here. Not when eyes were everywhere."Yo, Turner."I turned my head slightly and spotted one of the younger interns, Derek or Daniel, whatever his name was, standing too close for my liking, his arms folded as he leaned by the water cooler."You good, man? You look like you just saw a ghost."I gave him a cold smile. "You ever get the urge to chew glass, Dere

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter Sixty-Six

    Emilia’s POVThe conference room was packed. Rows upon rows of employees sat with stiff backs and fake interested faces, the buzz of murmurs still lingering like smoke after a fire. I heard my name whispered again, felt the subtle shift in attention as soon as I stepped inside, heels clicking against the polished floor. Eyes were everywhere, curious, judgmental, uncertain.I didn’t flinch. I didn’t frown. I lifted my chin, let my eyes sweep across the room like I owned every inch of it. And in a way, I did. Not by title, but by everything I’d stood through, fought through, for this company and for Richard.I walked slowly to the front, to the center of the room where the podium waited like a spotlight. 500 pairs of eyes. Not a single one made me pause.I took my time placing my palms on the wood, grounding myself. The room quieted almost instantly.“Thank you for coming,” I began, my voice steady but sharp enough to cut through the air. “I know some of you were probably in the middle
