Emilia

After my brief little talk with Elena, I said to myself I wasn’t going to let her get under my skin. I had already had enough of everyone who were trying to intimidate me just because they had a fancier last name or a bigger title.

I wasn’t here to play games or prove anything to anyone, no not anymore. I had my husband's support, I knew what I was doing, and if I am being honest, I had enough on my head without having to worry about Elena Smith and her quiet threats.

So I took a very deep and long breath, straightened my composure, and pushed everything she said to the back of my head. If she wanted a fight, she’d have to come a bit harder than that. I wasn’t backing down, not now or ever.

As I made my way across the hallway, I walked by one of the newer employees, a shy young guy from the finance department. I actually recalled his name, Daniel. He looked like he was trying to decide whether to talk or just keep moving.

“Good morning, Daniel,” I greeted him with a little smil

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter 110

    EmiliaI was still lying there, the hospital gown itchy against my back, my head buzzing like someone had stuck a lawnmower in my brain. I stared at the ceiling tiles, my fingers fidgeting with the thin blanket.How the hell did my brakes fail? Just like that? Cars don’t just stop working.And that screech... it was still ringing in my ears. My chest tightened all over again. That wasn’t a mechanical hiccup. That was something else.I was still lost in thought when the door creaked open.I turned my head slightly, expecting a nurse or the doctor again,but no.Oh.Oh my God.The man who walked in looked like he’d stepped right out of some overly expensive cologne commercial. Tall, at least six-two. Brown, tousled hair that looked like it was styled effortlessly,even though I knew it wasn’t. Clear blue eyes that had no business being that bright. And a jawline that could slice diamonds.He was... absurd.He smiled as he walked closer. “Hey. You’re awake.”His voice? Yeah, unfairly smoot

    Emilia“Making my way downtown… walking fast, faces pass and I’m homebound…” I sang at the top of my lungs as I cruised through the wide streets of Manhattan, windows rolled halfway down and hair bouncing lightly with every turn. “Doo-doo-doo-doo-doo-dooo…”Vanessa Carlton was really doing something to my mood this morning. I wasn’t even trying to hide how off-key I sounded. I knew I was off. I didn’t care. The sky was crisp blue, traffic was surprisingly light for New York at this time, and the breeze was just right.“If I could fall… into the sky… do you think time… could pass me by?”I belted out the line, tapping my fingers against the steering wheel dramatically like I was in some sad indie movie. Then I let out a dramatic sigh and giggled. “Ugh, what a vibe.”My phone buzzed on the passenger seat, vibrating hard against the leather.“Who the hell is calling me now…” I mumbled, glancing quickly at the screen before grabbing it. The name read Jesse – Private Guy with a little dete

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter 108

    EmiliaI stood there, still breathing heavily, the echo of my own voice fading into the silence of the now-empty room. Broken glass crunched softly beneath my bare feet as I shifted my weight, the aftermath of the chaos littered all around, half-empty cups, lipstick-stained napkins, confetti on the rug, a pair of heels abandoned near the stairs.Serena hadn’t moved.She stood near the archway leading to the kitchen, one hand resting casually on her hip, the other holding the edge of the marble counter like she had all the time in the world.Then she began to walk.Slowly.Each step deliberate, heels clicking against the floor like little bullets, circling around me like a predator toying with its prey.“You know,” she started, her voice calm but edged with something sharp, “you should really be honest with yourself for once.”I turned my head slightly, narrowing my eyes. “What are you talking about?”Serena smiled, tight-lipped, cruel. “Richard. The distance. The coldness. You feel it

    EmiliaThe ride back to the mansion felt longer than usual.Maybe it was just me, my body slumped into the driver’s seat like it was made of bricks, my shoulders tight from holding in too many things I couldn’t say out loud. My hands gripped the steering wheel tighter than necessary the entire way home. Not because I was in a hurry, but because I didn’t know what else to hold onto anymore.When I finally pulled into the driveway, the sky was already dimming. The fading sunlight stretched across the glass windows like golden veins, glinting off the top of the mansion. I parked, cut the engine, and sat there for a moment. My eyes burned, not just from exhaustion but from holding in everything since morning.I walked into the house slowly, like I was carrying weights tied to my ankles. My heels tapped faintly against the marble floors. I half-expected to hear that familiar voice, Serena, probably waiting somewhere with another round of snide remarks, her polished smirk ready to pounce. B

  • One Night Stand With Mr.. President   Chapter 105

    EmiliaThe smell of burnt coffee still clung to my clothes as I stared at Jayden standing in front of me like some messed-up joke. For a split second, I thought maybe I was hallucinating. There was no reason, no reason, he should be anywhere near this part of town. He didn’t live around here. He didn’t work around here. And yet, here he was, dressed in a black hoodie with the hood pulled halfway over his face like some shady movie character trying not to be seen.I took a step back, gripping the now-empty coffee cup like it was a weapon. “What the hell are you doing here, Jayden?”He didn’t answer at first. Just shoved his hands deep into his hoodie pocket and avoided my eyes. His shoulders were hunched, and his jaw clenched like he was chewing on a confession.“Jayden,” I said again, firmer this time. “You don’t live here. You don’t work here. So what are you doing? Were you… were you following me?”That got his attention. His eyes snapped to mine, and instead of denying it, like any
