(Ciara’s POV)

The next morning, I arrived earlier than usual, determined to bury everything that had happened the day before under work and discipline, but the moment I stepped into the office and noticed the unusual tension in the air, the hushed conversations, and the way people moved with urgency, I knew something was wrong even before I got the message that there was an emergency meeting already in progress.

I barely had time to settle before one of the assistants approached me and told me

  • One Night Stand With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 83- The Moment Everything Shifted

    (Ciara’s POV)The conference room was silent in the way only important rooms could be. Not empty. Not peaceful. But controlled.It was the kind of silence that carried weight where every movement was deliberate, every breath measured, and every glance exchanged held unspoken meaning. The air itself felt thick with expectation, as though the walls had witnessed too many high-stakes decisions to ever feel ordinary again.The long polished table stretched across the room like a boundary between power and submission. Around it sat individuals who were not just businessmen and executives, but decision makers people whose signatures could build empires or dismantle them entirely.And today… something significant was about to shift. Ownership. Control.Influence.Everything was about to change.And at the center of it all…Was me.I sat upright, my posture composed, my shoulders relaxed but firm. My fingers rested lightly on the document placed before me, as though I had done this a hundred ti

  • One Night Stand With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 82- The Room That Stopped Breathing

    (Ciara’s POV)The meeting room was too quiet.Not peaceful quiet.Tense quiet.The kind that sits in the air before something important happens, like everyone is holding their breath without realizing it.I adjusted the folder in my hands as I stepped inside, my heels clicking softly against the polished floor.Years of experience had taught me how to walk into rooms like this.Confident. Composed. Unshaken.But nothing in my life had prepared me for what I was about to walk into.“Good morning, everyone,” the assistant announced. “We are honored to have representatives from Blake’s Holdings here today for the proposed partnership discussion.”At that name…Something inside me tightened.I didn’t react outwardly.I couldn’t afford to.The room shifted slightly as people stood for formal greetings.And then I saw him.Lucas Blake.Sitting at the head of the table like he owned the very air in the room.And maybe he did.His presence had always been like that.Unavoidable. Commanding. U

  • One Night Stand With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 81- Homecoming I Never Expected

    (Ciara’s POV)The airport felt louder than I remembered.Not just in sound, but in feeling.People rushing.Announcements echoing.Suitcases rolling across the floor like distant thunder.And me…Standing right in the middle of it all, holding my son’s hand.Williams clutched my fingers tightly as we stepped further inside, his eyes moving everywhere with curiosity and excitement.“Momma, is this where planes sleep?” he asked suddenly.I let out a small laugh despite myself.“Yes,” I replied softly. “Something like that.”He nodded seriously, as though that made perfect sense to him.But before I could say anything else…I saw them.And everything else faded.At first, I thought my mind was playing tricks on me.Because it didn’t feel real. Not after seven years.Not after everything.But they were there.Standing close together near the arrival area, scanning the crowd.Waiting.For me.Lizzie was the first to spot me.Her face lit up instantly.“Ciara!” she called out, rushing forwa

  • One Night Stand With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 80- The Boy Who Called Me Moomma

    (Ciara’s POV)Seven years.It felt strange saying it in my mind, because it didn’t feel like seven years had passed at all.It felt like I had simply stepped out of one life and quietly built another somewhere far away, in a place where my name no longer carried pain every time it was spoken.New Orleans had been kind to me.Not gentle.Not easy.But kind in its own way.It gave me something I never thought I would have again after everything I lost.Stability.Success.And most importantly…Peace.I had built myself from nothing again.Piece by piece.Day by day.And somewhere along the way, I became someone people respected.A woman people looked up to.A woman who no longer walked into rooms feeling small.But none of that mattered as much as what stood in front of me right now.A little boy.Standing in the middle of my world.Looking up at me like I was his entire universe.“Momma!”His voice pulled me out of my thoughts instantly.Soft.Bright.Full of innocence.I smiled immedi

  • One Night Stand With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 79- The Road that Took Everything

    (Ciara’s POV)The car moved steadily, but I felt like I wasn’t moving at all.It was strange how something so simple—leaving a place could feel like losing your entire life at once.I sat by the window, my forehead lightly resting against the glass, watching Los Angeles slowly fade behind me in fragments.Buildings.Roads. Faces.Places that once held pieces of my story.Now they just looked like memories I was abandoning.My bag sat beside me, untouched.My hands were folded tightly in my lap, as though holding myself together was the only thing I could still control.But my mind…My mind was everywhere.I tried not to think.But thinking was all I had left.My thoughts drifted first to the smallest heartbeat inside me.My child.My hand instinctively moved to my stomach, resting there gently, protectively.“You’re still so small,” I whispered under my breath.Too small to understand what was happening.Too small to know how much chaos surrounded your beginning.I wondered what kind o

  • One Night Stand With My Billionaire Boss    Chapter 78- The Goodbye I Didn't Want

    (Ciara’s POV)I started packing without thinking too much about it.Maybe because if I thought about it too deeply, I would stop.Or maybe I would break again.Clothes folded into my bag didn’t feel like preparation for travel anymore.They felt like pieces of a life I was slowly stepping out of.A life that had already hurt me more than I thought I could survive.Annie came into the room quietly at first, leaning on the doorframe as she watched me pack.“You’re really doing this?” she asked softly.I paused for a moment, holding a folded dress in my hands.Then I nodded.“Yes,” I replied quietly.She didn’t argue.She didn’t push.She just sighed and walked closer.“You know,” she said gently, “you don’t have to run away forever.”“I’m not running away,” I said, though even I wasn’t fully convinced by my own words.Annie raised a brow slightly.“Then what is this?” she asked.I zipped the bag slowly.“Surviving,” I answered.A silence settled between us.Not uncomfortable.Just… heav
