LIORAÉ

The back of my ears suddenly felt hotter, even under the chilly air from the AC.

My mother was never this nice to me. She knew about Soren, and maybe even the baby. As usual, I was her ticket out of poverty.

“I always thought Evan Mercer was a great catch, but I was wrong,” she beamed with joy.

I could already picture the smile stretching across her face. In her mind, Soren's fortune had already become ours.

“I should have trusted you when you called off the engagement. You have always

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-NINE: THE FIRST DATE

    LIORAÉSoren had sent me home to freshen up. He had a meeting and insisted I needed a little rest before the dinner tonight.“I will pick you up,” he said, pushing me into the car and strapping the seatbelt over me. He kissed the side of my head.I sat at the back of the car watching him stand in the parking lot basement as we drove away.When I got home, Avery was eating chips in the living room. She rushed up to me and grabbed my hand, leading me slowly to the couch like I had not been walking around fine.“I am fine.”“I know, but you are pregnant with my niece or nephew.” She paused, pressed her lips together, tilted her head, and her eyes swirled like she was thinking.“I meant you are pregnant with my niece. I am going to spoil her, so naturally, I should spoil you too.”“You don’t have to…”“You don’t have to refuse,” she cut me off and sighed. “Just enjoy it.”She smiled, patting my stomach gently.If everyone in the Vale family was like her, then maybe the idea of being Soren

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-EIGHT: STANDING BESIDE HIM. 

    LIORAÉI knew that standing beside Soren was not as easy as words.I didn’t even know when I had decided it was what I wanted. It just felt like the only option I had as of now.“What does that mean?” I asked.Adrian cracked a smile and tilted his head. The usual jovial smile that made me seem less intimidated by Soren came up on.“I guess you’ll get to know the longer you stand by him.”Soren’s hand sank through my waist before I could respond. I looked up at him. He had a frown on his face, his brows knitted together and his lips pressed into a thin line.“It’s been years, Adrian, yet you still haven’t learned the proper way to speak,” Soren said.Adrian didn’t react. It was almost as if he was expecting Soren to go at him like that.“Dear brother,. I am just doing the Lord’s work. It would be a shame if Lioraé gets into this without knowing fully what she is going into.”Soren took a step forward, blocking him from my path. “If you have something to say, then say it. Stop hiding be

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-SEVEN: BACK TO WORK

    LIORAÉSoren hovered over me as I prepared to resume work.“Are you sure you have to go?”I turned to him, my lipstick layering on a thin layer of pink onto my lips.“We already spoke about this,” I murmured.“I know.” He nodded. “But it is not too late to change your mind.”“I am not changing my mind, Soren. I want to work, and you know it.”“I know, but you are pregnant…”“Pregnant, not disabled,” I finished for him.He took a deep breath and lowered himself onto the bed.“Alright, there is no winning with you, is there?”“You are being paranoid and overprotective.”“I’m not overprotective.”Pause.“I’m appropriately protective.”I rolled my eyes and turned to the mirror. I rubbed my stomach gently. It was weird how, in just a few weeks, my life was no longer what I knew it to be.“I will walk up with you,” Soren said when the car pulled into the underground parking lot.I had personally requested that we didn’t pull up to the reception together. I didn’t know if I could take the go

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-SIXTY: YOU'RE NOT WORKING

    LIORAÉ“Get back this instant!”Avery was fuming; her nose was flaring and her body was trembling. Her hand was balled into a fist by her side.“What did I do wrong?” Soren was oddly calm.Not like the stories about him. The stories of him killing off staff just because they got in his way. Was this because Avery was his sister?“Lioraé is going back to work?” she asked, her voice slightly calmer this time.“She said she wanted to.”“And you let her?”Silence.“She is her own person,” he said.It didn't sound like the Soren who had basically kidnapped me and forced me into his house and forced an engagement on me.“She can do whatever she wants,” he finished.“It doesn't matter. Get back here this instant,” Avery snapped at him and ended the call. She tossed the phone onto the couch and turned to me with her hands on her waist.I stood up and rubbed my hands over my sides in hesitation. The look on her face made me want to confess all my sins instantly.“I was the one who wanted to wo

  • One Night Stand with Her Obsessed Billionaire Boss   CHAPTER FIFTY-FIVE: THE VALE WOMAN

    LIORAÉSoren is not in the room when I wake up, which is unlike him.I had been wanting to escape him for the longest time, but now that he was not here, I was missing him just a bit. Maybe I was hoping he would hover and make me feel loved, most oddly ever.“Madam, you are awake.” Aires—my guard—was at the door.She began to move toward me. She stood a few feet from the bed and waited for me to respond. I wanted to ask about Soren, but then I didn’t want to sound like I couldn’t live without him.“The boss had an urgent meeting to attend. He asked me to keep you company until then,” she explained.“I didn’t ask.” I tried to sound like I didn’t care, but I was nodding slowly at her explanation.“Breakfast is ready. Do you want me to have the kitchen send it up or…”“I will have my bath first.”I was hungry, but the thought of actually eating made my stomach churn. I was hoping a good soak would make me forget and maybe be bold enough to hold on to the food without throwing it all up i

    LIORAÈ"So stop these tricks before the Wynn family suffers."Elara didn't say a word or move.In fact, nobody in the room did.No one dared to challenge Soren anymore. It was almost as if they knew he would do what he said he wanted to.The old man slammed his cane to the ground and everyone flinched. We raised our heads to him."Enough! This is family dinner and not a time for you to try to pull each other down."He gestured to the staff who had been standing by and watching all of the drama.She didn't even look fazed. It meant she must have seen a lot more of the wealthy family banter.She began to put the dishes in the middle of the table and disappeared almost instantly.The entire room was silent. No one said a word, not even Soren.This old man was the only one who could control Soren without screaming or throwing a tantrum.I could feel the weight of their gazes on me.The ones that stayed long enough to make me want to crawl out of my skin from pity and the ones that seemed
