One Night Stand with the Enemy Chapter forty-two.
Nathan's POV I was still inwardly gloating when Lucy entered my office without knocking. One look at her pinched face told me there was some bad news waiting for me. Previous happiness instantly faded as I looked at my best friend shifting from foot to foot, like a student who was caught smoking behind the school's gym. " Okay, you have my full attention. What is going on?" I asked, sitting behind my desk. Lucy bit her lip and lowered her head. An unpleasant feeling nested in my chest. She had never had an issue with delivering bad news. This was freaking me out. " Say something. What happened?" Lucy finally raised her head, and I noticed ho pale her skin was. She seemed terrified. " For fu*k sake, speak! I do not like this suspense." My voice rose dangerously. "There was a call... from the hospital," she finally said, hesitantly. " When you were gone."" Hospital?" I have asked, trying to process her words. " Did something happen to my parents?" Panic made my heart race. What
One Night Stand with the Enemy Chapter forty one
Margot's POVPure chos, that was the only thing that was coming into my mind as I watched the situation unwinding in the conference room. People were shouting in disbelief, and the press was asking questions, sensing hot material. I caught a glimpse of Reed's face; it flickered between rage and fear every couple of seconds. And in the middle of this disaster stood Nathan. He was steady as a rock, answering any question thrown his way. If I were not so overwhelmed, I would stare at him with admiration. Now, his whole plan was crystal clear. That was what he meant by taking back what was mine. He had planned this down to the smallest details, leaving Reed unable to defend himself. When I saw my projects on the screen, I thought I had lost everything I had worked so hard for. Sam would leave this place as the winner, while I would be defeated. I thought he somehow managed to crack my code. With all Reed's money and sources, it would not be impossible. " Miss Roberts, is this true?"

Nathan's POV" What are we doing here? Is this the surprise you mentioned?" Margot looked at me, displeased, and I did everything to hide my smirk. We were standing in the massive lobby of Reed's company. It was now filled with people invited to see his success. Reed made sure to gather everyone who meant anything in our world. He was going to show Sam to all of them, like a new trophy. Well, they will be surprised, one way or the other. " You do not like it?" I looked at Margot, who was now looking around with anxiety. We chose casual clothes so we could mingle more easily. The last thing I wanted was to be recognised here now. " Does it surprise you? Why are we here?" I shrugged my arms. " Why should we miss such a show? Who knows what will happen?"Margot glanced at me, surprised by my words. " Seriously? You dragged me to a place where I will probably see Sam?" My lips curled upward. " I dragged you here so you can see Sam." She furrowed her brows, now visibly angry. " I hav
One Night Stand with the Enemy Chapter thirty nine
Margot's POV. Since Nathan told me about a surprise, I kept thinking about it. Was it another romantic dinner, or... My cheeks involuntarily blushed when my mind drifted back to the passionate s*x on the piano. It was a little like a Pretty Woman, except I was not a hired prostitute. ' Wow, focus, girl,' I scolded myself, focusing back on my work. It was neither time nor place to let my thoughts roam freely. Way too freely. Being a partner meant a lot of work, but for now, Nathan let me adjust to my new reality. He also gave me space, visiting occasionally, allowing me to focus on my projects. I did appreciate that, as whenever he showed up, I could barely think straight. This man was incredibly handsome; I could not deny it. I caught myself longing for his touch and kisses. I found myself staring at him for way longer than appropriate, during meetings that were supposed to be business. And I was sure he knew about the effect he had on me. I caught him glancing at me, while his l

Nathan's POV" I would never expect this day to come," Reed looked at me with his lips curled in something that looked like a poor attempt at a smile. He leaned back in the chair I had offered him, watching me with curiosity. " Me neither, " I replied, skipping any polite notes in my tone. I do really hate this guy. For years, he tried to convince me to work with him, or for him, as I imagined, and did not take it lightly when I turned away each of his offers. He thought I would jump onto the opportunity he gave me, but I would rather bite off my hand before doing this. It gave me absolute pleasure to watch the empire I built, suppressing his own. Reed reminded Sam at too many levels, and I learned my lesson. " So, what do you have to offer?" Reed asked, leaning forward and resting his chin on his fist. I blinked my eyes, surprised by his audacity. Offer? What I was going to tell him was a lot of things, but none of them was an offer. " I have heard you found yourself a potent
One Night Stand with the Enemy Chapter thirty seven
Nathan's POVAfter an hour of calming down, Margot finally fell asleep. I have covered her with sheets and left a room to gather my thoughts. Anger was still boiling inside me as I poured myself a glass of whiskey. I had to remain calm if I wanted to help her. I could not let my emotions lead me, even if what I wanted right now was to tear Sam to shreds for the way he had made Margot feel. She acted tough, but his words cut deep. I am a man of my word, so I threw myself into action." Do you have an idea what time it is?" Lucy asked in her sleepy voice. " I am aware of how late it is," I replied, taking another sip of my drink. " Clearly not aware enough if you disturb me. If you wake up, Cassie, I am going to tear you a new one." I knew Lucy was not kidding. If there were someone she would go violent for, it was her wife. " Too late." Fu*k, I heard Cassie's voice. " You are screwed," Lucy hissed, making me tense. "You'd better tell me this call is about the end of the world, be
