The sun was setting over the Sterling manor, but the golden light did not bring any warmth to the cold, quiet halls. Inside the grand study, the air was thick with the smell of spilled liquor and the heavy weight of defeat. Lord Sterling sat behind his massive oak desk, but he no longer looked like the powerful man who once ruled the city. His suit was wrinkled, his hair was messy, and his hands shook as he stared at the legal papers spread out before him.

  • One Night Stand with the Secret Billionaire   Chapter 158

    The days after the big opening were very busy but happy at the Yates home. While everyone in California was still talking about how successful the Blue Core building was, inside the penthouse, things were quiet and peaceful.Lucas spent Monday morning in his home office, but he wasn’t alone. Selene sat right next to him at the big desk. Together, they were finishing the papers for the "Kimberlite Experience." This was the new project Larry Jameson wanted to be part of, and Lucas wanted every detail to be perfect."I think we should explain more about the history of the gems for the Jameson family," Selene said softly, pointing at the computer screen. She looked very professional, but the happy look in her eyes showed she really loved working by his side. "It’s not just about making money, it’s about the story of the earth. That’s what Larry liked the most when we spoke."Lucas nodded and kept typing. "You’re right. He wants a project that has a real heart, not just a business deal." H

    The music from the grand hall was still a quiet, distant sound, but the air in the private security area of the Blue Core building felt very different. Here, the rooms were cold and the walls were made of plain gray concrete. It was a sharp change from the warm, golden light of the party upstairs.James, the head of security, was waiting outside a small room without any windows. He stood very straight with his hands behind his back. When Lucas arrived, walking with his usual calm and strong energy, James stepped forward to speak with him."Mr. Yates," James said in a quiet voice. "We have the man who tried to break the power system. We have him in the holding room for questioning. I think you should see him yourself.""Do we know his name yet, James?" Lucas asked. His eyes were sharp, and even though he was wearing a very expensive wine-colored suit, he looked like a man who knew how to handle a difficult situation."His name is Bruno," James explained as they walked toward a heavy me

    Suddenly, four men from Lucas’s elite security team appeared. They were so fast it was amazing. Before Bruno could grab a tool, they had him pinned against the wall with his hands behind his back."You're in trouble, man," one guard said as he put the handcuffs on him.Steve saw everything from the van. He was suddenly very afraid. He didn't even try to help his partner. He put the van in reverse and drove away as fast as he could. By the time the guards looked for the van, Steve had disappeared into the California streets, leaving no trace behind.James spoke into his earpiece. "An intruder was spotted but the problem is gone, Mr. Yates. We have one man, and the other got away. Everything is safe."Standing off-stage, Lucas felt so relieved, but he kept his face calm. He nodded toward the stage. The plan to break the lights had failed. The show would go on.The event was beautiful and moved like clockwork. When Selene stepped onto the stage, the whole room went quiet. Her gold dress

    The sun rose over California with a warm, clear light. It cast a beautiful glow over the hills where the new Blue Core building stood. This was the most important day for the Yates family. For weeks, the air had been filled with the sounds of building and the quiet, busy talk of big plans. Now, the glass and steel building was finished. It was a dream come true for Selene and a new start for the whole gemstone business.Inside the penthouse, the morning was quiet but full of a sweet, nervous energy. Selene stood in front of a large mirror, her fingers shaking just a little as she fixed the straps of her gold dress. The fabric was beautiful, glowing every time she moved. When she stepped into her black high heels, she felt a sudden rush of strength. The gold heels made a sharp, clean sound on the floor. It was the sound of a woman who was ready to lead and no longer afraid to be seen.Even though she felt strong, she was still worried. She looked at herself in the mirror and bit her li

    The air in the dark bar by the docks was thick and smelled of old grease and stagnant water. Serah sat in a corner booth, her heart beating fast against her ribs. She felt completely out of place in her clean coat, surrounded by men who looked rough and dangerous. Every loud laugh or clinking glass made her want to run away, but her anger toward Selene was so strong that it kept her in her seat. She kept thinking about how Selene had ignored her calls and how her daughter, Anna, was being left behind. That bitterness was the only thing that gave her courage.Across from her sat Bruno, a large man with cold eyes and a long scar on his face. Beside him, leaning in the shadows, was Steve Sterling. Steve was the dark side of the Sterling family, and he watched Serah with a sharp, calculating look. When Serah explained that she wanted to ruin the lights and the power during Selene’s big event, Bruno didn't hesitate. He took the job with a cruel smile.Bruno knew exactly who Serah was and h

  • One Night Stand with the Secret Billionaire   Chapter 153

    The morning sun through the penthouse windows felt warm and bright, matching the excited energy in the air. For weeks, the rooms had been filled with the sounds of hushed phone calls and the rustle of papers. Now, the long wait was almost over. The Mine-to-Finger project was finished. Selene had worked so hard to turn her dream into a real business, and in just five days, she would show it to the entire world at a grand opening event.Selene sat at the large dining table, her tea sitting forgotten and cold beside her. She was surrounded by high-quality paper invitations and pictures of the event hall. This wasn't just another work day for her, it was the moment she would prove her worth to everyone who ever doubted her. She checked every name on the guest list herself, making sure everything was perfect.The guest list was filled with the names of the richest people in the world. But the most important names were the Jameson family. They had once been major shareholders in the Yates E

    The air in the house felt thick, like a storm was about to break. After the big scene at the hospital, Selene and Lucas hadn't said a single word to each other. Lucas had gone straight into his room and closed the door. The sound of that click felt like a wall being built between them. Selene sto

    After the terrifying face-off at the apartment, the world felt like it had been flipped upside down. Lucas didn’t take Selene back to that old, drafty house where the floorboards groaned and the air always smelled like dust and secrets. Instead, he drove her in a heavy, silent SUV to a glass-and-

    The basement of the old house was moist and reeked like rotting wood. Selene dashed through the narrow tunnel Lucas had shown her, her hands shaking so hard she almost dropped the leather book. Behind her, the sounds were terrifying—shouting, heavy footsteps, and those scary sounds made by FBI.L
