One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 32: Hidden in Plain Sight
Aria's P.O.V"Wait."The word left my mouth before I could stop it.Damien paused halfway down the hallway and looked back at me, his hand still wrapped around mine. "What?"I stared at him for several seconds, still trying to process everything he had just said.A penthouse…above my apartment building.A secret renovation project that had somehow turned into a future plan that somehow involved living right next to me.The realization made my stomach twist into knots, because I had spent the last week convincing myself that he was hiding another woman or an entire family in the closet, while he had apparently been building an entire life around me.God…I wanted the floor to open up and swallow me whole."You were really doing all this for me?" I asked quietly. “You were really just making plans for the renovations while I…”Something softened in Damien's expression. "I wasn't building it for a stranger, that’s why I knew I had to take care of all the aspects of the renovation by mysel
One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 31: The Wrong Conclusion
Aria's P.O.VI stared at Damien as though he had completely lost his mind.Actually, there was no "as though" about it.It was six in the morning. SIX. IN. THE. FUCKING. MORNING.The man had clearly lost whatever good sense God had given him if he thought showing up outside my apartment at six in the morning to demand answers about my emotional state was a reasonable thing to do.Most people were asleep at this hour.Most people did not appear uninvited before sunrise looking personally offended that someone hadn't returned their calls.Unfortunately, Damien Henderson had never been most people."What?" he asked when I continued staring at him instead of immediately starting to open up about all my fears and dreams.I folded my arms across my chest. "Damien…you're standing outside my apartment before the sun is even up, demanding answers I’m clearly not in the state to answer right now. Why...why couldn’t you have at least given me a heads up before you appeared here like this?""I di
One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 30: Distance
Damien's P.O.VSomething was wrong with Aria.At first, I told myself I was imagining it.People had bad days, they got stressed and sometimes, people needed space. But after nearly a week of watching her carefully, I knew I wasn't imagining anything.She was avoiding me.Not openly enough for anyone else to notice. But I noticed, because I had become embarrassingly aware of every small thing she did.Every glance, every smile, every nervous habit…every time she chewed on her lower lip while concentrating.Before, Aria would find excuses to linger in my office.She would bring reports and stay to discuss them, bring me lunch or coffee from the break room and even argue with me or roll her eyes at me.Sometimes she would sit in the chair opposite my desk and spend twenty minutes talking about absolutely nothing important.Now?Now she dropped files on my desk and disappeared before I
One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 29: The Things She Didn't Ask Part 2
Aria's P.O.VThe bathroom door opened suddenly, and I jumped backward.Damien emerged, his eyes narrowing instantly.He had clearly noticed my position. "What are you doing?""Nothing." It was a terrible lie, and we both knew I sucked at lying.His gaze lingered on me and for a moment, neither of us spoke.Then Damien sighed. "Aria.""I'm tired." Another lie and we both knew it, but I didn't want a confrontation at this hour. “I’ll just go get some rest.”Damien let out a slow sigh and gave me a small, tight smile. "Get some sleep."“Are you…staying?” I asked, even though I already knew the answer.“Of course.” He rubbed at his eyes tiredly. “I should get back to work. Just go to bed, I’ll dim the lights.”With that, he went back to the table while stood there for a good few seconds, just taking in what had happened.That was all…no explanation, no reassurance about the call.Nothing…just the growing unease inside my chest.*Things became worse after that.Not immediately, gradually.
One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 28: The Things She Didn't Ask Part 1
Aria's P.O.VIt had been six days since I moved out of my parents' house, and I had never felt so free in my entire life.Every morning, I woke up to sunlight pouring through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows of my apartment instead of my mother's criticism echoing through the hallway. Every evening, I came home to silence instead of being expected to solve everyone else's problems.No demands, no guilt trips. No reminders that Amara was more important than me.Just peace.It was almost suspicious.Honestly, after years of family drama, I kept expecting someone to jump out from behind my couch and tell me the entire thing had been an elaborate prank.Unfortunately, life wasn't that kind.It preferred subtler forms of torture…like giving me Damien Henderson, because apparently my heart hadn't suffered enough already.I stared blankly at my computer screen inside my apartment as spreadsheets blurred together in front of my eyes.Across from me, Damien sat comfortably at my dining tab
One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire Chapter 27: The Truth Behind the Apartment
Aria's P.O.VBy the time the last box made it into my new apartment, I was exhausted.My entire body ached from carrying things up and down stairs all morning, but despite the soreness, I couldn't stop smiling whenever I looked around the studio.The apartment was beautiful.Sunlight streamed through the massive floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the city skyline, turning the hardwood floors golden while the high ceilings made the place feel twice as large as it actually was. It wasn't luxurious by billionaire standards, but to me it felt like freedom wrapped in four walls.For the first time in my life, I had a place that belonged entirely to me.No parents monitoring my every decision. No Amara stealing the spotlight.Just me.I was in the middle of unpacking new dishes when my phone buzzed on the kitchen counter.Damien: I'm downstairs.A smile immediately pulled at my lips.Downstairs? He was here already?I typed a quick reply.Me: I thought you were sending movers.Damien: I d
