Heartbreak made me reckless enough to disappear into a stranger’s bed. After my ex cheated, pride hurt worse than love. For one night, I wanted to forget his name, his lies, and the version of me that had believed him. By morning, it was supposed to become a secret I could bury and never touch again. Then Jordan Vasquez walked back into my life. Jordan Vasquez should have stayed a secret I never spoke of again, but he carried a name people feared, belonged to a family that could make scandals disappear, and was already promised to another woman. I knew better than to stay near him. Jordan gave me no room to be sensible. Jordan came back like a man who had already decided I was his unfinished mistake, pulling me into a world where reputation mattered more than truth and desire could destroy everything. His fiancée saw me as a dirty little secret waiting to be erased. Maybe she was right. But secrets become dangerous when everyone keeps trying to bury them. And by the time I understood what Jordan could cost me, I had already stopped wanting to be saved.

One Night, Wrong Man CHAPTER 100 — The Choice
*POV Derby* The heavy double doors of the boardroom swung inward without a sound, sealing seventy executive storeys above the street noise of central Manhattan. My knuckles were white against the strap of my leather briefcase as I smoothed my grey pencil skirt and pulled out my chair at the secondary seating row. I didn't glance toward the head of the table. I kept my chin level and my eyes locked strictly on the blank notepad in front of me, though my skin burned with the memory of the cold sub-basement archive twelve hours prior. The air inside the room was suffocating, thick with expensive aftershave, sharp espresso, and the quiet, terrible weight of a family empire preparing to purge an infection. Victor Vasquez sat at the center, flanked by four senior board directors whose collective tenure predated my high school graduation. To his left sat Tamara Hayden, radiant in a structured terracotta blazer, her slender fingers tracing the edge of an ivory fountain pen. "Item thr

*POV Derby* My words hung in the quiet basement archive, heavier than the cold concrete ceiling pressing down above us. Jordan’s hand, still hovering near my jaw where he had tucked that strand of hair, froze mid-air. The heat of his fingers was inches away, but the distance between us felt like a chasm wide enough to swallow the entire city. "The problem isn't that you don't know how, Jordan," I repeated, my voice dropping until it was barely a murmur, flat and devoid of the panicked edge from moments before. "The problem is that you're always late." Jordan’s chest rose on a sharp, silent intake of air. His dark eyebrows pulled together, a flicker of confusion crossing his exhausted face before settling into something guarded and tense. "Late?" "Always," I said. I looked down at his unbuttoned collar, at the pulse beating hard and fast against his neck, then raised my eyes back to his. "Every single time I finally rebuild my walls and decide to survive this job on my own, you b
Last Updated : 2026-08-19One Night, Wrong Man CHAPTER 98 — Stay
*POV Derby* A stack of blue layout proofs slipped from my hand and scattered across the wide drafting table, sliding over the smooth pine surface until two sheets fluttered onto the floor. I didn't reach down to gather them. My fingers stayed braced against the edge of the desk, my knuckles pale under the harsh yellow glow of the single desk lamp. The design archive on the sub-basement floor was always cold after seven in the evening. It smelled of old newsprint, binding glue, and metallic ink—a forgotten corner of the Vasquez building where nobody came looking for executive updates or board compliance memos. I had come down here to hide from the quiet whispers on thirty-four, pulling three seasons of archived project binders just to give my hands something to hold. The heavy steel door at the end of the narrow aisle groaned on its hinges. Footsteps echoed off the concrete floor, deliberate and heavy, cutting through the silence of the basement storage. I didn't need to tu

*POV Derby* An empty plastic coffee lid rolled twice across the floorboard of my sedan before hitting the accelerator pedal. I didn't reach down to grab it. My hands remained fixed on the steering wheel, my knuckles white against the dark leather, eyes pinned to the brake lights of the delivery truck idling in front of me. Victor Vasquez hadn't raised his voice once during breakfast. He hadn't threatened to fire me, blackball me from the industry, or strip my severance package. He had simply held up a mirror, showing me the exact shape of the wreckage Jordan and I were creating together. By the time I reached the thirty-fourth floor, the silence in the hallways was entirely different from yesterday’s panicked whispering. It was cold. Calculated. When I walked past the secondary compliance pod, Sarah kept her eyes strictly glued to her dual monitors, her fingers typing with aggressive speed. Marcus, who usually asked for my input on regional stress tests every Tuesday morning

-POV Derby By Monday I’d almost convinced myself it was over. Not in some dramatic way. Just… closed. Like shutting a tab you left open too long and deciding not to open it again. I made coffee that tasted like nothing. Went to work. Answered emails acting like the weekend had never happened,
