The following week began, like the previous one had ended controlled, structured, predictable.

Meetings filled the calendar. Reports demanded attention. Decisions stacked neatly on top of one another like everything in my world was still operating exactly as intended.

It should have felt normal.

It almost did.

Until Thursday afternoon.

I noticed the shift before I even saw her.

There was a different kind of energy in the office that day subtle, unannounced, the way systems sometimes regis

  • One Weekend With the Billionaire   Chapter Twenty

    The entire morning felt wrong. Not because of the sunlight bleeding through the glass walls of the penthouse. Not because Daisy was gone. But because the silence she left behind wouldn’t stop following me. I stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with a glass of whiskey in my hand even though it wasn’t even eight in the morning yet. Below me, the city moved like nothing had changed. Cars filled the streets. People rushed to wherever they needed to be. Everything continued. While my mood darkened with every passing second. I drank the whiskey in one swallow, jaw tight. Fuck. She left. No note. No message. Nothing. Just an empty space beside me and the lingering scent of her still trapped in my sheets. I hated how aware I was of it. Hated that the first thing I looked for after waking up was her. The worst part? A part of me expected her to stay. That realization alone was enough to ruin my entire fucking morning. I grabbed my phone from the bed

  • One Weekend With the Billionaire   Chapter Ninteen

    Liam POV "Then don’t stop,” fucked me hard like you did earlier she whispered against my ear The words she let slip felt like gasoline suddenly poured over me, igniting a heat that surged through my body. And because of that, I didn’t think anymore. I immediately claimed her lips roughly After a moment, I scooped her up effortlessly and carried her back to the bed, As I set her down on the bed, I quickly pulled off the T-shirt she was wearing and carelessly tossed it somewhere across the room. Then, I claimed her lips again, more urgently this time, before trailing down to her neck, holding her close like the world around us slowly faded. That time, I felt like I’d been parched for days and had finally found the purest, sweetest water. She tasted like heaven intoxicating, addictive. When I started exploring my tongue downward, her body started writhed on the bed. I continued stroking her body until I reached the most sensitive part of her body. When I got there, I sn

  • One Weekend With the Billionaire   Chapter Eighteen

    After what had just passed between them, neither of them moved for a moment. They stayed there, caught in the quiet aftermath, both trying to steady their breathing while the warmth between them slowly settled into something heavier, something that didn’t fade even in silence. And yet, the silence wasn’t empty. It was full. Of everything neither of them had said. Eventually, he moved first. He sat up, then stood, grabbing a loose white T-shirt before tossing it gently toward her. “Put this on,” he said with low voice She obeyed without protest, slipping it over her frame. The fabric fell loosely against her skin, carrying his faint scent with it. When she looked up, he was already watching her still, focused, unreadable wearing nothing but his boxer shorts, as if he had no need to hide anything from her anymore. Before she could fully process it, he stepped closer and lifted her into his arms with ease. A soft breath left her, her hands instinctively finding his ch

    When the door opened, I immediately saw him wearing only jogging pants sitting against the backrest of the chair, both hands braced on either side, facing directly toward the doorway where I stood.“I told you not to keep me waiting… but you didn’t listen.”“Do you know what happens to people who make me wait? I punish them.”“L-Liam, you know I have a lot to do,” I said, my voice tense as I tried to keep my composure.“That’s not an excuse, Daisy.”His tone was calm, but there was something sharp underneath it something that made my chest tighten.I swallowed hard. “I didn’t mean to. I just lost track of time.”He stepped closer, slow and deliberate, like he already knew I wouldn’t move away.“You always have an explanation,” he said quietly, “but never enough discipline.”My breath caught as I looked up at him, the distance between us disappearing bit by bit.“Do you think I enjoy waiting?” he asked, his voice lower now. “Do you think I like being ignored?”“I’m not ignoring you,” I

  • One Weekend With the Billionaire   Chapter Sixteen

    The air between them tightened, heavier now less about hesitation and more about everything they had been avoiding for too long. His hand remained on her jaw, thumb brushing her skin so lightly it felt like restraint more than touch, as if he was still giving her a chance to step away. But the control he had been holding onto was slipping, quietly, undeniably. When he pulled back just enough to look at her, his breath was uneven. “You don’t understand what you’re doing to me,” he said quietly, his voice rougher now stripped of the control he had been clinging to. Her reply came softer than he expected. “Then why didn’t you stop?" “I can’t,” he admitted. That confession shifted everything between them. The space vanished completely. When he kissed her again, it was no longer restrained. It was deeper, urgent, and unguarded. Her breath broke against his mouth, and for a moment, she forgot to hold back. She responded without hesitation, her hands sliding up to the b

  • One Weekend With the Billionaire   Chapter Fifteen

    The week passed in a blur of structured silence. Meetings came and went. Reports were submitted on time. Deadlines were met with the same precision I had always maintained. Nothing about my work changed on paper. But everything else did. I stopped lingering in shared spaces. I stopped taking unnecessary routes through the executive floor. I stopped arriving early to meetings where I knew he would already be present. Most importantly, I stopped staying after. If something needed his approval, I sent it through email. Concise. Complete. Detached. No follow-ups unless absolutely necessary. No verbal updates. No casual clarifications. There is no reason to be in the same room longer than required. It was efficient. It was safe. It was supposed to be normal. At first, I told myself it was just workload management. A way to stay focused. To avoid unnecessary distractions during a busy cycle. But deep down, I knew better. I was avoiding him. Even thinking hi
