~Amara~

The sound of my alarm woke me up. I turned it off and just lay in bed, eyes shut, fighting the headache in my head.

I’d been feeling lightheaded lately, and this morning it was worse than usual. If I got up too fast, I might actually faint.

I thought about Selena. It had been weeks since I last saw her, and I missed her so much-her late night talks, her laughter, her energy.

Everything about this house felt quiet and cold, like a cage. I couldn’t go anywhere, I didn’t know anyone here. And Lucian? He didn’t exactly seem like the kind of man who invited his neighbors over for tea.

Not that I could even go and see his neighbors, the land was too big. Just reaching the gate was practically a workout.

Eventually, I forced myself to sit up and head for the shower. Today was Saturday—deep cleaning day, according to Marta. The thought alone made me groan.

After showering, I slipped into a pair of shorts and a loose t-shirt, something comfortable enough for scrubbing floors and wipin

  • The Billionaire’s One Night Stand   The Woman He Can’t Forget

    ~Lucian~Isabella’s soft moans filled the room, her body arching beneath mine as I moved with her. This was a distraction I desperately needed. I had a long and exhausting time at the company today, it was mostly filled with thoughts I didn’t want to entertain. Thoughts about her.Amara.Even when I tried my best to keep Amara out of my head, I couldn't help but think of her — how she looked at me, the enthusiasm in her eyes when she spoke, the vulnerability she tried so hard to hide.I didn't like that she was still in my head. That she made me feel things I’d buried a long time ago.So, I did what I knew best. Isabella's hands wrapped around my arms, her breath coming out in sharp gasps. She loved rough, loved losing control, and I knew exactly how to give that to her. The rhythm picked up between us, hot and rapid.But even then — even with her — Amara’s face flashed through my mind. Her voice. Her trembling lips. The way she had looked at me that night.I cursed under my breath,

  • The Billionaire’s One Night Stand   For My Baby, I’ll Endure

    ~Amara~I was startled. I quickly grabbed the edge of the counter and turned fully to face him. “No, Lucian. I just stepped out of the kitchen for a minute. The food barely burnt.”He didn’t say anything for a few seconds, just stood there watching me like I was some experiment he was trying to figure out.“Where’s Marta?” he asked, his tone that usual authority he carried like a second skin. “And it’s Mr. Draxen to you.”Of course. Back to his arrogant self.“She went to her room,” I replied quickly.He was about to respond when a loud, cheerful voice called from the living room.“Baby!”I blinked, confused. For a split second, I thought Marta had turned on the TV and maybe some drama was playing, but then I heard the sound of heels clicking closer.A lady appeared.At first, I didn’t recognize her. But when my brain caught up, i then remembered.It was her—the same woman I’d seen sitting on top of him and kissing him in his office that morning I went to tell him about my pregnancy.

  • The Billionaire’s One Night Stand   In His World

    ~Amara~The sound of my alarm woke me out of sleep.I just stayed on my bed staring up at the ceiling for some seconds. My chest felt heavy—not with exhaustion, but with the knowledge of what today was.My first day working for Lucian Draxen.I quickly got up from bed, went to take my bath, and stood in front of the mirror. I tried to look confident, like someone who was prepared to face whatever was coming my way.I put on a plain white top and black skirt, tied back my hair, and let out a sigh. Not bad. Would have to do.I was stuffing my things into my small bag when I heard Selena’s voice from the doorway.“It’s not too late to change your mind,” she said, leaning against the frame of the door.I met her eyes through the mirror and gave a tiny smile. “I’ll be fine, Sel. I have to do this.”She didn’t look convinced. “I just don’t like that man. Remember the way he treated you the morning after that night.”“I know,” I said, trying to sound steady and not let memories of the night w

  • The Billionaire’s One Night Stand   Her Silent Plan

    Amara’s POVBy the time I had gotten to my apartment, I could not keep my eyelids from falling. My whole body felt heavy, not from the day itself but from everything that had happened. My feelings were in a mess — anger, confusion. I haven't even had a chance to digest it all yet.I opened the door, the aroma of Selena's vanilla scented candle enveloped me. She was on the couch, scrolling through her phone, but once she saw me, she jumped up and came to me."Amara," she whispered, hugging me before I could say anything.And that was it. The moment her arms wrapped around me, the tears started. I didn’t even try to stop them this time. I cried quietly, letting her hold me, my face buried against her shoulder.I didn’t need words. Just that moment — the warmth of someone who cared enough to stay.When I finally pulled back, I wiped my cheeks with my hands and tried to breathe normally again. Selena’s face was a mix of worry and fear.“What happened? Did you see him?” she asked carefull

  • The Billionaire’s One Night Stand   The Danger in Her Yes

    Lucian’s POVHer voice was quiet, but steady.“Yes.”The single word filled the space between us like a hammer striking the final nail.Relief hit me first. I didn’t let it show—not fully—but it was there. Tightening in my chest before I buried it under the steel mask I’d worn for years.For a split second, her lips trembled, like she might take it back. But she didn’t. She stood her ground, fists clenched at her sides, eyes burning with defiance even while fear flickered in them.Good. She’d agreed.“Good,” I said, my voice brief, controlled. I set my glass down on the desk and leaned back in my chair, not breaking eye contact. “You’ll move into my estate tomorrow. My driver will pick you up in the morning. Don’t be late.”Shock widened her eyes. “Tomorrow?”“Yes.” My tone left no room for debate. “The sooner the better.”Her throat worked, but no sound came out. She was fighting to keep herself together—I could see it in the way her chest rose and fell too hard, the way her jaw tigh
