Lahat ng Kabanata ng One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride: Kabanata 21 - Kabanata 30

ARLO’S POVLast night was the longest night I had ever had. I couldn’t sleep a wink. I kept tossing and turning, and at a point, I gave up the attempt of trying so hard to fall asleep.Why didn’t Aurora return?This shouldn’t even bother me, but it did, and I hated the fact that it did, because I couldn’t control it.I kept asking myself what if she had changed her mind, and I almost went insane with that thought. I was already having the intense feeling of possession towards Aurora; there was something about her that I couldn’t just shake off.As early as possible, I called Gideon on the phone and he picked immediately.“I still haven’t found Hawk,” Gideon said the moment the call connected.“I don’t give a shit about that asshole right now,” I barked into the phone.I was transferring the aggression to Gideon and he didn’t deserve it, but thankfully, he already understood me enough to get offended by my tone.“So should I call off the chase?” Gideon asked.“No, do not. I still want

AURORA’S POVI stood there, shocked and scared to my bones. Those weren’t mere words from Maverick, and I could recall Dad saying something about getting threats from the Casimir family.I didn’t think he was being serious until Maverick’s dark words.“Aurora?” Eudora called, opening the front door and stepping out. “Thank goodness he is gone. I didn’t want to see his disgusting face,” she added.I couldn’t respond to her. Instead, I merely stood there, breathing hard and thinking about my choices all over again.“Aurora,” Eudora said, touching me worriedly. “Are you okay?” She asked.I snapped out of my fear and looked at her. “Yeah, yes, I am,” I lied and she saw through me.“No, that isn’t the face of someone who is fine. This isn’t even the expression you were having on your face when you came out to see him,” Eudora said. “Let’s go inside,” she added.Eudora led me back into her living room and we sat on the couch.In my head, I already knew that I was late for work, but I just c

AURORA’S POVShe did say she was sorry about letting me go, but that did nothing to quell the deep hurt and disappointment. Maverick was right and he had already started destroying me.I felt horrible as I walked out of her office and went back to the changing room. I loved working here, even more than my second job, and now, they had fired me because of Maverick, or because I broke things off with him. It just wasn’t fair that he was the one who cheated and wasn’t there for me when I needed him the most, and yet, I am the one facing the brunt of the broken engagement.The first tears fell as I began to change back into the clothes that Eudora had so generously given to me.“No, I don’t want to cry over him,” I told myself firmly and wiped off the tears quickly.He isn’t worth my tears and I know that for a fact. In all honesty, I wasn’t even crying because of Maverick; I was crying because of the job I lost, which took me back to the fact that if things had been the way they were s

AURORA’S POVI hesitated in front of my second boss’s office. Well, my only boss now, and maybe my ex-boss in a few minutes.“Gosh,” I exclaimed dejectedly as my shoulders sagged in defeat.Why was this happening to me? Deep down, I could already sense being fired. How could I lose two jobs in one day after everything I had been through? I wouldn’t be shocked if he said the exact words my other boss said, about Maverick and his family being affiliated with the company and not wanting to piss them off any further by allowing me to continue working here.“Why me?” I asked myself over and over again.I hadn’t done anything wrong. I was faithful, loyal, and loving to Maverick and I gave him everything, except my virginity though, but still, he had my entire heart, and I didn’t deliberately fall into bed with Arlo Bronson, but then again, Maverick didn’t even give me the benefit of the doubt.My other boss’s statement took my mind back to sometime ago when I had applied for the job and di

ARLO’S POV“Tell him that I am unavailable to see him at the moment. He should book an appointment with you,” I instructed tightly.My father had been coming for quite a while now, seeking to see me, but I kept turning him down with the same excuse, because I don’t want to see him.“Sir, I don’t think Sir Bronson is going to buy that this time around,” my secretary said skeptically.“Do what you are told,” I ordered her harshly.“Yes sir,” she immediately answered and I ended the call.“Fucking hell,” I muttered angrily as soon as I disconnected the call.“Are you ready for the supervision now, sir?” The factory head asked.“Yes, I am,” I responded.As the factory head took me around to check what the workers were doing, I could not shake off the painful and hurtful thought of my history. I had managed to stop thinking about it and letting it hurt me deeply, but each time the man showed up, I was forced to reflect on that day when I got the most embarrassing moment of my life.And to
