Lahat ng Kabanata ng One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride: Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

ARLO’S POVI left my company with just one of the company’s regular average cars.I wanted to go in my convoy, but I remembered that to Aurora, I was the poor and wretched abandoned illegitimate son of the Bronson family, and being that this meeting was holding at a local bar, I didn’t want Aurora to by chance, get to know that I arrived in my convoy.I never really cared about what anyone thought about me.And if it wasn’t for this purpose, I certainly would have used my convoy, especially to command respect and fear, which is what I yearned to take forcefully from everyone even if they didn’t want to give me, but I didn’t want things to be ruined with Aurora.Her opinion of me mattered a lot to me, even though I would rather die than admit it to the likes of Gideon.I arrived at the restaurant and was somehow amazed.My secretary called it a local restaurant, but what she didn’t explain to me was that it was a restaurant that served the local delicacies of the city. Other than that,

AURORA’S POV“I won’t do it,” I declared firmly.So this had something to do with my fiancé after all…my ex-fiancé by the way.“Aurora, you cannot just turn down job order like that,” he stated, but I wasn’t having it.I wasn’t even just upset that I was being asked to do something that isn’t even my job prescription, but by the fact that Maverick was trying to affect my life in every way possible.First, I got fired at my first job because of him, and now this?I was livid.“I have every right to turn it down, Elvin,” I responded without flinching.I had had enough of being tossed around like that.Maverick freaking cheated on me, but I don’t see him suffering for what he did, and neither is Astrid, but here I am, facing one challenge or the other.I just won’t have it this time around.“I don’t belong under this department, Elvin. If he needs someone to have his supplies delivered to his doorstep, then he should make use of one of your staff members,” I retorted.I started to wonder

ARLO’S POVThe moment I saw Aurora, my blood went cold.I turned to Gideon and asked him gruffly, “What is she doing here?”“I guess she was called,” Gideon responded.We could see Aurora where she sat down, waiting, but she couldn’t see us from our standing point, and I was deeply upset.“Who the heck called her?” I asked Gideon, more upset than ever before.They had no business calling her, and no right whatsoever.“I think it’s one amateur cop who just overdid it. I was called, as usual, and I don’t know why he went behind his boss’s back to call her. I was shocked when I arrived and found her here too,” Gideon explained.What?“She was here before you?” I asked Gideon.“Surprises me,” Gideon responded.“How did this cop get her cell phone number?” I asked angrily.“I didn’t ask that, Arlo. I was busy trying to fill the paperwork to get you out, especially since you refused to use your power,” Gideon responded.“Has anyone been talking to her?” I asked Gideon worriedly. “I don’t wa

AURORA’S POVI couldn’t hear what Eudora said to Arlo, but I knew that she said something to him. However, that wasn’t my confusion.“Eudora, what are you doing here?” I asked her.She looked like she was going into war and for the life of me, I could not understand why.“I came for you,” Eudora said.“Let’s go to the bedroom,” I said and dragged Eudora upstairs.I didn’t have to drag her though. Eudora still couldn’t get over the beauty of the mansion, so she willingly went upstairs with me. When we got to my room, we sat on the bed.“What did you say?” I asked her.“I told you I was going to come and get you, Aurora. I know I said last night, but things got too busy for me and I couldn’t get away, but I am here now,” Eudora responded.Then she began to check me out.“What are you doing?” I asked her, still confused.I had completely even forgotten that Eudora promised to come and get me over the phone. The minute I got into the room last night and laid on the bed, I totally forgot a

AURORA’S POVMy stomach soured when I got close to Maverick’s front door. It wasn’t difficult to get through his security personnel because they already knew me, and Maverick probably told them already that he was expecting me.Do I really need to be doing this?It wasn’t until I was closer to the door that it dawned on me that I could have easily used someone else. I could have asked Eudora to deliver it for me.She hated Maverick, but she would do that just so that I wouldn’t have to face him.“Please come in, ma’am,” Maverick’s doorman said to me. “Mr. Maverick is expecting you,” he added.“Why don’t you take this and give this to him?” I asked, stretching the item to the man. “It’s the same thing as far as I am concerned, and no one can say that I didn’t get it delivered here myself,” I added.But he shook his head. “I am sorry, but I cannot accept that from you on his behalf because I wasn’t given that instruction. You would have to come in and give it to him yourself; that is
