All Chapters of One Night Stand: The Secret Billionaire Bride: Chapter 71 - Chapter 78

AURORA’S POVI cannot believe that I let Eudora talk me into doing this. I have never been a fan of her stupid and crazy ideas, and this was even worse.“What if he finds out?” I had asked her after drafting a commanding letter from the M&T Empire CEO with his fake signature.“How is he going to know?” Eudora had asked me in return.“This is Arlo’s boss we are playing with and it’s dangerous, Eudora. It could land us both in jail if we get caught. This is forgery, and as such, a crime,” I had warned Eudora.But as always, she never listens to me.“That’s only a few months in cell, Aurora. Stop sounding like it’s a life sentence,” she said casually.“You are not taking this seriously and I don’t like it,” I said. “You might be willing to spend months in a cell but I don’t even want to stay one night,” I had added.“Then stop fussing! How many times do I have to keep saying this?” Eudora had scolded. “How would he know the CEO’s signature? Has he seen it before?” Eudora had asked.“It’

AURORA’S POVI quickly hurried into the restroom at my workplace, checked to ensure that no one was there before calling Eudora in excitement.Then I prayed fervently that she should pick up, because I understood how busy she could get.Eventually, my prayer got answered because she picked almost immediately,“You won’t believe what I have to tell you!” Eudora squealed delightfully as soon as the call connected.She was always doing it.She wouldn’t call, but when I call, she always wants to talk first. Anyway, Eudora still remains my best friend even though she can be very annoying sometimes. However, I didn’t want her to have her way this time around.“Eudora, listen!” I yelled, but in a whisper.Gosh, she could be so overbearing and frustrating sometimes.“You also have something to tell me?” Eudora asked.“Apparently, otherwise why would I be calling you?” I asked her, rolling my eyes. “And I need to quickly say this before we both have to get back to what we have to do,” I added.

ARLO’S POV“Why did you change your mind?” Gideon asked me as he drove us out of the damn company.Even his lousy secretary couldn’t even ask us if we had successfully seen him or why we were leaving so soon.I couldn’t even control the anger that rose inside of me.“It was either that or go in there and beat him to a pulp,” I said through clenched teeth.“But you can’t continue to beat up every man that upsets you, Arlo,” Gideon cautioned.“That’s why I left,” I said. “He is such a deadbeat to have sold his daughter out like that,” I added.“My stomach churned when I heard him make that statement,” Gideon affirmed. “For the first time, Arlo, trust me, I wanted to punch him badly,” Gideon revealed.I didn’t doubt him, because I felt the same way, and for Gideon who had never lifted a finger to touch a single soul unlike me, to feel like punching him, then Aurora’s father deserved it.“And I would be damned to give that greedy bastard a dime from my hard-earned money,” I stated tightly

ARLO’S POV“Didn’t I ask you to go to the room, Arlo?” She had asked me angrily.Then as I looked more into her eyes, I noticed that she was also ashamed.Ashamed and embarrassed that I had heard what she didn’t want me to hear or see her in so much tears and pain.“I am sorry, mum,” I had apologized meekly.“Why didn’t you go?” She had asked me bitterly.“You were so upset and unhappy, and…and I didn’t want to leave you alone,” I had responded, stuttering.I was just a little boy, but then that was half-lie and half-truth. “Still, you should have listened to me. I don’t like it when you act really stubborn, Arlo, and you know this! If you hadn’t punched that kid, you would be in school by now,” she had scolded me really angrily.I didn’t realize it then, but I got to know much later that she always liked it when I was away at school because that was the time that she had to try to beg and cajole and force Sir Bronson to accept me as his son and take responsibility.Then at night, sh
