All Chapters of A NIGHT WITH MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS : Chapter 171 - Chapter 180

Aiden’s POVThe next morning, I hadn’t slept not even for a few minutes. I sat in the temporary command center with a cup of coffee turning cold between my hands, staring at the map spread across the table.Red markings covered the coastline and search areas, some parts were marked red, that’s the places the boats had already checked.I rubbed my face and looked toward the ocean through the window. “Please be okay.”I whispered it so quietly that nobody heard me.Riley was sitting a few feet away and she looked at me. “You should sleep.”“I can’t.”“You said that yesterday.”“And I’m saying it again today.”She sighed and before she could say anything else, a loud sound came from outside, i looked up and they were helicopters.Several of them.Everyone inside the command center immediately started moving.I stood up and my heart started pounding. “They’re here.”Riley followed me outside and a helicopter landed nearby.The door opened and Andrew stepped out, looking like he was getti

Aiden’s POVThe room was too quiet.Everyone had been talking for hours, but now we were sitting around a large table inside the temporary command center, and nobody seemed to know what else to say.Maps covered the table and the coastline had been marked with different colored lines. There were circles around areas that had already been searched, notes about the direction of the currents, and photographs taken from the helicopters.I stared at one particular map, the ocean looked so harmless on paper, it was just wide and blue but somewhere inside all that blue were two people I loved.My sister and Orion.I rubbed my tired eyes and across the table was Andrew.His expression was grim as he listened to the police commander explain the situation.Lily sat beside him, her hands clasped together.Orion’s parents were on the other side of the table.His mother looked exhausted.His father hadn’t said much since they arrived.There were several officers and members of the special forces

Aria’s POV“Are you sure you’re okay?” he asked again.I nodded. “Yes im totally fine”“Nothing hurts?”“Nope.”He stared at me for another second and then he slowly let go, my feet touched the ground gently “There.”I straightened my clothes. “Thank you.”“You’re welcome.”He looked up at the tree and then at me.“You’re not climbing anything else.”I rolled my eyes. “ Ha ha i wasn’t planning to.”“You were literally climbing a tree thirty seconds ago.”“That was different.”“How?”“I wanted to get some fruits.”He sighed. “You’re so helpful.”I rolled my eyes at him and bent down and picked up the fruits that had fallen during my little adventure.“Come on.”“Where are we going?”“To wash them.”We found a small stream not too far from the house, the water was clear enough to see the stones underneath, I crouched beside it and washed the fruits carefully.Orion sat nearby, he was still moving carefully because of his injuries and we didn’t have any painkillers here, I couldn’t imag

Orion’s POVI stared into the trees and nothing moved, I slowly stepped in front of Aria. “Stay behind me.”She immediately grabbed my arm “What was that?”“I don’t know.”“Could it be an animal?”“Maybe.”She tightened her grip. “That isn’t reassuring.”“I wasn’t trying to reassure you.”She gave me an annoyed look, I scanned the trees again and saw nothing.“Maybe it was just a branch,” I said.Aria frowned. “You don’t believe that.”“No.”“Great.”I looked at her. “Come on.”“Where?”“Back to the house.”She nodded and neither of us spoke as we walked.I kept looking over my shoulder, every few seconds, I stopped and listened.Eventually, the little wooden house came into view.I let out a breath and Aria hurried inside, I stayed outside for another moment, studying the forest.Something had moved, I knew it but whether it was an animal or something else, I couldn’t tell.I finally stepped inside.“You’re sure we’re safe here?” she asked.I sat opposite her. “No.”Her eyes widened

Aria’s POVThe sound came again.Crunch, crunch, crunch.I couldn’t move.Orion stood in front of me, his entire body tense and the fire between us crackled, throwing orange light across his face.“Did you hear that?” I whispered.“Yes.”Another branch snapped.This time, from somewhere farther to our left.Orion picked up the knife we’d found earlier.“Stay here.”I immediately grabbed his arm “No don’t go anywhere”“Aria.”“I’m not staying here alone.”He looked at me for a moment and then he sighed.“Fine but stay behind me.”I nodded and we both stared into the darkness, a few seconds passed then a small animal suddenly darted through the bushes.I screamed and Orion jumped, the animal disappeared into the trees and we stood there frozen then Orion slowly lowered the knife.I stared at him and he stared at me.“You screamed my ears off.”“So did you.”“I did not.”“You absolutely did.”“I made a noise.”I burst out laughing and he shook his head “Don’t.”“You were scared!”“I w
