Elliot's POV My phone buzzed at six in the evening just as I was packing up my desk. Aiden's name appeared on the screen with a message that made my heart race. "Come to my penthouse tonight. I will send you the address." I stared at the message for a full minute trying to figure out what it meant. Aiden never invited anyone to his home, he kept his personal life completely separate from work. But now he was asking me to come over which felt like crossing some invisible line we had both been careful not to cross. "Okay" I typed back even though my hands were shaking. A second later his address came through along with "Eight o'clock." I went home to change because showing up in my work clothes felt wrong somehow. I put on jeans and a plain black shirt then changed into a different shirt then changed back because I was being ridiculous. It was just Aiden's apartment. We were probably going to talk about work. The address he gave me was in the nicest part of Manhattan where doormen

Vivian’s POVI waited until the break room was empty except for Elliot before walking in. He was standing at the coffee maker with his back to me looking pathetic in his cheap shirt and wrinkled pants. This was the person Aiden chose over me. This nobody.I plastered on my best fake smile then walked toward him. "Good morning Elliot."He turned around fast and I saw the panic flash across his face before he hid it. Good. He should be scared of me."Morning," he said while gripping his coffee cup like it was a weapon."I wanted to talk to you," I said while pouring myself coffee even though I already had some in my office. "Do you have a minute?""I need to get back to work," he said then tried to walk past me but I stepped in front of him blocking the door."This will only take a second," I said. "I promise.""What do you want?""I want to apologize," I said. "For the coffee incident, for being rude to you. I have not been very welcoming and that was wrong of me.""It is fine," he sai

Elliot's POV I woke up to sunlight coming through the windows and Aiden's arm wrapped around my waist. For a second I forgot about everything bad and just felt warm and safe and happy. His chest was pressed against my back and I could feel him breathing slow and steady like he was still asleep. I didn't want to move because moving meant facing reality and I wanted to stay in this moment forever but then Aiden shifted behind me and I felt his lips on my shoulder. "You're awake," he said with his voice all rough from sleep. "Yeah," I said while turning over to face him. His hair was messy and he had pillow marks on his face and he looked more beautiful than I'd ever seen him. "Morning," he said then kissed me soft and slow. His hand moved down my side and I felt my body responding even though we just did this last night. "Morning," I said back. "What time is it?" "Early," he said while pulling me closer. "We have time." "Time for what?" I asked even though I knew exactly what h

Elliot's POV I was at my desk trying to recreate financial reports from memory when I heard shouting from the lobby. Everyone on the floor stopped working and looked toward the elevators. My stomach dropped because I recognized that voice. It was Liam, my brother. I stood up fast then walked toward the lobby where my brother was arguing with security. He was wearing an expensive suit and looked angry which meant this was bad. Really bad. "I need to see my brother," Liam was saying to the security guard. "His name is Elliot Hayes and he works here." "Sir I need you to calm down," the guard said. "If you don't have an appointment I can't let you past the lobby." "I don't need an appointment to see my own brother," Liam said louder. People were staring now and pulling out their phones to record. I walked up fast before this got worse. "It's okay. He's with me." The security guard looked relieved. "You know him?" "He's my brother," I said even though saying it out loud felt like a

Elliot's POV One hour until the board meeting and Aiden's office felt too quiet. Everyone else had cleared out giving him space to prepare but he asked me to stay. I sat on the couch watching him go through his notes for the hundredth time while my stomach twisted into knots. I needed to tell him right now before my father showed up and did it for mr, but every time I opened my mouth to start the words got stuck in my throat. "You're staring," Aiden said without looking up from his papers. "Sorry," I said. "I'm just worried about you." "Don't be," he said. "I've been in worse situations than this." "Have you?" I asked because I didn't believe him. He finally looked up and gave me a small smile. "No probably not. This is pretty bad." "Aiden I need to tell you something," I said while standing up. My hands were shaking so I shoved them in my pockets. "It's important." Can it wait?" he asked while checking his watch. "I have fifty five minutes to finalize this presentation and
