Semua Bab THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT : Bab 51 - Bab 60

I woke up in Aiden's bed and sunlight was pouring across our naked bodies. Aiden was already awake and he was watching me with a softer expression on his face. I rubbed my eyes and looked back at him because it felt good to see him right there."Good morning," I said.Aiden reached over and touched my shoulder, he smiled. "Good morning Elliot. You look nice sleeping there. I have been awake for a while just watching you."I moved closer to him under the covers and our bodies touched."Yeah I slept really well here with you. The bed is comfortable and I like waking up next to you like this. What time is it anyway."Aiden checked his phone quick and put it back. "It is still early enough.We do not have to rush anywhere right now. I like having you here in the morning light."We stayed in bed and Aiden pulled me in for a kiss. It was slow and lazy because we had time. His hands moved over my chest and down my sides and he took his time touching me everywhere.I breathed out and held ont

I stayed late at the office with Aiden because we had an urgent deal to finish. The building was quiet and most people had gone home already. We sat in his office and went over the papers and numbers for hours. I looked at the clock and it was past nine. "This deal is taking forever," I said. "But we are getting close now." Aiden nodded and rubbed his eyes. "Yeah we need to finish it tonight Elliot. I am glad you stayed to help me with it." We kept working and the tension from being alone built up between us. After a while Aiden put the papers down and looked at me. "I need to talk to you about something real," he said. "This thing between us is new and I want to know if I can trust you completely." I put my pen down too and faced him. "You can trust me Aiden. I would not do anything to hurt you or mess this up. But I get why you ask because work makes it complicated." Aiden stood up and walked around the desk. "I do not let people in easy Elliot. After everything in my past

I got to Aiden's place after work because he called me and his voice sounded different so I knew something was up. When I walked inside he was sitting on the couch and he looked tense. He pulled me down next to him right away and started talking. Aiden said Vivian came to his office earlier that day and she confronted him about me. She told him that my influence on him was too much and that he was changing because of me. Vivian said I was messing up how he ran things at work and that he needed to step back from me before it caused real problems. She kept talking and said it was not good for him or the company and that he should listen to her because she knew what was best. Aiden told me he let her finish then he shut her down cold. He said to her that this was not her place to talk about his personal stuff and that he did not want her opinions on who he spent time with. Aiden told her straight that I was important to him and she should stay out of it from now on. He said it in a

Elliot's POV The office felt different the next morning. No one said anything to my face but the air had shifted. Conversations died when I walked into the break room. Rumors had started. By lunch, I’d heard fragments…nothing direct, just enough to make my skin crawl. “Aiden’s been distracted lately.” “Wonder what’s really going on with the new guy.” I kept my head down and my expression neutral, but every time Aiden’s name came up in a meeting, the tension ratcheted higher. He stayed locked in his office most of the day. I only caught glimpses of him and the same exhausted look he’d worn after his father’s call. The weight of it pressed on me all afternoon. By the time five o’clock rolled around and the floors emptied, my shoulders ached with it. Aiden’s text came through simple and direct: Come up when it’s clear. His apartment was quiet when I let myself in. He was already in the bedroom, loosening his tie with sharp, frustrated movements, the city lights flickering through

Elliot's POV By morning, the photo had spread like wildfire through the company. It wasn’t confined to the gossip blog anymore. Screenshots flooded internal group chats. People I barely knew stared openly in the elevator. The whispers had evolved into something louder, bolder. I caught fragments everywhere: “Did you see them in the car?” “No wonder he’s been distracted.” “How long has this been going on?” I kept my chin up and my expression neutral, but the weight of it pressed heavy on my chest. Every hallway felt longer. Every meeting carried an undercurrent of judgment. Aiden had been unreachable most of the morning, locked behind closed doors with PR and legal teams. When the company-wide email came through announcing an all-hands meeting at two o’clock, my stomach twisted into knots. The large conference room was packed wall to wall. Tension hung thick in the air as people filed in. Aiden stood at the front of the room, composed in a crisp navy suit, but I could see the st
