All Chapters of One Night With the Arrogant Billionaire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

Aria’s P.O.VThe club was nothing like the quiet places I was used to. Lights flashed in every color, cutting through the thick air as bodies moved everywhere I looked. People danced without shame, without fear, skin pressed against skin. Half-naked men and women swayed together, laughing, touching, lost in the music. On raised podiums, strippers moved slowly, confidently, their bodies on display like it was the most natural thing in the world.I felt overwhelmed and fascinated all at once. “This is wild.” I muttered.Damien’s hand rested lightly at my back as he guided me through the crowd. I stayed close to him without thinking, my senses flooded by noise, heat, and movement. My heart beat fast, but not only from the music.“This way,” he said, leaning closer so I could hear him.The deeper we moved into the club, the harder it became to process everything at once.Bodies moved under flashing lights, music pulsing through every inch of space, laughter and whispers blending into some

Aria’s P.O.V “Stop.” That single word froze me in place, as if cold water had been doused all over me. I realized what I had been about to do with growing horror, remembering that we weren’t exactly in the privacy of a bedroom. And not only that…I had just let my boss make me cum with his fingers… “Oh…god! I’m so sorry—” “Don’t,” Damien’s voice was breathless. “I’m not mad, but some things, need to be done in private.” With that, he pressed a switch on the wall, right beside the couch, and the glass doors to the boot began to close on their own. Before long, the doors were completely shut, cutting off the noise and the lights. I could still see everyone outside, but I doubt anyone could see what was happening inside the booth.

Aria’s P.O.VThe moment the words left Amara’s mouth, the whole room went silent.“I’m in love with Landon,” she said, her chin lifted like she had just done something brave.I blinked once, then twice and for a second, I thought I had heard wrong. My mother’s hand froze in the air halfway to her mouth. My father leaned back in his chair slowly, staring at the two of them like he was trying to understand what was happening.Landon couldn’t even look at anyone. His head was bent so low he might as well have been studying the floor tiles. His hands were clasped together tightly.Amara, on the other hand, looked… pleased.No, she looked smug. Like someone who had just won the lottery. My eyes moved between them slowly. My sister and my now ex-boyfriend who hadn’t even properly broken up with me before jumping into my sister’s bed because he was a douche bag and would continue to be.“Well?” Amara said, glancing at our parents, like she had just won some grand competition no one else real

Aria’s P.O.VBy the next morning, the entire house already felt suffocating.My mother had somehow transformed into a full-time wedding planner overnight while Amara floated around the kitchen pretending to be a glowing future mother despite looking suspiciously hungover.Meanwhile, Landon barely spoke during breakfast.Honestly, it was almost awkward watching him avoid my gaze every five seconds like he was terrified I might suddenly start throwing plates at his head.Unfortunately for him, I was far more interested in finishing my toast and getting to work.

Aria’s P.O.VBy the end of the workday, I had opened approximately fourteen browser tabs, compared six theater companies, rejected five production teams, and developed a stress headache directly behind my left eye.Honestly, if corporate survival counted as an Olympic sport, I deserved at least a bronze medal by now.I sat at my desk staring blankly at another production company profile while trying very hard not to slam my forehead against the keyboard.Every alternative company came with some kind of disaster attached to it.
