All Chapters of One Night with My Maid : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

The thunderous applause from the high-society crowd echoed off the high gilded ceilings, but inside Elena’s chest, the silence was deafening. Zachary maintained his heavy, possessive grip on her waist as they bowed gracefully to their guests, the picture-perfect image of corporate royalty. Flashbulbs from the authorized media crew exploded in rapid succession, capturing her flawless, radiant smile and the glittering family diamonds resting heavily against her collarbone. "Keep smiling, Elena," Zachary murmured smoothly through his teeth, his eyes scanning the crowd with a sharp, predatory satisfaction. "You just gave them exactly what they wanted to see." As the orchestra began a lighter, uptempo melody, the tension on the floor broke, and other elite couples began to join them on the marble space. Zachary guided her toward the VIP lounge area, where waiter servers in crisp white uniforms immediately offered them flutes of vintage champagne. Elena took a glass, her fingers trembling

The burning heat of Zachary’s hand against her jaw was the only thing anchoring Elena to reality as the distant music of the ballroom continued to hum. His chest heaved against hers, his predatory aura completely enveloping her in the dim corner of the VIP lounge. The sheer weight of his possessiveness was suffocating, yet a dangerous, electric current crackled in the narrow space between their lips."Bitiwan mo ako, Zachary," Elena whispered, her voice a fragile mix of defiance and exhaustion. "Nasasaktan ako."As if struck by a sudden realization, Zachary’s eyes flashed with a brief flicker of restraint. He slowly let his fingers slide away from her jaw, but his large hand remained firmly clamped around her wrist, refusing to give her even an inch of freedom. He took a deep, ragged breath, forcing the raw, territorial beast back beneath his cold, corporate armor."We are leaving. Tapos na ang palabas natin dito," Zachary commanded coldly, his voice returning to its smo

The sheer force of Zachary’s mouth on hers obliterated the last remnants of Elena's sanity. This wasn't the cold, calculating billionaire who governed an empire with an iron fist; this was a man driven entirely by a raw, unadulterated hunger. His lips bruised hers, demanding an absolute surrender that she could no longer deny. A soft, breathless whimper escaped her throat, and instead of pushing him away, her fingers tangled frantically into his thick, dark hair, pulling him closer until there was no space left between them.Zachary let out a low, guttural growl against her mouth, the sound vibrating deep within her chest. His large hands slid away from the vanity and gripped her waist with a bruising intensity, lifting her effortlessly until she was sitting on the edge of the marble counter. The cold stone against her thighs contrasted sharply with the searing heat of his body."Zachary..." she gasped out as his lips tore away from her mouth, only to trail a path of burning

The frantic beating of their hearts slowly synchronized in the quiet aftermath of the storm. The master bedroom was dead silent, save for the fading sound of their ragged breathing. Zachary did not pull away; instead, his heavy weight remained anchored over her, his strong arms wrapping tightly around her waist as he buried his face in the crook of her neck, inhaling the sweet, intoxicated scent of her skin.Sa loob ng mahabang sandali, walang sinuman sa kanila ang nagtangkang magsalita. Ang nag-aalab na init na bumalot sa silid kanina ay dahan-dahang napalitan ng isang mapayapa ngunit mabigat na katahimikan. Elena lay beneath him, her body completely spent, her mind racing with a profound mix of vulnerability and a growing, terrifying realization. Ang bawat mapang-angking haplos at halik ni Zachary ay nag-iwan ng permanenteng marka sa kanyang pagkatao—isang katotohanan na hindi na mabubura ng kahit anong kasunduan.Zachary shifted slightly, rolling onto his side but immedia

The cold efficiency in Zachary’s voice acted like ice water poured over the lingering embers of Elena's vulnerability. Her chest tightened as she looked at the man standing before her. Just hours ago, those same lips had whispered fierce, territorial vows against her skin; now, they were calculating stock margins and public relations damage control."Isang palabas na naman, Zachary?" Elena asked, a bitter laugh escaping her lips as she clutched the silk sheet closer to her chest. "Matapos ang lahat ng nangyari kagabi, ganoon na lang ba kadali sa iyo na ibalik ang lahat sa negosyo?"Zachary’s eyes narrowed, a momentary flash of something dark and complex crossing his face before his icy composure settled back into place. "Sa mundong kinagisnan ko, Elena, ang emosyon ay isang luho na nagiging mitsa ng pagbagsak. If we don’t control this narrative within the next two hours, the board will use this scandal to freeze our assets. Is that what you want?"Elena looked away, unab
