Pregnant for My Ex’s Ruthless Boss의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

The club was exactly how Claire had described it. Maybe even more. It was a hidden world of desire, luxury, and a quiet form of danger. Unlike a cheaper club, this place pulsed with controlled music, whispered conversations, and bodies grinding against each other.Thanks to Claire's influence, we were able to make it into the private suite. I moved across the room with a renewed sense of confidence and motivation, even though I wasn't sure it was just my low alcohol tolerance kicking in.I glanced around the club, watching the way everyone moved in hypnotic sync, bodies grinding against each other, men and women kissing without shame. The interesting fact is they might be going through worse than I am currently experiencing.My eyes kept moving through the room, looking for a possible adventure I might explore tonight. Then I saw him.He was walking into the room, but not the same one I was in. He was escorted to the top floor. Everyone paved the way for him as he moved like he owned t

ARIA'S POV “WAKE THE FUCK UP, GIRL!” Claire's voice came louder this time, yelling as I tried to turn over.“It’s ten o'clock in the fucking morning and you have a lunch meeting by twelve. What the hell are you thinking by sleeping so late?” She came, dragging me off the bed.“Keep it down… my head is banging,” I murmured.“Sorry, but you need to get up so you won't be groggy when you get to the meeting. Remember, you have to go alone; you simply can't go with Ryan again.”I jumped up almost immediately. Memories of yesterday crashed through me all at once. I grabbed my phone, only to see tons of messages from Ryan, ranging from pleas to threats, but the last one was more like a desperate measure begging to see me, even if it was just once.I tossed my phone aside, getting up slowly.“What's with that look?” Claire frowned suspiciously.“I feel bad… I feel like I cheated on Ryan,” I murmured as I walked to the restroom, the evidence of yesterday's experience still buzzing between my l

CHAPTER SIXARIA'S POVMy legs were shaking by the time we finished the bargain. I walked hurriedly out of the conference room, trying to find the nearest bathroom. My thoughts were spinning and all over the place.How on earth is the same man I had practically seduced yesterday the same man I will have to deal with for the next eighteen months?I still can't believe I made such an impression on the biggest businessman in all of New York, the night before I met with him to help me out.I entered the bathroom, closing the door almost immediately. I rested my hands on the basin, watching my flushed face as my mind replayed the words he said last.He looked like he hadn't remembered ever meeting me, letting me wonder if he actually remembers me at all, but something about his comments felt off, and it felt like he was nudging at my boldness yesterday.“Fuckkkk…!” I groaned, dragging my hands through my dark hair. My phone vibrated, jolting me out of my thoughts.‘Where are you?’ Tyler's m

ARIA'S POVThe pressure from keeping up with an multimillion company like the Ashford Group is finally catching up to me. Today is the day we finalize the agreement between us, the day we actually sign the papers that confirm we will be partners for the next few months.I sighed as I pushed open the door of the restaurant, hoping I wouldn't actually have to face him today because I wasn't ready. The prayer seemed to work for a week. The past few days we have been meeting, I haven't even gotten a glimpse of him. He must actually be very busy.Today being the day we will have to finalize the signing, I have a feeling that I will get to see him again, even though he acted like he didn't know me during that first meeting despite the fact that his comments sounded two-faced.Since the moment he dismissed the meeting for a phone call, I haven't stopped thinking about what he wanted to say before the call interrupted.I bit my lower lip as I was directed to the VIP section of the restaurant.

ARIA'S POVMy body felt glued to the bed. And my entire limbs feel disconnected from my entire system. Three straight days of bargaining and moving from one model agency to another. I haven't gotten a good rest since.I managed to open my eyes, the room still brightly lit from the floor-to-ceiling windows. I finally moved back to my apartment. I pushed myself up, wincing as lack of sleep throbbed behind my eyes like a nasty hangover.Within minutes, I got dressed and was ready to go back to the company after almost a week of not attending, and two weeks of brief attendance. I need to stay in the office to address all of the irregularities in the office that follow up Ryan's drama.I stepped out of the car in front of the sleek Cole Group tower.The glass facade gleamed under the afternoon sun, a monument to my family’s legacy—and the mysteries still buried within it. Heads turned as I crossed the lobby. Whispers followed me into the elevator. I kept my chin high, shoulders back. But t
