All Chapters of one night to steal my heart: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Elowen POV “Thank you,” I muttered shyly, which I don't think he even heard me. His dark eyes never left my skin. “I must taste you.” My face twisted,puzzled by what he meant. Before I could push words from my lips to question him,he pulled my hips and slipped my thongs down my thighs. “Ah,” I gasped when I fell back on the bed and Rowan pushed my knees up my stomach. Cool air kissed the softest part of me,I could feel my arousal that now had an eye full of. “I think you like me”, I felt his furious breath against my slick core and tensed while grabbing fistfuls of the blanket over my head. “Good”,his tone came with a moan. Then his mouth was on me. Tasting me, licking me and devouring me,so deep and so fast. It was so wild and quick I couldn't catch my breath. Fire burning in my belly and goosebumps took over my skin. The tightness in my core was growing so fast as he swirled his tongue over my bundle of nerves repeating. Like it was his sole purpose in life to pleasure me.

Elowen Pov My boss noticed that I was pregnant but turned a blind eye to it. I continued to work for her but as I got far along ,it became difficult and I spent more time sleeping. Once my pregnancy progressed to five months,my boss called me and said, “I'm not running a charity organisation here, Mira. I've done my best for you. I also have children to feed. I need to employ someone else to assist me because you've become round and lazy. It's not your fault; it's your condition. You shouldn't have gotten pregnant if you knew you weren't ready. I won't be the one to take care of this baby because I have my hands full and I'm not related to it in any way. Move out and look for work somewhere else.” I went on my knees and pleaded with her but she refused to change her mind. In the end ,I left with my luggage and went back to my aunt's place since I had nowhere else to go. I thought she would be loved with pity if she saw my condition. However,I was gravely humiliated. She gath

Elwoen Pov The name Ashford Global sat in my chest the entire ride home, heavy and warm at the same time, like a coal I didn't want to put down. Noah fell asleep before we hit the highway, his cheek pressed against the window, his mouth slightly open the way it always went when exhaustion finally caught up to him. I kept glancing at him in the rearview mirror of Xavier's car, at the soft rise and fall of his chest, and I thought about how much I still hadn't told him. About his father. About the hole in our story that I filled with half truths and gentle deflections every time he asked. "You've gone quiet on us," Ava said from the front seat, twisting around to look at me. "Just thinking." "About the project or about the mystery billionaire?" "There's no mystery billionaire, Ava. There's a shortlist and a very long shot." "Sure." She grinned like she didn't believe a word of it. "Your long shots have a way of turning into sure things. Remember the internship you swore yo

Elowen Pov Ava insisted on doing my makeup, which meant I had approximately zero say in the final result."You're glowing," she said, stepping back to admire her work while I sat frozen in front of my bathroom mirror. "You never glow. Not even at Xavier's birthday when the open bar was free.""I'm not glowing. I'm sweating. There's a difference.""Keep telling yourself that." She capped the lipstick and handed it to me like a verdict. "It's just dinner, right? A conversation?""Right.""Then why do you look like you're about to walk into battle?"Because I was. Because somewhere between the boardroom and my closet, one dinner had stopped feeling like a conversation and started feeling like the first domino in a line I couldn't see the end of.Noah was already asleep at Ava's by the time I left, tucked into the guest room with Sienna's stuffed rabbit clutched against his chest because he refused to sleep anywhere without something to hold. I kissed his forehead before I left, breathed

Elowen Pov Neither of us slept.Caspian stayed until nearly three in the morning, the two of us sitting at my kitchen table with his phone buzzing every few minutes, each notification worse than the last. By sunrise the story had spread from one gossip site to four major outlets, then to six, then to a number I stopped trying to track because watching it multiply felt like watching a wound refuse to close."They have a photo of us," I said, staring at my own screen with a kind of numb disbelief. "From the boardroom. How does anyone have a photo from inside a private boardroom?"Caspian's jaw tightened. "Someone on the board leaked it. Has to be. No one else had access to that room.""Your uncle.""Or someone loyal to him." He rubbed a hand down his face, and for the first time since I'd met him, he looked less like a billionaire CEO and more like an exhausted man carrying too much at once. "This isn't a coincidence, Elowen. He tries to remove me as CEO the same night this story break
