HIS OBSESSION: The Billionaire’s Little Secret.
I cleared my throat and picked up the menu, pretending to study it. “So,” I said after a moment, “before we start pretending this is something serious, you should know… I’m not exactly the settling-down type.”
He arched his brow but said nothing.
“I do hookups,” I continued, keeping my tone casual. “That night at the hotel? I was supposed to meet someone else. I went into the wrong room. You were literally a mistake.”
He didn’t flinch. Didn’t even blink. Just smirked faintly and reached for his glass of whisky, taking a slow sip.
My fake confidence wavered. “Did you hear what I said?”
“Every word,” he said quietly.
“And?”
“And I’m still here.”
I stared at him with disbelief. “Wow. You’re not even mad? You’re supposed to call off the wedding and storm out or something.”
He chuckled in a low tone, resting his elbow on the table. “You’re really trying hard to get rid of me, aren’t you?”
*******
I caught my fiancé cheating with the woman he called his “sister.” Broken, drunk, and reckless, I stumbled into the wrong hotel room, and into the arms of a stranger. By morning, he was gone, leaving only a note: Wrong room, but you taste good.
I wanted to forget him. Weeks later, my best friend begged me to meet the man her father had arranged for her to marry and make him call off the wedding. I went there in her place, only to discover he was the same man from that night.
He called off the wedding with her. Then he asked me to marry him, but I refused.
But refusing a billionaire with an obsession is never that simple… especially when he shows up as my new boss.
