Once Upon A One Night Stand Chapter 8
Damien's POV[The Morning Of The Interview] I flipped to the last page of the document and scrawled my signature onto the indicated space before snapping the file shut and pushing it awayI reclined in my chair, deciding to take a short break. A quick glance at the wall clock told me that it was a few minutes to 9'0 clock in the morning which meant that I had been working for one hour since I arrived at my office at 6'0 clock.I sighed and rubbed my temples, I had jumped out of bed after getting tired of waking up throughout the night then falling into a restless sleep only to startle awake again.I just couldn't sleep peacefully, every time I managed to fall asleep; I would hear my father's voice in my head, reminding me that the two weeks I had been given was getting closer and closer with each passing day.I still had no idea what to do or how to get out of the situation but one thing I hadn't changed my mind on was my decision to not marry Elena BassettLike my dad had said,
Once Upon A One Night Stand Chapter 1
Camilla's POVThe elevator doors opened and I took one step forward but immediately stopped dead in my tracks at the scene unfolding before me I let out an inaudible gasp as I continued to watch with widening eyes.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. **TWO HOURS EARLIER** I was seated at my desk in the moderately sized room that served as the head office for AXIA COSMETICS which was a small and relatively unknown cosmetic company in the country. Peering at my phone's lit up screen, I smiled as I clicked on the post I uploaded on social media to wish my boyfriend of two years now - Ryan - a happy birthday. My smile continued to widen as I read and reread the brief but touching message I had posted along with a picture of Ryan and I together, smiling lovingly at each other instead of the cameraWe looked so happy, so in love, so perfectWhich was exactly the way we were in real life and I knew that everyone who looked at the picture would be able to feel our love from it
Once Upon A One Night Stand Chapter 2
Camilla's POVThe sound of the cake box crashing to the floor made the smooching couple break apart and turn their heads towards where I stood, frozen in shockRyan's light brown eyes widened with horror when he saw me and I noticed some of the colour drain from his face. His arms slid from his alleged co-worker's waist and dropped almost limply to his sides "C-Camie" he rasped as he slowly stepped out of the elevator with his lover in tow. Her eyes were now slightly wide because she had just recognized me "It's.... It's really not what you think" He continued when they were both now standing before me Hot, angry tears welled up in my eyes and I clenched my shaking hands into fists "Oh yeah?" I scoffed harshly "Are you going to deny that you're cheating on me even when I just saw it with my own eyes?!"He took another step closer and reached out, trying to touch me but I slapped his hand away"Don't you dare touch me!" I hissed coldly "Just let me explain, Camie. Please" Ryan ple
Once Upon A One Night Stand Chapter 3
Camilla's POVI stood transfixed for at least ten seconds, eyes wide and mouth agape as I stared back at the extremely attractive male stranger who was standing a couple of feet away from me in all his tall glory.He was gorgeous.He looked to be about six feet and some inches tall. He was broad-shouldered and had a perfect muscular body that was neither too much or too small. His stature made him look untouchable in the sleek, fitted dark blue suit he had on.His inky black hair was pushed back which made his face stand out even more. His skin was smooth and literally glowed, making me wonder if he was even a real person and that I wasn't hallucinating from how drunk I was.Then there were his eyes; they were the most beautiful combination of blue and green I had ever seen. I didn't know how I was able to catch everything despite the dim lighting in the roomI couldn't remember the last time I had found a man so attractive, I was sure that I hadn't even been this attracted to Ryan wh

Camilla's POV"Camilla, my office, now" Jack gritted out and marched back into his office without closing the door "Fuck" I swore under my breath as I walked past Diana who was watching me with a look of pity along with the rest of my co-workers.I stepped into Jack's office and shut the door behind me before slowly turning to face him He was leaning on his desk with his arms folded across his chest as he watched me intently"Good morning, Mr Monroe" I greeted and he narrowed his eyes at me"There's a clock behind you, Camilla. Look at it and tell me what the time is" he uttered and I sighed tiredly "I know that I'm late, Mr Monroe there's no need to do that"For some reason, my patience with him felt like it was barely hanging on by a thread today and would snap any second nowMaybe it was because of the throbbing headache caused by my over indulgence in alcohol last night along with the rigorous activities performed on the handsome stranger's bed.My breath quickened slightly at
Once Upon A One Night Stand Chapter 5
Camilla's POV"Your mother is sick, and it's cancer"I blinked once, then twiceI sat very still and a heavy silence fell over usThe young doctor stared at me with slightly raised brows, an expectant look. He was expecting me to say something, to react to what he had just said but how could I when I was still in shock?I couldn't believe my ears, I needed him to repeat what he said so I could be sure because I probably misheard I forced my mouth open "Pardon? What did you say, doctor?"He heaved a quiet sigh of relief when I finally spoke"I know it's quite shocking, Miss Parker but your mother is really sick with cancer"I sucked in a sharp breath. I hadn't misheard. My mother was sick, WITH CANCERTears welled up in my eyes and my voice trembled as I asked the next question "What kind of cancer?""Breast cancer"I inhaled a shaky breath "What stage?"The young doctor sighed "Fortunately, it's still kind of in the early stage but with your mother's advanced age; her condition is wo

Damien's POV [The Morning After The One Night Stand]I reached out and twisted the shower's knob, cutting off the stream of warm water before stepping out of the cubicle. I grabbed a towel, wrapped it around my waist and walked slowly to the mirror hanging in a corner of the bathroom before wiping off the steam from the surface so I could see my reflectionAfter a few sharp wipes, my reflection stared blankly back at me and I stared back.I had seen my face countless times throughout my life but every time I did, I always had the same bored, unfazed and unimpressed reactionIt was really just a face. Nothing special Yet many, especially women, tended to gush and melt whenever they saw it It may be just a face but it definitely has made my life easier in certain areas. For example, getting women into my bed was VERY easy All I needed to do was tilt my head to the side a little, stare deeply into their eyes and smirk and they would literally become putty in my hands So the face def

Damien's POV "Because...." he replied in that familiar rich timbre of his voice "It's time for you to get married"I blinked and tilted my head as I arched a brow at him "I beg your pardon?"He took two steps forward and was now standing beside my desk, the stoic gaze he levelled me with never wavering"You heard me, Damien" he said matter-of-factI scoffed and chuckled wryly "What's this about me getting married all of a sudden?""It's not spontaneous, when you were made acting CEO of the company I told you the condition you need to meet in order to become the REAL head of this enterprise and you agreed that you would do it when the time comes" he uttered and I frowned slightly as I racked my brain to try and remember if we had actually ever had that conversationMy memories came up blank for the first few seconds before it suddenly hit me. It had happened two years ago, in his home office. I had just been appointed acting CEO of the company and we had decided to have a little fa
