Emma never expected a one-night stand to turn her life upside down. A passionate encounter with a stranger at a club leaves her breathless—but when she walks into her new job the next morning, she discovers that the man she spent the night with is none other than Kian Wilson, her new boss. Kian, the grumpy yet charismatic CEO of K&W Fashion House, is just as shocked to see her. Their undeniable attraction threatens to blur the lines between personal and professional, but when Kian’s controlling mother steps in, things take a darker turn. She arranges his engagement to another woman and secretly offers Emma a job as her personal assistant—unaware that Emma is carrying Kian’s child. As Emma is pulled deeper into the Wilson family’s twisted world, she must fight for her independence while hiding her pregnancy. When the truth comes out, Kian is torn between love and duty, forced to choose between the life his mother planned for him and the woman who truly holds his heart. With betrayals, power struggles, and heartbreaking choices, can Kian and Emma overcome the odds—or will their love story end before it even begins?
Lihat lebih banyakEMMAFEW WEEKS LATER I was in the kitchen cooking when I heard a knock on the door,I walked towards the door and opened it only to see Lisa.“Don’t ask me, I resigned” I said, knowing she would ask me why I didn’t get ready for work.Lisa froze, surprise etched across her face . “You can’t be serious, Emma. You resigned?”“I already sent the email because I couldn’t face him.” I sank onto the couch, arms crossed.Lisa groaned. “Why would you do that? This job was paying you well! You need the money!”I exhaled. “I slept with my boss, Lisa. Do you know how humiliating it is to show up at work, knowing people might talk? Knowing he probably thinks I’m just some desperate woman who slept her way up?”Lisa rolled her eyes. “Oh, please. If anything, Kian doesn’t look like a man who regrets that night. He’s literally trying to find you.”I was about to speak when I heard Lisa’s phone vibrate, Lisa glanced at the screen, she hesitated for a while because it was an unknown number but the num
BACK AT THE WILSON’S MANSIONKian barely stepped out of his car before his mother’s sharp voice cut through the evening air.“I’ve been waiting for you.”Margaret Wilson stood by the grand staircase, her designer dress pristine, her nails tapping impatiently against a folder she held. Mark, Kian’s manager, stood stiffly beside her, clearly uncomfortable.Kian exhaled, already annoyed. “What now?” “You tell me.” She shot back at him in anger.Kian sighed, already exhausted. “Mom.”She ignored him, flipping open the folder. “Do you know what this is?”Kian glanced at the glossy photos inside—him and Emma at the hotel. His jaw ticked.“Looks like someone’s been busy.”Margaret scoffed. “Busy making a fool of yourself.” She turned to Mark. “A one-night stand. With a nobody.”Kian’s patience thinned. “She has a name. Emma Anderson.”Margaret arched her brow. “Oh, wonderful. That makes it so much better.” She waved the pictures. “This is viral, Kian. The media is eating it up. Kian Wilson
EMMA The elevator door slid open, and for a split second, I froze.Kian Wilson.My one-night stand.My boss.His piercing blue eyes locked onto mine, recognition flickering across his face. My heart nearly exploded out of my chest.Shit.I did the only logical thing—I ran.“Hey—” a voice called, but I was already halfway down the hallway, my heels clicking against the marble floors.“Why is she running?” I heard someone—probably his manager—ask.I didn’t stop to find out. My only goal was to disappear before Kian could say anything.But the universe had other plans.Because as I turned the corner, my purse—my entire purse—slipped off my shoulder, spilling its contents across the floor.Lipstick. Keys. Phone.ID card.A pair of polished dress shoes stepped into my vision.Fuck.Slowly, I looked up.Kian was standing there, staring down at my ID card like he’d just discovered a plot twist in a novel. His fingers tightened around the plastic.“Emma Anderson,” he murmured, like he was te
EMMA"This is a bad idea, Em."Sienna’s voice barely registered over the thumping bass of the club. Neon lights flickered across her worried face as she clutched my wrist.I tugged my arm free, exhaling sharply. “I need one night, Si. One night to forget everything.”She sighed, her lips pressing into a thin line. “Drinking your problems away won’t change anything.”“I’m not looking for change.” I lifted my chin. “I just want to feel something other than stress.”“You haven't even been to the club before, you don't know how to hold your alcohol, what if you do anything beyond your limit” Sienna said.“I will be fine, do not worry about me.” I said with a smile.Her hesitation wavered, but she finally relented. “Fine. Just… be careful.”I nodded, grabbed my drink, and let the burn of tequila settle my nerves. For the first time in months, I wasn’t thinking about unpaid bills, my mom’s declining health, or the suffocating pressure of my new job.Tonight, I just wanted to be Emma. Not th
