EMMAKian pulled up in front of Sienna’s house and didn’t say a word.I opened the door without hesitation, stepping out without looking back. The second I shut it behind me, he drove off. No pause. No hesitation.Good.I walked inside, my body feeling heavier with each step. The scent of something warm and savory filled the air. Sienna stood by the kitchen counter, stirring a pot. She looked up when I entered, her sharp eyes scanning my face.“So, you finally made up your mind?” she asked, setting the spoon down.I nodded, dropping my bag on the couch. “We’ll only be happy if we aren’t together.” My voice was flat. Emotionless.Sienna scoffed. “Yeah? You think lying to yourself is gonna make it hurt less?”I ignored her, pulling out my phone. I had several missed calls from Grandfather Edward. My stomach tightened.Sienna saw my face. “Who is it?”“Grandfather.”She sighed. “You gonna call him back?”I didn’t answer. Instead, I grabbed my car keys and walked out.—The drive back to

EMMA“She—she told me I was nothing,” Sylvia whispered, voice trembling. “That Kian would never love me. That I was just a desperate woman chasing after a man who would always belong to her.”“I said that?” I asked, my eyes filled with regret.“Yes you did.” She shot back at me. “You said hurtful words to Aunt, to me, you even said some lustful words to grandfather.” My stomach twisted. That wasn’t true. But the way she spoke, the way her eyes shimmered with unshed tears, I knew she had done this before—played the victim so well, so convincingly, that it was impossible to tell the truth from lies.I turned to Mrs. Kim, my only hope.Her lips parted.Then closed.Her fingers clenched around the cloth she was holding. Her eyes darted between me and Sylvia. And then—slowly, hesitantly—she lowered her gaze.“I… I didn’t hear everything,” she murmured.A cold weight settled in my chest.Sylvia let out a soft, broken sob. “Obviously Mrs.Kim wouldn’t because she is scared of Emma, I don't k

EMMAKian’s jaw tightened as the weight of my words settled between us.And then Mark stepped forward. “Miss Emma, let me.”But I cut him off “Lucas will take me home,” I said again, louder this time, making sure everyone in the room heard me.The air turned thick. Heavy.Sylvia’s lips parted in shock, but she quickly masked it with a smug smile, stepping closer to Kian like she belonged there.I turned on my heels, heading for the exit. But before I could take another step—“Emma.”Margaret’s sharp voice cut through the silence.I stilled.Slowly, I turned.She stood near the grand staircase, her eyes cold, calculating. The room was silent, all eyes flickering between her, me, and Kian.Then—she exhaled, shaking her head in disappointment.“Kian,” she said smoothly, tilting her head. “Get your act together.”Kian’s fists clenched.“You just got married,” she continued, her voice laced with authority. “It’s only right that you stay with your wife.”The words hung in the air, suffocati

EMMA “One of the shareholders of E&J?” I repeated, gripping the phone tighter.“Yes,” the voice on the other end confirmed, deep and unreadable.I shifted uncomfortably in my chair. “And why are you calling me?”A pause. Then—“Because you’re sitting on something that doesn’t belong to you.”I frowned. “What?”The line went dead.I stared at my phone, my mind racing. What the hell was that supposed to mean?Then—A knock on the door.I turned, my heart still hammering in my chest. Slowly, I walked over and pulled it open.Standing there, dressed in her usual uniform, was Mrs. Kim.The Wilsons’ head maid.The last person I expected to see.She smiled warmly, like we were old friends. “My dear.”I stiffened. “Why are you here?”She held up a small container wrapped in a silk cloth. “Never mind that. I brought you food. You’re still part of the family, anyway.”Family.The word felt foreign now.I hesitated before stepping aside, letting her in. She sighed as she looked around, shaking

THE WILSON MANSIONSylvia stirred the pot of soup, humming softly as the rich aroma filled the kitchen. Everything had to be perfect. Kian was her husband now. She needed to make sure he ate well, that he started seeing her as a wife—his wife.When the food was ready, she carefully arranged the dishes on a tray and carried them to the dining room. The table was set, and she took a deep breath before heading upstairs.“Kian,” she called softly, knocking on his bedroom door.No answer.She pushed the door open and found him sitting on the edge of the bed, already dressed for work. His expression was blank, but his sharp gaze flickered toward her.“I made breakfast,” she said, forcing a smile. “Come down and eat.”He stood without a word, adjusting his cuffs. Then—“I’m not eating.”She clenched my fists, swallowing her frustration. “Kian, I woke up very early to make you something, you need to eat it before going to work—”And then a car horn sounded outside.Mark.Kian didn’t even glan

EMMAThe silence in the boardroom stretched. The deal was sealed, but the tension in the air was suffocating.Margaret sat stiffly, her hands clasped together, her knuckles turning white. Sylvia, beside her, wore a smirk that sent a chill down my spine. Kian was unreadable, his fingers tapping lightly against the table, his gaze distant.Mrs. Hailey, however, remained composed. She leaned back in her chair and gave me a small nod.“You did a great job today, Emma,” she said. “I’m glad you’re in this company and I am sure with you here we will achieve a lot.”I opened my mouth to thank her, but Sylvia cut in.“That compliment should be given to me, Hailey and not her. Are you blind?.”I turned to Sylvia, already exhausted by her interruptions. “Mrs. Hailey, Sylvia. And will you please give her some respect?” My voice was soft, but firm.Mrs. Hailey only smiled, waving a hand dismissively. “No, it’s fine, Emma.”But Sylvia wasn’t finished. She tilted her head, eyeing Hailey from head to

EMMAHAILEY’S MANSION“Mrs. Hailey, you—” I started, but before I could finish, the door opened.A young woman walked in, her heels clicking against the marble floor. Her presence was immediate—confident, sharp, and completely unapologetic.She had the same sharp features as Hailey, the same piercing gaze.“Nora, Never knew you would come home so fast” Hailey said smoothly.“Mother.” Nora barely glanced at her before her eyes landed on me. She crossed her arms, her brows lifting in a slow, deliberate assessment. “Who’s she?”Hailey exhaled. “A business partner.”Nora scoffed. “Business partner? Since when do you bring business partners home?”“Nora,” Hailey warned, her voice edged with authority.But Nora wasn’t done. She walked closer, her sharp eyes narrowing. “Wait a second—aren’t you Kian’s ex-girlfriend? Before he married that Sylvia girl?”Silence filled the room.I swallowed, already regretting being here.“Nora,” Hailey’s voice turned cold. “That’s enough.”“I am, do you have

EMMAThe tension crackled like electricity. Kian’s gaze was locked onto me, his eyes dark, unreadable. Mark stood a few feet behind me, watching, silent.“Where were you?” Kian asked, his voice deceptively calm.I took a step closer, my arms crossing. “I should be asking you. Why are you here?”“I just came by.” His voice was soft, but something about the way he said it sent a shiver through me.I narrowed my eyes. “Did you follow us?”Kian didn’t answer immediately. His fingers flexed at his sides, jaw tightening. “I had a feeling you’d be here.”A feeling? That wasn’t an answer.I scoffed, shaking my head. “Kian, you have no right to—”“Get in the car, Emma.” His voice was low, firm.I blinked, caught off guard by the sudden command. “Excuse me?”He took another step, closing the distance between us. His cologne—something rich and expensive—wrapped around me, suffocating, intoxicating. “Let’s go.”I tilted my head, my tone sharp. “And why would I do that?”Kian’s eyes flickered with

EMMA“It was Kian,” Hailey whispered as the door creaked wider and the footsteps stopped just outside the study.I stepped forward slowly, heart thudding, and sure enough—there he was.Kian.He looked just as shocked to see me as I was to see him.His hand still gripped the brass doorknob. His eyes flicked from me to Hailey, then to the folder half-hidden beneath my coat.“What are you doing in here?” he asked.I didn’t answer immediately. Instead, I squared my shoulders and asked, “Why are you in here?”He blinked. “I should be asking you the same thing.”“No,” I said, voice firm. “You shouldn’t. Because I do have a reason.”Kian’s jaw tightened. “Emma… you know you’re not supposed to be in this part of the house.”“And neither are you,” I replied coldly. “But here we are.”A moment of heavy silence passed.“I’m leaving now,” I said sharply and turned to go, feeling the weight of his stare boring into my back.“This is suspicious,” Hailey muttered as we moved down the corridor.I did

EMMASelena looked like she wanted to protest—but she didn’t.“Who would have the power to pull that off?” I asked. “The access? The money? The motive?”She didn’t answer.Selena’s eyes dropped to the floor.My blood ran cold.“You’re thinking of someone.”“I’m thinking of too many people,” she said tightly. “You don’t understand how many enemies your father had, Emma. Not all of them wore a suit and smiled at you in boardrooms. Some were buried deep inside the family. Inside E&J.”I swallowed. “Is that why Edward never told me the truth? Because the truth would tear the company apart?”Selena didn’t answer.“I need to know,” I said. “I need everything. Files. Names. Contacts. I’m going to find out who did this. And when I do, I don’t care who falls with them.”Selena studied me for a moment. Then she gave a single nod. “Okay.”“Okay?”“I’ll help you,” she said. “But you have to promise me something.”“What?”“That you don’t go after anyone until you know for sure. Don’t throw accusat

EMMA“You were with him when it happened?” Kian’s voice broke through the silence, low and strained.We were all gathered in the hallway outside Edward’s room. The paramedics had left. The doctors had confirmed what we already knew. Edward Smith, the patriarch of E&J Empire, was gone.Hailey stood by the wall, arms folded across her chest, jaw clenched tight. “Yes,” she answered finally, her voice barely audible. “He collapsed in front of me.”Lucas ran both hands through his hair and leaned back against the opposite wall. “And he said something before he died?”I nodded. “He said it wasn’t Margaret who killed my father.”Silence dropped again. Sylvia shifted uneasily beside Lucas. “What does that mean?” she asked, but there was no curiosity in her voice—only fear.Hailey looked at me then. “Did he say who did?”“No.” My voice cracked. “He never got the chance.”Kian’s eyes were dark, unreadable. “This can’t be real. We just—he was fine yesterday.”“No, he wasn’t,” Hailey cut in. “He’s

EMMA“This is E&J Empire,” Margaret scoffed, rising to her feet, her voice slicing through the room like a blade. “My husband Smith’s company. What the hell are you talking about?” She turned sharply toward Daniel. “Now that he’s dead, you all think you can throw me out like trash?”“Let them finish, Margaret,” I said, my voice calm even though my chest burned with the urge to scream.Her eyes flared with rage. “No. This is wrong from the beginning. Me? Stepping down from my husband’s company? Hell no. Aside from being president, I also hold the largest secret shareholding. You can’t just erase me.”“Are you talking about me?” a crisp, confident voice rang out from the doorway.I turned toward the sound and saw Hailey enter, poised and composed as ever.Margaret blinked, visibly thrown. “What?”“Oh, not me directly,” Hailey replied, her lips curling into a knowing smile. She gestured toward the hallway. “My personal assistant, Fiona?”A woman stepped in—elegant, poised, unreadable. Fi

EMMAGrandfather’s words hit me like a tidal wave. Kian wasn’t part of the Wilson bloodline. Neither was Lucas. The truth of my family was unraveling before my eyes, each new piece of information more incomprehensible than the last.“But… how? How is this possible?” I whispered, my voice barely audible as the weight of the revelation crashed over me.Edward’s frail hand tightened around mine. “It’s all because of Margaret. She killed your mother… She murdered Joel and Smith. She played us all for fools.”My breath caught in my throat. “Margaret… she killed my father?”Edward nodded solemnly, his face a portrait of exhaustion and regret. “Yes. And Lucas isn’t even your brother. He’s Smith’s son, not Joel’s. Kian is… well, he is Smith’s son too. Hailey’s son.”The words didn’t register at first. My mind felt like it was being twisted, turned inside out. “Hailey? But how could—”“Hailey had her reasons,” Edward interrupted, his voice growing weaker but urgent. “She wanted revenge on Marg

EMMAJust as Sylvia was about to lash out, the door to the hospital room opened with a sudden creak, freezing everyone in place. The doctor’s voice was calm but firm. “Who is Miss Emma?”The tension in the room spiked, and for a moment, time seemed to stand still. Hailey, her smile stretched unnervingly wide, pushed me forward, her fingers cold against my arm. “Here she is.”I hesitated but stepped forward, the knot in my stomach tightening. “Yes, me,” I said, trying to keep my voice steady, though the weight of all their eyes on me made it hard to breathe.The doctor didn’t acknowledge the others. “Grandfather wants to speak with you,” he said, turning to me with an air of urgency.Margaret, quick as ever, yanked my arm back with surprising force. “It’s only right I go in first. After all, I’m his daughter in law,” she snapped, her voice cutting through the stillness.“No, he said Miss Emma,” the doctor replied sharply, his eyes narrowing. “I heard him clearly, Mrs. Margaret. I’m not
One Night Stand With My Boss Chapter 46
EMMAI could feel the tension in the air as I looked at Hailey, her expression a mix of feigned innocence and something more… calculating. She had a way of downplaying things, always brushing off suspicions with a light-hearted joke, but something about the way she looked at me now felt off. Her smile was too wide, her eyes too bright. I knew her well enough to recognize when she was hiding something.“Hailey, that joke—” I began, my voice barely more than a whisper, but she quickly cut me off with a dismissive wave.“Oh, Emma, don’t take it so seriously,” she said, her tone light but there was a sharpness beneath it that made me pause. “Margaret and Sylvia are just… they don’t know how to have fun.”I didn’t know whether to trust her words or to feel that nagging sense of unease creeping in. But before I could say anything more, the urge to find Grandfather Edward overpowered all other thoughts. I needed to see him, to make sure he knew I was there, that I belonged, that today was my

EMMA“Are you really leaving?” Sienna asked, her voice barely above a whisper.I nodded, “This is my only chance, since today is Grandfather Edward’s birthday.”“Did he invite you?” Sienna asked.I shook my head quickly, the urgency thick in the air. “No. He doesn’t even know I’m here. But today, he might. Today, I have to make my move, I can’t be chased out because everyone already knows that I am a Wilson.”Sienna’s eyes narrowed, a mix of concern and disbelief crossing her features. “Emma, this is dangerous. You can’t just—”“I don’t have a choice,” I interrupted, the weight of my decision crashing down harder with every passing second. “If I don’t do this now, I might never get another chance.”I turned to face her, my voice low, almost a whisper. “You know what magaret did, right? The things they all did. I’ve waited for years. This—this is for me. For everyone, we can’t continue to be kept in the dark.”Sienna swallowed, her lips trembling as she looked away. “I know. But if you

Selena stared at her phone, watching Emma and Mrs. Hailey leave her office. She waited until they were out of earshot before dialing Kian’s number. The phone rang twice before he answered.“Kian, it’s Selena,” she said, her voice low but urgent.“Selena,” Kian’s voice was tired, distant. “What’s going on?”“Emma came to ask about her mother’s case,” Selena began, her words measured. “She found out the truth, Kian. It was Margaret who did it. She knows everything.”Kian’s breath caught on the other end. A long silence stretched between them. “I never wanted her to find out. I’ve been covering for my mother all this time.”“I know,” Selena said softly. “But now she’s asking for a DNA test. She wants to know the truth.”Kian’s heart sank. “On who?”“Lucas,” Selena answered. “She’s going to test him.”Kian exhaled sharply, his mind racing. “So, she chose Lucas.”“Yes,” Selena said, her voice a little softer. “She’s chosen him over you. This is serious, Kian. If she finds out, she won’t fo
