One Night Stand With My Boss Chapter 25
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

EMMAKian was still gripping the phone when he pulled into a parking lot. I barely registered where we were until I glanced up and saw the dimly lit sign of a coffee shop. The air inside the car was suffocating, thick with words neither of us dared to say.“Kian,” Sylvia’s voice rang through the speaker again. “Did you hear what I said?”Kian’s hand tightened around the wheel, his knuckles turning white. His lips parted, but no words came out.“I’m pregnant,” Sylvia repeated, her tone sickeningly sweet.I turned my face away, staring blankly at the glass window. Pregnant. The word echoed in my head, slashing through me like a dull, rusted knife. It was supposed to be me.I swallowed hard, forcing my expression into something unreadable. If I let my emotions show, I would break.“Kian?” Sylvia’s voice was sharper now, impatient.“I heard you.” His tone was emotionless.“Oh,” she said, giggling. “I was hoping for a little more excitement. After all, this is our baby we’re talking about.

“Where is Sienna now?” The voice on the phone was sharp, commanding.Sienna glanced toward me before stepping outside, lowering her voice. “She remembered everything, ma’am.”A pause. Then, the voice spoke again, slower this time. “You need to keep Lucas away from her. Do you understand?”Before Sienna could respond, my voice cut through the silence from behind her. “Are you not coming? We’re leaving already.”She turned abruptly, finding me standing in the doorway, watching her.Her expression shifted instantly. “I’ll be in the car right now.” She hung up and walked past me, her usual confidence forced.Lucas drove us home in tense silence. My mind was still spinning. My mother didn’t just die—she was murdered. And Sylvia… she knew.The second we reached the mansion, I stepped out, my body still trembling with the weight of my memories. Lucas lingered, watching me carefully.“You shouldn’t be around Kian anymore,” he said after a beat. “Now that he’s going to be a father.”A hollow l

Sienna tilted her head slightly, watching Margaret with sharp eyes. “Mrs. Margaret, I’ll do a great job. Just don’t forget my pay.”Margaret smirked, adjusting the pearl necklace around her neck. “Of course, dear. Do what needs to be done, and you’ll be rewarded handsomely.”Without another word, Margaret turned and walked away, her heels clicking against the cold marble floors. Sienna let out a slow breath and followed behind at a distance, her mind racing.When Margaret reached the Wilson mansion, the house was eerily quiet. Only a few maids roamed around, barely paying attention to her. She paused at the hallway, peering into Grandfather Edward’s study.The door was slightly open.Margaret’s brows furrowed as she heard voices. Slowly, she stepped closer, listening carefully.“You won’t tell her?” Grandfather Edward’s voice was firm, yet burdened.The second voice was softer but held equal weight. “I owe her a lot, Edward. Margaret killed her mother, and everything I own today shoul

Margaret raised her glass, her lips curling into a smug smile. “Let’s celebrate.”Lucas, leaning back in his chair, arched a brow. “What exactly are we celebrating, Mom?”Margaret’s gaze flickered to her phone, the words It’s done still fresh on the screen. She took a slow sip of her wine before answering. “Victory.”Before anyone could question her further, the heavy oak doors to the dining room flung open with a loud bang. A gust of cold air rushed in as a uniformed officer stepped inside, his expression grave.Margaret stiffened, her fingers tightening around the stem of her glass. She quickly masked her fear, shifting her eyes toward Grandfather Edward. He would handle this. He always did.The officer cleared his throat. “Mr. Edward Wilson?”Edward, who had barely looked up from his meal until now, set his utensils down and turned to face the officer with calm authority. “Yes?”The air in the room felt thick. Even Sylvia, who usually had something snide to say, remained silent.Th

Mark’s grip on the desk tightened as he stared at Kian. “You’re telling me you won’t even run a DNA test?”Kian exhaled sharply. “It’s not important anymore. The picture is enough.”Mark’s jaw clenched. “That’s bullshit, and you know it.”Kian’s lips curled into a bitter smile. “Even if I took the test, would it change anything?”Mark scoffed. “Yeah, it would. Maybe it would prove that Margaret is lying. Maybe it would prove you’re not a complete fucking coward for believing everything she tells you.”Kian’s eyes darkened. “Watch it, Mark.”Mark shook his head. “No. You watch it. Because Emma’s out there, alone, thinking the man she loved just erased their entire history with one damn photo.”Kian stiffened.Mark’s voice dropped. “Do you know what you did to her?”Kian looked away.Mark’s hands slammed onto the desk. “Look at me, Kian.”Kian’s fingers curled into fists, but he lifted his gaze.“She lost everything,” Mark said, his voice laced with quiet fury. “Her child. Her love. Her

EMMA“Emma,” she sighed, stepping closer. “Margaret already knows this. And if she hasn’t acted yet, she will soon. You have something she wants—control. If you don’t fight back, she will take it from you.”I hugged myself, my nails digging into my skin.“I have the password,” I muttered. “And I changed it.”Hailey smiled. “Good. But do you really think that will stop her?”My stomach twisted.“She will forcefully get it from you,” Hailey continued. “Or worse, she will take someone you care about and make you talk.”A shiver ran down my spine.“Emma,” Hailey’s voice softened. “To survive, you have to be heartless. If not for yourself, do it for those who lost their lives trying to tell you the truth. Mrs. Kim. Your mother. Don’t let their deaths be in vain.”I inhaled sharply, trying to steady myself.“You have my number,” Hailey said, stepping back toward her car. “Call me when you’re ready.”She slid into the black vehicle and drove off, leaving me standing in the blistering heat, m

EMMALucas pulled the car to a stop in front of Sienna’s house. The silence between us stretched, thick with everything we had just discovered.For a long moment, neither of us moved. Then, Lucas exhaled, rubbing his temple before stepping out of the car. He walked around, opened my door, and held out his hand.I hesitated before placing my hand in his. His grip was firm, steady, grounding me in a way I hadn’t even realized I needed.“I’m sorry this had to happen,” he said, his voice low.I forced a small smile. “Lucas, your mother was right. You shouldn’t even associate with me. We’re half-siblings. We’ve all crossed the line, but it wasn’t our fault. It was the family’s mistake, not ours. We shouldn’t be enemies.”Something flickered in his eyes. Relief? Guilt? I wasn’t sure.“Thank you,” he said softly. Then, after a pause, “Since we’re family, why don’t you move back in?”I let out a breathy chuckle, shaking my head. “No, thank you. I’m okay.” Then I frowned. “I haven’t seen Grand

EMMASilence.A thick, suffocating silence that made my skin crawl.Lucas swore under his breath and turned on his heel. “I need to get the fuck out of here.”Margaret exhaled, brushing invisible dust off her sleeve. “Now you all understand why I kept pushing her away.”Something snapped inside Kian.He lunged forward, flipping over a chair so violently it crashed against the floor, wood splintering.Margaret finally looked at him.Kian’s entire body was shaking. “You knew. And you sat there, playing games with us. You let us destroy ourselves.”Margaret sighed. “Better you find out now than when it’s too late.”“Too late?” I laughed bitterly, my hands trembling. “Too late? What the fuck do you think has been happening? We’ve already crossed the line! There is no fixing this!”Margaret’s lips curled into a knowing smile. “You really want to know why I did all this?”Something about her tone made my stomach turn.I took a shaky breath. “Just say it.”Margaret lifted her teacup again, t

EMMAMy breath hitched.He turned toward me, his expression raw, vulnerable. “I don’t give a fuck about anything else. But this? If this is true…” His throat bobbed, his hands flexing. “Then what the hell are we supposed to do?”I had no answer.I could only stare at him, my own heart breaking at the sight of him unraveling in front of me.Kian never broke. He was always controlled, always in charge. But now, sitting in this car with me, he looked… lost.And it destroyed me.I sucked in a sharp breath. “We need to find out the truth.”His eyes darkened. “And if it’s true?”I hesitated. “Then we end this.”Kian’s entire body tensed.He looked at me like I had just stabbed him straight in the chest. Like I had ripped his heart out and crushed it in my hands.Then, without a word, he put the car in drive.And we sped off toward the Wilson mansion.WILSON MANSIONThe moment Kian slammed the car door shut, the entire household seemed to tense.The butler hesitated before bowing slightly. “

EMMAMy heart stopped.Everything blurred. My knees buckled, and before I could hit the ground, strong arms caught me.Kian.I wasn’t unconscious—I could still hear, still feel. But my body refused to move. My breath came in shallow gasps, my fingers gripping his shirt like it was the only thing keeping me from falling apart.He lifted me effortlessly, holding me close. I felt how tense he was, the way his muscles locked, like he was barely holding himself together.Behind us, Sylvia scoffed. “Oh, please. She’s being dramatic.”Rage sparked in me, but before I could react, Kian’s voice cut through the air, sharp as a blade.“Shut up, Sylvia. Get the hell out of here.”His tone was so lethal that even she took a step back.Her eyes widened. “Kian—”Kian’s gaze turned to her in anger. “If you can’t help, then get out of my sight.” Sylvia’s expression twisted with fury. “I’m pregnant, Kian! Stop yelling at me!”Her voice rang through the mansion, but Kian didn’t even flinch. His grip on

EMMA“Margaret, stay away from my friend Sienna.” My voice was even, but my hands were shaking.Margaret smirked. “Your friend who betrayed you?” Her tone dripped with mockery. “Your friend who told me all your secrets? Or did you think I just magically found out?”I stiffened.Margaret stepped closer, lowering her voice to a whisper. “How do you think I knew about your trauma? About your leukemia? You’re dying, Emma. And your precious friend Sienna made sure of it.”My heart pounded.Margaret let out a slow, satisfied chuckle. “Your medication was switched, dear. Replaced by your darling friend. And yet, you still trust her?”My breath caught in my throat.I turned to Sienna, searching for any sign that Margaret was lying. But Sienna wouldn’t meet my eyes.“Margaret, you killed my mother.” My voice came out in a whisper.Margaret tilted her head, feigning innocence. “Did I?”I clenched my fists. “Stop playing games.”She smiled. “Fine even if you knew I killed your mother you can nev

Edward’s words sliced through the air like a blade.“If I ever find out you had anything to do with Mrs. Kim’s death, I will send you to jail myself.”Then, without another word, he turned and walked out, leaving Margaret standing there, frozen.Her fingers clenched around the black envelope, her pulse hammering against her skin.He knew.He knew about Emma’s mother.He knew about Sienna.And now, he was watching her.Margaret’s throat tightened as she turned on her heels, storming out of Edward’s study. Her heels clicked against the marble floor, but her mind was a chaotic mess.She needed to think.She needed to fix this.Margaret slammed the door shut behind her and immediately started pacing.“No. No, no, no. This isn’t happening,” she muttered under her breath.Her hands trembled as she reached for her glass of wine, gulping it down in one desperate sip. But even the warmth of the alcohol couldn’t steady her.“Emma survived.”She had seen the reports herself. Emma was supposed to
