One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 23. Lincoln Bell
~Sienna~ The tension wrapped around us like a live wire. Lucas’s arm was wrapped protectively around my waist, and I could feel his grip tighten as he squared off against Lincoln Bell. The air between them was thick, sharp, and electric. This wasn’t just corporate rivalry—it was deeply personal. “Good to see you here, Mr. Lincoln Bell,” Lucas’s voice cut through the noise, his tone sharp enough to slice glass. “Though it would be better if you weren’t so focused on my date.” Lincoln’s eyes flicked to where Lucas’s hand gripped my waist, a slow smirk spreading across his face as if amused by Lucas’s attempt at dominance. “Well, Mr. Jones, with a stunning woman like this, I can hardly be blamed, can I?” His tone was smooth, laced with challenge, and I felt my pulse quicken as he looked me over, as if sizing me up. I fought the urge to roll my eyes, feeling like a pawn between two powerful men. I’d known about their rivalry, but after the debacle last week, it had become an all-out

~Sienna~ Lucas and I had left the gala in silence yesterday, and the chill of it lingered around us like an unseen force. We still hadn’t spoken, and now I was stuck wondering how I’d ever break through his defenses again. This morning, I could hardly look at him at breakfast. He was like a storm cloud in that hoodie, brooding and sharp, refusing to even glance my way. And sure, I wanted to sort things out, but there was another more pressing matter—the promise of daily payments, none of which had shown up in my account. By noon, I gathered enough courage to confront him, finding him by the pool, basking in the summer sun like he owned not only the villa but also the sky, the weather, and maybe even the entire universe. He was sprawled back, one arm lazily stretched along the pool's edge, the other resting as he casually sipped on a glass of some iced drink that sparkled as much as he seemed to think he did. “Lucas!” I called out, trying to keep my tone even, but the way he barel

~Sienna~ By the time I made it to Weston Corp, my nerves were already frazzled from Lucas’s antics. My feet ached from rushing down the uneven pavement in heels clearly not meant for power-walking, and my blouse clung uncomfortably to my back. The day could only improve from here—or so I thought. As I pushed open the glass doors to the main office, I was greeted by the familiar hum of employees rushing around with files, answering phones, and typing furiously. The sleek black-and-white interior gleamed under the soft overhead lights, a hallmark of Weston’s aesthetic. But there was an unfamiliar tension in the air, a feeling that everyone was on edge. When I reached the design department, it became clear why. A tall woman stood at the front of the room, clipboard in hand, her eyes scanning the room like a hawk circling its prey. Her jet-black hair was slicked back into a severe bun, and she wore a dark green power suit that somehow looked even more imposing than Lucas’s usual en

~Sienna~ The glossy photos trembled slightly in my hands as I flipped through them. Each one told a story I wasn’t ready to face. There was a picture of Lucas and me at the hospital—his hand gripping mine firmly. Another of us standing outside my apartment, his face close to mine, caught in an intimate moment. Then the gym—his arm possessively around my waist. My stomach churned as I reached the last few. At the gala, Lucas and I walking hand-in-hand down the red carpet. The flash of cameras illuminated his stern profile, while my veil obscured most of my face. How? How did someone get these? I shuffled through them again, my heart pounding harder with every image. Whoever had taken these pictures had been following us from the very beginning. The earliest ones dated back to the day I’d announced my engagement to Lucas. This wasn’t a coincidence. Whoever this was had been close enough to capture moments no outsider should’ve seen. Someone who knew where Lucas lived. Someone who

~Lucas~ The night was dragging, and I didn’t mind dragging Sienna along with it. She needed a reminder that her antics over the weekend weren’t going to go unnoticed—or unpunished. Sending her out at 10 PM for something as simple as a suit? Perfect. Watching her scowl, yell, and stomp her feet like an angry toddler was entertaining enough to justify the effort. The hurt Sienna had inflicted on me over the weekend gnawed at me. I couldn’t forget that twisted smile on Lincoln Bell’s smug, arrogant face and the way she was grinning foolishly with him. And the fact that I had let my guard down for Sienna hurt even more. I thought she was going to be different. After five years of being single, I was finally recovering from the wounds my ex left behind, but she had managed to reopen them with her stupidity. I scoffed loudly, slamming the report on my desk with more force than necessary. The thought of everything grated my nerves. Derrick, on the other hand, was less amused. He sat acr

~Sienna~ I woke to rough hands gripping my arms, dragging me through a dimly lit passage. My head throbbed, my vision blurred, and the faint scent of alcohol, stale smoke, and something metallic filled the air. I couldn't remember how I got here. The last thing I recalled was being yanked into that jeep—then nothing. They must have drugged me. The men holding me weren’t gentle. The one on my left had fingers like iron clamps, his grip bruising as he yanked me forward. He was tall and stocky, with a shaved head that reflected the dim light above. The faint smell of cheap cologne and sweat clung to him, making my stomach churn. The man on my right wasn’t much better. He had a wiry build but moved with a quiet, predatory grace that unnerved me. His sharp jaw was dusted with stubble, and the scar running from his eyebrow to his cheek gave him a permanently hostile expression. “Let go of me!” I screamed, thrashing against their hold, but it was like fighting steel. “Stop squirming,” g

~Sienna~ My breath hitched as my gaze locked on the man before me. My mind scrambled to make sense of it all, but there he stood, a vision of poise and power, his tailored black suit fitting him like a second skin. The neon lights from the club’s hallway spilled in behind him, giving him an almost otherworldly aura. He was both ethereal and menacing, an aura of danger clinging to him like smoke. I couldn’t speak, couldn’t move, as the weight of recognition crushed me. “Lincoln?” The name slipped from my lips, barely a whisper, but it felt like it shattered the suffocating silence in the room. His eyes met mine, calm yet calculating, and for a moment, I thought I saw a flicker of something—concern? Amusement?—before his expression hardened into one of absolute control. “Sienna,” he said smoothly, as though savoring the sound of my name. “What a surprise.” A surprise? I wanted to scream. Nothing about this felt like a coincidence. “You’re the Don?” My voice was hoarse, the disbel

~Sienna~ Lincoln’s voice was smooth, almost hypnotic, as he leaned back in his chair, the dim light catching the sharp angles of his face. He swirled the wine in his glass, his gaze locked on me—unwavering and heavy. “I want you to be mine in all ramifications,” he said, his tone final, as though the decision had already been made. “You’ll leave Weston and come to my company. They don’t recognize your worth. Let me elevate you.” I swallowed hard, the weight of his words sinking in. “I don’t know whatever secret is between you and Lucas Jones,” Lincoln continued, his voice dropping an octave. “I had my boys dig into it, but it turns out he’s so secretive they didn’t find a thing.” I stiffened, my heart pounding in my chest. This was going somewhere I didn’t want it to. “Whatever deal is between the two of you, I’ll settle it.” His lips curled into a confident smirk, as though this was nothing but a business negotiation to him. “Just be mine.” The audacity of it left me speechl

One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 85. Ready For War
~Lucas~I arrived at the mansion as fast as I could, everywhere quieter than usual.The staff moved about in hushed tones, their usual chatter replaced by an uneasy silence. The air felt heavier today, pressing down on me as I made my way to my father’s study.When I opened the door, I found him seated in his favorite armchair by the window. A blanket was draped over his lap, its edges trailing onto the titled floor, and a leather-bound book rested in his hands.The room smelled faintly of aged paper and the faintest hint of cologne, though weaker than usual. He looked frailer than I remembered, his pale skin almost translucent in the gray light streaming through the curtains.His hands trembled slightly as he turned the page, the movement so subtle and weak.I froze in the doorway. He’s not supposed to look this sick, I thought, my stomach twisting into a knot.It’s only been three months since his diagnosis—three months into the six months timeline we’d been given—and yet he looked
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 84. Family Feud
~Lucas~"Fuckk!" I yelled, slamming my fist against the dashboard with all the fury I could muster, as I watched the car roar to life and sped off, taking away Lydia and Harper.They were gone. Clarke's plan had worked.I should have seen it coming. This was all part of her scheme, a well-executed move, and I had walked right into it. I chuckled darkly, my body trembling with anger."Nice one Clarke... How dare she?" The words escaped my lips before I could even process them."Lucas, take it easy, okay? We should return and plan a better comeback. We can't let them win," Sienna said, her voice calm yet firm."I know, Sienna," I muttered, but the frustration in my chest threatened to spill over. "But I don’t want to involve you in my family feud again. I want you to lay low and focus on work, okay? I don’t want you getting kidnapped or something."She didn’t look convinced, but I saw the slight nod she gave, the way her jaw tightened with determination."Alright, Lucas," she replied,
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 83. Too Late
~Sienna~I ignored her and turned to Lucas who's already in his way out of the hospital, his steps unsteady, his body slumped like the weight of the world was pressing down on him.I rushed after him, catching up as he staggered toward the car.“Lucas,” I said softly, wrapping an arm around his to steady him.We climbed into the car, and I settled into the driver’s seat, my hands shaking as I gripped the steering wheel. “Where to?” I asked softly, my voice cutting through the heavy silence as I turned the key in the ignition.Lucas didn’t answer. He just stared out the window, his gaze unfocused, lost somewhere far . His demeanor, usually so sharp and composed, was now weighed down by exhaustion and grief.I swallowed hard, glancing at him again, hoping for a sign, a word, anything. But he stayed quiet, his hands limp in his lap, his shoulders slouched like the weight of the world had settled there and refused to leave.Unsure of where to go, I began driving, the hum of the car engi
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 82. A Deadly Promise
~Sienna~Lucas’s words lingered in the air like a thunderclap, reverberating in the suffocating silence of the waiting room.I stared at him, my heart twisting painfully at the sight of the man I thought was unbreakable—crumbling right before my eyes.His broad shoulders slumped, and his hands trembled as they raked through his disheveled hair. His breaths came shallow and uneven, as if he couldn’t catch air, no matter how hard he tried. This wasn’t the Lucas I knew—the confident, commanding man who always seemed in control. This was someone broken, someone stripped bare of the armor he always wore.I glanced at Lydia. She stood frozen at first, but then her knees buckled, and she sank to the cold, tiled floor.Her face was ghostly pale, her lips trembling as though she wanted to speak but couldn’t find the courage. Guilt poured off her in waves, thick and suffocating, filling the room like a tangible presence.She deceived him.A sickening wave of anger and disbelief rolled through
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 81. The Truth
~Sienna~“We need to get her to the hospital,” Lucas said urgently, his voice shaking as he scooped her up in his arms.“I’ll drive,” I said immediately, my own fear pushing me into action.Lucas was already running toward the car, his steps frantic and uneven as Harper’s tiny frame lay limp against his chest. Lydia trailed behind us, her hands shaking and her face as pale as a ghost.As we reached Lucas’s car, he froze, fumbling awkwardly with one hand as he tried to dig into his pocket for the keys while still holding Harper tightly. His breathing was erratic, and his movements were clumsy, his fear and desperation evident.“Damn it!” he growled, his voice breaking as he finally pulled the key out and thrust it toward me. “Here—take it!”I grabbed the key from his trembling hand, my fingers brushing his for a brief second. “Get in the car,” I said quickly, my voice steady despite the panic coursing through me.Lucas didn’t hesitate. He rushed to the passenger side, cradling Harper c
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 80. Harper
~Sienna~The elevator doors slid open, and my breath caught in my throat. Standing in front of me, looking just as smug and menacing as the last time I saw her, was Lydia.Her fiery red heels tapped against the floor impatiently, and her sharp gaze zeroed in on me like a predator cornering its prey.But it wasn’t just her.Behind her stood her daughter— Lucas's daughter, clutching a stuffed bunny to her chest. The little girl’s wide, curious eyes darted between me and her mother. My stomach twisted painfully at the sight of her, a wave of unease washing over me.What is she doing here? And why would she bring her child?The questions raced through my mind, but I didn’t have time to process them. Lydia’s lips curled into a sly smile, her expression smug as she took a step forward, effectively blocking the elevator doors from closing.“Sienna,” she said, her voice dripping with condescension. “We need to talk.”I stiffened, every muscle in my body tensing. “I don’t think we have anyt
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 79. Princess
~Sienna~“What? The hell?” I stared at the screen, my thumb hovering over the phone as my heart thudded in my chest. A cold shiver ran down my spine.Big brother?What is the meaning of this? I couldn’t stop my fingers from trembling as I typed the question again, my mind reeling.Me: What do you mean by that?The screen blinked once, twice, and then the phone pinged again. My hand trembled as I read the message, a strange cocktail of disbelief and joy swirling in my chest as the message sank in.Unknown number: Aren't you looking for your real family? Well, here I am. I'm your biological brother. I'll come for you when the time is right, but for now, take charge and stop being weak. Those people are beneath you, princess.My breath caught in my throat, and my jaw went slack. I couldn't process the words. The phone nearly slipped from my hand as I stared at the screen in shock.Princess?I blinked rapidly, trying to make sense of it.Me? A princess?My mind raced.Who was this person?
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 78. Dear Sister
~Sienna~The rain came down in torrents, the steady drumming on the car roof muffling the silence between us. My clothes clung to my skin, cold and heavy, and the faint scent of Grant’s cologne lingered in the jacket draped over my shoulders.It made me feel trapped, like I was suffocating under the weight of everything—Lucas, Lydia, and now… Grant. Lucas. I closed my eyes briefly, the memory of that night flashing vividly in my mind. The little girl tugging at his pants, calling him “Daddy.” The helpless look in his eyes. The woman standing there, too smug, too comfortable in the home I thought was mine to share with him. It had been days since then, and yet the pain hadn’t lessened. If anything, it had burrowed deeper, each unanswered question festering like a wound. Why didn’t you tell me?Why does it feel like I never really knew you at all?I pulled the jacket tighter, despite myself, the chill in my bones refusing to fade. My fingers trembled as I rested them on my lap, and
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 77. Rainy Days
~Grant~Derrick shot up from his chair, his fists slamming onto the desk, the sound echoing sharply through the room.“You bastard,” he hissed.“If you dare lay a finger on her—”I held up a hand, cutting him off.“Relax, Derrick. No one’s going to hurt her. Unless, of course, you refuse to cooperate.”His chest heaved as he glared at me, pure rage burning in his eyes.“You’re bluffing,” he said, his voice wavering slightly.I reached for my phone, tapping on the screen before holding it up for him to see. It was a live photo feed of Hannah, sitting outside an ice cream shop, a pink cone in her hand.“Still think I’m bluffing?” I asked, my tone icy.Derrick’s face paled, and he fumbled for his own phone, quickly dialing Hannah’s number.“Hello?” her cheerful voice answered, loud from the speaker.“Hannah,” Derrick said urgently, his voice trembling just slightly.“Where are you right now?”“At the ice cream shop,” she replied, her voice confused. “Why?”“What are you wearing? Are you
