One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 59. The Game Begins
~Sienna~Lucas’s words still echoed in my mind as I stood there, staring at the door he had stormed through. “You’re not leaving, Sienna. Not until I know you’re safe.”I clenched my fists at my sides, trying to push away the chaos swirling in my chest. I could see the sincerity in his eyes, hear it in his voice. He loved me. I had no doubt about that. But love wasn’t enough—not without trust, not without actions to back it up.I inhaled sharply and turned toward the window, watching the soft glow of the city lights below. I had to focus. This mission was all that mattered now. Lucas would have to prove himself in his own time.A knock at the door pulled me from my thoughts. Derrick entered, his expression calm and composed as usual. “It’s time. Étienne Laurent will be at The Peacock Lounge tonight. That’s where you’ll meet him.”“The Peacock Lounge?” I repeated, quickly taking a sip from Lucas’s leftover wine.“It’s a popular desi club downtown,” Derrick said as we exited the suite.

~Sienna~ Grant’s grip on my wrist was like a steel vice, his fingers digging into my skin as he yanked me toward a dark corner of the club. The crowded dance floor blurred around me, the music pounding like the rapid beat of my heart. “What the hell, Grant? Let me go!” I hissed, struggling against him. My heels skidded on the glossy floor as I fought to keep my balance. He didn’t respond, his smirk twisting into something darker as he pulled me further away from the main area. “Derrick!” I whispered urgently into the mic. “I’m being dragged—get the damn security team! I’m losing Étienne!” Through the earpiece, Derrick’s voice growled, “What the fu*k? Seems like he’s really bent on ruining things for us. Hold tight, Miss Wilde. Rescue is on the way.” I craned my neck, desperately trying to spot Étienne through the throng of people. He was already nearing the VIP section, his white kurta gleaming under the flashing lights. My stomach twisted painfully. “Derrick, I can’t lose him

~Sienna~I straightened, trying to mask my nerves with a small, feigned look of embarrassment. “Oh. Hey, Étienne. Fancy seeing you here.” I tucked a strand of hair behind my ear, pretending to be casual, though my mind raced, searching for the next move.Étienne’s surprise melted into a grin, his perfect teeth flashing. “It’s a small world indeed. First Bellmore, now here?”He bent to retrieve his phone, inspecting the cracked screen with a wince before slipping it into his pocket. “I didn’t realize you frequented places like this.”“I don’t,” I replied quickly, glancing around for added effect. “But I could say the same about you.”He chuckled, the sound deep and warm, somehow putting me slightly at ease.“Touché." He smiled softly.Derrick’s voice crackled softly in my ear, calm but insistent. “Keep it light for now, Miss Wilde. Build rapport.”I gave the faintest nod, brushing my dress as I leaned against a nearby pillar like I wasn’t completely unraveling inside. "I didn’t expect

~Lucas~I stepped into the grand lobby of the Royal Mandarin Hotel, the faint scent of jasmine and polished wood greeting us as we approached the receptionist desk. Sienna walked beside me, her crimson jumpsuit from last night swapped for a sophisticated navy-blue dress that hugged her figure modestly, paired with nude heels. Her hair was swept into a sleek ponytail, exposing the delicate curve of her neck.She looked absolutely breathtaking, her confidence radiating as she moved with grace.My heart fluttered—a feeling I tried to suppress. She wasn’t just beautiful; she was brilliant. Without her, we wouldn’t even have secured this meeting with Étienne Laurent.“Hello, we’re here for a meeting with Mr. Laurent,” Sienna said, flashing the receptionist a bright smile.The receptionist, a young woman with perfectly styled auburn hair tied into a sleek bun, looked up from her desk. “Hello,” she replied her Indian accent unmistakeable “Are you from Weston?”Sienna nodded slightly.“We’v

~Lucas~“Weston,” I said simply, letting the weight of the word settle between us. “Let us handle this project. Not only will we deliver exceptional results, but we’ll also prove why partnering with Weston is the best move for the Laurent Empire.”His gaze lingered on me for a moment before he leaned back in his chair, a slow grin spreading across his face.“You’re good, Jones. I see why Sienna speaks so highly of you.”I suppressed a smile while willing myself not to steal a glance at Sienna.The tension in my chest eased as Étienne continued, leaning back in his chair as studied me. “I’ll talk to my mother about it and get back to you in a few days. Though, convincing her will be very hard considering she’s invested so much into meeting with Rohan. She’s not someone who gives up easily. But I think… this might be worth considering.”I nodded, a confident smile curling my lips.“It is worth considering, and trust me, Mrs. Laurent will appreciate it at the end of the day. Weston del

~Lucas~The warmth of Sienna’s lips still lingered on mine, but the moment shattered when her delicate hand stopped mine mid-motion as it wandered too far up her thigh.“Lucas, that’s okay,” she whispered, her voice soft but steady.Her words said one thing, but her eyes… God, her eyes were screaming how much she wanted this.I swallowed hard and nodded, gently removing my hand from her thigh. But I wasn’t done touching her. Not yet. Instead, I laced my fingers with hers, squeezing her hand softly. Her cheeks flushed instantly, that perfect pink shade spreading across her face.I smiled, unable to help myself. She was still trying to play hard to get. I admired that about her, but she wasn’t fooling me—not entirely.Her attention shifted, darting toward the front seat where Derrick was hunched over his phone, grinning at something like an idiot. Whatever nonsense he was scrolling through had his full attention.“Derrick,” she called, her voice a little louder, snapping him out of wh

~Lucas~The afternoon sunlight spilled through the sheer curtains, bright and unrelenting, as I stirred on the couch. The warmth of the room wrapped around me, but I groaned in irritation, stretching lazily.My body ached from the awkward position, and my neck cracked as I rolled it.Blinking the sleep from my eyes, I turned toward the bed. There she was—Sienna—sitting cross-legged on the plush mattress, her hair slightly tousled from sleep, her phone in hand. She was scrolling absently, her face lit by the glow of the screen.Her eyes flicked up, locking with mine. A small smile tugged at her lips, soft and teasing.“Afternoon, sleepyhead.”I grunted, shoving myself upright. “What time is it?”“Almost three,” she replied, setting her phone aside and leaning back against the headboard.“Great,” I muttered, rubbing the back of my neck.“Half the day’s gone.”“It’s hellishly boring here,” she said, her tone laced with playful exasperation. Her eyes sparkled, a hint of mischief flickerin

~Sienna~The room was quiet, except for the faint hum of the air conditioner. Lucas hadn’t spoken since I asked the question, and the weight of my words hung heavy in the space between us. I shouldn’t have pushed—I could see that now. But it was too late to take it back."Lucas," I said softly, reaching out to touch his hand. His fingers flinched under mine, but he didn’t pull away.“You don’t have to tell me if you don’t want to.”He shook his head, leaning back against the couch and staring at the ceiling as if searching for answers there.The playful, confident Lucas I’d gotten used to was gone. In his place was someone raw, vulnerable, and haunted.“No,” he said finally, his voice low and raspy. “You deserve to know.”I stayed quiet, my heart pounding as he collected his thoughts.“Her name was Lydia,” he began, his gaze fixed on some invisible point across the room. “We met at university in London. She was everything I thought I wanted—smart, ambitious, beautiful. She had this… w

One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 102: Epilogue
~Sienna~The breeze in Bellmore carried a sense of renewal, a symbol of survival after the storm. Lucas had arranged a Thanksgiving ceremony in the grand hall of Weston Corp to celebrate life, family, and the company’s resilience. Everyone was present—his mother Angelina, his sister Lexa, the board of directors, my dad, Hannah, Derrick, and all members of Weston.It was a full-circle moment.Lucas stood at the podium, his voice steady and filled with gratitude.“Today, we’re not just giving thanks for Weston’s survival, but for the people who make it what it is. This company has weathered unimaginable storms, but through faith, perseverance, and love, we are standing here stronger than ever. I thank God for this moment and for the extraordinary people who made it possible.”As the applause echoed, Lucas stepped down, his gaze locking with mine. My heart raced when he took my hand, guiding me to the center of the room.He spoke again, his voice now softer but just as firm.“And there’
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 101. Final War III
~Sienna~ I turned slowly, my heart pounding in my chest. There he was, standing just yards away, his gun still raised, his expression unreadable. His men fanned out behind him, a wall of black suits and cold stares. Lucas immediately stepped in front of me, shielding me with his body. The rigid set of his shoulders told me he was ready to fight to the death if it came to that. “Stay behind me,” Lucas murmured, his voice low and protective. “Lincoln...” I whispered, my voice trembling as I tried to steady my emotions. Lincoln’s eyes narrowed as he took in the scene—the cars, the people, Irena's dead body. His gaze lingered on me for a moment before flicking to Lucas. “You just don’t know when to give up, do you, Jones?” Lincoln said, his lips curling into a bitter smirk. “First, you barge into my mansion, and now you think you can just walk out of here with my sister? Bold of you.” “She’s not your property, Lincoln,” Lucas shot back, his voice steady but full of rage.
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 100. Final War II
[ Next Day— Washington DC]~Sienna~I sat by the window, staring at the sunrise with Madi curled up on my lap, her small arms draped lazily over my waist. I absently rubbed my stomach, my thoughts consumed by Lucas. It had been over a week since I was torn from Bellmore, from him, and every day felt heavier than the last."I hope you’re okay, Lucas," I whispered under my breath, my gaze shifting to my growing belly. I smiled faintly, running my fingers over the slight curve. How happy you’ll be to know I carry your child.The thought brought a glimmer of joy despite everything. According to the scan I did shortly after arriving in Washington, I was three months along. The small swell of my stomach was starting to become visible. I couldn’t help but wonder how Lucas would react—his joy, his smile, the protective way he’d hold me.I glanced at Madi, her ginger hair soft under my touch, but the weight of my worries pulled me back to reality. I had made arrangements be
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 99. Final War I
~Lincoln~Lucas had just left, but the tension he brought with him still clung to the air like a storm that refused to pass. His rage was palpable, and it left a heavy tension in the room.I sat down heavily in my chair, pouring myself another drink, the amber liquid catching the dim light of the room. I swirled it in the glass, thinking about the fire in his eyes, the determination in his voice.He loved her. That much was clear. And she loved him.But I can’t let them be together.Not after what the Jones family did to ours.I tipped back the glass, letting the whiskey burn its way down my throat, but it didn’t drown the guilt clawing at my insides. I hate that I have to do this—tear her away from the man she loves, the father of her unborn child.But I have to.I have no choice.I hate that I’m the villain in her story, the one forcing her into a life she didn’t ask for.Yet I would rather be the villain than watch her suffer the same fate as our parents. She’s in Washington now,
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 98. The Message
~Lucas~“You’re delusional, you can't break us apart," I growled, shaking my head.“You think you’re protecting her, but you’re just using her to justify your own hatred. Sienna deserves better than this.”Lincoln’s eyes glinted dangerously as he stepped forward, the guards around us tensing.“I’ll give you credit for your dedication, Lucas. But love isn’t enough. Not when it comes to my sister.”“She’s not just your sister!” I shot back. “She’s the woman I love, and I’ll fight for her no matter what. You don’t get to decide who she’s with.”“And I’ll fight to make sure she’s not with you,” Lincoln snapped, his composure finally cracking. He tossed the cigar onto the floor and crushed it beneath his heel. I took another step forward, my chest heaving with anger. The tension between us was thick, the air crackling with unspoken threats. “If you don’t hand her over right now, you’ll regret my next action.”Lincoln laughed, the sound sharp and condescending. “Seriously? We both know y
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 97. The Visit
~Lucas~It had been over a week since I last heard Sienna’s voice.A week of restless nights, unanswered questions, and a gnawing emptiness that refused to leave me. I’d looked for her everywhere—called every contact I could think of, chased down every lead—but nothing. It was as if she had vanished off the face of the earth.Derrick stood beside me, flipping through the agenda for the meeting we had arranged with several potential investors. Weston was bleeding, and if I didn’t secure their confidence, the company would collapse within weeks.“You need to focus,” Derrick said, his voice firm but not unkind. “I know your mind’s elsewhere, but this meeting is critical. If we lose more investors, Weston’s done for.”I rubbed the back of my neck, trying to push my thoughts of Sienna to the back of my mind. She would want me to keep fighting—for the company, for everything my family built.The meeting itself was a blur of presentations, numbers, and strategic promises. Derrick took the l
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 96. Prisoner
Two Weeks Later ~Sienna~Two weeks. It had been two weeks of silence, isolation, and confinement. Two weeks since I had seen the outside world.Lincoln had kept me locked in this house, surrounded by opulence but caged like a bird. The maids attended to my every need, but their kindness didn’t stop the loneliness from creeping in like a shadow. They tiptoed around me, avoiding eye contact as if afraid to get too close. And my phone—my only connection to the outside world—had been seized after Lincoln caught me trying to call Lucas.I hadn’t heard from him since.The nurse had just finished checking on me, her clipboard held close to her chest as she observed me silently. I sat on the edge of the bed, fidgeting with my fingers, waiting for her to finish her examination. "Are you done?" I asked, breaking the silence.She hesitated for a moment, then nodded.“Yes, Miss Wilde. I am.”“And?” I pressed, my brows furrowed.“What’s wrong with me? Why have I been fe
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 95. Funeral
A Week Later ~Lucas~ The backyard of the family mansion was shrouded in silence, save for the occasional sniffles and murmurs of mourning. The air was heavy with grief, and the scent of freshly turned earth mingled with the faint perfume of lilies, the flowers Mom and Lexa clutched tightly in their hands. Dressed in black, they stood by my father’s grave, their faces streaked with tears. Mom’s usually confident demeanor was gone, replaced by raw, unfiltered heartbreak. Lexa stood beside her, her arm around her shoulders, trying to keep it together, but the tears kept falling. The ceremony had been short and somber. Friends and associates of the Jones family had gathered to pay their respects, but as the sun began to set, they trickled away one by one. Now, it was just the three of us. Mom gently placed a bouquet of white lilies on the grave, her fingers trembling. “Goodbye, Richard,” she whispered, her voice breaking. Lexa sobbed softly, brushing
One Night Stand With My Cocky Boss 94. Last Moment
~Lucas~The hospital room was cold and sterile, its fluorescent lights casting an unnatural glow over everything. The quiet hum of the machines monitoring my father’s fragile heartbeat was the only sound in the room, their rhythm a cruel reminder of how fragile his life had become. I sat slumped in the chair beside his bed, my elbows resting on my knees, my head in my hands.I hadn’t slept all night, too afraid to close my eyes. His breathing had grown weaker with each passing hour, and the thought of losing him—of hearing that final, shuddering breath—terrified me.Dad’s frail frame looked so small against the white sheets, a ghost of the man he once was. This was the man who had commanded boardrooms, who had stood tall and proud as the CEO of Weston Corp.But now, his skin was ashen, his once piercing eyes dull and unfocused.I rested my head against the edge of the bed, trying to process the whirlwind of emotions that had consumed me since yesterday. The chaos of the anniversary r
