All Chapters of ONE NIGHT WITH A STRANGER: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

MADISON and Jane were sitting at a small round table, sipping coffee during their lunch break. The clacking of keyboards and muffled office chatter could still be heard in the background. Madison was typing furiously on her laptop, a determined look on her face, while Jane leaned back in her chair, watching her friend in amusement."Madison, ang bilis mo namang tapusin ang document mo," Jane teased, swirling her coffee mug.Madison barely looked up from her screen. "Eh kasi, kailangan kong matapos agad. May importanteng gagawin pa ako later."Jane raised a brow, intrigued. "Hmm, ano 'yan? Spill the tea!"A small smile played on Madison’s lips. She finally hit save and closed her laptop. "Actually, oo. Anniversary namin ni Leo today—three years, girl! Kaya kailangan kong matapos lahat para walang sagabal mamaya."Jane let out a low whistle, leaning closer. "Three years na kayo? Sana all consistent. Pero, wait lang ha, honest question: hindi ba nagtatampo si Leo? Alam mo na, workaholic

PAGKALABAS nila ng bar, ipinalibot ng lalaki ang braso sa bewang niya at hinapit siya palapit dito habang naglalakad."So, what should I call you?" He asked while drawing circle on her waist using her thumb.Damn! It's turning her on.Lumunok muna siya bago sumagot. "Madison. Call me, Madison.""Hmm... Madison... Nice name." He whispered over her ear; it gives her Goosebumps."How about you? What should I call you?""My name is Sebastian Sanford, call me Sebastian."Pagkasabi niyon ay iginiya siya nito patungo sa isang SUV na kulay itim. Hindi pa siya nakakasakay, isinandal siya nito sa pintuan ng kotse at siniil siya nito ng mainit na halik na agad na nagpa-init sa katawan niya.Umungol siya ng lumapat ang kamay nito sa dibdib niya at pinisil iyon. Napahawak siya sa matitipuno nitong braso ng bumaba ang isa nitong kamay sa pagitan ng hita niya."Sebastian..." She moaned his name when he lightly slides his hand on her womanhood against the fabric of her jeans."Yes, Madison?" He breat

Madison was still reeling from the unexpected encounter with Sebastian in the boardroom earlier that morning. Even after hours of paperwork, back-to-back calls, and a tedious client report, she couldn’t shake the feeling of unease—and that stupid, lingering heat that spread over her skin whenever she remembered the way his eyes lingered just a moment too long."Earth to Madison," Des’s voice cut through the fog in her head. She was leaning against Madison’s cubicle, one brow raised and a paper cup of coffee in hand. "You’ve been spacing out for like five minutes. Spill."Madison blinked, cheeks flushing. “Huh? Spacing out? Hindi naman.”“Oh, come on. I saw you walking out of the executive boardroom kaninang umaga. You looked like you just survived a hurricane.”“Des, please,” she said in a hushed voice, glancing around. “Lower your voice.”Des leaned in, eyes gleaming. “Don’t tell me... it was him?”Madison sighed, slumping into her chair. “It’s him.”Des’s mouth dropped open dramatic

It was a slow build, that shift. Neither Madison nor Sebastian rushed into anything, but the air between them had undeniably changed. The professional barriers they had clung to so tightly began to feel more like a formality than something they needed. When they got back from Tagaytay, their interactions had a new depth.At work, they still maintained their roles, the CEO and his employee. The meetings, the projects, the tasks—they didn’t change. But when their eyes met across the conference table or when they passed each other in the hall, there was something unspoken, something that seemed to vibrate just beneath the surface.Madison found herself thinking about him more than she wanted to admit. She had always been someone who kept her emotions in check, someone who could compartmentalize and push aside anything that threatened to interfere with her career. But this? This was different. Every time her phone buzzed with a message from Sebastian, her heart raced in a way she hadn’t e

The weeks that followed felt like a slow burn. The tension between Madison and Sebastian simmered under the surface—never quite breaking, but always present. Their interactions were a mix of professional distance and something far more intimate, something Madison wasn’t sure how to navigate.Every glance they shared felt loaded, as though every smile was a silent admission of the chemistry they couldn’t ignore. But in the office, they maintained their professional personas. When the day was over, Madison would leave with the weight of their unspoken words following her, but she never reached out first. She couldn’t—she was still trying to figure out what all of it meant.One Evening at the OfficeIt was a Thursday evening when Madison found herself staying late at the office, going over the new project briefs for the upcoming quarter. The office was quieter than usual, with most people having already gone home for the day.She ran her fingers through her hair, trying to stay focused a
