My ThesShit

One Night With My Billionaire Boss

Nathaniel Stone

I woke up on silk sheets that smelled of expensive cedar and cold sandalwood, a world away from my cramped apartment in Brooklyn. Beside me lay Ezra Gardner—my boss, the billionaire CEO of Gardner Holdings, and the man who could end my career with a snap of his fingers. He didn’t offer an apology for the night before; instead, he looked at me with terrifying clarity and proposed a cold, calculated business arrangement. "Marriage. It stabilizes the board and solves the PR crisis before it begins." He dressed me in archival Chanel and sent me home in his Maybach, but my life was already falling apart. My boyfriend, Irving, claimed he had passed out early, yet his location data placed him at my best friend’s apartment until three in the morning. When I tried to run, I realized Ezra was already ten steps ahead, tracking my movements and uncovering the secret I’d spent twenty years hiding: my connection to the powerful Senator Grimes. I was trapped between a CEO who treated me like a line item on a quarterly report and a boyfriend who had been using me while sleeping with my closest friend. I felt like a pawn in a game I didn't understand, wondering why a man like Ezra would walk up forty flights of stairs on a broken leg just to make sure I was safe. "Showtime, Mrs. Gardner." Standing on the red carpet in a gown that cost more than my life, I watched my cheating ex-boyfriend’s face turn pale as Ezra claimed me in front of the world. I wasn't just an assistant anymore; I was a weapon, and it was time to burn their world down.

AYANA'S POV

Crazy bad!

I won't lie that today is the worst day of my life. I don't know what kind of mistake I made when God punished me this badly. I'm so upset, I swear!

I'll tell you one by one about my bad luck today, which I think is really excessive. In my opinion, there is not a single day that is more annoying than today. Fon't tell me I'm exaggerating!

First, let me introduce myself. You can call me Ayana. And now it's time for me to tell you about the problems that came like a bomb. By the way, it's Tuesday.

My first problem is that I'm late for school. Maybe this is too cliché. But believe me, I didn't wake up late. This is all because of the traffic jam this morning. But that's not too bad, and it's understandable.

Let's move on to my second problem.

Because I came to school late, I got punished for sweeping the backyard. Oh my gosh, is it really bad? The yard has a lot of dry leaves. Remember, I'm a student, not a school cleaner. It's really annoying to be reminded of this.

My problems didn't stop there, and my third problem made me feel like my head was going to burst. How could I not be upset? I arrived late, and then I was told to clean up the yard with garbage that was probably equal to my sins, and then I added this. It's really bad luck today. Do you want to know what it is?

I forgot that today is the last day to submit the practicum assignment that was given two weeks ago by my teacher. Damn it, where last night I even played my phone. My life is really bad. Being a rock seems better, I can relax all the time.

Okay, I think I have to take a breath first.

Next, jump to my fourth problem. All my life, when it comes to pocket money, I won't forget to put it in my bag or wallet. But this time, I completely forgot to bring it and left it on the kitchen table. Oh my! I'll just wait for whoever it is. How unlucky my life is!

How terrible is my problem today? Already arrived late, then punished for sweeping, suddenly there was a teacher's assignment from two weeks ago and I stupidly forgot, then added my pocket money was left behind?

Can I shout loudly? Can I? Okay, I'll shout.

HOLY SHIT!

Okay, I'm pretty relieved now.

And my only wish at that time was that it would rain money so I could eat at the cafeteria with my friends. I wanted to borrow from them, but I was embarrassed. My friends must also have a small allowance, right?

Don't think my bad luck stops there. No, there's more. And this is my last problem today, but the problem that I think is the worst can't be ignored.

You want to know what it is?

So here it is, coming home from school. I was surprised by my mom's statement that soon I would be engaged to a doctor.

Yes, the doctor who treats sick people. Ah, my misery is complete today. I'm actually still confused. What is the purpose of my mom setting me up with that man?

I don't have any plans to get married in the near future! I still want to be free, like my friends. The doctor looks much older than me again.

And what exactly was my mom thinking?
