Twilight Skies

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.

KIRA'S POV

" HEY YOU. OVER THERE. FAT GIRL." A blonde haired boy walked over to me. It was my second day of school in Foxville Middle School.

" Give me your food."

I noticed the boy was not one of my classmates. He looked older than other kids in my class. I assumed he was one year older than me.

I gave him my lunch.

" Eww. What is this?"

He threw my lunch box on the ground and my bread flew out of my lunch box. My heart was broken. I thought I was trying to be nice to him and gave him my lunch since he wanted my lunch.

He pushed me and I fell down on the ground and I fell on my back.

" Next time come with proper lunch. You eat weird things." I had bread with cheese and Doritos chips. What's weird about that?

He walked away and left me on the ground.

" Hey. Are you okay?"

" Leave me alone." I didn't bother check who was in front of me. I knew it was a boy but who, I didn't know and didn't care. I just wanted to be alone.

" Hey. I'm Noah." He held his hand in front of me. I lifted up my head and my eyes met his blue ones. My hand met his.

" I'm Kira." He helped me get up and he gave me his lunch.

As days went by, I started to know the boy who would usually bully Noah and I. He would made sure he would come with enough food while I bring food for the bully. His name was Lorenzo and his girlfriend Molly.

I sat down by the play ground opposite my house playing with my dolls, Lucy and Dr Michael. They were my favourite dolls and dad bought for me on my birthday.

"Aww Fat Kerry is playing with dolls." Lorenzo and Molly walked up to me and took my dolls away from me.

" Bring Lucy and Dr Michael back, please."

" You name your dolls?" Molly said while Lorenzo laughed.

"No please." I started to tear up.

" You are also a cry baby? You still a baby."

My heart broke into two peaces when I saw Lucy's head separate from her body, so does the arms and legs.

" No!" They threw them down on the green grass right in front of me.

" Grow up Fat Kerry. You are too old for playing with dolls."

They left me alone crying for my dolls. "What am I going to say to dad? How will I tell him the dolls that he bought few months ago are broken. I can't tell him that the Alpha's son broke them. That will cause problem between my dad and the Alpha." I thought to my self.
