Oops! My Billionaire Boss Fell for Five Versions of Me! Chapter 18

Ten years later, Evelyn still hadn’t shown up with the five million dollars.

“Liar.” I bit down on my straw and chased the last tapioca pearl around the bottom of my bubble

tea.

Nathaniel laughed and slid his drink over to me.

“Mrs. Ashford, we’ve been married for seven years.”

Seven years, and I hadn’t slowed down. I’d climbed from Nathaniel’s assistant to Chief of Staff.

The burrito cart? I’d franchised it. Locations across the country. Bay City was my biggest market. The city was crawling with CEOS, and every single one of them fell for the artisanal pitch.

I snorted and grabbed his bubble tea.

“Seven years, and I still haven’t seen a dime of that five million dollars.”

He tilted his head, watching me with that look. The one that made my chest feel too tight.

“Then I’ll make it up to you.”

He pressed a card into my palm. “All yours. Spend it however you want.

I flicked it back at him. “What’s yours is already mine.”

He refused to sign a prenup. Half of his empire was already mine.

He pretended to think about it. “Then I guess I’ll have to make it up to you another way.”

He cupped my face in his hands and kissed me.

Ten years, and he still kissed me like he was afraid I’d vanish. Slow. Careful. Like he wanted to

memorize this, too.

I melted into it until I couldn’t think.

When I finally pulled back, I was breathless. “What was that for?”

“Mrs. Ashford.” He dropped his forehead to the curve of my neck, his breath ragged.

“I’m so in love with you.”

-…

His voice vibrated against my skin, warm and close enough to shiver through me.

“I love you.”

“You’re in my blood. You always have been.”

The curtains drifted shut, and the rest of the world disappeared.
