THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT Chapter 58: Doubt Creeps In
Elliot's POV The investigation started quietly, like everything else in this building. By mid-morning, security was reviewing access logs and camera footage. Whispers turned into pointed glances in the hallways. By lunch, fingers were already pointing squarely in my direction. I felt the shift everywhere. Colleagues who used to nod politely now avoided eye contact. A senior analyst casually asked if I’d been working late in Aiden’s office lately. Someone from legal stopped by my desk to request files I’d handled the day the document went missing. The missing merger file wasn’t just gone, it had become a weapon, and I was the easiest target for people looking to shift blame. The tension followed me all day. I kept my head down, answered questions with clipped professionalism, but inside it burned. Aiden stayed locked in back-to-back meetings most of the day. I didn’t see him until after seven, when the floor had finally emptied and he texted me a single line: My office now. He wa
THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT Chapter 57: Shadows
Elliot's POV The office felt different the next morning. No one said anything to my face but the air had shifted. Conversations died when I walked into the break room. Rumors had started. By lunch, I’d heard fragments…nothing direct, just enough to make my skin crawl. “Aiden’s been distracted lately.” “Wonder what’s really going on with the new guy.” I kept my head down and my expression neutral, but every time Aiden’s name came up in a meeting, the tension ratcheted higher. He stayed locked in his office most of the day. I only caught glimpses of him and the same exhausted look he’d worn after his father’s call. The weight of it pressed on me all afternoon. By the time five o’clock rolled around and the floors emptied, my shoulders ached with it. Aiden’s text came through simple and direct: Come up when it’s clear. His apartment was quiet when I let myself in. He was already in the bedroom, loosening his tie with sharp, frustrated movements, the city lights flickering through
THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT Chapter 56: Cracks In The Armor
Elliot's POV I kept checking the side mirror the entire ride to the restaurant, half-convinced someone would spot us. Aiden’s hand rested heavy on my thigh under the table once we were seated in the private back room, his thumb tracing slow circles that made it impossible to focus on the menu. “Relax,” he murmured, voice low enough that only I could hear. “No one knows we’re here.” I wanted to believe him. The place was quiet, dimly lit, the kind of spot where deals were made and secrets stayed buried. We ordered quickly, and for a while it almost felt normal, stealing bites from each other’s plates, trading quiet laughs, his knee pressed against mine under the table like he couldn’t stand even that small distance. But Aiden had been quieter than usual all evening. I waited until the plates were cleared and the waiter had disappeared again before I pushed. “You’ve been somewhere else tonight,” I said. He looked at me for a long moment, then exhaled. His fingers tightened around
THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT Chapter 55: Green-Eyed Warning
I got to Aiden's place after work because he called me and his voice sounded different so I knew something was up. When I walked inside he was sitting on the couch and he looked tense. He pulled me down next to him right away and started talking. Aiden said Vivian came to his office earlier that day and she confronted him about me. She told him that my influence on him was too much and that he was changing because of me. Vivian said I was messing up how he ran things at work and that he needed to step back from me before it caused real problems. She kept talking and said it was not good for him or the company and that he should listen to her because she knew what was best. Aiden told me he let her finish then he shut her down cold. He said to her that this was not her place to talk about his personal stuff and that he did not want her opinions on who he spent time with. Aiden told her straight that I was important to him and she should stay out of it from now on. He said it in a
THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT Chapter 54: Testing Boundaries
Aiden called me into his office early that day and gave me a difficult task to test my loyalty. He handed me the big file and looked straight at me. "Elliot this task is important and I need you to do it," Aiden said. "The client is upset and it could cause big problems for the company if you do not fix it. This is a test of your loyalty so handle it all on your own without help from anyone." I took the file from him and looked inside it. "I understand Aiden," I said. "I will make the calls and fix all the papers and solve the issues today. You can count on me because I want to show you my loyalty." "Good because this is how I test people," he said. "Finish it and come report back to me when it is completely done. Do not ask for help." I went to my desk and started right away. I made many phone calls to the client and explained things. I fixed the papers one by one and sent emails to sort out the problems. It took a long time and I checked every detail so nothing was left wrong.
THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT Chapter 53: Late Hours
I stayed late at the office with Aiden because we had an urgent deal to finish. The building was quiet and most people had gone home already. We sat in his office and went over the papers and numbers for hours. I looked at the clock and it was past nine. "This deal is taking forever," I said. "But we are getting close now." Aiden nodded and rubbed his eyes. "Yeah we need to finish it tonight Elliot. I am glad you stayed to help me with it." We kept working and the tension from being alone built up between us. After a while Aiden put the papers down and looked at me. "I need to talk to you about something real," he said. "This thing between us is new and I want to know if I can trust you completely." I put my pen down too and faced him. "You can trust me Aiden. I would not do anything to hurt you or mess this up. But I get why you ask because work makes it complicated." Aiden stood up and walked around the desk. "I do not let people in easy Elliot. After everything in my past
THE BILLIONAIRE FORBIDDEN ASSISTANT Chapter 27: The Aftermath
Elliot's POV I caught up to Aiden in his office where he was throwing things into a cardboard box. Files and photos and awards he had earned over the years all getting tossed in without any care. His hands were shaking but his face was stone. "Aiden," I said from the doorway. He didn't look up.

Aiden's Pov I sat in the chair against the wall and tried to make myself invisible. The board meeting room felt too small and too hot and every person in here was staring at me like I did not belong. Maybe I did not belong anymore but Marcus said I should come so I came. Richard sat at the head o

Vivian's Pov I stood in my apartment staring at the folder on my kitchen counter and my hands would not stop shaking. The fake evidence sat inside waiting for me to use it and I had been staring at it for twenty minutes trying to convince myself this was the right thing to do. It was not the righ
