The Billionaire I Rejected Is My Boss
F.O. Enis · Ongoing · 95.1k Words
Introduction
Not a question. A decision.
"I don't think that's a good idea," I replied.
"Why not?"
"Because I don't belong in your world."
Ava Morgan has one rule: never mix emotions with ambition. Focused and independent, she has no interest in powerful men or complicated relationships.
So when a billionaire approaches her at a high-profile event, she does the one thing no one expects.
She rejects him.
Days later, she walks into her new job and finds out her new boss is the same man.
Ethan Blackwood is powerful, ruthless, and not used to hearing no. But instead of revenge, he becomes determined to break through Ava's walls.
As secrets unravel and attraction grows, Ava is forced to question everything she believes.
What happens when the man you rejected becomes the one person you can't escape?
Chapter 1
I shouldn't have been there.
That was the first thought that crossed my mind the moment I stepped into the grand hall.
Everything about the place screamed money. Crystal chandeliers hung from the ceiling like they had never known dust, soft golden light spilling over polished marble floors. The air smelled expensive—like perfume I couldn't afford and power I didn't belong around.
This wasn't my world.
And I knew it.
"Relax," Lila murmured beside me, nudging my arm lightly. "You look like you're about to run."
"I am thinking about it," I muttered under my breath, adjusting the simple black dress I had spent too long choosing.
It suddenly felt too plain.
Too small.
"Don't you dare," she said, grabbing my wrist before I could even consider turning back. "You got invited. That means you deserve to be here."
I let out a quiet breath.
Invited.
That word still felt strange.
This event was filled with people who owned companies, built empires, controlled rooms without saying a word.
People like Ethan Blackwood.
I stiffened slightly at the thought, quickly pushing it away.
He wasn't here.
Men like him didn't attend events like this casually—they were the reason events like this existed.
"Come on," Lila said, already scanning the room with excitement. "At least pretend to enjoy it."
I forced a small smile.
"Fine. Ten minutes."
"Liar," she grinned.
I tried.
I really did.
I smiled when necessary, nodded when spoken to, accepted a glass of something I didn't even like just to avoid looking out of place.
But the longer I stayed, the more I felt it.
That quiet pressure.
Like I didn't belong.
Like at any moment, someone would notice and ask me what I was doing here. "Stop overthinking," I whispered to myself.
And then—
The room shifted.
It was subtle.
So subtle most people wouldn't notice.
But I did.
Conversations slowed.
Attention shifted.
Energy changed.
I didn't know why at first. Until I followed everyone else's gaze.
And saw him.
Ethan Blackwood. He didn't walk into the room.
He owned it the moment he stepped in.
Tall. Composed. Effortlessly controlled. His suit was dark, perfectly fitted, like it was designed for authority rather than style. And his expression—
Unreadable. But powerful.
People didn't just look at him.
They adjusted around him.
Moved for him. Watched him.
My chest tightened slightly.
So he was here. Of course he was.
"Don't stare," Lila whispered sharply beside me.
"I'm not," I replied quickly, looking away.
But it was too late. Because somehow—
He had already seen me.
I felt it before I confirmed it.
That unsettling awareness of being watched.
Slowly, against my better judgment, I lifted my gaze. And froze.
His eyes were on me. Not scanning. Not passing.
Focused. Intentional.
Like out of everyone in this room— He chose me.
My stomach twisted. Why?
That made no sense.
There were women here who looked like they belonged beside him. Women who understood this world, who fit into it effortlessly.
I wasn't one of them.
So why me?
"Okay... that's not normal," Lila muttered under her breath.
"I know," I said quietly.
"Do you know him?"
"No."
That was a lie.
Not a complete one.But enough. I looked away first.
I had to.
Because something about the way he was looking at me felt dangerous.
Like if I held his gaze any longer—
Something would shift. Something I wouldn't be able to control.
"Miss."
The voice came from behind me.
Low. Calm. Too close. I turned.
And there he was.
Ethan Blackwood.
Standing right in front of me.
Not across the room. Not distant. Close. Too close.
For a moment, I forgot how to breathe.
Up close, he was worse.
Sharper. More intense.
His presence wasn't just noticeable—it was overwhelming.
"You don't seem impressed," he said, his voice smooth, controlled.
I blinked, forcing myself to recover.
"I'm sorry?"
"This event," he clarified, his gaze steady on mine. "Most people are."
I held his gaze this time. Carefully.
"I guess I'm not most people."
Something flickered in his eyes.
Interest. Real interest.
And that was a problem.
"Ethan Blackwood," he said, extending his hand.
I looked at it briefly. Then back at him.
And didn't take it.
"I know who you are."
A pause. Small. But noticeable.
"And you are?" he asked.
"Ava."
No last name. No extra information. Nothing he could use.
His gaze lingered slightly.
"Walk with me," he said.
Not a question. A decision.
I felt Lila shift beside me.
Waiting. Watching. Expecting.
But I didn't move.
"I don't think that's a good idea," I said calmly.
Another pause.
He studied me now.
"Why not?"
I met his gaze fully.
"Because I don't belong in your world."
A beat.
"And I have no interest in trying."
Silence. Real silence.
For the first time—
Ethan Blackwood didn't look certain.
"Interesting," he said quietly.
But the way he looked at me after that—
It wasn't interest anymore. It was intention.
And something told me— Rejecting him wasn't the end of this.
It was the beginning.

Offside Temptation
Ethan Ryder was a disaster waiting to happen. Hot-headed, reckless, and constantly one bad decision away from ruining his career. I was supposed to hate him. Instead, I memorized him. I learned exactly how to push his buttons on the ice just to see the fire in his eyes.

The media called it a scandal. They called us a divorced couple. But they didn't see the way Ethan trembled when I cornered him in the hallway afterward.
"You're staring again," he whispered, his back hitting the wall.
"You're still here," I replied calmly, stepping close enough to feel his erratic pulse.
He thought I was cold. He thought I was controlled. He didn't realize that every time he looked at me, I was fighting the urge to completely destroy the distance between us.
Now, the league is forcing us to live together, train together, and smile for the cameras to fix our public image. But the more time we spend alone in my apartment, the harder it is to pretend I just want to play hockey...

Bella and Her Beast
.
Locked in her frozen tower, Bella dreamed of warmth, of touch, of freedom and of love. Cursed with the power of ice and snow, she’s spent her life alone. A secret they tried to protect the world from. Her only escape comes in the form of the books she reads. Stories of heat, desire, and the kind of love that could melt even her frostbitten heart.

.
"I’m keeping her."
"What?"
Before I can react, he scoops her up. Her small body fits easily in the cradle of his talons. For a split second, she looks startled, but not afraid. Her hand rests against one scaled finger, and she stares up at him with that same curious wonder, as though she’s already forgotten she was ever meant to fear me.
"Put her down," I try to command, panic threading through my thoughts. "You’ll hurt her."
"She’s ours," the beast insists, possessive and fierce. "Our snowflake."
After One Night with the Alpha
I thought I was waiting for love. Instead, I got fucked by a beast.
My world was supposed to bloom at the Moonshade Bay Full Moon Festival—champagne buzzing in my veins, a hotel room booked for Jason and me to finally cross that line after two years. I’d slipped into lacy lingerie, left the door unlocked, and lay on the bed, heart pounding with nervous excitement.
But the man who climbed into my bed wasn’t Jason.
In the pitch-black room, drowned in a heady, spicy scent that made my head spin, I felt hands—urgent, scorching—searing my skin. His thick, pulsing cock pressed against my dripping cunt, and before I could gasp, he thrust hard, tearing through my innocence with ruthless force. Pain burned, my walls clenching as I clawed at his iron shoulders, stifling sobs. Wet, slick sounds echoed with every brutal stroke, his body unrelenting until he shuddered, spilling hot and deep inside me.
"That was amazing, Jason," I managed to say.
"Who the fuck is Jason?"
My blood turned to ice. Light slashed across his face—Brad Rayne, Alpha of Moonshade Pack, a werewolf, not my boyfriend. Horror choked me as I realized what I’d done.
I ran away for my life!
But weeks later, I woke up pregnant with his heir!
They say my heterochromatic eyes mark me as a rare true mate. But I’m no wolf. I’m just Elle, a nobody from the human district, now trapped in Brad's world.
Brad’s cold gaze pins me: “You carry my blood. You’re mine.”
There is no other choice for me but to chose this cage. My body also betrays me, craving the beast who ruined me.

He reached for the back of my head and pulled me up just enough to reach my neck. When his fangs slid into me, the pain was instant, electric. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t think. My hands found his shoulders, clawing for something to hold. My legs kicked. Tears streamed down my cheeks.
He moaned against my throat as he drank, and the sound was devastating.
