Chasing The Boss
“I don't want an interview Mr Cross. I want you exposed.”
Lexi Carter is a struggling journalist working for The Daily Buzz, a bottom-tier tabloid that survives on celebrity scandals. Her job is to stalk the rich and famous, dig up dirt and sell their secrets to the highest bidder.
But when she’s assigned to trail Lucian Cross, the notoriously private and devastatingly gorgeous CEO of Cross Media Entertainment, she meets her match.
Lucian is used to people wanting a piece of him for his money, his power, or his fame, but when he catches Lexi sneaking around him again and again, he’s intrigued. Instead of having her arrested, he offers her a deal:
“Write flattering pieces about me, and I will give you exclusive access to my world.”
Lexi hates him. His arrogance, his smirk, the way he controls everything. But she agrees because she needs the paycheck.
Now, she’s torn between destroying him or saving him, and worse, she’s falling for the man she was supposed to ruin!
Will she betray him by releasing his darkest secret and save her father?
Or risk everything for the man who stole her heart?
Find out more in the story!

Chapter: LucianThe meeting was set for three PM at my lawyer's office. Neutral ground, everything recorded, my security team positioned strategically throughout the building. I'd taken every precaution I could think of.What I hadn't expected was the text from Lexi at 1:45 PM."Giselle contacted me. She wants to meet. I'm going to Café Luna on 5th Street."I called her immediately. "Lexi, don't you dare go to that meeting.""I have to. She specifically asked me to come alone.""That's exactly why you shouldn't go!" I was already grabbing my keys. "She's trying to get to me through you.""Then let her try. Maybe I can find out what she really wants.""Lexi, please. I'm begging you. Don't do this." I was in the elevator, heading to the parking garage. "She's desperate and unpredictable. There's no telling what she might do.""Jerome is with me. I'll be safe.""Jerome is one person. She could have backup, she could have a plan we don't know about." The elevator doors opened and I rushed towards my car.

Chapter: LexiThe security detail was discrete but obvious enough that I felt like I was living in a movie. Jerome, a tall, silent man in a dark suit, had been assigned to me and was currently sitting in the lobby of The Daily Buzz building, trying to look inconspicuous while reading a newspaper. I'd arrived at work an hour early, hoping to lose myself in the familiar routine of editing articles and managing deadlines. But every few minutes, I found myself glancing toward the lobby, watching Jerome's vigilant presence, and remembering why he was there in the first place. "Your mysterious bodyguard is causing quite a stir," Jake, a co-worker said, sliding into the chair across from my desk. He joined us just three weeks ago and Mia had already gotten too close to him that we were now a circle of three. He practically knows everything about Mia and I. And Mia wasn't at work today, now I'm stuck with someone talkative. "Half the office thinks you're dating a celebrity, the other half thinks you're in

Chapter: LucianI woke up before dawn with Lexi curled against my chest, her breathing slow and even. For a moment, I let myself pretend that last night hadn't happened, that I hadn't found my ex-fiancée sitting half-naked on my bed, demanding money and threatening my company.But as I carefully extracted myself from Lexi's arms and headed to the kitchen to make coffee, the reality of the situation settled over me like a heavy blanket.Giselle Laurent was back, again, and she was desperate.My phone had been buzzing with missed calls and texts since five AM. Gregory, my head of assistant, Butler Shaw, my head of security, and even my lawyer , Reid. They all wanted to know what I planned to do about "the situation."I poured two cups of coffee and brought one back to Lexi, who was just waking up."Morning," she said sleepily, accepting the cup gratefully."Morning. I have to go into the office early today."She sat up, suddenly alert. "This is about Giselle, isn't it?""I need to meet with my security

Chapter: Lexi I was sitting on my couch in my pajamas, with a cup of tea in my hands, when my phone buzzed with a text from Lucian."Had the most perfect evening with you. Sweet dreams, beautiful."I smiled, typing back. "Me too. Can't wait to see you tomorrow."The evening had been exactly what I needed after the overwhelming gala. Just us, no pressure, no society mothers trying to set him up with their daughters. At Antonio's, Lucian had been completely himself, relaxed, funny, attentive. Not the polished CEO everyone wanted something from, just the man I was falling in love with.I was about to head to bed when my phone rang. Lucian's name flashed on the screen."Miss me already?" I answered with a laugh."Lexi." His voice was tight, strained. "I need to tell you something."My stomach dropped. "What's wrong?""Giselle is here. In my apartment. She somehow got past security and she's..." He paused, and I could hear muffled voices in the background. "She's in my bedroom." He whispered.The words

Chapter: Lucian The next evening, I sat across from Lexi at a small corner table at Antonio's, a small Italian restaurant in her neighborhood.The lighting was dim, the tables were close together, and the whole place smelled like garlic and fresh basil. It was a world away from last night's gala, and I couldn't have been happier."This is perfect," I said, watching Lexi twirl pasta around her fork."No photographers, no society mothers, no business cards being passed around."She laughed and the sound made my chest tighten in the best way. "I think Mrs. Whitmore was about to start a bidding war over you.""Victoria Harrison asked me to launch three times," I shook my head. "I think she was planning to propose a merger not a collaboration." She's beautiful,” Lexi said and I heard the insecurity in her voice. “She's also everything I'm trying to get away from.” I reached across the table and took her hand. “Lexi, I spent three years in that world with Giselle. I know what it's like to date someone wh

Chapter: Lexi Three weeks had passed since our conversation in Lucian's office. Three weeks since I'd slipped off my engagement ring with shaking hands and placed it gently on his desk. Three weeks since we'd both admitted we were rushing into something that deserved more time.I thought it would hurt more than it did. I thought taking off that beautiful ring would feel like losing him. Instead, it felt like I could breathe again."Miss Carter, Mr. Cross is here to pick you up," Jenny, the receptionist at The Daily Buzz, called out with a knowing smile.I looked up from my computer screen, my heart doing that familiar flutter it always did when I knew I was about to see him. "Tell him I'll be right down."I saved my article and grabbed my purse, checking my reflection in my phone camera. We'd been dating properly for three weeks now, and I was still getting used to the butterflies that came with it. Real dating. Not hiding from cameras or managing scandals, just... getting to know each other."Goin
