Sophie I didn’t even know if Alexander would be in. I’d come up with a feeble excuse—wanting to know the kind of merger he was proposing. The truth was that I wanted to see him again. Warning sirens sounded in my head. I shouldn’t be here but I’ve never been this confused in my entire life. With my stomach knotted and my heart all but in my throat, I approached the first man I saw guarding the door. He noticed me coming and offered me a polite smile. “Can I help you?”“Yes. I hope so. I’m here to see Alexander Weillman.”Any normal person would have his phone number so they could just call him to say they were here to see him but I didn’t have his number. He sent me that text with a private number and now I’m here— with a pounding beat not just in my chest but between my thighs too. “I’ll call up and see if he’s free. Can I ask who’s calling on him?”“Just say it’s Soph,” I told him, suddenly self-conscious about giving him my full name.“Just Soph?”“Just Soph,” I confirmed.He r

Sophie I didn’t breathe until I was sure Alex was gone.The second the door clicked shut, I staggered backward, hand clutching my chest. My lungs worked overtime trying to steady me.What the hell just happened?I paced my office, heart thundering. It was four years ago all over again. I’m still standing where Alexander left me, feeling my heartbeat in every part of my body, feeling the slight brush of his fingers against my skin “Jesus, Sophie.” Why am I sweating? What’s happening with my heart? Am I having some kind of medical emergency?Wiping my sweaty palms on the front of my pants, I mumbled, “Okay, he’s gone…take a deep breath.”Alexander holds my deepest secrets and desires in his hands. And now he’s here. For a merger?My phone buzzed—Celine.Of course she’d sense something was wrong. She always did. But I couldn’t talk to her now. She’d only make it worse. She’d storm into the city with a baseball bat and high heels.I hit Airplane mode, tossed the phone onto the desk, an

AlexanderI’m certain her eyesight blurred for a minute. Sophie stood frozen behind her desk, arms crossed, that signature glare locking onto me like a heat-seeking missile. The air between us tightened and the tension thickened. “I said, what the hell are you doing here?” she asked, her voice low but sharp enough to cut through glass.The emotion was right there. Not too hard to miss. I took a slow breath, careful to stay composed.“Alexander Weillman,” I said, extending my hand.“I know who the hell you are,” she spat out. “Your brother sent you?”I shrugged. Her eyes narrowed instead, realization hitting her. “You’re the company rep.”“That’s right,” I replied calmly. “Though I prefer ‘Boss’ these days.”Her expression didn’t shift, but I saw the muscle twitch at her jaw. She hated that I was here. And yet, she wasn’t looking away.“Are you going to offer me a seat?” I asked.She stared at me a second longer before finally gesturing to the chair opposite her. No words. Just a co

SophieI woke up with a headache that felt like karma. Sunlight speared through the blinds, and my skull throbbed in tempo with the hangover I had earned the night before.I sat up slowly, holding my head, the scent of old whiskey and regret clinging to my sheets.Today was the anniversary.Four years ago, I was supposed to walk down the aisle.Instead, I got a text. A single message.“I’m sorry. I have to choose my family. They don’t think you’re enough.”Not enough. Not polished. Not from the right class.That was all I got. A sendforth, maybe? It humiliated me and my family, making us the laughing stock in the city.Not his problem anymore.I staggered into the bathroom, peeled off the oversized tee I didn’t recognize, and stepped into the shower.The water was ice cold, but I let it hit me. Hard. I gasped at the first contact it had with my skin and then relaxed. The force of the water on my skin was all I wanted. Somehow, it made me feel anew, like it could scrub away his touch

Alexander Everything was fine until Derrick burst into my office with Mom right behind him. That was never a good sign.“We’ve got a serious problem,” Derrick snapped, slamming a report on my desk.I skimmed it quickly—efficiency down, losses rising. A slow bleed that could kill us fast.“You’ve got to be kidding.”“I wish,” he muttered, pacing. “I’ve been trying to contain the fallout for hours. It’s spreading.”My stomach clenched. If this leaked, the media would feast. Investors would flee. We could lose everything our father built in a split second. I couldn’t even say what I thought, not when the spoiled brother is here with mother. “We need a merger,” Katherine Weillman said, speaking for the first time. Her voice was tight, laced with action. “If we don’t act now, we’re finished.”She slid a business card across the table. I picked it up—and froze.Soph Kel.“Are you kidding me?” I chuckled. I turned to look at Derrick who had the most nonchalant grin. “What?”It couldn’t b
