A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss
Madison Harper knows all too well the chaos Alexander Knight leaves in his wake. As the billionaire CEO’s personal assistant, she’s cleaned up after countless scandals, soothed ex-lovers, and kept his messy private life from spilling into the boardroom. But when one fateful night lands her in Alexander’s bed, the dynamics shift dramatically.
What begins as a moment of uncontrollable spirals into a neither can resist: Madison needs financial help for her mother’s mounting medical bills, and Alexander offers the resources—on the condition she becomes his girlfriend for a year. No strings, no emotions, just business.
But as the lines between their professional and private lives blur, Madison’s resolve to keep her heart guarded begins to waver. Beneath Alexander’s reckless charm lies a magnetic that draws her closer than she ever intended. Just as she starts to believe she might be more than his latest “arrangement,” the ghost of Alexander’s long-lost first love, Katherine, reappears, threatening to unravel everything they’ve built.
Can Madison protect her heart while navigating this high-stakes game of desire and deception? Or will this with her infamously reckless boss cost her more than she’s prepared to lose?

Chapter: Chapter 173MadisonWhen I woke the next morning, sunlight streamed through my curtains. I felt more rested than I had in days. I stretched, my muscles protesting slightly after yesterday's tension. After another quick shower to fully wake myself up, I headed to the kitchen. I whipped up some scrambled eggs with spinach and toast, humming to myself as I worked. I was halfway through my breakfast when my phone buzzed with a text. Hazel's name flashed on the screen, and I swiped to read her message. Hazel: OMG GUESS WHO'S A FINANCIAL GENIUS NOW??? ME!!! I frowned at my phone, confused. Another message popped up before I could reply. Hazel: I bought Knight Industries stock yesterday morning when all that drama hit! Then, I sold some shares at close. I made a $340 profit in ONE DAY!!! My fork clattered against my plate. What the hell? Hazel had never shown any interest in the stock market before. I quickly typed back. Me: Since when have you been playing the stock market??? Hazel: Since I rea

Chapter: Chapter 172MadisonI leaned against the wall in Alexander's office, watching him take the last of his calls for the day. The Bloomberg interview had gone even better than the first, and the Fox Business segment had been nearly perfect. Alexander had been calm, articulate, and confident enough to reassure investors without seeming arrogant. "That's correct," he said into the phone, his voice steady. "Knight Industries welcomes any regulatory review. Our books are open, our practices are transparent, and these allegations are baseless." He paused, listening. "Yes, I understand. Thank you for your support." He hung up and ran a hand through his hair, looking tired but satisfied. "Good news?" I asked. "The market's closed, and we ended down only four percent. Some of our other stocks performed better, some worse, but overall..." He shrugged. "It could have been much worse." "That's a relief," I said, feeling the tension that had been coiled in my shoulders all day finally start to loosen. Alex

Chapter: Chapter 171MadisonI watched Alexander wrap up the CNBC interview with practiced ease. His final words—delivered with unwavering confidence—seemed to resonate with the interviewer, who nodded appreciatively. "And there you have it," the host concluded. "Alexander Knight, CEO of Knight Industries, addressing the allegations head-on. We'll continue to follow this developing story throughout the trading day." The red light on the camera blinked off, and Alexander loosened his posture slightly. "How'd I do?" he asked, turning to me as a technician removed his microphone. "Perfect," I replied honestly. "Confident without seeming defensive. The bit about welcoming regulatory scrutiny was particularly effective." He nodded, checking his phone. "The market's been open for twenty minutes. We're down fourteen percent—better than expected." The PR director approached with a tablet. "Mr. Knight, excellent job. We've already got requests from Bloomberg and Fox Business for follow-ups this afternoon."

Chapter: Chapter 170Madison"Then we'll buy back shares at a discount," Alexander replied smoothly. "Our cash reserves are more than adequate, and it would be an excellent use of capital." This answer seemed to satisfy most of the room, and I noticed several approving nods. "Now," Alexander continued, "I have a series of media appearances scheduled to begin shortly. The best thing all of you can do is project confidence. Call your contacts. Reassure your networks. The worst thing for Knight Industries right now would be for our own leadership to appear panicked." The meeting continued for another thirty minutes, with the executive team outlining specific recovery strategies. I noticed that despite the crisis, most people in the room seemed to be backing Alexander. Even those who had initially expressed anger or concern were now nodding along with his plan. As the meeting wrapped up, board members began filing out, many stopping to speak briefly with Alexander. I stayed close, making note of any c

Chapter: Chapter 169MadisonThe ride to Knight Industries was tense but quick. Alexander drove with focused precision, occasionally checking his phone at red lights. We arrived at 7:45 AM, pulling into his reserved parking spot. "Take notes on everything. We'll need a complete record of this meeting," Alexander instructed as we entered the building. "Of course, Mr. Knight." The executive floor was buzzing with activity despite the early hours. Staff members hurried about with determined expressions, and I could feel the tension in the air. The usual morning chatter was replaced with hushed, urgent conversations and the constant ringing of phones. Alexander strode ahead of me toward the main boardroom, his presence commanding immediate attention from everyone we passed. I followed closely behind, tablet in hand, ready for what promised to be an intense meeting. "The board members are already arriving," I informed him, checking my watch. "Most of the major shareholders have confirmed attendance as wel

Chapter: Chapter 168MadisonI jerked awake, momentarily disoriented by the unfamiliar surroundings. My neck ached from the awkward angle, and I blinked rapidly, trying to get my bearings. The dim lights of Alexander's office slowly came into focus as my eyes adjusted. My watch read 5:12 AM. I sat up, rubbing my stiff neck and shoulders. The events of yesterday came flooding back: the stock crisis, the frantic calls, and the statement. I must have fallen asleep sometime after 2:30 AM. Looking around the spacious office, I spotted Alexander asleep on the leather couch across the room. His usually perfect hair fell across his forehead, and his tie hung loosely around his neck. Even in crisis mode, he looked unfairly handsome. The throw blanket was bunched around my waist. Had he covered me before I fell asleep? The thought made something flutter in my chest. I stood quietly, stretching my cramped muscles, and tiptoed over to where he slept. For a moment, I just watched him: the steady rise and fall of

Chapter: Chapter 13MarcusI stared at the empty space where my wife—no, that traitorous bitch—had stood just moments ago. The ceremonial blade still clutched in my hand, its edge stained with her blood. My blood boiled as I watched Liam Blackwood's sleek car disappear down the road, taking Ella and Jackson with him. My son. No, not my son. Never was. The crowd around me buzzed with whispers and shocked exclamations. I could feel their eyes on me, judging, questioning. The mighty Alpha Marcus Hawthorne, made a fool in front of his entire pack. "Alpha?" Ava approached cautiously, her perfect face etched with concern. "What should we do now?" What should we do? I wanted to laugh. What could we do? The Lycan King himself had just walked into my territory, claimed my wife and son as his own, and walked out without a scratch. I'd been emasculated in front of everyone who mattered. "Clear the area," I growled. The crowd dispersed slowly, too slowly for my liking. Their whispers grew louder as they walk

Chapter: Chapter 12EllaI wrapped the robe tighter around myself. "Look, thank you for saving us. I'm grateful, truly. But I'm not sure what I can give you in return. If you want information about my pack, first, I don't think you need me for that, and second, I'm not putting innocent people in danger. You said you'd spare them." He raised an eyebrow. "Are you sure they're innocent?" "What's that supposed to mean?" "They were going to let you die, Ella. You and your son. None of them spoke up for you when you were wronged." The truth of his words stung, but I shook my head. "They just don't know the truth. They believe what Marcus and Ava told them." "And that makes it okay?" His voice hardened. "They were ready to watch your execution without question." "Not everyone," I argued, though my conviction wavered. "Some of them looked horrified." "But did any of them try to stop it?" He stepped closer, his presence overwhelming. "Did anyone stand up for you?" I looked away, unable to answer because w

Chapter: Chapter 11EllaI yanked open the bedroom door and peered into the hallway. Empty. The corridor stretched in both directions, lined with identical doors. Which way should I go? "Jackson!" I called out, my voice bouncing off the walls. No response. My bare feet slapped against the cold marble as I jogged down the hallway. I had to find him. What if he was lost? What if someone had hurt him? What if— No. I couldn't think like that. I needed to be logical. I stopped, forcing myself to take a deep breath. Think, Ella. Where would he go? I didn't even know where to start looking for Jackson. Liam. He would know. He probably had people watching us anyway. I approached what I hoped was his door and knocked frantically, not caring if I woke him. My son was missing. No answer. I knocked again, harder this time. "What's wrong?" I spun around so fast that I nearly lost my balance. Liam stood a few feet away, already dressed in dark jeans and a fitted black t-shirt that clung to his chest like it

Chapter: Chapter 10EllaWhat the hell was wrong with me? The man had just saved us from execution, and here I was, ogling him like some desperate teenager. I pressed my palms against my burning cheeks, trying to get myself under control. The door swung open again without warning, making me jump. "I forgot to mention," Liam said, his massive frame filling the doorway, "there are clothes in the closet. Choose whatever you like." His eyes flickered to the connecting door. "And don't open this door again without knocking." I nodded, mortified. "Won't happen again." "Good." He paused. "You haven't eaten. I'll have food sent up. Make sure Jackson eats something when he wakes." "Sure," I said, eager for him to leave before my face caught fire. With a final nod, he disappeared again, leaving me alone. I sank onto the edge of the bed, exhaling slowly. What a day. My husband had tried to execute us, a stranger had claimed us as his woman and his kid, and I'd seen said stranger naked. All things considered,

Chapter: Chapter 9EllaThe question hung between us, heavy with implications I wasn't ready to consider. I snuck another glance at him through the rearview mirror and found his eyes already watching me. I quickly looked away, heart hammering."You can relax," he said, his voice gentler now. "I'm not going to hurt either of you."Right. Because murderous tyrants always announce their peaceful intentions. Very reassuring."Where are you taking us?" I asked, proud that my voice remained steady."Somewhere safe."Oh, helpful. Super specific. Thanks for clearing that up.Jackson shifted slightly in his seat, and I noticed he'd been listening intently to our exchange."Look," I said, lowering my voice. "I appreciate the dramatic rescue back there, but I think we deserve to know what's going on. Why did you come for us? What do you want?""We'll talk when we arrive," he said simply. "It's not a conversation for the road."Great. More mysteries. Just what I needed.I sighed and turned to look out the window. T

Chapter: Chapter 8EllaMarcus's breathing grew ragged against my ear. I sensed him weighing his options as the blade at my throat trembled slightly."She's not worth dying for," Ava hissed. "None of us are! Just let them go!"For once, I agreed with her, though for different reasons. I just wanted this nightmare to end. I wanted Jackson safe.The blade at my throat meant nothing compared to seeing my son's face crumple with fear. His small body trembled in the guard's grip, and I'd trade my life a thousand times to see him smile again."Three," Liam's voice thundered as he counted."Two.""Fine!" Marcus roared, suddenly shoving me forward. I stumbled, falling face-first into the dirt. "Take the lying piece of trash! And the boy, too!"The guard holding Jackson released him with such force that my son stumbled forward, nearly falling himself.I pushed myself up onto my knees, spitting dirt from my mouth. "Jackson, come here, baby."He didn't move.Marcus stalked toward me, his face contorted with rage.
