Chapter: Chapter 152OliviaI took my coffee from the barista with a grateful smile, the scent of freshly ground beans wrapping around me like a comforting blanket. After the long day at work, I needed this little escape. I found a quiet corner table by the window at Crescent Moon Café, sinking into the plush armchair with a contented sigh. The café buzzed with the gentle hum of evening conversations, laptops clicking, and the occasional hiss of the espresso machine. Perfect white noise to decompress. Taking a sip of my latte, I closed my eyes briefly, letting the warmth and caffeine work their magic. The café was my secret sanctuary when I needed to clear my head before going home. Something about the ambient music, soft lighting, and the comforting aroma of coffee grounded me after chaotic days. My phone buzzed on the table. Alexander's name lit up the screen. "Hey," I answered, keeping my voice low. "Where are you?" Alexander asked, his deep voice carrying a hint of curiosity. "I just stopped by y

Chapter: Chapter 151OliviaA server approached with a tray of coffee and pastries, momentarily pausing our conversation. I used the interruption to gather my thoughts, acutely aware that this initial meeting could set the tone for the entire project."Tell me, Mrs. Carter," Thompson said after taking a sip of his coffee, "what do you see when you look at this hotel?"It was a test question, carefully designed to reveal whether I understood the value of his family's legacy or was just another marketer looking to modernize for modernization's sake."I see a hotel that understands what true luxury means," I answered honestly. "Attention to detail, exceptional service, and an atmosphere that makes guests feel like they're part of something special. These aren't qualities that need to change."His expression remained impassive. "And what would you change?""I'd update how you communicate those qualities," I said, accepting a cup of coffee from the server. "Your digital presence doesn't reflect the experience

Chapter: Chapter 150OliviaI wrapped my fingers around the oversized coffee mug on my desk, inhaling the rich aroma that promised to jumpstart my brain. The Thompson Hotels project file lay open before me, pages of market research and competitor analysis spread across my desk in organized chaos. Two weeks into my new role as Senior Marketing Strategist, I was finally finding my rhythm.My office phone buzzed, and Dylan's voice came through the speaker. "Mrs. Carter, I've compiled the demographic reports you requested for Thompson. Also, this is a reminder that we have a site visit scheduled for 11 a.m."I pressed the intercom button. "Thanks, Dylan. I'll be ready to leave in twenty minutes."I turned back to my notes, scribbling additional ideas for the Thompson rebrand. The luxury hotel chain had been losing market share to trendier boutique hotels that better captured the attention of younger travelers. Our job was to help them reclaim their position without alienating their loyal customer base.A soft

Chapter: Chapter 149Alexander"Are you okay?" I asked, brushing hair from her face. Her pupils were blown wide, and her lips parted as she panted softly. "Yes," she nodded, experimentally rolling her hips. I groaned at the movement, my fingers digging into her hips. "Start moving, Liv. Show me how that pussy works." She began to rise and fall on my length, establishing a rhythm that had us both moaning. Her breasts bounced tantalizingly with each movement, and I couldn't resist leaning forward to capture one nipple in my mouth. "Alex!" she cried out, her pace faltering as I sucked hard on the sensitive peak. "Don't stop," I commanded, releasing her nipple with a wet pop. "Keep fucking me." Olivia resumed her movements, finding her confidence as she rode me with increasing enthusiasm. I helped guide her with my hands on her hips, occasionally thrusting up to meet her downward motion. "Fuck, that's it," I praised, watching where our bodies joined. "Your pussy looks so good stretching around my cock.

Chapter: Chapter 148AlexanderOur bodies pressed together, skin to skin, and I groaned at the contact. Her nipples brushed against my chest, sending sparks of electricity through me. I kissed my way down her neck, across her collarbone, back to her breasts. "Your tits are fucking perfect," I murmured, my fingers expertly cupping both of her beautiful breasts in my hands. I could feel her breath hitch in her throat as I gently squeezed, eliciting a quiet sigh of pleasure from her lips. Encouraged by her reaction, I leaned down, flicking my tongue teasingly across one of her hardened nipples, tasting the sweetness of her skin and delighting in the way she responded to my touch. My hand had slipped between her legs, finding her already wet. I ran my finger along her slit, gathering moisture before circling her clit. "You're so wet," I whispered, continuing to play with her breast with my other hand. "Alex, please," she moaned, hips rising to meet my touch. I slid one finger inside her, feeling her wal

Chapter: Chapter 147AlexanderWhen we finally arrived at the estate, Alfred was waiting to greet us, despite the late hour. "Good evening, Mr. Carter, Mrs. Carter," he said with a slight bow. "I trust the gala was enjoyable?" "It was, thank you, Alfred," I replied. "You didn't need to wait up." "No trouble at all, sir." His eyes crinkled at the corners. "Mrs. Carter, shall I bring some tea to your room?" "That would be lovely," Olivia said, and I noted how easily she'd adapted to having staff. "Thank you, Alfred." "Very good, madam. I'll have it sent up shortly." As Alfred disappeared toward the kitchen, Olivia kicked off her heels with a sigh of relief. "These shoes are gorgeous but absolutely murderous." "Want me to carry you upstairs?" I offered, only half-joking. "I think I can manage," she laughed, picking up her shoes. "But I appreciate the chivalry." We made our way upstairs to our bedroom suite. Olivia immediately headed for the bathroom to remove her makeup, while I loosened my tie and

Chapter: Chapter 359MadisonMy office felt like a sanctuary. The door closed behind me with a reassuring click. I collapsed into my chair, the reality of the situation crashing down around me. Alexander was engaged to Katherine. And I was pregnant with his child. I pulled out my phone, checking for messages from him. Nothing. I scrolled to our last text exchange, mundane and work-related, from days ago. My finger hovered over the call button. No. This wasn't a phone conversation. I needed to see his face when I told him. I strode toward Alexander's office, but to my dismay, he still hadn't arrived today either. I threw myself into work. Hours passed in a blur of spreadsheets and phone calls. By mid-afternoon, my phone buzzed with a news alert: "Knight Industries Confirms CEO Engagement." The official press release was brief and corporate: "Knight Industries is pleased to announce the engagement of CEO Alexander Knight to Katherine Sinclair, founder of Sinclair Luxe. The couple requests privacy duri

Chapter: Chapter 358Madison"No," I whispered, shaking the test as if that might change the result. "No, no, no." We'd used protection. Hadn't we? The night blurred with whiskey and passion, but I was almost certain... Almost wasn't good enough when it came to birth control. I sank to the floor, head in my hands. A baby. Alexander Knight's baby. "Madison?" Mom called from the living room. "Everything okay in there?" I shoved the pregnancy test into my makeup bag. "Fine! Just... trying a new face mask." "Well, hurry up. Your breakfast is getting cold." I splashed cold water on my face and took several deep breaths. Panic wouldn't help. I needed a plan. The pregnancy test sat accusingly in my makeup bag, those two pink lines representing a future I hadn't planned for. My life, which had finally started stabilizing, was about to implode all over again. I studied my reflection in the mirror. "You're going to handle this," I whispered to myself. "One step at a time." First step: confirm the pregnanc

Chapter: Chapter 357MadisonBy four o'clock, I'd managed to avoid any direct contact with Alexander. A small victory in a war against my own poor judgment.

Chapter: Chapter 356MadisonI woke to the soft glow of morning light filtering through unfamiliar curtains. For one blissful moment, I lived in peaceful ignorance before reality crashed like a bucket of ice water. Alexander's penthouse. Alexander's bed. Beside me, Alexander Knight slept soundly, his usually severe expression relaxed in slumber. One muscular arm was flung carelessly above his head, the other resting on his bare chest. Oh god. What did I do? Memories from the night before flooded back with merciless clarity. The party. Jackson. Alexander's text asking me to stay. The whiskey. The kiss. My kiss. I had kissed him. Heat rushed to my face as I remembered how I'd practically thrown myself at him. How my hands had tangled in his hair, how I'd moaned when he'd lifted me onto the kitchen counter, how I'd begged him to— Stop. I needed to get out of here. Moving with exaggerated care, I slid from beneath the Egyptian cotton sheets. My dress lay in a crumpled heap by the door, and my underwea

Chapter: Chapter 355AlexanderI stepped closer, unable to resist the gravitational pull she seemed to exert on me. "If it doesn't matter, why are we still talking about it?" "You're right." She reached for her glass and drained the remaining whiskey. "We shouldn't be talking about it at all." I watched her throat work as she swallowed, transfixed by the curve of her neck, the way the dress hugged every perfect inch of her. She'd worn that dress deliberately tonight. Not for Jackson. For me. "Another?" I offered, reaching for her empty glass. Madison hesitated, then nodded. "One more. Then I should go." I crossed to the bar, feeling her eyes on me as I poured another finger of whiskey into her glass. When I returned, she took it with slightly unsteady fingers. "You should slow down," I advised, noticing the flush creeping up her neck. "This is good whiskey. Meant to be savored." "I can handle my alcohol, Mr. Knight." She took another sip, defiance flashing in her eyes. "I'm sure you can, Ms. Harpe

Chapter: Chapter 354MadisonWe rode the elevator in silence, the air between us charged with unspoken tension. In the lobby, Alexander guided me outside with a light touch at the small of my back that sent electricity up my spine. His Bentley waited at the curb, and his driver, John, was holding the door open. "Ms. Harper," John nodded, his expression carefully neutral. I slid into the plush leather seat, and Alexander joined me, sitting uncomfortably close. The door closed, sealing us in the quiet luxury of the car. "Did you enjoy the party?" Alexander asked as the car pulled away from the curb. "It was lovely," I answered automatically. My fingers curled around the soft leather seat of the Bentley, trying to ground myself. This was a bad idea. But something about Alexander's presence always clouded my judgment, making me agree to things I knew I shouldn't. The drive to his penthouse was mercifully short, the city lights blurring past the tinted windows like fireflies. Neither of us spoke; the sil
