Tangled in His Web
In the bustling corporate world of Los Angeles, Alexander Knight is a name that commands respect—and fear. The cold, brooding CEO of Knight Enterprises, he is ruthless in business and intolerant of incompetence. With a sharp mind, a strict routine, and no time for nonsense, Alex is the epitome of discipline.
Enter Lily Carter—a free-spirited, bubbly troublemaker who somehow lands a job as Alex’s personal assistant. With an infectious laugh, a love for spontaneity, and an uncanny ability to land herself in trouble, Lily is the exact opposite of everything Alex stands for.
Their worlds collide in the most chaotic way. From missed meetings and accidental coffee spills to clumsy falls and impulsive decisions, Lily turns Alex’s perfectly structured life into a whirlwind of madness. But as much as she infuriates him, she also awakens something in him—a warmth he has long buried.
As office gossip swirls, late-night encounters become frequent, and jealous rivals scheme to break them apart, Alex and Lily must navigate a web of misunderstandings, undeniable chemistry, and their own fears.
Will the ice-cold CEO let his walls crumble for a girl who thrives on chaos? And will Lily realize that sometimes, love is worth the risk—no matter how intimidating the man standing in her way?
A romantic comedy filled with passion, laughter, and heart-fluttering moments, Tangled in His Web is a love story set in the corporate world where opposites don’t just attract—they collide.

Chapter: CHAPTER 79 — The Woman Who Raised HerMorning arrived without permission.Lily woke before the city did.Not because she was rested—but because sleep had finally refused to hold what her waking mind could no longer avoid.The ceiling above her was unfamiliar. Neutral. Clean. Safe in a way she still hadn’t learned to trust. Sebastian’s place didn’t carry the suffocating weight of Elara’s home, nor the disciplined precision of Alexander Knight’s world.For the first time in years, Lily Carter woke up without someone else deciding what the day demanded from her.And the freedom felt heavier than captivity ever had.She lay still, staring upward, replaying the night before.Alex’s voice. His truth. His admission.I chose silence.That sentence settled into her bones.She sat up slowly, pressing a hand to her chest. This wasn’t the end of something.It was the beginning of reckoning.__________Knight Enterprises — Early MorningAlexander Knight arrived at the office before sunrise.Not because he needed to.Because standing

Chapter: CHAPTER 78 — What He Never SaidAlexander Knight didn’t answer immediately.The message sat on his screen, glowing against the darkness of his office.We need to talk. No silence. No protection. Just truth.For years, Alex had negotiated hostile takeovers, dismantled billion-dollar threats, and stared down men who built their lives on destruction.None of that felt as terrifying as this moment.Because Lily wasn’t asking for strategy.She was asking for honesty.And honesty meant surrendering control.He locked his phone, stood, and moved toward the window. The city below pulsed with careless life, people unaware of how fragile everything really was.He had always believed that if he carried the weight alone, others wouldn’t have to bend under it.But Lily had bent anyway.Because of him.Alex unlocked the phone again and typed only one line.Tell me where you are. I’m coming.____________Sebastian’s Place — An Hour LaterLily heard the elevator doors open long before the knock came.Her spine straightened instinct

Chapter: CHAPTER 77 — Her Silence, His ReckoningAlexander Knight stared at his phone long after the boardroom emptied.The glass walls reflected only him now—one man standing in a room built for power, control, certainty. The city outside glowed indifferent, traffic threading through streets like veins carrying life that had nothing to do with his war.The screen stayed dark.No answer.No rejection either.Just silence.And for the first time in years, silence didn’t feel like something he could command.He exhaled slowly and set the phone down, fingers lingering against the polished surface of the table. His pulse was steady, but something beneath it—something older, more dangerous—was stirring.He had exposed Elara.Not completely. Not yet.But enough.Enough to provoke her.And that meant Lily was no longer standing near the battlefield.She was standing in the center of it.Alex closed his eyes briefly.I should have told you.The thought returned, heavy and merciless.He had spent years convincing himself that withholding inf

Chapter: CHAPTER 76 — The Boardroom TrapThe boardroom at Knight Enterprises had always been designed to intimidate.Floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooked the city like a silent warning. The table—polished black stone—reflected faces back at themselves, forcing anyone seated there to confront their own expressions. Power lived in this room. Decisions that ruined companies and built empires were made here with calm voices and steady hands.Alexander Knight stood at the head of the table, jacket perfectly pressed, posture immaculate.Inside, everything was coiled.He had called this meeting himself—technically.Elara had requested it. Urgently. Dramatically. With just enough vagueness to force compliance. Alex had agreed without hesitation, because hesitation was exactly what she wanted.The board members filtered in one by one, murmuring greetings, shuffling papers, unaware they were stepping into a carefully laid snare.Elara Wainwright Carter entered last.She wore ivory.Not black. Not gray. Ivory—soft, expensive, disarm

Chapter: CHAPTER 75 — Lines of WarThe first thing Lily realized was that the documents didn’t lie.They didn’t shout either.They sat there quietly on the screen in front of her, rows of transactions, timestamps, offshore accounts, shell companies nested inside other shell companies like a Russian doll of corruption. Nothing dramatic. Nothing obvious.That was what made them terrifying.Sebastian stood a few feet away, arms folded loosely, watching her without hovering. He had learned long ago that pressure made people defensive. Space made them honest.Lily scrolled slowly, forcing herself not to skim.She had always been good with details. Elara had beaten that into her—not literally, never in ways that left visible marks, but through constant correction, constant scrutiny.Read it again. You missed something. Careless girls make mistakes.So Lily read everything twice.Then a third time.Her jaw tightened.“These transfers,” she said at last, tapping the screen, “they’re staggered. Not large enough individually t

Chapter: CHAPTER 74 — Under Her SkinLily Carter did not cry when she stepped into Sebastian’s car.That surprised her more than anything else.She had cried enough in her life—quietly, behind locked doors, into pillows that never told anyone what they heard. Elara had taught her early that tears were a weakness, something to be punished or mocked or weaponized later.So Lily learned control.And tonight, control was the only thing holding her upright.The car door closed with a soft, final click, sealing her inside a space that smelled faintly of leather and cold air. The city lights slid across the darkened windows as the vehicle pulled away from the curb, smooth and deliberate.Sebastian sat beside her, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable. He didn’t look at her right away. He didn’t rush to speak. He knew better.Silence had always been one of his sharpest tools.Lily stared straight ahead, hands folded tightly in her lap, nails pressing crescents into her skin. Her heartbeat was steady—not calm, but contro
