The page loaded agonizingly slowly, each pixel revealing what I was certain would be my professional funeral.

But the face that appeared wasn't Alexander's. And the woman wasn't me.

"Tech Giant Joseph Walden Caught in Steamy Affair with Assistant"

Relief flooded through me so intensely that I actually laughed out loud. Not us. Thank god, not us.

I scrolled through the article, reading about how this Joseph person—CEO of some software company I'd never heard of—had been photographed kissing his assistant on a yacht in the Mediterranean. The article was filled with salacious details and anonymous "insider" quotes about their "torrid office romance."

My phone buzzed again with another message from Hazel: "There's more! Check these out!" She sent three more links to similar stories.

  • A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 279

    Madison"That's assault, Ms. Caldwell," Anthony said quietly. "Sexual assault." "It wasn't like that!" she protested. "I just wanted to remind you of what we had!" "We had nothing," Alexander repeated coldly. "And now you've committed a felony based on a delusion." "You can't prove anything," she said, suddenly defiant. "It's your word against mine." Alexander's smile was chilling. "Actually, we have quite a bit of proof. Selena Johnson gave us a full confession. We have the bartender's statement, the money trail from your account to hers, and now..." He gestured around the room. "We have this conversation on video." For the first time, real fear flickered across Vanessa's face. "You're bluffing," she whispered. Leo pulled out his phone and played a video of Selena Johnson's confession from London. The color drained from Vanessa's face as she watched. "That bitch," she hissed. "She promised she'd never tell anyone." "She was quite forthcoming once we explained the potential pr

    Madison"This is ridiculous," Vanessa scoffed, tossing her head. "You've completely lost it." Alexander remained calm, his composure a stark contrast to Vanessa's agitation. "Have I? Selena Johnson gave us quite a detailed account of your little plan." "I don't know what the hell you're talking about. What bullshit is this?" I watched the exchange with growing tension, my arms crossed tightly over my chest. The concrete walls of the warehouse seemed to close in around us, amplifying every word. "Really?" Alexander circled her chair slowly like a predator sizing up its prey. "That's interesting because Selena remembers your instructions quite clearly. The Plaza Hotel, ten thousand dollars, a little vial to slip into my drink." "This is insane." Vanessa jerked against her restraints. "You're holding me against my will based on the word of someone I barely know?" Leo stepped forward, his phone in hand. "We have a recording of her confession. Would you like to hear it?" "I don't ca

    MadisonThe rain pounded relentlessly against the windows of Alexander's car as we navigated the dark, labyrinthine streets of New York. Each droplet seemed to hammer against the glass with a sense of urgency, mirroring the rapid, anxious beating of my heart. The city lights outside transformed into a mesmerizing kaleidoscope of colors, diffused and distorted by the rain-streaked windows. This created an almost dreamlike atmosphere that contrasted sharply with the tension coiling inside the car. "You're quiet," Alexander observed, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. "Just wondering what we're going to find," I replied, watching his profile in the dim light. The sharp angles of his face looked even more severe in the shadows. "You haven't exactly been forthcoming about where we're going." "Vanessa Caldwell," he said simply. My head snapped toward him. "And we're just... what? Going to have a friendly chat with the woman who tried to drug you?" Alexander's mouth curved into a cold s

    MadisonMom tilted her head. "What was that?""Nothing," I said quickly. "I'm going to change and make dinner. Any requests?""Something that doesn't involve quinoa or kale," she replied, shuffling back to the couch. "I've had enough health food in the hospital to last a lifetime."I smiled despite myself. "I'll see what I can do."In my room, I changed into comfortable leggings and an oversized NYU sweatshirt, letting my hair down from its tight bun. My scalp thanked me instantly. After washing off my makeup, I headed to the kitchen to assess our dinner options.The refrigerator offered limited inspiration: some chicken breasts, vegetables, and half a block of cheese. I pulled out the chicken and started chopping onions and bell peppers, my mind drifting to Alexander. The way he'd looked at me in his office earlier, with that intensity that made my knees weak. The gentleness in his voice when he asked about Mom."Need help?" Mom appeared in the doorway, interrupting my thoughts."Abs

    Madison"We'll keep it private for now." A small smile played on his lips. "You drive a hard bargain, Ms. Harper." Relief washed over me. "Thank you." "Don't thank me yet." He took another step closer, his voice dropping to that low register that always sent shivers down my spine. "I might want something in return." I raised an eyebrow, fighting to keep my expression neutral despite the heat blooming in my chest. "That's not how negotiations work, Mr. Knight." "No?" His smile turned wolfish. "I seem to recall several very successful negotiations in this very office that ended quite... satisfactorily for both parties." My cheeks warmed at the memories his words evoked. "That was different." "Was it?" He reached out, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear. His fingers lingered against my skin. "How so?" I stepped back, needing space to think clearly. "We're discussing the terms of our arrangement. It's business." "Maddie, nothing about us has ever been just business." The nickn

    MadisonAlexander sat down behind his desk, motioning for me to take a seat across from him. I perched on the edge of the chair, tablet balanced on my knee. "How's your mother doing today?" he asked, his voice softer than I expected. The question caught me off guard. "She's... fine. Trying to cook pancakes this morning despite doctor's orders to rest." A small smile played at the corner of his lips. "Sounds like someone else I know who doesn't follow instructions." "I follow instructions just fine, Mr. Knight," I replied, raising an eyebrow. "When they make sense." "Debatable." He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the desk. "Have you thought about what we discussed last night?" So we were jumping right into it. No small talk, no buffer. Typical Alexander. "I've thought about it," I said carefully. "And?" "And I haven't decided yet." I met his gaze steadily. "It's not a simple decision." "I see." "Is that all you wanted to discuss?" I asked, keeping my voice neutral. He
