I blinked, trying to process his words through my post-orgasmic haze. "What? Financial fraud?"

"We don't have time for explanations," Alexander said, tossing his shirt over his head. His muscles flexed as he buttoned it with practiced efficiency. "Get dressed. Now."

The urgency in his voice snapped me into action. I scrambled off the bed and headed to the closet, where some of my clothes hung alongside his designer suits.

I quickly selected a charcoal pencil skirt and cream blouse, which were professional enough for whatever crisis awaited us.

"Faster," he barked, already fully dressed and checking his phone again. His jaw clenched tighter with each swipe of his thumb.

I hurried into the bathroom to fix my appearance, wincing at my reflection. My hair was a tangled mess, my lips swollen, and faint red marks dotted my neck where Alexander had gotten carried away. I quickly applied concealer to the most visible marks and pulled my hair into a tight bun.

    MadisonBy four o'clock, I'd managed to avoid any direct contact with Alexander. A small victory in a war against my own poor judgment. I leaned back in my chair, rubbing my temples against the headache brewing behind my eyes.My computer pinged with a new email notification.From: Alexander KnightSubject: Manhattan Project TimelineAttachment: Timeline_Revisions.pdfMs. Harper,Please review the attached revisions to the project timeline.

No acknowledgment of what happened between us. Just business as usual.I should have been relieved. Instead, something like disappointment twisted in my gut."Get a grip," I muttered to myself, clicking open the attachment.The revisions were extensive, requiring at least another hour of work. I sighed and dove in, grateful for the distractio

  • A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss   Chapter 356

    MadisonI 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

    AlexanderI 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

    MadisonWe 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

    Madison"This party is insane," Jackson remarked, popping a chocolate-covered strawberry into his mouth. "Do you guys do this often?" "Knight Industries likes to celebrate success," I explained. "And Alexander's birthday is a company tradition." "Must be nice," Jackson chuckled. "My company's idea of celebration is pizza in the break room." I smiled, enjoying his down-to-earth perspective. "It does get a bit excessive." "Speaking of excessive," Jackson nodded toward the center of the ballroom where an enormous birthday cake was being wheeled in, complete with sparklers and a small army of servers. "Is that what I think it is?" "Time for the cake ceremony," I confirmed, fighting a grin at Jackson's expression. The string quartet began playing "Happy Birthday" as the servers positioned the multi-tiered cake in the center of the dance floor. The crowd gathered around, Alexander at the front with Katherine at his side. "Ladies and gentlemen," Alexander's father announced, "please j

    MadisonI nearly choked on my water. "What?" "Come on, Madison. He's been watching you all night when he thinks no one's looking." Jackson raised an eyebrow. "And that blonde, Katherine, right? Keeps glancing at you too. There's clearly something going on." I glanced across the room. Alexander wasn't looking our way anymore; his attention was focused on the small group around him. His posture seemed tense, and his smile didn't quite reach his eyes. "You didn't answer my question about your boss." "Sorry," I snapped my attention back to him. "What about him?" Jackson leaned closer, lowering his voice. "There's obviously something going on between you two. The way he keeps looking at you..." "There's nothing going on," I said quickly. Too quickly. Jackson raised an eyebrow, clearly not convinced. "Right. And I'm secretly Batman." I laughed despite myself. "You're ridiculous." "Maybe," he conceded with a grin. "But I'm also observant. He's been watching you all night like a hawk
