As we pulled away from the warehouse, I couldn't help but glance back at the building where we'd just interrogated a man. The whole experience felt surreal.

"You're quiet," Alexander observed as we merged onto the main road.

"Just processing," I replied, staring out the window. "It's not every day I witness an interrogation."

Alexander's lips twitched. "I suppose not."

"Do you really not remember her? Selena?" I asked, genuinely curious.

"Not at all," he admitted. "High school was a long time ago, and I wasn't particularly interested in making lasting connections."

I studied his profile as he drove, the sharp line of his jaw tense beneath the sun streaming through the windshield. The revelation about Selena had clearly rattled him, even if he wouldn't admit it.

"Do you think she's behind drugging you?" I asked, turning slightly in my seat to face him. "This Selena person?"

Alexander's fingers tapped against the steering wheel as he considered my question. "I can't be s

All exactly my thoughts…and sometimes I suspect Jackson as well being involved into this story

I really thought “S” was Scarlett perhaps Scarlett, his step siblings & others like Selena are involved joining forces in taking Alexander down? I’m curious to see who it is, what they want & why? I know this might be far fetched but what if Katherine is somehow involved too? So many possibilities.

    MadisonAlexander started walking, and I followed, my curiosity overcoming my apprehension. The four of us moved through the warehouse, our footsteps echoing in the cavernous space. Leo pushed open the door to reveal a small office. In the center sat Tyler Phillips, the bartender from the event where Alexander had been drugged. He was tied to a chair, his mouth covered with duct tape. His eyes widened when he saw Alexander. I gasped involuntarily. This was not what I had expected when Alexander said we were meeting Leo. Kidnapping seemed a bit extreme, even for Alexander Knight. "You tied him up?" I whispered, unable to hide my shock. Leo shrugged. "Had to make sure he'd stick around for the conversation." I looked at Tyler more closely. Despite being bound to a chair, he appeared physically unharmed. No bruises, no cuts, just a terrified expression above the silver tape. Alexander circled Tyler slowly, like a predator sizing up its prey. "Did he talk?" he asked Leo. "Sang like

    MadisonMy phone buzzed again. Alexander glanced at it. "Aren't you going to check that?" "No," I said, tucking my phone into my purse. "It's probably just Jackson again. Nothing important." Alexander's lips curved into a satisfied smile. "Good. It's nice to see you remember the terms of our arrangement." I rolled my eyes. "Why did you ask me to agree to this girlfriend deal in the first place? There are plenty of girls waiting in line for Alexander Knight's attention." I gestured vaguely with my hand. "You could have your pick of models, actresses, or socialites who'd jump at the chance." "I believe we've already discussed this," he replied, his tone maddeningly calm as he navigated through traffic. "Yeah, we talked about it, but it's been a few weeks and I don't remember exactly what you said." I turned slightly in my seat to face him. "Refresh my memory?" Alexander's eyes remained fixed on the road, but I caught the slight twitch at the corner of his mouth. "I like you, Madis

    MadisonBack to Now…Alexander's eyes met mine, a mix of triumph and something darker swirling in their depths. "We found who 'S' is." My heart skipped a beat. After weeks of uncertainty, the mysterious woman who'd drugged Alexander had a name. "What? Who is it?" I leaned forward, nearly knocking over my espresso. Alexander slipped his phone into his jacket pocket. "Leo didn't say over the phone. We need to go meet him now to find out." "Right now?" I glanced longingly at my half-eaten soufflé. "Finish your dessert." I scooped up another bite of the decadent chocolate, savoring it despite my racing thoughts. Alexander watched me with that intense gaze that always made me feel like I was the dessert. "You have chocolate..." He reached across the table, his thumb brushing the corner of my mouth. Instead of pulling away, he lifted his thumb to his lips and licked it clean. "Mr. Knight," I whispered, my cheeks heating. "What?" He smirked. "I'm not letting good chocolate go to wa

    AlexanderWe moved to a more private spot near the edge of the practice green."So what do we know so far?" Anthony asked, leaning against his putter.Leo sighed, frustration evident in his eyes. "Not much. No name, no contact information, just cash and instructions."I furrowed my brow, trying to piece together the puzzle."After drinking that drug-mixed drink, what happened exactly?" Leo asked, turning to me with a serious expression. "Your sex drive increased dramatically, right? What else?"I hesitated, uncomfortable discussing the details. "Everything intensified. Like someone had cranked up all my senses and desires to eleven. I couldn't think straight. Just wanted to fuck anything that moved.""And did you?" Leo pressed, his expression serious."No," I lied smoothly. "I went straight to my penthouse and called Dr. Peterson. He gave me something to counteract the effects. Knocked me out for most of the night."Anthony raised an eyebrow. "I'm also a doctor, you know. You could ha

    AlexanderThe Previous SundayI lined up my putt on the eighth hole, the sun warm on my back as I studied the slight break in the green. The perfect day for golf: clear skies, light breeze, and the satisfaction of watching Anthony struggle through every hole."You're taking forever," Anthony complained from the edge of the green. "It's a three-foot putt, not brain surgery."I took my time just to annoy him further, then sank the ball with a clean stroke. "That's another birdie for me. What are you at now? Double bogey?""Fuck you," Anthony muttered, marking his scorecard with more force than necessary.As we walked to our golf cart, Anthony glanced around the course. "Where's Leo? Wasn't he supposed to join us today?""He said he'd come," I replied, sliding into the driver's seat. "Probably got caught up with work. You know how he is."Anthony tossed his putter into his bag. "More likely, he's caught up with some woman. That guy's dick gets more action than a revolving door."I chuckl

    MadisonJenna handed him back his credit card with a smile. "Is there anything else I can help you with today?" Alexander glanced at his watch. "No, that will be all. Thank you for your assistance." As we left the store, I felt excitement and guilt. The clothes were beautiful, but I couldn't shake the feeling that I was taking advantage of Alexander's generosity. "Stop overthinking," he said as we walked back to where the car was parked. "I can hear the gears turning in your head from here." "I'm not overthinking," I protested. "I'm just... processing." "Processing what? That you now have a wardrobe befitting your position?" I sighed. "It's just a lot of money, Mr. Knight." "Money I can easily afford," he reminded me. We reached his car, and he opened the passenger door for me. As I slid into the seat, his hand brushed against my lower back, a touch so light it could have been accidental if not for the heat in his eyes. Once he was in the driver's seat, he turned to me before

    MadisonI followed Alexander into the first boutique, a sleek space with minimalist decor and clothing displayed like museum artifacts. A saleswoman with a tight bun and even tighter smile approached us immediately. "Mr. Knight! What an honor to have you visit our store," she gushed, ignoring my existence. "How can I assist you today?" Alexander placed his hand on the small of my back, a subtle gesture that didn't escape the saleswoman's notice. "We're looking for professional attire for Miss Harper here." Her smile dimmed slightly as she finally acknowledged me. "Of course. What kind of pieces were you looking for?" "Power suits," Alexander replied before I could speak. "Something that commands respect and exudes confidence. We need outfits that make a statement when she walks into a room." The next hour was a blur of muted grays, blacks, and navy blues. Each outfit felt more restrictive than the last, like I was trying to squeeze myself into someone else's skin. The saleswoman

    MadisonI straightened my blouse as Alexander zipped up his pants, a satisfied smirk on his lips. He looked as composed as ever, not a hair out of place. How did he do that? I felt like I'd been through a hurricane. "Ready to go shopping?" he asked casually as if we hadn't just had mind-blowing sex against his office window. "Now? Can't we go after work?" I asked, trying to tame my hair into something presentable. "I have the Miller file to finish, and—" "The Miller file can wait." Alexander grabbed his keys from the desk. "I want to see you in something new. Something that screams 'project manager' rather than 'assistant I occasionally bend over my desk.'" My cheeks burned. "Mr. Knight!" "What? It's just facts." He opened his office door, instantly transforming into the professional CEO everyone else knew. "After you, Miss Harper." I walked past him, hyperaware of the eyes following us as we crossed the office floor. Did they know? Could they tell what we'd been doing minutes a
