Madison

"Well," Sophia broke the tension, "that was a ringing endorsement."

"Does he always just appear like that?" Ryan asked. "Like some kind of corporate Batman?"

I couldn't help laughing. "Pretty much."

The mood lightened again as everyone returned to their conversations. I moved around the room, speaking briefly with each team member, getting a sense of their personalities beyond their professional roles.

Olivia pulled me aside near the pastry table. "Fair warning: Victor Harmon is going to test you at every turn. He thinks he should be running this project."

"Thanks for the heads-up." I selected a chocolate croissant. "Any other office politics I should know about?"

"Rachel and Joseph dated briefly last year. It ended badly. Try not to put them on the same task forces if you can help it."

I raised an eyebrow. "Noted."

"And Lucas talks tough, but he's actually got the best contacts in construction. Keep him happy."

"You're a wealth of information."

She shrugged. "I've b

    Madison"You think you can find Katherine without a last name?" I asked, leaning closer to see her screen. "There must be thousands of Katherines in the world." "Oh, sweet summer child." Hazel cracked her knuckles dramatically before typing her password. "You underestimate the power of gossip networks." Her Discord app opened to reveal at least twenty different servers with names like "NYC Elite Tea," "Billionaire Watchdogs," and "Rich People Problems." "How many of these gossip groups are you in?" I asked, eyes widening. "Enough to know things I shouldn't." She clicked into a server called "Manhattan's Finest Mess" and started typing in the search bar. "Katherine... Knight... Alexander..." Results started populating immediately. "See, there might be lots of Katherines," Hazel explained, scrolling through messages, "but there are only a few Katherines connected to New York's elite circles. If she dated Alexander Knight, she'd be in here somewhere." She switched to another serve

    MadisonI slid into the cab, grateful to finally be done with work for the week. Friday night's freedom felt especially sweet after the week I'd had juggling two roles at Knight Industries while trying to ignore the lingering questions about Alexander's past. As the cab pulled into traffic, I leaned back against the seat and pulled out my phone. Before I could stop myself, I opened a browser and typed "Katherine Knight Industries" into the search bar. Nothing relevant appeared. I tried "Katherine Alexander Knight girlfriend" next. Hundreds of results popped up, but none seemed connected to Alexander. Just random Katherines and Alexanders from across the world. Without a last name, this was pointless. I could ask Caroline. She clearly knew more about Katherine than she'd let on. My finger hovered over Caroline's contact. No. Bad idea. Very bad idea. Caroline would use my interest against me somehow. I deleted the search history and shoved my phone back into my purse. Twenty min

    MadisonHis fingers danced along my slick folds, applying just enough pressure to make me arch my back, seeking more contact. The deliberate slowness of his movements was exquisite torture, each careful stroke bringing me to the edge without letting me fall over. "Please," I whispered, my hips lifting off the table. Alexander's eyes darkened. "Please what, Madison?" "More," I gasped as his thumb barely grazed my clit. He withdrew his hand completely, and I whimpered at the loss of contact. "Patience is a virtue." "Not right now, it isn't," I muttered. Alexander laughed. "Turn over again. I haven't finished your massage." I groaned in frustration but complied, rolling onto my stomach once more. The leather stuck slightly to my overheated skin. "Good girl," he murmured, pouring more oil onto his hands. His strong fingers returned to my shoulders, working the remaining tension from my muscles. The massage was professional now, focused on therapeutic pressure rather than teasing

    MadisonI slipped the blouse off my shoulders, letting it fall to the floor. Standing there in my black lace bra, I felt exposed yet powerful under his hungry gaze. "Continue," he commanded softly. My hands moved to my jeans, unbuttoning them and sliding the zipper down. I wiggled my hips to push them down my legs, stepping out of them when they pooled at my feet. "The rest, too," Alexander said, his voice rougher now. "You said just the blouse and jeans." "I lied." His eyes traveled over my body. "Everything, Madison." My heart hammered against my ribs as I reached behind to unhook my bra. The straps slid down my arms, and I let the garment drop. Alexander's sharp intake of breath was audible in the quiet room. "Beautiful," he whispered, pushing away from the wall and moving toward me. I hooked my thumbs into the waistband of my panties, sliding them down until I stood completely naked before him. The cool air pebbled my nipples, and I resisted the urge to cover myself. "Lie

    MadisonI stood outside Alexander's penthouse, my finger hovering over the doorbell as I took a deep breath. The hallway was silent except for the soft hum of the building's ventilation system and my own heartbeat thumping in my ears. I pressed the button, hearing the melodic chime echo through his apartment. Footsteps approached, and the door swung open. Alexander stood there, his tie loosened and the top two buttons of his shirt undone. He'd changed from his office attire into dark jeans and a casual button-down that somehow looked more expensive than most people's formal wear. "You're here." His eyes traveled over me, taking in my slightly windblown hair and the outfit I'd worn to meet Caroline. "You asked me to come," I replied, stepping inside as he moved aside. "I did." He closed the door behind me. "Drink?" "Please." I followed him through the penthouse, my heels clicking against the marble floors. The lights of the city sparkled through the floor-to-ceiling windows, cre

    Madison"Oh, I don't keep track of Alexander's love life timeline," Caroline said with a dismissive wave. "But it's ancient history now. Water under the bridge." I nodded, processing this information. Katherine. The name Alexander had called me that night in his penthouse when he was drugged. The name I'd heard Anthony mention. A real person with a history that somehow kept intersecting with my present. "I tried asking him about her once," Caroline continued, breaking into my thoughts. "At some charity gala a while back. He just gave me that icy stare of his and changed the subject." She laughed lightly. "Classic Alexander." "Sounds like him," I agreed, feeling a strange mix of emotions I couldn't quite identify. "So," Caroline leaned forward, her eyes suddenly sharp with interest. "Has he mentioned her to you? Or anyone else he might be seeing?" I shook my head. "No, he keeps his personal life very private." "Come on," she pressed. "You must have noticed something. Does he take
