Alexander

The sleek Bentley pulled up to a pristine townhouse in Kensington, one of London's most exclusive neighborhoods. I checked the address against the one Leo had texted me.

"This is it," I told Madison, who peered through the window with undisguised curiosity. "I need you to wait in the car."

Her brow furrowed. "What? Why?"

"Because I don't want to spook her. Leo and I will handle this." I squeezed her hand reassuringly. "Trust me."

Madison's lips pressed into a thin line of disapproval. "Fine. But be careful."

"Always am." I winked, enjoying the eye roll it earned me.

I stepped out of the car, straightening my jacket as I surveyed the elegant townhouse. Security cameras were discreetly positioned at strategic points. A black car was parked nearby, and I spotted Leo leaning against it, sunglasses on despite the overcast London sky.

"About time," he said as I approached. "Thought you'd gotten lost in tourist land."

"Had to show Madison Harper the sights. Can't come to Lo

    MadisonMy office felt like a sanctuary. The door closed behind me with a reassuring click. I collapsed into my chair, the reality of the situation crashing down around me. Alexander was engaged to Katherine. And I was pregnant with his child. I pulled out my phone, checking for messages from him. Nothing. I scrolled to our last text exchange, mundane and work-related, from days ago. My finger hovered over the call button. No. This wasn't a phone conversation. I needed to see his face when I told him. I strode toward Alexander's office, but to my dismay, he still hadn't arrived today either. I threw myself into work. Hours passed in a blur of spreadsheets and phone calls. By mid-afternoon, my phone buzzed with a news alert: "Knight Industries Confirms CEO Engagement." The official press release was brief and corporate: "Knight Industries is pleased to announce the engagement of CEO Alexander Knight to Katherine Sinclair, founder of Sinclair Luxe. The couple requests privacy duri

    Madison"No," I whispered, shaking the test as if that might change the result. "No, no, no." We'd used protection. Hadn't we? The night blurred with whiskey and passion, but I was almost certain... Almost wasn't good enough when it came to birth control. I sank to the floor, head in my hands. A baby. Alexander Knight's baby. "Madison?" Mom called from the living room. "Everything okay in there?" I shoved the pregnancy test into my makeup bag. "Fine! Just... trying a new face mask." "Well, hurry up. Your breakfast is getting cold." I splashed cold water on my face and took several deep breaths. Panic wouldn't help. I needed a plan. The pregnancy test sat accusingly in my makeup bag, those two pink lines representing a future I hadn't planned for. My life, which had finally started stabilizing, was about to implode all over again. I studied my reflection in the mirror. "You're going to handle this," I whispered to myself. "One step at a time." First step: confirm the pregnanc

    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

    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
