Alexander

"The thing about guns, Selena," I said conversationally, "is that they're quite loud. One shot and this place will be swarming with police. London's finest don't take kindly to Americans getting shot in Kensington townhouses."

"I'll tell them you attacked me," she countered.

"With what evidence? Your word against mine? The word of a woman holding a gun on two unarmed men in her own home?"

Her eyes narrowed, but I could see uncertainty creeping in. She was smart enough to realize the corner she'd backed herself into.

"Besides," I continued casually, "everything you've said since we walked in has been recorded."

Her face paled slightly. "You're lying."

I tapped the pen clipped to my breast pocket. "Latest tech. Records audio and video. Streams it directly to secure cloud storage." I gestured to Leo. "He's wearing one too."

Leo nodded, touching his pen. "Standard procedure when dealing with potential corporate saboteurs."

"You can't just record people without their consent," Se

I agree with you Vera, that’s kind of what I was thinking. It will be interesting when the power players take the stage.

stocks go up while A’s company stocks go down. I am not sure if they are business rivals, but back then when Vanessa was threatening A. that her father will hear of how she was humiliated at A’s office, A’s was mocking her saying that he heard Charles’ stocks are pretty much declining lately

Well, if A’s assumption of someone spiking his drink & the attempt to drop his company shares is correct, then there is def. more to the story. Could be that Vanessa’s father Charles was the real mastermind & they could’ve attempted to kill 2 birds with one stone - Vanessa gets into A’s bed, Charles

    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

    MadisonI shook my head with a smile as I closed the bathroom door behind me. The shower hissed to life, steam quickly filling the small space as I stepped under the hot spray. Water cascaded down my back, and I closed my eyes, letting it wash over me. Of course, my mind immediately drifted to Alexander. His words from last night echoed in my head, mixing with the steady drumbeat of water against the tile. What did he mean by "more"? More time? More control? More... us? I scrubbed shampoo into my hair with unnecessary force. The man was infuriating. One minute, it was all business; the next, looking at me with those intense eyes that made my knees weak. And now he wanted to make our arrangement public? Absolutely not. "Just a contract," I reminded myself, rinsing my hair. "Just business." But business deals didn't usually involve meeting mothers or late-night whiskey conversations or the way his hand felt at the small of my back. I groaned, turning my face directly into the spra

    MadisonI woke to the sound of clattering in the kitchen. Sunlight streamed through my curtains as I squinted at my phone. 7:13 AM. I groaned, burying my face in my pillow for a moment before another crash jolted me fully awake. "Mom?" I called, throwing back the covers and padding toward the kitchen. I found her standing amid an array of pots and pans, looking slightly guilty. "Morning, sweetheart!" she said with excessive cheer. "I was just going to make us some breakfast." I crossed my arms, leaning against the doorframe. "What happened to resting?" "I've been resting for weeks in that hospital. I'm fine." She reached for a mixing bowl, wincing slightly as she stretched. "Uh-huh." I moved forward, gently taking the bowl from her hands. "Sit. I'll make breakfast." "Madison, I'm perfectly capable—" "Dr. Williams specifically said you need to rest for at least two to three weeks." I guided her toward a chair at the small kitchen table. "No cooking, no cleaning, no strenuous ac

    MadisonThe rest of the meal passed with a few more snippets of conversation, mostly about mundane things: the weather, a new movie Mom wanted to see, and the neighbor's dog that wouldn't stop barking. After dinner, I cleared the table and began washing the dishes. The warm, soapy water was a welcome distraction from my swirling thoughts, and the rhythmic motion of scrubbing the plates offered a semblance of peace. Mom, meanwhile, settled on the couch with one of her beloved mystery novels, her glasses perched at the tip of her nose as she lost herself in the pages. "I think I'm going to turn in early," I announced, drying the last plate. "It's been a long day." "Jet lag catching up with you?" Mom asked without looking up from her book. "Something like that." "Sleep well, sweetheart." I retreated to my bedroom, closing the door behind me with a soft click. After the luxury of Alexander's penthouse, the familiar space felt both comforting and confining. I changed into my pajamas
