Madison

I immersed myself in the Manhattan Project for the rest of the afternoon, grateful for the distraction. Most of the team had left by six o'clock, but I remained, reviewing contractor bids and material options.

My phone buzzed with an email notification. From Alexander.

To: Madison Harper

From: Alexander Knight

Subject: Tomorrow's Schedule

I need you to come to my penthouse tomorrow at 9 AM. I want to review the details for the charity gala. Bring your notes on the Manhattan Project as well.

Alexander Knight

CEO, Knight Industries

I stared at the email, my heart racing. His penthouse? Where we'd spent countless nights together? Where he'd touched me, kissed me, made me cry out his name?

I typed and deleted three different responses before settling on a simple:

I'll be there. -MH

Sleep eluded me that night. I tossed and turned, plagued by memories of Alexander's hands on my body, his lips against my skin. By morning, I was exhausted and irritable.

I arrived at his buil

I’m guessing that the dinner Madie was asked to make a reservation is really for her and Alex. Now that Katherine is out… let Alex show Katherine who he loves🥹...️...️...️...

It seems like Alexander is trying to find a way to have Madison by his side. He wanted her to be in his table with his sister and father… and yes with Katherine, but I hope he pays attention to Madie. I hope this includes picking her up from her house.

    MadisonOutside, his Bentley waited at the curb, engine purring softly in the cool night air. The drive to my apartment was quiet, the city lights sliding past the windows in a blur of color. I watched Alexander's profile as he drove, the strong line of his jaw, the slight furrow between his brows as he concentrated on the road. "My mother has been asking about you, Mr. Knight," I said as we neared my building, breaking the silence. His eyebrows lifted slightly. "Has she?" "She wants you to come over again sometime. For breakfast, actually." I fidgeted with the clasp of my clutch. "She makes incredible pancakes." "Pancakes." He repeated the word as if testing it, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. "You don't have to," I added quickly. "I know you're busy. And it's not... I mean, given our current situation, it might be awkward." "Our current situation." "Yes. You know." I gestured vaguely between us. "Professional relationship only." Alexander pulled up in front of

    MadisonAlexander handed his keys to the valet with practiced ease, then turned to me, extending his arm. "Shall we?" I hesitated for a fraction of a second before placing my hand on his forearm. His muscles tensed beneath my touch. "You look nervous, Ms. Harper," he murmured as we approached the entrance. "I don't bite." "Recent evidence suggests otherwise," I said under my breath. The corner of his mouth twitched. "Only when asked." Heat rushed to my cheeks at the memory of the last time I'd "asked." The maître d' recognized Alexander immediately. "Mr. Knight, welcome back. Your table is ready." We were whisked through the restaurant to a secluded corner table partially screened by an elegant partition. Privacy at its finest and most expensive. "Wine?" Alexander asked after we settled. "Yes, please." Maybe alcohol would help me navigate whatever game he was playing. Alexander ordered a bottle of Château Margaux without consulting the wine list. The sommelier nodded approvi

    Madison"Is it?" His voice dropped lower, taking on that dangerous edge that used to make me weak in the knees. Still did, if I was being honest with myself. "Yes. Professional boundaries, remember? Your idea." "Actually, it was your idea to end our arrangement." "Because you were seeing Katherine behind my back!" "I wasn't seeing her. We had business meetings." I snorted. "Business meetings don't require dinner at Le Bernardin." "Sometimes they do." The car stopped at a red light, and Alexander turned to look at me fully. "You look beautiful in that dress." The abrupt change of subject caught me off guard. "I—thank you." "The diamonds suit you." My hand went to the necklace instinctively. "They're not mine." "They could be." The light turned green, and Alexander returned his attention to the road. "What's that supposed to mean?" I asked. "Nothing. Just an observation." We drove in silence for another minute before I realized we weren't heading toward my apartment. "Wher

    MadisonI picked up my champagne glass, draining it in one less-than-ladylike gulp. A waiter materialized at my elbow, offering a replacement. I accepted with a grateful smile. "Thirsty, Ms. Harper?" Alexander's deep voice cut across the table. I met his gaze coolly. "Just enjoying the excellent champagne, Mr. Knight." Katherine draped herself closer to him, her red dress a stark contrast to his black tuxedo. "The 2008 Dom Pérignon is divine, isn't it? Alexander always did have excellent taste." She gave me a pointed once-over. "In most things." I resisted the urge to throw my fresh champagne in her perfect face. Instead, I smiled sweetly. "How fortunate for you that he's maintained his standards." Alexander's eyebrows shot up, amusement flickering across his face before disappearing behind his usual mask of control. Katherine's smile tightened. "Indeed." I checked my watch. Nearly 10 PM. The gala was winding down, donors beginning to make their exits with air-kisses and promis

    MadisonFor the next week, I threw myself into work. Every morning, I arrived early, left late, and was buried in work. Anything to avoid thinking about Alexander Knight and the hollow feeling in my chest. The day of the gala arrived with cruel swiftness. I woke up with a knot of dread in my stomach, knowing I'd have to watch Alexander with Katherine all evening, playing the part of the professional employee while remembering how his hands felt on my body. At noon, a courier delivered a large garment bag to my apartment. I unzipped the bag slowly, revealing a midnight blue gown that took my breath away. The silk fabric shimmered in the light, its deep color reminiscent of the night sky. Strapless with a sweetheart neckline, it hugged the torso before flowing out in a subtle A-line. Tucked into the garment bag was a smaller box containing a diamond necklace and matching earrings that had to be worth at least twenty thousand dollars. So he'd picked the dress himself, not from the r
