Madison

The weekend arrived with unexpected sunshine and a sense of anticipation. Mom and I packed overnight bags and set off for Connecticut in a rental car.

"It feels like an adventure," Mom said as we drove out of the city. "I haven't been on a road trip in years."

I smiled, feeling the tension of the past weeks begin to fade. "Me neither."

The drive was pleasant, the countryside gradually replacing the urban landscape. We listened to oldies radio, singing along to songs we both knew by heart.

Our first stop was a small colonial-style house in a quiet neighborhood.

"It's charming," Mom said as we pulled up.

The realtor, a cheerful woman named Linda, showed us around the property. Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious kitchen, and a backyard that made Mom's eyes light up.

"I could plant a garden here," she said, looking out at the empty space.

"It's a great starter home," Linda assured us.

We visited three more properties that day, each with its own charm. By the end, w

    MadisonThe afternoon dragged on. I kept my head down, avoided the executive floor, and worked methodically through my tasks. By five o'clock, I had cleaned out my personal items from my desk and organized all my files. I took one final look around my office, then walked to the elevator. As the doors closed, I felt a weight lift from my shoulders. Whatever came next, I was ready. At home, I found Mom in the kitchen, humming as she stirred something that smelled delicious. "You're home early," she noted, glancing up from the pot. "I had a light day." I set my bag down. "That smells amazing." "Just beef stew. Nothing fancy." She turned down the heat. "Are you alright? You look... different." I hesitated. "Mom, we need to talk." Her face immediately creased with concern. "What's wrong? Is it Alexander?" "Sort of." I sat at the kitchen table. "I've been thinking about making some changes." "What kind of changes?" "Big ones. I'm considering leaving Knight Industries. And maybe Ne

    MadisonI stared at my phone for the tenth time in an hour. Still nothing from Alexander. It had been three days since I'd sent the text about my pregnancy, and I was getting angrier by the minute. My phone rang, startling me so badly I nearly dropped it. My heart leapt, then immediately sank when I saw Hazel's name instead of Alexander's. "Hey," I answered, not bothering to hide the disappointment in my voice. "Whoa, who died?" Hazel asked. "You sound terrible." "Thanks for the vote of confidence." "Seriously, Mads. What's wrong? You've been MIA for days. I've been texting you." I sighed, looking around my empty apartment. Mom was at physical therapy, which meant I could speak freely. "If I tell you something, you have to swear not to freak out." "That's literally asking me to freak out, but okay. I swear." I took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." The silence on the other end lasted so long I checked to make sure the call hadn't dropped. "Hazel?" "Holy shit." Her voice had d

    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.
