"We're pretty casual around here," Ellen explained as she showed me my desk. "No staying until midnight unless there's a genuine emergency, and even then, we'll probably just tell the client to wait until morning."

"That sounds healthy," I said, setting my bag down on my new desk. It was simple but functional. Just a regular office setup with family photos of people I didn't know still in the frames.

Ellen noticed me looking at them. "Oh, those are from the last person who sat here. Feel free to toss them in the drawer or bring your own."

"Thanks." I glanced around at my new coworkers. "So what's our current project load?"

"We've got three major developments in progress," Ellen replied, handing me a folder. "The Riverside apartment complex, the Main Street revitalization, and the Hartford medical center expansion. I'm putting you on Riverside to start."

I flipped through the folder. The project was similar to ones I'd managed at Knight Industries, but at about a quarter of the

    AlexanderI strode through the lobby of Knight Industries, nodding briskly at the security guard. The news of my engagement to Katherine Sinclair had spread like wildfire, and everyone seemed determined to congratulate me. Even the elevator operator gave me a knowing smile. "Congratulations on your engagement, Mr. Knight." "Thank you," I replied automatically, already scrolling through emails on my phone. The doors opened to the executive floor, and I stepped out, expecting to see Madison at her desk. Instead, I found an empty chair, her computer screen dark. The pristine surface of her desk looked wrong without her stack of color-coded folders. I checked my watch: 8:45 AM. Madison was never late. In fact, she typically arrived before me. Strange. I walked to my office. Perhaps she was in the project manager's office downstairs, preparing for the morning meeting. That would explain her absence. A knock interrupted my thoughts. "Come in," I called, loosening my tie slightly. L

    MadisonThe 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
