A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss Chapter 371
MadisonI grabbed my purse and headed inside, bracing myself for the inevitable attack hug. "Mommy!" Ethan launched himself off the couch the second I opened the door, his small body colliding with my legs. "Aunt Hazel's here! We're playing crash derby!" "I can see that." I ruffled his hair, shooting Hazel a look over his head. "And I specifically remember someone promising not to get him all wound up." Hazel stood up, brushing off her jeans. "In my defense, he's the one who suggested a crash derby. I was perfectly content with quiet coloring." "Liar." "Fine." She grinned. "But look how happy he is." She wasn't wrong. Ethan was practically vibrating with excitement, already tugging me toward his elaborate truck setup. "Mommy, you have to be the police. Aunt Hazel was the police, but she keeps letting the bad guys escape." "That's because the bad guys deserve freedom," Hazel declared dramatically. "No, they don't! Bad guys go to jail!" I set down my purse, letting their bante

MadisonI stared at the spot where Alexander's Aston Martin had been parked moments before, my hands trembling as I gripped the doorframe. Five years. Five years of silence, and he showed up here like it was nothing. Like he hadn't abandoned me when I needed him most. "Madison?" Christopher's voice pulled me back. "You okay? That guy seemed intense." I forced a smile and turned back to the café. "I'm fine. Just an old boss from New York." "Just a boss?" Christopher's eyebrow lifted. "He looked at you like you were the only person in the world." "He's engaged," I said flatly, moving behind the counter. "And my break's over." Christopher opened his mouth like he wanted to press further, but wisely closed it. We'd been on exactly one date last month, which I'd ended early with a polite but firm rejection of his goodnight kiss attempt. He was nice enough, successful enough, attractive enough. But he wasn't... No. I wasn't going there. I threw myself into work, wiping down already-c

AlexanderMadison stared at me, her mouth a tight line. She leaned back in her chair and folded her arms. For a long moment, she simply observed me, the way she used to study complicated contracts before finding their fatal flaws. "You drove all the way from New York," she finally said, her voice cool and measured, "wasting your precious CEO time, just to ask why I left the job five years ago?" She shook her head. "Go home, Mr. Knight. Go back to your wife. I'm sure Katherine is wondering where you are." I flinched at her assumption. "Wife? I'm not married." "Fiancée, wife, whatever." She waved dismissively. "The point is, I'm just an ex-employee. You've wasted your time coming here." "I'm not married," I repeated, leaning forward. "Katherine and I never went through with it." "Still engaged after five years? How modern of you." Her tone was dry as desert sand. "Regardless, it doesn't change anything. I don't want to talk about why I left." "Why not?" "To be precise, I don't ev

AlexanderMadison tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, laughing at something the man said. She looked radiant. Happy. Free. Then her eyes met mine. The laughter died on her lips. She froze, one hand still hovering near her hair, the other clutching her purse. Even from this distance, I could see the color drain from her face. Five years melted away in that single moment. Madison said something to the man, her eyes never leaving mine. He glanced in my direction, frowned slightly, then nodded and headed into the café. We stood there, twenty feet apart, staring at each other like gunslingers at high noon. Cars passed. People walked by. The world continued turning while we remained locked in our private standoff. She blinked first, breaking the spell. Without a word, she turned toward the café door. "Madison," I called, closing the distance between us in a few quick strides. She paused, hand on the door, jaw tight. Her shoulders rose and fell with a deep breath before she turne

AlexanderThe highway stretched before me, concrete and asphalt blurring beneath my tires as I pushed the Aston Martin to uncomfortable speeds. My knuckles whitened around the steering wheel while my mind raced faster than the car. What the hell was I doing? Chasing after a woman who'd walked away without so much as a goodbye? "This is beneath you, Alexander," I muttered, easing off the accelerator slightly as I passed a state trooper. The last thing I needed was to explain to some cop why New York's most eligible bachelor was speeding to Connecticut like a teenager late for prom. The GPS informed me I was thirty minutes from my destination. My stomach clenched in a way it hadn't since my first major acquisition meeting. Alexander Knight, nervous about seeing a former employee. Pathetic. I flipped through radio stations, unable to settle on anything. Classical. Pop. Talk radio. Nothing could distract me from the ridiculous errand I'd embarked upon. "Harper's Haven," I said aloud,

AlexanderI ended the call and tossed the phone onto my desk. Madison Harper. Running a café in Connecticut. Five years without a word. No calls, no emails, not even a damn text. Just gone, like she'd never existed except in my memories and the occasional dreams I refused to acknowledge. "Harper's Haven," I muttered. What kind of name was that for a café? Too cutesy. Too small-town. Too... Madison, actually. I could almost see her, standing behind a counter, serving coffee with that small smile she used to reserve for moments when she thought I wasn't looking. I shook my head, trying to clear the image. This was ridiculous. I was Alexander Knight, CEO of Knight Industries. I had an empire to run, deals to close, a fiancée to... Ah, yes, Katherine. My eternally patient fiancée. Patient wasn't exactly the right word. Distracted was more accurate. We both were. Our engagement had become a comfortable arrangement. She had access to the Knight name for her fashion line, and I had a s
