A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss Chapter 402
Madison"Thank you." I kept my voice neutral and professional. The same tone I'd used when updating him on quarterly reports. Alexander's fingers curled around his coffee cup. "Madison, I was an idiot not to visit you back then. Not to reach out. Not to..." He stopped, his eyes fixed on Ethan. "Think about what I said. About meeting him properly." "I said I'd think about it." "And?" "I'm still thinking." He nodded once, sharp and decisive. Then he straightened, adjusting his jacket in that familiar gesture I'd seen a thousand times before meetings. "I'll be in Connecticut for a while. The development project." "How convenient." "It's legitimate work." His tone carried an edge. "But yes, also convenient." Before I could respond, he turned toward the door. Three steps. Four. Then Ethan happened. My son barreled into Alexander's legs with the force of a tiny meteor. "Oops!" Ethan bounced back, looking up and up at the tall man he'd just collided with. "Sorry, mister!" Alexande

MadisonI poured him a small glass of milk and handed over the cookie, watching as he carefully carried both to a nearby table. My mother followed, settling into the chair beside him. Christopher leaned closer to me, his voice low. "He's adorable. My nephew's six. Into dinosaurs too, actually." He watched Ethan devour his cookie with enthusiasm. "Seems like a good kid." "He is." Pride swelled in my chest, the kind only a parent understood. Christopher's phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and grimaced. "Work. I should take this." "Go ahead." He grabbed his phone and stepped outside. I busied myself wiping down the espresso machine, trying to ignore the knowing look my mother was giving me. "He's nice," she said finally. "Who?" "Christopher. Very polite. Handsome too." "Mom." "I'm just saying." She took a sip of Ethan's milk, earning a protest from my son. "You could do worse." "We're not dating." "You're not? Could have fooled me with all that talk about anniversaries.

MadisonThe familiar routine helped. Steam milk. Pull shots. Wipe counters. Smile at customers. Repeat. Mechanical movements that required no thought, left no room for wondering what Alexander was doing or thinking or planning. Half an hour passed. Then an hour. The café emptied as people headed home for dinner, leaving only a few regulars nursing their drinks and working on laptops. The bell above the door chimed. I looked up automatically, my customer service smile already in place. Christopher Allen stood in the doorway, looking comfortable in his business casual attire. He raised a hand in greeting, his expression warm and familiar. "Hey, Madison." "Christopher." Relief flooded through me. Someone normal. Someone safe. Someone who wasn't Alexander Knight and all the complications that came with him. "Can I get you something?" I asked. "Cappuccino. Extra foam." I moved to the espresso machine, grateful for something to do with my hands. "Thanks for agreeing. I know it's we

Madison"You can't just buy expensive gifts and expect love in return. That's not how it works." I said, feeling the weight of my words settle between us like a chasm. I wanted him to understand this fundamental truth: genuine connection and affection are earned over time, through effort and heartfelt interaction, not through a transaction. "I'm not trying to buy his love. I'm giving a gift with love. There's a difference." "It looks like you're trying to skip the hard parts. The conversations, the explanations, the actual parenting. You think you can just show up with some expensive toy and suddenly you're father of the year?" "That's not what I'm doing." "Then what are you doing?" I demanded. "Because I don't see a plan here. I see a man who just discovered he has a son and thinks material things will fix years of absence." "You're twisting this." "Am I? You bought him a gift before you even met him properly. Before you asked me if that was okay. Before you considered how I mi

Madison"Well, it doesn't matter now. What's done is done." I said finally. "Go home, Mr. Knight. Go back to New York, to Katherine, and to your empire. I'm in love with Christopher. You're wasting your time here." Alexander's expression went carefully blank, that mask he wore during hostile negotiations. "Are you?" "Am I what?" "In love with Christopher." He studied my face. "Really in love with him?" I lifted my chin. "Yes." "You're lying." "I'm not." "You are." He moved closer still. "You're lying about Christopher, Madison. Why?" Heat flooded my cheeks. "I'm not lying. We're together. It's serious." "How serious? Marriage serious? Moving in together serious?" "That's none of your business." "It is if you're using him as a shield." Alexander's voice dropped. "If you're pretending to be with someone just to keep me away." "I'm not pretending." "Then introduce us. Let me meet your boyfriend properly." His eyes challenged me. "Unless you can't because he doesn't actually

Madison"It's a long story." Alexander's jaw tightened. "After the engagement, they…" he paused, "…someone drugged me. I don't remember the next forty-eight hours clearly. Katherine had my phone." The words hit me like ice water. "Katherine had your phone?" "She might have seen it and deleted the message. Or someone else who had access." He met my eyes. "I didn't know you were pregnant, Madison. I promise you, I didn't know." I stared at him, searching for any sign of deception. His eyes were clear, direct, holding my gaze without flinching. "So you're saying Katherine saw that I was pregnant and just... deleted it?" "I don't know. Maybe." Alexander's voice turned hard. "All I know is that I was drugged, unconscious, and when I came to, my phone was missing for hours. By the time I got it back, everything seemed normal." "Normal," I repeated, anger building despite the reasonable explanation. "Let's say that's true. Let's say you really were drugged and Katherine deleted my mess
