A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss Chapter 416
Madison"You can't just make promises to him," I said, keeping my voice low. "He's a kid. He'll hold you to every word." "Good. I meant every word." "Alexander." "What? You want me to lie to him instead? Tell him he can't visit when he clearly wants to?" "I want you to coordinate with me before making plans that involve my son." "Our son." I opened my mouth to argue, then caught sight of Ethan trying to climb onto a chair that was definitely too high. "Excuse me." I moved across the room, catching Ethan just as the chair wobbled dangerously. "Whoa there, Spider-Man. Let's keep our feet on the ground." "But I wanted to see the decorations from up high!" "You can see them just fine from down here." I set him firmly on his feet. "Go find the other kids. I think they're playing with balloons near the stage." "Okay!" He raced off without a backward glance. I watched him disappear into the crowd of balloons and laughing children, my chest tight with a mix of emotions I couldn't

MadisonAlexander's eyes held mine across the crowded venue, and everything else faded. The jazz music, the chatter, and the celebration were happening around us. None of it mattered because he was here. At this party. Why was he here? Had Hazel invited him? Or Oliver? Was he following me? My mind spun, trying to make sense of his presence. Then I spotted Anthony behind him, and pieces started clicking into place. Oliver or Hazel must have invited Anthony, who brought Alexander. But still. The coincidence felt too perfect, too deliberate. Hazel appeared beside me, her hand on my arm. "Breathe, Madison. You look like you're about to pass out." "What is he doing here?" I hissed, my voice low enough that only she could hear. "I invited him." My head snapped toward her. "You what?" "I invited Alexander." Hazel's expression was apologetic but firm. "And before you yell at me, Anthony and Oliver are colleagues. Oliver invited Anthony. They're friends. It would have been weird not t

MadisonWe stepped inside. The apartment was beautiful, all exposed brick and high ceilings, the kind of space that screamed Manhattan money but felt surprisingly warm. "Shoes off, baby," I reminded Ethan. He kicked off his sneakers, leaving them in a pile by the door before racing toward the living room. "Can I play with your books?" "They're on the shelf by the window," Hazel called after him. I followed Hazel into the kitchen, where Oliver stood at the stove, spatula in hand, looking entirely too serious about whatever he was making. "Madison." He turned, his smile genuine. "Good to see you. Coffee? Tea? Something stronger?" "Coffee would be great." "Coming right up." He gestured at the espresso machine. "Hazel insisted we get the fancy one. Said regular coffee wasn't good enough anymore." "It's not fancy, it's quality," Hazel corrected, hopping onto the counter. "There's a difference." Oliver rolled his eyes, but his expression was fond. I settled onto one of the barsto

Madison"YES!" Hazel's shriek nearly deafened me. "Oh my god, this is amazing! You won't regret this, I promise. Well, maybe you'll regret it a little when you meet Oliver's Aunt, but mostly you won't regret it!" "You're selling this really well." "I'm excited! My best friend is coming to New York! This is the best news I've had all week." She paused. "Wait, are you bringing Ethan?" "I guess so. You said it was family friendly." "It is! Perfect! Bring that adorable kid of yours. Oliver will love meeting him again." "Okay." "And Madison? Thank you. Really. This means a lot." The sincerity in her voice made my throat tight. "You're welcome." "I have to go. I'll text you all the details! Love you!" "Love you too." She hung up before I could change my mind. I set down my phone, suddenly aware that both my mother and Ethan were staring at me. "What?" I asked. "You're going to a party!" Ethan bounced in his seat. "Can I come? Aunt Hazel said I could come!" "Yes, you can come."

MadisonI pulled his door almost closed and continued to my room. The bed looked exactly as I'd left it, covers thrown back, pillow still bearing the impression of my head. I climbed in, pulling the blanket up to my chin. My phone glowed on the nightstand. Still no messages. Good. I closed my eyes, forcing my breathing to slow, counting backwards from one hundred like some internet article had suggested for insomnia. Ninety-nine. Ninety-eight. Ninety-seven. Alexander's face appeared behind my eyelids, that almost smile when Ethan had called him "King Alexander." Ninety-six. Ninety-five. His voice at the bistro was rough with emotion. "I miss you. I've missed you for five years." Ninety-four. Ninety-three. The way he'd looked at Ethan, like seeing his son, was both painful and precious simultaneously. I gave up counting. Five days. That's all I had to wait. Five days to see if Alexander Knight would actually follow through on his promises or if this was just another busines

MadisonI filled the kettle, set it on the stove, and watched the blue flame flicker beneath it. Tea. Because that's what responsible adults did when they couldn't sleep, right? Made tea and pretended it helped. The kettle whistled. I poured hot water over a chamomile tea bag, watching it steep as the water turned pale gold. Steam curled upward, disappearing into the dark kitchen. I carried the mug to the table and sat, wrapping my hands around the warmth. Five days. That's what I'd given Alexander. Five days to end his engagement to Katherine publicly. Five days to prove he actually meant what he said. And then what? That was the question keeping me awake, wasn't it? Not whether Alexander would follow through. He would. When Alexander Knight made a promise, he delivered. That much I remembered from our working relationship. No, what kept me staring at the ceiling was what came after. What happened when he returned to Connecticut, free and available? When there was no Katherine
