A Secretive Deal with My Billionaire Boss Chapter 437
AlexanderShe laughed, the sound hollow and sharp. "Don't be ridiculous. You can't just end it." "Watch me." "Alexander." She moved toward me again, her hands outstretched. "Whatever this is about, we can work through it. We always do. Remember when we fought about the venue? Or the guest list? We figured it out." "This isn't about venues or guest lists." "Then what is it about?" Her voice rose slightly. "Another woman? Is that what this is? Some little distraction caught your eye?" Madison's face flashed through my mind. Not a distraction. Never that. "It's about me not wanting to marry you." Katherine's jaw tightened. "You put this ring on my finger." She held up her hand, the massive diamond catching the light. "You made a commitment." "A mistake." "A mistake?" Her voice went cold, all warmth draining away. "Do you have any idea what my family has already invested in this wedding? The deposits, the arrangements, the announcements? My mother has been planning this for month

Alexander"Why don't we table this discussion for when you're older?" Madison suggested. "Like thirty." "Thirty?" Ethan's eyes went wide. "That's forever away!" "Exactly." She held out her hand. "Come on. We should probably start thinking about heading back to Connecticut soon." "Already?" Ethan's face fell, his excitement deflating like a popped balloon. "But I just got the dinosaurs! And we didn't even finish setting up the habitat yet!" "I know, baby. But we need to get back." "Can't we stay one more day? Please? Just one more day?" "Ethan." "Pleeeease?" I opened my mouth to tell them they should stay. That I'd book them rooms at The Plaza, or they could stay at my penthouse. That Connecticut could wait another day or two. That Ethan needed more time with his dinosaurs, and I needed more time with both of them. My phone buzzed in my pocket. The words died on my tongue as I pulled it out, glancing at the screen. Josephine Miller. My PA. I swiped to answer. "Yes?" "Mr. Kn

AlexanderEthan's face went blank for a second. Processing. Then his eyes widened, shifting from Madison to me and back again. "King Alexander is my dad?" "Yes." "Like, for real? Not pretend?" "For real." Ethan stared at me, his small face serious in a way that looked wrong on a four-year-old. "You're my dad?" I cleared my throat, pushing past the tightness there. "Yeah, buddy. I am." "So why weren't you here before? Sam's dad picks him up from school every day. Where were you?" Madison started to answer, but I held up a hand. This was my question to answer. I shifted on the couch, leaning forward so I could meet Ethan's eyes directly. "I didn't know about you," I said slowly, choosing each word with care. "Your mom tried to tell me, but I never got the message. By the time I found out you existed, you were already four years old." Ethan's brow furrowed, his little face scrunching up. "But why didn't Mom just tell you again?" Madison opened her mouth, but I shook my head s

AlexanderShe studied my face, searching for something. "This isn't about making up for anything. You're his father. You don't have to prove that with expensive gifts." "I'm not trying to prove anything. I just wanted to see him smile." "He smiles plenty without three-hundred-dollar dinosaurs." "Three-fifty." "I heard you the first time." Her lips twitched, almost betraying a smile. She took a breath, her expression shifting to something more thoughtful. "Look, kids appreciate gifts, but too many expensive things at once can actually overwhelm them. They lose the magic of it, you know? Each gift becomes less special when there's always something new and shiny." She paused, studying my face like she was measuring whether I'd take offense. "What I'm saying is, you can definitely give Ethan things. He'd love that. But maybe space them out? One special gift here and there means more than drowning him in toys all at once. That way, each one matters." I processed her words, recognizing

AlexanderI drove home on autopilot, my hands gripping the steering wheel hard enough to make my knuckles white. The city blurred past, all lights and noise I barely registered. My mind was stuck on that hug. The way Madison had frozen in my arms, rigid and uncertain. The way she'd pressed her hands against my chest, not quite pushing me away but not relaxing either. And Ethan. God, Ethan throwing his small arms around my neck like it was the most natural thing in the world. Five years. I'd missed five years of his life. The elevator to my penthouse felt too quiet. Too empty. I stepped inside, and the silence pressed against my chest like a physical weight. The guest room door stood open. I walked over, staring at the rumpled bedding where Ethan had slept. A faint impression remained in the pillow where his head had been. My son had slept here. In my home. For the first time ever. I looked at the photos from the amusement park. That last one in the photo booth. Madison's soft ex

Madison"Come on, sweetheart." I took Ethan's hand, steering him toward the elevator. "Say goodbye to the cloud bed." "Bye, cloud bed!" Ethan waved enthusiastically at the guest room. "I'll miss you!" Alexander followed us, his presence filling the space behind me. The elevator ride down felt endless, Ethan chattering about dinosaurs and tall buildings while I focused on breathing normally. The Bentley waited in the underground garage, all sleek black curves and leather interior that probably cost more than I made in six months. "Can I ride in the front?" Ethan bounced on his toes. "Please, please, please?" "Backseat," I said automatically. "But Mom!" "Backseat, Ethan." Alexander opened the back door, helping Ethan climb in and buckling his seatbelt with surprising competence. "Next time, you can sit in front. When you're taller." "How much taller?" "At least this much." Alexander held his hand several inches above Ethan's head. "I'll grow really fast! I drink milk every da

MadisonHazel's car was still in the driveway when I pulled in. Through the window, I could see her at the kitchen table, laptop open, phone pressed to her ear. She looked exhausted. Inside, the house smelled like cinnamon and vanilla. My mother must have been baking again. "Mommy!" Ethan's shrie

Madison"I'm sure." The memory still stung. That little 'read' notification appearing within seconds. Then nothing. Days of silence that turned into weeks, then months. Hazel was quiet for a moment. "What if something happened? What if he didn't actually see it?" "Stop." I held up a hand. "Don't

Madison"This party is insane," Jackson remarked, popping a chocolate-covered strawberry into his mouth. "Do you guys do this often?" "Knight Industries likes to celebrate success," I explained. "And Alexander's birthday is a company tradition." "Must be nice," Jackson chuckled. "My company's ide

AlexanderI stepped closer, unable to resist the gravitational pull she seemed to exert on me. "If it doesn't matter, why are we still talking about it?" "You're right." She reached for her glass and drained the remaining whiskey. "We shouldn't be talking about it at all." I watched her throat wo
