Alexander Knight ended the call and slipped his phone into his pocket.

He turned. His steps steady, powerful, as he walked back to the observation room.

When the door opened, I was trying to move my left arm. The dull pain in my shoulder blade made my brows knit tightly.

Alexander walked to the bed. His tall frame blocked the harsh overhead light, wrapping me in a shadow—oppressive, yet strangely reassuring.

He did not sit. He looked down at me, his dark eyes calm an

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 190: Sir, I Was Wrong, My Mouth Is Too Much

    Alexander Knight’s Adam’s apple rolled in a slow, deliberate swallow.He clamped his hand around the back of my neck, pulling me toward him until our faces were inches apart."Lisa, if your legs are that weak, sit down and stay still.""Don’t start a fire you aren’t prepared to handle."His nose brushed against my cheek, his voice dropping into a low, magnetic vibration.I took a slow sip of my strawberry smoothie, the corners of my eyes tilting up in a silent challenge.Under the table, the tip of my toe slid up the fine fabric of his charcoal suit trousers.I let it linger right at the hollow of his knee, tapping him lightly."My, my, Professor Knight... where is that legendary stoicism today?""Can’t even handle a little breakfast flirtation?"Alexander let out a dark, velvety chuckle.He took off his gold-rimmed glasses and dropped them on the table with a sharp click, his gaze suddenly turning

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 189: Give Me One More Dose, Baby

    On the other end of the line, Gerald Knight's breathing grew heavy.He didn't immediately cut her off.Lila Bennett knew she had him.The old fox was more paranoid than anyone she had ever met.She struck while the iron was hot, her voice dripping with a calculated, exhausted sincerity."I know you don't trust me. You probably think I'm just stirring the pot, looking for a little payback.""Believe whatever you want.""But I was the one you planted in his shadow. I might have been useless as a spy, but I kept my eyes open.""You know how Alexander moves better than I do.""When he finally decides to strike, he won't leave anything standing.""Not even you."She paused, letting her voice drop into a weary, raspy whisper."That's all I have to say, Sir Gerald.""If you don't believe me, just pretend I had a mental breakdown tonight and ruined your sleep."There was a long, suffocating silence on the other end.

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 188: The Family Name Might Change

    Lila rolled her eyes. Her mind was a mess of disbelief."Plant seeds of doubt? You want me to drive a wedge between them now?"She thought about what she'd heard in that office. Hours of it.The way that man needed her. Craved her. Like he couldn't breathe without her."System, wake up. Alexander Knight's eyes? His heart? They belong to Lisa White.""Plant doubt? With what? My face? My nonexistent game?""They're a married power couple, buffs stacked to the max. And I'm supposed to walk into that? I'm a bronze player asking to get farmed in a pro match.""Going near them now? What, I don't have enough death wishes? Their slaps not loud enough yet?"The system was quiet for a moment.[Host. Negative emotions hinder mission execution.][Based on current plot trajectory and target's psychological profile, standard romantic approach now has a success rate below 10%.]"Oh. 10%. There's a number."Lila laughed at herself."T

    "System..."She screamed into the void. Her voice was raw."I'm done. I can't do this anymore."[Host, please stabilize your emotions. Mission not yet failed. Correction still possible—]"Correction? What's there to correct!"Lila's mind was a scream. She was coming apart."Listen! Just listen! He's in there doing God knows what with another woman!""Alexander Knight? He's basically used goods! His body, his heart—none of it's clean!""Even if I follow the plot and 'win' him back? What's that? A sweet romance?"She imagined it.Years of suffering. Finally, Alexander breaks free from Lisa. Comes to her.Then what?His heart belongs to Lisa. His body's been branded by her.What does that make her?The woman who picks up someone else's leftovers?This wasn't destiny. This wasn't a sweet romance.This was tragedy.Her playing second lead. Watching her man pine for someone else. Forever.

  • His Dad Calls Me Baby   Chapter 186: The Divine Remedy

    My heart felt as though it had been seized by a violent hand, then suddenly released, sending wave after wave of heat through my chest.It was like a firework show going off inside my skull, leaving nothing but a high pitched, electric hum.Alexander Knight was finally speaking like a real human being.I actually lived to see this day.It was the first time I had ever heard him say he loved me.Not liked. Loved.It was so raw, so stripped of his usual armor, that it made my ears burn and my entire body go weak.This man, who usually hid behind ice and cold logic, had finally shredded his mask of restraint.A flood of bittersweet relief and pure, unadulterated joy crashed over me, making my eyes sting with heat.I opened my mouth to say something, anything, but my throat was tight and dry.I blinked hard, forcing back the tears.I wouldn't let him see me cry, even if my heart was screaming."Oh."I managed to let out th

    I stared at his frozen hand. Bubbles of hurt and bitterness rose in my chest.On any other day, I would have melted. Leaned into him. Let him recharge.But today? His need just made the fire inside me burn hotter.My brain knew Lila was full of shit.But that old fear. The one the original plot left behind. It was a hand in the water. Reaching up. Grabbing my ankle.What if the book's power was strong enough to twist even Alexander?What if he held me. Kissed me. And thought of her?I'd been there. Chasing Ethan like a puppet on strings.I wasn't scared of much. But that pull? That mindless, scripted force? That scared me.I'd broken free. I knew how sick it was.I was smart. Rational. But I was also twenty-two.My man? I'd fought for him. Well. We'd found each other.But knowing he could be pulled away by some stupid story? Could I pretend that didn't terrify me?This was my first real love. I'd never been so unsure.

    Alexander Knight was not the only one lying awake that night.10:00 p.m.Under the same dark sky, the neon lights of Nebula Club dazzled the eyes.Ethan Knight leaned back against the booth, twirling a lighter in his hand, listening to Winnie Carter sing a sappy love song.Wes

    I slipped into the driver's seat but didn't fire the engine right away. I leaned back wearily against the seat, picking unconsciously at the steering wheel. Five million dollars sat quietly in my account, and the ashen, defeated faces of the three White family members still lingered viv

    I wiped my hands slowly with a napkin, not even bothering to lift my eyes."Does the young master rule the heavens and earth, or does he rule where people throw their trash?""Besides, digging through the trash is a habit for dogs."My fingers went slack, and the napkin fluttered d

    Alexander raised an eyebrow, his gaze catching on my whitened knuckles."Afraid he'll see?"His voice was low, carrying the casual scrutiny of a man who held all the cards."Since when did Assistant Lisa lose her taste for trouble?"I couldn't let Ethan discover us. Not now.
