Tangled in His Web CHAPTER 78 — What He Never Said
Alexander Knight didn’t answer immediately.The message sat on his screen, glowing against the darkness of his office.We need to talk. No silence. No protection. Just truth.For years, Alex had negotiated hostile takeovers, dismantled billion-dollar threats, and stared down men who built their lives on destruction.None of that felt as terrifying as this moment.Because Lily wasn’t asking for strategy.She was asking for honesty.And honesty meant surrendering control.He locked his phone, stood, and moved toward the window. The city below pulsed with careless life, people unaware of how fragile everything really was.He had always believed that if he carried the weight alone, others wouldn’t have to bend under it.But Lily had bent anyway.Because of him.Alex unlocked the phone again and typed only one line.Tell me where you are. I’m coming.____________Sebastian’s Place — An Hour LaterLily heard the elevator doors open long before the knock came.Her spine straightened instinct
Tangled in His Web CHAPTER 77 — Her Silence, His Reckoning
Alexander Knight stared at his phone long after the boardroom emptied.The glass walls reflected only him now—one man standing in a room built for power, control, certainty. The city outside glowed indifferent, traffic threading through streets like veins carrying life that had nothing to do with his war.The screen stayed dark.No answer.No rejection either.Just silence.And for the first time in years, silence didn’t feel like something he could command.He exhaled slowly and set the phone down, fingers lingering against the polished surface of the table. His pulse was steady, but something beneath it—something older, more dangerous—was stirring.He had exposed Elara.Not completely. Not yet.But enough.Enough to provoke her.And that meant Lily was no longer standing near the battlefield.She was standing in the center of it.Alex closed his eyes briefly.I should have told you.The thought returned, heavy and merciless.He had spent years convincing himself that withholding inf
Tangled in His Web CHAPTER 76 — The Boardroom Trap
The boardroom at Knight Enterprises had always been designed to intimidate.Floor-to-ceiling glass walls overlooked the city like a silent warning. The table—polished black stone—reflected faces back at themselves, forcing anyone seated there to confront their own expressions. Power lived in this room. Decisions that ruined companies and built empires were made here with calm voices and steady hands.Alexander Knight stood at the head of the table, jacket perfectly pressed, posture immaculate.Inside, everything was coiled.He had called this meeting himself—technically.Elara had requested it. Urgently. Dramatically. With just enough vagueness to force compliance. Alex had agreed without hesitation, because hesitation was exactly what she wanted.The board members filtered in one by one, murmuring greetings, shuffling papers, unaware they were stepping into a carefully laid snare.Elara Wainwright Carter entered last.She wore ivory.Not black. Not gray. Ivory—soft, expensive, disarm
Tangled in His Web CHAPTER 75 — Lines of War
The first thing Lily realized was that the documents didn’t lie.They didn’t shout either.They sat there quietly on the screen in front of her, rows of transactions, timestamps, offshore accounts, shell companies nested inside other shell companies like a Russian doll of corruption. Nothing dramatic. Nothing obvious.That was what made them terrifying.Sebastian stood a few feet away, arms folded loosely, watching her without hovering. He had learned long ago that pressure made people defensive. Space made them honest.Lily scrolled slowly, forcing herself not to skim.She had always been good with details. Elara had beaten that into her—not literally, never in ways that left visible marks, but through constant correction, constant scrutiny.Read it again. You missed something. Careless girls make mistakes.So Lily read everything twice.Then a third time.Her jaw tightened.“These transfers,” she said at last, tapping the screen, “they’re staggered. Not large enough individually t
Tangled in His Web CHAPTER 74 — Under Her Skin
Lily Carter did not cry when she stepped into Sebastian’s car.That surprised her more than anything else.She had cried enough in her life—quietly, behind locked doors, into pillows that never told anyone what they heard. Elara had taught her early that tears were a weakness, something to be punished or mocked or weaponized later.So Lily learned control.And tonight, control was the only thing holding her upright.The car door closed with a soft, final click, sealing her inside a space that smelled faintly of leather and cold air. The city lights slid across the darkened windows as the vehicle pulled away from the curb, smooth and deliberate.Sebastian sat beside her, his posture relaxed, his expression unreadable. He didn’t look at her right away. He didn’t rush to speak. He knew better.Silence had always been one of his sharpest tools.Lily stared straight ahead, hands folded tightly in her lap, nails pressing crescents into her skin. Her heartbeat was steady—not calm, but contro
Tangled in His Web CHAPTER 73 — The Truth He Buried
Alexander Knight didn’t go home.He sat in his office long after the city dimmed outside the glass walls of Knight Enterprises, the skyline reduced to flickering reflections on the floor. The silence pressed in on him, thick and relentless.Lily’s voice replayed in his head.I need to understand my life without someone deciding what I can handle.He leaned back in his chair, staring at the ceiling as if it might collapse under the weight of everything he had buried.For years, he had convinced himself that silence was strength.That knowing less kept people alive.His phone lay untouched on the desk. No messages. No missed calls.He deserved that.Alex stood abruptly and crossed the office, stopping in front of the locked cabinet beneath the window. He crouched, entering a code he hadn’t used in years.The drawer slid open with a soft click.Inside lay a thin black folder.Dust coated its edges.He pulled it out slowly, like it might burn him.Berlin.The word alone tightened his ches
