All Chapters of Tangled in His Web: Chapter 1 - Chapter 8

The sun had barely risen over Los Angeles when Alexander Knight strode into the sleek, glass-encased headquarters of Knight Enterprises. The city was alive, but inside his domain, everything operated like a well-oiled machine—silent, efficient, and devoid of chaos. Just the way he liked it.Dressed in a tailored black suit that fit his tall, athletic frame to perfection, Alex exuded power with every step. Employees straightened when they saw him, murmured greetings that he barely acknowledged, and some even held their breath as he passed. His presence was a force of nature—cold, calculated, and unshakable.As he approached the executive floor, his assistant, Rachel, hurried to match his long strides. "Your 8 a.m. meeting with the board is confirmed, sir. Mr. Reynolds from the London branch has requested a video call at ten, and the legal department needs your approval on the Parker acquisition contract before noon."Alexander didn’t slow his pace. "Schedule Reynolds for nine. Have leg

Lily Carter stood in front of the elevator doors, clutching a steaming cup of coffee in one hand and her new employee ID in the other.Her heart thumped.She still couldn’t believe she got the job.Alexander Knight actually hired me?To be fair, the man didn’t exactly seem thrilled about it. In fact, his smirk before dismissing her yesterday still gave her goosebumps—not the good kind, but the what-have-I-gotten-myself-into kind.Still, a job was a job, and she needed this one.Squaring her shoulders, she inhaled deeply and stepped inside the elevator. The smooth jazz music did nothing to calm her nerves.Today was the start of her new life—and she was determined to prove Alexander wrong.What’s the worst that could happen?-----------------------The 47th floor of Knight Enterprises was a whole different world.It was nothing like the lower floors, where employees bustled in open cubicles. Up here, the atmosphere was colder, sharper, more powerful.The executive offices were lined wi

Lily stormed into the office, balancing a coffee cup, a folder, and her tote bag while trying not to trip over her own feet.It was only her second day, but she was already convinced that Alexander Knight’s office was a war zone disguised as a corporate empire.Deep breaths, Lily. You survived Day One. You can survive Day Two.She marched straight to her desk, determined to be the model employee today——only to be ambushed by an entire swarm of employees whispering behind their hands.Lily froze.“…Uh. Morning?” she greeted awkwardly.Silence.A few nervous glances were exchanged. A stifled giggle somewhere in the back.Then, Melissa popped out of nowhere, grabbed Lily’s arm, and dragged her to the side."We have a problem," Melissa whispered dramatically.Lily blinked. "Is it a fire? An earthquake? A zombie attack?""Worse."Melissa’s eyes darted around before she leaned in."Office. Gossip."Lily stared. "…Okay, that’s not worse than a zombie attack.""It is here!" Melissa hissed. "

Lily Carter sat at her desk, clutching the sleek company-issued planner like it was a ticking time bomb.Today was different. Today wasn’t about coffee runs or surviving Alexander Knight’s death glares. Today was about her first real assignment: managing his schedule for an upcoming investor meeting that could apparently decide the fate of entire empires.At least, that’s how Melissa put it when she dropped the folder onto Lily’s desk with all the grace of a grim reaper.“Good luck, rookie,” Melissa had whispered, sipping her coffee like she was watching a doomed soldier march off to war. “This is where most assistants crash and burn.”No pressure. None at all.Lily flipped open the planner, scanning the endless sea of appointments, calls, and cryptic acronyms that looked like secret codes.Okay, focus. Breathe. You’ve got this.Except… she didn’t.Because thirty minutes later, Lily realized with soul-crushing horror that she had double-booked Alexander Knight.At the same time.Same
