"What's on someone else's plate?"I leaned against the tub like a siren, my gaze raking over Alexander Knight as he tore off his soaked button-down shirt. His cold, pale back muscles rippled with sharp, lethal ridges, water streaming down his spine to disappear under his trouser waistband. Every contour of his body screamed raw, unapologetic power."You seemed to savor it just fine a moment ago, sir."Alexander Knight tossed the waterlogged shirt into the hamper, his sideways glance slicing through me like a blade."One taste was enough to know it's tainted."My eyes locked on the beaded droplets clinging to his pectorals, my lips curving into a lazy, predatory smirk. Thirty-two, and the man still had a killer body. Total eye candy, hot as hell. I bit my lower lip, a silent whimper catching in my throat. Just the sight of him was enough to make my skin burn."Your tongue is quite picky, sir. Judging a plate tainted from one lick, dismissing a woman just by her name."I pushed off the t

The gust from me slamming the door hit Ethan and Winnie dead in the face.Ethan stepped back half a step. A blistering, fiery pain seared his cheek, spreading all the way to his ears.His fist clenched midair, knuckles white with restraint. He held back, but the rage simmering in his veins was hard to miss.A hoarse growl rumbled in his throat:"Lisa, you really think you're something now."Ethan gritted his teeth, a bitter helplessness gnawing at him. He was furious, utterly helpless to stop me."Ethan..."Winnie covered her face and leaned in, her eyes rimmed red."Lisa's plastered tonight. Don't waste your breath arguing with her."Ethan's gaze dropped to her. The venom in his eyes softened, if only for a split second.He reached out, his thumb brushing her slightly swollen cheek, slow and deliberate. His voice dropped to a low murmur, unconsciously gentle."Does it hurt?"Winnie shook her head, her lashes fluttering, looking fragile and sweetly compliant."I'm fine."She bit her l

At Knight Group Headquarters, in the CEO's office. Alexander's pen hovered over the last page of the acquisition proposal when his assistant Jasper knocked on the door and entered. "Anything?" Alexander didn't look up, his voice cold. Jasper nodded and handed over a tablet. "Lisa White, 22 years old, graduate of RISD." "The baby who was supposed to be a White got mixed up with the Carters at birth. An unfortunate victim of a hospital mix-up." Jasper finished his report. Alexander's lips twitched, cold amusement flickering in his eyes. "The Carters don't want her, and the Whites disown her?" "A stray with nowhere to go?" "Yes." Jasper pushed up his glasses, his tone calm. "Now the golden child cherished by both families is Winnie Carter, a straight-A student from Harvard Business School." Alexander closed his pen case and looked up at Jasper. "What's her history with Ethan?" Jasper swiped to the next page on the tablet, his tone cautious: "Miss White att

The next day, I was sipping iced Americano through a straw when the salary adjustment email popped up. The after-tax figure of twenty-five thousand US dollars flashed prominently on the screen. I snorted through the coffee straw and tapped the screen with my finger. Raise secured! Next step: Flip the boss's desk! Seeing me grinning so broadly, Clara Hayes couldn't help leaning over. "Lisa, you worked overtime so late last night, but you're still so energetic today. Did you take some magic pills?" I dragged the salary email to the trash. "No magic pills, but the capitalists finally had a change of heart and refilled my health bar." Clara was about to speak when Nancy's office door swung open. "Lisa, come to my office." Clara whispered a warning, leaning in close: "Nurse Nancy got dressed down by Mr. Knight this morning. She’ll probably take it out on you." As she spoke, she crossed herself quickly. "Sister, come back alive." I finished the last sip of iced Americano, wink

Afternoon.Clara Hayes had been temporarily moved to the exhibition hall to help with the initial preparations. I stayed behind in the quiet office, hunched over my laptop refining the exhibition layout—I wanted every detail to be perfect for my upcoming discussion with Alexander.Six twenty. I closed my laptop. My phone buzzed.Clara: [Saved your spot at the table! Hurry, girl!]I fired back a reply, grabbed my bag, and headed out.I stepped out of the office, stretching slightly to work out the stiffness in my shoulders. Before I could take even two steps, I walked right into Ethan Knight's cold, unblinking gaze.Shit. That bastard's here.I pretended not to see him. Tried to slip past.Ethan blocked me with an arm. His shadow loomed over mine, swallowing it entirely.Most people on the 30th floor had already left for the day. The hallway was eerily quiet, the overhead lights casting a cold glow that stretched our shadows long and
