CHAPTER 11 ~ GOSSIP

ALEXANDRA’S POVI turned around and walked away from the massive glass desk. I reached out, grabbed the cold metal handle, and pulled the heavy oak door open. I stepped out of the private executive office and walked directly past Margaret’s reception desk without saying a single word. I pressed the call button for the elevator, stepped inside the empty metal car, and rode back down to the forty-second floor.My hands physically shook as I stepped out of the elevator and entered the loud data analytics department. I ignored the staring eyes of the other employees. I walked straight into the small supply closet located near the employee breakroom. I grabbed a medium-sized brown cardboard box from the top metal shelf. I unfolded the cardboard flaps and pushed the bottom edges together to construct the square box. I carried the empty container across the carpeted floor and placed it flat on the surface of my small corner desk.I began packing my personal belongings immediately. I wanted t

CHAPTER 12 ~ VICTORIA

ALEXANDRA’S POVI quickly moved my right hand over my black computer mouse. I clicked the save icon located at the top of my digital spreadsheet to ensure my complex mathematical formulas were securely stored on the corporate server. I pushed my wide leather chair backward and stood up from my heavy oak desk. I pushed my thick black-framed glasses up the bridge of my nose and looked across the ten feet of empty space.Maximilian held the black office telephone against his right ear. He spoke directly to the manager of a luxury Italian restaurant located on the ground floor of the corporate skyscraper. He explicitly ordered two large bowls of hot tomato soup, a basket of thick garlic bread, and two massive plates of creamy fettuccine Alfredo pasta. He placed the telephone receiver back onto the metal base and stood up from his clear glass desk."Walk over to the small glass table in the corner of the room, Alexandra," Maximilian instructed, pointing his large hand toward a circular tab

CHAPTER 13 - JUDGEMENT

The heavy silence hung in the massive office while Victoria Volkov glared down at my half-eaten plate of creamy pasta, and I could feel the harsh judgment radiating from her sharp eyes.She dragged her gaze over my thick waist and my cheap navy blue pencil skirt with clear disgust, making my stomach twist into painful knots.I squeezed my hands together in my lap until my knuckles turned white under the bright fluorescent lighting because I was terrified of speaking to her.Maximilian stood perfectly still near his glass desk, and he waited for me to answer his mother instead of stepping forward to rescue me.He kept his large hands tucked inside his dark suit pockets, and his intense gray eyes silently commanded me to fight my own battle.I swallowed the dry lump in my throat and pushed my black-framed glasses up the bridge of my sweating nose so I could see the spreadsheet clearly."M-ma'am, the predictive algorithm was..." I started to say, but my voice broke into a pathetic, tremb

CHAPTER 14 ~ CEO SHATTERS

The heavy oak doors slammed shut behind my mother with a loud bang that rattled the tall glass windows of my office.I stood behind my desk and stared at the empty space where Victoria had just been standing.A deep surge of genuine pride swelled inside my chest because my beautiful lead analyst had just dismantled a billionaire board member using nothing but raw numbers.My mother rarely lost an argument to anyone in the corporate world, yet a twenty-three-year-old intern had just forced her into a humiliated retreat.I wanted to praise Alexandra for holding her ground so well.I turned away from the door and looked across the gray carpet to see the brilliant woman who had just saved my company forty million dollars.I expected to see a confident smile on her face, but a loud smacking sound echoed through the quiet room instead.The black leather presentation folder slipped out of Alexandra's hands and hit the glass table hard.She slumped forward in the wide leather chair while her

15 - LIFE BACK

Max's deep voice vibrated against my ear when he whispered those intense words into my hair.The paralyzing fear drained out of my tense spine because I finally realized he was not going to yell at me for making a scene.I stopped holding my shoulders in a rigid line and let my heavy body melt into the firm warmth of his chest.I rested my cheek against the crisp cotton of his white dress shirt while I listened to the steady, reassuring thumping of his heart.He smelled like expensive cedar wood mixed with a clean, sharp soap that made me want to close my eyes and hide from the world forever.David used to shove me away and call me dramatic whenever I cried, but Maximilian just tightened his massive arms around my waist to hold me closer.Standing here in this quiet corner office was the safest I had ever felt in my whole life, and I never wanted the moment to end.I stayed there for a long time while the lingering echoes of my panic attack slowly faded into a dull, exhausted ache in

16 - MAYBACK

Alexandra hesitated for a second longer before she took a deep breath and slid into the soft leather passenger seat of my Maybach.I reached out to push the heavy car door shut so she was safely secured inside the luxurious cabin away from the cold air of the underground garage.I walked around the front grille of the sleek vehicle and climbed into the driver's seat while adjusting my suit jacket to give myself room to breathe.The quiet interior of the car blocked out the echoing sounds of the concrete parking structure the second I pulled my door closed.I pressed the ignition button to wake up the silent engine and gripped the smooth leather steering wheel with both of my hands.Alexandra kept her head turned toward the tinted passenger window while I navigated the large car out of the VIP section and drove up the concrete ramp toward the exit.We pulled out onto the busy Chicago streets where the gray afternoon sky matched the lingering gloomy tension inside my chest.I merged int

17 - CONVICTION

Alexandra sniffled quietly and wiped her nose with the back of her hand."You don't have to say nice things just to make me feel better, Max," she muttered while staring out the side window at the passing buildings."I never say things I do not mean, and I never waste my breath on pity," I fired back instantly without raising my voice.I needed to undo the decades of psychological damage those people had inflicted upon her, and I knew I had to be relentless about the truth."Your curves are absolute perfection, and I meant every single word I said when I told you I wanted to wake up next to you."She whipped her head around to look at me, and I could see the shock widening her dark eyes behind her thick glasses."Y-you were just teasing me this morning to make me feel less awkward in your kitchen," she stammered out with a heavy blush staining her cheeks."I do not joke about the things I want, Alexandra, and I want you," I declared while navigating the large vehicle around a slow-mov

18 - VIPER STRIKES

I kept my trembling fingers wrapped tightly around the dark fabric of Maximilian's suit sleeve because the sudden sight of my ex-boyfriend on the sidewalk made my blood run cold."Oh sh-shit, Max, it's David," I stuttered out while pressing my back firmly against the soft leather passenger seat to put as much distance between myself and the window as possible.I watched the man who had tormented me for years stumble across the cracked pavement, and a fresh wave of panic tightened my chest until I could barely draw a proper breath.David kicked a rusted metal trash can into the busy street with a loud shout, and he nearly lost his footing on the uneven curb before catching his balance against the dirty brick wall.He lifted a cheap brown liquor bottle to his mouth and took a long drink while his bloodshot eyes scanned the empty sidewalk around our apartment building."Please, let's just put the car in reverse and drive away right now before he sees us," I begged Maximilian with a despe

19 - MINE

I threw my car door open and stepped out onto the cracked concrete before David could strike the passenger window again."Lock the doors right now and do not open them for anyone," I ordered Alexandra while keeping my voice steady to help her stay calm.I pushed the heavy metal door shut behind me, and the loud click of the automatic locks confirmed she was sealed safely inside the bulletproof cabin.The cold Chicago wind hit my face the second my dress shoes touched the dirty street, but the freezing temperature did nothing to cool the boiling rage inside my chest.I stood up to my full height and stared at the pathetic man who was still screaming vile insults through the tinted glass of my luxury vehicle.David raised his dirty fists to pound on the window again, so I decided it was time to redirect his drunken attention away from the woman I loved.I did not rush around the front bumper or shout angry threats because I wanted him to see exactly how little I respected him.I walked

20 - frantic

I pressed my hands flat against the cold tinted glass of the passenger window while my heart hammered a frantic rhythm against my ribs.I watched Maximilian lean down over David's kneeling form, but the thick soundproofing of the luxury vehicle blocked out whatever lethal words my boss was whispering into the cold air.David let out another muffled scream that barely reached my ears, and he curled his body forward until his forehead touched the dirty pavement.He cradled his broken right wrist against his chest while his shoulders shook with heavy, pathetic sobs.A few minutes ago, I was terrified that David would find a way to hurt us both because he always used his loud voice and angry fists to get exactly what he wanted.Now, the man who had tormented me for three years was crying on the sidewalk in a puddle of spilled alcohol.I stared at the brutal scene unfolding outside, and a deep wave of pure awe washed over my trembling body.Maximilian simply stood up from his crouched posi
