Hunter frowns, visibly thrown. “Mateo knows Knox?” “Don’t pretend you don’t know.” “I…don’t.” We stare at each other. His gaze doesn’t waver. “So he didn’t give you any reason why you should promote me?” I ask. “Mateo had nothing to do with it. We talked about reviewing employees’ files, and yours stood out. I made…

“You… impregnated your sister?” His face twists. “She’s not my sister. She’s my mother’s late friend’s child. We were raised together, but that doesn’t make us blood.” I don’t respond right away. My hand is still on the car door, but I haven’t moved to open it. “And no,” he says. “The boy’s not mine.”…

Her eyes land on me, and they narrow with instantaneous contempt. “What the hell are you doing here?” “Victoria,” I say with a tight smile. “A pleasure.” “I don’t want you here. Get out. Now.”…

He walks to me and places a warm hand around my arm, steering me toward the door. “Now would be a good time to start talking,” I continue. “Who’s after me?” He doesn’t say anything until we’re inside. The moment the door clicks shut, I toe off my shoes. Knox does the same, as meticulous…

“AA?” My eyebrows go up. “Since when did you become an alcoholic?” “Oh, I’m not,” he says, stepping back slightly but not letting me through. “I tried therapy. It sucked. All those questions. And the judgment? Yuck. But these people just sit in a circle and say the darkest shit. Like, I hate my best…

“Attitude?” I manage. “You’re the one throwing a tantrum because you saw a ghost from the past.” ??/p> “The only thing I’ll be throwing is you over my lap for a spanking.” Heat travels from my neck down south. His fingers are moving, brushing over the tendons in my neck, and my p?lse flutters against…

Which, honestly, isn’t that surprising. Top execs move like shadows in this place. They take the private elevator, have their own entrances, their own goddamn alt, probably. The rest of us? We stay tethered to the lower floors, doing all the real work while t polished alternate dimension, So what the hell is this? Why…

He grins. “Why would I want to keep a girl who doesn’t like what I do for a living? I bet you haven’t told her about the times you used to indulge, fight? How you got the old man to sell this place to you?” “We’re not having this conversation, Levi.” “You’re gonna regret it.”…
