She said it calmly, her tone steady when she looked at Alexander and spoke.
For some reason, though,
She waited for him to respond.

After more than ten seconds, Alexander frowned slightly. “Unless something completely unexpected happens, I have no plans to get divorced anytime in the next few decades.”
“Oh?”
She did not believe that.
No one could predict what would happen years from now, could they?

Alexander kept looking at her. Her features were as gentle as ever, but there was a distance in her eyes that hadn’t been there before. A beat later, he seemed to understand.
“Fiona is my secretary. We work closely, and yes, we get along well, but there is nothing inappropriate between us,” he said evenly. “We’re married. Mrs. Kingsley, if you’re unhappy about something, you can say it. Taking it out on your own body is childish.”
He had seen through her.
Elena cleared her throat, suddenly self–conscious. “Who said I was upset? And who told you I’m unhappy because of her? Forget it. I’m hungry. I’m going to eat.”
She genuinely was hungry.
She had dealt with too much today, including another round of Nathan’s ridiculous behavior.
All she wanted now was food.
She pushed back the blanket and tried to get out of bed, but before she could, Alexander pulled her back and settled her onto his lap.
She caught the scent of his shower gel, clean and understated, mixed with the faint trace of alcohol that had not fully faded.

“That smells awful.”
She leaned back slightly, avoiding the lingering scent of liquor.
“I won’t drink next time.”
In truth, he rarely drank. Tonight had been an exception.
“What did Nathan want?”

Elena found the dynamic strange. They were already married, yet he had never stopped her from seeing Nathan.

“Camille is pregnant. Nathan wants to reconcile with me for the sake of the shares. He even said he wants Camille to keep the baby and have me raise it with him.”
She almost laughed saying it. What had she seen in Nathan back then?
“We can have our own child.”
Alexander’s brows drew together.
Elena went quiet. That was what he focused on?
She had never even thought about having a child with him. Besides, after his car accident, she had heard certain quiet rumors that he might have difficulty fathering a child naturally. It was the kind of thing that struck at a man’s pride, so she had never asked.
“Lydia told me Velmora Media is bringing in a new executive president. That’s me?”
She remembered something important.
“Yes.”
His hand moved lightly along her waist.
“You didn’t tell me in advance.” She frowned and gently removed his hand.

en she thought about it, there was something thrilling about that.
His hand moved again, higher this time. She caught it and pushed it away firmly. “Food first. I’m starving.”
She stood and left the bedroom.

A faint smile curved Alexander’s lips as he followed.
Martha had been waiting downstairs anxiously. When she saw them come down together, she quickly brought out the reheated dishes and soup. She had expected tension, but instead they sat across from each other as if nothing had happened.
Elena took a few spoonfuls of the soup. Martha’s cooking was excellent. It was smooth and comforting, the kind that warmed you from the inside out.
She had just finished eating and was about to ask Alexander about seeing his name earlier at Grant’s place when his phone rang.
She glanced up. It was Fiona.
“What is it?” Alexander set down his spoon and answered.
“I’m up. I’m eating… Yes, just follow the schedule. If anything’s unclear, check with Ryan.”

It sounded like work. After a few short responses, he hung up.
“I’m full. I’m going upstairs. Good night.”
Elena put down her spoon and went up.
This time she did not head to the guest room. She returned to the master bedroom.

Alexander came in shortly after. He looked at her lying on the bed, lifted the blanket, and lay down. His arm slid around her and pulled her into his chest.
“I don’t like sleeping like this,” she muttered. “You’re lying on my hair.”
He freed her hair but did not loosen his hold.
“I can’t fall asleep like this.”
“You’ll get used to it.” He sounded perfectly reasonable.
Elena was speechle
Isn’t Alexander supposed to be distant and cold? The man people talk about doesn’t match the one next to her at all.
The next morning, Alexander arrived at Pinnacle Group.
He had barely stepped into his office when Fiona walked in with a tablet in hand. “Mr. Kingsley, here’s today’s schedule. Could you take a look and see if anything needs adjusting?”
