    **TITLE: Secret Lover**


    Axel’s brow knitted together, a clear sign that his interest was piqued. “Go on,” he urged, leaning slightly forward in his chair, eager to absorb every word.


    Collins let out a deep, resigned sigh before continuing, “She’s a ssic maniptor, you see. But here’s the kicker: you won’t find a single scandal tied to her name…”


    He hesitated for a moment, gauging Axel’s reaction before plunging deeper into the murky waters. “Nevertheless, trust me when I say she’s dangerous. Men—especially younger ones—fall for her charms, and she exploits them for her own selfish gain.”


    The mention of younger victims struck a chord with Axel, igniting his curiosity further. “Younger ones?” he inquired, his voiceced with intrigue.


    “Absolutely. We’re talking college kids, eager interns, even promising athletes. She ys the role of a sugar mommy for them,” Collins stated bluntly, his tone unwavering.


    A bemused chuckle slipped from Axel’s lips, disbelief coloring his expression. “She really did such a thing?”


    Collinsughed on the other end of the line, the sound rich with amusement. “Boss, she’s like a shady Santa us… showering them with gifts, funding their dreams, and then poof! She disappears when her interest wanes or when she spots new targets. But here’s the kicker: she’s a master at keeping her secrets. No photos, no evidence, not even a suspicious shadow lurking in the background.”


    “She sounds like quite the troublemaker. How does she manage to keep them all quiet?” Axel probed, his mind racing with possibilities.


    “Well, most of the boys she toys with don’t speak up. Some are rewarded with cash, while others are simply coerced into silence. She knows exactly who to target… those who can be easily bought or those who won’t dare to fight back once she has something on them. But what’s truly bizarre is how swiftly she shifts her focus when she doesn’t get what she desires.”


    Axel’s tone turned icy as a thought crossed his mind. “And what is it that she wants now?”


    “That’s the thing,” Collins replied, his voice dropping as if sharing a secret. “Rumor has it she’s been trying to cozy up to some big namestely. CEOs, investors… you know, the kind of people who can elevate her status. Maybe she thought you’d be her next trophy.”


    Axel’s expression hardened. “Then if she realized I’m married…”


    “Most likely. And judging by how possessive she can get, your wife might’ve stirred her jealousy just by being in the same room,” Collins added cautiously.


    An ufortable silence stretched between them, the weight of Collins’s words settling heavily in the air.


    Axel’s gaze drifted to the closed door of his office, his thoughts shifting to Evelyn. He imagined her in the bathroom, humming a soft tune as she brushed her hair, blissfully unaware of the lurking threat. For a fleeting moment, the tension eased, but it quickly returned, tightening around his chest like a vise.


    “Collins, that woman was oblivious to the fact that Evelyn is my wife. However, at the charity dinner, she saw me with Evelyn… and then she made a move to target her.”


    “What? Wait a minute, you’re actually attending the charity g?” Collins’s surprise was palpable, almostical. “Boss, I thought you had no ns to show up.”


    Axel felt a rush of disbelief at Collins’s shock. “Where have you been, Collins?” he asked incredulously.


    It was hard for Axel to believe that his hacker had been so out of touch, especially given that Evelyn had be a trending topic online.


    “Boss, I’ve been glued to my coding since noon,pletely oblivious to the outside world,” Collins admitted, his voice trailing off as the sound of rapid keystrokes filled the silence on the line.


    A heavy sigh escaped Axel as he nced at his watch, the minutes ticking away ominously.


    “Alright, keep everything under wraps,” Axel instructed firmly. “If that woman tries to approach Evelyn again, I want to be informed before it happens.”


    “Understood. But you should know… Natalie doesn’t handle rejection well. If she feels humiliated, she might just stir up some trouble,” Collins warned.


    “Let her try,” Axel replied coolly, a steely resolve settling in his voice. “Just ensure she doesn’t get close enough to regret it.”


    Collins chuckled softly, a hint of admiration in his tone. “Copy that. I’ll have my team start working on it tonight.”


    Once the call ended, Axel remained still for a moment, the soft ticking of the clock echoing in the quiet room.


    His fingers lightly tapped against the armrest of his chair as he stared into the dim glow of his office, lost in thought. He had never been one to believe in coincidences—especially not when it involved Evelyn.


    It didn’t take long for a faint sound to break his reverie; the soft patter of footsteps approached from outside.


    Momentster, Evelyn appeared at the door, d in short ck silk pajamas that entuated her graceful figure. Her hair, still slightly damp, curled gently against her back, and her face radiated a warm glow.


    She paused at the threshold, a yful smile dancing on her lips. “Working again?” she asked, her voice soft and inviting.


    Axel rose from his chair, crossing the room towards her, his tie hanging loosely around his neck. “Just a few things I needed to check,” he replied, a hint of distraction in his tone.


    “Hmm. You and yourte-night work,” she teased, narrowing her eyes yfully at him. “I’m sleepy, Axel—”


    Before she could finish her thought, Axel swept her off her feet in one swift motion.


    “Axel!” she gasped,ughter bubbling forth as his arms effortlessly cradled her knees and back. “Put me down!”


    He didn’t even hesitate, a mischievous grin spreading across his face. “Not a chance, Mrs. Knight…” he murmured, amusement dancing in his eyes as he carried her toward their bedroom.


    “Whoa, Mr. Knight, you can’t touch me yet,” she warned, herughter infectious as she squirmed in his embrace. “You still smell like the city. Go wash first!”


    “Thene with me,” he suggested, his voice low and teasing.


    Evelyn’s eyes widened in surprise. “Mr. Knight, in your dreams!”


    How could she possibly wash again? She had just enjoyed a warm bath moments ago.


    He chuckled softly, savoring the faint blush that crept across her cheeks. “Maybe. But I do enjoy dreaming with you.”


    She yfully smacked his shoulder, though herughter betrayed her.


    Axel smiled as he nudged the bedroom door open with his foot, the soft creak of the hinges punctuating the moment.


    As he gently set her down on the bed, his gaze softened, drinking in the sight of her. Evelyn looked up at him, still smiling, her hair cascading across the pillow like silk.


    “Go wash,” she urged again, her tone more tender this time. “Before I kick you out.”


    Axel grinned, his eyes sparkling with mischief. “You can try.”


    “Don’t test me,” she said, attempting to sound fierce, but the yful twinkle in her eyes betrayed her.


    Her mock re only drew him closer, his voice dropping to a soft murmur near her ear. “I mean it, my love…”


    Evelyn yawned again, her eyelids growing heavy. “Good night, Mr. Knight…” she murmured, her voice trailing off as she closed her eyes.


    “Good night, Mrs. Knight,” he replied softly, his toneced with gentle affection as he pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Sleep well; I promise not to tease you again.”


    “Hmmm…”


    As he finally made his way to the bathroom, Evelyn opened her eyes and watched him leave, a smile lingering on her lips.


    The next morning, sunlight poured through the tall windows of their grand home in downtown, illuminating the space in a warm glow.


    Alexander Knight sank into his favorite leather chair, a steaming cup of coffee cradled in his hands, ready to indulge in his usual morning routine.
