Beneath His Cold Vows

First-Person POV Contemporary CEO Heir/Heirness Ruthless Contract Marriage Regret Second Chance

9.9

She married him to save her sister’s life. He married her to save his crown. For two years, Alicia kept her vows and her silence--until the night Edward Valentine asked for an open marriage and stepped back into the orbit of the woman he once called his first love. When her sister collapses and Alicia faces the worst alone, she finally sees the truth: beneath his cold vows, there was never a heart for her at all. But distance cuts deeper than anger. And when the life he built without love starts to crack, Edward learns the cost of the wife he treated like a stranger. Now the man who never begged may have to. If she’s still there to listen.

I don't know when I stopped watching the door and started watching him. My neck had found the edge of the bed frame at some point and stayed there. My back ached. My eyes had gone dry from hours of blinking too little. The kind of exhaustion that burrows so deep it stops feeling like tiredness and
