His words stung. I clenched my fists, but I forced myself to pause. Getting angry wouldn’t help. I needed to see this from his perspective. To him, I probably looked like I was sabotaging his future out of spite, out of some petty grudge against Conrad and Marceline. I could understand why he would think that. It wasn’t easy to turn down a chance like this, especially when we had spent years worrying about money.
So I softened my voice, doing my best to keep calm. “Liam,” I said, “you may have noticed by now, but I’m planning to leave Conrad.”
Liam’s brows shot up slightly, but he didn’t interrupt.
“When I tried to serve him divorce papers,” I continued, “he changed in the blink of an eye. He used the fact that he paid for Mom’s cancer treatments a

Abigail The air outside was warm with candlelight and music, a gentle hum of conversation weaving through the night. I could feel Alexander’s presence beside me, solid, and imposing,and yet, somehow, all eyes were on me. I didn’t need to glance around to know. I felt their gazes like pinpricks against my skin. Whispers stirred as we stepped onto the terrace, the stone beneath my heels clicking lightly with each step, my hand poised elegantly on Alexander’s arm. I smiled, calm and gracious, as if I belonged to this glittering world and had never left it. In truth, my stomach fluttered. Nerves rippled just under the surface of my skin, but I kept them on a tight leash. I had rehearsed this entrance in my mind a dozen times, calculated every gesture, and every glance. I swept my gaze slowly across the yard, my eyes grazing over shimmery gowns, slick tuxedos, and glinting champagne flutes. Every face turned toward us and every breath seemed to pause. Even from across the expanse of t

Marceline One hour agoThe champagne stung slightly as it slid down my throat, but I welcomed the burn. It was sharp, dry, and expensive, just the way I liked it. I licked a trace of it off my bottom lip and set the empty flute down on a server’s tray in favor of a fresh one. My eyes slid sideways toward the man beside me; Judge Jeremiah Foundling. He had long since retired but still wielded influence over more than a few key courtrooms. He was saying something about the city’s ongoing ethics scandals. I nodded politely, adding a soft, "Mm, dreadful," as if I cared. I didn’t.I cared more about his daughter, that perfectly poised little thing with bright eyes and a law degree from Oxford, clearly eager to impress and, more importantly, eager to marry up. If she was here tonight and she must be, surely, then perhaps I should point her toward Conrad. A bright, beautiful little thing like her might keep him pliable and easier to manage when he believed he was in control. She was just h

Alexander The moment we stepped into the venue, I could feel the weight of every gaze turning toward us, a combination of q thousand curious, glittering eyes and murmurs that dipped and rippled through the crowd like a current. The soft clink of glassware stuttered, laughter paused and heads tilted. It was subtle, but unmistakable; that hush that always followed an entrance that disrupted the tempo of the room. I wasn’t surprised. I had expected it, hoped for it, even. Not simply because I was a Remington or because it had been months since I last showed my face at a social function, but because this time, I hadn’t come alone, I had come with my wife. Or rather, the woman the world believed to be my wife. Abigail’s arm was looped through mine, her posture straight, but I felt the shift in her body, the stiffness that bled into her spine and shoulder as the sea of attention swept toward us. Her gaze was taking in everything: the chandeliers, the ruby draped walls, the elegant swarm

AbigailThe movement was unceremonious, almost casual, but it hit me with the force of something tender and deliberate. My breath hitched. Before I could say anything, he pulled a dusty pink shoebox from the shopping bag and opened it, lifting the lid with the kind of care most people reserved for priceless heirlooms.Inside was a pair of classic nude pumps that were sleek and pointed, stunning in their simplicity. I stared. The color, the arch, the very sheen, every detail felt like it had been picked with great care, with me specifically in mind. This was something he had done himself, not delegated.He glanced up, catching my reaction.“You like them?” he asked.I looked back at him, a little breathless. &ldquo

AbigailIt would have been a lie to say I wasn’t nervous, so I didn’t bother pretending otherwise. I sat at the chair beside my vanity table, my hands clasped tightly in my lap, and stared at the gown laid out in front of me, its satin fabric glinting faintly under the bedroom lights. A shiver rippled through me, not from cold, but from the weight of everything this night was going to mean. The truth was, it wasn’t the risk of being discovered that had my heart in my throat. I had already died once; what more could they do to me?No, what terrified me was how badly I wanted this to work. How deeply I wanted to strike the right blow against Marceline, and now, Casillas too. I left the chair and moved to my bed. My fingers moved lightly over the hem of the gown where it lay across the bed, the sapling green color soft beneath my fingertips. The

AlexanderOne moment, I had Abigail in my arms, her warmth seeping into my hands, her perfume making me heady. Everything about her was soft, intoxicating...right. Her hand rested on my shoulder, her thumb unconsciously stroking the edge of my collarbone as we danced. I could feel her breath against my skin, hear the subtle catch in it. The kind of moment that builds toward something inevitable. A kiss, or more. I was seconds away from giving in to the pull.And then she tore herself out of my arms like she had been burned. The suddenness of it was like ice to the chest. My hands dropped to my sides, and I stared at her back, stunned. She wasn’t looking at me, but had her back turned to me. Her spine was stiff, her posture tight with something I couldn’t name. I couldn't understand it. Had I leaned in too far? Misread her body language? No, that couldn’t be it. I’d felt her responding to me. Her body had moved with mine like it wanted to. Still, the abrupt shift rattled me.“Abigail
