    "He also mentioned Vera Sorel has made her attendance at the follow-up conditional on yours," I said, letting the other piece of the weight land between us. "He wanted me to know that." The pen halted in her hand. She took a breath, slow, through her nose, and the line of her throat moved once befo

    Edward's POV Phillip arrived at twenty past ten. He settled into the chair across my desk and set his coat on the arm of it. The draft was already in his hand before he opened his mouth. "Signed and filed as of this morning. Your name on the minority position. Clean." He set a single folded page

    "I don't know." "You said it to him. Not here." The pause that followed remained too long to be casual. "What are you afraid of?" I didn't rush it. "That I'm seeing it right. And it still falls apart anyway." She shook her head slightly. "That's not uncertainty. That's you refusing to close y

    Alicia's POV Elena didn't turn when I came in. She was at the counter, spoon hovering over a bowl she hadn't touched in a while. The kettle had gone cold long enough to feel intentional. My bag hit the floor by the door. She didn't look at it. "You came back wrong." "I came back two days ago."

    She turned a page. No emphasis. "They agreed." No one in the room needed more than that. "Rotterdam," George said. "Two families," Alicia said. "Both meetings ran long.

    Edward's POV The term sheet had been in my inbox since the previous night. Four pages. Clean. Volkov's committee had approved the access deal exactly as the projection had asked for. Southeast Asia. The Gulf. East Africa. The network layer intact. The timeline fixed. Nothing negotiated down. I se

    Edward's POV Saturday arrived the way weekends always did when you had nothing to fill them with. Slowly. Relentlessly. Without mercy. I woke at six-thirty out of habit. The apartment was silent. Too big for one person. I'd never really noticed that before. In nearly three years of marriage,

    Alicia's POV The house smelled like cinnamon. Something was still in the oven. I stood in the doorway with my bag still on my shoulder. My mother looked up from the counter where she was arranging cookies on a plate. Her face lit up. "Alicia." She wiped her hands on a towel. Came over and pulle

    Alicia's POV The marble was cool under my palms. I'd been gripping the edge of the sink longer than necessary, staring at the woman in the mirror as though she belonged to someone else. She looked composed. Self-possessed. Nothing like the girl who used to fold herself smaller to survive Edward’s

    I didn't stop. Didn't turn around. Just kept walking. Out the front door. Back to my car. Got in. My phone buzzed before I could start the engine. Text from Leo. Victor's office called. Requesting a meeting on Thursday at 9 AM. Described as urgent. I stared at the screen. Thursday. Less tha
