Alicia's POV

My phone buzzed on the desk.

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 449

    The engines went quiet at six. The hull met the pier. The crew moved above us. River light came through the porthole, grey and silver, crossing the ceiling in slow panels. She was on her side facing me. Her hair across the pillow. Her mouth softly parted in the way that belonged only to sleep. I

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 448

    Edward’s POV The hull rose and settled with the slow pull of the river. I lay in the dark with my jacket on the floor and my shoes beside it and listened to the boat. The timber. The joins. The engine below running its low faithful count. The porthole showed clouds. The moon behind it traced the

    "I fell off a bicycle when I was seven," I said. "Broke my arm. The left one." "You're afraid of the dark," he said. "You sleep with the curtain open so the street light comes in. You never told me directly but I worked it out in the third month." I set down my wine. "You remember that." "I remem

    Alicia's POV The dress arrived at four. I found the box on Elena's table. Black paper, no ribbon, his handwriting stark on the card: The water. Inside, folded in tissue, was the black silk from the wardrobe at the estate. The one I had left hanging there. I showered. I pinned my hair up. At seve

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 445

    Edward's POV The grey light filled the room. Alicia's leg lay across mine, heavy with sleep. Her hair spread on my shoulder, across the pillow. Her palm rested on my chest, rising and falling with my breath. The arm beneath her had gone numb hours ago. I flexed my fingers until the pins and needl

    Alicia's POV He was on the floor. I looked at him until the silence found its shape. He looked back. The full version of him. Just Edward on the floor, his eyes on mine, waiting without arranging what he was waiting for. "We never chose each other," he said. "Let me choose you." "Then start,"

    His lips moved. "...How long?" Low. Strained. Like the words cost more than they should have. "Since yesterday." He watched me. A beat longer than necessary. "You didn't go home." Not a question. Just a fact he had already arrived at before saying it aloud. "I stepped out a few times." I kept

    The building knew. I felt it the moment I came through the entrance. Security waved me through as they always did, but held eye contact a beat longer than usual. Two men from finance stepped out as I stepped in. They went quiet mid-sentence and nodded at me with the gravity of people who have heard

    "The vendor contract," I said. "Walk me through the reasoning." He did. His logic was solid. One variable was misweighted. I corrected it. He noted it. No argument. Leo respected precision.
