"Nothing," I said.

Lucy's smile widened a fraction. "Just navigating changes."

Daniel watched us both for a long moment.

Then his phone lit up.

Just a flash of light on the table beside his plate.

He glanced at it. Brief. Went back to his food.

The conversation moved on. Vivienne asking about

Yes! He’s the exact kind of man Alicia needs in her life. He stood up for her when her own husband let everyone talk crap about her and to her face. Never defending her

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 413

    "Finish that sentence." My voice cut across hers. A beat passed. A shift crossed her eyes. Then she said it anyway. "Cleaned houses for people like us." The room went completely quiet. "My mother." I stopped. "Worked with her hands for people who believed that made her less than them. People exac

    Alicia’s POV The pen was in my hand. I hadn't moved since the door closed. The page in front of me, the same line, and now I knew someone had been observing me return to it, watching long enough to count each return. I had spent three years believing he never saw the parts that weren't performed.

    "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."

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 191

    Edward's POV She found me anyway. I'd chosen the back row intentionally. Furthest seat from the platform. Close to the exit. But her eyes swept the room as she walked down the center aisle, and when they reached me, they didn't stop. Didn't widen. Didn't falter. Just registered. Noted. Moved

    "I don't care how I look." "You should." Her voice sharpened, blade-thin. "Waiting makes you vulnerable. Public uncertainty erodes power faster than failure. At least failure is decisive. Alicia's absence will be weaponized. By the board that thinks you're distracted. Competitors who think you're o

    My hands clenched at my sides. Lucy saw it. Smiled again. "I'm not trying to hurt you, Edward. I'm trying to help you see reality." She stopped in front of me, close enough that I could smell her perfume. French. “She’s launching soon." I didn’t react. “Victor mentioned it after the conference,”

    Edward's POV The treadmill hummed beneath my feet. Mile six. The gym sat unused, just as it should. Just me and the mirrors lining the walls. Equipment gleaming. Temperature-controlled. Everything precisely maintained. My lungs burned. Cloth soaked through. I kept my eyes forward, watching nothi
