Edward's POV

My phone buzzed for the third time before nine.

Vivienne.

I let it ring out.

It sat face down on my desk next to Philip's email from this morning.

    "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. Same underlying concern, different language. We answered it both times. Follow-up is scheduled." "Documentation," Catherine sa

    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

    I heard the click of my heel before I saw the marble step, one sound, then another, and the room folded around me in bright, polite heat. Edward's hand landed on the small of my back like a practiced punctuation. I let him guide me and kept my face a mask: soft smile, unbothered eyes, the exact tilt

    "I should've done it sooner." There was something in his tone. Regret? Guilt? "A lot sooner." "Well," he said finally. "I'm calling at a terrible time then. I'm sorry." He hesitated. "I was going through some old photos earlier. Found that one from the bookshop. Remember? When you tried to convince

    The kitchen was dark except for the light above the sink. I flipped on the overhead. The sudden brightness made me squint. Edward's empty glass sat on the counter. He must have brought it in after I went upstairs. Rinsed it. Left it in the dish rack. Like nothing had happened. Like tonight had b
