At nine-fifteen, I left my office. Took the elevator down to the fifteenth floor, where the legal team worked.

The hallway was already busy. Paralegals moving between offices with files. Associates hunched over desks visible through open doors.

Vincent Pierce's office was at the end. Door open. He

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 405

    Alicia's POV His arm was across my waist when I woke. The room was grey with early light, the city outside still quiet, the type of quiet that belongs to the hour before a place fully commits to its day. I lay still for a moment. The weight of his arm. The warmth of the room. The dress lying acros

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 404

    Her hands moved from my shoulders to my face, her palms cupping my jaw, her thumbs stroking my cheeks. It was a gesture of such unexpected tenderness it nearly undid me. Her eyes, dark and dazed, locked onto mine. In them, I saw not the woman I had wronged, but the woman I was with, in this moment,

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 403

    Her hand anchored hard against the back of my head, fingers tangling in my hair, holding me exactly where she needed me. For a moment, I wasn't the man who had failed her. I was just a man giving her pleasure. She said my name once, twice, the third time broken completely, and her whole body arched

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 402

    Edward's POV Her mouth was on mine when I got the door open. I walked her backward into the room, the city lights filtering through the window in thin strips that barely illuminated the space. Her hands were already at my collar, working open the buttons of my shirt with an urgency that sent a jol

    Alicia's POV The restaurant Edmund had not arranged. Edward had seen it from the car on the second day and remembered it. No assistant. No agenda attached to the table. We walked there. He asked about Lily before we reached the first corner. "Is she still seeing the cardiologist every three mon

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 400

    I ordered wine. The work wasn't finished. The room was quieter. She took the glass without comment. Drank. Set it down and kept writing. She spoke about the eastern corridor communities directly, without framing or adjustment, as if they existed in the room with us. Her hand moved as she talked, m

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 264

    Edward's POV I'd chaired rooms like this for a decade. I had never lost one so quietly. The board members filed out in clusters of two and three. Edmund paused at the door, looked back at us once, then left without a word. The glass doors hissed shut. Alicia didn't move. Neither did I. She sa

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 261

    Edward's POV The hallway was a tunnel of expensive silence. I stopped ten feet from Philip’s door, my lungs refusing to take in a full breath. I reached for my tie, my fingers clumsy and trembling. I tightened the knot until I could feel the pulse thumping against my windpipe. I checked my cuf

    I watched Edward's hand rest against the edge of the table. His knuckles pressed down. His presentation folder sat open in front of him. The one with the Singapore projections. He'd come in prepared. Confident. Ready to walk this board through a plan he'd built piece by piece. And now he was standi

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 274

    Edward's POV The silence was unbearable. Edmund's pen hovered. David Park stared at the table. Priya's arms crossed. Vincent looked at his hands. Everyone waited. Alicia's hand stayed flat on the table. Fingers spread. Unmoving. I watched her face. Nothing. No tells. No hints. Just that same
