  • 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

    Just sent the email. Because she didn't need to ask. She was the majority shareholder. I closed the email. Opened the Strategic Initiatives folder. Started working. Supplier diversification for Singapore. Thirty-seven pages. Vendor profiles. Financial stability ratings. Cost comparisons. Risk

    Alicia's POV The coffee was at the temperature I liked it. That was the first thing I noticed when I sat down. Small. Specific. The kind of detail your body reaches for when it needs proof that the world is still ordinary. It was. The café was the one I came to when I needed ten minutes that bel

    Alicia's POV The elevator doors opened. The executive floor was still. Not empty, just contained. I walked the corridor to my office, pushed the door open, and closed it behind me. Stood at the window. Let the silence do what silence does. My chest had been tight since the moment his voice cut

    Alicia's POV Monday morning and the building felt the same. I didn't. The elevator climbed. I watched the numbers rise, phone already in my hand. Two emails from committee chairs. One from compliance. Nothing urgent. Everything moving. The doors opened. Claire glanced up. Coffee waiting on her
