Not really. Where have you been hiding?

Daniel: Sorry, Alicia. Can I explain over lunch?

Where are you?

Daniel: Already in the building. Heading toward you.

I set the phone down.

A week. An entire week and I'd barely had time to miss him because of everything else but now...

A knock.

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 398

    The auctioneer's cadence moved through the wall. I had built something without him. That was still true. It would stay true. Whatever I said next didn't touch it. "I don't know," I said. "That's the honest answer. Not the managed version." I met his gaze. "I don't know if what's left is enough to

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 397

    Alicia's POV The older man was still talking. "Seven years," he said. "Four jurisdictions. We moved water infrastructure across borders that hadn't spoken to each other in a generation." His hands traced corridors in the air between us. "The archive is the proof it happened. That it worked." He tu

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 396

    “You entered without cause,” I said. “You stayed without one.” “I don’t know what this is between you two but—” “My wife.” No variation in tone. No additional weight needed. Alicia’s hand lifted a little, then halted mid-motion and settled again without completing the gesture. The woman exhaled

    Edward’s POV “Forty thousand. Do I have forty-five?” The paddle was already raised. Alicia’s hand remained under mine, unchanged in position, as though neither of us had adjusted to its presence since it settled there. “Forty-five.” I raised. “Fifty. Fifty-five.” On the left, a man leaned forw

    The fifth lot began. Edward moved to speak to someone at the side of the room. I watched the auctioneer. She crossed the room toward him. He turned when she spoke. She laughed. It had worked before, that laugh. I scanned the sixth lot. Mixed media, authenticated 2019, provenance verified. Her h

    Alicia's POV Volkov was already at the door when we came in. His eyes went to my dress and came back up. Lazily. He turned to Edward, and they shook hands. It ran a half-second longer than it needed. "You both came," he said. "You invited us," Edward said. "I invite many people. They don't alwa

    Alicia’s POV Sunday morning arrived pale and quiet. I sat on the couch, coffee cooling in my hands. Elena was in the armchair angled toward me, mug balanced on the armrest, untouched. Between us lay the folder. Brown manila. The type you’d use for taxes. Except it wasn’t taxes. We’d been like th

    Edward's POV The estate looked the same as it always did, manicured hedges, perfectly aligned stone pathway, the kind of wealth that announced itself through restraint rather than display. I'd grown up here. Knew every room. Every corner. Every shadow. It still felt like walking into a trap. I p

    “That’s not an easy thing to sort out,” he said. “Yeah.” “Especially when it’s been broken before.” I looked at him. He kept his gaze forward, face composed but knowing. “I’m not asking you to explain,” he added. “Just saying trust isn’t automatic. It shouldn’t be.” I turned back to the window,

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 223

    Edward's POV Saturday arrived the way weekends always did when you had nothing to fill them with. Slowly. Relentlessly. Without mercy. I woke at six-thirty out of habit. The apartment was silent. Too big for one person. I'd never really noticed that before. In nearly three years of marriage,
