"I've known you for eight years, Edward. This isn't you."

"Maybe it should have been."

"What does that mean?"

"It means I've spent a decade operating like Richard. Building the same way he did. And maybe it's time someone changed that."

Harlan stood.

"You're making a mistake."

"Noted."

  • 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

    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

    “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

    "I'll do it," I said. "Because Edward saved my life. Nothing else." Vivienne's expression settled. "That is the most sensible decision you've made since I have known you." I clutched my phone under the table and said nothing. Lucy came back in and took her seat. Edmund's phone rang. He looked a

    I met her gaze, letting her see everything. “I would have wished it was,” I said, my own voice quiet. “You were his wife. You deserved everything. But it isn’t. Before Valentine, there was Voices Beyond Borders. There was other work. This came from me. From my accounts. It’s clean.” She searched my

    Edward's POV The laptop was open before the corridor outside had fully woken up. I had been lying there for twenty minutes before I admitted I wasn't going to sleep again. Another five after that before I reached for it with my left hand. The sling held my right arm against my chest in a way that

    Alicia's POV The apartment smelled like coffee and garlic from whatever Elena had made earlier. I dropped my bag by the door. Walked to the kitchen. Filled a glass with water. Drank it standing at the sink, looking out the small window at the building across the street. Elena was on the couch wh
