The choice hung in the air between us, raw and bleeding. I had shown her I could want her. I had also just shown her I wouldn't take.

She stepped back.

Not because I had. Before the air had fully settled between us. One step, clean, her own decision made before mine had finished landing. Her hands

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 449

    The engines went quiet at six. The hull met the pier. The crew moved above us. River light came through the porthole, grey and silver, crossing the ceiling in slow panels. She was on her side facing me. Her hair across the pillow. Her mouth softly parted in the way that belonged only to sleep. I

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 448

    Edward’s POV The hull rose and settled with the slow pull of the river. I lay in the dark with my jacket on the floor and my shoes beside it and listened to the boat. The timber. The joins. The engine below running its low faithful count. The porthole showed clouds. The moon behind it traced the

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 447

    "I fell off a bicycle when I was seven," I said. "Broke my arm. The left one." "You're afraid of the dark," he said. "You sleep with the curtain open so the street light comes in. You never told me directly but I worked it out in the third month." I set down my wine. "You remember that." "I remem

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 446

    Alicia's POV The dress arrived at four. I found the box on Elena's table. Black paper, no ribbon, his handwriting stark on the card: The water. Inside, folded in tissue, was the black silk from the wardrobe at the estate. The one I had left hanging there. I showered. I pinned my hair up. At seve

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 445

    Edward's POV The grey light filled the room. Alicia's leg lay across mine, heavy with sleep. Her hair spread on my shoulder, across the pillow. Her palm rested on my chest, rising and falling with my breath. The arm beneath her had gone numb hours ago. I flexed my fingers until the pins and needl

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 444

    Alicia's POV He was on the floor. I looked at him until the silence found its shape. He looked back. The full version of him. Just Edward on the floor, his eyes on mine, waiting without arranging what he was waiting for. "We never chose each other," he said. "Let me choose you." "Then start,"

    The silence extended. Longer. No one defended her. No one spoke. Mitchell leaned back in his chair, someone who'd heard enough. Catherine's attention had already moved elsewhere. Edmund wouldn't even look in Margaret's direction. It was over. Whatever Margaret had tried to claim, whatever po

    Edward's POV Your name is on the door. Mine is in the foundation. My chest tightened at the thought. Her words from the bar still sat in my throat like broken glass. Richardson was talking beside me. Singapore expansion. Quarterly projections. His mouth moved through numbers that should have mat

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 249

    Edward's POV I stepped back into the hall. Every head turned. Not the polite acknowledgment of a CEO returning to his seat. Something else. Something that made the air feel thin. The room had gone silent. Too silent. Margaret stood near the table. Her posture rigid. Face unreadable. Vivienne'

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 260

    The sound of the door closing was flat and absolute. I stayed in my chair, listening to the silence settle back into the room. I didn’t get up to check if Edward was really gone. I didn't go to the window to watch him leave. The air in the studio felt different now that he wasn't taking up any o
