Alicia's POV

The first outreach responses came in on Thursday.

I was on the second one when Claire knocked.

"Mr. Valentine is here."

"Send him in."

We had agreed on nine. Rotterdam and Zurich. He came in with the file and his iPad and pulled the chair across from my desk and sat without being a

    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 399

    Edward's POV The door opened behind me. No knock. She came in already talking. "I need your numbers from Rotterdam before we fix anything else," she said. "The version you gave him assumes—" She stopped. I didn't turn immediately. Just reached for the towel, dragged it once over my face, then

    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 escalator reached the bottom and my foot caught the edge. Daniel's hand was there before I stumbled. Fingers around my elbow. Anchoring me as I stepped off onto solid ground. I was still staring at him. Couldn't stop. Like if I looked away for even a second he'd dissolve into whoever I'd ima

    Hearing it out loud, in this room, under Vivienne’s hawk-like stare, with Lucy watching knowingly across from me and Grandma Eleanor puzzling over us, the words felt heavier than I’d anticipated. Real in a way it hadn't been when it was just papers in Philip's office. "It's mutual." The words came

    Edward's POV The estate driveway ran ahead, hedges trimmed to exact lines. I parked beside Lucy's black sedan. Three stories of stone and glass that had always felt too large, even full. I walked to the entrance. Marie opened the door before I reached it. "They're already at the table, Mr. Val

    "And you saw it." "In London. Thursday morning. I was working and one of my team members had a news site open in the background. I saw the headline." His eyes didn't leave mine. "Saw your name." "And you came back." "I came back." I processed that. "You weren't supposed to be here." "No. I was
