Outside, the lake had lost the last of the light. I could see the city reflected in it now, the far bank bright, the water holding the image loosely. I turned the page. Read the next one. Set the file down, looked at the window, then picked it up again.

I closed it.

Showered. The water was too hot

  • 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

    "You're welcome to stay here as long as you need," my mother said immediately. "You know that. Your room is always ready." "That's generous, but I couldn't impose—" "It's not imposing. It's family." My mother's voice was firm. "Besides, grandmother would be heartbroken if you left again so soon. S

    Alicia's POV The room felt impossibly large in the quiet of the morning. Light filtered through drizzle-smeared glass, the rain now behind it. The city beyond looked washed clean, but it didn't reach me. Inside, the room smelled of antiseptic, stale coffee, and exhaustion. They'd been up once befo

    There it was. The command was disguised in the pretense of suggestion. You'll attend. As if my presence was a foregone conclusion, as inevitable as sunrise or quarterly reports. Something flickered in my chest, a brief flash of rebellion, a moment where I wanted to ask what gave him the right to or

    "Wasn't it?" I stepped closer, exhaustion making me bolder than usual. "Elena saw you, Edward. She saw how you looked at her. How do you let her touch you?" His composure cracked slightly. "Elena doesn't understand—" "She understands perfectly." My voice was quiet but steady. "She understands that
