"Two weeks," he said. "Who handled it?"

"Me."

He looked at me steadily. "You built a structure to reduce dependence on any single person. And the first time it was tested."

"I was there and it needed handling."

"You're always there." His eyes moved to Edward and back. "That’s what I’m trying to

The right one. I'll give it my best shot. Time settled around us, taut. "He still thinks he came here for the meeting," Volkov said to me, eyes twinkling. Edward went rigid, as if told the stock market was crashing in real time.

I can't believe I turned it upside down. Gawd!!!! "He still thinks he came here for the meeting," Volkov said, eyes twinkling. Time settled around us, taut. Edward went rigid, as if told the stock market was crashing in real time.

I'm sorry guys. I made a little mistake at the end. This is what it's supposed to be: Edward went rigid, as if told the stock market was crashing in real time. "He still thinks he came here for the meeting," Volkov said, eyes twinkling.

  • 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

    "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

    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,"

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 222

    Alicia's POV The office was quieter than it had any right to be. High enough that the city looked unreal. Corner suite. Windows overlooking a slice of downtown I'd never paid attention to before. The kind of quiet that came from thick walls and expensive construction, the kind that made every smal

    Alicia's POV The kitchen smelled like butter and warmth. I’d started baking before dawn, my hands working from memory. Rolling dough. Cutting circles. Lining them up on the sheets. The kind of work that kept my mind quiet. Elena sat at the counter with her laptop open, attention split between wh

    Ending it was the right call. The only call. So why couldn't I make myself do it? I stood. Looked at my keys sitting on the entry table. I could go out. Do something. Anything was better than staying here spiraling. Except I didn't want to go anywhere. I wanted to drive to Elena’s apartmen

    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
