I touched her elbow. “We’re going outside.”

She pulled away. “You don’t get to steer me.”

    "He also mentioned Vera Sorel has made her attendance at the follow-up conditional on yours," I said, letting the other piece of the weight land between us. "He wanted me to know that." The pen halted in her hand. She took a breath, slow, through her nose, and the line of her throat moved once befo

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 410

    Edward's POV Phillip arrived at twenty past ten. He settled into the chair across my desk and set his coat on the arm of it. The draft was already in his hand before he opened his mouth. "Signed and filed as of this morning. Your name on the minority position. Clean." He set a single folded page

    "I don't know." "You said it to him. Not here." The pause that followed remained too long to be casual. "What are you afraid of?" I didn't rush it. "That I'm seeing it right. And it still falls apart anyway." She shook her head slightly. "That's not uncertainty. That's you refusing to close y

    Alicia's POV Elena didn't turn when I came in. She was at the counter, spoon hovering over a bowl she hadn't touched in a while. The kettle had gone cold long enough to feel intentional. My bag hit the floor by the door. She didn't look at it. "You came back wrong." "I came back two days ago."

    She turned a page. No emphasis. "They agreed." No one in the room needed more than that. "Rotterdam," George said. "Two families," Alicia said. "Both meetings ran long. Same underlying concern, different language. We answered it both times. Follow-up is scheduled." "Documentation," Catherine sa

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 406

    Edward's POV The term sheet had been in my inbox since the previous night. Four pages. Clean. Volkov's committee had approved the access deal exactly as the projection had asked for. Southeast Asia. The Gulf. East Africa. The network layer intact. The timeline fixed. Nothing negotiated down. I se

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 58

    Alicia’s POV The car was quiet except for the hum of the engine and the faint rustle of tires on pavement. My reflection looked back at me. Pale. Hollow‑eyed. A stranger inhabiting my face.

    The crowd noise dimmed. Conversations paused mid-sentence. Thomas Carrington, the museum director, stepped onto the small stage at the far end of the gallery. He held the microphone with quiet authority, his suit sharp under the gallery lights. "Welcome to the Museum of Contemporary Art's twenty-t

    Alicia’s POV Monday morning arrived with gray light and the sound of Edward leaving for work. I heard his footsteps on the stairs, the front door closing, the car engine fading down the driveway. Then silence. I lay there for another twenty minutes, staring at the ceiling, before I finally moved

    Edward’s POV The applause faded unevenly, tapering off as if the room couldn’t decide whether to stop. Lucy dipped her head one last time while Carrington brushed a practiced kiss near her cheek. Vivienne pulled her close, wearing the sort of smile she saved for cameras. Flashes burst across the st
