In the gym, her slips were a hair slow, her jab a hair late. Vince tapped her wrist. “You’re elsewhere.”

“Everywhere,” she said.

“Not useful.”

“Noted.”

Routine is a religion that keeps worse gods at bay. They ran drills anyway. By breakfast her skin hummed; the knot didn’t move. She pushed eggs unti

    Below, the city moved on. It always did. But for once, it bowed—not in fear, not in surrender, but in acknowledgment. The old order was gone. The heirs had become sovereigns. He walked her from the balcony into the bedroom, his fingers laced with hers, the moonlight casting silver shadows across t

  • Buried Beneath Sin   Chapter 186

    The city had changed. Not loudly—there were no headlines or parades, no monuments raised to the dead who built peace from fire. It changed in silence, like a wound knitting itself back together when no one was looking. Traffic hummed again along the old routes. Shipments moved without escort. Th

  • Buried Beneath Sin   Chapter 185

    Morning came soft for once. No alarms, no calls from Vince, no coded messages blinking red on her phone. Just light — the kind that filtered gently through the kitchen windows, gold and domestic. The kind that didn’t belong in a house like the DeLuca estate. Grace sat at the counter, legs crossed,

    Sometimes they met at the church they’d used as neutral ground—the one that had nearly burned with their secrets. It was stripped now, empty of pews, the marble cracked and raw. They would sit at opposite ends of the aisle, plans in hand, voices low but steady. “How’s the east corridor?” he’d as

  • Buried Beneath Sin   Chapter 183

    The city exhaled like a wounded animal after the storm. For weeks, smoke hung low over the East River, the scent of gunpowder clinging to the skyline. It was the smell of endings—and beginnings. The old order was dead. Now came the quieter war: rebuilding. The funerals lasted three days. They

    “Where the hell are you going?” he slurred behind her. The words were thick now. He was on his feet again, moving, slower. The furniture made juddering noises, protest from wood pushed by a body that had lost grace. She yanked the door open and shot through into the sitting room, then the private

    “I’m not in the mood for sex when you're like this,” she said, and meant it as a line. He heard it as a challenge. His fingers hooked into the strap of her nightgown and tugged, then harder when it didn’t give right away. Fabric popped at the seam with a sound similar to knuckle-crack. Something p

    They undressed in the manner of people taking off a performance—slowly, like the garments might hold the memory of every smile they’d had to manufacture. The silver gown slid down Sasha’s hips and pooled on the rug like spilled moonlight. She draped it over the back of a chair and stood a moment in

  • Buried Beneath Sin   Chapter 73

    Sasha stood before the vanity mirror while the final pin clicked into place. Corrine—the wedding planner—had come by earlier to drop off a few last-minute items and had lingered long enough to fuss with the train of the silver gown, to murmur something about how it caught light “like it was made of
