Jacket already on. Coffee cooling at his elbow. He looked up when she appeared in the doorway and waited. She had planned to say it flatly. Directly. Giving it no weight. But standing in the doorway with his eyes on her the word came out smaller than she'd intended, softer than she'd wanted it to be. "I want to see Alex." He looked at her for a moment.

Forbidden By Her Sister's Husband Chapter 125
She found him at his desk before he left the next morning. Jacket already on. Coffee cooling at his elbow. He looked up when she appeared in the doorway and waited. She had planned to say it flatly. Directly. Giving it no weight. But standing in the doorway with his eyes on her the word came out smaller than she'd intended, softer than she'd wanted it to be. "I want to see Alex." He looked at her for a moment. Then he checked his watch. "Be ready in thirty minutes." He said it quietly, simply. "I'll take you." She stared at him. She waited for the rest of the sentence, the clause that would complete it — the condition, the price, the shape of what it would cost her. She stood in the doorway and waited and nothing came. He had already looked back at his desk. She went to find her coat.

She was flipping through channels when his face came on.Her thumb stopped moving.A press conference. Damian standing at a podium, the board arranged in a row behind him, Alfred Cross nowhere among them. The anchor's voice came over the footage calm and clipped: Alfred Cross officially stepping down, the board voting unanimously to confirm Damian Cross as full chairman, effective immediately.She set the remote down on the cushion beside her.She watched the rest of it without moving. His face on the screen doing what it always did — settling into a room like he had already decided it was his before he walked in. Composed. Unhurried. Nothing leaking out. Alfred was gone and Damian was standing at the podium where Alfred used to stand and his face showed nothing about what that meant except that it was done.She sat with that for a long time after the segment moved on. The screen changed to something else, some other story from some other

"Don't make me force feed you."She looked back at him. "I'll eat it myself. Give me the fork."He looked at her for a moment."You had your chance."The fork was right there in front of her mouth, completely still in his hand. She stared at it. Then she looked at his face.She opened her mouth.He fed her the bite. Then the next. He moved between the eggs and the toast without hurrying, without any particular expression attached to it, without looking at her in a way she could grab onto. She sat straight on the edge of the bed and she watched his face while he did it. She looked at his jaw, the line of it, the space behind his eyes, the place at his temple where tension used to live when he was holding something back. She looked for the cold that she knew, the thing she had learned to read across months in this penthouse and could recognize before it surfaced.She found nothing.Just his face. The fork moving between the plate and her mouth, patient and steady and completely unreadab

Aria had been awake for a long time before he came in.The room was still dark at the edges, city light pressing grey and flat beneath the curtains, and she lay on her back with her hands at her sides and thought about Alex. He was in a coma in a hospital somewhere in this city, a machine keeping his chest rising and falling. Her chest hurt with all of it in the specific way of something that had no solution, a pain that simply sat there and asked nothing except that she carry it, and she lay there in the grey quiet and carried it.She heard footsteps in the hallway.The door opened.Damian came in carrying a tray. Not a staff member, not a knock and a quick retreat. Him, crossing the room with the tray level in both hands and setting it on the nightstand with care. He lifted the silver cover off the plate and set it aside.Scrambled eggs. Toast. A glass of orange juice. Four medicines in a neat row beside the plate.He looked at her."Sit up."She kept her eyes on the ceiling."Aria.

Aria woke up.The light hit her first—too bright, pressing hard against her closed eyelids and she turned her face away before she even knew where she was. Her head throbbed. She lay still and breathed through it.She opened her eyes.Ceiling.She blinked. The blur cleared and she stared at it…the exact shade, the exact height and her chest went quiet and cold.She knew this ceiling.She turned her head. The room came in pieces — the windows, tall and grey with city light behind them. The weight of the curtains. The particular stillness of the air in this space. The corner by the door where the wall met at that slight imperfection she had stared at more times than she could count.She was in the penthouse.New York.She lay there under that ceiling and the last two weeks folded themselves up and disappeared like they had never happened.How.She pushed up onto her elbows and the room tilted and she waited, and then it hit her Alex. The car with its roof pressed flat. she had been on t

She didn't know how long she stayed on the floor.The anchor's voice kept going. The lights kept crossing the wet road on the screen. At some point the footage changed and the road was gone but not from behind her eyes. The roof pressed flat on the driver's side. The stretcher at the edge of the frame. Those words sitting at the bottom of the screen.Life threatening.Her hands were still pressed over her mouth. She had gone somewhere very far inside herself while she was down there.Alex.She lifted her head.Her knees ached. Her face was wet. She pressed one palm to the tile and then the other and pushed herself up slowly and stood there until her legs steadied under her.He hadn't moved. Still standing in the same place she'd found him when she walked in, watching her with those flat dark eyes.She walked toward him.Her hands shook at her sides. She stopped right in front of him and looked up at his face and when she spoke her voice came out so low she barely heard it herself."Yo
