Forbidden By Her Sister's Husband Chapter 127
Aria didn't start with a plan. She just started.First site that came up—she went straight to the price filter. Highest first. She didn't read descriptions, didn't check sizes, didn't look at colors. She just added. Confirmed. Next site. She moved through fashion houses, through shoe collections, through bag after bag—always the highest price at the top of the page, always the same flat energy of someone who was not choosing anything. Who was simply pressing a button. The order confirmations arrived in her inbox in a steady stream and she stopped reading them after the third one. Then she found the jewelry.She sorted by price—highest first, the way she had done with everything else and the first thing that loaded was a necklace. Platinum. Diamonds. The kind of piece that belonged in a vault, that would never actually sit against anyone's skin. She looked at the price for one second. Then she added it without blinking and kept going. Earrings she would never wear. A bracelet with a p

One month. Every morning the elevator opened and he was already there, jacket on, keys in hand. She got in the car. He drove. She went in alone. She sat beside Alex and held his hand and talked until her voice ran thin, and then she came out and Damian was in the corridor and they drove home without speaking. Every morning. Without exception. Without conditions attached. Alex was still the same. Stable. Breathing. Not waking. She cried a little on the way back each time, always with her face turned to the window. She didn't know if he saw. She had stopped trying to figure out what he saw. Everything else in the penthouse had become a war she couldn't stop fighting and couldn't win. She had tried everything available to her. Cold—long stretches of days where she moved through the space without acknowledging him, giving him nothing but the back of her head and the sound of a door closing. Loud—the television past midnight, glasses left deliberately on top of whatever he was tr

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.
