HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter91***THE FIRST ARGUMENT
The argument did not start loudly.It started with silence.The kind that lingers too long.The kind that fills a room until it becomes heavy.Tiana noticed it around noon.Vince had taken two calls back-to-back, his tone clipped, sharp, authoritative. The Vince she had first met. The one people feared. The one who never hesitated to make decisions that affected lives.She hadn’t heard that voice in weeks.And it unsettled her.He ended the call and walked into the living room.She was sitting by the window with her sketchbook, but she wasn’t drawing anymore. She was watching him.“What happened?” she asked.“Work,” he replied shortly.She waited for more.Nothing came.“That tone,” she said gently. “I haven’t heard it in a while.”Vince exhaled, rubbing his temple.“A contractor is delaying a demolition project. They’re asking for compensation I’m not willing to give.”The words hit her like a slap.Demolition.Compensation.Her fingers tightened around the sketchbook.“Demolition wh
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter90***THE QUESTION HE WAS AFRAID TO ASK
Vince had been quiet all morning.Not distant.Not distracted.Just… thoughtful.Tiana noticed it while pouring tea into two cups. He stood by the window with his phone in his hand, but he wasn’t using it. His gaze was fixed outside, jaw tight, mind clearly somewhere else.“You’re doing that thing again,” she said.He turned. “What thing?”“Thinking too loudly.”A faint smile touched his lips, but it didn’t reach his eyes.He walked toward her and accepted the cup she offered.“Can I ask you something?” he said.Tiana paused.There was a weight in his voice that made her heart shift slightly.“Okay.”They sat opposite each other at the table.The morning sun spilled across the surface between them like a quiet witness.Vince wrapped his fingers around the cup but didn’t drink.“If the treatment works,” he began slowly, “if you get years… a full life…”He hesitated.Tiana felt it.This wasn’t a casual question.This was something he had been carrying for days.“What then?” he asked.Sh
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter89***THE PLACE SHE NEVER RETURNED TO
Tiana did not tell Vince where they were going.Not because she wanted to surprise him.But because saying it out loud would make it real.And she wasn’t sure she was ready for real.“Left here,” she said quietly.Vince followed the direction without question.They had left the polished roads and tall glass buildings behind nearly twenty minutes ago. The city had slowly changed into something older. Narrower streets. Low houses. Faded paint. Familiar silence.Vince glanced at her.Her hands were clasped tightly in her lap.Her breathing had gone shallow.He didn’t ask.He already knew.The car stopped in front of a piece of land that no longer looked like a home.Just a flat stretch of dry soil with patches of wild grass fighting to grow through it.No gate.No fence.No structure.Just emptiness.Tiana didn’t move immediately.She stared.As if she expected the house to suddenly appear again.As if memory could rebuild walls.“That’s it,” she whispered.Vince turned off the engine.N
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter88***THE THINGS SHE WANTED BACK
Tiana woke with a decision already formed in her chest.Not loud.Not dramatic.Just clear.She wanted pieces of her old life back.Not the painful ones.Not the ones tied to fear or survival.But the simple, forgotten parts that had quietly slipped away while she was busy trying to stay alive.Vince noticed it immediately.She wasn’t moving slowly this morning.She wasn’t pausing between steps as if measuring her strength.She was moving with intention.Purpose.“You’re planning something,” he said from the doorway as she tied her hair into a loose ponytail.She smiled at him through the mirror.“Yes.”He raised a brow.“Should I be worried?”“Very.”She dragged him into the car without explanation.No hospital.No appointments.No pharmacy.Just a destination she refused to name.Vince didn’t argue.He had learned that when Tiana looked like this—eyes bright with quiet mischief—it was better to follow than to question.They stopped in front of a small art store.Vince blinked.She t
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter87***A MORNING THAT FELT NEW
Tiana woke before the alarm.Not from pain.Not from the dull heaviness that had become familiar these past months.But from stillness.A quiet, gentle stillness inside her body that felt… unfamiliar.She lay there for a moment, staring at the ceiling, trying to understand what had changed.Then she realized.Nothing hurt.Not in the way it usually did.She turned her head slightly.Vince was still asleep beside her, one arm stretched across the bed as if even in sleep he had been reaching for her.She watched him for a long time.The slow rise and fall of his chest.The relaxed lines of his face.He looked younger when he slept.Less guarded.Less like a man constantly preparing for bad news.Carefully, she slipped out of bed.Her feet touched the floor without hesitation.She walked to the window and pulled the curtains aside.Morning light poured into the room.And for the first time in a long while, she didn’t feel like she was watching the day begin from the outside.She felt lik
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter86***THE FEAR SHE DIDN’T NAME
The hospital corridor felt longer than usual.Tiana walked beside Vince slowly, her steps careful but steady. Today wasn’t a treatment day. It was a results day.And somehow, that felt worse.Treatment meant action.Results meant waiting to hear what her body had decided to do with that action.She hated how quiet everything felt.Even the nurses’ voices sounded softer, as if the walls themselves respected the tension patients carried in with them.Vince squeezed her hand gently.“You don’t have to be brave,” he murmured.She gave him a small smile.“I’m not trying to be brave.”“What are you trying to be?”“Prepared.”They sat in the consultation room.Tiana’s eyes fixed on the doctor’s desk, on the neatly arranged files, on the computer screen that held answers she wasn’t sure she wanted yet.Her heart beat steadily.Too steadily.Like it had accepted that whatever came next would change something permanently.The door opened.The doctor stepped in with a calm expression.That scare
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter30***THE EDGE OF EVERYTHING
The night was thick with tension.Tiana stood in the center of Caldwell’s private office, every muscle taut, every breath measured. The dim lighting made the room feel smaller than it was, suffocating in a way that mirrored the fear and anticipation coiling in her chest.Across from her, Ethan Cald
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter27***LINES THAT SHOULDN'T BLUR
Morning came too quietly.Tiana woke to the soft glow of sunlight filtering through the curtains, the kind of calm that didn’t match the storm still lingering in her chest.For a moment, she didn’t move.Didn’t think.Just breathed.Slow.Careful.Like her body might break if she did anything more.
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter14***CRACKS IN THE ARMOR
The city was quiet when Tiana finally reached her apartment building.It stood between two old structures on a narrow street, the faded paint on the walls already beginning to peel. The hallway lights flickered weakly, and the elevator had been broken for months.She climbed the stairs slowly.Each
HIS COLD ADDICTION chapter13***DINNER WITH THE DEVIL
Dinner With the DevilThe restaurant Vince Donovan chose was the kind of place most people only saw in magazines.Crystal chandeliers hung from the high ceiling, scattering warm golden light across polished marble floors. Soft music floated through the air while waiters moved quietly between tables
