The silence inside the master bedroom shattered as Edward’s fingers unfastened my black dress, letting the silk fall in a heap onto the marble floor.

Beneath the soft glow of the wall sconces, there was no distance left between us. His warm, broad chest pressed flush against mine, erasing every trace of last night’s storm from my skin. Every touch of his hands on my waist and back felt possessive, claiming an absolute ownership that no longer needed to hide behind a marriage contract.

    The silence inside the master bedroom shattered as Edward’s fingers unfastened my black dress, letting the silk fall in a heap onto the marble floor.Beneath the soft glow of the wall sconces, there was no distance left between us. His warm, broad chest pressed flush against mine, erasing every trace of last night’s storm from my skin. Every touch of his hands on my waist and back felt possessive, claiming an absolute ownership that no longer needed to hide behind a marriage contract."You're mine, Allana," Edward whispered against the crook of my neck. His deep voice vibrated against my skin, followed by a light nip on my shoulder that caught my breath. "Not because of that piece of paper, but because you are the only woman capable of standing shoulder-to-shoulder with me."The shadows of vengeance that had haunted our path seemed to dissolve as Edward pulled me under a burning wave of passion. Across the expansive bed, we drank in each other's breath, letting weeks of pent-up desire

    The phone resting on the heavy desk vibrated continuously, flashing red warning lights from the northern estate's security grid. The alert—'Main Gate Breach'—blinked steadily alongside a cold cup of coffee and scattered stacks of blue blueprints.Edward didn't reach for the phone right away. He remained still in front of me, his heavy breath brushing against my forehead. His rough hands—still warm from pinning the attacker’s wrist in the parking garage earlier—locked around my waist, holding me flush against his body."He knows we have the recording," I murmured, touching the tear in the sleeve of his white dress shirt. The skin beneath felt warm and rock-hard. "Arthur isn't here to negotiate, Edward. He intends to level your home to destroy the decoder and us along with it."Edward let out a low chuckle. It was a cold sound, typical of a man who had already counted the remaining days of his enemy’s life."Let him in," Edward said softly. His thumb traced the corner of my lower lip, s

    The bitter stench of burnt oil and metallic fresh blood sliced cleanly through the residual heat hanging between Edward and me.The elevator doors felt like a threshold between two worlds—inside, my breath was still ragged from the searing imprint of Edward's lips on my collarbone; outside, Rose stood trembling in the shadows, her black dress torn at the shoulder, exposing angry blue bruises against her pale skin.Edward shifted instinctively. His heavy hand didn't release my waist; instead, he maneuvered my body fully behind his broad, towering frame. An unyielding human shield."A foolish move if you think you can ambush me here, Rose," Edward’s voice rumbled, dangerously calm, devoid of a single trace of surprise. His hand slid into his inner jacket pocket with deliberate, calculated precision. "One signal, and my security at the perimeter will snap your neck.""Do it! Kill me if it makes you feel like a king!" Rose shrieked hysterically, her voice fracturing under high-pitched pan

    The wild flashes of the reporters' cameras suddenly bounced dully off the silver badge pinned to the police officer's chest. The name Emmily Turner still hung like a foul stain in the air of City Hall's atrium, but Edward didn't loosen his hold around my waist. His long fingers clenched the fabric of my black suit, a protective gesture so dominant that its heat seemed to seep beneath my clothes."A seizure warrant?" Edward cut through the distance, stepping forward and pulling me even closer against his hip. His voice didn't rise, but its weight and texture were enough to make the officer in front of us stop two steps away. "How much did Arthur pay for this cheap spectacle in front of the media, Inspector?""This order comes directly from the Central Prosecutor's Office, Mr. Turner," the officer snapped, though his eyes flickered nervously toward the line of reporters who continued recording. "You and Mrs. Morris are required to come to headquarters for questioning."I tilted my head

    "Emergency press conference at city hall," Edward's chief legal counsel repeated over the speakerphone, his voice tight with anxiety. "Arthur has brought five major news networks, Mr. Edward. He is publicly accusing you of corporate fraud, claiming your marriage to Allana is an illegal sham designed to strip James of his rightful place in the company."Edward disconnected the call without a word. The archive room fell into a heavy silence. He placed his phone on the desk and turned to face me. The cold focus in his gray eyes showed no hesitation—only a dangerous readiness for war."Arthur is moving faster than expected," Edward said, his tone perfectly flat.I didn't step back. A cold, quiet smile touched my lips as I adjusted the lapel of my tailored black blazer. The anxiety that used to control me had completely vanished, replaced by an absolute resolve to take back what was mine."Good," I replied, looking straight into his eyes. "An open attack is much easier to crush than a snake

    Edward's secretary's statement made the air in the office freeze instantly.Through the massive glass wall on the upper floor, I could see dozens of camera flashes reflecting across the building's front courtyard.James stood there, surrounded by a sea of media microphones, his face filled with resentment, while Rose stood beside him with a satisfied smile.“James is using his position to gather the national media,” the secretary said, his voice trembling. “He's accusing Mrs. Allana of fraud and deliberately seducing you to seize control of Turner Group's assets!”I clenched my fists until my nails dug into my palms.Heat burned through my chest.James truly had no shame.He hadn't just stolen my work. Now he was trying to destroy my reputation in front of the entire country.I turned toward Edward.The man didn't look the slightest bit panicked.He calmly adjusted the buttons of his suit, every movement controlled, as though the storm raging outside were nothing more than a minor inc
