What the Heart Hides

“Edward! W-What are you doing here?” she stammered, quickly standing and turning to face him. Her hands instinctively moved behind her back, trying to hide the sketch she’d been working on.
Her cheeks flushed deep red. He’d definitely seen it. She could feel it in the way he was smiling—soft, amused, and far too knowing.
“You don’t have to hide it,” Edward said, stepping closer. “I already saw. So this is what you’ve been secretly sketching instead of jewelry designs… Me?”
He reached behind her and gently tugged the sketchpad from her hands.
“Edward, give it back!” Abigail said, reaching for it, but he stepped back with a grin, lifting the pad just out of her reach.
“Nope. Too late. I’ve seen it now,” he teased, flipping through the

Too Close To Handle What the Heart Hides

Too Close To Handle The Silence She Chose
Edward had no choice. Abigail had asked—no, insisted—and now she was Chloe’s secretary. It grated on him. Every time he saw her trailing behind Chloe, arms full of folders and bags like some glorified assistant, something twisted in his gut. No one knew about her at Ulrick. No one knew what she meant to Edward. So he sat there, fists clenched under the table, jaw tight, doing nothing.Until she walked into the boardroom.Edward’s eyes snapped to the door the moment Abigail stepped in behind Chloe, struggling with a mountain of documents. She stumbled—just a little—but it was enough to make him shoot up from his seat. His heart jumped. But before he could move, Roen was already there, steadying her with one hand.Papers flew everywhere.“Seriously?” Chloe barked, spinning around. “You can’t even carry a few folders without tripping?”“I’m sorry,” Abigail said, voice small, cheeks burning.“Sorry doesn’t fix clumsy. Pick it up. You’re holding up the meeting.”She bent down, face flushed
Too Close To Handle Worthy of Us
“Seriously, why are you so noisy? And why haven’t you crashed yet?” Edward asked, just as the bathroom door clicked open.Abigail froze, blinking at him.He stepped out, robe loosely tied, chest still damp, a towel slung over his shoulder as he dried his tousled hair. The bitter scent of alcohol clinging to him earlier had mostly faded, replaced by the faint fragrance of his soap.“I-I thought something happened in there,” she said, voice half-defensive, half-concerned. “You were taking forever.”Edward smirked. “Oh, come on. You really thought I drowned in the tub?” he teased, ruffling her hair like she was some nervous kitten. “Go lie down, sleepyhead. I’ll change and be right there.”She followed him with her eyes as he disappeared into the walk-in closet, then quietly padded over to the bed. By the time Edward came out in his pajamas, she was already under the covers—
Too Close To Handle Lines Drawn in Marble
“You’ve made yourself right at home, haven’t you?” said a voice sharp as glass from the doorway, just as the maid quietly set down a glass of milk in front of Abigail. The family had just finished dinner when she arrived—not that she had any intention of joining them. Her stomach churned just looking at the lavish meals whipped up by the mansion’s chefs. So she asked for something simpler. Something her body could handle. Milk. And of course, that’s exactly the moment James and Tiffany walked in.Abigail turned fast, catching sight of them together. It didn’t surprise her, not really. They were dating. Tiffany showing up was expected. But the timing? Icy.“So you really skipped dinner,” James began, voice cool and laced with judgment. “You know how much Grandpa Bernard hates it when we don't eat as a family. But you just—what? Decided your comfort was more important?”“I didn&rsq
Too Close To Handle The Weight He Never Shared
“Roen!” Abigail’s voice caught in the air just as he stepped out into the lobby of the Ulrick Building. She spotted him right on time, rushing toward him before he could disappear.Roen stopped in his tracks, eyebrows lifting in surprise. “Abigail? Whoa, slow down—don’t run,” he said, worry flashing in his eyes as she hurried to him.“I wasn’t going far,” he added, stepping closer instinctively. “You didn’t have to sprint like that.”Abigail finally reached him, breathing lightly, cheeks flushed from the brief dash. There was a smile on her face—half from relief, half from sheer happiness at seeing someone familiar.Roen studied her for a beat. Her smile was sweet, but he knew better. The doctor had made it clear: Abigail’s pregnancy needed special care. And while it wasn’t in his job description to play bodyguard, being Edward’s assistant came with unexp
Too Close To Handle Velvet Threats and Silent Scandals
“Figures,” Chloe muttered, lips tugging into a wry smile as she turned away and walked toward Edward’s desk. Halfway there, she stopped and glanced back at him.“You didn’t marry her because you loved her—I know that. Because deep down, I’m still the only woman you ever really loved.”Edward raised an eyebrow, arms crossed. “You’re full of yourself.”“Just being honest.” Chloe shrugged. “I was your first. The first woman Edward Ulrick cared about. You're the kind of guy who buries himself in work and skips the drama. I know it wasn’t easy for you when I left.”He didn’t say anything, but the silence hung heavy. She stepped closer, voice softer.“I’m sorry for vanishing. I know it was messed up. I should’ve told you... I hurt you.”“Yeah. And I got over it,” he said, brushing her off. “You should too.”Chloe flinched at that. His words stung more than she’d expected.“You're really gonna stand there and pretend
