"I don't care how I look."

"You should." Her voice sharpened, blade-thin. "Waiting makes you vulnerable. Public uncertainty erodes power faster than failure. At least failure is decisive. Alicia's absence will be weaponized. By the board that thinks you're distracted. Competitors who think you're o

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 449

    The engines went quiet at six. The hull met the pier. The crew moved above us. River light came through the porthole, grey and silver, crossing the ceiling in slow panels. She was on her side facing me. Her hair across the pillow. Her mouth softly parted in the way that belonged only to sleep. I

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 448

    Edward’s POV The hull rose and settled with the slow pull of the river. I lay in the dark with my jacket on the floor and my shoes beside it and listened to the boat. The timber. The joins. The engine below running its low faithful count. The porthole showed clouds. The moon behind it traced the

    "I fell off a bicycle when I was seven," I said. "Broke my arm. The left one." "You're afraid of the dark," he said. "You sleep with the curtain open so the street light comes in. You never told me directly but I worked it out in the third month." I set down my wine. "You remember that." "I remem

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 446

    Alicia's POV The dress arrived at four. I found the box on Elena's table. Black paper, no ribbon, his handwriting stark on the card: The water. Inside, folded in tissue, was the black silk from the wardrobe at the estate. The one I had left hanging there. I showered. I pinned my hair up. At seve

    Edward's POV The grey light filled the room. Alicia's leg lay across mine, heavy with sleep. Her hair spread on my shoulder, across the pillow. Her palm rested on my chest, rising and falling with my breath. The arm beneath her had gone numb hours ago. I flexed my fingers until the pins and needl

    Alicia's POV He was on the floor. I looked at him until the silence found its shape. He looked back. The full version of him. Just Edward on the floor, his eyes on mine, waiting without arranging what he was waiting for. "We never chose each other," he said. "Let me choose you." "Then start,"

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 211

    Edward's POV I stood exactly where she'd left me. My arm was still extended slightly, reaching toward nothing. The balcony elongated, and empty. Below, the city throbbed with sirens and traffic, uninterrupted. I did not move. My chest felt tight. I forced air deeper. Held it. Released it slowly

  • Beneath His Cold Vows   Chapter 219

    Alicia's POV The apartment was quiet in a way that felt temporary, as if it were holding its breath between one thing and the next. I stood at the sink washing a mug I'd already washed. The water ran warm over my hands. I watched soap circle the drain and tried not to think about anything in part

    The table went still. I set my fork down. Looked at Daniel. He met my eyes. Waited. "Daniel's in the best position to know," I said. The words came out flat. Held. But underneath, something was burning. Grandma's eyebrows lifted. She turned to Daniel. "What does he mean? Is she well?" Daniel t
