Atty. Garette who knows the familiar voice quickly turned his back to see the disturbance.

“What Bro, are you not going to greet me? Long time no see, haha,” Atty. Paolo was in his high moment, with open arms as if waiting for Atty. Garette to run to him and hug him.

“Put down your arms. You are acting as if we are lovers who have never seen each other for a long time,” Atty. Garette said chuckling while he was looking at the open arms of Atty. Paolo.

Atty. Paolo laughed more. He walked toward them and he was as if wanting to embrace Dianthe but Atty. Garette, slapped his arm.

“Cut that off, Paolo. You are overacting,” Atty. Garette said while frowning at Atty. Paolo.

“Alright, alright. I am just happy you came back and much happier that you came back here with Miss Dianthe with you,” he said while winking at Dianthe. “Hi Miss Dianthe,” he said further while extending his hand to her for a handshake.

Dianthe, was already smiling wide with the naughtiness of Atty. Paolo. She accepted

    The silver key sat in the palm of Dianthe’s hand, cold and deceptively heavy. It didn't look like a standard house key; it was a bit bigger than ordinary keys. Just as her fingers brushed the folder underneath, she heard the floorboards in the hallway groan.She acted on instinct, sliding the key into the deep pocket of her robe and stepping away from the desk just as Garette appeared in the doorway.He wasn't wearing his usual armor of a three-piece suit. He was simply wearing his boxer shorts and white cotton shirt, his hair sleep-mussed, his eyes blinking against the study’s light. He looked human—vulnerable, even."Dianthe?" he asked, his voice thick with sleep. "It’s three in the morning. What are you doing in here?""I... I couldn't sleep," she said, her heart hammering against her ribs. She prayed he couldn't see the outline of the key through the silk of her robe. "The wind was rattling the shutters. I came down for some water and saw the light on."Garette walked toward her,

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 53 - The Key To The Truth

    After doing the necessary actions related to the Sandra Belosh case, Garette and Dianthe were on the O’ Le Briene’s private jet, before the sun rise the next morning, going back to Texas.The private jet touched down on the ranch’s landing strip just as the Texas sun began to dip below the horizon, painting the sky in aggressive shades of violet and gold. The transition from the foggy, ancient streets of Cambridge and the luxury of London to the raw, dusty air of the ranch felt like waking up from a dream.The ride from the hangar to the main house was silent. Garette sat in the back of the SUV, his eyes fixed on the flickering shadows of the fence lines. He was no longer just the "Lawyer Shark" or the "Husband." He was a man sitting on a secret that could dismantle the very empire they were driving toward.When the car pulled up to the grand entrance, the staff were lined up as usual, but the atmosphere was different. The news of the Cambridge "garden battle" had traveled fast; the

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 52: A Kiss of Apology

    The drive from the hotel’s restaurant to Garette’s sub-firm office in London was a blur of rain-slicked motorways and heavy, thoughtful silence. Garette sat in the back of the sleek black town car, his laptop open on his knees, but his eyes were fixed on Dianthe. She was staring out the window, her hand—the one wearing the big wedding sized diamond—resting on the leather seat between them.She had been a lioness in that garden party of Elena Vance and while in the restaurant rebutting at Sandra Belosh but now she looked like she was mourning something."You're remarkably quiet for a woman who just decimated a supermodel in front of the international press, and a tiger heiress," Garette said softly, reaching out to lace his fingers with hers."I didn't do it for the press or anyone else, Garette," she replied without turning her head. "I did it because they both tried to make me feel small. And I’m tired of people in your world thinking I don’t have a right to the air I breathe."Garet

    The ambiance of the five-star restaurant at the Savoy was designed for discretion—dim lighting, thick velvet booths, and the soft clinking of silver against bone china. But despite the luxury, the air at the table was sharp enough to draw blood.Atty. Garette sat with his back to the wall, the quintessential executive in a charcoal-grey suit that screamed power and precision. Beside him, Dianthe felt the weight of the room’s gaze. She was no longer just the woman from the garden party; she was the wife of the most formidable legal mind in the country. However, the woman sitting across from them didn’t seem to care about titles.Sandra Belosh was a vision of calculated, high-fashion aggression. Clad in a scarlet Dior suit that mirrored the deep red of the vintage Bordeaux she was currently swirling, she looked like a female hawk waiting for the right moment to strike. Her father, the late Josh Belosh, had been a titan of industry, leaving behind a retail empire consisting of eight mass

    As the elevator door opened, Garette gently pulled Dianthe inside and as the door closed, he enclosed her in his arms. In a second his lips claimed hers in a possessive, excited manner.When they reached the floor of their booked suite room, Garette carried Dianthe in a bridal style from the elevator to their room.The click of the main door lock was the starting gun.Atty. Garette didn’t even wait to reach the bedroom. He pressed Dianthe against the mahogany door of the suite, his hands tangling in her hair, sending the pins from the garden party scattering across the floor. The scent of Elena Vance’s expensive catering and the suffocating high-society perfume was replaced by the intoxicating musk of Garette’s skin and the sweetness of the perfume on Dianthe’s smooth skin."I’ve been wanting to do that since the moment we stepped onto that lawn," Garette growled, his lips grazing the sensitive skin of her throat.Dianthe arched her back, her hands frantic as she clawed at his silk ti

    The air in the suite was brittle. Dianthe stood before the full-length mirror, staring at her reflection. She wasn't the girl from the ranch today. She wasn't the nurse in scrubs. She reached into her jewelry case and pulled out the diamond ring Garette had bought her—the one she had called a "shackle." She put it there before she took a shower. She slid it onto her finger, the stone catching the cold Cambridge light like a weapon.Garette watched her from the doorway, his eyes dark and unreadable. He had seen her handle medical emergencies with ice in her veins, but he had never seen her look like this—composed, sharp, and dangerous."You don't have to do this, Dianthe," he said, though his voice betrayed his pride. "I can have security clear the garden.""No," Dianthe said, turning to face him. She smoothed the skirt of her tailored, deep-red dress. "You said it’s a war. In my village, when a predator comes to your door, you don't hide in the cellar. You show them that the house is
