The woman smiled widely at Atty. Garette, as if only he was present inside the restaurant.

“Atty. Garette, oh, hello. Such a coincidence to see you here. How long have you been back in the city?” she asked with a flirtatious smile as she hooked her hand to his right arm.

Atty. Garette side glanced at Dianthe and looked at the woman holding his right arm with his cold eyes. He simply removed her hand from his arm and then looked at Dianthe again which caught the attention of the woman. She looked

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Epilogue: The Legacy of the Thorne-Le Brione

    One year had passed since the cries of a newborn shattered the midnight silence of the manor. The Texas sun was now shining on a transformed estate. The once-stark legal war room was now a vibrant family home, the gardens filled with the laughter of a growing dynasty and the scent of blooming sampaguita—a touch of the Philippines Dianthe had brought to the ranch.The celebration for Leo Raffy Le Brione’s first birthday was the social event of the decade, but the guest list remained strictly intimate. The "Inner Circle" had gathered on the sprawling lawn, which was decorated with custom silk banners designed by the now-famous VIVI-AMBER label.Leo sat on a throne-like high chair, happily smashing a piece of cake. He was the perfect blend of his parents—possessing Garette’s piercing, observant eyes and Dianthe’s warm, effortless smile.As the sun began to set, the four men who had once been known only as the most ruthless legal team in the country stood together by the outdoor bar.Greg

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 85 - A New Beginning For Greg And Amber

    The sun dipped below the Texas horizon, bleeding into shades of bruised purple and molten gold, as if the sky itself was acknowledging the gravity of the union about to take place. The Thorne-Le Brione Manor had been transformed. Thousands of white lilies and orchids lined the perimeter, their fragrance thick and sweet in the evening air, competing with the crisp, metallic scent of the nearby plains. High above the manicured lawns, crystal chandeliers hung from invisible armatures within massive white silk tents, their light refracting against the champagne flutes of the global elite.This was more than a wedding; it was a summit. The "Sharks" were no longer just a legal team; they were becoming a dynasty.Garette stood at the altar as Best Man, a silent sentinel of power. His presence alone was enough to quell any lingering whispers regarding Greg’s past. Beside him, Dianthe stood with a radiant, soft strength, cradling baby Leo. The child, swaddled in silk, represented the new era o

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 84 - A Father’s Fear

    The drive to the sprawling Miller estate in London was silent, the air inside the car pressurized by Greg’s uncharacteristic stillness. For a man who lived and breathed high-stakes litigation, he looked like a soldier preparing to walk into a minefield. Beside him, Amber was a vision of cool, ivory silk, but her fingers were curled tightly around the handle of her briefcase.“My father doesn’t negotiate, Greg,” Amber said, her voice cutting through the hum of the engine. “Billionaire oil and shipping magnates don’t care about ‘the truth’ or ‘redemption.’ They care about assets, liabilities, and ROI. To him, you are a partner with a fifty percent depreciation value because of your past.”Greg adjusted his cufflinks, his jaw set in a hard line. “Then I’ll just have to show him that my value isn't in the ledger he’s reading.”When the car pulled up to the Miller manor—a limestone fortress that looked like it had been built to withstand a siege—the doors were opened by security detail tha

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 83 - Another Celebration

    The Texas morning broke with a clarity that felt almost cinematic, the sky a vast, unblemished blue that stretched toward the horizon. Inside the Thorne-Le Brione Manor, the atmosphere had shifted. The heavy, suffocating weight of secrets had been replaced by a quiet, rhythmic hum of a life being rebuilt.In the master suite, Garette and Dianthe were enjoying a rare moment of undisturbed peace. Baby Leo was sound asleep in his cradle, a tiny anchor of hope in the center of their world. Garette sat at the edge of the bed, watching Dianthe brush her hair, the sunlight catching the gold highlights in the dark strands."You’re staring," she said, catching his eye in the mirror with a playful smirk."I’m observing," Garette corrected, his voice low and warm. "There’s a difference. One is passive; the other is the strategic appreciation of my wife."Dianthe laughed, setting the brush down and turning to face him. "Is that the ‘Shark’ talking, or the man who spent three hours last night rese

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 82 - Small Gathering

    The following evening, the usual high-voltage tension of the Thorne-Le Brione Manor was replaced by the clinking of silverware and the soft, melodic hum of a family finding its rhythm. Garette and Dianthe had arranged a small, intimate gathering in the conservatory—a room draped in jasmine vines and bathed in the soft glow of oversized lanterns. It wasn't a corporate gala or a strategic dinner; it was a welcome.Garette sat at the head of the table, baby Leo asleep in a bassinet just inches from his chair. He looked at Dianthe, who was radiant in a simple silk wrap dress, sharing a laugh with Greg’s mother, Elena. The "Shark" felt a strange sense of equilibrium. For years, he had fought to protect a legacy that felt like a burden; now, he was watching a family grow into its own strength."I have to admit," Garette said, raising a glass of vintage red toward Greg and Amber. "The manor feels a lot less like a fortress tonight and a lot more like a home. To the truth—no matter how messy

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 81 - The Arrival Of Greg’s Past

    The Texas sun was unforgivingly bright as the black Cadillac Escalade pulled through the ornate gates of the Thorne-Le Brione Manor. Inside the library, Greg stood as still as a statue, his hands clasped behind his back so tightly his knuckles were white. Beside him, Amber was a vision of professional poise in a cream-colored silk suit, though the slight tremor in her fingers as she adjusted her glasses betrayed the storm brewing beneath her calm exterior.The arrival of Greg’s past wasn't just a meeting; it was a collision of two worlds. When the car door opened, it wasn't just two children who stepped out, but the pillars of Greg’s foundation—his mother, Elena, and his father, Arthur.The two boys, six-year-old Mateo and four-year-old Lucas, looked like smaller, unpolished versions of Greg. Mateo had the same sharp, inquisitive eyes, while little Lucas possessed the mischievous smirk that Greg often used to disarm his opponents in the boardroom. They clung to the hands of their gran

    They found Raffy Le Brione thrashing against the silk sheets of his massive four-poster bed. His skin was gray, slick with a cold sweat, and his eyes were wide, staring at a corner of the room as if he were seeing ghosts."Raffy, look at me," Dianthe said, moving to his side and checking his pulse.

    He pulled her closer and whispered to her right ear, “Let us go to the bed. It is time to enjoy each other again.” There was a certain tease on his tone and Dianthe could not help to giggle.She turned around and faced him, her expression was filled tease too. “What kind of enjoyment you have in mi

    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 i

    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
