The morning after the city excursion was not filled with the warm, lingering glow of reconciliation. The warmth of the night was gone in haste. Instead, a thick, gray fog rolled over the Texas ranch, matching the sudden coldness that had settled back over Garette Le Brione.

He was the first to wake, the silver light of dawn illuminating the tangled sheets. He looked at Dianthe, her face peaceful in sleep, her hand still resting near his heart. For a brief, terrifying second, Garette felt a wave of such intense vulnerability that it made him physically ache. He had let her in. He had whispered things in the dark that he hadn't even admitted to himself.

To the the famous cold-hearted Atty. Le Brione, vulnerability was a death sentence. It was a weakness his rivals would exploit, a crack in the armor that had made him a billionaire lawyer.

Panicked by his own emotions, Garette’s survival instinct kicked in. He didn't wake her with a kiss. He didn't linger. He stood up, showered in freezi

  • The Playboy Attorney & His Arranged Wife   Chapter 36: Her Terms

    The drive from the bus stop to the Houston Medical Center was a study in atmospheric pressure. Inside the silver Ferrari, the air was thick, charged with the scent of rain, expensive leather, and the raw, jagged edges of a pride that had been pushed to its limit.Garette drove with a focused intensity, his knuckles white on the steering wheel. He kept glancing at Dianthe in the periphery. She sat rigidly against the passenger door, staring out at the blurred lights of the city. She looked small, shivering slightly in her damp clothes, yet there was a newfound iron in her posture that made him feel like he was the one being scrutinized under a microscope."Stop looking at me like I’m a witness you’re trying to intimidate," Dianthe said, her voice cutting through the hum of the engine."I’m checking to see if you’re going to jump out of a moving vehicle," Garette retorted, his voice raspy. "You’ve already proven you’re reckless enough to walk ten miles in a thunderstorm.""I wasn't bein

    The silence that followed the slamming of the front door was louder than any of Garette’s outbursts. It was a heavy, suffocating thing that filled the corridors of the mansion, mocking the high ceilings and the expensive art. Garette stood at the window, his breath fogging the glass, watching the small, retreating figure of Dianthe until she was nothing more than a speck against the vast, gray Texas horizon."She’ll be back," he muttered, his voice sounding hollow in the large kitchen. "She’s halfway to the main road. She’ll realize she has no car, no phone—I have her phone—and she’ll come crawling back."He picked up the diamond ring on the floor. It felt cold, unnervingly light. He pocketed it, his jaw set in a grim line. He returned to his coffee, but it had gone bitter. He tried to check his emails, but the words blurred. Every time he closed his eyes, he didn't see a legal brief; he saw the look of absolute, soul-deep exhaustion in Dianthe’s eyes before she walked out.He was int

    The morning sun had barely begun to burn the dew off the Texas plains when the intercom in the master room buzzed with the persistence of a hornet. Garette groaned, untangling himself from the silk sheets and the lingering warmth of Dianthe’s proximity."What?" he barked into the receiver."Garette," his father’s voice came through, sounding suspiciously energetic for a man on his deathbed. "The ranch and the dairy can survive without you for twelve hours. Today, you are taking your wife to the city. My personal accounts have been cleared for a private shopping spree at the Galleria, followed by dinner at Hotel Sienna Vanna. Consider it a mandatory honeymoon phase."Garette ran a hand through his messy hair, glancing at Dianthe, who was propped up on her elbows, looking radiant even in the early light. "Father, I have a merger meeting—""Cancel it. Or I’ll change the executor of the trust by noon," the old man chuckled. "Take the girl out. Buy her the world. And Garette? Try to look l

    The harsh Texas sun pierced through the gaps in the heavy velvet curtains, casting long, golden spears across the crumpled silk sheets of the Presidential suite. Garette stirred, his arm instinctively tightening around the warm, soft curve of the woman beside him. For a moment, the high-powered lawyer was lost in the haze of a dream—the scent of vanilla and the memory of a surrender that had felt more like a victory than any courtroom verdict.Then, reality crashed back in.He opened his eyes and looked at Dianthe. She was still asleep, her dark hair fanning across his pillow, her lips slightly parted. The "virgin fairy" was now his wife. He looked at the gold band on his finger, then at the corresponding one on hers. The weight of it felt heavier than he expected.Garette slipped out of bed with the silent grace of a predator, pulling on a silk robe. He watched her for a moment longer, a flicker of that newfound tenderness warring with his ingrained cynicism. He had promised to make

    The limousine pulled away from the gilded gates of the Le Brione estate, leaving the flashing bulbs and the "Wedding of the Year" behind. Inside the plush, leather-lined limousine, the air was thick with the scent of vanilla and the sharp, electric tension that had been building between Garette and Dianthe all day. Garette’s hand went inside the hem of Dianthe’s dress. He then completely loosened his tie with a sharp tug, tossing it onto the car’s floor. He shifted closer to Dianthe, his eyes dark with a focused, predatory intent. The "Shark" was hungry to claim his formerly forbidden desire."The performance is over, Mrs. Le Brione," he said, his voice a low vibration that seemed to hum against her skin. He reached out, his hand sliding up her silk-clad thigh, his thumb tracing slow, deliberate circles. "No more cameras. No more fake smiles. Just the debt you’ve been avoiding."Dianthe gasped, her back pressing against the car’s backrest. "Garette, the driver...""The glass is sound
