The Secret Billionaire Heiress Strikes Back Chapter 169
Chapter 169Marcello moved through his own event the way a king moved through a court he'd built specifically to flatter him — unhurried, unmasked, a glass of something dark in one hand, stopping every few feet to exchange a word with someone who mattered enough to warrant the pause. He wore a plain suit, expensive but understated, the specific understatement of a man who didn't need ornamentation to be recognized as the most important person in the room.He'd been watching the crowd for the better part of an hour, the way he always did before a race — not for entertainment, but for information. A man learned things by watching a crowd that he never learned by watching a track. Who stood near whom. Who avoided whom. Who carried themselves like they had something to prove and who carried themselves like they'd already proven it years ago and were simply waiting for everyone else to remember.His eyes caught on a figure near the bar — a man, mask
The Secret Billionaire Heiress Strikes Back Chapter 168
Chapter 168She found him near the bar, twenty minutes in, almost by accident — a man standing slightly apart from the cluster of guests around him, a glass in his hand that he wasn't drinking from, his mask a plain, unremarkable black that covered his eyes and the bridge of his nose but left his jaw exposed.The scar ran from the corner of his mouth up toward his cheekbone, thin and pale, the unmistakable shape of an X where two old cuts had crossed at some point in his life and healed into a single mark.Ravyn's pulse picked up, though her face gave away nothing."There," she said quietly, tilting her head a fraction toward him.Dante followed her gaze and went very still. "That's him.""Stay here," she said. "If something feels wrong, you come get me. Otherwise, give me space. I don't know how he reacts to an audience."Dante's jaw tightened, every protective instinct in him pulling against the instruction, but he'd promised her this
The Secret Billionaire Heiress Strikes Back Chapter 167
Chapter 167The venue revealed itself slowly, the way expensive secrets always did — first as nothing, an unmarked stretch of road outside the city where the streetlights thinned and the GPS insisted there was nothing ahead but warehouses and dark fields, and then, abruptly, as everything at once.The track sat in what had once been an industrial complex, repurposed sometime in the last decade by people with the money and the disregard for permits required to turn abandoned concrete into something that could host two thousand people without a single regulatory body knowing it existed. Floodlights ringed the perimeter, throwing the track itself into stark white relief against the dark sprawl of the old buildings around it. Cars filled an enormous makeshift lot — luxury vehicles parked with valet precision, drivers in dark suits directing traffic with the smooth efficiency of men who did this often enough to have it down to a science.Dante drove them in slo
The Secret Billionaire Heiress Strikes Back Chapter 166
Chapter 166Jana's apartment smelled like cinnamon, which meant she'd been baking again, which meant R was already going to be in a good mood before Ravyn even rang the bell. Ravyn stood on the landing for a moment longer than she needed to, the duffel bag of R's overnight things slung over one shoulder, his favorite stuffed pterodactyl tucked under her arm because he'd refused to leave without it, and tried to settle her face into something that wouldn't give anything away.She'd practiced this conversation twice in the car. Both times it had come out wrong — too careful, too rehearsed, the specific wrongness of a lie that had been polished too smooth to feel like the truth. She'd decided, in the end, to just let it be simple. Simple lies survived better than elaborate ones. R had a gift for finding the seams in anything overworked.She rang the bell.Jana opened the door already laughing at something Miles — her Miles, the classmate, not Aspen's Mil

Chapter 165Aspen's invitation arrived the same way Rhys's had — by hand, no return address, gold foil on black — except hers came with a small handwritten note tucked inside, three words in a careful, deliberate script: *Miles will explain.*She found Miles in his study that evening, a glass of something amber already in his hand, his posture loose in the particular way it got when he was pleased about something and hadn't decided yet how much of his pleasure to show."You got one too," he said, before she'd even finished crossing the room, nodding at the envelope in her hand."What is this," Aspen said, holding it up. "The King's Race? Some kind of charity thing?"Miles laughed, low, the sound carrying an edge of condescension he didn't bother to hide from her anymore. "It's not a charity thing. It's better than that. It's an investment opportunity, if you know how to read it correctly.""Explain it like I don't already know ho
The Secret Billionaire Heiress Strikes Back Chapter 164
Chapter 164Phoenix was waiting by the car when Rhys came down, already holding the door, the quiet efficiency of a man who had learned, over years, exactly when his employer would be ready to leave without needing to be told.Orion was in the front passenger seat, going through something on a tablet, the soft blue glow of the screen the only light in the car beyond the streetlamps outside."Change of plans," Rhys said, sliding into the back. "I'm going to the King's Race."Phoenix, halfway into the driver's seat, paused."You turned that down three days ago," Orion said, not looking up from the tablet."I did," Rhys said."What changed."Rhys considered how to answer that honestly without overstating what he actually had — a flicker on a screen, an answer that didn't sit right, the particular instinct he'd developed over years of negotiation for noticing when someone was being careful with him in a way that suggested they had something
