The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase Chapter 55 - Hawaiian Deception
Valentina’s POV I woke up to birdsong and golden sunlight pouring through gauzy curtains. The air was thick with floral warmth and the distant sound of waves. But something wasn’t quite right. The different scent, the silence…Was I dreaming? Was I dead? Had I gone to paradise? “Father…?” I called out weakly. “Paolo?” No answer. Just the rustle of palm trees and the soft hum of an overhead fan. I blinked, trying to sit up—but my body felt like it had been stitched back together and then hit by a train. Pain throbbed through my shoulder and chest. I groaned from the weight of it. The floor was laid with pale stone I didn’t recognize. A balcony opened to an endless stretch of ocean. But it wasn’t the Persian Gulf… and it wasn’t the Al-Faw Peninsula. So this wasn’t Raffaele’s beach house either. A champagne bottle sat in a silver bucket, its ice melting slowly. Designer robes hung neatly on velvet hooks. The whole room looked like a postcard version of heaven.
The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase Chapter 54 - Blood Soaked Dunes
Raffaele’s POV I sat in silence in Valentina’s room. The drip slowly fed into her veins. Her pulse was steady, but faint. A heart monitor beeped in the stillness, and the air conditioning vent hummed above us. Our fragile trust was shattered. And our enemies were tightening their grip. Would I protect Valentina as a man betrayed… or as the only one left who truly understands the cost of love and war? I didn’t speak. I didn’t touch her. I just looked at her. She looked like a pale sleeping beauty. A far cry from the fierce woman who once commanded the attention of a whole room. I leaned down and whispered into her ear. It didn’t matter if she heard it or not. “You lied to me, Valentina… but I still chose to fight for you. And things will never be the same again. Just wake up—for my sake—and you’ll see…” Then I walked slowly out, leaving her with nothing but the soft beep of the machine behind me. I’m not the villain she tries to paint me as. But I’m no traditional hero eith
The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase Chapter 53 - The Question
Raffaele’s POV They rushed Valentina into emergency surgery, her blood staining everything—sheets, gloves, and floors. How could someone lose so much blood? I stood motionless outside the operating room in the corridor, unable to move or breathe. My shirt was still soaked with her blood, clinging to my skin like a second punishment. Hembapu Zimmermann stepped beside me and clasped a firm hand on my shoulder. “They are doing emergency surgery, sir. Don’t worry, Mr. Ricchezza—she is in safe hands, the very best. She is in the hands of God and the best surgeons Swakopmund has to offer,” he said soothingly. “Are you a man of religion, Mr. Raffaele? Now would be a good time to pray. I can pray with you if you’d like?” “Yes,” I said quietly. “I would appreciate it.” So we prayed in silence. Then the silence broke as armed forces flooded the hospital corridor. Tension escalated instantly as two imposing, dark-skinned men exchanged looks that could kill—but somehow, they managed to
The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase Chapter 52 - Protective Instincts
Raffaele’s POV I had followed that falcon on a whim. It dropped her sandal almost in my lap—like a sign from fate, an omen from God Himself. It had to mean something. She meant something to me. Even if she’d lied. Even if my spirit was crushed. I couldn’t let it end like this. I had to find her. I prayed silently in my heart for a miracle. I rode like a madman through the desert night, the wind slicing my face, my heart pounding louder than the hooves beneath me. Then I saw her. Barely standing. Limping on one leg, barefoot in sand that had burned like fire and now bit like ice. Her hair was tangled, her dress torn. But her spine was straight. Her chin lifted. I saw the defiance in her face—fierce and radiant even in the dark. She stared straight at them—Miles and Tariq, laughing like jackals in that dune buggy, like hunting her was just a game. I swear she smirked, fearless to the end. Then she turned her face fully toward the gun and just stared death in t
The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase Chapter 51 - Desert Pursuit
Valentina’s POV My sandal were gone. My one foot burned with every step across the scalding sand. Each breath felt like flame scraping down my throat. My lips were dry, cracked and tasted like salt and regret. I didn’t know how far I’d wandered. I didn’t care. The wind had scattered my tracks, and Raffaele was nowhere in sight. Good. Maybe I needed to be lost — to pay for my sins. It felt like it was just me, the desert, and God. So I guess it was time to confess. But how could I confess when I didn’t even know how I felt? Would my father turn in his grave if I ever gave my love to the enemy? I don’t think I could forgive myself. The sun hung mercilessly overhead, blistering the dunes and my skin alike. Sweat dripped into my lashes. My dress clung to me, heavy with dust and heat. I dragged one foot after the other, stumbling. My shadow stretched long behind me, the only proof I still existed, even when everything inside me felt scorched hollow. My body ached but my he
The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase Chapter 50 - The Falcon’s Omen
Valentina’s POV The desert blurred around me as I rode, fast, furious and aimless. I couldn’t see as sand stung my eyes, wind slapped my cheeks, but it was nothing compared to what burned inside me. Raffaele’s words still echoed in my head. Every accusation, every doubt. Did you sleep with them? You’re not worthy! I dug my heels in harder, pushing the horse faster towards it’s limits. I didn’t know where I was going—only that I had to get away. Eventually, the golden dunes gave way to something unexpected. Palm trees. A sliver pool of still water reflecting the sky. An oasis. I dismounted clumsily, nearly stumbling in the sand. My heart was racing. My chest felt tight. I didn’t cry—I couldn’t. I just… undid the straps of my sandals, let them fall, and walked into the water fully clothed. The chill bit into my skin. But I welcomed it. I wanted to wash everything off. The betrayal. The guilt. The ache in my chest that wouldn’t leave no matter how far I ran. I wanted Raff
