Valentina’s POV

I had asked Giuliana to prepare the luxury hotel’s open-air amphitheater—staged and ready for me.

I stood behind a towering champagne fountain, mic in one hand, still favoring the side where the stitches strained against my movements.

The pain from the gunshot hadn’t vanished—it had simply learned to live with me.

I moved as naturally and gracefully as I could.

The setting was tropical and lush, framed by white columns and swaying palms.

The hotel itself—an elite cliffside resort overlooking the Pacific—boasted infinity pools, firelit walkways, and soft golden lighting that made everything shimmer like a dream.

My red, open-back dress hugged me in all the right places. I knew Raffaele’s eyes would be on me—and only me—tonight.

I gave a low whistle.

Lorenzo, my lion, made his grand entrance. Heads turned. Gasps followed.

“I know you all know Lorenzo by now,” I said into the mic, my voice smooth and sweet, “but I wanted him here for this special night.”

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 99 - Royal Bloodline

    Valentina’s POV I was still in the hot tub at The Lonely Space Gobi Wild Luxury Hotel when Raffaele gave me that strange look—that sideways glance like it was something he was holding back from me. He hesitated. I tilted my head. “What? You’re not gonna tell me what’s going on?” He didn’t answer right away. “It’s nothing,” he said, shaking his head. “I’m just thinking. Try not to get all defensive—I’m tired…” I narrowed my eyes. “I’m not being defensive. You’re being weird.” He looked at me again, more serious this time. He shifted in the water, not meeting my gaze. “I’m just trying to figure out how to say it.” That made me pause and my stomach dipped. I chewed on my lip nervously, eyeing him. “Say what?” Something about the way he looked at me… I already knew it wasn’t good. He finally met my eyes. “I got the full report from Matteo,” he said quietly. “You’re a match.” I frowned. “A match for what?” He took a slow breath and His voice dropped lower now ”The DNA. The

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 98 - Laboratory Analysis

    Valentina’s POV Raffaele and I fell through the spirit gate, purple sparks flying as the wind howled around us. Inside me, I felt the flower burning. Lines from the chant of the third tether surged through my chest— “The soul is a shadow that longs to roam… Rise on wings to claim the throne… Or let your spirit cling to bone…” I squeezed my eyes shut, praying we wouldn’t die. Then I landed hard—right on top of Raffaele with a groan that wasn’t mine. “Valentina,” he gasped, half-winded, “you’ll be the death of me.” I let out a breathless laugh. “Oh, but what a beautiful, poetic death, no?” I smirked down at him. “Or how did Tatekulu put it back in the helicopter?” He gave me a look. Then, mimicking the tone, he added, “‘If you’re the one digging us out of some ditch, I can die a happy man.’” He let out a soft huff. “He elbowed me when he said it, too.” He laughed. “I remember. All right. Just—please don’t crush my ribs again.” “And somehow… we were still alive,” I whis

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 97 - A Crescent Moon

    Valentina’s POV The men were still catching their breath, sweaty and silent, having just finished burying the giant skeletons. I turned around at the sudden whirring noise above. “A drone!” My scarf snapped in the wind as I looked to Raffaele. “It’s Tariq—I know it is!” A burst of static cracked through the drone’s speaker before his voice came through, distorted but unmistakable. “Princess, you’re right. You think you can outrun me, but I will find you—wherever you are.” He snorted darkly. “You think you can uncover what I did here? Good luck with that, Valentina. Not even the Chinese know. You’re chasing ghosts in Ghost City… and soon, you’ll be one of them.” Then his voice came out twisting through the static a bit distorted. It echoed across the ridge, wrapped in wind and technical wire. “You think the Saffron Veil and the Americans realize I’m playing them both?” He laughed low, smug. “They don’t.” “The Saffron Veil is dying to see how the red flower blooms… to fe

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 96 - The Moon Marks the Dead

    Valentina’s POV The wind shifted as we passed beneath the dragon-shaped ridge. It was incredibly long—about forty meters. Somehow, it truly looked like a dragon’s spine before it melted into the natural rock formations that continued in a similar pattern across the slope. Could any animal have really been that big? “Your satellite scans, Raffaele, showed the formation continues above ground for nearly ten kilometers, right?” I asked, eyes tracing the eerie ridgeline. I slipped my hand into his. Raffaele’s fingers were warm. Safe. I needed that right now. I didn’t trust Kaifeng Lei or the Bone Sons. Money could only take us so far. I’d been testing them. Charm was my shield. “I’m sorry if it made you uncomfortable, caro,” I murmured, keeping my eyes on the ridge. “I had to make sure he wouldn’t push you off the cliff. Your money’s only as good as the mood it buys.” I glanced sideways at him. Raffaele gave the slightest nod, his jaw tense. “He has that predator chemistry…ch

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 95 - The Violin Made of Bones

    Raffaele’s POV We flew in by helicopter, the sound of the blades steady above us as the strangely shaped mountains unfolded below. “Hembapu, everything all right?” I asked into the headset. “Yes, Mr. Ricchezza,” he said with a wide smile. “Relax. Enjoy the ride.” Easier said than done. You could already tell the fossils had turned to stone. No ordinary mountain ridge had the shape of a spine like that. What was it? I guess only the Chinese authorities would really know. “Kaifeng Lei is flying in the other helicopter with the equipment and the rest of his men. From there, we’ll have to continue on foot. Will that be a problem?” Captain Hembapu asked me. We’d been flying for about forty-five minutes. “It’s all right. Prepare for landing,” I said. “Find a suitable plateau.” When we landed somewhere in the middle of nowhere, I pressed the headset mic closer. “Chief Nangolo, Commander Kalenga, Tatekulu, unload our equipment,” I said, scanning the ridge ahead. I

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 94 - The Dragon Drinks First

    Raffaele’s POV I woke up with Valentina curled against me. She was wearing thin, sexy underwear, her body warm and soft against mine. She was so calm in sleep—peaceful even. The opposite of how fierce and stubborn she was when awake. She had actually enjoyed the couple’s massage yesterday. It wasn’t nearly as naughty as she’d imagined it would be. She was pampered in exotic-smelling oils, treated to freshly pressed juice, water, a face mask, and a plate of fruit. The masseuses who worked on us side by side were skilled and professional. Valentina had been so tense at first, but after a little work, she fell asleep on the table—like a cat sunbathing. “Valentina… mi amore,” I whispered, brushing away a dark lock of hair spilling across the pillow. “Mmm… caro… just let me sleep a little longer, pretty please,” she purred without opening her eyes. I stroked her soft thighs, cupped her breasts, and gave them a gentle squeeze—just enough to get her heart rate going. “No, my love
