Raffaele’s POV

I sat in the helicopter as we began our descent. The rotors chopped through the thin mountain air, sending the horizon tilting as we veered toward the landing site.

“Where are we?” Valentina asked as she peered out the window.

“Golmud,” I replied. “We’re on the Qinghai-Xizang Plateau, close to the northern slopes of the Kunlun range.”

Her gaze flicked towards me.

“It’s a major transportation hub,” I added. “Airport, railway, roads connecting to the deeper mountain zones. Deva Pran was kind enough to send me the coordinates.”

The sarcasm in my voice was intentional and Valentina just smiled.

“The city’s often used as a base for scientific expeditions, geological surveys, and mining operations near the Kunlun and Qaidam Basin,” I continued. “So I’ll give the monk this, his cover story actually works.”

“You’re enjoying this more than you admit,” I said to her as she saw how uncomfortable it was for me to even mention that darn monks name.

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 90 - Dragon Peaks

    Raffaele’s POV She was giving me weird looks again after that kiss. And here I was, hoping she’d finally warm up. Maybe it was the wrong tactic. I felt like sighing, I should’ve known better. She never reacts the way I expect. Her mouth said nothing, but her eyes were searching mine, testing the waters, like she was trying to decide whether to trust me… or seduce me into giving her something she wanted again. I hated that I couldn’t always tell the difference. “Why are you looking at me like that?” I asked. “You look scared. Why?” She didn’t answer right away. So I softened my voice. Not out of weakness, but calculation. I needed to know what was going on in that beautiful head of hers… if I ever wanted a chance at truly having her. “I won’t let anything happen to you.” I said soothingly. That part was true. Even if I had to kill someone before breakfast to keep it that way. Her eyes flickered—and then, out of nowhere, she blurted, “I have to call Deva Pra

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 89 - The Careless Informant

    Valentina’s POV I was in a place I had never seen before. The wind tasted like crisp snow. I stood at the edge of a vast mountain range, where the sky bled gold into jagged stone and peaks disappeared into the clouds like a staircase to heaven. This was where heaven met the earth. I stood on a cloud bridge between the mortal and the divine. Below me, veins of milky green stone curled through the cliffs, pulsing like a dragon’s spine. I saw caravans tracing its dangerous path, and a yellow river that looked as if it poured straight from the heavens. Then I saw him—Deva Pran, dressed like a simple goatherd, singing. He stood waist-deep in the yellow glacial stream with his eyes closed. His voice hung in the air like a spell. “From the sky he came, flame in his breath, Rider of storms, breaker of death. King of Ling, child of stars, Born to bring justice where demons are. He rides with antlers, wrapped in light, Sword like thunder, eyes like night. All shal

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 88 - A Beautiful Annihilation

    Tullio Cavaliere’s POV I was looking at the big screen in my Ottoman-style Baghdadi villa—the one with arched windows and ornate balconies where the Tigris River flowed beneath. It always moved the same way. Steady, unhurried, and certain of its course. It mirrors me—smooth, deliberate, always flowing exactly the way I intend. “Basim,” I chuckled, content. “That signal path they followed. It was rerouted through a ghost server in Erbil. That was you, wasn’t it? Your signature work. Beautifully done.” Basim spun around in his swivel chair, grinning like a child showing off a science project. “Those fake coordinates did their job well.” “Since I’m an expert in cyber-sabotage,” Basim said smugly, spinning the mouse beneath his fingers, “I handle hacking, surveillance manipulation, and digital disruption. The trifecta.” I smiled. “Lethal trifecta, Basim. Your precision always hits the mark.” I clapped my hands in delight. Then I laughed—loud and satisfied. “It exploi

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 87 - Desert Rescue

    Valentina’s POV We had landed in a remote area, then switched to a helicopter to reach the abandoned farmhouse just outside Salman Pak, near the river bend. Was this really where Maria was kept? My heart pounded in ways that didn’t feel natural—like it was trying to outrun itself. “Tell the pilot not to land directly at the farmhouse,” Raffaele said with calculated precision, turning to Kareem. “He needs to drop us off behind a dune, half a kilometer out. We can’t risk the noise giving us away.” Kareem gave a sharp nod. “And make sure the helicopter lifts off right after and circles wide, keep it in the air. Let Tullio think it’s a target he needs to hit. Use it as decoy to buy us time” Raffaele snapped on his tactical vest and clipped the comm unit into place, his expression unreadable beneath the tightening straps. “Let’s go. We parachute in.” I blinked. “Parachute?” I stuttered. ”Nobody said nothing about parachutes!?” As Raffaele opened the rear doors and the cool deser

  • The Tycoon’s Temptress - Red Flower’s Chase   Chapter 86 - Return to Danger

    Valentina’s POV Kareem was eyeing me from the side as I sat stiff across from him on Raffaele’s private jet. Then he turned toward Raffaele, clearly amused. “I heard your protective instincts are clashing with Valentina’s reckless determination,” he said with a grin. “It’s not funny, Kareem!” I pouted. “Well, it kind of is,” he chuckled. “You’re trying to get us all killed within five minutes. You’re brave like Lorenzo, I’ll give you that—but this…” Nabil cut in smoothly, “This requires finesse. We’ll help you, Mrs. Ricchezza. Don’t you worry.” They all burst out laughing. “Don’t make fun of me!” I said crossing my legs and shifting in my seat. “I know, I know!” Kareem raised his hands in mock surrender. “You just want to blow Tullio’s brains out with your sweetheart-grip pistol.” Kareem made a surprisingly cute simulation of me aiming the sweetheart-grip pistol, complete with sound effects. Nabil clutched his chest and slumped dramatically in his chair like he was bleeding
