VALENTINA

I stood there for fifteen minutes, frozen like the ice in front of me. Around me, staff were cleaning up and fans were filing out, but I couldn't move. My mind was a mess. How was I supposed to fix this?

Harold’s lie was perfect. It was a poison that went straight for Horace’s weakest spot. Horace had warned me. He had told me to stay away from Harold, but I hadn't listened. I had gone to his home, I had let Harold kiss me, and now, sex? The thought made me feel sick.

    Valentine’s POVA few seconds later, his reply flashed on the screen.Matteo: Like I'd predicted, Tesoro. Believe me now?I stared at the words for a long moment, more tears slipping free and splashing onto the screen. He had warned me that they would play me like this.Me: Thank you.Then, after taking another shaky, deep breath to steady my racing heart, I typed out the only question that mattered now.Me: What’s the next plan?The typing bubble appeared at the bottom of the chat. It disappeared, then appeared again, making my chest tighten with every second of delay. Finally, his response came through.Matteo: Do you trust me?I read it three times before answering. Did I trust him? I didn't have a choice anymore. Everyone else had already turned their backs on me.Me: Yes.He sent a bunch of files right after that. Videos, documents, bank records, photos, signed statements. It was a literal mountain of digital evidence, a massive data dump that flooded my chat feed. I opened the v

  • The ice reaper and His blonde obsession    Chapter 110

    Valentina’s POVThe first thing I felt when I woke up was the cold seeping through the floorboards and straight into my bones.The second was a deep, aching pain that had absolutely nothing to do with my body and everything to do with the bleeding mess inside my chest. It felt heavy, suffocating, spreading through every single part of me until even breathing felt like too much work.I opened my eyes slowly, my vision blurry, and realized I was still curled up on the hard living room floor of Horace’s villa, right where I’d cried myself to sleep the night before. The heavy blanket I’d dragged down from upstairs was tangled and twisted around my legs like a trap, and one of the throw pillows had ended up halfway across the room, looking like it had tried to escape the total disaster that was me.The villa was completely silent. Just like yesterday. Just like the day before that. Just like the hollow feeling in my chest that wouldn’t go away no matter how hard I tried to ignore it.I st

  • The ice reaper and His blonde obsession    Chapter 109

    HORACEElisha had practically dragged me out to the most exclusive club, just like every other night since she had showed up. Parties, endless alcohol, loud suffocating crowds, flashing strobe lights, anything to distract me. Anything to stop me from thinking about the bloody mess my life had become.Meanwhile, I sat alone in the center of the VIP lounge like a king in an empty castle, nursing another glass of dark liquor that burned all the way down my throat. Good. I welcomed the fire. Maybe if I drank enough of it, it would finally burn away the rest of it too. The anger, the pull of the bond, the memories, the guilt, the longing, and the fragile, stupid hope that kept trying to claw its way back to the surface no matter how hard I tried to kill it.Girls approached my table all night. Beautiful ones. High-profile models, actresses, influencers, even the elite daughters from strong, powerful pack families. It didn’t matter. I felt absolutely nothing. Not a spark of attraction, n

  • The ice reaper and His blonde obsession    Chapter 108

    HORACEThe second those words left Valentina’s mouth, it felt like someone had reached straight into my chest and twisted my very vital heartstring until it nearly snapped in half.“Goodbye, Horace.”The room stayed completely silent after she turned and walked out. Nobody moved. Nobody spoke. Even the air felt thick and toxic, like the whole house was holding its breath along with me. I kept staring at the empty doorway long after she disappeared through it, because some stupid, desperate part of me still expected her to storm back in, keep arguing, keep yelling, keep fighting to prove me wrong like she always did.But she didn’t.The bond felt distant now. Not gone exactly, but stretched thin and cold, like standing on one side of a frozen lake and barely hearing someone call your name from the far shore. My fingers curled into tight fists at my sides, the pressure turning my knuckles white as I fought the urge to run after her.Elisha’s voice finally broke the heavy quiet. “You’re

    HORACE“I didn’t know!” Valentina’s voice exploded louder than I’d ever heard it, the raw, agonized force of it making the living room feel like it shook. Tears spilled over her cheeks, hot and fast. “I had never even seen her before!!”My wolf growled softly, a protective rumble that wasn't aimed at her, but at me for causing that sound. And I hated it. I hated all of this. I hated the division, the lies, and the agony tearing through the bond between us.Elisha shook her head, looking over at me to gain favor. “This is ridiculous. Utterly ridiculous.”“Enough,” I said, my voice coming out colder and sharper than I always meant it to be.Elisha blinked, completely surprised. I rarely spoke to her with that kind of biting edge, but I couldn’t take her constant interruptions anymore.“Horace…” she started, her face twisting into a mask of soft hurt.“Please, enough, Elisha! How many times do I have to shut you up?” My tone left absolutely no room for argument, slicing through the air l

    HORACEI should’ve felt relieved. That was the most fucked up part of the whole situation.Marco kept laying file after file across the coffee table in the living room, his voice serious and matter-of-fact as he walked us through every single detail. Everything coming out of his mouth seemed to point away from Valentina being some cold-blooded killer who had helped take Deja from me.The financial trails all led straight back to the companies connected to Agatha. The timestamps on the video didn’t line up with the actual timeline of events. There was testimony from the hacker Zuria had tracked down, clear evidence that Agatha had funded a private surveillance and deepfake operation, and warehouse records that painted a much darker picture of what really happened that night.I sat on the couch with my elbows resting on my knees, a half-empty whiskey glass hanging loosely from my fingers, and I wanted so badly to believe every word of it.My heart was already leaning hard in that dire

    VALENTINA"Okay, we’d start with a light warm-up first, and then we can move on to the real work."I pointed toward the open floor, my voice steady despite the way Lita was still purring in the back of my mind about the view. Horace didn't move immediately. He just stood there, his eyes tracking th

    HAROLDI watched her move, the confusion thick enough to choke on. The weak Val I had met just days ago, the woman who seemed fragile, almost breakable, had vanished. In her place stood someone who felt like she held every string to my soul. I didn't even have to take her back to her place, she had

    HORACE It all felt wrong. Being with Elisha had never felt like a mistake until today, but now the air between us was thick with a tension I couldn't ignore. This mate bond was a haunting I hadn't invited, messing with my head just when I needed focus the most. I told myself I didn’t want any dist

    HAROLDI was still reeling from Jax standing there, but the relief hit me like a wave when he didn't call me out. I was thankful the shadows were deep enough that he couldn't see the flush on my neck."I just wanted to know if you were leaving," Jax said. His voice was quiet, lacking the heat from
