“That’s a hit!”

The caddie’s shout carries across the wide green, his small frame sprinting down the slope to retrieve the ball. The boy is flushed with excitement, his voice echoing faintly in the stillness of the afternoon.

Lance doesn’t acknowledge him. His posture remains poised, his shoulders squared, the steel of the club catching the golden sunlight as he lowers it slowly to his side. A faint breeze ruffles his hair, dark at the edges when the sun touches it, though his expression remains carved in stone.

The golf course is immaculate, a sweep of green velvet that seems endless. Manicured lawns ripple with the faint whisper of the wind. Beyond the course, tall pines border the horizon, their shadows stretching long and dark. Somewhere far off, a fountain gurgles, the sound swallowed by distance.

It is a private club—exclusive, quiet, where only the wealthy and powerful gather. Even here, among men who control cities and women draped in designer silks, Lance Vallerand stands apa

  • You Are Mine    Chapter 86

    It has been a week since Lance last saw Adrianna. Seven days. Seven nights.To a man like him, time usually bends and breaks under his will. But this week feels different—slow, heavy, almost unbearable. He doesn’t admit it out loud, not even to himself at first, but every hour is filled with her ghost.Her laugh echoes in his mind, soft but daring. The way her voice trembled when she whispered his name that night—his name, not anyone else’s—returns to him again and again.And the memory of her beneath him, her body arching as if it belonged to him all along… it both soothes and torments him.Damn her.He presses his fingers against his temple, trying to break the chain of memory, but her eyes return—ocean blue, searching him with a tenderness he doesn’t deserve. They haunt him, those eyes. They saw through him, straight into the part of himself he thought he buried forever.A sharp throat-clear cuts through the silence.Lance lifts his gaze. Robert stands nearby, tablet in hand, his u

  • You Are Mine    Chapter 85

    The room feels like a tomb.Victoria sits by the window, her body wrapped in a blanket that has stopped warming her long ago. The Houston mansion is a quiet monster, a beast that stalks her memory with every creak in the floorboards, every whisper behind the wallsVictoria moves through it like a ghost with a name. She no longer wears the careful elegance that used to be armor; now she favors loose sweaters and the same soft trousers, as if comfort could sew together whatever the world has torn from her. The nurses say she sleeps a lot, then wakes with that same blank expression — eyes that look out through the day rather than into it. It has been almost a month since she lost the baby; in that time the world has narrowed down to two rooms and one conversation: the slow, clinical rhythm of the hospital wing and the slow, predatory presence of Wade.He comes by rarely. Twice, in the early weeks, he has sat at the foot of her bed and read her the reports the doctors hand him, his voice

    The door of Wade’s car closed with a clean, final sound, but the echo of his words refused to fade. Bianca’s heels clicked against the marble pavement—sharp, precise, every step rehearsed into perfection. She knew how she looked to the world: untouchable, elegant, the fiancée of Lance Vallerand.But inside her chest, her heart was clawing against her ribs.Six years ago, you planned the murder of German Vallerand.Her breath caught at the memory. She steadied her chin higher, refusing to falter.“Bianca,” Ramon’s voice cut through the silence. He stood by her car, his broad frame steady, his expression unreadable as always. Only his eyes betrayed the flicker of concern he dared to show. “You don’t look well. Should I call for—”Bianca lifted a hand. “No.” The word snapped out sharper than intended, a whipcrack in the cool evening air. Ramon’s jaw tightened, but he bowed his head in deference.She softened her voice immediately, sliding back into control. “I’m fine, Ramon. It’s nothing

    The silence between them hums like a live wire. Bianca exhales sharply, shaking her head. “Enough of this nonsense. I don’t need to listen to your sick fantasies.”Her fingers brush the door handle again, but Wade’s next words stop her cold:“You really should, Bianca. Unless you want me to tell Lance what you did to his brother.”Her whole body stiffens. For the first time in years, Bianca feels the blood drain from her face. Slowly, she turns back to him, her hands trembling in her lap. “What… Did you just say?”Wade’s smile is razor thin, cruel satisfaction etched into every line of his face. “Six years ago. German Vallerand. The golden son. The family’s pride. Your little secret, Bianca.”Her throat goes dry. The memory slams into her like a physical blow—German’s laugh, the night that went horribly wrong, the way she’d buried it so deep she convinced even herself it wasn’t real. And played the perfect role of a mourner. “You don’t know what you’re talking about,” she whispers, t

    Bianca steps back sharply, her eyes flashing with fury. “This little game of yours ends now. Consider this the last time we speak.”She turns, her heels echoing against the marble as she makes for the exit. But before she can take more than three steps, Wade’s voice follows her, smooth but heavy with meaning:“Then let’s stop wasting time and cut to the real reason I came.”Bianca pauses. Against her better judgment, she turns.“What do you mean?”He gestures casually toward the glass doors, where Ramon is still loading the bags into the car. “Why don’t we finish this conversation somewhere more private? Unless, of course, you’d rather risk the staff overhearing something… unfortunate.”Her heart kicks harder against her ribs. Something in his tone tells her this isn’t about money, or Lance, or idle provocation. It’s something deeper. Something dangerous.For a long moment, she studies him. His calm arrogance, his steady gaze, his refusal to blink first.Finally, with a clipped nod, s

    The boutique gleams like a palace. Chandeliers hang from the ceiling, their light spilling onto polished marble floors that reflect the shimmer of diamonds and the soft sheen of Italian leather. The air is cool, perfumed with subtle notes of vanilla and oud, the kind of fragrance that whispers money and exclusivity.Bianca moves through the showroom like she owns it, and in a way, she does. Her heels click against the marble—measured, regal. Three sales attendants trail behind her, their postures straight, their smiles wide but cautious, as though they’re in the presence of royalty.“Madam, this is the latest Hermès Birkin, limited edition,” one of the attendants says, lifting a cream-colored bag reverently, as if afraid it might dissolve under too much touch. “Hand-stitched, imported from France, only five pieces released globally this season. The price is one hundred and eighty thousand dollars.”Bianca doesn’t even glance at the price tag. She tilts her head, her manicured fingers
