Tyroneâs attack had been ruthlessâa devastating blow to Jade and Brandonâs company.
Neither Jade nor Brandon particularly cared about that company; what they truly wanted was the White familyâs estate and control of White Corporation. But with Tyrone, that madman, blocking their path, both of them worried things could go awry.
âAlright,â Vincent said, lounging back on the couch as he swirled his wine and gazed at Jade. âTell me where he is.â
âHeâs in Seaview City, right on the border with Mountaincrest,â Jade replied. She scribbled an address on the back of a photograph and slid it across the table to Vincent. âA small fishing village.â
Vincent paused, surprised. That was the same area where Aliciaâs orphanage was located.
It really was secluded, nearly impossible to stumble upon without knowing exactly where to look.
âBefore Tyrone returns to the country,â Jade reminded him, âyou have a chance to convince your half-brother to take your side.â
Vincent studied the photo, a sly smile curling at his lips.
Tyrone had always believed he was the only sonâthe sole heir to the Lynch family fortune. But if a brother suddenly appeared out of nowhere to compete for the inheritance, would Tyrone still have that same effortless bravado, mocking everyone else as if the world belonged to him?
When that day came, Tyrone might just find himself knocked off his pedestal.
...
The Maldives.
Tyrone had spent the entire day whisking Alicia from one adventure to the next. By evening, heâd gone to pick up Lillian, Yvonne, and a few other friends from their social circle.
âThat was amazing!â Alicia beamed as she snuggled up to Tyroneâs arm on the open-air tram.
After a day of reckless fun, Tyrone had managed to chip away at Aliciaâs guardedness. At least now, she didnât treat him like just another boss to keep at armâs length.
Seeing her willingly lean into him, Tyrone couldnât help but smile.
Clearly, she needed to get out and have fun more often.
Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent)
âMr. Lynch, you went to all this trouble to invite us outâdonât tell me weâre just here to watch you and your lovely wife on your honeymoon?â Lillian teased, glancing at the others with a playful grin.
Tyrone squeezed Aliciaâs hand and smiled. âIsnât that what friends are for?â
The meaning was unmistakable: Tyrone was counting Lillian and her friends among his closest confidants.
He had given them the kind of respect he rarely extended to anyone, and their faces lit up with genuine delight.
Everyone knew Tyroneâs reputationâbrilliant, yes, but with a temperament that left much to be desired. Most people whoâd crossed him called him a lunatic: sharp-tongued, arrogant, and never afraid to burn bridges, convinced he was untouchable as the sole Lynch heir.
But tonight, seeing him go out of his way to honor everyone for Aliciaâs sake, it was clear just how much she meant to him.
Alicia might not have realized it yet, but she knew Tyrone had arranged all this for her.
âWe heard Mrs. Lynch got accepted to study in Italyâwhat a future ahead of her!â one of them remarked.
âYes! We looked up your design work on the way over, and itâs truly stunning,â another chimed in, their praise heartfelt.
If Tyrone had just tried to force his wife into the spotlight, most talented people would have rolled their eyes. But after seeing Aliciaâs portfolio, they knew she had genuine talent.
âWeâve already spoken to Devinâhe canât wait to meet you, Mrs. Lynch.â
Alicia was a little overwhelmed; her idol, her most admired mentor, already knew who she was?
âMy wifeâs still young. Sheâll need all of your guidance in the years to come,â Tyrone said graciously, wearing a rare, easy smile.
Others might not realize just how much that meant, but Yvonne did.
Sheâd been watching Tyrone closely. Seeing how much he truly cared for Alicia, she felt genuinely happy for them.
Cold and aloof when he wanted to be, venomous when crossedâTyrone wasnât exactly known for his social graces. But tonight, for Alicia, heâd proved he could rise to any occasion.
