Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 243

“This has nothing to do with you. Why are you making trouble for Tyrone?” Alicia demanded, angry and unyielding.

“Alicia... now that you and Tyrone lost the baby, there’s nothing tying you together anymore. The Lynch family is a mess—dangerous, complicated. Marcus is just the smallest of their headaches. Listen to me: divorce him and come back to me. Please?” Vincent’s voice was gentle, almost coaxing, as if he could still sway her with a few soft words.

He seemed to think nothing had changed, that if he just sweet-talked her a little, Alicia would come running back like before.

“Give it up, Vincent! Don’t you dare cause trouble for Tyrone again, or else…” Alicia threatened, but even to her, her words sounded weak.

“Alicia, Tyrone doesn’t really care for you,” Vincent said, his voice growing urgent.

Alicia had no patience left for this. She hung up without another word.

Vincent called again. She ignored it.

Why won’t he let this go? Is four years not enough for him? Or is it just that his favorite toy suddenly ended up in someone else’s hands…

Alicia sat on the couch, staring down at her stomach for a long time.

She had thought she’d be able to bring this baby into the world, safe and sound.

But disaster struck out of nowhere.

Sure, Melanie only did it because Serena pressured her—Alicia knew she never meant to hurt the baby. But even so, Tyrone hadn’t so much as lifted a finger to hold Serena accountable. That stung more than she cared to admit.

Tyrone said his feelings for Serena were just gratitude. Was it really just that?

That child was his too.

Not long after Tyrone left, he texted Alicia saying he had to go on a business trip for a week—work, as always.

Alicia lay on the couch, feeling empty, and cried for a long time.
