Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 260

Hotel suite.

Alicia’s chest felt tight with anger.

Even back when she was bullied by Mira and her friends, she’d never been this furious—or this hungry.

Those girls had always been openly cruel. But this—what Tyrone was going through—was different.

For Tyrone, it was his own family plotting against him. Even his grandfather was part of it—his own flesh and blood.

When Marcus had run off and left the family in shambles, Tyrone’s grandfather had no one else to rely on. But now, with another candidate in the picture, he’d started scheming against Tyrone, afraid Tyrone wouldn’t share the inheritance with that so-called brother.

It made Alicia’s blood boil on Tyrone’s behalf.

Her eyes stung with unshed tears. She tried her best to hold it in—she didn’t want to upset Tyrone further.

“You look so upset.” Tyrone seemed to notice her brooding. He shrugged off his jacket, tossed it on the couch, and pulled Alicia gently into his arms.

She landed softly on his lap—warm and delicate, her hair carrying a faint, sweet scent.

Even her breathing sounded like she was quietly seeking comfort.

Tyrone smiled to himself. This—this rare, gentle peace—was something he hadn’t felt in nearly thirty years.

“I’m upset for you…” Alicia finally couldn’t hold back. She buried her face against his chest and let the tears fall, drenching his shirt.

“How could your grandfather treat you like this? Even if he hates me, you’re still his grandson. The baby’s yours, too…” Her voice was muffled as she cried, her tears soaking through the fabric.

“It’s my fault.” Tyrone stroked her hair, his voice low and soothing. “No more tears, okay? What if I take you shopping? Want to grab some ice cream?”

Alicia shook her head. “I don’t want anything. I just want to cry.”

He chuckled softly. “Alright. Then cry as much as you need.”

He knew she shouldn’t have to bottle it up.

When Alicia finally cried herself out, draped limply over his shoulder, Tyrone smiled and fetched her a tissue, then scooped her up entirely.
