Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 69

Just as Alicia was about to put down her phone and turn in for the night, a headline blazed across her screen.

Heir of the Harboridge elite, Tyrone, announces his marriage.

The story rocketed to the top of the trending list in under ten minutes.

Nervous, Alicia tapped on it. The very first post was from Tyrone's own account: a photo of a marriage certificate, captioned, "A promise kept. I've given you a home."

Alicia didn't fully grasp what he meant, but posting their marriage certificate so publicly was clearly a warning to Vincent.

She was surprised—Tyrone was more protective of her than she'd ever imagined.

Her heart thudded a little faster. She set her phone aside and curled up under the covers.

For some reason, seeing that post made her feel strangely at peace.

It was as if Tyrone could handle all the troubles ahead, no matter how daunting.

She drifted off, half-awake, not sure how much time had passed, when she sensed someone enter her room.

But she was too exhausted to open her eyes, so she let sleep take her.

By her bedside, Tyrone gently readjusted her blanket. He lingered for a while before quietly leaving.

…

The next morning, Alicia woke to find Tyrone already gone.

He'd always planned to head out for a business trip after their marriage registration in Seaview City, so now he was off, rushing to deal with work.

"I'll be back the day after tomorrow and take you to the orphanage," he messaged her, not forgetting his promise.

Alicia smiled and stretched.

Tyrone really was an incredible man—kind, dependable, thoughtful.

She found herself envying Melanie's mother, who once had Tyrone's love. But if that was true, why had she taken her own life?
