Mauryana Hanni Soleyn Fontalina has everything someone could dream of: beauty, intelligence, fame, and wealth. Yet behind her glamorous life lies a hollow ache: a melancholy that shadows her every achievement. Living under the weight of people's expectations, she is constantly strained by the public eye, her thoughts tangled like the strings of her hectic life. No matter how high she rises, she feels empty, unseen, misunderstood... until she meets Xavien Jaeyun Rueven Valentino. Jaeru is different. He doesn't approach Hanni like everyone else; instead, he observes. He sees beyond the radiance of a girl who seems to have it all-into the vulnerable heart Hanni hides from the world. Their connection is instant. For Jaeru, it sparks curiosity. For Hanni, it ignites rage. Two academic overachievers, drawn together yet set against each other. But someone has a different plan. Is this truly just a clash of minds, or is it the most sentimental gambit ever played?

Valeria didn't rush. She never did. Inez was pinned beneath her, wrist locked overhead, the hold precise and impersonal. Not pain. Control. Inez scoffed anyway. "That's it?" she sneered. "I've had tutors scarier than you." Valeria said nothing. The silence pressed in. "You don't scare me," Inez added, louder. Brattier. "You just-" "Enough." One word. Flat. Final. Valeria lifted Inez's chin with two fingers, detached as a correction. "Look at me," she said coolly. "If you're going to embarrass yourself, do it properly." Inez laughed, brittle. "You think this makes you powerful?" "I don't think," Valeria replied. "I decide." Her gaze never wavered. "You provoke because it's the last control you have." "I don't belong to you," Inez snapped. Valeria leaned in, voice razor-thin. "You are my wife. You belong to consequences." She released her grip. "Say it." "No." Valeria waited. The quiet broke Inez, she hated being ignored. "...I'll behave, I'll be a good girl" Inez muttered. "Specify." Inez swallowed hard. "...I'll be your good girl" Valeria stepped back, already distant. "Good," she said. "Remember why." #1 older women-13th February (FAST PACE BOOK)
