Rich Radiant and Over Him (Alicia and Vincent) novel Chapter 459

He’d never felt this kind of exhaustion before—not during those days, not ever.

Physical fatigue and the weariness that gnawed at his heart were two very different beasts.

Even though he’d mapped out every step, even though every move was calculated, there were moments—when Lynch Corporation was spiraling into chaos, when the senior staff whispered behind his back, calling him a fool, an ingrate—when the heaviness inside him felt unbearable.

He was miserable, but he had no idea who he could confide in.

“When I was a kid, my grandfather once told me a story,” Winnie said softly. “He said the reason eagles rule the skies isn’t just because they’re born strong—it’s because they survive the fall. Young eagles don’t hatch with powerful wings. Their parents push them from the nest, straight off the cliff. Their wings break, heal, and only then do they grow strong enough to chase their ambitions.”

Winnie watched Easton in silence.

“Our little one’s being good tonight,” Tyrone murmured, carefully rubbing the cream over her belly. His voice softened instinctively, as if he were afraid of startling the baby inside.
