Valerie's POV

The message refused to leave my mind.

"You found the secret they wanted buried. But you still don't know who buried it."

I must have read those words a hundred times, yet they never felt any less unsettling. Every time I looked at them, I realized how little I actually knew. I had spent so much time chasing Elias Vane's story that I believed I was finally standing at the end of the mystery. Instead, I found myself staring at the beginning of another one.

For months, Silas and I ha

  • The Billionaires 10th Bride   Chapter 159

    Valerie’s POVFor a long time, I believed my story was about surviving.Every chapter of my life seemed to be a battle against something. The secrets surrounding the Vane family. The fear I carried when I first entered their world. The pain of losing the person I used to be. The responsibility of protecting everything we built.I spent years fighting to reach a place where I could finally breathe.But when I finally arrived there, I realised something I never expected.Peace could feel unfamiliar.For so long, I was used to searching for the next problem, the next danger, the next thing I needed to fix. I had built a habit of carrying everything on my shoulders because I believed that if I stopped paying attention, everything would fall apart.But life had changed.The leadership centre had grown.The people we trained had grown.And slowly, I had to accept that not everything needed my hands anymore.That lesson became clearer when I received news about one of the largest community p

  • The Billionaires 10th Bride   Chapter 158

    Valerie’s POVAfter everything we built, I thought I understood what legacy meant.I believed it was about creating something that would survive after us. But as time passed, I began to realise that legacy was not only about what remained. It was also about who received the chance to carry it forward.The Vane Leadership Centre continued to grow, but what made me happiest was not the size of the programme or the attention it received. It was seeing former trainees return to their communities and create meaningful changes of their own.Then, one morning, we received unexpected news.The leadership centre was being considered for an international honour because of its impact on communities. The recognition was not connected to the Vane family name or Silas’s influence. It was because of the young leaders who had taken the lessons they learned and transformed them into real action.Everyone was excited.Everyone except me.I knew how easily recognition could change the direction of somet

  • The Billionaires 10th Bride   Chapter 157

    Valerie’s POVMonths had passed since the latest group of leaders graduated from the Vane Leadership Centre, and I began noticing something that made me realise our work had reached a new stage.The people we once guided were no longer waiting for instructions.They were creating their own paths.One day, I received an unexpected message from former trainees. They invited Silas and me to attend a gathering where they wanted to share the progress of their community projects.At first, I assumed the event was connected to the leadership centre. But when I learned they had organised everything themselves, I felt a quiet sense of pride.They did not need us to create the opportunity.They had created it themselves.That was the moment I understood the difference between teaching people and truly empowering them. We had not built a system where everyone looked toward us for answers. We had built something where people could take what they learned and create something meaningful on their ow

  • The Billionaires 10th Bride   Chapter 156

    Valerie’s POVMonths had passed since the leadership centre expanded, and I began noticing a change that was impossible to ignore.The place no longer felt like something Silas and I had created alone.It had grown into something much bigger than the Vane family name.Every morning, I walked through the centre and saw young leaders discussing ideas, sharing experiences, and creating solutions for problems that once seemed impossible to solve. They were no longer waiting for someone to tell them what to do. They were taking responsibility for their own communities.That was the moment I understood our greatest achievement was never the building itself.It was the people inside it.Reports arrived every week from former trainees who had returned to their communities and started their own programmes. Some created educational opportunities. Others helped families gain access to resources they had never received before. Many inspired people around them to become involved and take action.E

  • The Billionaires 10th Bride   Chapter 155

    Valerie’s POVMonths had passed since the Vane Leadership Centre opened its doors, and every day I watched something happen that I once thought was impossible.People were no longer coming to us because they needed someone to save them.They were coming because they had discovered their own strength.When I first entered the Vane world, I believed survival meant carrying every burden alone. I believed being strong meant never depending on anyone and never showing uncertainty. But standing in the leadership centre now, watching young leaders discuss ideas, solve problems, and support each other, I understood that strength had a different meaning.Strength was not carrying everything by yourself.Strength was knowing how to build something that could continue without you.The centre had grown faster than we expected. More communities reached out, asking how they could create similar programmes. They wanted to learn how we trained leaders, how we encouraged people to take responsibility,

  • The Billionaires 10th Bride   Chapter 154

    Valerie’s POVI used to believe leadership meant having every answer.For years, I survived by taking control of every situation placed in front of me. When there was danger, I reacted. When there were problems, I searched for solutions. When people needed protection, I carried the responsibility myself.But standing inside the Vane Leadership Centre for its first training programme, I realised how much my understanding of leadership had changed.The room was filled with young people from different communities, each carrying their own experiences, struggles, and dreams. They came here because they wanted to create change, but I did not want them to leave as people who simply followed instructions.I wanted them to leave as leaders.The centre was never meant to create people who depended on someone else to make decisions for them. It was created to help people think for themselves, listen to others, and create solutions that could last.As the first session began, I asked them a simpl

    Valerie’s POVThe name on the card felt heavy in my hand, like a secret too dangerous to say out loud.I remembered Roody Sergio saying that name once, months ago. He had been on the phone in his office, his face drained of color, his voice shaking. I had heard him say, “I can’t give the Vanes what

    Valerie's POV The sight inside the bedroom struck me like a physical blow. My breath left my lungs, and something deep in my chest shattered beyond repair.There was Mike.
