The Billionaire Who Stole My Heart

Ulysses glanced casually at Wallace, his gaze light and dismissive. To him, Wallace was nothing but a defeated foe, hardly worth his concern. Wallace, feeling as though he had been slapped across the face, flushed with embarrassment and anger.

The two of them had been arch-rivals for years, each well aware of the other's capabilities.

As they sat down, the game began.

Brittany had been watching the match keenly. It was clear that Wallace was infuriated, his aggressive moves betraying his inner turmoil. Ulysses, on the other hand, was the picture of ease, responding coolly to each of Wallace's moves.

In just a few moves, Ulysses had already driven Wallace into a corner.

Murmurs of surprise and intrigue rippled through the audience.
