As she settled into the backseat, the morning sunlight bathed ber fiir skin, adding a touch of gentle allure.
The driver caught a glimpse of her beaming face in the rear-view
mirror.
“Straight off the plane to City Hall? That eager to get married?” he joked.
“Yeah, it’s Valentine's Day. Had to book the slot half a month ago.” Kaia laughed.
He chuckled, “Romantic. My daughter couldn’t even get today, so she’s doing it tomorrow.”
“Congrats to her,” Kaia said warmly,
“Sto you!”

But even after she got there, Alden still hadn't texted back.
With a slight pout, she dialed his number.
It rang. And rang. And rang.
Just as she was about to hang up, he picked up.
“Hello? What's up?” he said, sounding totally flat.
Kaia’s grip on the phone tightened.

“Where are you, Alden? I'm at City Hall. They're calling couples in, we're...”
“I'm not coming, Kaia.” Alden cut her off.
She froze, disbelief written all over her face.
“What? We planned this-Valentine’s Day...”
“Yeah, | know. But something cup. Let's do it another day. The date doesn’t matter.”
Doesn't matter? | fought hard to get this slot half a month ago!
Just then, a female voice cthrough the phone.
“Alden, you still on the phone? They're waiting for us

It was Luna Thorne, the adopted girl of the Graves family for eighteen years.
Wait, she’s back in town?
Before Kaia could even react, the call cut off.
She just stood there, a bitter smile pulling at her lips.
He said he was tired. Went to bed early.
Turns out he was with her. The whole night.
Not long after, a text message popped up on her phone.
[Kaia, was that you on the phone? | just flew in yesterday, and Alden threwa little welcome-back party. He
got wasted and crashed here. Nothing sketchy, | swear! Wanna grab breakfast with us?] - Luna
Kaia stared at the screen, her stomach twisting.
Without hesitation, she typed back.

Outside the private room at Redblossom Restaurant, Kaia froze.
She could hear them. All of them.
Familiar voices floated through the door.
“Aren’t you supposed to be marrying Kaia now, Mr. Graves?”
“Yeah, didn’t she book that slot way ahead? Just for today? Wow. Desperate much?”
“What's so special about today?”
“Valentine's, dumbass.”
“Con, Mr. Graves doesn’t love her. Everyone knows he’s only got eyes for Luna,” someone scoffed.
Then Luna’s voice chimed in, all sweet and fake.
“Stop it, guys,” she said with a shy smile. “Alden’s like... my brother.”
Kaia’s face turned ghostly pale. She desperately wanted to hear what Alden would say.
Through the small crack in the door, she saw him.

Alden, looking relaxed as ever, was slouched in his seat, arm resting possessively behind Luna’s chair.

From where Kaia stood, it looked as if he was lovingly holding the woman he adored.
Then, Alden’s husky voice slowly rang out.
“Do you really just seeas a brother, Luna?”
“Are you... really not going to marry Kaia today?” Luna asked hesitantly.
“No. Not marrying her. She’s not part of my day,” Alden replied, calm and cold.
A few people around the table cooed in mock sympathy.
Luna shifted slightly in her seat, her shoulders trembling under the teasing.
Alden leaned in close, lips near her ear.
“Luna,” he murmured, “no one matters more than you.”
Cheers. Laughter. Someone even clapped.
But for Kaia, it felt like a sharp dagger piercing through her heart, leaving her in deep pain.

Always second place. No matter what I've done, I’m never his number one.
How ridiculous. How pathetic.
Just then, someone returning from the restroom stopped at the sight of her.
“Uh... Kaia, you're here? Why not cin?”
The door swung open. And how everyone saw her.
Saw the ghost of the woman Alden was supposed to marry.
An awkward silence hung in the air-until someone tried to lighten the mood.
“Hey, Kaia! Have you had breakfast? Cjoin us!”
Alden withdrew his hand from Luna’s chair, frowning slightly.
What are you doing here?” he asked impatiently.
Kaia took a deep breath and walked slowly towards them.
“Why? Am | not allowed?” she said, her voice calm, but tight.
Luna immediately stood up to offer her seat.

“Kaia, you're here! Cand sit here. | saved a spot for you!”
“Stay put.” Alden pressed Luna’s shoulder down.
That small gesture cut Kaia like a blade.
“Yeah, just stay put. I'm not here for breakfast,” she said, her
voice flat.
Alden’s tone turned sharp. “Kaia, what's going on? | told you— we'll get the license another day.”
“There won't be another day, Alden. No license,” she sneered.
“What did you say?”
‘| said...” She smiled, slow and sweet.

For a second, Alden froze, eyes wide with disbelief.
“How could you—"
“She means that much to you? Fine. Take today’s appointment. A wedding gift for you lovebirds.”
With that, Kaia threw the crumpled number slip onto the floor.

Luna, trying to hide her delight, pretended to be panicked.
“Ignore them, Kaia. Alden and | are just like siblings!”
The word made Kaia sick.
Siblings? Again?
What kind of brother will ditch his fiancée on license day to throw a welcome-back party for his sister?
“Yeah, sbrother,” Kaia scoffed. “More like a lover.”
Alden’s jaw clenched, veins popping in his forehead.
“Enough, Kaia! Apologize to Luna. Now!”
