engine. “By the way, what happened with the elevator during the outage?”
“It wasn’t a big deal,” Kaia said, turning to look out the window. “Mr. Rhodes was in there too. He called
Engineering. They fixed it quickly.”
Julian again? This guy is everywhere!
Jude’s expression tightened.
Why was that guy always hovering around her? Didn't Jude just give him a warning?
“And it was just the two of you?” he asked, trying to sound casual.
Kaia paused and then answered with a straight face, “Yep. Just
us.”
She didn’t mention Lucien. The last thing she needed was Jude jumping to more conclusions.
And just like that, their misunderstanding deepened.
They drove in silence for a while. As the car pulled into the underground garage, Jude finally broke, “Kaia, why
don’t you just meet that prosecutor | mentioned?”
Kaia sighed. “Jude... no, thank you.”
Jude’s stomach sank.

Kaia sprinted into the garage, breathing hard. Her heart was still pounding.
What was wrong with Lucien?
One moment he was cold and distant, the next he was pulling her into his arms like nothing had happened.
She could still feel the lingering chill of his presence on her skin -cold and warm, overwhelming and addictive.
“Kaia! | heard there was a power outage. Were you in the elevator?”

Jude’s voice cout of nowhere behind her, making her jump.
She turned around with a start. “God, Jude. Do you have to creep up on people like that? You scared me.”
He raised a brow. “Did I? You looked completely zoned out. What were you thinking about?”
“Nothing.” Kaia quickly opened the passenger door and slid into
the seat.
Jude climbed in behind the wheel, still watching her from the corner of his eye, Something about her seemed...
off.
“Are you warm? You look like you're overheating.”
“No,” she replied, rolling down the window. “It’s just the weather. Feels like it’s going to rain.”

Lucien shot him a look that could freeze lava. “What do you think?”
He watched Kaia's retreating figure disappear around the corner. Something in his expression shifted.
Just like last time... When the lights go out, the real her comes through.
He could still feel the warmth of her body, the scent of her skin clinging to his shirt. Almost involuntarily, he lifted
his hand to his nose.
And of course, Julian had front-row seats to all of it.
The two men locked eyes in stunned silence.
Julian shivered. “Mr. Graves, I-I'll head up to the fifth floor. Take your time.”
He didn’t wait for a response and made a beeline for the stairs.
Julian shivered. That entire scene had been downright terrifying.
He had a very real sense that, someday, he might actually die because of something like this.
If anyone could save him when that day came, it would be Kaia, and he made a mental note to stay firmly on her
good side.
Lucien, the cold and calculating CEO, now acting like the most hopelessly smitten husband in the world.

Sure, Julian probably knew about her and Lucien, but this was still the Graves Group elevator. If anyone else saw
them, it'd be a PR nightmare.
Meanwhile, Julian was silently screaming. He had just
witnessed Lucien being shoved to the ground by his own wife, inside an elevator no less.
For a moment, he seriously wondered if he was going to be assassinated just for seeing all this.
Lucien pressed his lips together, his face darkening slightly as he pushed himself up off the floor.
He leaned against the elevator wall,

He let out a low, sarcastic chuckle.
Unbelievable. This woman.
The elevator dinged.
As soon as the doors opened, Kaia practically bolted. “I-I'm sorry!”
And she was gone.
Leaving the other two behind, staring at the empty space where she'd been.

floor-" Julian stopped midsentence.
In the corner of the elevator, Lucien and Kaia were curled up, arms wrapped tightly around each other.
Okay. Should I just vanish into thin air now?
That was one hell of a jump scare. Public affection-uncensored, intense, and right in front of his face.
Kaia had kept her eyes tightly shut until she caught a glimmer of light. Slowly, she opened them.
What she saw was Lucien’s face

Her mind finally snapped back into focus. She realized exactly where she was and who she was practically lying
on.
She shoved him away in a panic. “Sorry! | couldn't see,”
Lucien, caught off guard, stumbled backward and landed flat on the floor.
Kaia froze. Julian froze.
