Looking at the elderly man with his white hair, Kaia still found it hard to call him anything but “Mr.” out of
respect.
Lucien noticed the hesitation on her face and spoke up with a soft voice, “Hey now, Dad. You haven't even given
her a proper wedding gift yet.”
Allen shot him a sharp glare but still pulled out a document with sincerity. “This is 5% of Graves Group shares.
Kaia, if you don’t mind, I'd like you to accept it as a wedding gift.”
When it cto the Graves Group's shares, Lucien owned a solid two-thirds, leaving the last third in the hands
of Allen and
Zane.
“Of course she’ll accept,” Tobias interjected quickly. Who wouldn't? Even a mere 5% stake in Graves Group was
worth more than twice what Domley Tech was worth.
Kaia shot her father a cold look before turning to Allen. “Five percent is too much. | can’t accept that.”
While she had no issue claiming shares from her father’s company, this was different. Taking such a significant
stake in Lucien’s business felt wrong, especially now that they were together.
Lucien said calmly, “It’s a gift from Dad. Just take it. You don’t

have to save him any money.”
Allen bristled. The audacity of his son.
Kaia smiled politely, deciding she’d return it to Lucien later. “Thank you.”

With Lucien putting it like that, Kaia made up her mind to accept the gift now and hand it over to him later
anyway. She gave a warm smile. “Thank you.”

And the shares, at least, didn’t feel like they had gone to waste.
Lucien added, “No need to be so formal, honey. Half of the shares under my nare yours anyway.”
As soon as he said that, Allen nearly choked. He opened his mouth to speak and then hesitated. “Lucien, you...”
Lucien looked unfazed, asking, “What's the problem, Dad? Isn't it normal to split all my assets fifty-fifty with my
wife?
“Don’t worry. We're not getting divorced, and if we ever do, it will be because | screwed up. If that day comes, I'll
accept whatever punishment | deserve. I'll pay the price for my own mistakes.”
Allen listened with mixed feelings. He marveled at the contrast:

his son, notorious for his icy demeanor toward women, transformed into someone entirely different around his
wife.
He forced a half-smile. “Alright, that’s good.”
Since the company was already in Lucien’s hands, he figured he might as well let him run wild with it. He
couldn’t be bothered to interfere anymore.
Kaia looked stunned. She tugged gently at the hem of Lucien’s jacket, about to say something.
But just then, Lucien’s hand, which had been resting on the edge of the table, suddenly closed around her
fingers. With a light tug, he pulled her entire hand into his palm, his lips curling into a satisfied grin.
It was as if what he held onto wasn’t just Kaia’s hand. It felt like he was holding his whole world.
As Lucien slowly brushed his thumb across the curve between her thumb and forefinger, he asked, “Mr. Tobias
Domont, are you satisfied with this arrangement?”
Hearing that formal address, Tobias knew it was his cue to make a move. But now, the card in his pocket loaded
with five million dollars suddenly didn’t seem so impressive anymore.
“Lucien,” he said with a measured smile, “I've arranged to transfer another 10% of my shares to Kaia. Added to
her current

25%, she’ll hold 35%. Granted, Domley Tech can’t compare to your holdings, but consider this my gesture of
goodwill.”
Just like that, Kaia’s shares went from 25% to 35%, making her the largest shareholder in Domley Tech. She
hadn’t expected Tobias to be this generous. She had been planning to work it out slowly over time. This was
almost too easy.
Right at that moment, she felt cool fingertips secretly brush against her palm. Catching on, she glanced at
Lucien and saw him give her a sly wink.
Kaia realized instantly that he had done it on purpose, and that he already knew what she had been planning. If
the timing were better, she would've grilled him right then and there about how he had figured it out.
During dinner, the conversation flowed smoothly as they
discussed wedding plans. They agreed to hold the ceremony at month’s end-a decision that left them with a
tight schedule for all the preparations ahead.
Lucien had a bit to drink, so Chris cto pick them up.
