“What? That can’t be right.” Kaia forced a chuckle. “She’s drunk, Lucien. Don’t take anything she said seriously.”

Lucien shot her a look. “But you know what they say—drunk words are sober thoughts.”

Kaia fell silent, unable to argue with that.

Thankfully, the painfully awkward ride soon cto an end. Once they arrived, Kaia helped Kayla into bed, then

fetched a warm towel to wipe her face. After a few sleepy grumbles, Kayla finally dozed off.

Kaia poured shot lemon water into a thermos and left it by the bedside, along with a handwritten note.

Still, even after getting back into the car, she felt unsettled.

“Lucien... can | stay over with her tonight? Just to make sure she’s okay?”

Lucien didn’t even miss a beat. “Absolutely not.”

Then, seeing her face fall, he softened his tone. “Don’t worry, Someone will be there to look after her soon.”

“Who?”

Lucien gave her a pointed look, lips twitching. “The big, bad guy himself.”

Kaia blinked. “You mean Calvin?”

Lucien didn’t answer, but the gleam in his eye said enough.

Ever the thoughtful devil, Lucien had already forwarded the aurecordings of Kayla’s drunken rant to Calvin.

By the tCalvin arrived at Kayla’s place and hit play, his expression turned stormy.

The next morning, Kaia called Kayla right on time, still worried about her.

Kayla answered groggily, her voice hoarse. “Kaia...”

“Are you okay? Did you drink the honey water | left on the bedside table?” Kaia asked gently.

Kayla groaned. “You broughthlast night, didn’t you? Ugh... sorry for the trouble, Kaia. | owe you a meal

Kaia sat up straighter. “Kayla?”

There was a short yelp from the other end.

“Um, I'm fine. Really! Just a headache. I'm going back to sleep. Talk later, okay?” Kayla said hurriedly.

“Wait, do you wantto ccheck on you-p”

“No, no! Definitely not necessary. Bye!”

Kaia stared at her phone, frowning, “She hung up so fast...”

“Who was that?” Lucien asked as he returned from the gym, a towel slung around his neck.

“Kayla. She didn’t sound right. | was thinking of going over

“No need.” Lucien cut in smoothly.

Kaia looked confused. “Why not?”

“Because Calvin is with her.”

Her eyes widened in surprise,

“Relax,” Lucien said, tossing the towel aside. “Calvin may be a jerk, but he won't lay a finger on her. Whatever

happens between them... it’s their mess. Don’t get dragged into it.”

He reached out and gently tousled her hair. “Mrs, Graves, you

Kain’s cheeks flushed. She hadn't even tried on the dress yet.

“We'll be there all day tomorrow?” she asked.

Lucien nodded. “All day. Excited?”

“A little,” she murmured, her cars turning pink.

Lucien leaned in closer, his tone mock-serious. “You don’t think I'm too old, do you?”

Clearly, he hadn't forgotten Kayla’s drunken jab.

Kaia shook her head. “No, you're not old. Just... a little more

mature.”

Lucien raised an eyebrow. “You really have a way with words, huh?”

After Kayla hung up the phone, she firmly pushed Calvin away.

“Calvin, | thought we were done.”

Calvin frowned, his voice low. “You decided that on your own. | never agreed to break up.”

Her expression turned icy. “You're about to enter a marriage of convenience. If we're not over, does that mean

you want to keeparound in the shadows?”

He scoffed. “There’s no marriage—at least not a real one. Just givea little tto deal with my father.”

Kayla quickly gathered her clothes from the floor and slipped them on, her movements sharp and decisive. “No,

Calvin. | meant what | said. When | end something, | don’t look back.”

She walked over to her bag, pulled out a stack of bills, and tossed it onto the bed.

“Thanks for last night. Consider this your compensation. And try not to leave a mess when you go.”

Calvin's eyes were bloodshot as he stared at the stack of bills lying on the bed. His jaw tightened.

Was she... treating him like skind of paid service?

He stepped forward, gripping her arm. “Kayla, what's that supposed to mean?”

Kayla gave him a slow, deliberate smile-sweet on the surface, sharp underneath. “Nothing special. Just a little tip

for your hard work. Not enough? Sorry, my budget’s tight these days.”

She paused, then added with a cool shrug, “Besides, | think it’s a fair price.”

His hands curled into fists at his sides. Fury surged through him, boiling just beneath his skin.

The next morning, Kaia rose at six.

It was the day they'd planned for their wedding photos, and she thought they'd just be shooting around the city.

But as Lucien’s private jet descended onto the helipad behind the villa, Kaia stood frozen in the hallway, still in

her pajamas, blinking in disbelief.

“Where are we going?” she asked, utterly bewildered.

Lucien smiled and gently ruffled her soft hair. “Forget already? We're going to take our wedding photos. Just as

we agreed.”

It wasn’t until they stepped off the jet and onto a secluded, sun-drenched island that Kaia fully grasped what

was

happening.

Lucien held her hand as they descended the steps, the ocean breeze lifting her hair like silk ribbons.

A professional photography team was already on the island, having arrived days in advance to prepare

everything down to the last detail.

“Mr. Graves, Mrs. Graves,” the lead coordinator greeted them warmly, “let's get started with your makeup.”

Kaia allowed herself to be led to the makeup chair, still half in a dream. Only after the stylists finished did it hit

her-this was really happening.

But she hadn't even seen the wedding dress yet.

Soon, the makeup artist ushered her to a fitting room, and when Kaia stepped inside, she was stunned.

Kaia’s breath caught.

Two months ago?

That would've been right after Lucien returned to the country...
