She blinked, disoriented. “Where am 17”

Smelling the characteristic scent of hospital disinfectant, Luna asked, “Am | sick?”

“You fainted. Low blood sugar and anemia. Nothing serious,” Alden replied, seated beside her. “You'll stay

overnight for observation, then go htomorrow.”

Luna glanced around and realized only Alden was with her.

She reached out, fingers lightly tracing the warm center of his palm.

Her pinky curled and brushed over it, a silent plea.

“Alden, are you really not coming with me?”

He withdrew his hand slowly, lips pressed into a tight line. “I can’t leave Alfly Entertainment behind.

“I don’t have any shares in the Graves Group. Alfly is the only thing that’s fully mine.”

Without it, he wouldn't have any leverage against Lucien.

Tears slid silently down Luna’s face. “Then... how often will you visit me, Alden?”

He sighed, “I'll try to conce a month. Whenever | have time, I'll fly over. And maybe when the new year

comes, once Uncle Lucien’s cooled off a bit, Mom can speak to Grandpa about letting you return.”

Even though she didn’t want to admit it, the decision had already been made.

She was going abroad, whether she liked it or not.

Elsewhere, Alyssa clutched Kaia’s hand.

“Kaia, Uncle Lucien nearly fell saving someone today? That was

insane.”

“It really was,” Kaia murmured, her heart still not fully recovered from the fright. Even now, when things had

calmed down, just thinking about it made her break into a cold sweat.

Alyssa leaned in conspiratorially. “I have a theory. A bold one. From the moment Uncle Lucien cback to the

country, everything he’s done-step by step-1 think he’s fallen for you,

“And it’s not ssudden crush. | think he’s been into you for a while.”

Kaia froze.

He likes her?

She didn’t dare let the thought sink in too deep,

But from the very first day Lucien returned, he had been there for her. From his subtle hints before they

registered their marriage, to the wedding dress and rings he'd prepared in advance.

She didn’t dare overthink it. She didn’t want to mistake kindness for something it wasn’t. And yet she couldn't

stop herself.

No one else had ever made her feel like her life csecond to

theirs. Lucien could have easily stayed back, could have chosen not to risk himself to save Harry. But he did it

anyway.

Harry's suicide attempt would have brought massive negative press to Jude and the firm. She didn’t want that to

happen either. But to Lucien, Harry was a stranger. Someone like Lucien -rational, sharp, always calculating-he

would have instantly seen through the bigger picture.

So the fact that he acted anyway... He didn’t do it for the firm. He didn’t do it for Harry. He did it for her.

So his feelings for her-were they all calculated from the start, or love at first sight?

Meanwhile, Allen sat in silence, rubbing his temples.

“Lucien,” he sighed, “you really went that far for her? Was it worth embarrassing Zane like that?”

The last thing he wanted was to see his sons turning on each

other.

“Why wouldn't it be worth it?” Lucien countered calmly.

“Dad, look,” he pressed on, “this whole engagement thing? That was Mom and Mrs. Domont’s deal. | had no

objections. If Alden had truly cherished her, | would've stayed away. | would've never returned.

“But he didn’t know what love meant. He didn’t understand what it meant to value someone until he lost her.

Isn't that a

little too late?

“I respected the ‘first come, first served’ rule. But if the first guy couldn't appreciate what he had? Well, don’t

hatefor taking my shot.”

Allen froze. “You... When did this start?”

Lucien’s gaze narrowed, his expression as lazy and casual as ever, but his eyes-those sharp, serious eyes-gave

him away, “Earlier than you think.”

Allen sat there, stunned. For a moment, all he could do was curse in his heart.

What kind of twisted genius did | raise?

Lucien left Allen’s study and scanned the estate.

When he didn’t see Kaia anywhere inside, he finally found her and Alyssa whispering in the garden.

“Hey, honey,” he called softly. “It's getting late. Tto head home.”

Alyssa took one glance at Lucien’s slight frown and leapt to her feet.

“Kaia, you should go with Uncle Lucien now!”

Lucien’s smile was slow and unhurried, clearly in a good mood.

“No rush. Take your time.”

Alyssa was speechless.

Is he being patient, or not?

Still, she wasn’t going to test it. If she lingered too long, Lucien would skewer her with his stare.

Kaia watched Alyssa’s vanishing figure with mild exasperation. She glanced at Lucien,

“Did you really have to scare her like that?”

Lucien walked over and gently took her soft hand into his.

“Alright, I'll transfer her shush money later to make it up. Now let's go home, alright?”

His voice was low, husky, and laced with amusement. Kaia’s ears instantly flushed red.

If he kept this up, she really wouldn't be able to stop herself from believing he’d been planning this all along.

Just as Alyssa reached the top of the stairs, her phone buzzed with a notification.

It was a generous bank transfer.

Alyssa grinned so wide her cheeks hurt.

She texted Lucien: [Thank you, Lord of Wealth.]

She hummed happily, skipping down the hallway-only to bump into Allen, who was on his way back to his room,

“Alyssa, what's got you in such a good mood?”
