Desmond chuckled. “Relax. Lucien’s never shown a woman any real affection before. You saw the way he was
grinning today like it didn’t cost him a dime. He's obviously crazy about his little bride. She’s seven years
younger than him, you know?”
Malcolm muttered under his breath, “No wonder he looks so
old...”
“What was that?” Desmond squinted.
“Nothing. Didn't say anything.”
“I should leave a gift before | go,” Malcolm said, rising from his seat. “It'd feel wrong to just walk out without
leaving anything.”
With that, he headed straight toward the guest registration table at the entrance of the ballroom.
Desmond blinked after him.
Was everyone who cback from overseas this generous?
Did they just have money burning holes in their pockets?
“Hi, I'd like to leave a wedding gift.”
One of the Graves family’s attendants smiled politely and handed him the registry book.

Malcolm pulled out an envelope he had prepared ahead of tinstead of bringing a physical gift.
The attendant felt the envelope-thin-and casually dropped
it into the box without much thought. Then he glanced at the nMalcolm had written down.
“Malcolm Vane.”
The ndidn’t ring any bells. He was almost certain Lucien hadn't invited anyone named Malcolm Vane.

After the wedding, Lucien leaned against Kaia with a faint scent of alcohol on his breath, half-asleep.
“Lucien, are you okay? Do you need help? The ceremony’s over. Let's go home.”
Before she could guide him away, Calvin and the others pounced.

Lucien swatted Calvin's hand away with force. “Don’t touch me! Who even are you? Only my wife gets to touch
me.”

Seriously? What was with everyone today? Was the whole world messing with him?
He scowled.
Oh, look at you with your precious wife. Must be nice. Go ahead and rub it in.
Kaia gave an apologetic smile. “Sorry about that. He's probably had too much. We'll have him treat you guys
properly next time.”
After saying goodbye to Kayla and the others, she helped Lucien into the car.
Allen stepped forward. “Kaia, we really appreciate you taking care of Lucien. He's lucky to have you.”
As he spoke, he noticed Lucien, sprawled in the backseat, crack one eye open. Allen sneered internally.
So that’s it. | knew it. He's faking it.
That little bit of alcohol didn’t knock him out-he was pretending.
Kaia shook her head. “Not at all, We're heading hnow.”

By the tthe wedding wrapped up, Tobias’ presence had been nearly invisible. Even Jude had gotten several
toasts from Lucien throughout the night, but Tobias-the actual father of the bride-had been ignored completely.
“Mr. Tobias Domont, who would've thought your daughter had such impressive taste? Mr. Graves is your son-in-
law now? You'll have to introduce us sometime.”
Tobias forced a hollow laugh. “Maybe next time. He's had a bit too much. They're heading hearly.”
He held back a grimace. Introduce them? Hell, he hadn’t even had the chance to formally meet Lucien himself.

Back at the villa, Jason was already waiting for Lucien and Kaia.
He stepped forward, ready to help Kaia support Lucien, but Lucien suddenly opened one eye and glared at him.
Jason backed off immediately.
He got the message.
Without another word, he dismissed the entire staff from the villa for the evening, including himself.
Just before leaving, he turned to Kaia. “Mrs. Graves, if you need

“God, it’s burning up...” Lucien groaned, yanking off his tie and tossing it aside.
Kaia could tell he had drunk quite a bit. She struggled to get his jacket off.
“You're so heavy,” she muttered, puffing her cheeks in frustration,
Lucien’s narrow eyes fluttered open lazily. “Yeah?”
With a crooked grin, he suddenly rolled over and pinned her,

Each kiss landed like rain, tracing down the curve of her spine, trailing lower and lower.
Kaia’s body trembled ever so slightly. She knew exactly what was about to happen.
“Lucien!”
His voice was rough, his eyes already burning with a fire that refused to be held back.
There was no stopping now.
His breath cheavier and quicker.
The curve of her waist in his hands, the way her body moved beneath him-he was already long past reason,
At that moment, only one thought remained in Lucien’s mind.
He wanted her.
