“We moved abroad during your grandpa’s time,” Malcolm's voice cracked. “But twenty years ago, we pissed off

the wrong people. Your grandpa got framed and locked up, and your grandma got sick right after.

“Before they took him away, he made us swear not to contact your mom. Didn't want his mess ruining her life,

too. Our family has only started getting back on our feet over the past few years.

“But twenty years in prison... it broke your grandpa. And your grandma... after being in a coma all this time,

she’s finally gone. Once we sorted out her funeral, we clooking for Lillian, only to find..."

He hadn’t expected that Lillian would already be gone by then.

Malcolm's voice turned thick with regret. “Kaia, | went to Lillian’s grave that day. | hope she doesn’t blus. It's

not that we forgot about her. We simply had no choice.”

Kaia listened in silence, stunned by the story.

Still, one question burned in her mind-

What kind of person had the Vane family crossed to end twenty years of wrongful imprisonment?

Malcolm sighed, “Not good. Ever since your grandmother passed, he’s been bedridden.”

In truth, Malcolm had returned to bring Lillian back to see their

father one last time.

But he hadn't anticipated that Lillian was already gone.

He had to leave the country in a few days. His brother, Bernard Vane, had called recently and said their father

had becdelirious, often mumbling Lillian’s nin his sleep.

Kaia exhaled. “Uncle Malcolm, what do you needto do?”

She wasn't sure if they should even tell her grandfather that her mother had passed. What if the news crushed

what little life he had left?

Malcolm pressed his lips together. “Kaia, I'd like you to cback with me. You look a lot like your mother. He's

not fully lucid. If you tell him you're Lillian, he might not know the difference.”

“Alright,” Kaia agreed. “But I'll need to discuss it with my husband first.”

Malcolm frowned.

What is this? Is Kaia afraid of her husband too?

Worried she might be following the spath as her mother, he said earnestly, “Kaia, does that man treat you

well? He's much older than you. If anyone is pressuring you, | have the means to protect you now.”

Kaia couldn't help but laugh through her surprise.

“Uncle Malcolm, are you seriously suggesting Lucien forcedinto marriage?”

Malcolm raised an eyebrow. “What else am | supposed to think? He's so much older-seven years! And he’s your

ex-fiancé’s uncle. He must've tricked you somehow!”

Kaia smiled and explained patiently, “He treatsvery well. There was no . Honestly, Uncle Malcolm, I'm

the one who lucked out in this relationship.”

“Really?” Malcolm still looked skeptical.

“Really,” Kaia said, absolutely certain.

Just then, her phone buzzed inside her bag. She picked it up. “Lucien?”

“Chris said he couldn’t find you. Where are you? Did something happen?” Lucien’s voice was tense with worry.

Kaia smiled, “Sorry, | forgot to tell Chris. I'm with my uncle.”

Lucien raised an eyebrow on the other end. “He found you?”

“Yeah.”

Kaia smiled to herself. Malcolm hadn't just found her-he had even spent half the night talking smack about

Lucien.

“Sendthe location. I'm on my way.”

Fifteen minutes later, Lucien appeared at the café, his expression cool and unreadable.

Malcolm crossed his arms, sizing up Kaia’s husband with a critical eye.

He admitted Lucien was decent-looking, barely worthy of Kaia.

But catching Lucien’s sharp gaze, also assessing him, Malcolm thought this man was too cunning.

Malcolm gave a light scoff. “Kaia, introduce us.”

Kaia said, “Lucien, this is my uncle, Malcolm. He attended our wedding-those gifts were from him.”

Lucien stood politely, giving a slight bow. “Hello.”

Malcolm grunted, “Hello.”

Malcolm scoffed internally.

Like hell I will! Every penny’s going to Kaia! You won't see a dime!

Kaia knew Lucien had looked into Malcolm's identity but hadn't mentioned their prior meeting.

“You two have met?” she asked.

Malcolm shot Lucien a warning glance. “Kaia, we crossed paths over sbusiness.”

Lucien played along smoothly. “Yes, Kaia, we met once for business. Didn't realize we were family.”

Malcolm rolled his eyes inwardly.

Family?

Seeing everyone together, Kaia told Lucien she wanted to go abroad with Malcolm.

Lucien considered it for a moment.

Malcolm was cornered, unable to refuse.

“Of course, calong,” he said.

With the plan settled, Kaia and Lucien left.

She suggested spending the night at her apartment.

Lucien nodded, understanding she’d taken in a lot and needed tto process.

Back at her apartment, Kaia shut herself in her bedroom.

She sat at her desk, quietly opening her mother’s diary.
