[Malcolm, | had steak today. It tasted just like our chef's cooking back home. How's everyone? Mom, Dad... God, |
miss you all so much, but | don’t dare reach out.]
[Has Bernard gotten married yet? He's always been aloof and proud, but he can’t stay single forever. Mom, are
you still worrying about his marriage?]
[Dad, funny how pretty things can be so fake. That woman calledtoday. She didn’t care that | knew she was
the homewrecker. She's certain | won't leave. | can’t sleep, but Kaia’s only one. When she’s a bit older, I'll come
back to you all, okay?]
Kaia took a deep breath, pushing down the sting in her eyes.
Mom, so | was the one holding you back.
Lucien knocked on the door. Kaia composed herself and opened

He held his phone, immediately noticing the glint of tears in her
eyes.
“Crying?” Lucien stepped forward, his hands settling on her waist, pulling her close.
“No. Just read Mom's diary. It's a bit heavy. | just feel it wasn’t fair for her,” Kaia said.

She rested her head on Lucien’s shoulder. “Lucien, do you think if Mom hadn't had me, her life might've turned
out differently?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIf her mother hadn’t had her, Kaia believed she would've been brave enough to leave. She’d have returned to
her safe haven, far from that cage.
Lucien’s gaze darkened as he stared at her slender neck. He leaned down and nipped it lightly.
Kaia let out a short yelp. Her smooth cheeks creased.
“Lucien, why'd you bite me?”
Lucien’s expression was cool. “Just making sure you're not drowning in guilt.”
“Stop with the what-ifs.” He smirked. “You think I could live off cold showers forever?”
Kaia’s lingering sadness dissolved under Lucien’s roguish grin.
She gave him a light shove. “Alright, I'm going to shower.”
Lucien remembered why he'd knocked. “Honey, how do you order takeout here? | want to buy something.”
“Here, download this app, link your address and number, and then order whatever you want.”

After explaining, Kaia grew curious. “What do you need to buy? Hungry? | can whip something up.”
“Yeah, a bit hungry,” Lucien said, his eyes glinting. “No worries, I'll order. You shower first. | need some
toiletries.”
His tone was so matter-of-fact that Kaia missed the sly flicker in his eyes.
An hour later, Lucien returned with a large bag.
Kaia was blow-drying her hair. Her apartment had just one bathroom.
The dryer’s loud hum filled the air, and her cheeks flushed from
the heat.
“Lucien, hang on. I'll finish drying, and then you can shower.”
Lucien pulled a black package from his plastic bag and set it on the bathroom counter. “Honey, | got you some
pajamas. Wear these tonight.”
Kaia raised a delicate brow. “I have pajamas. Why these?”
“Honey, just try them.”
Kaia set down the dryer and opened the package skeptically.

When she saw the lacy slip dress, her face flushed brighter.
“Lucien, you perv!”
Lucien chuckled low, “Yeah, I'm a perv. But you promised.”

Kaia suddenly remembered the set she had left in the car earlier -and now with this one, she had two.
Blushing, she shooed him out of the bathroom.
She wasn’t sure if he'd done it on purpose, but he'd picked the smallest size, clinging to her curves.
Looking in the mirror, she felt her heart racing.
This was even more revealing than the set she'd bought.
Kaia swept her long hair over her chest, making it look a bit less bold.
The dress was short, barely covering the tops of her thighs.
“Honey, you ready?” Lucien called.
Kaia’s bright, alluring eyes flickered. “Yeah, ready.”
When the bathroom door opened, Lucien swallowed hard.
Desire colored his gaze, his voice like it was steeped in whiskey.
