Kaia was speechless.
“That's not mine. It’s for your niece.”
Lucien rubbed her flushed earlobe. “Liar, it’s your size. Try it on tonight?”
Kaia couldn't fathom why Lucien had such quirky tastes.

When Kaia took on the legal aid case, she hesitated.
Medical malpractice cases were tough.

“If you don’t want it, you can pass,” Jude said.

The client was a thirty-year-old man, represented by his elderly mother, Theresa Ford.
Their family was struggling. Theresa scraped by collecting recyclables, and her son had no savings. His illness
had cut off
their income.
Theresa wiped her tears. “Ms. Domont, my son was fine, working at the construction site, just feeling a sore
throat, so he went to Stonemont Medical Center.
“He walked in there healthy, and now he’s brain-dead! And those bastards want to throw us out! I'm taking
those cold-hearted doctors to court!”
She broke down, recounting how the hospital had stonewalled
her.
Kaia sighed, understanding Theresa's pain. She didn’t interrupt, just gently patted her back, offering quiet

Kaia nodded, taking it, but after a few pages, she spotted issues.
The patient's records were incomplete, and Theresa hadn't sealed them.
Kaia decided to visit the hospital with her.

Kaia stayed calm. “Theresa, I'll drive you to the State Health Department. You go in and file a complaint about

Theresa nodded eagerly. “Okay, I'll do it!”
Kaia noticed the hospital's license on display.
Its expiration date had passed a month ago.

“Tfor bed,” Lucien said, shooting her a playfully resentful glance that made her stifle a laugh.
He looked oddly like a sulky housewife.
“Alright, letsave my files, and I'll sleep.”
Kaia assumed Lucien would go easy on her, given her hard
work.
He pulled her into his arms, kissing her deeply.

Kaia laughed awkwardly.
“I'm hungry.

Lucien nuzzled her collarbone, giving it a firm kiss, his voice

Kaia lit up. “Great!”
She watched Lucien tie on an apron at the kitchen island, exuding an unexpected sense of security.

Shirtless, his toned muscles, chiseled abs, and alluring V-line
were half-hidden under that annoying apron.
Kaia swallowed.
What a body.
“No heavy carbs. | don’t want to gain weight.”
Lucien chuckled, “Don’t worry, the only thing getting fat is your

She'd polished off the whole plate.
Lucien nodded, pleased, and pulled out the outfit Kaia had hidden in the car.
She shrank back, wary. “What... what are you doing?”
