Landon played dumb. “What do you mean, last time? What are you talking about?”
Alyssa hesitated, biting her lip. “I mean the night we drank too much after the concert.”
Nothing had actually happened that night. Landon had purposely misled her, making her believe it was her fault.
If it weren't for that, she would never have ended up marrying him.
He shrugged. “Oh, babe, you misunderstood. You were drunk. How could | take advantage of that?”
Alyssa fell silent. It was like she didn’t even know the man in front of her anymore.
This guy is so sneaky! Who the hell taught him to be like this?

George hadn't really meant it when he said he wanted to explore. It was just something he blurted out, He had
no real plans to drag Kaia all over the city.
So he waved it off. “Don’t bother, Kaia. Let's just do a one-day tour of New York or something.”

Lucien shot him a sideways glance, looking mildly impressed- like George had finally said something that made
sense.
And after that, George could actually feel Lucien’s attitude shift. Huh. Progress. The corner of his mouth
twitched, almost a smirk.
Just then, Kaia picked up a call. It was Alyssa.
George's eyes flickered, just for a second, but he said nothing.
Kaia answered, cheerful as ever.
“Hey, Alyssa. Yeah, George is back in the States. Oh, Lucien and | are just showing him around.”
Then, after a pause, she added, “A honeymoon? Us, together? Sure, that works.”
The moment she hung up, Lucien frowned. “What do you mean, together?”
Kaia turned to him, totally casual,
“Alyssa said it’s boring with just the two of them. She figured the four of us could do a group honeymoon. Maybe
hit a beach or something. What do you think?”
Lucien gave a half-shrug. “Not really my thing, but whatever.

Then Lucien suddenly threw a jab. “So, George, why didn’t your wife cback with you?”
George scoffed. “I'm still single.”
Lucien raised an eyebrow, dragging out the word, “Ohhh. That explains it.”
George clenched his jaw.
God, this guy is unbearable.
No wonder Dad kept hinting that Kaia deserved someone better.
Kaia had finally taken stto explore the sights.
The scenery was gorgeous, but honestly? It didn’t take long before the boredom kicked in.
Lucien, always attentive, handed her a bottle of water with a smile.
“Tired already, babe? Now that George is here, | guess we've gotta keep up a little. Still, these spots feel more

Then he turned and gave George a slow, deliberate once-over.
“By the way, George, how old are you again?”
George's expression darkened.
But Lucien kept right on going, all sunshine and fake innocence.
“Hey, getting older’s not a bad thing. Just means it’s tto think about settling down. I'm a pretty
straightforward guy- hope that doesn’t bother you.”
The sniping didn’t stop. They went at it the whole time.
At first, Kaia tried to mediate, but eventually she just gave up.
She was really starting to believe that old saying-the older the man, the more childish he got.
Honestly, it was exhausting. Two grown men bickering like a couple of kids fighting over a toy.
By day three, George had had enough.
“I'm gonna go explore on my own. You guys go ahead and do your thing,”
Lucien just grinned. That ssmug, unbothered grin he

blind dates.
Eighteen.
How could one man be this annoying?

Now that George was finally leaving, Lucien put on a fake pout.
“Sorry for being such a lousy host, George. But hey, I've got this friend's older sister—she’s amazing. Wantto
introduce you?”
George's stare could've frozen lava. “Not. Interested.”
Lucien blinked innocently.
“That's too bad. Still, I hope you find someone soon. Y'know, time's ticking. You're not getting any younger, so
maybe don’t be so picky? Miss this shot, there might not be another.”
George nearly kicked him out of the hotel.
Lucien rubbed his nose and gave Kaia a wounded look. “Babe, | was just trying to help. George is so mean...”
Kaia frowned and snapped, “Enough. We're going home.”
She was officially done.
Lucien just smiled. Not even a little upset. If anything, he was

Pinally, the honeymoon could begin.
Landon had looked up a few honeymoon destinations and sent them to Lacion, but each time, Lucien replied with
nothing more than a single period.
After the third one, Landon finally snapped. “Okay, seriously- where do you actually want to go?”
Lucien replied casually, “How about an island? | just bought two. Got one for you too. They're right next to each
other. One each. You're welcome.”
This way, they'd technically be honeymooning together-but not really together. Lucien found that arrangement
oddly satisfying.
Landon immediately pulled up island
prices and was more than happyito

As the two private jets headed toward separate islands, Kaia let out a disappointed sigh. “Why aren't we all
going together, Lucien?”
“That wouldn't work.” Lucien said, completely serious.

He said it so smoothly, like he could spin stories out of thin air without blinking.
Then, Lucien added, “Let's just enjoy ourselves, honey. I'll take you surfing.”
Kaia’s eyes lit up. “Yes, please.”

Kaia had never been surfing before, but she picked it up quickly. Lucien held her safety strap and asked, “Let go.
You up for it?”
Kaia still looked scared and shook her head. “No way!”
Seeing how quickly she chickened out, Lucien smiled faintly, “Con, honey. Don’t look down and don’t look at
the water. Just look at me.”

For a second, the brilliant sea and sky faded into a blur in his eyes, while her reflection stood out with startling
