Kaia let out a cold, sharp laugh. “Luna, you've always known how to play men, haven't you? You wield your
tragic backstory like a weapon, milking sympathy from anyone who'll listen. It’s your signature move.
“But you know how men are-always wanting what they can’t have. Once they get it, they lose interest.
“Look at Alden. The moment | married Lucien, he suddenly
realized what he'd lost.”
Luna’s scream was raw, unhinged. “You wretch! It's all your fault! You seduced Alden and turned him against
me!”
Kaia’s lips twisted into a mocking smirk. “Seduced him? Please, you're the one who treated my scraps like
treasure. Tell me, how is Alden better than my husband?
“I didn’t have to lift a finger to make you two turn on each other. You did all the work, Luna, unraveling like a
madwoman for the world to see.”
Kaia gazed down at Luna’s near-hysterical state, a wave of satisfaction washing over her.
“Luna, after what you did to my grandmother, you deserve everything that happened today.”

In her heart, Kaia whispered softly.

Grandma, do you see this? Luna’s finally paid for what she did.

“You vile woman! You're nothing but a vile woman!” Luna shrieked, her voice cracking with desperation.
But no one answered her cries anymore.
A sudden, sharp pain gripped Luna’s abdomen.
“Doctor! Doctor!” she gasped.
Kaia stood back, quietly savoring the sight of Luna’s face contorted in agony.
Even her luck runs dry eventually.

“Lucien?” she called softly.
Lucien’s hands were tucked in his pockets, his expression a tangle of unreadable emotions. “Done talking?”
Kaia’s heart sank. She realized he’d heard everything.

“Lucien.” She reached for his hand, but he pulled away, his movement subtle but deliberate.
“Had fun usingto rile up Alden and tear their marriage apart?” His voice was low, edged with something
sharp.
Kaia’s lips pressed into a line, a flicker of hurt in her eyes. “Weren't you the one who toldto use you? Now
you're complaining?”

“Speak up. What's with the mumbling?” Lucien said, his face a mask of indifference.
Kaia’s nose stung, her voice trembling. “I said you're being petty!”
Lucien let out a huff and pulled her by the waist into the stairwell of the emergency exit.
With two playful swats to her backside, he teased, “Who's petty now? And what do you mean by saying men
always want what they can’t have? How am | anything like that?
“And when they get it, they lose interest? When did | ever lose interest in you? Tell me!”
Kaia burst into a giggle, her eyes sparkling. “You're all worked up over that?”
“What else would it be?” Lucien raised an eyebrow, his tone

lighter now.
Kaia had thought he was upset about her scheming, worried she wasn’t the sweet, innocent woman he wanted.
She paused, then grabbed his shirt collar, pulling him close for a soft kiss. “I was talking about jerks like Alden.
You're not like them.”
Lucien leaned down, his eyes locking onto hers with quiet intensity. “Then what am I, Mrs. Graves? How would
you describe your husband?”
Kaia rose on her tiptoes, planting another gentle kiss.
“My husband? He’s the best man in the world...”
She blinked up at him, a mischievous glint in her eyes. “You know, like a loyal, adorable puppy.”
Lucien froze. Just a puppy?
Kaia cradled his face, stealing another kiss. “Like that review? If you do, givea woof.”
Lucien sighed, “Woof.”

Luna stared blankly at the hospital ceiling, tears streaming down her face, unstoppable.
Beside her, Alden’s lawyer held out the divorce papers.
“Ms. Thorne, please sign here.”

Luna wanted to fight, to cling to sshred of hope, but deep down, she knew it was futile.
With a trembling hand, she signed her name.
She knew it was over-everything was over.
The Graves family used their power and swiftly finalized Alden and Luna’s divorce.
Allen’s condition stabilized, and he was discharged soon after.
After a period of quiet reflection, Alden sought out Allen.
“Grandpa, | want to work at the overseas branch. Can you talk to Uncle Lucien for me?”
“Why not ask him yourself? Afraid he’ll say no?” Allen asked, his tone gentle but probing.
Alden stayed silent, his jaw tight.

Alden’s lips pressed into a thin line, his eyes shadowed with regret. “I understand, Grandpa.”
Just as Allen predicted, when Alden nervously told Lucien his plan, Lucien didn’t hesitate.
“Fine,” he said, barely looking up.
“Thank you, Uncle Lucien! | messed up before, but | won't make the smistakes again.”
“Good. Go get ready,” Lucien replied, his tone clipped.
As Alden’s footsteps faded, Lucien’s lips curved into a faint smile. Finally, he’s gone.
Alden had been nothing but trouble since he cback. Better he stay far away.
Joanne, however, couldn’t accept it.
