Lucien pressed a kiss to her ring finger. “Thank you, Kaia.”-

Every word had come from the depths of his heart. If love was like tending a garden, he would nurture her until she bloomed as brilliant as the moon, as radiant as the stars themselves.
The hashtag “NewYork’sgoldenboyproposes toKaiaDomont” shot straight to the top of the local trending chart.
The comments were a mix of bitterness, envy, and indifference.
One netizen commented: [Who even is Kaia? Would love to trade places with her for a day-must be nice being God’s favorite]
Another chimed in: [Kaia, you lucky girl. You really are living the dream.]
Someone else commented: [Is no one going to call out how excessive this is? If someone wants to propose, they should do it privately at home. All this public spectacle is unnecessary.]
Then, someone else replied: [Let them live! If they’ve got money to burn, why not? Stop being salty.]
And someone, a little bitter, added: [Man, the rest of us really are just extras in this world. Congrats, Kaia. Guess I’ll go back to

Watching those viral videos and seeing Lucien himself showing off his love on Instagram, Alden crushed the glass in his hand.
It seemed to him that Lucien didn’t care about his pride at all. Not only had he been publicly humiliated at his own wedding, but now Lucien was making a spectacle of it online as well.
Just then, Luna walked into the study in lace nightwear, only to see Alden’s blood-soaked palm.
She had been desperate to fix things between them. If she lost his affection now, her footing in the Graves family would only. get shakier.
So, Luna rushed over, grabbed Alden’s hand, and asked with a worried face, “Alden, what happened to your hand?”
“It’s nothing,” Alden muttered, his tone low as he tried to pull
away.
But Luna wasn’t about to let this chance to win him over slip
away.
She quickly fetched the first-aid kit and gently tended to his wound. Her warm breath brushed against his skin, soft and slow, making his eyes twitch faintly.
“Alden,” Luna said, “I know a lot has happened lately and you’ve

been upset. But my love for you hasn’t changed.”

Her eyes turned red, brimming with tears as she knelt between his knees, delicate and pleading. The irritation in Alden’s chest cased just a little.
“You really like me that much?” Alden asked.
“I do.” Luna dropped her gaze shyly. “You’re the one I love
most.”
A shadow flickered through Alden’s eyes. Maybe it was the sting of everything that had happened, or maybe he just needed somewhere to unload all the pressure burning inside him.
He scooped her up into his arms and carried her toward the bedroom. “Fine. I’ll give you what you want.”

Right by the entryway of the villa, Lucien had Kaia pressed up against the door, losing himself in a passionate kiss.
Lucien wasn’t satisfied with just one kiss. His lips traveled down her jaw, leaving slow, lingering kisses that had her breathing tangled up with his, making her fingers tremble.
Kaia tried to push him away, but before her hands even reached his chest, he had already caught her wrists and pinned them above her head, his movements brimming with raw intensity.

She just went along with it, barely reacting. They were husband and wife now, and the whirlwind proposal Lucien had pulled off earlier still had her nerves reeling.
Even so, Kaia couldn’t shake the feeling that everything was happening ahead of schedule, though they had promised it would only happen after the ceremony.
She murmured, “Lucien…”
Lucien held Kaia close with one hand, raising her leg to wrap around his waist, while his other hand steadied her head, pulling her into a kiss that only grew more intense.
He guided them to the bedroom, their lips never parting, each step making Kaia’s pulse quicken. When they reached the bed, he laid her down with gentle precision, bracing himself above
her.
His breath ghosted across her jaw, skimmed her cheeks, and traced down her throat to her collarbone, leaving a trail of fire in
its wake.
The anticipation was electric, almost overwhelming.
