“Now, that’s not fair,” he said, forcing a chuckle. “Kaia, your mother had no family left. From the day we married, she never had to work again. You were born with a silver spoon in your mouth, weren’t you?”

Kaia slowly set down her fork, her eyes fixed on his face.

“Are you sure about that, Dad? That I grew up with a silver spoon?”

Sally had been sabotaging her in subtle, calculated ways for as long as she could remember.

The Domont Villa was far from the city. Her school commute

alone took over an hour.

When she was six, she once waited outside her school until the sun dipped low in the sky. The driver never came.

She didn’t have a cellphone, so she just stood there and watched as every other child was picked up by their parents.

Even if their parents arrived on mopeds or scooters, it didn’t matter—those pickups looked a thousand times warmer than anything she ever gol, even from her family with four wheels

and a chauffeur.

That day, it was Alyssa–the Graves family’s little princess, who usually didn’t get along with Kaia—who generously offered her a

ride.

“Kaia, no one came to pick you up?” she asked, peering curiously at the quiet girl standing alone at the school gate.

Kaia pressed her lips into a thin line. Her eyes were red, filled with tears she was trying hard not to shed.

Alyssa panicked. “Hey, why are you crying? I didn’t even bully you today!”

“Don’t cry, okay?” she said anxiously, rummaging around for

tissues.

Luckily, a teenage boy sitting in the front seat handed her a sky–blue handkerchief just in time.

Alyssa gratefully passed it to Kaia.

“Here, wipe your face. Don’t cry. Next time no one comes to pick you up, just ride home with me, alright?”

But Kaia’s tears only fell harder, like a string of beads suddenly snapped.

Alyssa was beside herself. In a desperate attempt to stop the

crying, she tilted her head and tried.

“Kaia, how about we be best friends from now on, okay? Please stop crying.”

Kaia wiped her face, her voice soft and sticky–sweet from all the tears. “Okay.”

Moments like these weren’t rare, but after that, Kaia was never left waiting alone at the school gates again.

Now, years later, Kaia looked across the table and curled her lips into a sarcastic smile.

“Dad, the only one in this family who truly grew up with a silver spoon in her mouth was Kimberly.”

Tobias had no response.

When Kaia was little, he barely did the dad thing–just covered the basics.

It was when the company was booming. He was too wrapped up in business to notice what his daughter felt.

In his mind, sending her to a top private school and making sure she never went hungry or cold–that was already more than enough.

He sighed, “Kaia, that’s not fair. When I was your age, your

grandmother didn’t have the means to give me even half of what you had. You went to the most expensive elementary school in the city.”

Kaia calmly picked up her fork and took a small bite of fish. “True. But didn’t I get transferred to a public school for middle school?”

Tobias‘ face stiffened.

Kaia gave a cold little smile. “It was Kimberly who stayed in private school through middle and high school. Not me.

“At the time, Sally said you were stressed from your startup and that the money should go toward your business. She said spending so much on my education wasn’t worth it. Have you forgotten that?”

Tobias was yanked back in time.

!

There had been a six–month stretch when the company was dangerously low on cash. He’d been chasing investors, applying for loans.

Sally had comforted him, saying they could cut household expenses to ease the pressure.

So Kaia’s education was the first thing sacrificed.

Tobias tried to salvage the conversation. “But still, Kaia, you

made us proud. No matter where you studied, you got into a top university, and you graduated near the top of your class.”

Kaia didn’t deny it. “Yes. I worked hard. Much harder than Kimberly ever had to. After all, my dear sister got into college by paying her way through a program overseas.”

Tobias‘ cheeks flushed few days,” she continued, setting her utensils down. “Dad, it’s better if you go back with shame. Every word from Kaia felt like a slap reminding him of all the ways he’d failed her.

When tugging on heartstrings didn’t work, he changed tactics.

“But your grandmother always truly loved you. She always took your side, no matter what. And your allowance was double what Kimberly got.”

Kaia’s gaze turned steely. “And yet you always found ways to quietly make it up to Kimberly after the fact, didn’t you?”

“I’ll be staying here these next to your place.

“If we keep dredging up the past every time we talk, I might start regretting my decision.”

Tobias‘ hand froze mid–air. “Regret what?”

“Letting you walk me down the aisle,” Kaia said coolly. “My ever–so–biased father.”
