Chapter 181 Your Death Was Unjust

He snapped, “Fine. You’re getting married now. You’ve got wings and no one can rein you in. But Kaia, don’t forget this– you still carry the Domont name.”

Without his family name, did she think she could have married into a powerful family like the Graves?

Kaia watched him storm off, fuming and indignant, then said with quiet mockery, “Sue, I’m done. You can clear the table.”

Sue let out a soft sigh. “Yes.”

It was heartbreaking how these two, father and daughter, had become more distant than strangers.

For three nights in a row, Lucien came to the Domont Villa to have dinner with Kaia.

Sue observed it all with quiet satisfaction. Kaia’s husband clearly cherished her. If Kaia’s mother were watching from above, surely she’d be at peace.

At 7 p.m., Lucien was still lounging around, clearly in no rush to leave.

Kaia nudged him. “Lucien, it’s time for you to head home.”

Lucien caught her soft hand and kept brushing kisses across her

fingertips, again and again. “I missed you. I don’t want to leave. You’ve only been gone for three days, but I haven’t had a single good night’s sleep.”

Kaia laughed, “You’re being dramatic. We don’t even sleep in the

same room.”

Lucien tilted his head, eyes deep with amusement, and stared at her–first her eyes, then slowly down her face, lingering at her lips before trailing further to her blushing neck and lower still.

Kaia, flustered, quickly lifted a hand to block his gaze. “What are you looking at?”

“You,” he murmured, catching her hand and gently pinning it behind her back. “Honey, starting tomorrow night, we’ll be sharing a room.”

The implication in his voice was crystal clear.

Kaia shoved him out the front door, then turned and practically fled back inside.

Lucien glanced down at his empty hand, smiling to himself, “She’s so shy. What’s she going to do tomorrow night?”

Kaia, back in her room, was a mess of nerves. The way he’d

looked at her just now–so intense and heated–it was enough to make her feel like she’d been set on fire.

It took a long time for her to calm down. Even then, she lay in bed tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.

Drowsy and restless, Kaia eventually got up and wandered toward the window. That was when she caught a faint, flickering glow behind the artificial rock garden.

She threw on a coat and went downstairs.

Behind the stone formation, Sue knelt alone. The firelight danced on her face, casting flickers of melancholy and guilt in her expression.

“Mrs. Lillian Domont,” Sue whispered, her voice thick with emotion. “Ms. Domont has finally found a good man. You don’t need to worry about her anymore. She’s doing well, truly.

“Mrs. Lillian Domont, please don’t blame me. Sally had leverage over my family back home. I was afraid to speak up. I know your death was unjust, but please don’t hold it against me.

“I’m burning this for you now, to give you peace.”

A soft creak behind her made Sue freeze.

“Who’s there?” she called out, voice trembling.

She stood up and crossed her arms over her chest, wary as she turned to look–Only to see a familiar face stepping into view, the firelight catching the cold gleam in Kaia’s eyes.

“Ms. Domont!” Sue gasped.

Kaia’s voice was low, icy, and sharp as a blade.

“Sue, who did you just say died unjustly?”

Meanwhile, Landon had organized a bachelor party for Lucien.

The whole group was plotting to get him blackout drunk, but Lucien was ready for them.

“Why should I drink just because we’re playing dice?” he said, rolling up his sleeves. “You beat me, I’ll drink. Otherwise, don’t bother.”

Wiley was the first to rise to the challenge. “Alright, let’s play!”

Fifteen minutes later, he was stumbling toward the bathroom to

throw up.

Even as he clutched the wall, he didn’t forget to shout back, “Calvin, you’re up next!”

Calvin groaned, “Why don’t you go again?”

Still, he took Wiley’s seat and the dice, managing to last a solid thirty minutes before bolting for the bathroom.

Lucien twirled the dice in his hand with a sly smile. “You still wanna try, Landon?”

Landon quickly waved him off. “Nope. I’m good. We’ve got a big day tomorrow anyway.”

Lucien shot him a look that said wise decision, then casually slipped on his jacket and strolled out.

Landon watched him go, lips twitching in resignation. Honestly, what had they been thinking, trying to mess with that man?

Dragging the two drunkards out, Landon grunted into his

phone, “Hey, someone come pick up your bosses. Yeah, both of them are trashed.”

Sleek black Bugattis cruised slowly down the city streets, drawing awestruck stares from everyone it passed.

“Who’s getting married today? That’s insane!”

“Twelve Bugattis?! I’m pretty sure there are only a dozen of them in the whole country!”

That morning’s trending topic at 8 a.m. sharp was claimed by none other than Lucien’s extravagant wedding convoy.

Twelve luxury cars, cach worth tens of millions. That was over a

billion dollars in motion.

At exactly 8 a.m., Lucien’s elite wedding fleet pulled up in front

of the Domont Villa.

He stepped out from the lead car, clad in a perfectly tailored black suit.

His sharp features looked even more striking in the morning light–handsome, elegant, powerful. In his hand, he held an exquisite bouquet meant for the woman he’d waited so long to call his own.

Behind him, the groomsmen followed in coordinated suits, long legs moving in perfect rhythm as they pushed open the gates of

the villa.

Lucien spotted Sue right away. “I’m here to pick up my bride.”

Sue was momentarily stunned by his presence, so commanding that it made her breath catch. “Yes, of course. Ms. Domont is upstairs. On the second floor.”

Tobias, standing by, felt his chest tighten with emotion as he watched Lucien stride in with the air of a king. “You’re here,” Tobias said, his voice gruff.

Lucien gave a slight nod. “I came to take Kaia home.”
