“It was nothing. We just chatted about day–to–day stuff. If I’d known she was thinking of ending her life, I would’ve stopped her,” Luna said.

Kaia narrowed her eyes, her voice low and sharp. “Luna, whatever little games you’re playing, you’d better knock it off.

“You’re a mother now. Maybe try building some good karma for your kid.”

It sounded like a perfectly ordinary remark, but Luna felt her chest tighten as her heart dropped.

She kept wondering just how much Kaia really knew when Alden walked over.

“What were you and Kaia talking about just now?”

Luna deliberately let her eyes go misty. “Nothing, really. It’s fine, Alden.”

He frowned but then just shook his head. “Forget it. Just stay away from her from now on, okay? Don’t provoke her.”

Luna was furious inside, but she bit her lip and said, “Okay. I got it.”

Kayla had booked her flight out a week ago.

But Kaia was reluctant to see her go. “Kayla, do you really have to leave?”

She pushed her phone over so Kayla could see the chat with Calvin.

“He wants to propose the day you leave. What do I do? Should I tell him the truth?”

Kaia was genuinely torn. Calvin seemed serious about this proposal. He kept asking her about Kayla’s preferences, even down to the color of the roses.

Kayla looked heartbroken. “It’s too late now. Kaia, there was a time when I really wanted–to marry him. Even when acting gigs were limited, even when he kept restricting the roles I could take, I never complained.

“But eventually I realized, that wasn’t the life I wanted. I was bending over backwards, putting him above everything. And when I found out his family had arranged a blind date for him, I didn’t sleep a wink that night.

“That was the moment I knew–I can’t live like that anymore.”

Kaia understood. Sometimes people got lost, confused, and fell into unhealthy relationships.

No matter how many times others tried to warn them, they just wouldn’t wake up.

In fact, some people would never wake up. But others would snap out of it in the most unexpected, fleeting moment.

And once they did, there would be no going back.

Kaia gave her a hug. “As long as you’re happy. Just make sure you keep in touch once you’re back. Are you staying in New York for now?”

“Not really. I’ve still got two shows and a couple of business appearances lined up. These are things I agreed to before deciding to leave. I want to finish them all.”

Kaia sighed. “Alright. When will you be back in New York?”

“Next Wednesday. I’ll leave on Friday. We’ll still have a couple of days to hang out,” Kayla said.

“If Alyssa weren’t so far along, the three of us could’ve gone out and had some fun.”

“We’ll make up for it next time,” Kaia said,

After they hung up, Kaia turned to Lucien. “Did you know Calvin’s planning a proposal?”

Lucien looked up and nodded slightly. “Yeah.”

Calvin had been blowing up their group chat all week. Lucien got so annoyed he just muted and collapsed the whole thread out of sight.

“Oh. I mean… if, and I’m just saying if… If the proposal doesn’t go well, do you think he’ll take it hard?”

Lucien’s eyes lit up. “You saying it’s definitely not gonna go well?”

Kaia frowned. “Aren’t you two close?

“Why do you look so happy at the thought of Calvin failing?”

Lucien put on a wounded face. “What? Me? You think I’m like

that?”

Kaia nearly said yes, but she managed to hold it in.

Lucien actually tried to comfort her. “It’s fine. Honestly, it might be good for Calvin to take a hit. The guy’s had it way too easy his whole life; he’s overdue for some pain.”

Kaia’s mouth twitched. “Well, if you say so.”

Kaia didn’t want them to feel awkward, so she sent Lucien off to stay at Landon’s.

Landon popped open a rare bottle of liquor. “Lucien, want a glass?”

Lucien shook his head. “Didn’t I tell you I’m trying for a daughter? Why are you always trying to sabotage me?”

Landon scoffed. “Fine, more for me.”

With his wife gone, a quiet drink felt like a well–earned treat.

But his phone wouldn’t stop buzzing. Lucien, irritated, kicked him. “Can you silence that thing already? It’s driving me nuts.”

“Ugh, you don’t even know how annoying Calvin’s being. This proposal thing is making all of us crazy. Wait, Lucien, did you mute the group chat?”

Lucien gave a low chuckle. “Not just muted. Folded it.”

Landon immediately followed suit and collapsed the thread too. Finally, there was peace.

“Why does he have to be so dramatic about everything? Says he

wants a low–key proposal, but I bet his girl already suspects something.”

“She’s not his girl,” Lucien said.

Landon had only had one drink, but he thought he might be drunk.

“Huh? What’d you say?”

Lucien’s lips curled into a smirk. “She’s not even his girlfriend yet. He got it all wrong.”

Landon stared at him.

“Then what the hell is he proposing tomorrow for?”

Lucien shrugged. “Maybe he’s proposing… to disappointment.”

He feared that his boy might suffer, but he was more afraid that he would be too happy.

All four of them were nothing but a bunch of gloating fools.

Calvin’s heart was pounding with excitement,

He’d booked the venue in advance, personally checked and approved every detail of the decor.

He stared at the custom engagement ring, snapped a photo, and sent it to the group chat.
