Chapter 267 Kaia’s Revenge
Alden stood at Allen’s bedside, his stomach churning with a sickening mix of anger and shame.
Zane frowned, his voice low. “What’s wrong?
“Who was that on the phone?”
Alden let out a heavy sigh, the weight of it crushing. “It was Luna. She’s in a room upstairs. She says she’s pregnant.”
Zane’s eyes widened in shock.
Kaia raised an eyebrow, her lips twitching with dark amusement. Luna was nothing if not tenacious.
A conviction for child abandonment could land her five years behind bars, but pregnancy might get her bail–or even a suspended sentence.
Kaia leaned back into Lucien’s embrace, her arms crossed, a quiet storm brewing in her chest.
Lucien’s voice dripped with sarcasm. “What, you’re not seriously thinking of claiming that kid, are you?”
Allen, overhearing, yanked off his oxygen mask, his finger jabbing toward Alden with trembling fury. “I won’t acknowledge that child! If you want to, go right ahead, but don’t you dare

drag that mess into the Graves family!”

Alden’s face darkened, his voice low and strained. “I’m going up to see her.”
Allen waved him off dismissively. “Zane, you all head home. Lucien’s here–that’s enough. Kaia, you go rest too. You barely slept last night.”
Right now, Allen could only stomach the sight of his youngest
son.
Having no kids was one thing, but bringing a bastard in and expecting the Graves family to raise it? Unthinkable.
The scandal hit Allen hard.
He’d always protected his family’s reputation fiercely, keeping their private matters out of the public eye. If this news leaked, it would become a media circus.
Lucien shot Zane a pointed look. Zane sighed, relenting, “Alright, Dad, rest up. Lucien, call me if anything happens.
“Kaia, you’ve been through a lot. Why don’t you come back with
me?”
Kaia shook her head gently. “Thanks, Zane, but I’ll stay at the hospital for a bit.”

Once Zane left, Lucien tried to soothe his father.

“Don’t let this get to you, Dad. What’s done is done. Your grandson might be a disappointment, and who knows, he might get cheated even more in the future, but I promise you, I won’t.”
Allen let out a weary sigh, half–exasperated.
Kaia bit back a smile, equally bemused.
Allen suddenly regretted his earlier thoughts. If he could, he’d kick Lucien out of the hospital too.

Alden pushed open the door to Luna’s room. Her eyes lit up the moment she saw him, as if he were her last lifeline.
“Alden, you came,” she whispered, her voice trembling with hope.
!
She reached for his hand, desperate, but he jerked away, his face hard with revulsion.
Right now, Alden couldn’t stand being in the same room with her.
If they weren’t still legally married, if she wasn’t carrying a child, he wouldn’t have bothered coming up at all.

“What else do you have to say?” he snapped. “I said everything I needed to at the manor.”
Luna’s tears spilled over, her voice breaking with remorse. “Alden, I know I messed up. But don’t you think you also bear some responsibility for my mistakes?
“When Uncle Lucien kicked me out of the country, I was all alone abroad. You barely checked on me. I made a mistake any woman might make. I never meant to get pregnant…
“When I found out, I was terrified. I didn’t know how to face it. But Alden, you grew colder and colder, so I thought the child might win back your love.
“I swear, Alden, it was just that one time. I never strayed again!”
Alden let out a bitter laugh, his voice sharp with disdain. “So you are telling me that somehow I’m the one to blame?
“My parents raised you like their own. Did you think about how they’d feel when you cheated?
“You’ve lived a life of luxury on my family’s dime all these years. Is this how you repay them?
“You were the one who begged for this marriage, weren’t you? And now after all that, you have the nerve to cheat and act like you’re the victim?”

Alden towered over her, staring down at Luna as she sobbed, her face a mess of tears. Once, he’d loved her fiercely; now, that love had curdled into disgust.
“Get rid of the child. I won’t acknowledge it–neither will the Graves family.
“Tomorrow, my lawyer will bring the divorce papers. We’re done.”
Luna’s world crumbled, despair swallowing her whole.
Was there no chance at all to salvage this?
How could she face divorce?
She’d held every advantage, yet somehow ended up the loser.
Luna’s mind raced, replaying every step that led her here.
How did it come to this?
Then a face flashed in her mind–striking, elegant, untouchable.
It was her. This was all Kaia’s doing!
The sharp sound of applause snapped Luna back to reality. She looked up to see Kaia standing before her, a faint, mocking smile on her lips.

“Bravo, Luna,” Kaia said, her voice dripping with irony.
“I never thought I’d see you brought so low.”

Luna’s eyes blazed, red with fury, as she glared at the woman in front of her. “You! Kaia, it’s all you! You orchestrated this whole thing! You’re the reason I’m in this mess!”
Her voice shook with venom, her hatred so intense she could’ve torn Kaia apart.
Kaia’s smile didn’t falter, cool and unruffled. “Oh, getting worked up already?”
Her gaze turned icy, sharp as a blade. “Luna, I thought you’d be a tougher opponent. Turns out, you’re nothing special.”
She pulled a chair closer and sat down, her voice low and deliberate. “What if I told you I saw this day coming the moment you married Alden? Would that surprise you?”
Kaia leaned forward, her eyes glinting with cold satisfaction. “You really didn’t see it, did you? From the very beginning… this was all part of my revenge.”
