“He’s not answering my calls or replying to my texts,” Vanessa

choked out.

“I thought I’d been good to him. This morning, I even sent him a message… only to realize he’d blocked me.”

Kaia took a deep breath, keeping her tone calm but firm.

“It’s over. Let it go, Vanessa. Honestly, he’s not worth your time. If someone treats you like that, you don’t hold on–you walk away.”

“But…” Vanessa bit her lip, hesitation written all over her face. “I want the suit back. The one I bought him. It cost me fifty thousand.”

She paused, then added quickly, “He can keep the shoes, though. He’s worn them already.”

Kaia flicked her forehead lightly. “You’re such a lovesick fool. Dropping fifty grand on a guy that fast?”

Vanessa gave a sheepish smile. “I messed up, Kaia.”

Kaia’s expression softened,

“Then go ask for it back. Just text him. Be direct. And if he refuses, tell him you’ll bring it up with Mr. Miller. If this goes

public, he’s the one who’ll lose face–not you.”

Vanessa hesitated. “Wouldn’t that be… a little too much?”

Kaia raised an eyebrow. “Do you want your fifty grand back or

not?”

“…Yes! I’ll message him!”

Then Kaia asked gently, “You two didn’t… go too far, right?”

Vanessa’s cheeks flushed. “We just kissed a little.”

Kaia let out a sigh of relief.

“Good. Guys like him can’t be trusted. They’re after one thing- or your money. And who knows what else they’re bringing with them. Don’t let emotions cloud your judgment next time.”

Vanessa nodded obediently. “I know. Lesson learned.”

Thankfully, things hadn’t gone further. Jerry was clearly just another shameless player–and bold enough to mess around with someone in the same office, no less,

That evening, Kaia received a text from Vanessa: [Kaia, thank you! I got the suit back. Returning it tomorrow!]

Kaia replied with a grin: [Good, Return it. And next time, don’t waste a single cent on losers.]

Vanessa answered right away: [Okay. Love you!]

“Stop looking at your phone, honey. Look at me!” Lucien hugged Kaia from behind, sounding a bit jealous.

Kaia turned around to face him. “Lucien, you’re so clingy.”

“Just to you,” he said.

Kaia gave him a gentle kiss on the lips.

The desire in Lucien’s eyes grew stronger as he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss.

He always kissed deeply, as if trying to numb her tongue.

Lost in the kiss, all she could feel was their intertwined breaths.

Gasping for air, they were reluctant to part.

Lucien remembered the doctor’s advice.

Kaia, unable to take it anymore, said, “We can do it today, right?”

Lucien said, “No, Once a week. It’s not good for the babies if it’s too frequent.”

What a self–controlled and endearing man.

She watched him walk barefoot into the bathroom to cool off.

*******

One afternoon, Alyssa came by to visit Kaia.

As Kaia casually shared a few things, Alyssa’s jaw dropped in disbelief.

And then–like a lightbulb flipping on–realization struck her.

“No wonder! Kaia, I can’t believe I missed all the signs before!”

Kaia frowned slightly. “What signs?”

Alyssa leaned in, eyes wide. “Okay, do you remember the first time you came over to our house? You scarfed down a whole plate of greens and fish.”

Kaia blinked. “Vaguely…”

“I found out later you’re allergic to half the stuff on that table. But you still ate it. After that, though, every single time you came over, there was always fish. I was even jealous–I thought the cook kept remembering your favorite dishes.”

She pointed dramatically. “It must’ve been Uncle Lucien!”

Kaia raised an eyebrow. “Seriously?”

“I’m sure of it!” Alyssa said, smacking her palm with her fist.

“And–oh! Remember when you got engaged to that guy? Uncle Lucien got so drunk that night. He just sat in the garden by himself for hours, staring into space. I didn’t even dare talk to him! Then he disappeared abroad the next day!”

Kaia’s lips parted slightly, stunned into silence.

“And another thing—” Alyssa continued, completely on a roll now, “he never liked Luna. I always thought he just had good judgment, but now I get it!

“Every time Luna picked on me, Uncle Lucien would help me out or speak up for me. He wasn’t just taking my side–he was taking yours!”

Kaia was left speechless.

Stunned for a moment, she said, “Alyssa, were there really that many details?”

Alyssa took out her phone and tapped on Lucien’s profile picture. “Look, isn’t his nickname an abbreviation of your names?”

At that moment, Alyssa felt like a genius.

She just regretted not noticing these tell–tale signs earlier.

Kaia felt a sweet–and–sour feeling in her heart. “Alright, alright.

I know how much he likes me.”

Alyssa blinked. “What about you?”

Kaia smiled, “Of course, I love him too.”

It wasn’t just a touch of emotion; it was deep–seated love.

*****

The next day at Vanguard Law Firm, Kaia wanted to check in on Vanessa but learned from Warren that she had taken a leave of

absence.

Worried, Kaia sent her a message—but got no reply.

She assumed Vanessa might just need some space to recover from the breakup.

But after an entire week with no word from her, Kaia’s concern deepened. She headed to the HR department to ask about Vanessa’s situation.
