Those words-“he’s married“-felt like a death sentence.

The stranger she’d slept with was already married!

She tried to run, but the two paparazzi surrounded her. The man from inside emerged casually. “What’s all this commotion?”

“Mr. Griffin, this lady just came out of your room with her clothes messed up. Are you two having an affair?”

Jack clicked his tongue twice. “Nope. Never seen her before in my life. Alright, show’s over, folks.”

After finishing her eavesdropping at the peephole, Kaia turned around and crashed straight into a human wall behind her.

“You…” she started, then stopped short.

Lucien’s voice was casual. “What were you looking at?”

“Nothing. It’s nothing,” she stammered.

She didn’t notice the slight smile playing at the corners of Lucien’s lips.

“Lucien, maybe we should wait before going out there.”

The hallway was chaos–paparazzi everywhere, crowds of

onlookers. If she walked out of this room with Lucien right now, those cameras would definitely be pointing straight at them.

“Don’t worry,” Lucien said gently. “No one dares photograph me. I’ve already sent people to clear the area.”

Kaia looked down, lost in thought. Could it be that Kimberly was the one who drugged him?

“Mom, what do I do? They definitely got pictures of my face!” Kimberly’s voice was panicked and furious.

“I should just go throw myself in the river!” she wailed.

Sally stared at her useless daughter, feeling a familiar headache coming on. But what choice did she have? This was her only child.

If only she’d been able to give Tobias more children, he wouldn’t treat her this way. If she’d had a son, Tobias‘ entire company would belong to her boy someday. But instead, she’d only managed to have a daughter.

“Stop being so dramatic,” Sally snapped. “I told you to keep your cool. How did Jack get a keycard to your room anyway?”

Sally had clearly arranged for a server to slip something into Lucien’s drink and then have Kimberly watch as the server helped him to the room.

So how did it end up with Kimberly waiting alone in the room, and the person who walked in with the key card turned out to be

a married man?

Kimberly had no idea either. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to help escort him. She just couldn’t bring herself to tell Sally about Lucien’s obvious disgust toward her. Even in front of Sally, she refused to admit that she’d lost to Kaia.

“Mom, I was afraid he’d get suspicious, so I went in first to wait for him.

“But who knew Jack would come in and pin me to the bed? The lights were off. I thought it was him…”

Kimberly was telling the truth. She’d actually thought that even someone as cold and controlled as Lucien would become desperate once drugged, just like any other man. She’d even fantasized about what Kaia’s face would look like when she found out. The thought alone had thrilled her.

But when the lights came on afterward, Kimberly’s fantasy crumbled.

After hearing Kimberly’s explanation, Sally felt even more agitated. “Fine. Did you take anything?”

Sally’s sharp eyes narrowed dangerously. “Please tell me you at least took the morning–after pill!”

Sally felt a headache coming on. “I’ll have someone pick it up right now. You need to take it immediately!”

Kimberly’s reputation was already ruined. They couldn’t afford to have a baby on top of it! That would be the end of everything!

“Okay,” Kimberly’s voice cracked with unshed tears. “Mom, what about those paparazzi?”

“I’ll handle them. Don’t worry about any of this. Just keep your mouth shut about the whole thing and deny everything!”

As for Jack, Kimberly knew he wouldn’t go running his mouth about what happened either.

But this whole situation felt suspicious to her like someone had set her up deliberately.

“Mr. Graves, those paparazzi you had contact last night are asking if they should send you the photos first,” Frank reported.

Lucien’s expression remained stone–cold. “Don’t bother sending them to me. Tell them to post everything online directly. And Frank? Let them know I’ve got their backs–they can publish whatever they want.”

Frank paused for a moment. “Understood, sir.”

It was clear that Kimberly had pushed Lucien to his breaking point this time. Frank wondered how much of her reputation would survive this mess.

Lucien didn’t even raise an eyebrow. Why should he show mercy to a woman who dared to scheme against him?

Still, he had to admit that yesterday’s chaos had finally given him the chance to kiss Kaia.

*****

Kaia’s mind had been in a fog ever since she returned from the banquet last night.

Her phone buzzed with a message from Kayla: [Kaia, why did you guys leave early yesterday?]

The two had hit it off immediately and exchanged contact information. Kaia stared at the screen, her ears burning with embarrassment.

Yesterday, she had waited for the venue to clear out before following Lucien’s lead and leaving. During the entire ride home, she couldn’t bring herself to look at him even once.

She had never felt so nervous and on edge as she did yesterday. She had kissed her best friend’s uncle! No matter how many

times she brushed her teeth that night, she could still taste him on her lips.

She typed back: [Kayla, I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so I left early.]

Kayla responded enthusiastically: [Oh okay! When I wrap up filming, let’s grab dinner together!]

Kaia smiled and replied: [Sounds good.]

Having a celebrity friend was definitely a new and exciting experience.

When Kaia headed downstairs for lunch at noon, she spotted that familiar figure from across the room. Her face darkened immediately.

“Kaia, I’m telling you this place has great food, and they’re doing fifty percent off for their grand opening,” Vanessa was saying.

Before Vanessa could finish, Kaia cut her off, “Vanessa, go ahead and grab us a table. I’ll buy some water and be right there. What do you guys want to drink?”

After sending them away, Kaia watched Alden approach her directly.

“Alden, what is it?”
