Kaia stood at the villa gate, refreshing her Uber app, waiting for a driver.

The villa was tucked away, far from downtown.

It took ten minutes before she got a ride and slipped into the backseat.

“Kaia, bring Alden home for dinner tonight. Sally’s gone all out and made your favorite dishes. Be back early, you hear?”

Kaia ended the call with a disdainful scoff.

She had zero intention of reaching out to Alden, so she decided

to head home and confront the situation head–on.

“Ms. Domont, you’re back,” said Sue West, an elderly family

servant.
