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.

Unbeknownst to her, a sleek Maybach loomed in the shadows, its owner observing her every move.

Lucien checked his Rolex and muttered, “Just got home and off she goes again?”

Once Kaia reached her cozy 1076–square–foot apartment, she sighed in relief.

She checked her bank account balance–almost enough to buy the place outright.

Just a few more paychecks to independence.

After college, Kaia had made it a point to live on her own,

renting apartments.

Tobias had always footed the bill for her tuition, but ever since she turned 18, she was eager to break free from the Domont family.

If I want to end this engagement with Alden, I’ll have to burn bridges with my dad.

At 5 p.m., Kaia walked out of the courthouse.

She looked every bit the sharp lawyer in her sleek black suit.

She’d just seen her client off when her phone rang. It was

Tobias.

“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.
