Chapter 33 Do It The Hard Way

“I-I’ll walk!” she squeaked, practically tripping over her own

“Ouch…”

Rubbing her forehead, Kaia secretly glared at him.

Lucien smirked. “Hurts? Good. Maybe it’ll knock some sense into you next time you decide to sneak into places like this.”

Kaia bristled. “I’m an adult. It’s a bar, not a drug den.”

Lucien’s voice dipped dangerously. “Come again?”

Though his tone held no overt threat, Kaia’s back broke out in a cold sweat.

She forced a laugh. “I said-I messed up. I get it.”

“Get in the car.”

Lucien took the back seat, and Kaia followed.

“Chris, step out for a moment.”

The driver obediently exited, leaving them alone.

Lucien didn’t waste time. “Kaia. So-are you into college boys now? Nineteen? Seriously?”

Kaia’s lips parted in shock. “What? No! I don’t like him. I was just….. curious, okay?”

“Curious about what, exactly?”

Lucien leaned in, closing the distance. “You’re getting married in five days.”

Kaia rolled her eyes internally. “We already broke up.”

Lucien eased back, feigning nonchalance. “Oh? Funny. My father still thinks he needs to find the perfect tie for your

wedding.”
