Chapter 40 Emergency Trouble

Calling off the wedding…She needed to tell Allen herself, face-to-face.

[What? Has she lost her damn mind? Hang tight. I’m sending a backup now!]

Standing at the window, Kaia scowled at the two bodyguards

below.

She tried calling Tobias, her deadbeat dad. He actually hung up on her.

Frustrated, Kaia tried Sue, but unfortunately, no one answered.

Then she heard Kimberly outside her door, loud enough to make sure Kaia heard every smug syllable. “Ugh, give it a rest with the phone calls. Dad said you’re not going anywhere.”

She continued. “What’s even wrong with Alden, huh? You think you’ll do better? You should be grateful. Don’t be stupid and end up alone.”

Kaia had long learned not to waste her breath on fools.

She’d heard Kimberly’s brand of moronic pronouncements more times than she could count.

When Kaia didn’t respond, Kimberly smirked, assuming she’d reduced her to tears, and flounced off.

Today is far too lovely to waste. I’ve got friends to meet.

Mom is right. Why try to stop Kaia’s wedding when I can just watch her ruin her own life? Way more satisfying.
