Lucien’s voice was hoarse. “Kaia, how much longer will it take for you to fully trust me? To truly see me as someone you can rely on?”

His words trembled at the end—and Kaia heard it. It pierced straight through her.

But he pulled away. “There’s nothing to talk about.”

And with that, he turned and walked upstairs.
