Lawrence Blackwell had always been a weak man, allowing his wife to call the shots and embarrass him in public. Beau wasn't surprised Patricia had manipulated him into making such a significant financial decision without a second thought. His relationship with Tanya Blackwell had been planned, and during their last encounter, they had agreed not to see each other anymore.It was quite obvious that Tanya was only going along with Patricia's plan to please her father, and her father, in turn, was trying to please Patricia, thinking it was the best course of action. Beau knew his mother well; she was the most manipulative woman he had known in his whole life. The way she raised him had influenced him to adopt some of her cutthroat business tactics. Even with an understanding of the ruthless nature of business, Patricia's actions seemed absurd.Beau had seen Kaia's intelligence ever since she first got to his company and he had been convinced of her love and passion for animation and marke
The morning sunlight gently peeked through the curtains, casting a warm glow on the tangled bodies of Kaia and Beau. As they lay intertwined in the aftermath of their passionate night, Beau couldn't help but marvel at the woman beside him. The love and connection they shared transcended the physical, creating a bond that seemed to grow stronger with each passing day.Kaia stirred, her eyes fluttering open to meet Beau's adoring gaze. There was a shared understanding between them, a silent acknowledgment of the love that bound them together. Beau traced a gentle finger along Kaia's cheek, savoring the tender moment they found themselves in."Good morning, Mrs. Navarro," Beau whispered, his voice a soft caress.Kaia smiled, a radiant expression that mirrored the happiness in her heart. "Good morning, Mr. Navarro. Last night was... incredible."Before Beau could bring up his offer from last night, a knock came and with it Luna's soft cooing. Well, that was the end of their alone time. Kaia
Kaia had immediately packed her things and taken Luna out of that apartment, she could not take the betrayal and hurt, she needed to get away from both Beau and Melissa. So she got a cab and booked a room on her way into town. She watched Luna try her best to sing along to the cartoons on her iPad and she felt tears rush down her face and at that instance Luna turned to look at her, smiling a huge toothy smile. This was not what she had imagined for her beautiful child, she would never want her to grow up without a father. She gave her daughter a wobbly smile as she felt more tears rush to her eyes. Beau did not even try to stop them from leaving, he had just stood at the door, not moving even a single muscle. Kaia was deeply hurt, she had believed in their love, had believed they could be together forever. Her phone rung and as she noticed name on the screen, her anger resurfaced. She never ever wanted to be in the same room as him, never even wanted to see him. But she had to sham
Beau stood in his office, surrounded by the remnants of the turmoil that had unfolded. The weight of his misplaced trust and the consequences of his actions bore heavily on him. He couldn't believe how he had let Patricia's manipulations cloud his judgment.As Kaia left the office, he felt a profound sense of loss. The realization of the damage caused by his lack of faith in their relationship hit him hard. He had jeopardized the love they had built together, and now Kaia was gone.Sinking into his chair, Beau replayed the events in his mind. Patricia's words echoed, mocking his momentary blindness. He couldn't comprehend how he had allowed himself to doubt Kaia, the woman he loved. Regret gnawed at him, regret for not standing by her side when she needed him the most.His phone buzzed with a message from Kaia containing the evidence that vindicated her. Opening the laptop she had left behind, he stared at the transactions Mike had orchestrated. A mixture of anger and frustration welle
Beau had not been in the best of mood for days now. He had tried to call Kaia, tried texting her, tried emailing her and none of these were going through. Sure, she was angry and hurting but he had not thought she'd leave for good. He missed his family so much he felt like he couldn't go on alone. He had gotten in touch with Jenny and Kim, hoping to the heavens that Kaia would have at least told her best friend where she was going, but she sweared she knew nothing about her whereabouts. He was worried sick about them but he knew he had to work hard to resolve everything so she could come back to a less dramatic atmosphere. Kaia was a great mother but she had a lot of struggles and with everything that happened, he wondered if she was coping with everything and Luna on top of that. Why had he hurt that momentary lapse of judgement? He would not be waking up alone in his bed right now, he would be making Luna her breakfast oatmeal right now as Kaia and her fought to get her clean for t
Kaia watched Luna and felt a strong tug to her heart strings. These last three months had been so hard for her and trying to parent alone had proved a challenge as well but Kaia had soldiered on. But everytime she looked at Luna, she saw a spitting image of Beau and she felt like crying. Sometimes she felt herself lose the will to stay away from him and she would make up her mind to go back to him then in the morning she would remember how he had shuttered her belief in love.As she sat at her table trying hard to finish a project she had started for a small local company she looked at Luna again, who was so concentrated on Cocomelon. Kaia laughed as Luna shot up to dance to the song she vaguely remembered had been playing a few hours ago. "Lulu, let's go out for lunch my love." At the sound of her mother's voice, Luna ran to her mother with a huge smile with her arms raised, which Kaia knew was a plea to be picked up. Luna was a demanding child, she always needed to cuddled or else s
"Oh come on Mrs. Navarro, I don't bite," Beau said with amusement dancing in his face at the distance Kaia had decided to keep between the two of the them. He knew why she had decided to keep away from him because his own body had started reacting the moment he had seen him through the restaurant window, looking sexy as hell in simple jeans and a messy bun to top off her whole look.Kaia blushed at his words as she tried all she could not to look him in the eye, her fear being that she would act on how hot her body was at the thought of being alone with her husband again. They needed to talk in all seriousness and Kaia was determined not to let him distract her. "You're supposed to be taking care of the companies Beau!" His smile dropped instantly and he proceeded to run his fingers through his hair, a habit he seemed to be taking up more and more."I don't care about that anymore Kaia, I need you by my side," he inhaled sharply as he took the decision to move closer to her. They had b
In the morning Kaia was startled out of her sleep by little fingers on her face. She did not remember when last she had fallen asleep so peacefully and her bedside clock said it was 10 o’clock. She felt herself panic but to her relief, found her beautiful husband standing by the bed with a tray full of food. “You looked so peaceful, so Lulu and I decided to make you breakfast. Well, Lulu ate all the pancakes but I tried to save you some!” Kaia watched his playful stance and the bright smile on his face. At that moment, she knew she wanted nothing but to see that beautiful smile every day of her life. Luna watched the exchange between her parents quietly and noticing she was not getting the attention she was used to, she let out a string of baby babble. “I’m sorry angel, mommy’s not looking at you? No morning cuddles today? That’s daddy’s fault.”Beau sat down close to his two favorite people and gently put the food down on the on the bedside table. “Hey, don’t put all this on me, I co
