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
Kaia sat down, waiting for Beau's wrath to rain down on her hard, she couldn't even look him in the eye. Beau had shut the door in Matt's face, telling him his wife would be resigning effective immediately. Kaia was not going to agree with him of course, but she needed him to stay calm first. It would take her begging him the only way she knew how and she smiled at the naughty thoughts going through her mind. "Now is not the time to be smiling Kaia, that pervert of a man is the most disrespectful person I've ever come across.""Do you find me attractive Beau?" The question startled Beau and he immediately stopped his pacing, wondering why she was asking this question, but without a second thought he nodded his head, not wanting to ruin what he was trying to do to fix their marriage. "Then why don't you think other men might see exactly what you see?" Beau thought about what she had just said, truthfully realizing he had never thought about what Kaia had just made him aware of. The lov
The next morning Kaia woke up tired as hell, but she needed to get Beau to get back and try to salvage whatever he could from his father's company. "Babe, you need to get back home and get to work. You can't hide here any longer!"Beau knew she was right but he did not have the heart to leave her and he was too scared to ask her to come with back with him, since she seemed to comfortable in this little heaven she had created for herself and Luna. He sighed and rolled to his side so he could look her straight in the eye, "I'm not leaving you Kaia Carson Navarro, I need you beside me if I have any chance of getting through all of this madness."Madness? What he was saying was the real madness. "Beau, you can't live here while things go to shit on the other side. I will not let you give up on the things you've worked so hard for." Beay might not have been worried about the hotel chains before but it would hurt his businesses so much it would take him at least a year or two to recover. Ye
Kaia slid into the car Beau had called to pick them up, feeling too tired to even talk. Luna, being the daddy’s girl she was turning into, was yet again sleeping on her father’s chest, who slid in right beside Kaia, looking like the long flight had not happened. Kaia summed it up to the fact that he usually made these long trips several times in a week, he had gotten used to it. She looked at him with a sleepy smile and he gave her back a tiny smile, feeling bad for how tired she looked.“Sleep my love, I will wake you up once we get to the house. I need to start making phone calls anyways and I do not want to bore you.” He was being weird, she thought to herself, but his offer for a short nap through the long journey they were about to take back to their apartment. “Okay baby, don’t work too hard.”He put Luna comfortably into her card seat and made sure Kaia was fast asleep before he made his phone call. He had been waiting too long to give Kaia the surprise he had been working hard
