CHAPTER 8

~Kaia’s POV~

Later that night, I stood by the large window in my bedroom, staring out at the city lights as I tried to quiet my restless mind. Blaze’s words kept replaying in my head, his calm, arrogant declaration that I should work “where he could see me,” echoed in my mind.

The sheer nerve of him.

I crossed my arms, frowning as the memory of his smirk surfaced. This wasn’t just a job anymore—it was a challenge. It was a test of willpower.

And if Blaze thought I’d roll over and play the obedient little assistant, he was in for a rude awakening.

For now, though, I’d play his game. But I’d play it my way.

Movement below caught my attention, and I peered down to see Blaze’s sleek car pulling into the driveway.

My heart gave an involuntary jolt as I watched him step out, his broad shoulders silhouetted in the glow of the headlights.

I wasn’t sure what I’d expected. Maybe that he’d come upstairs, knock on my door, and issue another round of commands. Maybe even

    **************CHAPTER 7~Kaia’s POV~My eyes widened as I scanned the document Blaze had pushed across the desk. It was a detailed merger proposal—complex, high-stakes, and riddled with financial projections that would challenge even the most seasoned analysts.But that wasn’t what shocked me.The name of the company stood out like a beacon on the first page. Caldwell Enterprises.My heart stuttered, and I glanced up at Blaze, who was now lounging back in his chair with that infuriating smirk.“This is…” I trailed off, trying to keep my voice steady.Blaze’s gaze sharpened. “A merger proposal,” he said smoothly. “Caldwell Enterprises approached us last month. Their CEO is eager to partner with Apex Global. I want you to evaluate it, assess its viability, and draft a preliminary report by the end of the day.”I bit the inside of my cheek, my emotions whirling. He knew. He had to know. There was no way this wasn’t intentional.Shawn Caldwell’s name wasn’t explicitly on the document, bu

    **************CHAPTER 10~Kaia’s POV~How do you explain to your two best friends that you got married before your wedding day—and to a complete stranger, no less?The incredulous stares from Tiffany and Bethany made my skin prickle. Bethany’s arms were still crossed, her policewoman pose in full effect, while Tiffany leaned forward, eyes wide, waiting for an explanation.“I’m waiting, Kaia,” Tiffany said, her tone teetering between frustration and disbelief.I sighed, rubbing my temples. “Okay, look. It’s not as awful as it sounds.” “Not as awful as it sounds?” Bethany's voice lacked warmth. “Yeah. We got married on the night of my bachelorette party,” I blurted out. Only then did I realize just how truly awful it sounded."You have just informed us that you married a man you barely knew, even before your wedding day, and then neglected to inform us."Tiffany leaned back with a loud scoff. “Who even does that? Is this some kind of post-breakup rebound thing? Because, Kaia, this is…

This evening?”Blaze didn’t even flinch, his hands casually gripping the wheel as he steered the car. “That’s correct but not this evening. Tomorrow. My granduncle’s 70th birthday celebration.”I gaped at him. “And you dragged me away from my apartment tonight for a dinner happening tomorrow? Are you serious?”Blaze glanced at me briefly, his lips curling into that infuriating smirk. “Yes. You need a fitting tonight. Your dress must be tailored and ready for the event. Impressions matter.”I rolled my eyes, sinking back into my seat. “This is ridiculous.”“Perhaps.” His tone was maddeningly calm. “But it’s necessary.”I crossed my arms, my jaw tightening. “Why do I even have to go? Couldn’t you just tell them I’m busy or something?”Blaze’s smirk faded, replaced by a steely expression that sent a shiver down my spine. “My family expects to meet my wife. They insist on introducing my

The revelation was like a slap, but I quickly schooled my expression, unwilling to give Shawn the satisfaction of seeing me falter.Turning to Blaze, I searched his face for an explanation. He didn’t look surprised, nor did he bother offering me any clarification. Instead, his broke the ice, “Half-brother,” Blaze corrected. “And whoever she is with… I doubt it is any of your business.”Shawn’s gaze darkened. “Brother, it is my business. She called off our wedding without any reason, and now—”Without any reason? His words snapped something inside me. Anger surged through me, my heart pounding as memories of his betrayal flashed in my mind.My lips curled into a venomous smile as I stepped forward, my voice steady but laced with fury. Since Shawn wanted to embarrass me, he should not blame me for retaliating.“You should have thought about that before going balls deep in

    **************CHAPTER 13~Kaia’s POV~At the mention of that phrase, it struck me. I gasped softly, the memory surfacing after years buried in the recesses of my mind. It was a rainy afternoon. A man in a suit flustered, walked into the shop, his expression tight with frustration.“You were a student at the time,” he said, his smile widening slightly as he saw my bewilderment. “Working part-time at a coffee shop near the university.”“I remember,” I said softly. “You… you lost your wallet, didn’t you? And your phone was in your car.”The granduncle chuckled, leaning back in his chair. “That’s right. A rather embarrassing situation for me. But you were kind enough to pay for my snacks and even offered me your phone to make a call.”I felt the heat rise in my cheeks as I glanced at Blaze, who stared at me with disbelief and curiosity.“You refused to use my phone,” I continued, meeting the granduncle’s amused gaze. “You said it was your mistake and that you’d wait for your driver to c

    **************CHAPTER 14~Kaia’s POV~The woman stepped into view, her movements fluid like she owned every inch of space she occupied. Her sharp features were framed by perfectly styled auburn waves, her cream gown clinging to her figure in a way that was as bold as her confident smile.“Natalie Price,” Blaze said evenly, his tone giving away none of the tension I could feel radiating off him.“Blaze,” she cooed, her voice dripping with familiarity as her lips curved into a smile that was far too pleased to see him. “I was wondering if you’d show up tonight.”My stomach churned. There was something about the way she said his name, her tone laced with something intimate, that made my skin crawl.“I’m here, as you can see,” Blaze replied, his voice calm, his stance unreadable.But Natalie wasn’t done. She closed the distance between them, her gaze flicking briefly to me before dismissing me entirely. “I’m surprised you didn’t come find me sooner,” she said, her fingers brushing lightl

The cool night air would do me some good—anything to clear the boiling frustration in my chest.I hadn’t even reached the doors when I bumped into someone, the impact spilling a glass of wine all over his suit.“Oh no, I’m so sorry!” I blurted, panic and mortification filling my voice.The man stepped back, looking down at the stain with a slightly amused expression. He was tall and broad-shouldered, and his dark hair was neatly styled. His sharp suit, now splattered with red wine, was clearly expensive.“It’s fine,” he assured me calmly. His gaze met mine, and I caught the faintest hint of a smile playing on his lips. “Though I think this makes us even. You look like you could use a drink.”“I—” I hesitated, unsure how to respond.“For spilling my drink,” he continued, the smile widening slightly, “you at least owe me something. And judging by the

    **************CHAPTER 16~Kaia’s POV~Blaze’s lips on mine was a force I wasn’t prepared for. My mind screamed at me to pull back, to push him away, but my body betrayed me, melting against his touch. The softness of those lips made me wish for more.When I finally managed to snap out of the haze, I tore myself away, my breath coming in shallow gasps as I stared at him, wide-eyed. “What the hell was that?” I managed, my voice shaky with anger and something I didn’t want to name. He didn’t answer but kept his piercing gaze fixed on me, his expression unreadable. I had soon forgotten we had company. My entire attention was fixed on Blaze and believe me, he loved it. Before I could react further, his hand shot out, catching my wrist as I instinctively stepped back. “Time to go home,” Blaze muttered in a commanding tone. Too stunned to argue, I let him lead me out of the party. My mind whirled, my heart pounding, the memory of his lips against mine refusing to fade. The dri

L’Étoile was known for its exclusivity—the type of place where only the city’s elite dined.Fitting, considering Shyne was nothing if not a pretentious, spoiled brat.I spotted her immediately. She was seated near the floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping delicately on a glass of red wine, dressed in a sleek, overpriced designer outfit that screamed money.She looked up as I approached, a slow, calculating smile spreading across her face.“Kaia.” She gestured to the seat across from her. “I was beginning to think you wouldn’t come.”I slid into the seat, crossing my legs smoothly. “And miss this little performance of yours? Not a chance.”Her lips twitched in amusement. “Always so feisty.”I arched a brow. “Cut to the chase, Shyne. I have better things to do.”She took another slow sip of her wine, as if savoring t

    **************CHAPTER 94~Kaia’s POV~The first thing I noticed when I woke up was the empty space beside me. Blaze was gone.I frowned, shifting slightly in bed, my body still warm from where he had been. The sheets were slightly wrinkled, the faint scent of him lingering in the air. Damn him. Why did he have to smell so good?Sitting up, I ran a hand through my hair, preparing myself to start the day when something caught my eye—a small folded note on the pillow next to me.I blinked.Slowly, I reached for it, my heartbeat picking up."Good morning, wifey. Since I wasn’t there to see your face when you woke up, I figured I’d leave you with something almost as charming as me. Sleep well? Try not to miss me too much. I’ll be back soon. - Blaze"My lips parted.A warmth spread through my chest, and before I could stop myself, I was blushing.God, what was wrong with me?I tossed the note onto the bedside table, shaking my head. It was just Blaze being a smug jerk, playing his role. No

"Thanks."I raised a brow. "What? No biting comment? No threat to murder me in my sleep?"She sighed, finally glancing up at me. "I’m too tired for your bullshit, Blaze."I smirked. "That’s a first."Kaia rolled her eyes but didn’t argue. Instead, she shifted slightly, attempting to sit up, but the moment she moved her ankle, she hissed.I was beside her in an instant. Closer than I should have been.Her breath hitched as I reached forward, grabbing the ice pack and pressing it gently against her ankle.Kaia stiffened, her gaze flickering to mine.That tension was back—thick, stifling.I could feel the warmth radiating off her skin, and I could see how her chest rose and fell just a little too fast.Neither of us spoke.My hand was stil

    **************CHAPTER 92~Blaze’s POV~With careful steps, I carried Kaia out of the bathroom and into the bedroom, placing her gently on the bed. She was still dripping wet, her skin flushed from the heat of the shower—or maybe from sheer mortification.The second I set her down, she yanked the covers over herself, wrapping the blanket around her like a damn cocoon. Her eyes burned with pure humiliation."Never," she muttered through gritted teeth, "do that again."I smirked, crossing my arms. "Then stop getting yourself into trouble."Her glare could have set me on fire.This was going to be fun.Kaia tried to shift under the blanket, but the moment she moved her injured ankle, a sharp hiss of pain escaped her lips.I immediately crouched beside the bed, my smirk fading. "Stop moving before you make it worse."Kaia let out a frustrated groan, throwing her head back against the pillow. "This is ridiculous. It’s just a small sprain."I arched a brow. "You sure about that?""Yes," she

    **************CHAPTER 91~Blaze’s POV~The moment I stepped into the house, I was greeted by chaos.Kaia stood in the middle of the living room, arms crossed tightly over her chest, her jaw clenched as she glared at me. Beside her, Grandma looked absolutely thrilled, as if she had just witnessed the most romantic gesture of the century.And then—the tampons.Piles and piles of tampons stacked neatly by the entrance, looking like some kind of twisted shrine to female hygiene.I bit back a grin as I took off my jacket, strolling casually inside. "Ah, I see my surprise was delivered."Kaia’s eyes narrowed dangerously."What the actual hell, Blaze?" she hissed.Grandma, completely ignoring the tension, sighed dreamily, "Oh, Blaze, sweetheart, this is so thoughtful of you. A husband who cares about his wife’s cycle is a husband who cares for her heart."Kaia’s death glare intensified. "Blaze does not care about my—my cycle, Grandma!" she snapped. "He’s an idiot!"I smirked, stepping closer

    **************CHAPTER 90~Blaze’s POV~I leaned back in my office chair, twirling my pen between my fingers, my mind still replaying last night’s conversation with Kaia.A whole month.A whole damn month of pretending we were happily trying for a child.I exhaled sharply, rubbing my temple. If there was one thing I knew about Grandma, it was that she never backed down. She was relentless, which meant we had to be smarter.Which brought me to my brilliant plan.I pulled out my phone and dialed the nearest pharmacy.“Good afternoon, sir. How may I assist you?”“Yes,” I said smoothly. “I need to place an order for tampons.”There was a brief pause on the other end.“Uh, of course, sir. Do you have a specific brand or type in mind?”I frowned. “Uh… no. Just… give me all of them.”Another silence.“All… of them?”“Yes. Every single type of tampon you have.”The person on the other end coughed awkwardly. “Um, sir, are you sure?”I smirked. “Absolutely. My wife—Mrs. Kaia Black—wants to try

    **************CHAPTER 89~Kaia’s POV~I shut the bedroom door behind me, exhaling sharply as I turned to face Blaze. “She’s lost her damn mind,” I muttered.Blaze sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. “You think?”I crossed my arms. “A whole month? Do you have any idea what that means?”His lips twitched. “That she’s giving us ample time to ‘bless her with a great-grandchild’? And yup, a lot of you know love making?”I glared at him. “Blaze.”His smirk faded, replaced by something more serious. “Look, I get it. But it’s better to act like we’re on board with whatever she has planned than to outrightly refuse her. At least until we figure out what she really wants.”I frowned, pacing slightly. This did not make sense. It was either she got the idea out of the blue or she simply had been planning this all along and it was also her reason, if not the major reason, for coming here. I heaved a sigh. I did not know how Blaze expected me to be on board with that. I mean we weren't seeing e

I was furious.Blaze exhaled, rubbing the back of his neck. “Kaia, I wasn’t spying. I was looking out for you. I was informed about Shawn and went to check the security footage to be sure.”I scoffed. “Oh? So, barging into my office, nearly ripping Shawn’s head off, and watching security footage of me is your idea of ‘looking out’?”His lips pressed into a tight line. “I was concerned about you. I was worried, alright.”I blinked, taken aback. Blaze never admitted things like that.For a moment, neither of us spoke. The tension between us was suffocating, but this time, it wasn’t just anger.It was something else, dangerous, and I refused to acknowledge. I didn’t want my feelings whacked around during tehse remaining few months. I exhaled sharply, sha

    **************CHAPTER 86~Kaia’s POV~I arrived at the company as usual and decided to put in some work at the HOF office before going to Blaze’s. What I wasn’t expecting was the stupid surprise that awaited me. The moment my assistant buzzed in, I could tell something was wrong.“Ma’am, I, uh…” she hesitated. “Shawn Caldwell is here to see you. He says it’s important.”I froze.The name alone sent a shiver of irritation through me.Shawn? Here? Why?I had blocked him, ignored him, and made it crystal clear that I wanted nothing to do with him. And yet, here he was, bold as ever, daring to show up at my workplace.I exhaled sharply. My first instinct was to have security throw him out, but then…No.If Shawn wanted to play games, then fine. I needed to put an end to things with him anyway and finish whatever shenanigans he has had with me.“Send him in,” I said coolly.Moments later, the office door swung open, and Shawn Caldwell walked in looking as smug as ever.He raised his shoul
