Lucien replied casually, “A gift for you. See if you like it.”

Kaia opened the shopping bag and found a glittering fountain pen inside.

She was surprised. “Is this the Fulgor Nocturnus?”

The Fulgor Nocturnus was the king of fountain pens, iid with ck diamonds and rubies, its nib made of gleaming gold.

Lucien smiled, “Do you like it?b” /b

Kaia noticed her initials engraved on the cap and beamed. “I love it!”

“It’s a congrattory gift for your promotion, though a bitte.”

Lucien had actually custom–ordered it a year ago, intending to give it to Kaia. But after she went abroad for further studies, the n was put on hold,

Stopped at a red light, Kaia leaned over and kissed Lucien’s cheek. “Thank you, darling.”

Lucien nced at her red lips and smirked suggestively. “You

Kaia continued, “My studies weren’t in vain, right? I feel like I’ve improved a lot.”

Lucien’s eyes darkened, his Adam’s apple bobbing. “Yes, you have.”

In the bedroom, the curtains swayed suggestively in the night breeze.

Kaia hooked her arms around Lucien’s neck while he cradled the back of her head, their lips locked in a deep kiss.

His relentless invasion left Kaia equally impassioned.

Lucien’s breath was heavy and uneven against her ear.

She tried to pull away but was immediately swept into a deeper whirlpool.

Afterward, Kaia’s skin glistened with a fine sheen of sweat.

Lucien held her tightly, refusing to let go. “You really have improved.”

He was answering her question from the car.

“I said you’ve improved,” Lucien drawled. “Your stamina has gotten much better.”

Blushing furiously, Kaia kicked at him, but her calf was caught effortlessly.

Lucien chuckled lowly, “Iplimented you, and you’re still mad? Let’s try again—I want to see just how much you’ve improved.”

Another whirlpool engulfed Kaia until dawn approached.

Afterward, the indefatigable Lucien marked his calendar with a circle using the very pen he’d gifted Kaia.

The next morning, Kaia woke up sore all over. No matter how much she’d improved, she couldn’t keep up with Lucien’s

endless stamina.

Just as she sat down for breakfast, Alyssa called.

“Kaia, where are you?b” /b

Kaia paused, “At home. What’s wrong?”

Alyssa’s voice was grave. “Kimberly killed herself.”

Kimberly’s suicide made headlines.

The overwhelming online abuse she’d endured in recent weeks fell silent after her death.

Ruben was furious, demanding harsh punishment for those who had cyberbullied Kimberly.

A note, allegedly Kimberly’s suicide letter, began circting online.

[Life feels so meaningless–death might be better. With Dad gone and Mom in prison, what’s the point of living? Especially seeing how well my sister is doing while I’m like a sewer rat, despised by everyone.

I don’t understand why you all hate me so much. I can’t sleep at night. If I can’t figure it out, I’ll stop trying. Mom, I can’t wait for you anymore. I’m leaving first. -Kimberlyi] /i

The letter condemned cyberbullies and singled out another key figure–Kaia

After hanging up with Alyssa, Kaia received another call–this time from Lucien.

“You saw the news online?” Lucien asked tensely,

Kaia nodded. “Yes. Are they ming me?”

Lucien avoided answering directly. “Sweetheart, turn off your phone. Give me ten minutes–I’ll clean this up.”

Kaia obediently locked her screen and leaned back on the sofa, her expression unreadable.

Someone like Kimberly would never kill herself.

It didn’t make sense to Kaia.

Then, a thought struck her. She headed to the garage, picked a car, and drove back to the Domont Vi.

As she arrived, she noticed strangers outside the vi, leaving flowers and candles.

“You’re Kimberly’s sister, aren’t you? Are you happy now that you’ve driven your sister to suicide?”

Someone hurled a water bottle at Kaia’s car.

The butler quickly opened the gates, and Kaia drove straight in.

“Ms. Domontb, /bare you all right?”

Kaia nodded and went straight upstairs.

Some of Kimberly’s belongings remained in the storage room.

Kaia dug out her old notebooks andpared the handwriting to the alleged suicide note. At a nce, they seemed identical.

Did Kimberly ireally /iiwrite /iithis/ii? /i

Her Twitter ount was already flooded.

Dozens of hateful messages poured in every minute.

Cyberbullies would never admit their wrongdoing, but they needed a scapegoat, and Kaia was the perfect target.

They noticed that among the Domont family, Kaia was the only one still thriving–the others were either dead or imprisoned.

Netizens spun wild theories, painting Kaia as the mastermind behind it allb. /bSome even called her a “murderer.”
