“Take a guess.”
“Cade?” he ventured, feigning innocence.
Laughter bubbled from Alicia’s lips.
Her soft, fragrant mouth hovered tantalizingly close, and Caden surrendered to the magnetic pull, leaning down
to claim her kiss.
Their arrival in Cruasa brought an unexpected encounter at the hotel—Ellis, a prominent Banta businessman,
and his family.
Caden owed Ellis a favor, and their mutual respect demanded acknowledgment. Without hesitation, Caden

Alicia’s gaze drifted to the Reed family’s second son, a small figure perched on his chair. At five years old, his

celestial display neared its ten o'clock peak, their post-dinner departure plans were interrupted when Caden
received an urgent project call demanding his attention.
Alicia suggested that Caden handle it first, and she would ride with Jaida’s family.
Caden considered briefly before agreeing, promising to rejoin them afterward.
Their journey abruptly halted when Scarlette burst into inconsolable tears. Her face streaked with anguish, she
