CHAPTER 136

~Kaia's POV~

I hadn’t planned to be at the gala that night.

Not after the confrontation with my adoptive parents. Not after everything I learned—everything I remembered. The images were still burned into my mind: the hospital record, my photo in a nurse’s arms, my mother’s tearful confession that I wasn’t Kaia Gold—I was Isla Silver.

The lost girl. The heiress.

The one who was supposed to be dead.

But here I was, standing under the weight of another chandelier, another room full of eyes that sparkled with curiosity, envy, or scrutiny. And somewhere in that crowded hall was Blaze.

I hadn’t told him yet. I wanted to. God, I needed to. But how do you tell the man you married out of desperation that your entire identity is a lie neither of you saw coming?

I was walking toward him when I heard it.

“Everyone, I have something to say.”

The microphone's shrill feedback cut through the soft melody the orchestra had been playing. Conversations died instantly. Heads

  • Flash Marriage With My Ex's Brother   His Investigation

    *****************CHAPTER 135~Blaze’s POV~I didn’t open the envelope right away.It had been sitting on my desk for hours, a thick cream folder sealed and stamped CONFIDENTIAL in red. The investigator I’d hired weeks ago—quietly, privately—had finally sent me the results. And I couldn’t bring myself to rip the damn thing open.This wasn’t supposed to be about distrust. It wasn’t betrayal. It was survival. Mine.Because falling for Kaia hadn’t been part of the plan. She was supposed to be temporary. A clever, convenient detour. But the more I tried to hold the line, the more she’d blurred it with her honesty, her fire, and that maddening way she made me forget every rule I’d lived by.But something hadn’t added up.The missing childhood memories. The way she flinched when family came up. The guarded expression every time someone asked about her past.I didn’t want to doubt her—but I also didn’t want to drown in another heartbreak.So, I did what I always did when my emotions spun out

  • Flash Marriage With My Ex's Brother   Who Am I?

    *****************CHAPTER 134~Kaia’s POV~The sky had already darkened by the time I turned onto the quiet street where my old apartment stood. The city lights flickered in the distance, casting a golden hue on the cracked sidewalk. I hadn’t been here in weeks—maybe even months. Not since everything started spiraling. Not since Blaze.I told him I had errands to run, but in truth, I needed something. Not just any file or financial document—I needed clarity.There was a thick, nagging weight in my chest that wouldn’t leave me alone, something I hadn’t been able to shake off since that gala. Since the whispers. Since Blaze’s parents looked at me like they’d seen a ghost.I parked and walked up the familiar steps to the second floor. My key slid into the lock smoothly, and the door creaked open with a tired groan. The scent of old wood and faint vanilla greeted me like an old friend, and for a moment, I stood there, staring into the dark apartment, feeling both comforted and unsettled.

    *****************CHAPTER 133~Kaia’s POV~The week passed in a blur of meetings, phone calls, and whispered conversations about the project with Kayne Kyle. I barely had time to breathe, much less think about anything else.It was Friday afternoon when Blaze knocked on my office door, stepped inside without waiting for a full reply, and leaned casually against the frame."You’re coming with me to an event tonight," he said, like it wasn’t up for debate.I blinked up from my laptop. "Event?"He smirked. "Gala. Big business celebration. One of my oldest associates is throwing it. I need you to be my date."I set my pen down slowly. "You need me?"He shrugged, unbothered. "You’re beautiful, smart, and far less annoying than most women who’d kill to be on my arm. Plus, I like looking at you."I rolled my eyes, but my cheeks warmed at his words. "You could have just said you wanted company."He chuckled. "Maybe. But then you’d have thought you had a choice."“I do have a choice,” I inform

    *****************CHAPTER 132~Author’s POV~Shawn stepped forward, bristling. “You can’t talk to her like—”“I can,” Blaze interrupted, “and I just did.”Blaze glared daggers at him, but Summer wasn’t done. “You know, Kaia, you should explain your past to him. All of it. He deserves to know how much of a whore and a gold digger you were. Before someone else does. Which is no surprise, seeing as you went after a rich man. ”Blaze’s body turned rigid beside me but as quickly, he regained his composure. “Enough,” he growled, his voice carrying a weight of finality that made the nearby guests hush. “Say one more word, and I will make sure it’s the last you get to utter in this city. Both of you. Think about what failures you have become before trying to tarnish someone else’s image.”The silence that followed was absolute. The air buzzed with tension and Summer blinked, caught off guard by the warning.Sensing the burn of humiliation rising like heat, Shawn nudged her back, took her arm,

  • Flash Marriage With My Ex's Brother   Catching the Resemblance

    *****************CHAPTER 131~Author’s POV~As the evening wore on, more and more guests began to murmur among themselves. It wasn’t about the closed business deals or the stocks being traded.It was about her. Kaia.The chandelier light danced on her bare shoulders, illuminating every angle of her poised expression.From across the room, Blaze’s parents stood frozen near the floral archway. They had been in the middle of polite conversation with a senator when the sound of Kaia’s laughter pulled their attention like a magnet.His mother’s champagne trembled in her hand, eyes locked on the young woman glowing under the chandelier.“Damon,” she whispered, nudging her husband with barely restrained urgency. “Look at her. Tell me I’m not going mad.”Blaze’s father followed her gaze, his lined face tightening in disbelief. “That’s Kaia,” he said slowly.“I know that’s Kaia,” she snapped, her voice low and urgent. “But look again. Look at her smile. Her profile. The way she brushes her hai

    *****************CHAPTER 130~Kaia’s POV~Even without turning, I knew Blaze was watching. His presence was like a sudden weight in the air—thick, crackling, and impossible to ignore. My heart picked up, not out of guilt but out of anticipation and a thrill at the fact that Blaze Black was really jealous.I glanced over my shoulder.Sure enough, he stood across the room, half-turned from a group of sharply dressed men and women. His blue eyes were locked on us, unreadable, but hard.Too hard.Blaze didn’t move. Didn’t smile. But his stare spoke volumes.I looked back at Acer and gave him a wry smirk. “You’re playing with fire.”Acer raised his glass in a mock toast. “Good thing I like the heat.”But as I turned slightly toward Blaze and met his gaze head-on, something flickered in his eyes—an edge of warning, of possession. His jaw flexed once before he politely excused himself from the circle and began walking toward us, slowly, like a man with all the time in the world… and every
