**************CHAPTER 42~Kaia’s POV~The afternoon air did little to cool the fire burning inside me as I stormed out of the restaurant, my heels clicking furiously against the pavement. I couldn’t face Blaze for another second, not after his possessive display and that maddening kiss.But going home wasn’t an option either. Not with the storm of emotions twisting through me. I just didn’t want to encounter him and I knew going to my parents or even my best friend's would be like hiding in plain sight. I wanted space and I was going to get it.I flagged down a taxi that pulled up almost instantly. “Taxi!” I slid into the backseat, slamming the door shut behind me.“Where to, miss?” the driver asked politely.“Anywhere but here,” I said curtly, then sighed. “Actually, take me to the Platinum Crest Hotel.” It was far enough from the restaurant and from everything else weighing me down.The ride was silent, giving me too much time to replay the scene with Blaze. The way his gaze had

**************CHAPTER 44~Blaze’s POV~Kaia’s lips collided with mine, and the heat of her sudden boldness shocked me. Kaia wasn’t supposed to do this. She wasn’t supposed to be taking control, yet here she was, grabbing the reins with ferocity I didn’t expect.For a moment, I froze, my mind grappling with the whirlwind of emotions and sensations. But then instinct took over, and I kissed her back with equal intensity.My hands found her waist, pulling her closer as the kiss deepened. Every thought, every lingering trace of anger, dissolved in the electrifying connection between us. I was the one who she was kissing and not David. It was also proof that she was mine. Kaia’s fingers trailed down my chest, her touch sending sparks shooting through me.I groaned softly against her lips, feeling the tension in my body coil tighter. Just as I thought I had her, she pulled back, her hand splayed against my chest to stop me from closing the distance again.Her eyes locked onto mine, a mix

**************CHAPTER 46~Blaze’s POV~The only sound filling my office was the low sound of the air conditioner as I sat at my desk, my jaw clenched in frustration. Without asking, I had planned on taking care of the scandal for Kaia, and I did. After we left the hotel, I sent a message to my informant, one of the best hackers I knew, to track down the server and find out who had posted the news. The scandal involving Kaia and David Mercer had escalated beyond my initial expectations, and my patience was waning.Across from me, Dristan Reed, my lawyer and closest confidant, leaned back in his chair, reviewing the latest findings from our investigation. His sharp gaze darted over the report in his hands.“Your informant was thorough,” Dristan expressed calmly. “The original post was traced to Summer. She used a hacker to fabricate the narrative, and then she paid a journalist to ensure it gained traction.”My hands tightened into fists. “She orchestrated all of this. Good. I’m than

**************CHAPTER 48~Kaia’s POV~I could still feel the imprint of Blaze’s lips on mine, the heat of his touch lingering as he leaned closer, his smirk growing more insufferable by the second.“Wifely duties?” I echoed, raising an eyebrow and folding my arms across my chest. “You must have hit your head, Blaze Black, because I don’t remember signing up for that part of the contract.”His smirk widened, his gaze dropping to my lips briefly before returning to meet my eyes. “Oh, it’s in there. Probably in the fine print. You should read the clauses more carefully.”I scoffed, stepping back, but he didn’t let me get far. His hand shot out, capturing my wrist again. The way his fingers wrapped around me was firm but careful like he was afraid I’d vanish if he wasn’t careful enough.“You’re not funny,” I muttered, tugging my wrist half-heartedly.“I’m not trying to be, Kaia. You are my wife. It’s not a joke.”There was something in his tone—serious and raw—that made my heart skip a

**************CHAPTER 50~Kaia’s POV~It had been a long day. After the bidding, we returned to the office, where Blaze worked like a maniac.His earlier teasing right now felt liek an imaginary thought I had with how focused he was.Based on what he said, thanks to the presentation, he saw a way to tweak the project to better benefit the masses while also giving the elites of society a way to spend their money and show the masses they aren’t all rich bastards.He called for a meeting with his team. After careful deliberation, the project was adjusted, but not in a way that would affect the results.I sighed, cleaning sweat from my brows. I watched Blaze from a distance. He had a glass of scotch in his hand while typing furiously.He had refused to hand the work over to someone else, and from the looks of things, Blaze was determined to see it through.Standing from my seat with my bag in my hands, I approached him, standing in front of his table. "It's late. I should advise you to c
