    Sally felt like lightning had struck her. Tears spilled down her cheeks uncontrobly.

    “No… no way. That’s impossible! My Kimberly–she wouldn’t… she couldn’t have died!”

    Her dazed, panicked eyes locked onto Luna, silently begging her to take the words back.

    But Luna only let out a quiet sigh.

    “Sally… it was because of your nephew. And Kaia stirred things. up too. The Martins family’s finished. Your nephew’s probably rotting in jail by now.

    “But Kimberly…” She hesitated. “She’s gone. I’m sorry.”

    Luna’s tone stayed calm, detached–careful to keep herself clear of the whole mess.

    She’d guessed right. No one had told Sally the truth while she’d been locked up.

    And now, with Sally’s release only a few months away, Luna saw her chance.

    Why should she rot in here while Kaia got to live free and

    happy on the outside?

    It wasn’t fair.

    On Sunday, Jude and Gwen got married.

    Kaia and Lucien were there, watching from the crowd.

    Kaia felt her throat tighten as she watched her mentor find his happiness.

    “Honey, why are you crying?” Lucien teased softly, pulling out a handkerchief to dab her tears.

    “I’m fine.” Kaia sniffled. “Just… moved. Happy tears.”

    Lucien pouted. “You didn’t cry this much at our wedding.”

    Kaia rolled her eyes. Trust him to get jealous over something

    like that.

    “First checkup tomorrow. You nervous?” she asked,

    Lucien’s warm hand rested on her belly, gentle and proud. “Not nervous. Our baby’s gonna be healthy as can be.”

    He smiled. “Don’t worry, honey. We’re going to Landon’s

    hospital.”

    “Sounds good.”

    The next morning, bag in hand, Kaia headed out with Lucien.

    But during the ultrasound, the doctor’s serious expression

    made her heart lurch.

    “Is something wrong?” Kaia asked quickly. “Is the heartbeat okay?”

    The doctor looked up, then smiled. “Everything’s fine. Heartbeat’s perfectb. /bBut… I’m seeing two heartbeats.”

    Kaia blinked. “Wait… what?”

    “Ms. Domont, it looks like you’re carrying twins.”

    Kaia pushed herself up. “Twins? I’m having twins?!”

    “Seems so. Lie back for a second. Let me check again.”

    Kaiay back, her mind spinning.

    “Congrattions. It’s definitely twins. They were just too small to spot before, but now they’re clear as day. Naturally conceived twins are rare. You’re lucky. Onebor—two babies

    Kaia left the exam room in a daze, her hand unconsciously resting on her stomach.

    Lucien was waiting. The moment he saw her face, he stiffened. “Is everything okay?”

    Kaia looked up slowly. Then a smile stretched across her face.

    “Lucien… I’m having twins. Twins!”

    Lucien froze, eyes wide. Then his face lit up like a kid at

    Christmas.

    “So… I’m getting two daughters?”

    Kaiaughed, swatting his arm. “Could be two sons. Or one of

    each.”

    Lucien didn’t care. He swept her into his arms and spun her around.

    “Put me down, you idiot! Don’t spin our babies away!”

    “They’re fine! Shhh, don’t jinx it.” He beamed. “Honey, I’m thrilled! I’m gonna be a dad of two girls!”

    Later, when Lucien dropped the news in the group chat, the

    Landon finally grumbled: [What kind of dumb luck is that? Twins? Seriously?]

    The other two, both still childless, stayed quiet. Lucien’s happiness was just too blinding to look at.

    Back at Graves Manor, Allen was over the moon.

    First Zane woke up that morning, and now this?

    “Kaia, just rest. If Lucien gives you any trouble,e straight to me. I’ll handle him,” Allen dered proudly.

    Kaiaughed. “Deal. If he messes up, you’ll be my backup.”

    Lucien, still floating in a cloud of pure joy, just grinned.

    At this point, nothing on earth could make him upset Kaia.

    He wasn’t thrilled with the group’sckluster response.

    That night, Kaia caught him sitting on the bed, making calls one by one.

    “Wiley, what’s that? You’re getting married?

    “Oh, I’m just calling to say I’m having twins. Your wife pregnant yet?”

    Wiley had no patience for this and hung up after a few words.

    “Calvin, are you still abroad? Just catching up, been a while. You snag your girl yet?b” /b

    Lucien was poking at sore spots.

    Calvin gritted his teeth. “What’s your deal? I’m busy!”

    “Oh, just saying, when my two daughters are born in a few months,e back, and we’ll celebrate. Why are you so touchy?”

    Calvin rolled his eyes.

    Touchy?

    He hadn’t even won over his crush yet!

    Lucien didn’t care what he thought, moving on once the message was delivered.

    Hisst call was to Landon.

    Landon had just gotten Dolores to sleep when Alyssa handed

    him the phone.

    “Uncle Lucien’s looking for you.” 677

    Landon sighed. He didn’t want to pick up, but he had to.

    “What’s up?”
