Chapter 33: “A Deal Sealed in Rings”
Chapter 33: “A Deal Sealed in Rings”Kai sat in the car, watching the trees pass by as Rico drove calmly.
"Where are you taking me?" Kai asked, a bit of tension in his voice.
Rico smirked. "It’s a surprise. I’m sure you’ll like it."
Kai frowned. "Let me go. I said let me go!"
Rico didn’t flinch. "How stubborn you are, little kid."
Kai snapped back, "If Bast finds out you took me somewhere by force, he’ll sue you. You clearly didn’t think this through—you’ll be in danger."
Rico chuckled darkly. "Your daddy is so weird. He dated me while he was married... and had a cute kid like you."
Kai’s eyes widened, completely stunned. "W-What do you mean... while he was married?"
Rico didn’t reply immediately. He simply stopped the car in front of a beautiful farmhouse, surrounded by trees and golden sunlight. He turned off the engine and opened the door.
"If you want to know more, come inside, Kai."
Still in shock, Kai silently stepped out of the car and followed Rico’s steps. They entered the quiet house, the door shutting behind them like the closing of a secret.

Meanwhile...
Bast called Rico again and again, but no one answered. His grip tightened on the phone.
"Where the hell are they...?" he muttered under his breath.
He turned to his security team. "
Miles glanced around. "Where’s Kai?"
Without waiting for an answer, Miles rushed toward Kai’s room and knocked on the door. "Kai? What’s going on?"
Kai slowly opened the door. The moment Miles saw him, he pulled him into a tight hug. "Are you okay?" he asked softly.
"I’m fine, there’s no need to worry," Kai replied, but his swollen, red eyes told a different story.
Miles looked at him, brows furrowed. "What happened? Why is Bast out there drinking like that?"
Kai let out a shaky breath. "I went on a date with Rico." He held out his hand, showing Miles the silver couple ring on his finger.
Ethan and Miles both stared at it in shock. Bast stayed quiet in the background, unmoving, his gaze hollow.
Kai continued, "I love Rico. We met at the club that night when Elina drugged me—he saved me. And slowly, we started liking each other... and now, he’s my boyfriend."
Miles took a step back, disbelief written all over his face. "Kai... what are you saying? You love Bast. Don’t you?"
Kai’s voice turned cold. "Sleeping with my stepdad was a mistake. Just a mistake. Not love. Understand?"
Miles stood frozen, completely stunned. That wasn’t the Kai he knew.
Ethan, watching from behind, narrowed his eyes. Something’s off... This isn’t like Kai at all. Rico must have done something to him.
He clenched his fists. I need to find out the truth—before it’s too late.
