Chapter 8 - Mara Discovered Kai Had Hidden One Final Secret From Her—and It Nearly Destroyed the Trust They Had Spent Years BuildingMara found a document.
Kai had created a trust.
For Lily.
For future children.
For education.
For healthcare.
It was worth millions.
She was furious.
“You did this without telling me.”
Kai looked at her.
“I wanted her protected.”
“You should have asked me.”
“You're right.”
She left.
For three days, they barely spoke.
Kai understood.
The old him would have justified it.
The new him knew better.
He went to her apartment.
“I was wrong.”
Mara looked at him.
“Why?”
“Because I made a decision for you.”
She nodded.
“I can't live like that.”
“I know.”
He handed her the trust documents.
“You control it.”
Her eyes filled.
“No.”
“Yes.”
“You trust me?”
“With everything.”
She hugged him.
The trust was finalized.
Their relationship became stronger.
Then Kai proposed.
No cameras.
No reporters.
Just Lily.
He asked her:
“Will you help me ask your mother something?”
Lily smiled.
“Yes.”
That night, Kai knelt.
Lily held the ring.
“Mama?”
Mara began crying.
Kai said:
“I don't want to own your future.”
“I don't want to manage your choices.”
“I want to spend the rest of my life earning the right to share them.”
Mara looked at Lily.
Then at Kai.
“Yes.”
He smiled.
Lily screamed.

“Princess wins!”
They laughed.
