Chapter 710: Big Dummies

Kaiden looked at her and grinned.

"Alexandra," he said. "I’ve come to realize that you wield the strongest weapon in the universe."

She blinked. "Huh?"

"Truly." He nodded with the grave authority of a man delivering a battlefield assessment. "Nothing rivals the tears of women."

Alexandra’s red eyes narrowed.

"How dare you," she said, and her voice carried the quiet fury of a woman who had just ugly-cried on live broadcast and was now being complimented on it like a strategic asset.

Then she moved.

It was fast and uncoordinated, the kind of movement that happened before the brain could talk the body out of it. She closed the distance in a burst that was more stumble than dash, her arms coming up and wrapping around his torso with a grip that squeezed the air out of his lungs.

Kaiden parted his arms and let her in.

His hands came to rest on her back, one between her shoulder blades and the other at the small of her spine, and he held her the way he’d held her once before, firm and steady.

"Thank you," she whispered into his shirt. Her voice was muffled and shaking. "Thank you, thank you, thank you."

He hugged her back without hesitating.

"Are you not angry at me?" he asked.

Alexandra’s grip loosened just enough for her to tilt her head up. "Angry?"

"You just became my mouthpiece, Alexandra." His voice stayed casual. The words landed heavier. "We took your sad past, your trauma, everything you went through with that creature, and we put it on a screen next to two women with a different problem so the audience would connect the dots. We’re weaponizing your pain for internet brownie points."

The studio was quiet. Several of his girls had gone still.

Alexandra pressed her face back into his shirt and squeezed harder.

"You’re a dummy," she said.

Kaiden blinked.

"A big dummy who thinks too much and always tries to take on too much weight." Her voice was steady now, buried against him but clear. "You didn’t force me to do anything, Kaiden. You didn’t even ask. I heard what happened to those two, and I offered. That was my choice."

"Is that so?"

"That is so." She pulled back just enough to look up at him, and her eyes were still red but her jaw was set. "My trauma and my past won’t change no matter what anyone does. I’ve accepted that. So the only thing I can do is make the most of it."

Her fingers tightened on the fabric of his shirt. "You better believe that if some cruel bastard comes along and tries to antagonize you, I’ll appear on camera or do whatever is needed to sway the public. As you so rudely pointed out, I appear to be quite good at weaponizing my tears, so... That’s the least I can do for the people who gave me a home."

Kaiden looked at her.

He didn’t speak for a long moment, and in that silence he saw what this woman actually was.
