Kaleb had never experienced walking around holding hands with a woman, and for a moment, something complicated flickered in his eyes.
His life had always been simple: just work, and when he had time, working out. He had no interest in traveling, and shopping wasn't even part of his world.
Today, Bria was dragging him through a life he'd never experienced before. Honestly, Kaleb didn't hate it. In fact, he felt a rare sense of relaxation, the kind where he didn't have to think about work, where everything paused in the present moment, and he couldn't help but feel at ease.
He knew he liked it, yet at the same time, he kept warning himself not to get lost in it.
He liked how it felt, but he couldn't fully give in, and yet he kept getting pulled deeper.
Kaleb had never felt this conflicted before, which only made him hate how Bria affected him. The moment she got close, his entire life fell into chaos.
His gaze landed on the back of her head, thoughts twisting endlessly, but he didn't say a word.
Bria was having too much fun to care what Kaleb was thinking. As they passed a luxury store, she decided to buy him a gift. No one could reject kindness, right? Bria was ready to bombard him with sweet gestures.
Before, when they weren't close, that approach wouldn't have worked. But now that she'd practically forced her way into his life, it was time to add a little sweetness. Even if Kaleb didn't care about material things, it didn't matter. As long as it was from her, eventually, it would mean something different.
Bria decided to buy him a watch, something starting at over a million.
Kaleb frowned. "I don't need it."
Bria shrugged. "Whether you want it or not is your business. It doesn't stop me from buying it."
Kaleb didn't respond. Bria really was something else. She didn't overthink anything. Even giving a gift had nothing to do with whether the other person wanted it. It was all about whether she wanted to give it.
It felt like... a kind of love that barged in without permission.
Kaleb figured he'd never learn her shamelessness, or that reckless way she charged ahead without caring what anyone else thought.
Bria picked out a watch worth over two million based purely on her own taste. To her, it was actually cheap. One of her brother's watches started at tens of millions. But even this one was more than presentable.
She paid for it and handed it to Kaleb to carry, then dragged him off to the next store. After the watch, she wanted to buy jewelry too.
But after just a few steps, Bria suddenly spotted something and grabbed Kaleb, pulling him into a frantic run to the side.
Kaleb had no idea what was going on, but followed her anyway. When they turned the corner, and he glanced back, he immediately understood why she was panicking.
Bria was breathing hard. "They didn't see us, right?"

Why is half of each of these chapters missing? The story sort of trails off in the middle of the chapter. That’s unfortunate....
