Chapter 3 Loose Lips Kaia's face was a stunner-drop-dead gorgeous. But it wasn't just that. Tobias's cool eyes, usually steady as stone, flickered with something murky. Her vibe was unreal, like she floated above the rest of the world. But that wild claim she just dropped made him wince. "Pfft-" Russell cracked up. "You're killing me! You? Gave Mr. Moreno that car? Best joke I've heard all year!" "You don't buy it?" Kaia said, calm as ever, like she was just spitting facts. Russell thought it was a gag, but her dead-serious face? Like she'd die on that hill. It bugged him. "You know what car that is? And you're saying you gave it to him?" he said. 'As if you could afford it.' He didn't say it, but his tone screamed it. Kaia nodded. "Limited edition, dropped three years back in Gasha City. Ten made worldwide, right?" Some big-shot dealer had bragged about it to her once. Russell's eyes bugged out. 'She knows? And still flexes like she's the one who gifted it? Geez, that's next-level. 'I don't get it-Keaton's sharp as a whip, so why pick a show-off like her for his grandson's wife?' For the Moreno family's sake, Russell zipped it. The car soon pulled up to the Moreno villa. "We're here," Tobias said, face blank as a brick wall. "Cool." Kaia hopped out. Russell shot Tobias a look as he moved to follow. "No shade, man, but this girl? Total miss. Mr. Moreno whiffed it." Tobias didn't blink. "Told you, she's got nothing to do with me." Seeing Tobias wasn't into her, Russell relaxed. Keaton was waiting at the entrance, his old eyes lighting up when he saw Kaia. "Kaia, kiddo! You made it! First time here, huh? My villa's pretty slick, right?" Kaia glanced inside-glitzy chandeliers, leather couches, even the tiles screamed cash. "It's nice," she said, short and sweet. "Nice? Move in! Marry my grandson, pop out a chubby great-grandkid. Nah, one's not enough. Three-no, five. Scratch that, seven's the vibe." Russell clutched his stomach, howling. "Mr. Moreno, you planning a reboot of The Fantastic Seven? A whole squad of tiny heroes to save their great-grandpa?" Keaton, too chipper to snap back, grabbed Kaia's hand and tried to pass it to Tobias. Their hands brushed, and both yanked back like they'd been shocked. "Grandpa," Tobias said, face darkening, "I picked her up. That's it. I'm not into dating, so drop it." "No dating? What, something wrong down there? Or are those rumors true? Always with that Fisher kid-people saying you bat for the other team?" scolded Keaton. "Pfft-" Russell spewed his water. "Mr. Moreno, that's just dumb gossip! Total crap!" "Hmph! Save it. Stay away from my grandson." Russell stood there, stunned. Tobias, seeing Keaton's stubborn streak, doubled down. "She's not my type." "Not your type? How?" Keaton barked. Tobias flicked a glance at Kaia, then squared up, voice icy. "Grandpa, you call me cocky. Fine. But I've earned it. Skipped grades, full ride to Morganburg's top school. "As CEO, I've crushed it-took the company and our family to the top, owned entire markets." Keaton's bushy brows knotted. "So what?" Tobias's eyes narrowed, stealing another look at Kaia. "She doesn't cut it. I want someone as exceptional as me." "What? Doesn't cut it? Kid, you don't even know who she really is! She's-" Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
