Dahlia shook her head at her husband’s childish act, then turned back to Maya. “Don’t mind him,
sweetheart. Alice left about an hour ago, same with Nicholas.”
Maya felt a pang of guilt. “Oh… I’m sorry. We weren’t there to-”
Dahlia quickly placed a hand on the side of Maya’s arm, gentle and grounding. “Don’t worry about it. Nothing to apologize for. Everything’s sorted. We’ll go over some final details tomorrow, but
honestly, it’s all set.”
Dominic nodded in agreement, offering a small smile. “Nothing to worry about. Just relax,
everything is taken care of.”
Maya let out a small, relieved breath. “Thank you, Uncle Dominic, Aunt Dahlia.”
“Ah, silly girl! No need to thank us!” Dominic said with a chuckle. “Just in case you haven’t received
the memo, we’re family now!”
Damien gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
“Anyway,” Dominic added, “where are you two headed?”
“We’re going to check on Jaime,” Damien said. “Maya wants to sleep with him tonight.”
“Oh, I… I just want to spend more time with him before his surgery,” Maya said softly.
“Ah! We just dropped him off in his room,” Dominic continued. “Took a lot of effort to convince the
old man to let him go.”
Dahlia raised an eyebrow. “I believe you’re just jealous, darling.”
“Jealous of what?” Dominic asked.
“Of your father getting to spend more time with Jaime than you,” Dahlia said with a playful smirk.
“Of course not!” Dominic protested, then paused. “He is so obsessed with chess….” He looked at
Dahlia. “Darling, why don’t you help me think of a plan to keep him entertained besides playing
chess?”
“Don’t drag me into it,” Dahlia said, laughing lightly. “Besides, you’re the one who gifted him that chessboard, remember? Now, enough of that. Let’s not keep these two any longer.”
“Right, right!” Dominic agreed.
“We’re heading to bed,” Dahlia added. “Don’t stay up too late either, okay?”

They nodded, and a few steps down the hall, Dahlia stopped. “I hope you learned a good lesson today, son.”
With that, they continued into their room, and the door closed behind them.
Damien and Maya resumed their walk down the hallway, arriving at Jaime’s door. Damien raised a hand and knocked lightly.
“Come in,” came Jaime’s voice from inside.
Maya pushed the door open, and they stepped inside. Jaime sat cross-legged on the bed, laptop balanced on his knees, fingers flying over the keys. His brow was furrowed, eyes intense,
completely absorbed in what he was doing.
When he noticed them, his expression shifted instantly-first surprise, then a guarded brightness. He quickly minimized the window, as if hiding something he didn’t want them to see, forcing a grin that felt a touch too practiced.
“Oh! You’re here!” he said, a little too quickly.
