Lina didn't realize how exhausted she was. She had closed her eyes on the cold marble counter and then woken up in a warm bed. When she opened her eyes again, it was already nightfall.
Lina knew it was because she hadn't slept the night before. But she wasn't complaining. Kaden was amazing at cuddling. His arm was snug around her waist, hugging her from behind. Even though his powerful body was built with muscles, his other arm served as a great pillow.
Lina hugged the blanket and snuggled into his embrace. He responded by tightening his grip. When she turned her head behind her to look at him, she saw he was still deeply asleep.
"Such a pretty Sleeping Beauty…" Lina mumbled to herself.
Lina admired him for a little bit longer. In the dusk of the moonlight, his features were enthralling. His brows were taut, his nose angular, his jawline sharp, and his lips the perfect thickness. You wouldn't think his features meshed well, but they did. Together, it crafted a man so blinding, her eyes hurt from looking at him.
Lina was particularly jealous of his long lashes. Why did men always have lashes longer than women? What was the purpose?! The Heavens must be trolling her.
"How nice," Lina whispered.
With a longing glance in his direction, Lina slowly rose from the bed. As much as she loved his warmth, she had to use the bathroom. With great wriggling and struggling, she slipped from his embrace.
Lina replaced her spot with a pillow. Then, she saw it. A glass of water was waiting for her by the nightstand. Next to it was the bottle of contraceptive pills resting on a silk handkerchief.
Lina's breath caught in her throat. She knew Kaden left this for her. He'd prepared the water for her to drink so she could take the pills when she woke up. He agreed with her decision, but why didn't she agree with herself?
"Right when I didn't think it was possible to fall even more in love with you," Lina said.
Lina picked up the bottle, where the plastic wrapper was still intact. She touched the plastic seal with her delicate fingers while she became engrossed with thoughts of the Heir Race. Did she truly want to become a Chairwoman? Was that her desire? Was this the path she had chosen for herself? Or was it something that people had tricked her into wanting?
It was Lawrence's plan after all. To corner her until she was forced to reach for power. But no one was pressuring her anymore. No one was trying to get her married off. No one was controlling her.
Lina's grip tightened on the bottle. With a final glance in its direction, she placed it down and went to the bathroom.

When Kaden woke up to sunshine and roses, he expected his wife by his side. Instead, he was hugging her cheap replacement. A damn pillow. His eyes snapped open. He let out a growl and flung the pillow across the room. Damn furniture.
At her lacking presence, Kaden shot upright. He frantically glanced around the room and didn't see her anywhere. His heart dropped. Who took her this time? Who dared to covet what was his?!
Kaden ripped the blankets off of the bed. But something caught his attention. A bright pink note. When he picked it up from the nightstand, he saw her handwriting:
