?Chapter 76:


    Katrina wiped her eyes, then moved closer, leaning against his chest, which lit a spark in Caiden.


    He kissed her passionately,pletely caught up in the intensity of the moment.


    “Okay, I’ll handle it.”


    It was only then that Katrina used her charm, making sure Caiden waspletely satisfied.


    Caiden rested against the headboard, a wave of regret washing over him. He couldn’t understand how Dani had be so strong-willed and unyielding. More and more, her personality reminded him of herte mother. Every time he looked at Dani, it felt like he was face-to-face with her mother.


    The sweet, gentle girl who had once followed Alexander around was nowhere to be found now.


    He knew that Katrina wouldn’t let it go unless Dani handed over the three floors of the Luxor Tower.


    Caiden lit a cigarette, stepped out onto the balcony, and dialed Alexander’s number.


    “Hey, Alexander. Are you free tomorrow?”


    Alexander, still at work, replied, “What’s up?”


    “There’s a charity g tomorrow night. Do you have time to attend? I’d like you to take Joyce along to help her expand her horizons.”


    There was a brief pause on the other end of the line before Alexander responded, “Sure.”


    Just as Alexander was about to hang up, Caiden added, “You and Dani were married. I saw her name on the guest list for tomorrow night. Joyce is being stubborn about those floors in Luxor Tower.


    You remember how Dani used to listen to you, right? Maybe you could talk to her.”


    Alexander paused, his grip tightening on the phone.


    “She doesn’t listen to me anymore.”


    Caiden chuckled softly.


    “She used to listen to you, didn’t she? I know things were a bit rocky between you two, but let’s be real—you’re nning on marrying Joyce, right? That makes me your future father-inw. We’re practically family now, so how about doing me this small favor? It won’t take much, just a few words, really. I’m counting on you here.”


    Before Alexander could respond, Caiden hung up the phone. Richard, sitting in Alexander’s office, sneered.


    “That old fox is too clever for his own good.”


    Alexander recalled Dani’s cold, indifferent expression from the night before.


    “She won’t agree,” he muttered to Richard.


    Richard waved it off.


    “Let Caiden handle it. Don’t offend Dani because of Katrina. By the way, have you heard? Dani just secured that massive piece ofnd in the North District—the one nobody else had the courage to go after.”


    Alexander looked up, his eyes widening with surprise.


    Richard gave a thumbs-up.


    “I’ll give her credit. Thatnd is a goldmine, but the seller wants full payment upfront. Everyone was eyeing it, but no one had the nerve or resources to take it on. And Dani just swooped in and grabbed it like it was nothing. Alexander, our family’s in the renovation and construction business.


    You’re going to the g tomorrow, right? Make sure yound the renovation contract for that property. First, it’ll help rebuild a connection with Dani. Second, it’s a huge project that could bring in a fortune for us. And third, it’ll relieve some of the pressure on ourpany next year.”


    Alexander was reluctant. The idea of trying to win Dani over for money didn’t sit right with him. He had tried to talk to her a few timestely, but each time, she ignored himpletely.
