Chapter 25 Summary: “Kai, Present”

Kai sits alone in his house, frustrated and unsure of why he acted as he did during the wedding. Banks arrives and exhibits quiet anger, behaving as though she is reluctant to be there. Her scowls and the presence of her guards both convince Kai that she does indeed wish she were elsewhere. She claims that the guards now work for her because they disobeyed Gabriel’s orders.


Kai urges Banks to eat and teaches her to use chopsticks. He then pulls her onto his lap and tells her how much he desires her; he says that the only real reason he married her was to have her. He promises not to hurt Damon and tells her that he doesn’t care who her father is. His reassurances convince Banks to forgive him and to have sex with him. 


The next morning, Kai gets a phone call from Damon, who tells Kai that he plans to reclaim Banks for himself. The threat makes Kai realize that he really does love Banks. He demands to know where Damon is, but Damon won’t reveal his secret and hangs up. Kai tells Banks’s guard to keep watch over her while he goes out.
