Hidden Luna

The next day and for the next few months, Ikaros Alexandrovich often came to our apartment. He had some complicated business with Jay, and it seemed they were struggling with a big project. While he was in the apartment, he didn't speak to me. Sometimes I felt his gaze towards me was insulting. I felt that he secretly mocked my style of dressing, it made my heart ache and upset at the same time.Oh my, I should've just acted casual. It was just a hook-up. Every university student has done it at least once! But still, my heart felt hurt. I can't explain it to you, but since that day, I couldn't forget that man. And since he touched me, my body always craves him again and again. Sometimes I go to sleep, close my eyes, and his face is the one that appears in my mind. As a result, I started hating myself. Damn.And after two months of heartache, I decided that I needed some peace. So I went to the bar and came home late at night. In a heavily drunken state, I leaned against the hallway wa

This... is a joke, right? There's no way I'm pregnant. And from the shocked look on Ikaros' face, I knew he was thinking the same thing as me.As soon as the doctor left, he grabbed both of my arms and glared at me angrily."With whom have you been sleeping for the past two months, Azalea?" he asked, enraged. "Who is the father of this child!?"His grip on my arms was painful. "Back off," I growled. Hurt. How dare he ask me such a thing!? Did he think I was some cheap slut? "That's none of your business at all."Damn it. I'm pregnant, and last night I drank alcohol? I've hurt a creature that hasn't even taken shape yet."Who is the father of that child, Azalea?"God knows the child in my womb is Ikaros' child. But I won't admit it. Let that man with his snobbish fiancée! Let me take care of myself!I tried to get off the stretcher, but he held onto my arm. "You won't be going anywhere until you answer my question," he growled. "Who else have you been sleeping with besides me!?"And th

"Pheromones don't lie, want to sleep with me again, Azalea?" My heart raced as the man closed the distance between our faces, leaving me only able to see his hazelnut eyes, sharp yet beautiful, while his lips were less than a centimeter away from mine. Closer and closer. I closed my eyes nervously, as if his gaze was dangerous. Then... Nothing happened... "You can open your eyes now," said Ikaros, followed by a mocking laugh. Damn bastard. I opened my eyes, squinting in annoyance, then pushed him away. "You jerk," I muttered. Ikaros chuckled, with a laugh that was sweet, sensual, but so annoying—like the laughter of a demon from the deepest pit of hell—and said, "You wished I kissed you." "No way. You're dreaming," I said. Ikaros grinned sweetly. "Okay... Besides, who would want to do that thing in the morning, right?" he asked me rhetorically. He moved away from me with a swift motion, then walked to my wide-open bedroom window. "It's so nice chatting with you, but

"Are you pregnant?" she asked bluntly."No! Of course I'm not pregnant, Rose," I replied. In the reflection of the glossy counter-height table, I could see my flushed face.Rose sighed exasperatedly. "What about your studies? Will you continue your studies even after getting married?" she asked me again."Of course," I answered. "Marriage won't stop me from studying, right?""Not if you and Ikaros don't plan to have a baby in the first few years," Jay interjected.But we were going to have a baby, and the thought momentarily panicked me."What I find puzzling," Rose continued, and this time her face was truly angry, "is why are you getting married if you don't plan on having a baby? You could just date!"And at that moment, when my sister and Jay looked at me with accusing looks, I felt my chest tighten along with the urge to leave."I..." I started, hesitantly. "I—""Azalea is indeed pregnant," a voice said, and I panickedly looked towards the source of the voice, and saw Ikaros had
