A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Fifty-Six - The Call
There was silence for a few minutes on the phone as Luna told her mother that they had the memorial ground in their name now. And then Luna heard her sob, softly and very low she almost didn’t hear it.Luna smiled, picturing her mother’s hand going to her mouth as relief poured through her. Luna knew her mother well enough to know how she would react to the news, and picturing her eyes shining with happiness even as they filled with tears, filled Luna’s heart with joy. A day that had started out hellish was fast becoming very fulfilled, her heart was bursting with joy and the fact that she knew her mom’s was too was just an addition. A very huge addition.Luna closed her eyes, she pressed her hand to the middle of her chest as her mother’s son continued on the line.“I thought they were going to- I thought-” Mira broke down, unable to go on.Luna nodded even though she couldn’t see her. “I know. I know, me too,” she said. Thinking of those few hellish hours after Clayton had lef

Flashback.Luna stopped at the entrance of the room the maid led her to. It was dark, the drapes were drawn, the only source of light were the two beside lamps glowing low in a corner of the room. She took a step inside, she glanced back at the maid as she took a step back. “Welcome home, Miss Jones,” she said and turned to walk away.She closed the door softly as she left, leaving Luna alone in the dark room. Luna turned back to look around the room, she couldn’t see much. Just a really large bed in the middle of the room, a dresser, two bedside tables, a really big wardrobe, from what Luna could tell. Slowly, Luna made her way towards the middle of the room, her eyes taking in everything. This was going to be her new room, the maid had told her. No one had followed her from the party, Moira and her husband, Logan, had rode off in a different car. Justin had gone off in another, with Jake. It had been Jake who had come to tell her they were heading off, a meeting that couldn’t
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Fifty-Eight - The Complicated
PresentLuna took in a deep breath as she stared at the phone in her hand. What she was about to do was probably the hardest thing she had ever had to do in her entire life, and that was including having to leave her home and everything she knew behind to marry a stranger who hated her. But she inhaled another deep breath and took the plunge. She dialed.He picked up on the second ring. “Luna,” he said.Tremors ran up her spine. I told you, Rita, Luna thought to herself, just one word. God help me.“Justin,” she managed to say, her voice steady, even though her hands shook lightly on the table.She looked down at it, strangely drawing strength from the sight of it. Talking to him over the phone was better than face-to-face in any case. Here, she had some semblance of control, face-to-face would have been much more harder. And yet she had to ask.“Are you in New York?”“No,” he replied. “Actually, I’m in London right now, closing off a business deal.”“Oh,” Luna said.She sh
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Fifty-Nine - The Heat
Hours later, Luna trudged up the porch steps to her home, bone-tired. The day had been long, now she just wanted to sleep deeply through the night. She didn’t want any intrusion from the day to interfere with that, so she left the curtains drawn as she made her way to her living room. She didn’t turn on any lights and she didn’t engage the locks, she just stepped out of her shoes and left them by the door. She dropped her purse on the sofa, making her way towards the kitchen island in the far side of the living room. There was a small bar in the kitchen nook, she took out a bottle of scotch and a wineglass. She poured the drink into the cup and downed it in one gulp. Normally, with how tired she was, she would have just gone straight to bed, but tonight, she felt like she needed the drink. Just one, kind of like her own little celebration. And, scotch had been her dad’s favorite drink.Thinking of that, Luna poured another drink into her cup. She lifted it to the picture of her dad
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty - The Release
Luna almost closed her eyes as she felt Justin’s hand on her cheek. It has been three years, six months and twenty-three days since she’d felt Justin’s hand on her face. And she remembered each day.She had told him she didn’t, but she did. She remembered it all, the thought of his touch had haunted her night so stunningly for months after their split. And now, with all the years of hurt and pain still between them, she was feeling his hand on her cheek again.“Justin,” she whispered, her heart tripping in her chest.“You don’t know how long I’ve wanted to touch you,” Justin said, his voice hoarse and deep.Luna’s pulse jumped at his words. What was happening to her? She wasn’t supposed to give in this easily, she wasn’t supposed to give in at all. Luna looked deep into Justin’s eyes. This was wrong. This was going against everything she had been drumming into her own head, her own mind, her heart, for years now. This was betraying herself.She turned away from him suddenly, sh
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-One - The Morning
Luna opened her eyes as the sunlight from the open blinds streamed in from outside. She hadn’t opened the blinds, Luna thought blearily to herself as her movements from yesterday night when she had entered the house flittered back into her mind. She was still drowsy, so the remembering was a little fuzzy.Justin must have opened it sometime during the night then, she concluded silently. It took a few seconds for the implication of her thought to hit her, and then it did. Justin!Luna’s eyes popped wide open as she realized what it meant. Justin was in her room. The remaining event of the night before started to flitter into her mind, and comprehension dawned in Luna’s mind. Comprehension, along with horror.Slowly, as if she was afraid of what she was going to see, Luna turned her head to look at her side. Justin lay there, chest up, face slightly turned towards her, eyes closed. Luna’s eyes widened even more.Oh God! She had slept with Justin!Oh God, oh God, oh God, oh God, Lun
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Two - The Consequences
A hour later, Luna walked into her office building. She responded to her employees as some of them smiled and murmured greetings to her as she walked past. She went into her personal elevator and rode it up to her office. Everything she did was on auto pilot.Her mind was miles away from the office, her mind was on Justin.The elevator doors slid open to reveal her assistant’s desk. Jaden stood up abruptly as he saw her.“Good morning, Miss Jones,” he said. “I-”Luna raised up a hand to cut him off effectively. “Give me ten, Jaden,” she ordered.She left him staring at her as she walked into her office, she closed the door behind her. She walked over to her desk, and sat down. Before she could drop her head to the table and wallow for ten minutes, Rita breezed into her office, iPad in hand.“Good morning, girl,” she said cheerfully. “I had the best night ever last night. I don’t know what it was, but my sleep was just so sound. I guess it happens like that every once in a while.
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Three - The Appointment
“Shift my meeting with the Texas shareholders to 3PM later today and my meeting with the transportation team up to 12,” Luna instructed Jaden, who studiously jotted down her orders in his little notebook in his hand. “They wasted my time in the last meeting we had with their bickering, I might as well waste theirs.”“Yes, ma’am,” Jaden obeyed.Luna looked at him. “I’ve told you not to call me ‘ma’am’. It’s archaic, Jaden, or were you not born this century?”Jaden flushed, he shifted on his feet. “I was, ma-” he cut off as he realized what he was about to say again. “Miss Luna,” he corrected.Luna studied him, a smile almost curving around her lips. His jittery responses around her would have annoyed her if she didn’t know what it felt like to be an inexperienced and trembling rookie in front of experienced and powerful people. But, she knew, and she also knew that Jaden was trying his best, as much as possible. Unlike Moira, that’s all Luna asked of her employees.On that thought
