A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Seventy-Four - The Argument
Two hours later, Luna stared at the closed elevator doors as it moved up to Justin’s office. When she had finally gotten to her office after leaving her father’s graveside, and Jaden had told her the first thing on her schedule for the day was a meeting with Justin, Luna couldn’t believe her ears.And it wasn’t just any meeting either, it was a one-on-one, that is, just she and Justin. In his office. Alone. Luna shook her head again as the elevators continued to glide up seamlessly. It was like fucking fate was deliberately messing with her. Or karma, everyone knew she was a bitch. But Luna couldn’t think of what despicable act she might have committed in the near past that warranted this sort of mega payback.Then again, it could just be coincidence, Luna thought to herself. It didn’t necessarily have to mean that some existential force was at play here. It could just be coincidence that on the same day she found out she was carrying her ex-husband’s baby- her ex-husband who appa

The door opened and Moira walked out. Her steps faltered as she saw Luna standing there. For a few minutes, the two women stood, staring at each other. And then Moira’s eyes narrowed as she saw in Luna’s eyes that she had heard everything that had been said.Luna stood, braced for whatever scathing comment she could see gathering up in Moira’s eyes, but surprisingly, Moira said nothing. Instead, she just gave Luna one last fulminating glare before she walked past her and out of the office. Luna could swear she actually felt the chill as Moira passed her on her way to the elevators.“Wow,” Luna muttered to herself as the doors closed on Moira.She made her way towards Justin’s office, she hesitated for just a second before knocking lightly on the door.“Come in,” was the short reply from Justin inside his office.Luna opened the door and walked in. She watched as Justin’s eyes widened as he saw her. He stood, his eyes never leaving her face. And Luna got a flash from from her firs
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Seventy-Six - The Feeling
Back in her office, Luna leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes as she let the residual feeling from her meeting with Justin slide away. She hadn’t allowed herself to break down, not in front of him. Not even while she was still in his company, and not even on the ride back to the her company. She knew she couldn’t have afforded to have even a little chink in her armor, or a crack in her facade until she got back to her own office.It had been harder than Luna had thought it would be to sit across from Justin and keep the secret she was now keeping from him. That moment they had had before she shut it down had made it harder.In those few seconds when Justin’s fingers had trailed lightly across her face, Luna had had a glimpse of the idea of the man she had wished Justin to be while they had been married. The man she had wished with all her heart that he would grow to be.Within a few weeks into their marriage, Luna had known that her husband was not a fairytale storybook k

Two days later, Luna placed a bowl of popcorn on the table in the middle of the living room. It was nighttime, she was home, in her most comfortable sweats and she was expecting Ashley, for their sister bonding time together.Tonight, it was New Girl they were going to be watching, they had both agreed on it when Luna had called Ashley earlier that day to confirm if she was still going to be coming over for their usual date night. One of their traditions whenever they were hanging out like that was to watch old timey comedy sitcoms, sitcoms like Friends, New Girl, Gilmore Girls and so on. Tonight, they had decided on New Girl, and Luna already had the episodes lined up.Just then, Luna heard the code to the door being keyed in outside, Ashley had the code, so she knew it was her. The door opened and Ashley walked in.“Hey!”“Hey!” they both said at the same time.They laughed and went forward to hug each other, also at the same time. Ashley dropped her purse on the couch as she t

The next day, Luna found herself at Honor’s company. Another showing was the first deal on her schedule for the day, and that was why she was there.Luna watched with some detachment as models walked past, showing off Honor’s designs for the gala event. Luna’s mind was still on what she had found out about Ashley’s boyfriend the night before. LaFerve fashion show. Ashley obviously hadn’t known how big a deal the event was, or she never would have told Luna that was where her boyfriend was. She knew Luna would have put it together.And because Luna knew Ashley probably hadn’t meant to tell her even that tiny bit, she hadn’t said anything else after that. She had just let it ruminate in her as they continued watching their series.Ashley must know her boyfriend was an elite, there was no way they would be dating, and seriously- if all the indications were any pointer- and she wouldn’t know that her boyfriend was an elite. And because she knew it, and she knew how…. strongly opposed….

Flashback.The party was in full swing by the time Luna and Justin arrived. She walked into the crowded rooftop where the party was taking place with Justin, it was a fundraiser for some charity. Ever since Luna had been married to Justin- going on two weeks now- she had gone to approximately seven different fundraisers. Fundraisers for charities Luna haven’t ever heard of in her life, and which when she asked about them, nobody else seemed to know either, or care.That was all they seemed to be doing with their lives, Luna thought as she looked around the sea of unfamiliar faces. Going to parties for nameless charities with strangers that don’t care. Luna turned to look at Justin’s side profile beside her. He really was such a handsome man, she thought to herself. Even after being with him for almost a month now, his handsomeness still had a way of grabbing her attention.The features of his face were not exactly soft or even approachable, in fact, they were the opposite. Everyt

Gina took her seat in the chair behind her desk, she folded her hands together on it and smiled at Luna.“Everything looks great, no issue at all,” she said.Luna felt a bump of joy in her chest at Gina’s words. She beamed, actually beamed, at Gina, like she had given her the baby and not just reporting on the test she had done on Luna.“Thank you so much,” she said to Gina.“Oh, I am so happy for you,” Gina smiled at Luna too, she reached across the desk to grip Luna’s hand, “I really am. I know this is what you have wanted for so long, what you have been so careful with your body for, and now you’re getting it!”Luna smiled and nodded. “I know! I know, and I am so ecstatic about it. Happy, scared, elated, nervous, anxious, joyful. Everything is just mixed up inside of me, and even that I’m grateful for.”Gina chuckled. “That is all normal, trust me. Expectant mothers are the most paradoxical people in the world, especially first time mothers. Well, so I guess there’s no use as

Leaving Gina’s office, Luna drove back to her office. She had let Matt go again, she had told him she didn’t want to keep him hanging around. Which was true, technically, but really, she had just wanted to be alone.Following her appointment with Gina, Luna had known beforehand that she was going to be emotional and feeling all sorts of emotions. Emotions that she didn’t need Matt, or anybody else for that matter, seeing. And she was right, Luna thought to herself as she drove, she was feeling emotional.Not teary or overly joyful or anything like that, it seemed like she was done with all that now. What she was feeling now was a more softer feeling, a gentler and yet deeper feeling. Maternal, she thought. She rubbed a hand protectively over her flat stomach. She didn’t know if all expectant mothers felt the way she did, but she couldn’t wait for her stomach to start swelling with the growth of her baby inside her. She wanted to feel that protruding, the roundness that came with i
