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
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Four - The Heart
Luna added blueberry flavor to the batter in the bowl in front of her, she added the remaining ingredients, in the right order and the right quantity. She didn’t need a measuring cup or any sort of measuring instrument, she knew the process and procedure by heart already. She did all of it mechanically though, her head and heart not in what she was doing, but somewhere else. Somewhere far.She was in her mother’s house, her body, that was. She had gone home to bake with her mother, as was their custom, their mother-daughter ritual, sort of. Luna knew her mother was staring at her, she could feel her gaze on her. She was beside her in the kitchen, while Luna was making blueberry pie, her mother was making pumpkin pie. She knew her mother would have already keyed in to the fact that there was something on her daughter’s mind by now, Luna knew she had come to her mother partly because she wanted her to know. She was conflicted, talking to Rita about Justin and her feelings for him h
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Five - The Mind
Luna frowned at her mother. “What do you mean ‘matters of the heart’? She doesn’t want it to be matters of the heart, she wants it to be out of her heart. She wants it to be out of her heart, her head, her mind, everything. She doesn’t even want to think about him, she wants nothing to do with him, she just wants him out of her life.”Mira raised an eyebrow at Luna as she finished her rundown.“She may want all that, but that doesn’t mean that’s what she’s going to get though,” Mira said calmly, giving her an equally calm look.Suddenly frustrated, Luna threw her hands up, splattering batter all over the kitchen counter.“Well, why doesn’t she get to have a say in the matter? It’s her life! It’s her goddamn life and yet, she’s being pulled in a thousand different directions without having a single say in it.”Mira, with that same calm, removed her hand from the dough in her own bowl, she went to the tap underneath the cabinet in the kitchen and washed her hands.“Don’t curse on
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Six - The Amendment
Getting home from her visit with her mother, Luna made her way straight to the bar in her kitchen. She poured herself a generous glass of wine and sipped as she slid her shoes off her feet. She swirled the wine in her glass, closing her eyes for a bit as she let the tension of the day roll off her shoulders.She thought of her workload for the next day; the meetings she needed to arrange, the drop-ins she needed to be present for in about three of her companies branches, the forms she needed to sign and the orders that had to be approved.Luna was aware of the fact that everything she had just listed in her head may seem daunting and overwhelming to other people, but to her, it was bliss. She cocked her head and squinted her eyes a little. Well, maybe ‘bliss’ was a strong word, she thought to herself after considering it, but it was close to it. It was routine, it was work, and as of right this moment, it was her life’s purpose. It gave her a reason to get up in the morning, a rea
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Seven - The Boyfriend
One hour later, Luna and Ashley were both seated on the couch in Luna’s living room. They had a blanket thrown over both their legs, and they were both reclining lazily, their shoulders brushing. Luna had changed from her office wear to casual sweatpants and oversized tee that said ‘Karma is a cat’ in big bold brightly-colored glittery purple letters. Her hair was packed up in a messy bun. Ashley was dressed almost similarly, except her oversized tee just said ‘Bitch!’ simply, in big bold black, also glittery, letters. Her hair was packed into a messy ponytail.Both sisters laughed at a funny scene on the television screen they were watching.“I just love the way Phoebe always gets Ross every time,” Luna commented, laughing. “It’s not even hard for her.”Ashley laughed too. “And that frustrated/confused look on his face when she teases him? Priceless!”Both sisters fell into fits of laughter again. Luna glanced sideways at Ashley, whose eyes were still shining with her laughter
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Sixty-Eight - The Showing
The next day, Luna walked into the studio space of Honor’s fashion company. Models of different sizes walked about, camera crews and makeup artists set up their equipment. The studio was a buzz of activities, the informal show of the outfits that were going to be showcased in the gala, to the investors now, obviously hadn’t started yet.Luna looked around, taking in the whole place and the way Honor worked. She was forced to admit to herself that it was all very impressive. State of the art equipment, top of the line props and stage sets, ridiculously expensive furnishings, yet tastefully elegant. All, and more, were present in the studio. Honor hadn’t spared any expense, and given the compatibility in which the models were with everything around them, it looked like she never did.A model walked past Luna, she was tall, slim and lean. Her dark skin glowed with the oil subtly gleaming over her arms, she had on a tank top and fitted leggings, her hair was straight, and long, like the
