“Wow,” Luna said as soon as Moira walked far enough away. “That was…. amazing.”Rita shrugged, she sipped her champagne. “Thanks.”“How did you do that?” Luna asked, staring at Rita like she was a mini goddess.“I speak bitch,” Rita replied, turning her head to look at Luna, she smiled at her friend. “I had lots of practice at my old job. When I realized those assholes at Crasters were not going to be letting up on me anytime soon seeing as I was the only woman in a male-dominated company, I had to get creative.”Luna placed a hand over Rita’s hand. She knew her friend so well, so she heard the concealed hurt and bitterness in her voice even though Rita’s words were said carelessly.“I know,” Luna said softly, “and I’m sorry you had to relive all that again because of Moira.”Rita smiled a little, it didn’t reach her eyes, she patted Luna’s hand reassuringly. “You have nothing to apologize for, Moira was the one who brought it up. And besides, I pulled out my guns first.”“Yeah
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Thirty-Five - The Gossips
Luna sipped from her champagne flute as she lazily scanned the party with her eyes. She was determined to take it slow on the drinking tonight, she wasn’t going to get buzzed like the other night.Rita had stepped out to make a call, no doubt something that had to do with the office. Rita took her job very seriously, even more than Luna herself. She was always available 24/7 and she never lets her company phone where she received company calls, out of her sigh for even one minute. The thing was practically glued to her hand.Luna smiled a little, she knew how lucky she was to have someone so dedicated in her corner, she didn’t even need anyone to tell her that.“Poor girl,” Luna heard someone say behind her.Luna turned her head just a little to glance briefly at who was talking, she saw three women standing and talking with champagne flutes in their hands. Luna turned back as the women continued talking.“I know,” another one said, “All that child ever did was suffer in that wit

Flashback.Luna walked back into the hall, she ran her hand gently over her expensive dress again, but this time, the rich material was far from her mind.She was not meant to be here, that fact was starring to sink in. No matter the fact that she had to be here, she wasn’t meant to be here. She wasn’t meant to be here at all.She had just met him, she thought to herself. Just now, on the balcony, she had met him, Justin Lake. Her husband-to-be. And he had looked at her like she was the very thing he hated in the entire world.Luna ran a hand up and down her arm as a chill ran up her spine. Her eyes scanned the hall, Jake was the only person she knew, at least facially. Her eyes landed on Justin, he was talking with a woman. Moira Lake, Luna recognized her.And they were not talking, Luna observed as she watched them, they were arguing. Discreetly, but furiously. And even before Moira looked up and glanced over at her, Luna knew it was her they were arguing about.Justin looked

Present.She hadn’t been lucky, Luna thought to herself now as she remembered that first night. Eileen and her friends had been right, by the time Moira was done with her, Luna could barely recognize herself.For weeks after she returned home, she hadn’t been able to eat very well, she had barely functioned. She had been a ghost of herself. Luna stared into her eyes staring back at her in the mirror of the restroom. She could see shadows of that lost Luna again. Juts faintly, she could see them again. And because of that, she turned away from the mirror.She walked towards the door, she opened it and walked out of the restroom. Just as she entered the hall, the anchor for the party was introducing Moira as he invited her to the stage.“The woman who made all this possible, shareholder and co-founder of Lake Enterprises, the formidable and indomitable….”“ ‘Indomitable’,” Rita said as she walked back in to join Luna, she scoffed, “I guess we know who hired him.”Luna looked ove

“I cannot believe this,” Rita said as Cash took the stage and Moira’s former position in front of the microphone. He started to introduce himself. “I cannot believe this,” Rita said again. “Can you believe this, Luna?”Luna could only stare at Cash up on the stage as he gave his speech. He had on his face a smile Luna knew he thought was charming, but that she had only always found smarmy. She glanced at Moira, who was smiling at Cash like he was her favorite son.“And, although I don’t like to speak ill of my former co-workers, but they went along with my former boss’s decision to fire me,” Cash was saying. He shrugged and sighed, looking downcast. “It was not a healthy environment for me to work in, I’m sure it is alright for the others who work there, but it wasn’t for me.”Moira put a hand on his shoulder like she was comforting him, Cash looked at her and smiled, he patted her hand.“Which is why I’m glad to be part of the Lake family, as the elegant Mrs. Moira Lake had put i
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Thirty-Nine - The Afterthought
The next day, Luna leaned back in her chair, she was in her office, Rita was there too. Luna flicked her favorite pen between her fingers as she thought. She and Rita were trying to think of a satisfactory way to deal with Moira, to pay her back for her little stunt at her party the night before.“We could steal one of her employees too,” Luna suggested.“And have one of those beady eyes employee working for her to come and spy on us here?” Rita scoffed and shook her head, “No. No, we need something that will burn her, some sort of project or thing she loves and puts her heart into it.”Luna looked at her friend dryly. “First of all, Moira Lake doesn’t have a heart,” she said, “ergo, she doesn’t have the capacity to love anything the way you’re suggesting. Family is the only exception to her. And secondly, I don’t want to burn her, I want to crush her.”Luna’s hand tightened on her pen as she thought about it. Moira Lake has been a thorn in her side from the moment she set eyes on

Luna smiled at her friend. “How did you get to be so wise?”Rita shrugged, a sly smile on her face as she leaned back in her own chair.“Years and years of badass living myself,” she replied, confidence in her every word. “No one else can be me, I don’t want to be anybody else. Also, I can’t be anyone else, because life is balanced. If no one else can be me, then I can’t be anyone else. Except the person I made myself to be. That, we have power over.”Luna looked at Rita. “You are wise,” she said bemusedly.Rita shrugged again. “I told you, badass living. Anyway, so are you up for it again? Our revenge plan against Moira?”Luna shrugged. “I don’t know. I am not afraid of becoming her anymore, that’s no longer it. Like you said, I am who I am, and I can’t be anyone else. I don’t want to be anyone else. And that’s precisely why I don’t feel like doing the revenge anymore. Moira is the type of person who does the kind of petty stuff she did at the party last night, I’m not. I’ll jus
A Second Life With The Billionaire Chapter Forty-One - The Fiancée
“I can’t believe I didn’t see this,” Rita said minutes later.Moira had left, and Rita had burst into Luna’s office mere seconds later with her tablet in her hand, and the stock reports on the screen. One look at Luna’s face had told Rita that Luna already knew. They were back to seating the way they had been before Moira walked in.“I should have seen this,” Rita said again, anger at herself evident in her tone.Luna just closed her eyes wearily, she opened them again and looked at her best friend.“You shouldn’t beat yourself up too much. No one can know Moira’s secret unless she wants them to know her secrets.”“That bitch,” Rita said venomously. “Revenge is looking good right about now, isn’t it?”Luna shrugged. “Maybe.”“How are you not mad about this?!” Rita exploded when Luna doesn’t say anything more.“Of course I’m mad about it,” Luna countered.“You sure aren’t showing it,” Rita complained.“I’m mad, I’m just not beating myself up about it the way you’re doing,” Lu
