Billionaire's Divine Match Chapter 32: What Are You Doing To Me?
Back at the mansion, Luna was seated in the sunroom with a book in her hand. Aareil entered with a tray of tea; she had a warm smile on her face. “Hello ma’am, you’ve been quiet today. Mind to share what you’ve been thinking about?” Ariel asked as she gently placed the tray on the stool beside Luna.“Well, I’m just reflecting, I guess,” Luna replied with a faint smile as she closed the book and set it aside.“Reflecting? Hmm.. On what exactly?”“On how strange life can be. I never imagined myself here, in this house, with... him.”“I admit that Mr. Jasper is difficult, yes, but I think you’ve broken a bit of the code. You’ve managed to get through to him in ways no one else has.”“I have?” Luna asked, chuckling softly.“Of course you have. Haven’t you noticed the way he looks at you recently? Well, if you haven’t, I have noticed his unusual movements. He even listens to you in ways he doesn't listen to anyone.” Ariel replied as she poured the tea into the teacup and handed it over to

“I never asked for your goddamn love, all I needed was your fucking signature on that piece of paper. We both know you're here for the money, so just stop acting like you care. You can suck up your filthy love down your throat” Jasper shouted as he flung and smashed the plate of food Luna just served him against the wall, turned, and left the room.His bloodshot eyes held a cold detachment, they narrowed into slits, boring her with a look that could cut metal.Luna should have gotten used to this attitude by now but his words always cut deeper than any sword could. Luna swallowed hard, her hands trembling slightly as she tried to keep her emotions in check. Of course, she was here for the money, but she had hoped that love would set in just like in movies and fairy tale stories.Sitting helplessly at the far end of the room below the window frame, Luna clenched her fists at her sides, fighting back tears that formed in her eyes, with regret she recalled how it all started.Flashback:

Back to presentLuna felt a bit cold as she sat on the floor, she quickly stood up and sat on the couch in the room. Lost in thought she stared at the sky that was filled with twinkling little stars and the cold that rushed in through the window made her wrap her arms around herself. Her gaze immediately turned to the door when she heard the sound of the room door opening.Jasper who had earlier left the house angrily stepped in and slammed the door behind him. Luna's heart skipped a bit as she stared at a six-foot-tall man who had a powerful and intimidating build standing with his unreadable expression. He walked straight to the couch and sat right in front of her, the stench of alcohol lingered in the air, and his drunken dark ice-cold eyes pierced at her. His presence was scary which made her move backward but it didn't stop him from brushing her hair gently. Luna quivered from his touch as his hands slowly went down her neck, then to her shoulder. She felt vulnerable as she tried

“Hmmmm…. a contract marriage, should I talk to Mrs. Jane? Will she accept my proposal? I don't know if she'll but I just have to try, I just have to” Luna concluded in her thoughts but just as she was about to approach Mrs. Jane, a sharp thought made her pause.“Luna, are you sure this is the right decision? Common girl, you don't even know the man in question, and besides you've always believed in true love.“But it's a contract marriage and it's just for a year.”“What if something else is involved in this contract?” Luna's thoughts bombarded each other, so many questions crossed her mind"Argggghhhh… I need the money" She let out a silent cry as she lifted her soft palm to her face, hitting her forehead with it in frustration.Standing right in front of Mrs. Jane, Luna's thoughts still clashed.“I'm done with today's chores Mrs. Jane. I'll take my leave now" Luna managed to say, closing out the voices that tumbled in her head.“Go ahead Luna and don't be late tomorrow” Jane caution

“How could you Jane? Is that how you think of me?" Her voice shook with barely restrained fury, each word spat out as though it burned her tongue.“Gosh..!" Luna's heart skipped a bit."Why is she so pissed? I hope she doesn't reject me” Luna prayed silently.“Hey Sophia, calm down, it hasn't gotten to that. That is why I wanted us to talk things through when you come over”."There's nothing to talk about Jane, replace her immediately, that's final Jane" she flared and hung up the phone not letting Jane say a word."Did she just hang up on me? Sophia? I can't believe I was even trying to help you, asshole. Mtchewwww” she hissed and tossed the phone on the couch. Immediately her attention was drawn to Luna who had been standing quietly at the corner of the sitting room all this while listening to her conversation with Sophia. She saw the depressed expression on her face and for once felt pity for the young lady.“There's nothing I can do Luna, just forget about the deal. It's off" She

“Mrs. Jane, did you say I… I...” Luna who didn’t expect the call so soon, stammered in confusion.“Are you deaf or what? Come here right now.” Jane screamed at the top of her lungs and hung up the phone.“Yes… yes… it worked.” overjoyed Luna jumped around the hospital room, it was a dream come true.“Ms. Luna, please keep your voice down, you’re disturbing other patients.” a nurse who passed by beckoned on Luna.“Ohh, I’m so, so sorry, I forgot it’s a hospital.” Luna placed her palm over her mouth as she apologized for her behavior. She immediately turned to her unconscious, “Mum it worked, it worked,” she whispered and raised her hands in excitement. “I’ll go now mum, I have to get to Mrs. Jane before she changes her mind. See you soon.” She pecked her mum's forehead and dashed out of the hospital, she waved down a taxi, take me to Wall Street.”The journey from the hospital to Mrs. Jane's house was like forever, it was Halloween which caused a lot of traffic. What was meant to be a

"But… I've been here for over 30 minutes now” "Sadly, I didn't see you when I walked in a few minutes ago. I thought you were just a latecomer, are you a liar too?” "Excuse me?” "You heard me right young lady. And I don't have time for this.” He stood up, adjusted his suit, and left the room. "No. No. No. Please don't go, Sir, I need this deal more than you think and I'll do whatever you want me to do but please don't cut off the deal, I beg you" Luna’s makeup was ruined by the tears that ran out of her eyes without her permission. “Do you now admit you were late?" “Yes… yes Sir, I was late and I'm sorry I told a lie." Luna apologized sincerely, not wanting to anger Jasper for the second time. “Then it's settled, but next time, I won't take this from you. Have I made myself clear?" Luna responded with a nod. “I didn't get you," Jasper said. “Yes, I understand Mr. Jasper,” Luna spoke calmly as wiped the tears from her face. “He just made me admit to a lie, what kind

"I'm sorry I couldn't hold her back, she insisted on going to wherever she was going alone” "Did she mention where she was headed?” "No, Mr. Jasper, she didn't say a word of it. She just left her things in the car and left" “Hmmm, alright Josh. You can take her things to the house, I'll be there in 5” Jasper said as he hung up in anger. He tightly pursed his lips, his face had a stony expression, and his eyes had a distant gaze. He was pissed, he couldn't recall when the last someone disobeyed his orders, but his newly married wife did. No one disobeys the CEO of Maksoft technology, absolutely, no one. Seated in the taxi, Luna's mind raced, her heart was heavy with a mix of relief and fear, and the car, even though it was moving fast, seemed to be moving slowly toward her. Each red light, each slow car in front, seemed to extend the agonizing wait. Luna walked briskly to the room where her mother lay, her face pale and drawn, but her eyes were open. Luna rushed to her mother's s

The Maksoft Technology conference room had activities going on. Evans and Harriet prepared for their presentation session with Jasper. The room had a slight scent of freshly brewed coffee; the humming sound from the projector filled the room as Harriet and Evans tested the presentation slides. A few minutes later, Jasper walked into the room, his black suit hung perfectly on his body as he walked to the head of the conference room table, pulled out a seat, and sat down.“Right on time, boss.” Evans hailed as he adjusted his suit and straightened himself.“Good. Spare me the formalities—I want updates and results. Let's get to it. What do you have for me?” Jasper said as he opened the documents that were laid on the table before him.“Oh, you’re going to love this, boss,” Evans replied as he leaned back in his chair.“We’ve been working hard on rolling out the loyalty program to the top ten suppliers. Here’s where we stand as of today.” Harriet smoothed her blazer as she stood up to pr

Jasper ignored their reactions. “We need to lock in our key suppliers and clients with multi-year agreements before Gregor gets to them. Contracts that offer performance-based bonuses, fast delivery guarantees, early payment discounts, and possibly special benefits for our top-tier partners.“Hmm.. it’s not a bad strategy at all. This suggestion shifts the conversation from price wars to value-added benefits.” Harriet said thoughtfully.“And it puts the pressure back on Gregor. I don’t think he can compete on speed or reliability without cutting his margins.” Evans chipped in as he scribbled something in his notebook.“Plus, it plays to the tone of Maksoft Technology's strengths. We might not be the top tech company, but we’ve been known for our efficiency.”“And our charm, of course.” Evans grinned at his joke.“Try to contain your charm, Evans,” Jasper replied, dressing forward on his seat.Harriet laughed slightly, while Evans pretended to be angry as both of them stared at each ot
Billionaire's Divine Match Chapter 29: Why Do You Hate Me So Much?
After finishing breakfast, Luna decided to walk around in the garden. Since she was grounded, the garden has been one of the few places in the mansion where she found solace. She usually went there to calm her nerves, but today she went there to let in the peace she had always longed for. The neatly trimmed flowers and the calm sound of water falling from the central fountain made the environment serene with suited her mode. She strolled along the stone path as her thoughts replayed her encounter with Jasper at breakfast. “Was that all a show or has there sincerely been a shift?” she mumbled beneath her breath.Just then, her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of heels clicking against the stones on the path. Luna’s heart sank as she turned and stood face-to-face with Sophia. She might have dealt with Jasper’s cold nature a bit, but Sophia’s torment was not what she needed at the moment. Sophia wore a spotless ivory suit, and her face carried an unreadable look, although there was
Billionaire's Divine Match Chapter 28: We Should Celebrate
The next morning, the sunlight shone through the tall windows, casting a warm glow into the dining room. Ariel moved briskly between the dining room and the kitchen, arranging breakfast. She had woken late that day, and it was quite unusual. Luna entered quietly; she wore a lavender dress that flowed behind her as she moved.“Good morning, ma'am.” Ariel greeted Luna with a warm smile.“Good morning, Ariel. Has Jasper gone to work?” “No, ma’am, he hasn’t come down for breakfast yet,” Ariel replied as she wiped her hands on her apron, her face holding her usual cheerful expression.“Jasper? He’s usually gone to work by now.” Luna replied, looking a bit surprised. “That’s… unusual.” Luna tilted her head.Ariel shrugged slightly, then continued setting the table. The last thing she wanted to experience was Sophia's early morning wrath. Luna took her seat and reached for the jug of orange juice when the sound of approaching footsteps made her pause. Her heart skipped, then raced afterward
Billionaire's Divine Match Chapter 27: I Need Answers
Luna was shocked to hear Jasper's voice; she never expected he'd come to his study that night. She quickly closed the journal, clutched it to her chest, then turned to face him.“Are you dumb or what? I just asked you a question.” Jasper asked with a wild look; his veins visibly bulged out as he boiled in anger.“I-I I'm sorry, Jasper; I didn't mean to intrude but—” Luna paused, her hands trembling; she didn't know what to say so as not to piss him off."But what, Luna? What exactly are you doing here?“I… I needed to understand, Jasper. I was confused; so many thoughts came to my head; I felt lost at some point, and I needed answers. I didn't know what came over me, but I felt I could get answers here.” Luna let it all out; the words poured from her heart.“You needed answers? Answers to what exactly? Jasper asked coldly.“I'm sorry, Jasper, but I found this in your drawer." Luna moved sideways and dropped the journal on the desk. The expression on Jasper's face darkened, he clenched

“What did you just say, ma’am?” Ariel asked curiously.“Yes, Ariel. I want to leave. Can’t you see what I’m going through? I know I need the money for my mother’s treatment, but all these insults are uncalled for.” Luna cried out, tears rushing out of her eyes as the pains she felt speculated around her body.“I know exactly how you feel, ma’am, I—”"No, you don’t, Ariel. Stop saying you know how I feel because you don’t. Every day I try hard to make Jasper see my worth and love me for who I am, but what do I get in return, rejection? I get rejected over and over again. Do you know how that feels? And now, his mother dislikes me totally. How in the world am I to cope? How Ariel?” She bent her head over the table and cried out her heart. Ariel went close to her and parted her back while she lamented in pain. “It burns in my chest, Ariel; I just want it to stop. Please make it stop, please... She spoke in between sobs.“Please, don’t let it break you, ma’am. You’re stronger than this.
Billionaire's Divine Match Chapter 25: It’s Time To Leave This Marriage
The dining room glowed with the light from the chandelier. Beautiful chinaware and golden ware were set on the table. Ariel added the finishing touches by placing fresh lilies in the center of the table and surrounding it with lighted candles. Luna stood at the corner of the room and watched Ariel do what she knew how to do best. Jasper walked in with a plain expression on his face, his hands fixed in his pockets as he strolled to one of the seats at the dining table and sat comfortably. Luna followed suit, but she sat opposite Jasper. Sophia walked into the room like royalty, her eyes scanning the details of the setup of the dining. She curved her small lips and smirked, nodding her head simultaneously in approval.“At least someone in this house understands the importance of presentation. You've done well, Ariel," Sophia mentioned as she sank into the chair at the head of the table.“Thank you, Mrs. Mason. I wanted everything to look perfect for your first dinner here after a very
Billionaire's Divine Match Chapter 24: The Storm Is Here
Luna sat quietly as she sipped her tea, her thoughts traveled to all her efforts so far, how she has tried to find little cracks on the walls he has surrounded himself with so she could break through, but so far, all her efforts meant nothing. Jasper walked back inside after his call, sat back on his seat and started eating silently as he scrolled through his tablet.After a few minutes, he dropped the tablet on the table, then he stared at Luna.“My mother will visit and stay for a couple of weeks. She'll arrive tomorrow morning." He said calmly. This was the first time Jasper has ever sounded calm. Luna blinked at his statement, she was caught off guard. She had not expected in her wildest dreams that Sophia would be visiting any time soon.“Oh… I see. Will she be staying here at the Mansion?” Luna said, trying to be careful with her words.“Of course. Where else would she stay?” Jasper replied impatiently.“Alright, I'll make the necessary arrangements for her.”“Make sure you do.
