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

    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

    Early the next morning, Jasper noticed Luna's absence at breakfast; only his mother showed up. Before now, Jasper wouldn't bother to ask after her, but that day was different. He had suddenly taken an interest in her.“Where's Luna?" Jasper asked, directing the question to practically no one. Ariel didn't know if she should say a word, but then Sophia replied before she could even give it a thought.“Uh. She should be lazing around somewhere. I have never seen someone so jobless.” Sophia scoffed.“Ariel," Jasper called out, ignoring his mother.“Sir." “Where is Luna? Why isn't she here for breakfast?" He asked with a stern look on his face.“Ohh. About that, She's in the garden. She earlier said she'd like to take a stroll before having breakfast.”"Taking a stroll in the garden before breakfast? That sounds…” Jasper paused, dropped the cutleries in his hands, wiped his mouth, then stood up and walked towards the exit to the garden. He walked into the garden expecting to see the usua

    At Maksoft Technology Company, the morning started with tension. Staff had woken up to so many unusual headlines. Some looked like;“Exposed: Maksoft Technology Company Has Been Linked to Exploitative Labor Practices”“Are Maksoft Technology Company Profits and High Standards True? Check Out The Recent Allegations of Inflated Reports.”“Maksoft Technology Company Faces Accusations For Their Dubious Practices. Withholding Suppliers Payments is A No No. Check out The Full Story.”Unimaginable amount of calls poured in from every angle. The moment Jasper walked into the reception, everyone paused and stared at him. He stared at them and wondered why the whole place looked so busy. “What's going on here?" He thought to himself. Then he walked past everyone and entered his office, still wondering what the strange gaze from his employees was all about.“Why does he look so calm as though nothing is happening?" one of the staff members whispered to her colleague.“It seems he's not aware of

    Later that evening, Jasper came home looking exhausted. Luna was in the kitchen assisting Ariel as they both discussed the news that had spread about Maksoft Technology Company that day. Jasper walked into the mansion and then straight to his room, not minding where everyone was. He quickly had a shower and then went straight to his study. He hoped to get clues on what to do about Gregor's attack.A few moments later, Luna stood at the entrance of the study. She stared at Jasper, who was engrossed in reviewing documents on his laptop. He looked exhausted, and it seemed that what happened that day had affected him badly. Luna didn't know if he would like anyone to disturb him, so she hesitated a bit before stepping into the room.“Jasper?" She called calmly with a soft voice. He raised his head from the laptop, looked up, and glanced at Luna. His usual cold expression was replaced with a troubled expression.“What is it, Luna?""I saw the news... about the company. I'm sorry about that

    Back at the mansion, Luna had patiently listened to Jasper's press conference, and she admired not only his courage and brave composure but also his tall, handsome nature. She loved his masculine build, and she wished he would just be a husband to her rather than a cold, detached human. She had also followed up with the online community and what people said. She was glad everything went well, but she was still not satisfied. She waited patiently for his return.Jasper arrived home late in the evening; his tie was loosened, and he placed his suit jacket around his neck. He was exhausted from the day's activities. He slowly walked upstairs and walked towards his room. As he walked past the sunroom, he noticed the door was open. “Who could be up at this time of the night?” He pondered as he walked into the room.“You're up late." "I wanted to hear how it went,” Luna replied as she put down the book she pretended to be reading on the table.“Well, you probably already know. The press con

    Harriet sat in Jasper’s office as she placed a call across to Mr. Wilson's assistant. She needed to set up a meeting for Jasper as soon as possible. Once Wilson's PA picked up the call, Harriet set it on loudspeaker so Jasper could hear their conversation.“Hello, I'm Harriet, the Chief Strategy Officer at Maksoft Technology Company.”"Hello Harriet, I'm Caroline. How may I help you today?“My boss, Mr. Jasper, would love to have a meeting with your boss; please could you arrange for that? It's very urgent.”"Oh. I'm sorry, Harriet, but my boss is pretty occupied today. He won't be taking any more appointments today.”"You know what? Just forget the formalities. My boss really needs to see Mr. Jack; it's very urgent. Please help him out, I beg of you," Harriet pleaded over the phone."I–I understand, but... there's nothing I can do. He's. He's currently not at the office. Please bear with me.” Caroline stammered over the phone, it was clear she was lying, and someone was telling her w

    Jasper walked out of Jack's office feeling a bit relieved. They've been partners for God knows how long, and he wouldn't let Gregor get a hold of him just like that. He had to move fast and get results too. “I need a miracle," he mumbled as he walked to his car. Luke, as usual, followed from behind.That evening, Jasper returned home looking tired. By now, he was used to the fact that Luna always sat in the sunroom at that time. He paused at the door, peeped through the slightly opened door, and found her writing down something on paper. “What could she be doing?" He got curious and stepped into the room.“And what are you drafting out this time?" he asked in a calm tone. Luna raised her head, looking a bit startled; she hadn't noticed him walking in. “You're back. Welcome, Jasper. I've been working on something special; why don't you take a look?" She said as she handed him a folder.Jasper hesitated a bit before collecting the folder from Luna's hand; he wondered what could be insid

    Later that evening, Jasper sat in the living room while he scrolled through his tablet. A moment later, Sophia returned from a shopping trip she had earlier gone on with friends. Ariel helped take her luggage upstairs as she sat elegantly on the sofa opposite where Jasper sat.“Welcome, mum." Jasper greeted her nonchalantly without lifting his head from his tablet.“Thank you, my son," Sophia replied.“Can I get a cup of coffee?" She asked as Ariel made to leave.“Sure Ma. I'll get it right away." Ariel replied, walking briskly to the kitchen. She came back, carrying a tray containing a cup of coffee. “Here you go, Ma,” she said as she set the tray on a stool beside Sophia.Sophia nodded slightly, lifted the cup, and sipped from it as her eyes swept across the room.Turning to Jasper, she broke the silence. “I hear your so-called wife has been meddling in business matters.”“Luna isn't meddling. She's helping." Jasper replied calmly without lifting his head." Helping? Urgh!” She scof

    Victoria's voice gave Jasper pause. He pinched the bridge of his nose with his left hand, with his back turned to her. “The meeting is over, Victoria. Any observation or suggestion should have been brought up during the meeting. We would have analyzed them with the help of all members of our joint team. Cohesion is our watchword. And for that to be achieved, all members should table their concerns during general meetings.” Jasper stated bluntly and a bit curtly.Victoria leaned back in her chair, the polished mahogany desk between her and Jasper. She sighed, brushing a loose strand of hair behind her ear. “ The meeting addressed all my concerns. I don't have any suggestions or observations. I asked you to stay back because of another matter.” Victoria said with a sigh, she suddenly looked tired. Jasper turned and saw the look of worry on her face, he could tell that she had been battling some internal demons. He approached the desk and sat down opposite her .Victoria continued sol

    Jasper woke up with a start. He heaved a sigh of relief as he pinched the bridge of his nose, while staring at the ceiling. He looked at Luna. She was sleeping peacefully, her face angelic and calm as her chest rose and dropped with each steady breath. Jasper sat up gently, left the bed and walked over to a chair situated in the corner of the room. He sat down with a huff and pressed his fingers to his temples. He had been dreaming. Dreaming about being chased in the forest by masked gunmen. “Luke was right. Trauma, if bottled up, would eventually fester and be problematic in the future.” Jasper whispered to himself. He looked at the wall clock mounted on the wall opposite him. He had to prepare for work. He had a team meeting with Victoria Stefan. With a heavy heart and mind, he stood up and walked out of the room. Before he closed the door, he looked at Luna once again. She stirred once, but was soon fast asleep. He closed the door quietly behind him and walked towards his own ro

    Luna crawled slowly, sizing Jasper up as she went. She was like an entirely new being. She felt powerful, she felt invincible. She wanted to imprint her insignia on something, someone. She watched Jasper, enjoying the look of panic that was evident on his face. He tried his best to mask his emotions, but she could read through. Like a primal beast, she could smell it.He was unnerved. As she got closer to him, she could smell his musk, stimulating and erotic. She could see the tent in his pants. He looked uncomfortable and she knew the effect that she had on him at that moment. She felt powerful indeed. She climbed onto his laps and straddled him. His member poked at her butt. It was hard and ready. She gently and rhythmically moved her butt over it, stimulating herself and him. A throaty moan escaped Jasper's lips as he grabbed her butt, his fingers digging into the fabric of her shorts. He pulled her close, squeezing her butts aggressively.Jasper attempted to flip her over, but sh

    "Who is Victoria?" The question was repeated. Luna’s voice was soft, but there was an edge to it.Jasper studied her closely, her arms were loosely crossed, eyes searching his face. She wasn’t angry. She was… concerned. That made it worse."Victoria is the CEO of Frontier Space, a tech firm that I recently signed a contract with. Her firm embodies the qualities that I need in order to propel my firm to greater heights." Jasper explained. "We have a team meeting tomorrow and she just wanted to check in."Luna nodded slowly. There was a look of hurt on her face, but she quickly straightened up. “Okay. That's all?” There was no accusation in her tone. But Jasper felt it like a weight on his chest. He walked toward her, reaching for her hand, but she didn’t take it immediately."It's strictly business.” He stated. “ And I wasn't entirely forthcoming with the truth. Remember the whole Mali situation? The attempted kidnapping? Well, she was also a victim. We managed to escape together. Her

    “Jasper” Victoria said with a seductive tone. “I was beginning to think that you were avoiding me.” She stated.Jasper sighed. “Victoria, now's not a good time.” He said, rubbing his forehead.“Oh?” She hesitated. “You sound off. Is everything okay?”Jasper exhaled. He didn’t want to explain. Didn’t want to open that door. “It's personal. What do you need?”“Well,” she huffed, “your secretary hasn't contacted mine about the team meeting. I've been waiting, Jasper.”Jasper shut his eyes. He tried to steady his breath. His emotions were almost overwhelming. “I'll look into it.” He stated flatly.Victoria could feel the gloom in Jasper's voice. “Jasper, what's the problem?” She inquired softly. There was silence on Jasper's end of the call. Victoria could hear his attempt at stabilizing his breaths. After a moment of tense silence, Jasper replied. “My wife's mother just died. Today has been a rollercoaster of a day.” “My condolences to your wife.” Victoria stated, remorse evident in he

    The hospital air was thick with antiseptic and grief, a suffocating combination that made Luna’s chest tighten as she and Jasper hurried down the long, sterile corridor. Each step felt heavier than the last. The beeping of machines, the hushed murmurs of nurses, the distant sound of someone sobbing—it all blurred together as she approached the ICU. Jasper was right beside her, his hand firmly holding hers, his grip strong yet gentle. But even his warmth couldn’t stop the dread curling in her stomach. As they reached the nurses' station, Elizabeth, her mother’s caregiver, stood waiting. The sorrow in her eyes was enough to send Luna into a panic. No. No. No. Elizabeth stepped forward, her hands trembling. “Luna…” she started, voice thick with emotion. Luna’s breath hitched. “Where is she?” she asked, her voice barely above a whisper. Elizabeth’s lips quivered, “I’m so sorry. She’s gone.” The world around her tilted. “No,” Luna whispered, stepping back, shaking her head.

    Luna was finally discharged from the hospital. Jasper was there to pick her up himself. He spent a few minutes listening to the doctor drone about the need for her to get enough bedrest. Jasper thanked the doctor and promised to calm him if any complications arose. Jasper helped Luna get into the car. After that, they drove off towards Jasper's mansion, home.The drive home was quiet and uneventful. Occasionally, Jasper had to glance over at Luna to make sure that she was okay. The silence in the car was unnerving. Jasper sighed. Knowing Luna, Jasper had an idea of what was eating her up. “Bunny. Is it Mali?” He asked gently and he reached for her hands with his free one. Luna turned to face him. Tears were welling up in her eyes. She nodded her head and the tears dripped down her face. She was shaking. “ You said you almost didn't make it out of Mali… I'm trying to come to terms with my life without you… I know ……I don't …I…I …” she broke down in tears. Jasper parked the car, jer

    Jasper adjusted the cuffs of his tailored suit, taking a deep breath before stepping out of the car. He stood at the entrance of his building's door. It felt strange being back after so long. He chuckled silently to himself. “Damn. I can't believe that it's only been a week of absence but it felt like decades.” Jasper whispered to himself.He pushed the door and stepped in. The moment he walked through the glass doors, a wave of applause erupted."Welcome back, boss!" someone called."Good to have you here, sir," another added.Jasper was surprised. He wasn't expecting any form of rehearsed welcome. He had only been gone for a week. Nevertheless, he smiled and nodded in acknowledgment at his employees. The welcome was reassuring. The company had survived without him, but now, it was time to thrive. Jasper walked towards the elevator which was going to convey him to his office floor. Beverly, his secretary, stood up as he walked through the door.“Good morning sir. Welcome back. I hav

    Luna blinked at him, struggling to gather strength. “I heard… Mali… terrorists…” Her voice was hoarse, her breathing shallow. “You could’ve died, Jasper.”Jasper squeezed her hand gently. “But I didn’t. I’m right here.”Tears welled in her eyes. “What if you don’t come back next time?”He brushed a strand of hair from her forehead. “Luna, listen to me. I’m not going anywhere. Mali was an impulsive decision which left a sour taste in my mouth. But moving forward, I promise to be more open with you” His voice softened. “I won’t let anything take me away from you.”Luna swallowed hard, her grip tightening around his fingers. “Promise me, Jasper.”“I promise.” His voice was firm, unwavering. “Always.”A soft sigh escaped her lips as exhaustion pulled her back into sleep. Jasper watched her for a long moment before looking up at Luke.Luke exhaled. “You really scared her, man.”Jasper nodded, his expression solemn. “I know.”And as the beeping of the heart monitor filled the silence once m
