"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 of man does that go to his bride in their wedding?" She pondered.

“Good." Jasper, satisfied at what he just did, turned and went back inside the room, Luna followed from behind.

They met the judge waiting patiently for them, and he offered them seats. It was a large ceremony, there were just three people in the room. The judge brought out the contract from an envelope and read out the terms of the contract. Luna took a glance at Jasper but he didn't look interested in staring back as he fixed his gaze on the judge.

After reading through, tension filled the room then he handed over the contract and marriage certificate to Luna. She took the pen and with a deep breath, she signed her name on both papers. Jasper did the same but her signature stood in sharp contrast to her future husband's audacious, self-assured writing. With both signatures crested on both papers, Jasper and Luna sealed their fate.

“Congratulations Mr. and Mrs. Mason, happy married life.” the judge grinned.

This was the moment where there should have been applause or a hug at least, but none of those scenarios played. Luna wasn't sure if was happy or sad, but one thing was sure, she would now have access to her mother's hospital bill and that was enough reason.

“Let's go." Came the cold command from Jasper. Luna followed him without saying a word.

“How come he looks so loving on the outside but he seems to be cruel on the inside? Hope this act is just for today. Probably he's having a rough day which made him act cruelly towards me, it's definitely a rough day,” thoughts lingered in Luna's mind she needed to reassure herself no matter what.

“This is my assistant, Luke, he'll assist you in parking your things at the house today. I don't believe in married couples living apart”

"Today?” Luna asked in surprise.

"Of course. Do you have a problem with that?” Jasper asked and for the first time since they sat in the car, he stared at her. He hadn't noticed her striking beauty all this while.

Luna's face was a work of art, a beautiful fusion of gentle curves and sharp edges. The gentle light appeared to shine on her glowing, perfect skin. He was drawn in by the depth of her captivating brown eyes. Her wide, red-painted lips curled flawlessly, and her eyes were framed by long, black lashes. He couldn't help but feel amazement and wonder as he looked at her. But he kept his thoughts to himself.

“No, not at all I don't have a problem with that,” Luna answered, an atom of uncertainty in her voice.

“Good," Jasper responded nonchalantly as he fixed his gaze on his phone.

"Luke, take me to the office, I've things to close out today. After that, take Luna to her house and when she's done packing her stuff, bring her to the mansion. Don't bother coming to the office, I should be home before you get back.

“Alright Sir, I'll do as you instructed," Luke replied.

The building of Jasper's office stood tall and beautiful and Maksoft technology company was boldly written at the top and its logo stood beside it. “I can only imagine how the inside will look like, it’ll be stunning." Luna imagined.

Jasper alighted from the car and Luke went ahead to drop Luna off at her house so she could pack up her belongings.

Luna didn't have much so packing was very easy but in the process, the ringtone from her phone startled her, worst part, it was an unknown caller. She swiped and answered the call.

“Hello, is this Ms. Luna?" The caller asked

“Yes, am Luna. Who am I speaking with if I may ask?" She twitched trying to identify the voice.

"I'm calling from the hospital, your mother is awake and your attention is needed right away.”

"Mum's awake? Wow, that's good news. I'll be there in 10 minutes. Thank you.” She jumped up and down with excitement.

"Mum's finally awake, I have to rush to the hospital right away." She said smiling.

“But wait, where the hell will I tell Josh I'm going to? I can't tell him my mum is sick, no… no… I won't. Hmmm, I know exactly what to do.” She smiled as she arranged her stuff.

After packing her stuff, she dragged her bag behind her, walked out of the house, and locked the door behind her. Josh who saw her from a distance, rushed towards her and helped her with her bags. He placed them neatly in the boot, closed it, and opened the door for her to go but he noticed she was hesitant in going in.

“Is there something wrong?" Luke asked looking confused.

“You what Luke just go ahead I'll come later. You can send me the address, I'll find my way. I have something urgent to attend to right now.” Luna said trying to remain calm.

“I wouldn't do that if I were you, my boss hates it when people disobey his orders and believe me, you don't want to get on his bad side. I'll suggest you come with me, Ma’am.” Luke advised sincerely.

"Don't worry Luke, I'll be fine and I think I can handle whatever comes up. I'm his wife Luke don't worry at all.” Luna replied smiling, she stopped a taxi and zoomed off to the hospital. Luke shook his head, brought out his phone, and called Jasper.

Jasper who just came out of a meeting and was about to head home felt his phone ring in his pocket. He was surprised to see Luke as the caller ID. “Thought I asked him not to bother about me?" He mumbled.

“What is it Luke," Jasper asked impatiently.

“Ms. Luna isn't coming home with me, she rushed off to attend to an emergency Sir" Luke reported.

“What did I just hear you say?"

    "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

    “Oh my… oh my… shit” she almost screamed. "I totally forgot. Damn!” A wave of panic swept over her as she stared at her wristwatch. "I'm finally doomed. It's 7 am, how did I forget I now have a husband,” she muttered and scratched her hair. “I have to go now, else I might lose this contract. But what in the heavens am I going to tell him now?" She thought. Luna turned and stared at her mum, she was still sleeping. "I have to go now mum, I'll see you soon,” she said as she rushed out of the room. “Nurse, please keep an eye on my mum I'll be back soon" She pleaded with the nurse on duty. “That's alright Ms. Luna, but please don't be late" the nurse replied. "I won't…” she replied, almost on top of her voice as she rushed out of the hospital building. She quickly searched through her phone and found the address Luke sent the previous day, she waved down a taxi, showed him the address, hopped in and the car zoomed off. The journey to the Mason's house seemed like forever, the curiosit

    "Mrs. Luna, is everything alright? Would you like me to take you to your room now?” Luna lifted her head, her eyes all red from a long sob as she stared at Ariel. “At least there's still someone reasonable around here," Luna thought. Ariel's calm voice had melted her heart, she needed to eat it. She tried to wipe the tears from her eyes but couldn't find her wipes.“Here, you can have this." Ariel stretched her handkerchief to Luna. “Thank you. What's your name?" Luna asked as she wiped her face with the handkerchief Ariel had just given her.“Oh, forgive my manners. I'm Ariel, the maid. If you need anything, just call on me,” Ariel replied, smiling broadly. She knew exactly how Luna was feeling. Staying with Mason over the years has taught her to be calm. She had felt the same way when she first came to work for them, but over time, she had gotten used to their cruel behavior. “She'll get used to it," Ariel mumbled as she sighed."Thanks for your kindness, Ariel; I'm grateful,” Luna

    "I think you have a point,” Luna said What Ariel just said sounded a bit odd, but there was a sense in her suggestion. Since Luna can't leave the house without permission, she needs someone to keep an eye on her mother. “I'll let you think about it; you can tell me what you've decided later." “There's no need to think about it; it's a good suggestion, and it seems to be the only way out. Do you by any chance know someone who would be willing to help?”“Well, I think I know someone. I'll talk to her, and then get back to you as soon as possible. I just hope she's still available.""Ariel, please help me talk to her. Please plead with her to make time for my mother. Also, don't forget to get her details; I'd like to know her background too if you don't mind.” "Alright, Mrs. Luna, I'll do as you've instructed.” "Thank you, Ariel, you're such a lifesaver.” Luna hugged her, smiles written all over her face.

    Luna could have sworn she shouted her feelings, but it was all fantasy. Those words stayed where they'd always been—in her mind. She moved closer to her dressing table, where Jasper had dropped the card. “Am I dreaming?” She pinched her palm to make sure she was not, then she picked up the card and stared at it intensively; she stretched her hands and picked up her phone that was at the extreme end of the table. She quickly googled what a black card looked like, and behold, it was truly a black card. A wave of emotions swept over her. Her heart was racing with anticipation. Her fingers trembled slightly as she touched the card's edges. She inhaled deeply and closed her eyes. A grin appeared on her face and grew into a happy one. She had never imagined such a gift. As she imagined the countless chances this card might present for her, tears of joy filled her eyes. “This is a dream come true." She muttered.Suddenly, a sharp knock interrupted her thoughts; she was startled by the echo

    “Yes, your mother is fine.”"Phew… that's good to know." Luna sighed with relief. "To what do I owe you this call?”“The hospital needs you to deposit to commence the treatment; failure to do so might endanger your mother's life.” Came the sharp reply from the caller.“How much am I to deposit?”"You'll have to deposit at least $20,000 before we commence further treatments on her.”“Alright then, I'll make a transfer as soon as possible. Thank you.""You're welcome.” The caller said and then hung up.After the call, she went down to meet Luke. “I'm ready, shall we?" “Of course." “Alright then. Bye, Ariel, see you soon." “See you soon, ma'am," Ariel said as she did a slight wave.Luke opened the door of the car, and Luna sat at the back. He quickly walked to the driver seat, sat down, and turned on the ignition."Do you have any boutique you'd love to go to, ma'am?”"No, Luke, I don't.

    Lizzy suddenly burst into loud laughter. “Hahaha. Come on, Luna, we both know you don't have such an amount of money. I'm sure you've never had such an amount of money in your entire life. You can stop trying to prove what you're not and leave now before you get embarrassed.” Lizzy scorned. She enjoyed bullying people, and Luna was not an exception."With all due respect, young lady, I wouldn't want to waste much time doing nothing, so I'd suggest you leave right now so I can attend to valued customers.” The sales representative said, raising an eyebrow.“What makes you think I can't afford the dress?” Luna asked calmly.“Well, I've dealt with people like you; you all come here boosting that you have money, but in the real sense, you don't have money at all. You've wasted my time already, but it's Ok, I won't escalate it. But do me a favor; just leave now; else I'll call security."

    Luke was pleased with the way Luna handled the whole situation, she was very professional, and although Lizzy had mentioned that Luna was a maid, he found it very difficult to accept. For all he knows, this lady is calm, calculative, and professional, there was no way a maid would have pulled what just happened off. “Luke." "Yes, ma'am," Luke responded sharply. Luna had just called him out of his deep thoughts.“Please take me to Rochester General Hospital.”"The hospital, are you alright, ma'am? I could call my boss if you wish.”"No. No. No. Don't call him, in fact, don't ever tell him you took me to the hospital. Please, I beg of you. I'm fine, I just need to see someone.” Luna replied."Alright, ma'am, if you say so," Luke replied. “Probably she doesn't want him to know of her visit to the hospital, I just hope all is well, and I also hope Mr. Jasper won't find out." Luke thought.“Please wait here I'll be right back. I won't take long." Luna told Luke as she turned and walked b

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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.

    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

    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.
