Luna and Lucas fell silent, pondering the encounter with the little child at the traditional market a few hours ago. "Are you sure about what you saw and said?" Arka asked, causing Lucas to look at him with a raised eyebrow. "Do you doubt me?" Lucas inquired, prompting Arka to let out a long sigh. "I'm not doubting you, I'm just curious. Which child did you see? Didn't you ask for their name?" Arka questioned. Perhaps if Lucas had known the child's identity, Arka could have asked around the local residents about the child. But the reality was, Lucas had forgotten that crucial detail and instead focused on what the child meant. "If only you had asked for their name, maybe I could've gathered information about the child from the locals," Arka said, making Lucas sigh deeply. He then thought about what the child had said. While he had ignored Maruna's words before, he wouldn't make the same mistake twice. Lucas kept wondering about the meaning behind the child's words – whether there t
Lucas and Arka rushed towards the veranda upon hearing Luna's scream from outside. "Honey, what happened?" Lucas asked, seeing Luna sitting there with a fearful expression, her gaze fixed towards the beach. Luna immediately stood up and rushed into Lucas's embrace, and he responded by holding her tightly and gently stroking her back, trying to calm her down."What's wrong?" Lucas inquired again, causing Luna to look at him with wide eyes, fear evident on her face and sweat dampening her forehead."She's... She's over there," Luna stammered, pointing towards the beach. Arka followed her gesture, scanning the entire shoreline, but there was no one there except a few birds flying by."There's no one there," Arka stated, causing Luna to release her hold on Lucas and look at the beach again. She swept her gaze across the entire stretch, trying to confirm what she had seen earlier. However, Arka was right; there was no one standing there. Afterward, Luna checked her phone to confirm and inf
Luna got off the bed and rushed towards the bathroom as something churned within her stomach. She immediately vomited clear fluid into the sink. She felt a sensation of everything in her stomach coiling and rising up through her throat, causing her to expel whatever was causing discomfort. Only clear liquid came out.Luna then splashed her face with water and gazed at herself in the mirror. She felt her face was slightly thinner and paler. She touched her cheeks, wondering if she really looked more gaunt. She thought that perhaps the recent events had taken a toll on her, leading to a slight weight loss.After wiping her face, Luna turned to walk back into the bedroom. Her steps paused when she saw someone outside the window, walking towards the beach. Luna hastened her pace towards the window to get a better view. She didn't want her vision to be considered a fabrication again."Hey, wait there!" Luna called out to the little girl she had met along with James at the traditional marke
Lucas gently felt around his bed for Sisi, his hand searching for her presence, but he couldn't sense Luna's presence. This prompted him to open his eyes and scan the room."Honey," Lucas called out softly, attempting to summon Luna. However, after waiting for a moment, the lack of response from Luna led Lucas to finally get out of bed and search for her. He headed to the living room where Arka was sitting, reading a newspaper, accompanied by a warm cup of tea."Have you seen Luna?" Lucas inquired, causing Arka to fold his newspaper and place it on the table. Arka then glanced at his wristwatch, which showed it was around 7 o'clock in the morning."Isn't it too early for your wife to be out of the house?" Arka replied, causing Lucas to fall silent. After a week of living with Arka, he at least knew Luna's habit of not waking up before 8 in the morning, and it seemed Arka had noticed this routine as well."But she's not in the room," Lucas replied, causing Arka to stand up from his sea
Luna began to blink her eyes as she felt a throbbing pain in her head, causing her to wince while clutching her head. She tried to clear her vision, surveying her surroundings. It was an unfamiliar place. Luna was certain she had never been here before.Currently, Luna finds herself in a room that could be described as a chamber dominated by dark colors, and it feels very cold. Luna's eyes widen as she recalls something that happened earlier. She vividly remembers conversing with a little girl in the middle of the city, but suddenly someone covered her mouth. After that, Luna's patience wore thin and she had no idea where this person was taking her. Eventually, Luna regains consciousness, opens her eyes, and realizes she's in an unfamiliar place.However, Luna is surprised that despite being kidnapped, she is in good condition. There are no restraints or a gag; she's comfortably sleeping on a prepared bed. Luna slowly tries to lower her feet from the bed while remaining cautious, scan
Luna closes her eyes as her body is enveloped in the warmth of the bathwater. Her head has been throbbing intensely for the past few days, burdened by all the thoughts and events that have been happening to her recently. It seems that soaking in the warm water isn't a bad idea to relieve the stress she's currently experiencing.However, her eyes snap wide open as she hears something within the room. Luna immediately exits the bathtub and rushes, paying no mind to her unclothed body. She opens the bathroom door, only to find the main room's door closed and locked from the outside. Luna runs forward, disregarding her lack of clothing, and continues to pound on the door while attempting to open the locked handle.Her attention is then drawn to the broken glass and scattered food, now miraculously cleaned up. Luna thinks that a servant must have been assigned to clean her room earlier. She falls silent, realizing that she's utterly naked, prompting her to dash back to the bathroom. Doesn'
For the past two days, Lucas has been unable to think clearly. He's even struggling to sleep and eat, needing to be persuaded by Arka or Leon. Not for two days now. Luna hasn't been found. The local Police Chief has gotten involved in combing through every forest around Arka's house and even the nearby ports have been checked. No signs of foreign residents or tourists entering or leaving during the time Luna went missing.Lucas has already deployed his professional team to handle Luna's disappearance. Both Luna and Lucas's extended families have not been exempt from the news of Luna's disappearance, and they've tried every possible way to find her. Lucas has even called upon Carlos to come to Indonesia; he truly needs an assistant to manage everything. For him, his company is not as important as Luna's safety. Carlos is here to help him handle all matters related to Luna's disappearance. Carlos is reliable in every situation and affair, and Lucas trusts him deeply as his right-hand ma
Luna opened her eyes wide, her breath racing, as suddenly she found herself leading the little girl she had met in the forest a few days ago. Luna looked around the dimly lit room, her heart racing, and immediately sat up and turned on the lamp. For some reason, she felt a shiver run down her spine. The dim light combined with the dark-toned room gave it a mysterious atmosphere that enveloped her.Luna then shifted her gaze around the spacious room, making sure there was no one else in the room besides herself. She felt a sense of fear. After a moment of silence, the words of the little girl from her dream echoed again, "protect her." The phrase lingered in Luna's memory, making her touch her own stomach. Luna continued to try to decipher the meaning behind the little girl's words, and what Luna grasped was that perhaps the girl wanted to convey that some danger would threaten the fetus she was carrying. This indicated that she was currently pregnant, Luna thought, her heart racing ev
Slowly, Luna begins to open her eyes and surveys the room she's in. She feels something tightly holding onto her hand, and as she looks down, she sees Lucas, who's asleep while clutching her hand. Luna reaches her other hand to gently stroke Lucas's hair, rousing him from his sleep."Did I wake you up?" Luna asks, causing Lucas to blink his eyes a few times."Are you awake? How do you feel? Is anything hurting?" Lucas inquires, his worried expression reflecting in his eyes."Am I okay?" Luna replies with a faint smile on her lips. They fall into a brief silence, just gazing at each other, before Lucas finally finds his voice again. He extends his hand to tenderly caress Luna's cheek."I'm sorry I couldn't protect you and our baby," Lucas says, causing Luna to furrow her brows."What do you mean you couldn't protect our baby? Did something bad happen to our baby?" Luna questions, concern evident in her voice."I almost let us lose our baby," Lucas says, his head hanging in regret and a
Luna screams as Travis attempts to remove the knife lodged in her shoulder. He glares at Luna with a murderous intent, gripping the blood-smeared knife. Finally summoning her courage, Luna manages to stab Travis's shoulder using a knife she had hidden under the pillow. As Luna suspected, Travis hadn't realized she had hidden two knives earlier as a precaution. Taking advantage of Travis's momentary lapse due to exhaustion from their previous activities, Luna strikes back.Luna finally manages to wound Travis's body, even though her strike misses its intended mark on Travis's chest and ends up hitting his shoulder. Despite this, the wound is deep enough to make Travis grimace in pain, blood quickly staining his chest. What proves lucky for Luna is that Travis had forgotten to lock the door to the room Luna occupied.This oversight allows Luna to flee down a flight of stairs, leading her to realize that the room she was in was at the very top of the building. As she runs, Travis is hot
Lucas, Arka, and Leo are starting to look anxious after flying for hours, yet they haven't found the island where Luna is hidden."Have you checked the island properly?" Lucas asks, causing Leo, who has been focused on a flat object in front of him, to mutter."I don't want us to end up on the wrong island this time," Lucas says again, earning an annoyed look from Leo."Why, do you think finding that secluded island is easy? I might be able to track Luna's whereabouts through her phone network, but look, there are numerous islands scattered across the entire ocean. I don't know which one is where Luna is. Besides, I can't currently trace the phone's signal," Leo explains, making Lucas frustrated. Earlier, they had landed their helicopter on two islands, only to realize they were wrong. This time, Lucas hopes they're on the right one."Do you think that island looks suspicious?" Arka says, gazing at the island below. Lucas also looks down and sees a single building on the island, which
Travis started to bring his face closer, starting from behind Luna's ear where she was particularly sensitive. His tongue danced around her neck, gently grazing it, even as Luna continued to squirm and curse at him. Travis paid no attention to her protests, following his heart's desires even in the face of Luna's resistance.Travis was determined to have Luna, and he intended to do it with tenderness and affection. He believed that Luna would eventually give in to him, even though he was met with rejection at the moment. Luna clenched her fists tightly as Travis touched her so softly. It was far from what she had expected; she thought Travis would be rough and filled with anger, especially after she compared him to Lucas.However, now Travis was touching every inch of her body with a sense of emotion that made Luna have to bite her lip hard to suppress any moans."Even though you've rejected me, I will provide you with a beautiful first night experience that you will never forget," Tr
Luna slowly opened her eyes, sensing someone tightly embracing her, sound asleep. She felt the rhythmic breath on her neck, and as she turned her face slowly, she saw Travis's closed eyes. Luna began to move her palms cautiously in front of Travis's face. When she was sure that Travis was deeply asleep, she attempted to lift Travis's arm that was wrapped tightly around her waist.However, just as she managed to lift his arm a few inches, Travis's body tightened against hers again, causing Luna to hold her breath and close her eyes once more. She was afraid that Travis might wake up as she was about to put her plan into action. Luna waited for a few moments, ensuring Travis was sound asleep before attempting to pull his arm away from her waist once more. She succeeded this time. Travis seemed to be deeply lost in his dreams. Slowly, Luna began to lower her leg off the bed and made her way to a nearby cupboard, retrieving a hidden knife.Returning to the bed, Luna held the knife with tr
Luna takes a step back, her heart racing, as she faces Travis's intense gaze, holding a phone in his hand."Quickly tell me where you got this phone from," Travis asks in a cold voice, making Luna wary since he could potentially harm her and her unborn child, even though she manipulated the pregnancy test results she gave him earlier."I just found it in the wardrobe," Luna replies, her voice shaking, as Travis then hurls the phone against the wall behind her, shattering it into pieces. Luna's eyes widen in disbelief. Then, Travis walks briskly towards her, grabbing her shoulder with a tight grip."Tell me quickly, who gave you this phone?" Travis demands, his grip intense. Luna closes her eyes tightly, not expecting Travis to become this aggressive. She can't tell him that she stole the phone from Priscilla, as she doesn't want Travis to punish the servant who indirectly helped her. Priscilla had informed Luna that she was on a remote island in the middle of the sea.Luna is taken ab
Lucas and Arka forcefully enter a lavish house after Lucas's men incapacitate the guards. Bursting into a room, they startle the occupant who stands up from their seat."What are you doing here?" the person asks, visibly surprised."Tell me where Luna is," Lucas demands, gripping Leo's clothes tightly."What do you mean? Why are you looking for Luna here?" Leo asks, trying to free himself from Lucas's grip and attempting to choke Arka. Arka senses Lucas's emotions and moves closer, trying to restrain him."Don't you want to finish this brat off in our current situation?" Arka says, causing Lucas to finally release his grip on Leo's clothes. He then pushes Leo forcefully, causing him to fall onto the floor."Tell me, did you give her the bracelet she's been wearing?" Lucas asks, making Leo furrow his brows for a moment before lifting his head."So, Luna wears my bracelet every day??" Leo remarks with surprise."That's not the point right now," Lucas replies sternly."Did you plant the
Lucas, Leon, and Arka, followed by Carlos and a few detectives, are currently visiting the homes of fishermen to inquire whether there have been any foreign ships around in the past week. Lucas, Leon, and the others observe Arka as he talks to the fishermen. After waiting for a while, Arka approaches Lucas and the group."How did it go?" Lucas asks."They said there hasn't been any ship passing through Darmaga or any foreign vessel seen in the past week," Arka reports, causing Lucas to rub his forehead, unsure of how to proceed in finding Luna."Does that mean the kidnapper is still on the island?" Leon guesses, to which Arka shakes his head."I don't think so. There must be a way for the kidnapper to take Luna off the island. If he's still here, we would have found her by now," Arka's statement prompts Lucas to nod in agreement."So, what do we do now?" Lucas asks, causing Arka to fall silent as he contemplates their next steps."We need to think of another approach," Arka suggests.
The next morning, Luna woke up to find Travis absent from her room, which brought her a sense of relief. Instead, a servant was present, informed to attend to her needs. "I've prepared warm water for your bath," the servant said as she exited the bathroom, prompting Luna to get out of bed and head towards it.Luna spent a few minutes in the bathroom, trying to gather the courage to use the pregnancy test that Travis had given her. She felt a mix of curiosity and anxiety about whether Travis's claims were true. After a deep breath, Luna finally took the test and then turned her back to it, unable to face the result.Summoning her courage, Luna slowly turned around to see the test. Her eyes widened as her palm covered her open mouth in astonishment. She couldn't believe her eyes – the pregnancy test showed a positive result. Thousands of butterflies seemed to flutter in her stomach as the reality sank in. She felt a surge of joy and excitement.Luna was about to stand up from her seat,
