Luna gazes at her reflection in front of a large mirror that displays her entire body. The peach-colored dress wraps around her beautiful figure, stopping just above her knees. Her hair is styled with gentle waves, making her look even more enchanting. Light makeup frames her pretty face, completing her appearance for the evening. Luna smiles, her hand resting on her chest as her heart continues to race while she contemplates how Lucas will react to seeing her.She takes a deep breath in and exhales slowly. For some reason, she feels much more nervous than she does when walking down a runway in front of hundreds of people. It's not her first time meeting her husband, after all. Perhaps it's her excessive excitement that's causing her jitters. Luna isn't sure, but one thing is clear: her hands are starting to sweat from nervousness."Relax, Luna, relax," Luna murmurs to calm herself down. Once she feels composed, she steps into the waiting car that will take her to the hotel where thei
"What does all this mean?" Luna said, looking at both Lucas and Selena.Luna couldn't believe that the Selena she had encountered and helped was the same Selena who was now close to her husband. Was she also the Selena that Leon had mentioned earlier, Luna wondered, clenching her fists even tighter."Luna, what are you doing here?" Lucas asked, making Luna widen her eyes in disbelief."You're asking me what I'm doing here?" Luna muttered, clenching her jaw, and Lucas looked at her in confusion."I should be asking that question to you. What are you doing here?" Luna asked, looking towards Selena and the little girl who was innocently staring at her."I am___""Who is She, Daddy?" a small voice interrupted Lucas, causing Luna to feel like the ground was slipping from beneath her. Her heart raced as she heard a little girl call Lucas "Daddy.""Tasya, shhh," Selena said, placing her index finger on her lips, signaling Tasya to be quiet.But a moment later, Luna's actions left Lucas stand
Leon hurriedly searched for the spare room key, his hands trembling as he knocked over some items on the dresser. He didn't care about the mess he was creating; all he wanted was to find that key before his sister did something rash."Damn, where is that key?" Leon muttered to himself, growing frustrated as he continued to search. Meanwhile, in the adjacent room, Luna's hysterical crying and shouting only added to his urgency."Oh, shit. I beg Luna not to do anything stupid before I find this damn key," Leon yelled, knowing Luna probably wouldn't hear him. After a few more minutes of searching, he finally found the key and dashed toward the room where Luna was.With a forceful push, Leon opened the door and stood in shock as he looked at what used to be a room. Everything was scattered on the floor, a large mirror on the wall was shattered, blankets and pillows were unrecognizable casualties of Luna's emotional outburst."What happened?" Leon mumbled, taking in the state of the room.
Leon began to drive his car, leaving Luna alone in her apartment. Currently, all that was on Leon's mind was to resolve all the issues between his sister and Selena. As Leon suspected, Luna had misunderstood the relationship between Lucas and Selena. Prior to this, Leon had already looked into the connection between Selena and Luna's husband.They had been close friends since childhood, and perhaps Lucas paid extra attention to Selena not just due to her condition, but also because Selena was the friend who had helped him rise during his difficult childhood.Leon didn't know what event led Luna to misunderstand them. His task was to clear up that misunderstanding. That's why Leon was now driving his car towards the location of Selena's Orphanage.It didn't take long for Leon to park his car in the orphanage's courtyard once he arrived. He looked around the dimly lit area, illuminated only by a few garden lights in each corner. Then, he glanced at his wristwatch. In his panic, Leon had
Luna could only stare out into the distance through the window of the apartment she now occupied. It had been a week since the incident that shattered her heart, yet there was not a single word of apology or inquiry from James. She repeatedly glanced at her phone, hoping for a message that never came. Dozens of unread messages filled her inbox, and the same went for her social media accounts. News and updates about her were relentless, but Luna chose to ignore it all. She even disregarded Alicia's calls, opting to turn off her phone rather than wait for something uncertain.Luna took a deep breath and exhaled, watching the puff of air escape her mouth, a testament to how cold it was in Los Angeles right now. She sat on the balcony of Leon's apartment, absentmindedly swirling the contents of a hot chocolate glass with her index finger. She had no intention of taking even a sip, just fixating on her reflection in the glass. Soon, someone draped a warm coat over her shoulders, and Luna d
It seemed like the umpteenth time Lucas had thrown job reports from his subordinates into the trash."You dare to give me this garbage?" Lucas uttered coldly, causing the trembling financial manager to stand there with bowed head in front of Lucas's chilling demeanor."Forgive me, sir," he managed to stammer, and with a dismissive wave of Lucas's hand, he was effectively dismissed. The financial manager hastily left Lucas's office. Lucas then shifted his gaze to Carlos, who stood quietly by his side."How's the casino construction in Las Vegas?" Lucas inquired, his attention still divided as he signed several stacks of documents on his desk."There have been a few setbacks, sir," Carlos answered, which caused Lucas's hand to pause once again."And the reason?""We've encountered some issues with the heavy machinery we've been using," Carlos replied, drawing a deep breath and exhaling it harshly. Over the past week, nothing seemed to go as planned; everything that usually ran smoothly
"Are you really in Hawaii?" Alicia asked, her curiosity spilling out after a week of Luna not picking up her calls. Luna had kept her phone off during her disappearance, and Alicia had been unable to reach her."What do you think?" Luna responded, not wanting to get into a lengthy conversation with Alicia."And I don't believe those cheap news reports," Alicia replied, causing Luna to offer a slight smile. Alicia truly knew everything Luna was up to; Luna was utterly helpless without Alicia's assistance."Then where do you think I am?" Luna questioned, prompting Alicia to sigh in frustration on the other end."If only I knew, I wouldn't have been bothered this past week dealing with your suddenly canceled schedule. Even Naomi, who's usually patient and indifferent about whatever mischief you get into, has started to voice her opinion," Alicia explained, making Luna's eyebrows raise."Really?" Luna asked, a bit skeptical about what Alicia had just said. Throughout her career and time w
Luna gazed at the smile on Leon's lips, a smile she rarely saw. She knew exactly what kind of smile he was displaying in front of Selena—a smile of happiness. Luna's mind wandered, questioning whether he truly had feelings for this woman.Leon rarely smiled like this at people, even to Luna herself. He wasn't closed off, but he was someone who wasn't particularly expressive."Why is the music so loud?" Luna muttered, trying to catch snippets of the conversation between Leon and Selena. Unfortunately, the restaurant's music interfered with her eavesdropping. Luna grumbled as she attempted to hear through the noise.Her eyes widened when she saw Leon hold Selena's hand. "Don't tell me they're really in a relationship," Luna muttered, clenching her fists."You will order something, Miss?" a waiter asked, handing her a menu. Luna was momentarily startled, diverting her attention from Leon to the waiter, who was smiling kindly at her. However, the waiter's smile turned into a surprised exp
