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
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,
