"Are you feeling sick?" Alicia asked, looking at Luna through the large mirror in front of them. Luna met Alicia's gaze and shook her head."What's wrong? Is there something off with my face?" Luna asked, making Alicia scrutinize her face closely."You look quite pale," Alicia replied, prompting Luna to examine her own face in the mirror. She couldn't deny that her complexion was a bit paler than usual."I think I need some rest," Luna answered weakly."In that case, I'll cancel your schedule for today," Alicia said, making Luna shake her head before standing up from her seat. Luna walked over to a row of clothes displayed for her upcoming photoshoot."No, I don't want to make my schedule busier on the weekend because I have plans with Lucas," Luna replied, making Alicia take a blazer from the rack and help her put it on. Alicia chose to follow Luna's request. They then headed to the photoshoot set.Several photoshoot sessions went smoothly as usual. Luna wowed everyone on set with he
Lucas appeared restless for the past hour. In his entire life, he had never experienced such overwhelming worry. This was the first time. He felt as if his soul was being slowly pulled out of his body as he saw Luna lying in a pool of blood in the bathroom.His thoughts were interrupted when he heard footsteps approaching. He looked up and saw Vano and Rose, Luna's parents, running towards him with anxious expressions."What happened?" Vano asked as he reached Lucas, who was still seated with a worried look on his face."Luna—" Lucas's weak utterance was cut short when the door that had been closed for the past hour finally opened. A doctor and several nurses emerged from the room, the doctor's face reflecting exhaustion. Lucas stood up, immediately bombarding the doctor with the questions that had been piling up in his mind."Is my wife okay?" However, only that question escaped Lucas's lips. To him, it was the most crucial question at the moment. Learning that his wife was okay brou
Luna and Lucas gazed at Leo, who stood frozen in the doorway with a bouquet of flowers in his right hand and a large box of chocolates in his left."Why are you here?" Lucas asked coldly, which immediately earned him an annoyed look from Luna. Lucas sighed in frustration, irritated by Luna's apparent defense of Leo."Come in," Luna said, breaking the tension. Leo snapped out of his reverie, looking at Lucas warily."Is it okay?" Leo asked cautiously."Of course," Luna replied, which led to another protest from Lucas."Honey," Lucas tried to intervene, but Luna shot him a sharp look that made Lucas give up his seat and move to a sofa not far from Luna's bed. Only after that did Leo feel confident enough to enter and take the seat Lucas had vacated."I brought these for you," Leo said, making Luna smile as she accepted the gifts he had brought."Thanks," Luna replied."How are you?" Leo asked, but before Luna could answer his question, Lucas chimed in with his own inquiry."How did you
Luna took a deep breath as she stood in front of the large door that led to Lucas's office. Before she could reach out, she had to prepare herself for what she might see once that door opened. She hoped that her imaginings during the journey here were far from reality. Luna couldn't predict what she would do if her suspicions were confirmed. Slowly, she reached for the doorknob, opening the door wide. She stepped inside and fell silent in the doorway as she saw her husband embracing a woman, her back turned to Luna. Luna clenched her fists tightly as she witnessed their intimacy.Quickly, Luna walked towards Lucas and the woman, her steps determined. Her fingers were itching to scratch the face of the woman who dared to tempt her husband. With a swift motion, Luna tugged at the woman's shoulder as Lucas embraced her. Luna's eyes widened as she saw the face of the woman before her. She stepped back in shock, her gaze shifting to Lucas, who was also looking at her."What are you two doi
Luna slept right on Lucas's chest while continuously forming abstract patterns on his chest, while Lucas was engrossed with the iPad he had been holding since earlier. Luna slightly tilted her face to look at Lucas, who appeared serious."Babe, I want to talk to you. Can you put down the iPad first?" Luna said in a frustrated tone because she had been telling Lucas that she wanted to talk to him for a while now. Earlier, her husband had asked for five minutes to finish his work, but it had been over an hour since Lucas made that request.Lucas looked at Luna's face and complied with her request, placing his iPad on the nightstand. He then pulled Luna closer by her waist."So, what do you want to say?" Lucas asked, gently stroking Luna's back as he spoke."I want to have a baby."Luna's request made her heart race, even though it was somewhat expected after Jonathan had suddenly come to her office to discuss having children. Lucas had already guessed that Luna would talk about wanting
Lucas and Luna walked into a hospital specializing in maternal and child care. Lucas had previously arranged for them to have a consultation about the program Luna desired."You're expected by Dr. Ana," one of the attending nurses said as Lucas and Luna passed the reception area. They headed straight to Dr. Ana's office for the consultation.Dr. Ana began by conducting several checks on Lucas and Luna to ensure their fertility levels and to detect any abnormalities. Lucas and Luna sat somewhat nervously, watching the doctor examine their test results. Occasionally, the doctor glanced at them, making Luna feel anxious. She continuously played with her thumb and index finger. Lucas noticed Luna's unease and gently squeezed her wrist to calm her down."There's nothing to worry about," Dr. Ana finally said, relieving Luna's tension after what felt like minutes of holding her breath."Everything is normal. You just need to maintain a healthy lifestyle, track your fertile periods, and have
Luna disposed of the pregnancy test she had used into the trash bin as the negative sign appeared on the device. Her gaze then fell upon another pregnancy test that had never been used, still neatly wrapped in a drawer. She wondered how many tests she had used this past month, all yielding the same result, causing her to exhale in frustration.Luna didn't realize that trying to conceive would be this difficult. She leaned her face into her hands, her head lowered, thinking about what she might be missing in her efforts. She had followed all the doctor's recommendations diligently, even with great enthusiasm, because she wanted to give Lucas a child as soon as possible.She would even scold Lucas when he didn't comply with the doctor's advice. Sometimes, Lucas returned home late from work due to important meetings, and it irritated Luna. The doctor had suggested that they avoid getting too tired or stressed.A gentle touch on Luna's shoulder made her lift her head. She saw Lucas throug
"I'm back," Luna announced, catching Alicia in the middle of arranging her belongings in the room specifically designated for Luna Estrada in her agency. Alicia glanced at Luna with a furrowed brow, as if questioning why she had come there. Luna could only smile at her friend's expression."What's with that look? Aren't you happy to see me back?" Luna asked, to which Alicia let out a frustrated sigh before continuing to pack her belongings into a large suitcase that was already half full."Cia, are you upset with me?" Luna asked, wrapping her arms around Alicia from behind."If you're here just to play around, I'm sorry, but I'm exhausted from organizing all these things. It's better if you just stay quiet," Alicia replied with annoyance, and Luna let out a sigh."It seems like you're not pleased to see me back," Luna remarked, then walked over to the sofa just behind Alicia, crossing one leg over the other."Back to tell everyone at the agency that you're quitting and make me their t
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,
