Luna and Lucas exchanged hostile glares, an aura of animosity filling the space between them. Luna was unwilling to accept that her own husband was defending another woman in her presence, while Lucas couldn't stand hearing his childhood friend being insulted by his own wife.Leon and Selena could only watch them with disbelief, never imagining that such a major misunderstanding would unfold between the two of them. Selena had helped Leon back into his chair, reaching out to wipe away the trace of blood from the corner of his lip."I'm okay," Leon reassured Selena, who looked at him as if seeking forgiveness for Lucas's behavior."You hit Leon just because of that trashy woman?" Luna retorted, causing Lucas to clench his jaw again."I warned you not to use foul language when referring to Selena," Lucas said firmly, while Leon looked at Selena and apologized for Luna's words. Selena nodded, understanding that Luna didn't truly see her that way, her behavior only a result of misundersta
Lucas seemed to be focusing intently on the flat object in front of him, a constant companion during his working hours aside from the piles of documents strewn across other parts of his desk. Although he appeared serious, little did anyone know that his heart was restless. Upon closer inspection, it was evident that Lucas was staring blankly at the laptop displaying several documents about the latest project that Alvarez was about to undertake."Before she truly leaves, if you don't resolve the misunderstanding between you two," Selena's words echoed in Lucas's mind. That night, Lucas didn't offer any response to Selena's advice.This internal struggle left him unable to sleep soundly and unfocused in his work even until now. He could have easily gone to see Luna and resolved their misunderstanding as Selena suggested, but his ego-built walls were too high to dismantle. Thus, Lucas chose to remain silent and ponder his curiosity alone."Sir," Carlos's voice brought Lucas out of his re
Luna gripped a medium-sized suitcase as she walked into the airport area. The sunglasses perched on her nose couldn't fully hide her identity, as she became the subject of some people's attention. From head to toe, everything Luna wore added to her captivating appearance, and she walked elegantly, her chin slightly raised as if proclaiming, "I am Luna Estrada, whom you admire."Occasionally, Luna glanced at people embracing each other, bidding farewell to someone who would be missed—a person letting go and longing for their return. It made Luna smile sadly, acknowledging the fact that she was alone, with no one to escort or bid her farewell.But her decision was firm; everything had been conveyed to Leon. To her, it was the right and necessary choice to start anew. Luna quickened her pace as she heard the announcement that her flight to England was about to take off. She ignored the various opinions people had about her and the reluctance some showed towards parting from their loved o
Luna rested her head on Lucas' shoulder, playing with her index finger on Lucas' chest, creating an abstract pattern."Are you sure you won't come, Baby?" Luna asked, tilting her head slightly towards Lucas.Lucas affectionately stroked Luna's hair and then let out a long sigh. "Can't you cancel your trip?" Lucas asked, making Luna shake her head."I can't. This is the second contract LKing has given me after I violated their previous one. And you know Alicia is waiting for me in England, and she has everything prepared. If I don't go, she really won't want to meet me again," Luna replied, leaning dependently on Lucas' shoulder. They were currently inside Lucas' private jet after he had managed to stop Luna's departure by arranging his private jet when she missed her commercial flight."We just met, and you already want to leave me," Lucas said with a pleading expression that looked amusing to Luna."Even before that, you left me for a whole week without a single word. You can be crue
"Are you still mad at me?" Luna asked, looking at Alicia through the reflection of a large mirror in front of her. However, Alicia remained indifferent, not intending to answer Luna's question as she was being attended to by one of the makeup artists from Lking."Come on, I'm really sorry," Luna said again, glancing at Alicia, but Alicia still remained silent, frustrating Luna."Cia, you should be proud. Getting an apology request from a Luna Estrada, yet you're ignoring it," Luna said with a hint of annoyance, making Alicia finally look her way."It's because you've made too many mistakes with me. I'm tired of hearing your apologies and your coaxing," Alicia said, making Luna realize her mistake. Luna then turned to face Alicia, displaying her neat and clean row of teeth."I promise this is the last time I'll make a mistake like this," Luna said, raising her hand towards Alicia."I've heard that line from you many times, Luna," Alicia replied lazily, walking over to fetch the leather
Luna looked at the sixteen-year-old teenager who was now her partner in the shoot. She hadn't expected that behind his thick round glasses reminiscent of Harry Potter, there would be such a handsome face and a talent that, in Luna's opinion, showed promise for a beginner. It just took a bit of direction to ease his stiffness in front of the camera. The initial awkwardness seemed to fade as Leo found his rhythm and managed to keep up with Luna during the photoshoot for Lking's latest product.The camera flashes continued to illuminate Luna and Leo for the past hour. They had gone through three different outfits, and now they were on the final one. This last outfit was slightly more revealing, adhering to a sexy theme. Luna wore hotpants paired with a leather bra top. Leo, on the other hand, was shirtless, with several crisscrossing straps that extended from his shoulders to his waist, and he wore tight pants made from the same material."Good, move a bit closer," the photographer direc
Luna fell silent, her eyes widening in disbelief at what she was seeing."Are you kidding me?" Luna said incredulously, staring at Leo with a puzzled expression. Leo looked back at her with an admiring gaze. Luna then walked closer to Leo, folding her arms in front of her chest."Oh, I'm sorry," Leo said, noticing Luna's outfit from top to bottom. "I thought it would be more enjoyable if we ride this, while enjoying the view towards Woodchester Village," Leo hesitated in his words."With me dressed like this?" Luna pointed at her current attire, and Leo shifted his gaze from Luna's outfit to the vehicle he had brought.Luna looked lovely in her knee-length summer dress, complete with flat shoes that accentuated her long legs. However, it seemed that what Luna was wearing wouldn't match well with riding on the large motorcycle Leo had."I'm sorry, but it seems I can't change my vehicle because___""And I don't want to change the clothes I'm wearing," Luna interjected, grabbing the helm
Luna gazed at the surrounding scenery that had been captivating her eyes for the past thirty minutes. The gentle breeze brushed against her face and her hair swayed beautifully in tune with the wind's direction. A constant smile adorned her lips, and the primary reason she couldn't stop smiling, apart from the breathtaking view, was the man currently tenderly stroking the back of her hand. Luna's arms were wrapped tightly around Lucas's waist, and she rested her head on his shoulder."Did you enjoy it?" Lucas asked, causing Luna to tilt her head slightly forward, their cheeks brushing against each other."Did you enjoy it?" Lucas repeated, prompting Luna to nod on his shoulder. Lucas widened his smile upon hearing Luna's response."Where should we go next?" Luna asked, causing Lucas to shrug."I don't know," he replied, causing Luna to let out a shriek right beside Lucas's ear."What?" Luna exclaimed, making Lucas abruptly stop the motorcycle at the side of the road."Honey, you hurt
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,
