Albert's gaze was now fixed on the couple dancing in the middle of the room, locking eyes with each other. It was as if they were the only two people in the place.From the beginning, Albert had tried to move on and accept another woman, but Luna remained the most beautiful memory for him. Beautiful memories are hard to forget, after all. Luna, with her playfulness and stubbornness, had created incredibly fond memories for Albert. Despite their relationship's challenges and constant disagreements, Luna managed to stand by him.Until the man who was now her husband entered the picture. Albert was convinced that Luna had found new love with Lucas, evident in the way she looked at him, her husband, who was holding her waist tightly.Luna couldn't tear her eyes away from the man holding her so closely. It was as if she wasn't allowed to look away, not that she wanted to. As they got lost in their world, suddenly the music changed to a softer tune, piercing Luna's heart.Luna glanced at Al
"Am I being too much?" Luna thought to herself, lost in her own thoughts. She truly didn't intend to push Albert away. She just didn't want Albert and Lucas to be involved in the same conversation. Luna was more concerned about Albert, fearing that Lucas might pressure her. She didn't want that to happen."Are you thinking about something?" Lucas asked, bringing Luna back from her reverie."Huh, no," Luna replied, glancing at Lucas who was seated behind the steering wheel."You look ____.""I'm just a bit tired," Luna quickly cut in, not wanting Lucas to start guessing about her thoughts."Did our dance earlier drain your energy?" Lucas asked again."No, it's just that lately, I've been feeling a bit under the weather," Luna answered, trying to find a suitable excuse. She couldn't possibly tell Lucas that she was currently thinking about Albert. She definitely didn't want to make Albert hate her."In that case, I'll call Kris to check on you once we reach the Mansion," Lucas said, cau
"Lucas," Luna mumbled while remaining frozen in her spot."Since when have you been there?" Luna asked nervously."For about five minutes," Lucas replied, causing Luna to break into a cold sweat. Did he overhear her conversation with Albert? Luna stayed still for a moment, trying to meet Lucas's gaze and prepare herself for his response. Did he really hear their conversation?"Why were you on the balcony?" Lucas asked, making Luna blink a few times."I just wanted to enjoy the night air," Luna replied."Come inside. It's chilly out there. And you're not feeling well," Lucas advised, making Luna follow his words and return to the room. She felt relieved that Lucas didn't seem to have heard her conversation with Albert. Luna walked past Lucas, but he stopped her by grabbing her arm, making her heart race."I've scheduled an appointment with Kris," Lucas said, causing Luna to turn around to face him."But didn't we agree to have me checked by George?" Luna questioned."I trust Kris more.
"Lucas, I swear I'm fine," Luna whined, shaking Lucas's arm as he was driving the car."No, Luna, I don't want a repeat of what happened when you had a fever last time," Lucas said, making Luna furrow her brows slightly. She thought she had caused him trouble during her previous fever, but Lucas's concern was about not being able to handle her getting sick again. Maybe the situations were different in their minds. During the snowstorm, Lucas was forced to follow Kris's advice, whereas now, although the weather was cold, there was no obstacle preventing him from taking her to the hospital.If only she had used the same strategy to bring down her fever today, Lucas couldn't promise he would be able to hold himself back. So, Lucas chose the safe route of taking Luna to the hospital, even though she had been resisting his efforts all along."No more arguments," Lucas stated, not leaving room for any protest. Luna sighed in frustration. How many times had she fallen into her own trap? This
"We're going where?" Alicia asked as she looked at Luna through the front mirror, Luna typing on her phone briefly glanced in Alicia's direction before answering, "To the hospital." Luna's brief response made Alicia turn her head toward the back where Luna was sitting."Are you sick?" Alicia asked, causing Luna to shake her head immediately."So, where are we going?" Alicia inquired again."We're going to visit someone," Luna answered, causing Alicia to finally nod and refocus on the road ahead.Not long after, they arrived at a hospital in Los Angeles. Luna proceeded to walk into the VIP floor while Alicia waited for her at the cafeteria.A few hours earlier, Luna received a message from an unknown number. After reading its contents, she finally realized who the sender was: Travis. Travis asked if Luna wouldn't visit him at the hospital after what her husband had done to him. Initially, Luna hesitated, as it wasn't entirely Lucas' fault, but also her own. However, she didn't know why
"Why did you bring me to the apartment?" Luna asked when she realized that Alicia didn't take her to Lucas' mansion but to Alicia's apartment."I forgot to tell you that all the gifts from your fans have piled up in the apartment, and you haven't even opened them yet," Alicia explained, causing Luna to furrow her brow."Gifts? Since when did I receive gifts from my fans?" Luna asked, making Alicia sigh."Sigh, the gifts you received at the fansign event," Alicia clarified, causing Luna to understand. She had even forgotten that she attended the fansign event.Luna then got out of the car and walked toward her apartment. As Alicia had said, there were indeed many gifts from her fans, even in her spacious room. Luna looked at the gift boxes neatly arranged near her couch. Some fans had given her flowers, some had given her a plush toy, and others were still wrapped in boxes. Luna then sat down to open each gift one by one.Some fans gave her high heels from a brand she liked in her size
Luna walked into a restaurant where she was supposed to meet Leo. She headed to the table she had reserved, but her steps halted as she saw someone sitting at her table. She squinted her eyes to get a clearer look at the man who was casually seated there, but Luna knew it wasn't Leo. She vividly remembered the face of the teenage boy with his thick round glasses. Luna then continued walking towards him.With an air of arrogance, Luna folded her arms and stood near the table, looking at the man who also stood up as if welcoming her arrival. Luna gave a disdainful look at the man before her."It seems you're sitting in the wrong place. I believe this is my reserved table," Luna stated, glancing at the name on the table. Luna was sure that it was indeed her designated table."Of course. This is your reserved table, which is why I'm sitting here," he replied, causing Luna to furrow her brows. She felt like she recognized this voice, but where from, she wondered. The man then took his seat
"How about Naomi's offer?" Alicia asks while looking at Luna through the reflection of the large mirror in front of them. Luna glances at Alicia with one eye, as the other eye is being worked on by Patrick with makeup."For what?" Luna asks, making Alicia roll her eyes before walking closer to Luna."Didn't I tell you a while ago that Naomi offered to celebrate your birthday this year? She said to consider it as a thank-you for all your hard work during your career with her agency," Alicia explains, causing Luna to pause and consider Naomi's offer."How many days until my birthday?" Luna asks, prompting Alicia to count on her fingers."Day after tomorrow.""What?!" Luna and Patrick both exclaim, looking at Alicia. Even Luna herself can't believe her birthday is coming up so soon, and Alicia is just now telling her."Why didn't you let me know earlier?" Luna says, a bit irritated."Luna, I mentioned this a week ago when Naomi messaged me, and I immediately told you," Alicia replies, a
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,
