“Good morning Princess”
“Good morning”
“Where is Luna?”
“In the kitchen” I go over to the kitchen where are fine Luna washing dishes in the sink and when she turns and sees me, she acts like she hasn’t and concentrates on her plate.
“Good morning Luna” I greet calmly as I approach her.
“Good morning” she greets back not even sparing me a glance.

CHAPTER ONE.LUNA’S POV.“Luna, I understand that you are going through a tough time but you can't keep shutting yourself out on everything. Sulking won't do you any good and you know it" My best friend, Alora advices, and I know she's right. She's always right, but I just can't bring myself to chill right now. I just ended a three-year relationship with my boyfriend... I mean ex-boyfriend. He was a workaholic and I didn't like it at all. If he wasn't canceling dates, he was postponing or forgetting them. I've had to spend the night on his couch countless times because I was waiting for him to show up on our planned date which he never showed up. I had put up with that attitude for the years and when I realized that he wasn't even trying to change or at least make-out time for me, for us, for our relationship, I called it off. He had been in Germany for over two months and I broke up with him over text and voice mail. I'm done with his negligence and absenteeism in my life. I deserve

CHAPTER TWO.LUNA’S POV.I open my eyes and graon in pain as I feel my head hurt like it had been hit by a truck. I sit up straight on the bed and scan the bedroom. It's not mine. I would never have black drapes, black carpet and a black duvet. The events of last flood my mind and I lie on the bed covering my face with the dovet as I groan in frustration. Ace and I had quite a drinking spree last night and ended up spending the night on his bed. This is just crazy. I retrieve my phone from the nightstand and when I unlock it, I'm not surprised to see thirty missed calls from Alora. I bailed on her last night and I know she's going to kill me when I get home.Just then, a door opens and Ace walks in with a towel tied around his waist. His wet hair is ruffled and I swallow hard when my eyes fall on his well formed eight packs. The droplets of water trickling down the abs drive me insane and without warning my mind travels to what happened between us last night. The way he had handled

I'm dead meat."I'm sorry.""I said to go out and have fun, not to unleash the whore in you.""I couldn't help it, Alora please let me explain.""I'm all... " She suddenly halts and looks at me from head to toe. "Whose clothes are those you have on?" She asks as she stands akimbo."Um... It's part of the explanation.” I purse my lips together."Ok then, commence." She says as she makes herself comfortable on the couch. I walk helter skelter around the living room wondering how I have to start telling to her that I had a one night stand which was actually a memorable one with the famous Ace Damon.When I'm done narrating to her the events of last night and this morning, Alora is staring at me like I suddenly turned into a ghost. I

I want us to start our own family already.""Like... You wanna have children?""Sounds cool right?" I ask with a smile."No it doesn't, this is not cool." She denies flatly."Why not?" I ask confused."We already had this talk the other time you were hell bent on impregnating me. I'm not having kids until I'm twenty-six. I still have three more years to go.”"Come on, love.""I'm serious Ace, no kids until I'm twenty six.”"So, what I really want doesn't matter to you?""Provided I'm the one to carry the pregnancy for nine months while you get all the congratulations, it doesn't!"

CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER FIVE
CHAPTER FIVE KYLE'S POVI completely loose it when Luna shuts her eyes and her hand slides away from mine. I watch blankly as the nurses take her into the emergency room. I'm about to call doctor George, but I stop when I see him rush into the emergency ward with other doctors. I walk helter-skelter about the corridor, totally confused and frustrated. She was perfectly okay yesterday. She had taken down all the financial records of the day and presented to me and she didn't even show any sign of ill health. We even had dinner at our parents place and she had entertained them with complains about how I always beg her to put on my cufflinks every morning in my office.I love my baby sister despite the fact that she annoys the hell out of me sometimes. I have adored her from the day she was born. I was five years old. I can still remember how I cuddled her in my arms and refused to let her go when my father took me to the hospital. Every night at home I would sneak into her bedroom and w

I once met a missed call but when I called back it went straight to voicemail. Typical Seven" She says shrugging and I feel like bursting into tears. Of all the men in the world, she had to get pregnant for a guy who has blatantly refused to see her worth, a guy who doesn't see it necessary to make out time for her, a workaholic.Father Lord!"Wow, he's such a looser""Why do you ask?""Princess the doct

That is the last thing I want to happen.I take a closer look at myself in the mirror and shake my head sadly. In a few months time this awesome shape will be nothing but a round potato.
