2024-10-29 19:42:56LUNA’S POV.
I decided to show up at work today and I have sworn never to absent from work the way I did these past days. I’ve been working since morning, preparing financial records and audits. Right now my head is just cramped and heavy. I’m tired and hungry and above all sleepy. I’m going to go home immediately when I’m done with what I am doing. I will do the rest of the work at home.
My office door opens and l my breath seizes when I see my mum walk in. She is the last person I want to see right now. I have been avoiding her calls and refusing to go home for visits because I don’t want her insisting to know who is responsible for my pregnancy. She is going to scold me severely if she finds out that Ace is the one responsible for it.
“Seriously Luna?, A one night stand with an engaged man?!”
BAAM!
Mum asks furiously as she throws her handbag on the couch and stands akimbo waiting for me to say some

The bond in marriage is indeed an extraordinary type of bond. Kyle and I are seated in the living room at our parents house right now, receiving the scolding of our lives from our father all thanks to mum. She did not hesitate to fill him in on the latest developments about my pregnancy and now my father is raging like a wild dog. He keeps pacing about and I’m just very nervous right now.“Kyle you had one job, to make sure your sister wasn’t doing anything outrageous and you failed. You have disappointed me, both of you!” he spits out angry and I look at my brother sadly. I feel so bad for dragging him into this. He has been tried his best to be overprotective of me, I am the only one to be blamed for this mess.“Dad you…”“Not now Luna!” He cuts me off with a roar and I tremble in fear. Kyle scoots closer to me and takes me into his arms. I just feel like bursting into tears right now.“Angeli

“Stay where you are!” Ace warns.“I can’t, I just can’t okay. I want to rip this bitch apart. She is ruining everything for us. This whole issue is now on social media, do you know how messed up this?. This is a scandal!” She screams in frustration and to be frank, I feel her pain. I would react the same way if I were in her shoes.“Sophia you need to calm down, no one meant for this to happen okay. This is not Luna’s fault” Ace defends.“Yes, it is. One night stands do happen but she just had to get pregnant and now look at where it has gotten us” She scolds yet again and I suddenly feel a sharp pain in my head and my legs grow weak, before I know it, I’m falling but before I can reach the grown I am supported by Ace’s strong arms.“Are you alright?” He asks concerned.“I think I have a headache”“Should we go see a doctor?”

“What you are doing is more than enough”“I don’t feel that way”“Ace” I call.“Can I ask you a question?”“Yeah go on” He says as he drives into the compound and parks in the driveway.“Don’t you think you are getting too attached to us?” I ask quietly and he looks at me long but gentle and then smiles.“Don’t move, I’ll get the door for you” Then he unstraps his seatbelt, walks over to my side of the car and opens the door for me. He helps me step down from the car.“Thank you” I say with a shy smile.“Anytime”“You have still not answered my question”“Luna” He calls softly as he gently strokes my hair and before I know it, he is on his knees.“What are you doing?” I ask shocked.“I’m doing what I’m supposed to be

“I’ll just serve lunch then, Ace you are welcome to join us”“Seven I want you to leave”“That is not going to happen”“You heard the Lady!”“She doesn’t mean it” He says as he walks over the cooker and starts dishing out the food in a bowl.“I’m calling the cops” Ace threatens and I turn to face him as Seven exits the kitchen, clearly unbothered by the threat.“Please don’t” I plead.“Do you want him here?” He asks quietly.“I swear I don’t but I know he means we’ll, Seven will never hurt me”“So you are going to let him stay the night?”“No, no, I will go over to Asher’s place”“Seriously? You think he will let you leave? Besides, I don’t want you spending the night at that guy’s place either. He is love with you, he

“Come on, let’s get you out of here” He takes my hand and urges me to get up from the chair.My food!“Dude, what do you think you are doing?” Seven asks as he furiously seizes my hand from Asher’s. “She’s about to eat her lunch”“ I’ll make her lunch at my place, come on wifey” He tries to take my hand but Seven pulls it away and steps in front of me.“Seven step away” He says with his eyes closed. He’s about to loose it.“ I won’t, she’s going no where with you” Seven says giving him a deadly stare and I wonder where he got such confidence from. Just one phone call and that will be the end for him, Asher has the power to make that happen.Asher doesn’t flinch at his stare, he shoves one hand in his right pocket and takes one step forward.“In case I’m not making myself clear, this is a threat!” He

He is not doing all of this because he loves me, he just doesn’t want to loose me to Ace like his other girls. I glance at Asher with my eyes and mouth wide open in shock.“Do you think…”“I don’t think honey, that is what is there. He is doing this because of his undying love for you, he just doesn’t want to loose you to Ace”“I hate him!”“And it will interested you to know that Sophia is his cousin”“Yeah” He says nodding.“Wow”“So now there’s two ways to look at this. It’s either his cousin begged him to get you back so that you don’t stand a chance with Ace or he doesn’t want to loose you to Ace”“I know Seven, he’s a selfish strut. There is no way he’d be doing this cousin. He just doesn’t want to loose to Ace. It’s all about his ego”“I&rsqu

It was just a kiss. I actually stole her first kiss and she hit me hard in the face. That stunk!”“Serves you right”“So how did you two meet?”“Remember that high school reunion party we had to attend before you got that emergency?”“Of course I do. We had used an entire week just pick outfits for that party”“Yeah, that’s where we met, had a few shots, one thing let to another and the rest is history.“I see… and where was Sophia?”&ldq
CEO'S DILEMMA CHAPTER TWENTY NINE
LUNA’S POV I grudgingly try to open my eyes when I feel a gentle tap on my shoulder. Who dares try to interrupt a pregnant woman’s sleep? “Wake up sleepy head, it’s almost noon” That voice, it’s a female voice and it sounds very familiar. I shoot my eyes open and let out a scream when I see Alora seated by my side. “ Oh my God!” I exclaim in joy as I hug her tight. I have missed her like crazy! “Easy girl, you’re pregnant” “Alora, are you for real?” “It’s your girl, damn! Pregnancy looks good on you babe. You are glowing!” “I’m getting fat!” I say rolling my eyes. “You still look hot!” Asher chips in as he walks into the bedroom. He is already dressed up for work and I do not need to tell you that he looks breathtaking…you know. The tuxedo he has on fits him perfectly and the I like the way a chunk of his hair falls down his face almost concealing his left eye. The hottest Attorney in the country.
