Amelia was in her dimly lit bedroom, the curtains drawn shut to block out the harsh afternoon sun. She sat on her plush velvet bedspread, her sweet face suddenly contorting into a scowl as she clenched her hands into tight fists. The soft fabric beneath her palms did little to absorb the force of her anger as she punched the air in front of her. "Ethan thinks he can buy me with his money," she muttered to herself, her voice barely above a whisper. "He has nothing better to offer."She could feel the heat rising in her cheeks as she licked her lips, tasting the salty tang of her own frustration. Amelia took a deep breath, inhaling the faint scent of lavender that lingered in the air from the candles she had lit earlier. She closed her eyes and tried to calm her racing thoughts, but it was no use. The frustration that had been building up inside her for weeks was like a volcano, ready to erupt at any moment.She picked up her cell phone from the nightstand and dialed a number, her finge
Amelia quickly slipped her clothes back on after her video call and solitary pleasure session. She glanced at her reflection in the mirror, her eyes scanning over her body critically. The fabric of her shirt clung to her damp skin, and she could see the outline of her bra through the thin material. Her current wardrobe just wasn't cutting it anymore.She grabbed her phone and began scrolling through an online store, her eyes widening at the price tags. But she didn't hesitate as she selected ten expensive pieces, each one more luxurious than the last. She could practically feel the softness of the cashmere sweaters and the silkiness of the slip dresses as she added them to her cart. The total came to around $5000, but she knew she could easily charge it to Ethan's office finances without him even noticing.Just as she was about to place the order, there was a knock at the door. Amelia opened it to find Ethan standing there, his eyes looking a little puffy. He was wearing a rumpled sui
Luna, Eddie, and Gery sat in a plush velvet booth at the upscale restaurant, the soft clinking of silverware against fine china and hushed conversations of the other patrons creating a soothing ambiance. The scent of rich mahogany and fresh flowers filled the air, and the dim lighting cast a warm glow over the crisp white tablecloths. Gery was going over the plan for the courtroom later that day, his voice low and steady as he outlined their strategy. His eyes flicked up to meet Luna's, and Luna could see the determination in his gaze. "Why is the trial moving so quickly?" Luna asked, her brow furrowed in confusion. She took a sip of her ice water, the cool liquid soothing her dry throat. Gery gave a small smile, his eyes flicking up to meet Luna's. "Well, the investigation should have a process, but it seems your ex-husband has paid off some bad cops to expedite the process. Your trial schedule was moved up as a result." Luna shook her head, disgusted at the lengths Ethan was will
They savored each bite of their exquisite meals, the flavors bursting on their tongues like fireworks. Suddenly, Luna's ears perked up at the sound of a commotion near the entrance.She turned to see a woman, flanked by two burly bodyguards, making her grand entrance. The woman was dressed in a stunning, form-fitting gown that sparkled under the soft glow of the chandeliers. Her hair was styled in an intricate updo, and her makeup was flawless. Luna recognized her immediately as Koper, the new artist who had been making waves in the music industry."What's going on?" Eddie asked, noticing Luna's distraction."It looks like that woman is a new artist. She just ordered all the food in the restaurant," Luna replied, watching as Koper's entourage began to set up cameras and lights."What? That's ridiculous," Eddie said, shaking his head in disbelief.Luna sighed, feeling a twinge of disappointment. "I guess this is what it's like to eat at a fancy restaurant. You never know who you'll run
Luna stepped out of the taxi and took a deep breath, feeling the crisp morning air fill her lungs. The scent of dew-kissed grass and blooming flowers filled her nostrils, and she couldn't help but smile. It had been far too long since she had last set foot in Eddie's green Earth Solution company, and she was eager to get back to work.As she made her way through the hallway, she couldn't help but notice the hushed silence that hung in the air. The usual hum of office chatter and the sound of fingers typing away at keyboards was conspicuously absent. She glanced at her watch and realized that she had arrived much earlier than usual. She shrugged it off and continued walking towards Eddie's office.When she reached his door, she was surprised to find it unlocked. She hesitated for a moment, her heart pounding in her chest, before pushing it open. The room was dimly lit, and it took a moment for her eyes to adjust. As they did, she saw a figure slumped over the desk. It was Eddie, fast a
The day of the trial had finally arrived, and Luna stepped out of Eddie's sleek, black luxury car with him by her side. She took a deep breath, inhaling the crisp morning air and feeling the cool breeze on her face. The courthouse loomed ahead, an imposing figure of justice. She looked around nervously, her heart pounding in her chest."Do you think everything will go smoothly today?" Luna asked Eddie, her voice trembling slightly."Of course," Eddie reassured her, giving her hand a comforting squeeze. "We have the best lawyer in town. Gery will make sure that justice is served."Just then, another luxury car pulled up behind them, a shiny silver sedan. It was Gery's car, the lawyer who was representing Luna and Eddie's acquaintance. Several people in the courthouse lobby fell silent as they watched the two luxury cars pull up, their eyes filled with curiosity and speculation.Luna took a deep breath and walked into the courtroom, her heels clicking on the marble floor. Inside, she sa
I couldn't believe it. I had just won the trial against Ethan, who had accused me of corruption. The atmosphere in the courtroom was tense, and I could feel everyone's eyes on me as Ethan presented his evidence. But then, the unthinkable happened. The video that Ethan claimed was proof of my corruption turned out to be just a cute cat video. The courtroom erupted in laughter, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of relief wash over me.As I sat in my apartment, I couldn't stop watching the news coverage of the trial. It had gone viral, and people all over the world were talking about it. I felt a mix of shock and happiness as I saw the headlines: "A Woman Cleared of Corruption Charges," " Evidence Backfires in Court," "Justice Prevails in a Trial."I let out a sigh of relief and leaned back on my couch. It had been a long and stressful few weeks, but it was finally over. I could finally put this whole ordeal behind me and move on with my life.As I sat there, my stomach growled. I rea
I walked into the lobby of my apartment building, feeling confident in my formal attire. I had a big meeting in Thailand and I wanted to make a good impression. But as soon as I saw Eddie waiting for me, my confidence wavered. He was wearing a casual jacket and jeans, and he couldn't help but tease me for being overdressed. "Luna, you know we're going to a developing country, right? You don't need to dress like you're going to the Oscars," he said with a smirk. I rolled my eyes and tried to brush off his comment, but I couldn't help feeling a little annoyed. I didn't want to look out of place in a foreign country. "Fine, I'll go change," I huffed, turning on my heel and heading back to my apartment. When I returned, Eddie was still waiting for me in the lobby. This time, I was dressed in a more casual outfit, and Eddie gave me a nod of approval. "Better," he said. "Now, let me tell you a little bit about where we're going. Thailand is a developing country, and while it has made gr
