The man who had been watching Luna, a young woman who was one of the foreigners, was named Ravi. He was a local businessman who had a reputation for being cunning and ruthless. He had gathered three of his trusted associates in the hut to discuss their plan.

You can already tell from the way they gather that they're discussing something with bad intentions.

"We need to make sure that these foreigners understand that we are in control here," Ravi said, pacing back and forth. "They come into our town with their big ideas and their money, thinking they can just do whatever they want. But we know how things really work around here."

His associates nodded in agreement. This kind of thing is actually common, there must be a small group of people who want to take advantage of outsiders in their place too.

"We will tell them that we need a certain amount of money to ensure the success of their project," Ravi continued. "If they refuse to pay, we will make sure that they face delays and obstac

    Luna quickly got dressed and rushed outside to see what was happening. She saw a group of angry villagers throwing rotten chicken eggs at the house she was staying in. They were shouting and accusing her of being a thief who wanted to steal their village's wealth.Luna was shocked and confused. She had only arrived in the village in several days and had not even had a chance to meet most of the villagers. She had no idea why they would think she was there to steal from them."What's going on?" Luna asked one of the villagers. "Why are you doing this?""You're a thief!" the villager shouted. "We know you're here to steal our wealth!""I'm not a thief!" Luna protested. Luna had even explained her purpose for coming to the village, which was to build a new water source and also do some trading, with Luna buying compost fertilizer from the farmers in the village.But the villagers would not listen. They continued to shout and throw eggs, and eventually, they started to chase Luna away."

    As I watched the group of ranchers approach, my heart sank when I saw Ravi among them. His face was unreadable, but something about his demeanor seemed off. He avoided making eye contact with me, and I could tell that something was weighing heavily on his mind.Indeed, it was Eddie who requested that Ravi come again after the incident this morning. This was so that the problem could be resolved quickly and not drag on.Eddie must have noticed it too, because he stepped forward to meet Ravi, his eyes narrowing as he took in the other man's expression."What's going on, Ravi?" Eddie asked, his voice low and dangerous.Ravi hesitated for a moment before finally meeting Eddie's gaze. There was a flicker of fear in his eyes, quickly masked by a look of defiance.Obviously, because this morning Ravi saw how Eddie took out the five villagers who were the pioneers of the anarchic protest that morning. They didn't even care what happened to me, and continued to protest in front of this house e

    I knew that we needed time to investigate the mining company first. Eddie also told me to be patient for a while because the company was in Thailand and Eddie needed time to uncover the owner's information.So today we decided to cook Thai food first. And Eddie specially found a cook to teach me.I took a deep breath as I watched the Thai villager, Auntie Mae, prepare the ingredients for Pad Thai. The aroma of the spices filled the air, and I couldn't wait to learn how to make this delicious dish. Eddie, on the other hand, seemed more interested in making jokes than learning."Hey Luna, do you think they use real Thai chilies in this? I heard they're so spicy they can make your head explode!" Eddie chuckled at his own joke, but I rolled my eyes."Actually, Eddie, Thai chilies are used to add heat to the dish, but it's not about making it as spicy as possible. It's about balancing the flavors," I replied, trying to keep my tone light.Auntie Mae smiled at me and nodded in approval. "Th

    As I sat in my room, my mind couldn't help but wander to the information surrounding Ravi's father's death. I had always heard whispers about the dangers of illegal mining companies and their disregard for the law. I pulled out my phone and began to search for information on the legality of coal mines in Thailand.I don't know why, but I felt I had to solve Ravi's problem because I had also promised him.As I scrolled through the articles, my heart sank. It seemed that these companies were often responsible for the destruction of local communities and the environment. I couldn't help but feel a sense of anger and frustration towards these corporations and their greed.Just as I was about to put my phone down, it suddenly rang. The number was unknown, and a chill ran down my spine. I hesitated for a moment before answering, unsure of who could be calling me at this hour."Hello?" I said tentatively."Luna, it's Ethan," the voice on the other end replied.My heart skipped a beat. Ethan

    Ethan walked into the house, carrying several shopping bags filled with clothes for his mother. His mother, a stern woman with a sharp tongue, looked up from her knitting as he entered the room."Ah, Ethan, you're back," she said, her eyes lighting up at the sight of the bags. "What have you brought me this time?"Ethan smiled and handed her the bags. "Just a few things I thought you might like, Mother," he said.His mother rummaged through the bags, pulling out dresses and blouses and holding them up against herself. "Oh, these are lovely, Ethan," she said, her voice filled with genuine delight. "You always know just what I like."Ethan felt a twinge of guilt at the lie he was about to tell, but he pushed it aside. He needed to keep his mother happy, and if that meant lying to her, then so be it."Where's Amelia?" his mother asked suddenly, looking up from the clothes. "I haven't seen her in a while."Ethan hesitated for a moment before answering. "She's on vacation, Mother," he said

    The news of Ethan's ilegar mining company being shut down by the Thai government had reached Eddie and Luna and somehow Eddie seemed to want to tease Luna a little now.Eddie's grip on Luna's chin was firm but not painful. He looked into her eyes with a serious expression, "I hope you're satisfied with how things turned out, Luna. I know how much this meant to you."Luna's eyes widened in surprise at Eddie's sudden display of dominance. She had always seen him as a kind and gentle person, but in this moment, she saw a different side of him. She felt a strange mix of emotions - fear, excitement, and respect."I...I am satisfied, Eddie," she stammered, trying to regain her composure. "Thank you for helping me with my revenge."Eddie released her chin and smiled, "Good. I'm glad to hear that. Now, let's focus on the project. I want to make sure that the villagers have access to clean water and that our plantation is successful."Luna nodded, feeling a renewed sense of determination. She

    Ethan slowly made his way to Luna's old apartment, his heart still heavy from the recent hospitalization. He had hoped that Luna would be there, that she would forgive him for all the pain he had caused her. But as he approached the door, Luna's apartment was still locked and there was no sign of anyone there.Yes, it's natural because Luna previously moved there to escape from Ethan's violent pursuit at that time.Despite this, Ethan couldn't help but feel a flicker of anger towards Luna. He had always blamed her for his misfortunes, for the downward spiral his life had taken since they had broken up. He kicked the door open and began banging on it, shouting harsh words into the empty room."Luna! Where are you? You can't just disappear like this! I need you!"As he looked around the apartment, Ethan felt a wave of sadness wash over him. His life had truly been ruined - he had fallen into poverty, and his company had been taken over by Amelia, who was supposed to be his future wife.

    Luna and Eddie stepped off the elevator and made their way down the hallway towards Luna's apartment. As they approached, Luna noticed that the door to her apartment was hanging off its hinges. She gasped in shock and covered her mouth with her hand.Luna already had a bad feeling seeing that. Luna hadn't visited her old cheap apartment in a long time and didn't expect to see something like this."What the hell happened here?" Eddie asked, looking around at the mess inside the apartment. Luna's clothes were strewn about the floor and furniture was overturned.Luna's heart sank as she suspected that her ex-husband, Ethan, was behind this. She had left him a few months ago.Ethan was also Luna's abusive ex-husband and only EThan knew the location of Luna's old apartment. Because of this, the perpetrator Luna was most sure of was Ethan the ex-husband.What's more, Luna discovered Ethan's illegal coal mining holdings in Thailand earlier and Luna reported to the Thai authorities.

    Ethan sat in the corner of his small, dingy cell, hunched over a bowl of flavorless rice porridge. He had been in this Thai prison for what felt like an eternity, and the bland food was starting to take its toll on him. He had vomited several times already, unable to stomach the tasteless mush.Just as he was forcing himself to take another bite, the sound of footsteps echoed down the hallway. Ethan's heart raced as the prison warden appeared in front of his cell. The man's stern expression told Ethan all he needed to know. His execution date had been set.Ethan felt the bile rise in his throat as the warden informed him that he had three months left to live. He couldn't believe it. He had always known that he was wrong, that he was an asshole. But he had never truly faced the consequences of his actions until now.Desperate, Ethan tried to bribe the warden with the little money he had left. But the man just laughed in his face. "You think your money can buy you a way out of this?" he

    Eddie was already dressed in a tailored suit, his hair slicked back and a determined look in his eyes as he paced back and forth in the hotel room. Luna had just woken up, her hair tousled and her eyes groggy. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and sat up in bed, taking in Eddie's serious demeanor."What's going on?" she asked, her voice still thick with sleep.Eddie stopped pacing and turned to face her. "We need to prepare before we go to the auction," he said, his tone grave.Luna's eyes widened in understanding. "Right, the auction," she said, throwing off the covers and swinging her legs over the side of the bed.Eddie nodded. "I've made arrangements for us to go to a clothing store. It's one of the best in Paris and they have branches all over Europe. It's also my store," he added with a small smile.Luna raised an eyebrow. "Your store?" she asked, surprised.Eddie nodded. "One of many businesses I own. I figured it would be the perfect place to find you something to wear to the

    Luna and Eddie sat on a bench near the police station, the cool evening breeze rustling the leaves around them. Eddie's eyes were fixed on the station, his mind racing with thoughts. Luna, on the other hand, was deep in thought, trying to piece together the mystery of why Lyra Thomson was working with the other, evil Lyra.Eddie turned to Luna, "Have you figured out what Lyra's plan is? What do you think she's going to do now?"Luna looked up, her eyes meeting Eddie's. "I think I have an idea. She took my necklace and ring, right? Maybe she's planning on selling them."Eddie's eyes widened in surprise. "That's a smart deduction, Luna.""You are right about that. And not only that, that Lyra has other plans regarding the jewelry she stole.""Yeah, but that's the jewelry we gave her..." Luna said quietly with guilt but Eddie gave a small laugh."Never mind that, it was our last wish to solve your problem"Luna smiled weakly. "We have to save her, Eddie. We can't let her get mixed up in

He could see the fear in Luna's eyes, but he knew he couldn't let it show. He had to protect her.Despite Eddie having taken down several people earlier, the thugs remained undeterred and showed no signs of fear.He took a deep breath and focused, his training kicking in. He knew he couldn't take on all fifteen men at once, but he could handle a few at a time. He scanned the group, looking for the weakest link.Two men stepped forward, their fists clenched. Eddie knew they were the ones he had to take down first. He braced himself, ready for the attack.The first man lunged at him, but Eddie was quick on his feet.

    Luna sank deeper into the bubbling jacuzzi, letting the warm water soothe her tired muscles. The private island was a paradise, and Ethan's house was the perfect getaway. She closed her eyes and let out a content sigh, feeling the stress of the past few weeks melt away.This is the best way to pamper yourself after the nightmare Luna had last night.After her bath, Luna wrapped herself in a fluffy towel and made her way to her room. She noticed a missed call on her phone from a number she didn't recognize. Curious, she dialed it back and waited for the other person to pick up.The voice on the other end was hysterical, sobbing uncontrollably. It took Luna several moments to realize it was Lyra Thomson, the owner of the flower shop she had visited with Eddie in the past."Lyra, what's wrong? What happened?" Luna asked, her heart racing.It took several minutes for Lyra to calm down enough to speak coherently. When she finally did, her words sent a chill down Luna's spine."It's Emily.

    The sun was setting, casting a warm golden hue over the pristine beach of Eddie's family's private island. Luna sat under a large umbrella, her toes digging into the soft sand as she watched the waves gently lap against the shore. She had always loved the ocean, its vastness and mystery a source of endless fascination for her.Luna's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps approaching. She turned to see Eddie's mother, a kind-faced woman with a gentle smile, making her way towards her. Luna stood up to greet her, feeling a little nervous. She had always been intimidated by Eddie's mother, who seemed to carry an air of authority and wisdom about her."Hello, Luna," Eddie's mother said, her voice warm and inviting. "I hope you're enjoying your time on the island.""Yes, thank you," Luna replied, smiling politely. "It's beautiful here."Eddie's mother took a seat next to Luna under the umbrella, her eyes scanning the horizon. They sat in silence for a moment, the sound of the

Eddie was adjusting the large telescope, while Luna waited patiently by his side.After all the trouble with Luna before, Eddie was relieved that they could finally relax and enjoy each other's company. He glanced over at Luna, who was looking up at the stars with a sense of wonder in her eyes. Eddie couldn't help but feel a sense of affection for her."There, it's all set up," Eddie said, stepping back from the telescope. "Take a look."Luna eagerly approached the telescope and peered through the eyepiece. She gasped as she saw the stars up close, their light twinkling brighter than ever bef
