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.

    In a prison in Thailand.Ethan's heart raced as he felt the rough ropes dig into his wrists, binding him to the cold, hard concrete wall of his cell. He could hear the jeers and taunts of his fellow inmates as they closed in around him, their fists clenched and ready to strike. He knew he deserved this, after all, he had hurt Luna,a girl who had nothing to do with any of this and was made to suffer by Ethan and his family.As the first punch landed, Ethan's mind was flooded with memories of Luna. He remembered the way her laughter used to fill the air, the way her eyes sparkled when she was happy, and the way she had looked at him with such love and trust.Ethan remembers how he persuaded Luna to enter into a contract marriage with him and Ethan instead used the contract to torture Luna.He felt a sharp pain in his chest as he realized how much he had hurt her, and how much he had lost."You deserve this," one of the inmates sneered, landing another blow to his stomach.

    Luna's eyelids fluttered open, and she was greeted by the sterile white of the hospital room. She groaned as she tried to sit up, but a firm hand on her shoulder gently pushed her back down."Easy, Luna. You're safe now," Eddie's voice soothed her, and she turned her head to see him sitting by her bedside."Eddie," she croaked, her throat dry. Eddie quickly grabbed a cup of water and helped her take a sip."How are you feeling?" he asked, his eyes filled with concern."I've been better," Luna replied, managing a weak smile. Luna's memories of her imprisonment felt very unreal now. Luna didn't think she could see the bright room now that was different from the dark room where she was kept."You were held captive for two days by Amelia," Eddie said, his jaw clenched. "But I found you and got you out."Eddie told her about how he wondered why Luna couldn't be contacted for a few days. And Eddie decided to check Luna's call log at the police station and found out Luna was getting calls f

All she could do was pray that she would make it out of this alive.This was clearly not a normal detention procedure, Amelia realized that.

    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.

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.

    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

    The sun was setting, casting a warm golden hue over the pristine beach of Eddie's family's private island.

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
