Chasing His Rejected Luna 148
ATLASAndrew, Annie and I were in the drawing room downstairs, trying to decide who and who where will be in the guest list for the official party I had to throw as the leader of the council. It is supposed to be a formal black tie event and we had to get the big names.In the simple eye, it was supposed to be a way to pay homage to all the people there before you, to show that you respect them. But in reality, it was to show tour influence in the country. Just how many many powerful names can you get under the same roof. How many enemies could you make dine together, even if it ends in shit. The fact they knew the other was coming and they still showed up for you was what the world wanted to see. Even the people in attendance. So we had to be very careful with the guest list.Annie is a socialite. After she left the pack when I got married, she travelled the world and met with a lot other these people. She said to invite the wives. They’ll add it o their husband’s roaster and he’ll a

JADEEver since Jaiya moved here and we had that, should I call it date night? Well, night with her, Antonio and Damien, we have been hanging out every single day. I think we only get separated when we’re going to bed.I haven’t told her I’m pregnant yet. If you ask, I don’t even know what is holding me back. She will literally be the last person to judge. I’ve been thinking about it and so, I call her to see if she wanted to have lunch.She had an early meeting with some people, she sassed she’ll tell me more when we meet. And I thought it would be the perfect time to tell her about the baby. She is my best friend, if I had one.Thinking of best friends. It has been itching me to call Andrew and tell him about the baby. But I know he would tell Atlas and I haven’t reached a conclusion about that. I’m waiting for something to give me the push.Ray joked and asked if I was waiting for a sign from above. And although I looked at her like she had lost her mind. I was waiting for a sign.

JADEJaiya’s meeting ran later than she expected. By the time she called me, she sounded exhausted though she was willing to go. I told her to get some rest and we can have dinner or even just move it to the next day. I was free for the rest of the day since dad told me to take a time off until I’ve sorted everything out with the baby and all.I’m enjoying the little break. Though according to Ray, it isn’t a break. It is a day off.“A break means you travelled and left then house. Went to some excited location and had lots of fun. You just having day offs on day offs.” There was no way to convince her otherwise so I didn’t even try.Jaiay didn’t call even when dinner time rolled in. I called the front desk at her apartment complex, in case she was sleeping, I didn’t want to wake her up. They confirmed she was so I just decided to stay and have dinner at home.Dad was around and it was fun. Aiden still wasn’t back and when I asked, dad just shook his head. I turned to Ray and she sh

JADE“You have to go!” There was no room for argument in Jaime’s tone.I looked up from my phone and shook my head but she just gave me a less than impressed look before repeating what she had said earlier.“Who am I even kidding? You are gong.” I groaned and shook my head, she pretended she didn’t see that. “This is the biggest event of the year. Of the century and I want you to stick it in that man’s face and show him what he lost.”I moved to lay on my back, still trying to argue my way out of this. Not because I didn’t want to go, but I didn’t think everyone else would have said yes. Jaiya of all people. I expected a firm no from her and here she is, telling me to wear some sultry dress and go to the event that way.“Erm, even if I wanted to ruin this for Atlas, which I have no plans of doing, I’ll be putting my reputation on the line and I don’t think that is the idea my father had in his head when he told me to go.”She groaned loudly in disappointment. “This is our biggest chan

JADEThe past few days, I’ve been walking on gee shells. Egg shells I laid by myself because of all the thoughts running through my mind. I wasn’t planning on going with Jaiya’s plan, although it was a tempting idea. I didn’t want this to turn into some sort of game.My child isn’t just some kind of way to win a fight with Atlas. And as much as I would love to throw him off his game, since he as so good at doing it to others. I wouldn’t.I have reached one conclusion though. I will tell him. I just haven’t decided when.“Well, if you ever plan on telling him,” Ray was saying. I wasn’t fully listening to her but she is insisting on talking about this, right now.I wanted to scream.“You better do it soon.” I peeped from my closet, giving her a look.She was on the bed, holding some sort of textbook in her hand. She is supposed to be studying, but she has decided my life was a lot more interesting than her books. And I’m entertaining her because well, she may act like she is okay but da

ATLASI smiled at Annie, seeing how she was running around, trying to make sure that everything is perfect. When she came to pass by me, I captured her arm, stoping her.“You should relax,” I said, then looked down the simple shirt and jeans she was wearing. “And maybe go get dressed too. I’m sure you don’t want to be late.”She is breathing heavily when she replied. “I know, I know. I just want everything to be perfect.”“And it will be,” I cupped her cheeks, my thumb stroking her soft skin. “Stop stressing too much and go get dressed. We don’t want to be late.”She stared into my eyes for a few quiet seconds before nodding with a sigh.“Okay.” I nodded and released her.She rushed up the stairs, not before ease threw a command at one of the workers to act like they hd blood I their veins. With a smile my way, she disappeared up the stairs. I found myself watching where she was just standing.I sighed and looked away, taking note of the decorations she had out around the house. The e

JADE“Oh, you look so perfect.” Jaiya practically had hearts in her eyes when she was looking at me.I took in how perfect she looked too and told her just that. Then I twirled in front of the mirror, taking note of the way the day dress hugged my figure. It was a deep emerald, which brought out the cool of my eyes. Or at least, that is what both Ray and Jaiya said.It was custom made by Jaiya favourite designer. The material is sort of silky but not really silk. It just has that texture. I don’t remember what it is called but he mentioned it in his which French accent. It has a high neckline but bare sleeves, so I had to forfeit a bra. A rope was tied at the back, which holds the dress up. It flows to the ground. Not articular free but not skintight either.One of my legs is exposed with the thigh high slit. I paired the dress with hold heels and a pretty gold clutch, which had small emerald gems all around. I asked if they were real and Jaiya only laughed in her ‘you don’t want to k

JADEI didn’t realise I as bonding my foot nervously until Antonio placed a hand on my knee. He didn’t say anything but the soft stroke of his thumb over my bare skin distracted me from other thoughts. We were taking a helicopter that’ll take us to the venue which was located in the central. Kind of between the main town and where dad lives.It should be thirty minutes in all. Ad the drive was fifteen. Damien and Jaiya were already there as they had left before us. I thought we would all take a car which was’t the case. For thirty minutes we spoke and laughed and it was one of the best experiences of my life. But as the helicopter landed and we got into the back of the waiting limo, the worry that has been in my mind slowly started tricking back.Shit.i told myself to breathe in and out, doing my best to regulate my breathing. Antonio wordlessly slipped his hand into mine, intertwining our fingers. He kissed the back of my hand, which stole my breath.“You’ll be fine.” He whispered ag
