Chasing His Rejected Luna 189
JADEI freeze hearing that. Jaya doesn’t look any better with her widened eyes, almost filled with horror. I tried to come to terms with it. Remembering the weird energy I felt between them. But I said I was going to mind my business so I never brought it up. Now, I don’t know if I should have or not. Because she looks like she is about to have a metal breakdown.“Once?” The question slipped out. And I wanted to smack myself in the head because why does it matter if it was once? She seems haunted by it.I was ready to apologise for stepping over the line when I saw the slight shake of her head. It was very small, I would have missed it if I wasn’t studying her so well.“Twice?” Another subtle shake of her head. I reached for the bottle of water on the coffee table table and gulped down more than half of it in one go. My stomach rumbled, not agreeing with it because it was one things happening to my body to another. “How many times? Jesus.”The way I sounded must have been funny becaus

JADEI didn’t understand what Jaiya meant by that. Why did she have to reject Damien? They seem to like each other well enough, so what exactly is coming between them? It doesn’t make any sense to me. Though, she looks like she is not in the right frame of mind to answer that question right now. I didn’t push her either, I wrapped my arms around her and comforted her until she stopped crying.We were both quite for the longest time. The only sound that could be heard in the apartment was the honks of cars from outside. And even that was faint.The doorbell rang and I got up to answer it before she could make a move.When I opened the door, there was no one there. The anxiety started coming back at full force. I remained calm, as much as I could with shaking hands and peeked looked around. But there was nowhere toe even look, it was just a little foyer that leads to the elevator. I pressed the elevator button and it opened a short second later. Which meant, no one was using it. Who ran

ATLASJade hasn’t reached out or even looked for me. At the very least, send a message. I thought she would do at least one of that after the message I left her, but nothing. It was like I wasn’t even existing and that was the worst feeling ever. I hated every part of it.I would take her anger any day. Her yelling or telling me anything she wanted, over this simple game of ignoring me. It was making me go crazy.I find myself pacing my hotel room more times than not. Staring at the telephone in the room and waiting to be called from the reception because she is here asking for my room.Or just looking at my door, expecting her to knock and just walk in.I have thought up every possible scenario you can think of and none of that has happened yet. The only thing I am doing is wearing a hole in the carpet on the floor of the room. I couldn’t turn my phone off because I was hoping for a call or message form Jade. So, I muted Andrew instead. Because he was still texting me.I think he has

ATLASI don’t know why I thought Ford would seem different, now that I knew exactly who he was. Not just come very rich businessman. Though, as much as he was in my good books for taking Jade in and everything, I still have a little doubt about him, knowing he is friends with Brandon.That man may share the same blood and name with my father, but they couldn’t be further apart. Even a random stranger could have more similarities to my father than him. To know he is hid blood brother. It pisses me off for some reason.Ford leads me to his office, which was a subtle message that I didn’t miss. he was too professional to tell me to get out of his house. He would never say those exact words, but going out of his way to show me I’m not welcome, now, the political side of him will do that.Maybe I can see how they are friends with Brandon. They were all so manipulative, silent in how they controlled you because they’ll make you think you’re actually doing what you want.I remind myself to b

JADEAfter losing through the security footage and reaching the conclusion that it was tweaked, we decided to he’d back to the house because it didn’t feel safe anymore in the penthouse. Even with all the security, if someone could get in and out without being seen, then who knows what else they are capable of.While the car was rolling through the driveway, I noticed figure heading towards the gate.“Is that—“ Jaiya took the words right out of my mouth. Our attention was both on the man who was walking alone, looking like he couldn’t not anything going on around him.I sat back in my seat and released a breath.“What is he doing here?” Jaiya once again said the words I was thinking, only she sounded a lot more angry than confused.I was positively speechless. Atlas? Here? It looks like some sort of bad dream.“I guess we just solved the mystery of the invisible roses bringer and anonymous tipper.” I muttered under my breath, closing my eyes and forcing myself to not look at where he

JADEDad said he’ll give me time to think it over, which was shocking. I mean, I really couldn’t understand the man anymore. One time, he acts like he wants me to get rid of Atlas in the next second, and in the next minute, he is acting like someone trying to get us back together, I’m getting confused now.It has been a day since I came home and saw Atlas leaving, and now, I had to live with the reality that he was close. Jaiya said meeting him would be the best way to fire figure out what he was doing here. But I wouldn’t do that unless I had absolutely no other choice.Just the thought of it makes my belly churn with anxiety, and I am no doctor but I know that is not good for me or my baby. Speaking of which, I rechecked the time on the digital clock, estimating how many minutes until Antonio arrives.After the day long closed door meeting they had, he’d headed to his apartment and slept because he was really exhausted. Dad was the same too because I haven’t seen hi since our conver

JADEThe doctor, Nadeen, smiled, when she saw us. I have been seeing her specially since I found out I was pregnant and she has been a great help. Dad specifically chose her because she has been working in the family for years. She was even the one that delivered Ray and Aiden.Speaking of the twins. The news of dad and their mum’s divorce has been leaked to the press. Though from what he has said, she did it by herself to try and force his hands or just make a mess. He don’t know which she wanted but apparently.

I make a mental note to plan things for us to do so she’ll be busy and distracted.The doctor returned with a nurse, the same one we see every time we come. Anti is by my side through it all. His hands in mine, intertwining our fingers. His hold tightens when I give a little flinch. No matter how many times I do this, the f

But I only lasted a few hour before eight gouda myself searching through dozens of clips to try and understand Jade’s schedule. If she even had one that was public.It worked well enough that I knew what time she usually left her house. The thought of how I easily got that annoyed the hell out of me. Because it wasn’t safe. If I could get that in just a few short hours, then someone else planning to hurt her will probably do it in less time.She has security, I know. But I have always believed it is better to prevent rather than cure.So, under the guise of keeping her safe because her father’s idea of tat was definitely flawed, I followed her around.
