Pure thoughts, Luna 😏
A Few Minutes Later I tried to get my mind off Ethan, but it was just impossible to.The image of him standing in his doorway, looking as hot as fuck was still etched in my memory.And then when he gave me that smirk… that dirty kinky smirk… I liked it.I liked those abs of his, that muscly firm chest, his nipples, his v-line, and the way he stared at me… oh God!I shuddered at my thoughts.Pure thought, Anna, pure thoughts. I've never fantasized about men like this before, not even in my real world. But here I am!He's the reason the plot is changing and I should be pondering on how to get rid of him but I'm here having sexual thoughts about him!I swung my foot off the bed and got to my feet.I'll have to try again. I'll have to face him. I have to get rid of him. I must!I made to step out of the apartment when my phone began to ring.I checked the caller ID, only to see that it was from an unknown number.“Yes, who's this?” I placed the phone on my ear.“Where are you Luna?” A f
I stood at the altar with the bouquet of flowers in my hands, looking as beautiful as the morning rose in the wedding dress, as I waited for my groom to show up. The whole audience seemed to be uncomfortable with every passing second. It's been close to an hour, and my groom is a no-show. Whereas, I already knew. I already knew that my groom wouldn't show up. I already knew that he would call off this wedding at the last minute and put me to shame in front of everyone. I will be everyone's laughingstock. And I will go home, I'll cry my eyes out and then I will become a totally changed person, trying to sabotage the life and relationship of everyone around me. How do I know this? Well, because, this… isn't my life. I'm trapped in this mystical realm of the newly released popular novel “Three Hearts, One Love”. I don't know how I got here, I just woke up one morning and found myself here. And the most painful part is that… I'm not the female lead. Yes, as you already know… I'm
I felt like I was going to run mad! It was all too much to take. It felt like it was real! The betrayal from Adrian, the jeer from the audience, and even Kate! “Luna! Are you okay?” Kate asked worriedly, but to me, it felt like she was worried one bit. “Stay away from me!” I yelled at her and violently shoved her away. With tears streaming down my face, I scrambled to my feet and ran down the aisle. I tripped on my wedding dress and fell face-first on the floor. The whole audience erupted with laughter. “Serves you right bitch!” “She's so pathetic!” “What makes her think she's of Adrian's level?” “Oh, I just love this!” "Nobody loves me!" Their voices became so loud in my ear that I covered my ears with my hands. “Stop!” I yelled, “Please stop! Please! I beg of you! Stop!” The laughter and mocking grew louder each second. Kate got to her feet and ran towards me, “Luna…” “I SAID STAY THE FUCK AWAY FROM ME!” I yelled at the top of my lungs and got to my feet. I tore the
I woke up with a slight throbbing headache. The sunlight shone through the window casting its soft rectangular room on the floor. I got out of bed and let the showers wash away my sorrows. In the original scene, Luna didn't try to make a phone call to Adrian. She didn't cry the next day. Rather, she decided to put him in her rearview mirror the next day and go to work as if nothing happened. I turned off the shower and came into the room and got dressed for work since it was Monday. My mouth watered at the fresh aroma of the bacon, chicken, and cheese Kate was making. Once I was finished dressing, I headed to the living room where Kate was already setting the table. Her pretty big eyes, which the heartless author gave her, widened in shock as she saw me already dressed in work attire. “You're going to work?” She asked in astonishment as she stood staring at me. “Of course,” I answered taking a seat. Then I began to stuff my face. “Don't tell me you think I'll be here doing not
We were practically mad women by the time we reached Gray Enterprises. We were sweating like goats about to be slaughtered as we couldn't get any cab. We ran through the lobby to the elevator. But the elevator was taking too damn long! We could have taken the stairs if the building hadn't been so high! When the elevator finally arrived, we thanked the stars and took it up the floor. Thankfully, Lucas Gray hadn't made a formal introduction to the employees yet. He was in his new office talking to the vice president. Our coworkers were surprised to see me there. They were at the wedding and had seen how I was embarrassed at my wedding day. “Luna, what are you doing here?” One of them asked. “Shouldn't you be at home?” another asked. “Are you okay?” Another asked. To Luna… to me… it felt like they were still mocking me. “I'm fine,” I said a little curtly. “And please, do not worry about me. Thank you.” They were all surprised by my brusqueness, but at that moment, Lucas Gray, a
Question… why do authors do this? Why do they have to make sure the main characters meet memorably? I mean most novels I've read, it's either they have a one-night stand as strangers and then meet at a later time as employee and boss, making the whole situation awkward or the female lead is in distress and the male lead appears out of nowhere and offers solutions or the male lead has an encounter with the daughter of an enemy and ends up falling for her. Either way, their first encounter with each other is always memorable! And either of them has to change their habits! If a main character is initially cold and heartless, he'll change his ways after meeting the other main character. Predictable! Just look at the way Lucas Gray was staring down at Kate for goddamn sake! Initially, he had angrily turned to lash out at the bumper but his expression changed when he recognized her as the girl he had seen reprimanding an asshole. Then the recognition turned to surprise and then to the
My cheeks instantly went red as he called me Crybaby. Why the hell would he call me that? I'm no crybaby! More importantly, why am I blushing? Why is my heart leaping with joy? Why do I feel like the main character right now? Everyone turned to look at me. “Uh, hi,” I said a little awkwardly, raising my hand and waving a little. “What are you doing here?” He asked, approaching us, and I couldn't help but avert my gaze to the floor. Why am I shy? Why does he make me so pleasurably uncomfortable even though I've only met him once? I don't even know his name! “Hello, Mr Gray.” He greeted, shaking hands with Lucas. “It's such a pleasure to meet you.” “Likewise,” Lucas said stoically, shaking his hand. “I happened to be passing by the area and thought to check how things are going so far.” Liar! “Well, as you can see, everything is going so smoothly.” Then, Liam got off the stool and walked towards us, his bare nipples flashing on my face. “Hello, Mr Gray,” He said politely, off
I'm supposed to be the villain. The sabotager. Not the cupid. But here I am, making sure things go the same way they were in the book just so it could end. Lucas Gray and his assistant, Alex were already gone after confirming things were going smoothly. The photoshoot was over and I was waiting for Kate to get changed… she had changed for the photoshoot… when the photographer walked up to me. “Never thought that I would see you again, Crybaby.” He teased, flashing me that hot smile of his. “It's Luna.” I corrected. “So tell me, was I really right?” He asked and I raised my eyebrows. “About what?” I asked although I knew what he was asking. “Is it true that your groom ditched you on your wedding day?” He asked. I rolled my eyes at him, “Yeah, shit happens.” “Are you okay?” He asked, his face etched with genuine worry. I shrugged. It isn't my life. Adrian Johnson sure wasn't my groom. I'm just filling in for a character who abandoned her role. So why wouldn't I b

The Next Day “Are you sure you're not gonna go?” Kate asked for the umpteenth time, jerking my arm. “No,” I replied firmly, pulling my attention back to the book I was reading. Hilarious. Reading a book inside a book! Who knows? I might end up transmigrating into this one! “Come on. Why would you not want to visit the kids you grew up with? They're your friends.” Kate asked. She's asking me to go to my class reunion. In the novel, Luna attends the class reunion but ends up causing trouble. A very big one. She let her sadism take over her. Luna wasn't only hated by the staff of the orphanage, but her fellow orphans discriminated against her. And as if that weren't enough, she was bullied at school with the nickname “Weirdo.”. She had no friends… no one. She just bore it all in silence. Until after the wedding, she snapped. The girl never had it easy. That's why I empathized with her despite being the villain. Maybe that's why she abandoned this role… because the author was to
And indeed, it was a long night.Throughout the meal, I noticed Lucas stealing glances at Chris and me. He was quiet, as usual, but his mere presence was unsettling.As the old slobs talked business, the three of us kept our mouths shut.I thanked the stars when the meal was finally over.I got to my feet, “I'll take my leave, Mr and Mrs Barnes. Everyone, thanks for the meal.”“You're not staying for dessert?” Mrs Barnes queried, looking up at me.“No, I'm afraid not.” I declined politely.“Such a shame.” She lamented, “I was hoping we could get to spend some time together.”“Maybe she'll come over when she gets the time,” Chris added, giving me a sly smile.“Yes, come over next time.”“It was really nice meeting you,” I said, feeling uncomfortable with the way they were all staring at me, including Lucas. “I will.”“Let me take you home.” Chris got to his feet and put his hand on my waist. I saw Lucas's jaw tighten a bit, but I might have been mistaken.Together, Chris and I left the
Chris and I stepped out of the room and headed down the majestic stairs, with Clyde trailing behind us.I felt my heartbeat palpitate as we stepped into the grand hall.When Chris said guests, I didn't expect that there would be dozens of them! No one needed to tell me that they were all business partners of the Barnes family. Rich annoying slobs!All eyes were pointed at me from every corner of the magnificent dining room, piercing into my fragile soul and I felt self-conscious and hurriedly averted my gaze to the floor.“Hi everyone.” Chris greeted “Mom, Dad, this is my girlfriend, the one I've been telling you about, Luna.”“Hello.” I managed to say but my voice didn't sound like mine. “It's an honor to be amidst all of you.”“Hello, Luna.” All of them chorused.“Please, take a seat, dear.” A woman whom I recognized from the description of the novel as Mrs Barnes urged me.“Thank you.”Chris and I moved to the table and took our seats.“Aw, she's so pretty.” One of them complimente
“Anna, where the hell have you been?” My parents exclaimed coming in for a hug, “We were worried sick!”I hugged them tightly, tears dripping from my eyes.Finally!I'm home!I knew it! I knew this was all some silly dream!“Anna!”I disentangled from the hug and turned to see my two little siblings standing at the door with their eyes full of tears.“Anna” They cried and ran to hug me.I embraced them.“We were so worried.” Josh, my only brother mumbled, his voice breaking. “We thought that something might have happened to you.”“How could you just go missing?” Barbie, my youngest sister cried out. “We were so worried!”“I'm finally home now.” I patted their back and ruffled their hair. “I'm not going anywhere.”God, I missed them so much!“We made your favorite dish.” My mom said, a smile of happiness and relief tugging at the side of her lips. “Come.”“Come, let's go.”My two siblings began to pull me towards the dining room.“Hey, wake up.” The voice halted me in my tracks and I
The car was silent as we drove down the road.Every once in a while, Christopher turned to me to see how I was holding up.I still can't believe what the hell just happened. My arms and elbows still hurt like hell and I found myself still trembling from the shock of the gruesome incident.What if those men had turned something extremely unthinkable to me? What would have become of me? Will I die? Or return back to my world? I shuddered at the thought.Christopher didn't bother me with more questions after I refused to give him an answer.Somehow I felt safe around him. Was it because he was one of the male leads?“You still aren't gonna talk to me?” He asked out of the blue, turning his gaze towards me, “What happened? Why do you look like this?”I gave him no answer as I stared out of the window as we drove down the road.“I'm taking you to the hospital, and then I'll contact the police.” He uttered, returning his gaze to the road.“No, I don't want to go to the hospital,” I mumbled,
After the cafe meeting, I strolled down the street, my mind reeling with plans on how to get rid of Ethan. My phone popped up a message and I paused to stare at the screen. “Hello, Senora. Been thinking about you. Can we meet up?” The text read. I didn't need a fortune teller to tell me who the texter was. It was Liam Pierce, he's acting out of character again. More importantly, how did he get my number? I tried to ignore the message when another one came in. This time it was from Kate. “Where are you? And when did you leave?” The text read. I left very early so Kate wouldn't see me dressed this way. “I'm on my way back. See you in a minute.” I texted back. I put the phone back into my handbag, and just as I began to walk again, a white vehicle suddenly pulled up in front of me. Two men wearing face masks burst out of the car and dragged me. “Hey, let go of me!” I screeched and screamed and flailing but the men were too strong for me. “Let go of me you assholes!”
So the plan is to get rid of Ethan. But how? How do I get rid of him? I've been thinking of it for the past week since our encounter and there is only one solution. I have to get my hands dirty. Which means I have to murder him. But I can't do that. Ew! Even if he's still a fictional character, he still feels… so real. I have a conscience. I was still drowning in my thoughts when I halted at the restaurant. Typical, novels have time jumps like “Two weeks later.” “The next day.” So today is Saturday and the rest of the week is blurred out. You must be wondering, how I spend my time during those “weeks/ days” that are blurred, right? I don't. Yesterday was Tuesday, so Saturday, just like how it happened in the novel. In this scene, I'm on a quest to ruin someone's relationship. Like I said, Luna Graves became a sadistic bitch after the wedding and ended up ruining the life and relationship of everyone around her. I opened the glass door and through. I found him sitting on th
“Why do you look so surprised?” His voice snapped me back to reality… or rather, this novel’s reality.“Oh, nothing.”“You look like you've just seen a ghost.” He uttered.Yes, it's the realization that the plot of the book is changing… because of you.“So, you live here.” He said, trying to initiate a conversation. “I didn't realize. And you work for Grey Enterprises, one of the best firms in town.”“Uh… I guess.”“So what's it like working for a man like Lucas Grey?”In the book, Lucas Grey was portrayed as a cold boss, you know, the typical cold boss you normally read about in office romance novels.He was reserved and was irritated by merely people's presence. Like those office romance novels, he had a bad relationship with his father, who had gotten married to his side chick the next week after his mom's fatal death in a car accident. The poor boy was just five. He grew up hating people.He hated noisiness, clumsiness, and incompetence. In the book, after he took over the company
