Theft

LUNAVIA LUMINARI

"Uncle, Why are you suddenly here?" Michael said as I turned to him confused, "When did you have an Uncle?" I turned back to look at the man in front of me.

He looked like striking gentleman in his 30s, I'm not sure because he looks younger with a strong and masculine presence. His tall and athletic build is emphasized by his broad shoulders and a chiseled physique, showcasing defined abs that definitely proved that he had a strict workout routine. His facial features are equally handsome, Totally my type, with chiseled good looks, a strong jawline, and piercing blue eyes that seem to see right through me. And he exudes a confident and charming aura, making me want to spend the rest of the day staring at him.

"Are you done looking?" A cold and Magnetic voice brought me back to reality.

"Oh Sorry. I didn't mean to be so disrespectful" I apologized but it is such a shame that I can't look more.

"Since I'm done here. I will be leaving." I nodded at him intimidated by his domineering look.

"Wait!" Michael held my hand and stopped me from leaving.

"What is it now? Isn't your Uncle here?" I glared at him.

"I need the paintings!" He looked at me with pleading eyes

"What?! What do you want my paintings for? Are you still trying to hold on to something that doesn't belong to you?" I couldn't believe his shamelessness at the moment.

"Mr. Michael, You promised to sale the paintings to us and also introduce us to the artist Miss Nora" Another man who was dressed in suit spoke up, I guess he is the secretary of the Uncle Haven, but what is he saying about painting and Nora.

When did Nora start to paint?!

"I will definitely give you an explanation" Michael fidgeted not knowing what to do, "Luna, can we talk in private?"

"Nelly, Go to the car and bring my painting" I ignored him and turned to Nelly who nodded immediately and went on to bring it.

"Anything you have to say, just say it here. There is no need to go far. Nora, When did you know how to paint? Please don't tell me you are trying to sale the paintings I gifted you out. And not only that, You wanted to give the credit to Nora! Are you Stupid?!"

"Miss..." The secretary looked at me and paused.

"Lunavia or Luna" I told him my name.

"Miss Lunavia, This is a business we have with Mr. Michael and it has nothing to do with you"

"Mister, What's your name?" I asked him I'm return.

"Alexander"

"It has everything to do with me. So please don't interrupt!" I glared at him and then smiled at Mr. Haven who already sat down and was watching the drama with his hands placed on his jaw lazily.

"Miss Luna..."

"Miss, Here" Nelly returned with the paintings, as I took it from him and showed it them.

"I just want to confirm that you are talking about these paintings" I turned it around and showed it to Mr. Alexander.

"Yes. Mr. Michael, This was not what he agreed on" Alexander turned to face Michael.

"Mr. Alexander, I will explain everything to you.

I chuckled lightly, who knew my revenge will start so fast, "There is nothing to explain. Obviously, I'm the one that painted them and not that stupid Nora beside you. How could you even try to sell my gift, don't you have shame?"

"Mr. Alexander is not what it seems like!"

"Let's buy it from her." Mr. Haven who hasn't said a word suddenly stood up and walked up to me.

"Are you sure you painted this? I've been lied to once, lying to me again would mean your death" He looked me dead in the eyes as if to stare into my soul.

Intimidated I took a step back, "I painted it. I have evidence." With that I took out my phone and showed him the video that I made of the process.

"The paintings are so embarrassing, I don't know what you see in them" I put my phone back into my pocket after I was done showing him.

"Give her any price she wants for all the paintings" He ordered his Secretary Alexander who nodded

"What?! Wait! Are you really going to buy this trash?"

"Seems like you've not entered the art world, that's why you don't know the value of what you painted" He looked at me again and returned to his seat.

"How much do you want to sale all the paintings?" Alexander asked me as I was still trying to recover, anyway I wanted to sell it. And the buyer at the moment looks really wealthy.

"Wait a minute" I took out my phone and went aside to make a call.

"Luna! Where the hell are you?! This is not the time for your shenanigans!" Jeremy yelled from the other side

"How much in total do we have as debts?" I asked him immediately

"Why do you want to know? Is not like..."

"Just shut up and tell me. This is the only opportunity"

"About $10 billion" He replied.

"You sure?" I asked again.

"Yes. Just come back home and stop everything that you are doing" Before he could speak again I hung up the phone and looked at Alexander.

"What do you think of $20 billion?" I scratched my head unsure whether they will accept the price. I can still reduce it by half if they negotiate.

I've never helped my family, this is the only option I have. Yes! I'm guilty but I can't bear being broke especially when these dogs are still laughing at me.

Sorry Mom and Dad, Your daughter have turned into a fraudster by selling a painting that has no worth.

"Please provide us with your Account details!"

"I can still reduce it... Wait! What did you say?" I asked unsure whether I heard him correctly.

"Please provide us with your account details. I will make the transaction immediately or do you prefer card?" Alexander asked.

"Wait... Give her the Gold card" Mr. Haven spoke again.

"Ok Boss"

"Miss Luna, In that card there is $20 billion. In return let's sign a contract."

"What Contract?" I ssked

"It will be a discussion of another day. There isn't supposed to be a third party there" He stood up while his Secretary handed me the gold card, and another card which is his business card

"We will contact you soon" With that Mr. Alexander carried all the paintings and left the place like they never came in.

"I also think my business here is done" I smiled at Michael and Nora who looked like they were going to kill me.

"Fortunately I came here today. Who knows how much I would have missed. As my fiancee and my now ex, this is the only good thing you've done for me. Let's go Nelly, We should confirm that the card is legit." I left turned around because I'm definitely going to drink their tears in pleasure.

This is just the beginning
