Mommy, Which one is Daddy? The Luna's Comeback with Secrets Chapter 31
Carina’s POVI sat in my office, staring blankly at the desk in front of me. My mind raced with thoughts I couldn’t quiet. How could this happen? The investors were from my stepfather’s company. It didn’t make sense. Did he know it was me? Or worse, did his sons know?The very thought of them made my stomach twist. I didn’t want to see them—ever. I gripped the edge of my desk, my knuckles turning white.“What are the chances?” I muttered under my breath. “Of all the companies in the world…”A sharp cough broke through my thoughts. Startled, I looked up to see Lisa standing at the door.“Lisa! I didn’t hear you come in,” I said, my voice shaky.She gave me a knowing smile. “That’s because you were miles away, boss. Are you okay?”“Yeah, I’m fine,” I lied, forcing a smile. “What’s up?”“I just came to let you know the driver has taken the boys home. Your meeting ran long, so I figured it was best to get them settled.”I exhaled a small sigh of relief. “Thanks, Lisa. I appreciate that.”

Carina’s POVThe car hummed softly as we made our way home. I sat in the back, my phone in hand, scrolling through the Kowalski Group’s website. My mind wouldn’t stop racing. Why now? Why my company? After all these years, I had done everything to leave them behind. My stepbrothers, their cruel jokes, the endless torment—and my mother, who never stood up for me.I sighed and closed my eyes for a moment. Even thinking about it made my chest feel tight. Sure, I missed my mom sometimes, but leaving was the best decision I’d ever made. Still, today had been a whirlwind, and my nerves were shot.“Long day, ma’am?” my driver, Alex, asked suddenly, his voice breaking through my thoughts.I looked up at him in the rearview mirror. He had a warm smile, his eyes filled with kindness.“You could say that,” I replied with a small smile. “How about you? The boys didn’t give you too much trouble, did they?”Alex laughed, shaking his head. “Trouble? Those two are the definition of trouble! Liam woul

Carina’s POVI walked into the bar at the corner of my parlor, my footsteps heavy with exhaustion. My hands reached for the bottle of whiskey almost instinctively. Pouring myself a glass, I felt a moment of calm, but it didn’t last long. My mind was racing too fast for any drink to keep up.As I raised the glass to my lips, I heard footsteps on the stairs. I turned just in time to see Ethan coming down, his face flushed, hair slightly messy. “Whew!” he said, plopping onto the nearest stool. “Those kids are a handful. Leo tried to climb onto my shoulders while Liam declared himself king of the living room.”I laughed, reaching for another glass. “You’re their official play partner, Ethan. You signed up for this,” I teased, pouring him a drink and sliding it across the counter.“Yeah, yeah,” he replied with a chuckle, taking a sip. “But seriously, you look wiped out. What’s going on? Work giving you trouble?”I let out a heavy sigh, swirling the whiskey in my glass. “You could say that.

Carina’s POVThe D day to meet my stepfather came, I stepped into the office, my heels clicking against the polished floor. The usual buzz of my team greeted me, but my nerves were on edge. Today wasn’t just another workday. Today, I was supposed to meet him.I clutched my coffee cup a little tighter, its warmth barely soothing my racing heart. I tried to remind myself to breathe. This wasn’t the same Kowalski I grew up knowing—or so I hoped.Lisa met me by my office door, her tablet in hand and her expression brighter than mine. “Good morning, Ms. Carter. You ready for the big meeting?”“As ready as I’ll ever be,” I said, forcing a smile.Lisa frowned slightly. “You okay? You look… tense.”“Just a lot on my mind,” I admitted, brushing past her and setting my bag down on my desk.“Well, don’t worry. You’ve got this. And Mr. Kowalski is already in the conference room waiting for you. He arrived early, by the way.”“Great,” I muttered under my breath, taking a long sip of coffee.Lisa t

Carina’s POV“Lisa,” I called out as I walked back into my office. My voice was sharp, and I didn’t care if it showed how tense I felt.She looked up from her laptop, eyebrows raised. “Yes, Carina?”“I need you to reschedule the meeting with the marketing team,” I said, pacing. “Move it to tomorrow. Also, draft an email to the investors thanking them for today’s session. Make it professional, but warm.”Lisa nodded, already typing. “Got it. Anything else?”“Yes. Forward me the budget report. I’ll review it later tonight.” I stopped pacing and looked at her. “And… hold my calls for the rest of the day.”Lisa’s fingers paused on the keyboard. She looked at me with concern. “Carina, are you okay?”I forced a smile. “I’m fine. Just need to step out for a bit. Clear my head.”She hesitated, then nodded. “Alright. Let me know if you need anything.”“Thanks, Lisa.” I grabbed my bag and headed out before she could ask any more questions.I didn’t plan to end up at the bar, but my feet seemed

Carina’s POVI quickly picked up my phone to dial Ethan’s number, but it wasn’t going through.“God!” I muttered under my breath, standing on the busy street. My hands trembled as I stared at the screen, trying again. Still nothing. Panic was settling in, like an unwanted guest. My mind raced.“Lisa! Lisa!” I said, scrolling furiously through my contacts. After what felt like forever, I finally tapped her name. The phone rang once. Twice. Three times.“Hello, ma’am,” Lisa’s calm voice answered.“Lisa, contact my driver and have him pick me up at this location. I’ll send you the address now,” I barked, already typing.“Okay, ma’am. On it,” she replied and hung up.I sent her the address and exhaled deeply. My hands were still shaking. What is happening? My life was perfect. So why does everything feel like it’s crumbling now, especially after what I’ve discovered? Something from my past… something I thought was buried.The car arrived sooner than I expected. I jumped in and slammed the

Carina’s POVThe message blinked on my phone screen, bright and menacing: "You think you’re smart, right????"My stomach dropped. Before I could process it, another notification popped up. With trembling fingers, I scrolled down."You think the police will save you from all this... If you want your children, Liam and Leo, to be safe, meet me at the abandoned cathedral yard by 11 PM tonight. Or your sons and your so-called friend Ethan will die."The phone slipped from my hand, clattering to the floor. My heart raced, pounding in my ears. For a moment, I couldn’t breathe.“Carina!” Ethan’s voice snapped me out of my panic. He was at my side in an instant, his hands on my shoulders, steadying me. “What’s wrong? Are you okay?”I shook my head quickly and snatched up the phone, holding it close. “Nothing,” I said, forcing my voice to sound calm. “I’m fine.”His eyes narrowed. “Carina, you’re shaking. Don’t tell me it’s nothing.”“I’m just... overwhelmed,” I said, plastering on a fake smil

CHAPTER 39Chapter 39: My Bullies, my Stepbrothers, My MatesCarina’s POVAs we walked back toward the house, my mind was racing. My phone vibrated in my hand, the notifications relentless. I clenched it tightly, afraid Ethan would notice. He was already watching me too closely. I needed to distract him—fast.“Ethan,” I said, breaking the silence.“Yeah?” he replied, looking over at me.“What do you think about... going back?” I asked, my voice shaky.He frowned. “Going back? What do you mean?”“Like... going back to see my mom,” I said. “And everyone else.”Ethan’s steps slowed, and he turned to face me. “Carina, you know how that affected you the last time you were there.”“I know,” I said quickly. “But maybe it’s different now. Maybe it’s time.”He shook his head. “For me, this isn’t the right time. You’ve got enough on your plate already. Why add more to it?”I sighed, kicking a loose stone on the road. It bounced ahead, echoing in the quiet night. “I just feel like Liam and Leo n

Mommy, Which one is Daddy? The Luna's Comeback with Secrets The end
PROLOGUESkyla’s sister, Brianna who was in love with Antonio arrived. They had Lisa locked up while they both dragged Carina to the edge of a rocky cliff even as Carina struggled against the hands gripping her arms. The rocky cliff’s edge looked so dangerous, even as thorns shone from below."Let me go!" she screamed, thrashing against the cruel grip of the Skylar and her sister Brianna.The first woman, Skylar, laughed darkly. "Oh, sweet little Carina. Did you really think we’d let you ruin everything?"The second woman, Brianna, leaned in closer, her breath warm against Carina’s cheek. "You took everything from us. And now, we’re making sure you never come back."Carina’s heart pounded so hard she thought it might explode. "I don’t even know you! What the hell are you talking about?"Skylar’s grip tightened, nails digging into Carina’s skin. "Oh, but you do. You just don’t remember. You stole them. You made them look at you like we never existed. You turned them against us!"Briann

CHAPTER 126Carina’s POV"What's the noise all about?" Skylar's voice cut through the air, smooth and sharp, as she stepped out of the shadows. Two men flanked her, their eyes cold and unreadable.Lisa, who had been running her mouth nonstop, suddenly shut up. Her whole body went stiff as she sized up the situation. And from what we saw? Skylar wasn’t here to talk. She was here to make sure we didn’t leave in one piece."Shit," Lisa whispered under her breath, barely moving her lips. Her hand brushed against mine, fingers trembling slightly. "What do we do?"I swallowed hard, my pulse hammering in my ears. "I have no fucking idea."Skylar took a slow step forward, her smirk widening. "You know, Carina, I expected you to come alone. But I see you brought a little… insurance. How sweet."Lisa scoffed, but there was tension in her voice. "Yeah? And I see you brought muscle. Real fair fight, huh?"The man on Skylar’s left—a tall guy with a scar running down his cheek—cracked his knuckles.

CHAPTER 125Carina’s POV“Shit..." I muttered, squeezing my eyes shut as Lisa pressed another cotton pad against my wound. The sting burned straight to my bones. "I just remembered... Deven!" I winced, gripping the edge of the table. "I’m supposed to meet Skylar today! We have an appointment."Lisa froze. Her hand, still holding the antiseptic, hovered over my skin. Her face darkened, brows pulling together in a deep frown. "Carina..." she called my name, slow and serious, like she was afraid of what I’d say next.I blinked. It had been a long time since she used my name like that. Not 'girl' or 'dumbass'—but my actual name. My chest tightened.Lisa placed the antiseptic bottle on the table, leaning forward, eyes locked onto mine. "Skylar is pure doom. You know that, right?"I swallowed. "Lisa, she said she can help me sever the bond... If I do that, I’ll finally know the whole truth."Lisa, who had been quiet in the corner, suddenly scoffed. Her voice was sharp, almost bitter. "It’s

CHAPTER 124Carina’s POVI had to leave this restaurant. The air felt thick, and something in my gut told me I shouldn’t stay here too long. I glanced toward the entrance just as a group of rogue wolves came in. They were rough-looking—like they’d been on the road since morning. Clothes dusty, eyes hollow, their energy was off.Weird set of people.I lowered my gaze, pretending not to notice them as I reached for my watch and jewelry, slipping them into my bag. I didn’t want any trouble. If they saw anything shiny, they might think I had something worth taking. Best to play it safe.But as I was tucking the last ring into my bag, I heard a voice behind me. Low. Rough. Dripping with arrogance.“Pretty girl, come closer.”I stiffened. My grip on my bag tightened. I didn’t turn around. Maybe if I ignored them, they’d leave me alone.“I said, come here.” His voice was louder now. More demanding.Lisa tensed beside me. “Don’t,” she whispered. “Let’s just go.”I swallowed hard, still refusi

CHAPTER 123Carina’s POVI didn’t even know what to think at this point. My mind was a fucking mess. My head was spinning. My heart was pounding so damn hard I thought it might burst.Rodrigo. My stepbrother. Skylar. His ex-wife. And now this? What did it even mean?Lisa’s voice snapped me out of it. “Carina,” she said, her tone sharp. “What if—” She hesitated. “What if he was actually working with Henry?”I stared at her. My throat felt dry. “No,” I said, but it was weak. It wasn’t convincing. Because deep down, I knew—It was possible.Lisa slammed a hand on the table. “Think about it! Henry kidnapped your son. Henry works for someone. And now we find out Rodrigo’s past is tangled up in some shady-ass shit? What if it’s all connected?”I shook my head, standing up and pacing. “No, no, no. Rodrigo might be a lot of things, but would he really do this?”Lisa’s eyes darkened. “Do you really wanna bet your son’s life on that?”That hit me hard. My stomach twisted. I swallowed down the f

CHAPTER 122Carina’s POVI didn’t answer. My heart pounded as I stared at the words written in thick, dark ink. Words I never thought I’d see.Rodrigo was behind your son’s kidnap.I swallowed hard. Looked up at Skylar.She nodded. “Now do you believe me?”I read the words again. My hands shook. My breath caught in my throat. My head was spinning like I was about to pass out. What the actual fuck?Rodrigo was behind your son’s kidnap.My stepbrother?No. No way. That was impossible. Rodrigo may have been an asshole, but this? Kidnapping? My son?I looked up at Skylar, my voice barely above a whisper. “What the fuck do you mean?”She crossed her legs, completely unfazed by my reaction. “Exactly what it says.”Lisa snatched the paper from my hand, her eyes scanning over the words. Then, like a bomb exploding, she lost it.“Are you fucking kidding me?” Lisa threw the paper onto the table, glaring at Skylar like she was ready to rip her apart. “You come in here with this bullshit, expecti

CHAPTER121Carina’s POVLisa strolled in just as the investors walked out, her hands clapping softly, a wide grin spreading across her face. "Damn, Carina. That was close. We almost lost that deal."I leaned back in my chair, stretching my arms out. "Nah. I had it under control."Lisa scoffed, dropping into the chair beside me. "Oh, please. You were sweating bullets. I thought for a second Benson was gonna eat you alive."I smirked. "And yet, here we are. Deal signed. Money in the bank."She laughed, shaking her head. "You and that big mouth of yours. You stress me out.""It’s part of my charm," I said, winking at her.Lisa rolled her eyes before standing up and walking over to the coffee machine in the corner of the room. She grabbed two mugs, pouring the steaming liquid into them. "Here. You need this more than me."I took the cup gratefully, inhaling the rich scent. "You’re a lifesaver."Lisa plopped back into her seat, crossing one leg over the other. "Alright, now spill. Why the

CHAPTER 120Carina’s POVGetting to the office, I barely parked the car before jumping out, my heels clicking hard against the pavement. My heart was pounding. My hands were sweaty. I was so late.Lisa was already outside, standing near the glass doors, her arms crossed tight over her chest. Her eyes locked on me the second I got out. She didn’t even wait for me to say a word."You’re late, Carina," she snapped, marching towards me.I tossed my keys to her, nearly dropping them in the process. "Help me repark. No time for that now," I rushed, already heading towards the doors.Lisa caught the keys but didn’t move. "You can’t just run in there without knowing what’s going on!" she hissed, grabbing my arm.I stopped, breathing hard. "What? What do I need to know?" I asked quickly, looking around like the investors could pop up at any second.She let out a sharp sigh, glancing towards the meeting room. "They’re pissed. Been waiting too long. Mr. Harrington already checked his watch three

CHAPTER 119Carina’s POVInstead, I just kept my eyes on the road. “I just want to keep you both safe,” I said softly.Liam had his head down. “Safe from what?”I didn’t answer. I couldn’t.More silence.Then, a small voice.“Are you mad at us?” Leo asked, his voice though was kinda shaky.My heart squeezed. “No, baby,” I said immediately. “I could never be mad at you.”“Then why do you always sound so angry?” Liam asked, his voice cracking.I let out a shaky breath. I felt somehow but I just pushed the feeling away. I couldn’t cry. Not now. Not in front of them.“I’m not angry,” I whispered. “I’m just… tired.”They didn’t say anything after that. They just sat there, the silence wrapping around us again.I sighed and focused on the road, my chest heavy.I needed to fix this. But I didn’t know how.It was a really long ride home. The roads were quiet. My hands gripped the steering wheel tightly, my mind heavy with thoughts.Thinking so deep, the conversation with my mother, the way Li
