My Dethroned Luna Chapter 75
Anna's povI was stiff and sore from having my hands tied for most of the day; the skin on my wrists was rubbed sore from the ropes. Owen rolled across my lap, curled up and asleep; his body twitched in the darkness.He had stopped crying hours ago—maybe days ago, I wasn’t sure anymore. The clocks ceased to exist and all that separated them from one another was the dim light that came in through the little crack in the door separating night from day.My eyes opened, they were sticky and droopy, they had not been shut for long, given the terror that I was going through. My body started getting dizzy and I couldn’t understand where I was, my tongue felt fleshy and swollen. And how long had we had been in here? Weeks? I was worried when Owen became silent, but his whimpering was unbearably pitiful and pained. I pulled with all my strength on the ropes in an attempt to loosen them but my arms felt so weak and with each movement, I felt the bolts of pain in my aching muscles. It was no u

Anna’s POVSuddenly, as the door shut behind them, I got a sickening recollection of the next few minutes that was almost physically hard to bear.My hands were tied firmly behind my back, my hands and arms began to feel a pins-and-needles sensation, and the rope left red marks on the surface of my skin as I tried to move.Except for a small lamp that was shedding its pallid light on the room, the rest of the world was dark and even the shadow of a doubt was suffocating in my heart. Owen’s small body lay limp on my lap, his breaths shallow but steady. That was my only comfort now—he was still alive.But for how long?Hannah had left with that vile smirk on her face, and Gerald... Gerald had been the final blow. It wasn’t just the betrayal of Landen, the man I had once trusted with my life, but the way they both took pleasure in revealing the truth to me, piece by piece as if they were savoring my anguish.I rested my forehead against the cold stone wall, trying to hold on to any rema

The moment he stepped through the door, there seemed to be a tension charge in the air. He appeared to have all the time in the world as he walked slowly and diligently. I pressed my lips tightly and turned away not to yield to agony which I knew he was enjoying watching. “Still holding up, are we?” He said it more like a statement and to me there was something sinister in his jovial tone that made the bristles of my hair stand on end at the back of my neck. I didn’t respond. I couldn’t. I wouldn’t let him have the pleasure of seeing my voice shaking. Frowning, Gerald huffed and pretended as if I had let him down by not responding to his joke. “I suppose you are angry with me now,” he said in a sarcastic and harsh manner.“But you shouldn’t be. After all, everything I have done has been for the greater good. ” My brows drew together, and at long last I opened my mouth to speak, my voice hoarse and ragged. “Greater good?” I spat. “You are being very selfish, Gerald. Very selfish.

ANNA’S POVIf it were 12 months ago, before my son was even conceived, I would have let this darkness swallow me. But now that I have found a reason to live, a reason to walk the earth without shame, I want to fight the things that pull me into the embrace of death.The faint sound of the medical equipment came in gaps. I would have succumbed to the darkness that enveloped me but right now, I want to live for my pup. He should not live a life without his mother and his father beside him.Memories came rushing through my mind, was this what they meant when they said ‘Your life flashes before your eyes?’“You are pregnant, Mrs. Luther. You’re three months along,” the doctor’s voice echoed in my memory.“That is impossible, Doctor Sara. You are aware of my infertility. So how could it have happened?” I jolted up from my seat, bending across to her, my whole body trembling.“I should say miracles happen, Mrs. Luther,” she responded with a shrug.I should be happy. After three years of mar

The news Doctor Sara gave me wasn’t very good, but I will take the good part and forget the bad one. I was going to have this child by all means."I will fight for you," I promised, my voice trembling with a mixture of hope and fear. "You are my miracle, and I will do everything in my power to bring you into this world."I found strength in my unborn child. The thought of holding him in my arms gave me the courage to face my reality.It was time to bring him into this world after nine months, but my life was hanging in the balance. I had told Doctor Sara that if there were any complications, she should by all means save my child.The pain was undeniably unbearable. I was so determined to give birth to my baby, but I had absolutely no strength at all. The strength of each contraction seemed like a wave coming over me and almost drowning me. The intense desire to bring my pup into the world and the agony of labor caused my body to become a battlefield."You have to give your all, Mrs. L

ANNA’S POVWith the last strength in me, I carried my child. Was it a mother’s instinct? Whatever it was I was feeling, I needed to heed it. The hospital room was so dark all of a sudden. The lights had gone out, but of course, because of our keen senses, I could still see through the fog of darkness.I knew immediately I needed to take my son away from there. Doctor Sara must have gone home; she was with me all day, and the nurses were working nonstop. The noise in other wards and the hallway showed everyone was as surprised as I was. What could have happened to such a luxurious hospital's electricity all of a sudden?I heard footsteps advancing through my room door. I could feel murderous intent from them. Who was it? I sent a letter and picture of our son to Landen yesterday, but he didn’t respond or even visit. Did it perhaps fall into the wrong hands? I wrapped my child in the baby cloth he was lying on. Despite the pain in my head and body—though it had been three months since I

"Ah! My child, somebody please, help me," I wailed, turning toward the car that just hit me. The headlights still pointed directly at me, their brightness harsh and unforgiving. I could feel blood running down my head, the bandage wrapped around it barely holding. My head was yet to heal from the surgery."My goodness, oh my God, we have to get you to the hospital," the man who stepped out from the driver’s seat said, his voice urgent and tinged with panic."No, I’m fine. My baby, just make sure my baby is fine, please," I cried, my lips trembling uncontrollably.The second man, dressed in a well-tailored suit, came down from the car’s back seat. He bent down and gently lifted my child, carrying him back to the car he had come from. The driver helped me up, and I stumbled into the back seat, my wet dress clinging to me uncomfortably.I had no control over my sobs and tears at this point. I peeped at my son in the man's arms as he checked him, my heart aching with worry."Liam, drive b

Anna's Pov "Anna, you need to see this." My secretary, Emily, called my attention to something on her tablet. Emily, now more than just a secretary, had become my right hand, managing day-to-day operations. She handed me a glossy brochure from a rival fashion house in town. "The designs look eerily similar to my blueprint, Emily. This cannot be a mere coincidence," I exclaimed, my thoughts rapidly going in circles. Anxiety began to eat me up, and a cold sweat started to form on my brow. "That's what I thought. Are you going to sue them?" she asked with concern, her eyes mirroring the worry I felt. "We can't just sue them; we need proof. Someone from the design department might have leaked it," I responded, frustration creeping into my voice as I got up from my chair. I glanced at the time. It was a few minutes before I needed to pick up Owen from school. Before I could finish thinking about it, two tiny legs jumped through the door with a wonderful smile on his face. "Mum
