...Huh? But she did consider his feelings… Why else would she have deleted her text? That aside, this serious nature… It didn’t feel like the Luna she knew at all. Unsure how to even respond, Fabiola took a long while before finally replying, “…I… I just assumed that Neal could take it… We’re all adults, after all-” “Oh yeah? Then why did you do all those things when Hanley was upset? Fabiola, you only think it’s manageable for Neal because you no longer care! I don’t care if you’re in love with Hanley! But you can’t just dump Neal aside and treat him like a complete stranger once you’re done with him! If I knew this would happen, then I would’ve…!” “…Would’ve…?” “…Just… Forget what I said… Here, have this… I bought this nightgown recently and I haven’t had a chance to wear it yet… I think it’d look great on you, so… Just take it and enjoy yourself…” Following that, Luna left without another word, leaving Fabiola momentarily too shocked to even respond… What was all that about?
“Nothing, of course! I no longer feel anything romantically for him, and I refuse to mock him by being by his side simply out of pity… He would probably think the same,” replied Fabiola. Nodding in response, Hanley then said, “Exactly, and as you said, we’re all adults here. If he can’t recover from this loss, then maybe he needs to grow up a little. Don’t worry, I’m sure he’ll eventually come through… With that said, stop putting so much pressure on yourself, alright…? At the end of the day, love simply can’t be forced…” …Hanley certainly had a point… It took her a while, but she eventually revealed a subtle smile before saying, “…I suppose… Anyway, I told you what was on my mind, so start singing, alright…?” “…You still need me to coax you now that your worries are gone?” “Why not? Listening to your singing will still make me feel even better anyway…” replied Fabiola as she hugged his waist, prompting the helpless man to sigh before starting to sing… Though he had a bass vo
Shortly after, she was greeted by the sight of a long, red carpet leading out of the villa. The sides were filled with blooming bright flowers and colorful balloons, and as the sea breeze blew, countless petals began flying around, making the view even more amazing than it already was! But that wasn’t all. Standing at the end of the carpeted path, was a group of familiar faces, all smiling at her from beneath a flowery arch… They included her parents, siblings, and even close friends…! Literally everyone was here! Now starting to wonder whether she was dreaming again, she turned to look at Hanley before asking, “…What-” “I told you that I’d host a wedding for you, didn’t I…? Remember, we never really hosted a proper wedding after we got married, so… I figured that it was high time I gave you one. At the end of the day, it’s always better to get the blessings from your partner’s family members. Oh, and if you’re wondering how I planned all this without you knowing… Well, just reme
...Was there even a point in doing that anymore? Not only had he rejected her love for years, but she had also moved past him, so… “…There’s plenty more fish in the sea, so why not find someone else? I’m sure you’ll eventually find a woman who will love you just as much… And following that, you’ll be even happier than I am now.” …So that was how she truly felt, huh? To think that this was the same woman who vowed to one day marry him… Though his heart was crushed, Neal eventually forced a smile before saying, “…I see. Well… I hope you’ll forevermore be happy, then… Here…” Watching as Neal extended his hand, Fabiola was startled to see a jade emblem… The same one that she kept promising to buy for him when they got married back when they were still kids… She still remembered how he’d keep saying that he’d never marry her, and that she was too old-fashioned, yet… Oh, how things had changed… It took her a while, but she eventually managed to force herself to say, “…Thank you,
As Maison and Frank walked up to her side, Hanley himself could already be seen waiting for her at the pedestal. With his custom tuxedo on and his hair combed backward, he looked even more stunning than usual… And after taking a deep breath, she began walking toward him. Though Frank really didn’t want to see her go, he knew that he shouldn’t stop her. With that, he simply glared at Hanley before growling, “…Be good to her unless you want a thorough beating.” “Rest assured, I will be… That aside… You look absolutely stunning, Princess…” replied Hanley with a chuckle as he gently held Fabiola’s hand. Beaming in response, Fabiola then said, “Likewise, Prince Charming…” With how affectionately the two were staring at each other, Zivon couldn’t help but nod to himself. Now that was what true love looked like… Shaking his head, he then turned to look at his wife who had a purple dress on… And honestly, it made sense why so many people thought she was Fabiola’s sister. After all,
Now that the main event was over and he had seen how happy she was, there really was no reason for him to continue staying there… Unbeknownst to him, however, there was actually someone who noticed him leaving… And that someone was Luna. However, rather than feeling sorry for him, she had a subtle smile on her face. After all, she had been waiting for such a chance for ages now… Alas, before she could even start walking toward him, she felt someone holding her wrist… It was Tiffany. “Now isn’t the time for you to make a move, dear…” Frowning slightly, Luna replied, “…Why not? We’re both single, and Fabiola’s married too. When else is the proper time to strike?” “Any time but now… He definitely needs some alone time, and… Let’s face it, he won’t be able to forget about her anytime soon-” “That’s a minor challenge, and as you already know, I’m all for challenges. Just you wait and see, Mom! I’ll definitely make him mine in no time!” Upon hearing that, Ian couldn’t help but
Hanley had been looking forward to that too, but… “…Call me Honey again…” …Wasn’t it embarrassing to request such a thing? Then again, she liked calling him that anyway, so she simply did as she was told… and after a while, she even gave him a gentle kiss on the lips. The kiss was brimming with love, and in the end, Hanley couldn’t stop himself from guiding her even closer and deeper into his mouth… but though the kiss was passionate, Hanley soon felt like something was… Off. Had she stopped moving her tongue…? But she wasn’t writhing in pleasure either… What gave? Finally opening his eyes, he was surprised to find out that she had dozed off! How was he even supposed to respond to this…?! Though helpless, he had to admit that today was rather tiring… and following a sigh, he lifted Fabiola in his arms before carrying her to their bed… As he hugged her throughout the night, he couldn’t help but find solace in the thought that he no longer had to hold back from loving her to
As the lapping waves gently drowned the passionate sounds coming from the two, Luna herself had just managed to enter Neal’s villa after entering the password. It was shortly after when she saw him sitting by the kitchen counter, a glass of alcohol in hand… and after clenching her fists, she reminded herself that it was now or never! Walking up to him in her red, sensual dress, she sat right next to Neal and took his glass before saying, “Care if I join you?” Raising a slight brow, Neal was about to reply when he watched Luna crack open a new bottle of wine before pouring a glass for each of them. Fuck it, he was too burned out to argue right now… After watching him gulp his new glass of wine without a word, Luna couldn’t help but frown as she muttered, “…Hey, I took the time to cheer you up, so… At least show a bit of appreciation…” “…I’m not in the mood. Go get yourself supper if you want…” “Oh, I’m not interested in food, though… I wouldn’t mind getting eaten out-” “Don’
