Luna struggled against Joshua’s grasp, cursing and swearing at him like a crazed woman, to no avail.Her office was extremely soundproof, so none of the employees outside could hear what was going on inside, yet at the same time, she could not release herself either.Perhaps this was the feeling of helplessness. “Don’t yell,” commanded Joshua hoarsely. Then, he pressed his lips against Luna’s. Joshua’s kiss was so sudden that Luna did not even see it coming.After a moment, she resumed struggling again. Finally, she bit down on Joshua’s lip, and blood immediately filled both their mouths.Joshua immediately let go of her, but after a split second, he pressed her up against the closed door and started trailing kisses all over her, from her mouth to her jawline, to her neck, finally stopping at Luna’s collarbone. He lingered there for a long time.Luna closed her eyes in despair. She knew that the skin on her collarbone must have turned red already.This was Joshua’s favorite t
As soon as she heard Charmaine’s words, Shannon narrowed her eyes and strode toward Charmaine. Before any of them could react, she swung her arm up and slapped Charmaine across her face. A deafening slap echoed through the hallway.Shannon looked down at Charmaine and said, “Director Luna had hurt her arm, so President Lynch is sending her to the hospital. How dare you even suggest anything like that and perpetuate rumors about the two of them? Mr. Lynch has a girlfriend now, but even if he doesn’t, he won’t engage in relationships with Director Luna or any other employee. This is the respect every CEO should show to their employees!“Not only are you disrespecting Director Luna, but President Lynch as well! How dare you?”Charmaine was so stunned by this that she did not even know how to react.She felt a little confused by Shannon’s words. It seemed like Shannon was scolding her yet, at the same time…indirectly reprimanding Joshua.Joshua was standing in the elevator, still ca
“Joshua was carrying Luna simply because she got hurt, and he wanted to send her to the hospital. That’s all it is. If you got slapped, it’s on you because you jumped to conclusions and talked nonsense. If employees of the design department or the entire Lynch Group Tower find out about this and spread rumors about Luna and Joshua, you’ll feel my wrath.”With that, Fiona hung up the phone, much to Charmaine’s bewilderment. What was going on? Was Fiona going crazy?Did Fiona get so used to Joshua cheating on her with Luna that she no longer cared? Why was she on Luna and Shannon’s side?Meanwhile, Fiona hurled the phone against the wall in anger the moment she hung up.Even though she had reprimanded Charmaine about this, she knew full well what Joshua was up to.She had added libido-enhancing drugs into his drink to trick him into sleeping with her. However, not only was he perfectly calm, but he even stormed off to find Luna as soon as he found out about everything. He had le
A deafening thud echoed through the entire house.Joshua, who was pinning Luna down against the sofa, slumped limply on top of her right after.Luna could not help but furrowed her brows upon feeling his weight on top of her. However, since her hands were still tied, she had no way of releasing herself and instead looked in the direction where the noise had come from.She saw Nellie holding a metal box in her hands, panting heavily at the same time. It was evident that Nellie had struck Joshua on the back of his head with the metal box. Seeing that Luna was looking at her, Nellie’s face grew an even darker shade of red. She let out an exhale, then shouted for help at the top of her lungs.Lily immediately arrived at the scene, along with the rest of the servants. The doctor who Joshua had assigned to look after Nigel stormed downstairs as well to see what was going on.Everyone worked together to help move Joshua away from his position on top of Luna and laid him down on the c
“Does Daddy want to give me a younger brother or sister?” asked Nellie and blinked innocently at Luna. Luna did not know how to answer her daughter’s question. She bit down on her lip and remained silent for a moment before she finally responded, “Daddy wants to have another child, but not with Mommy.”Nigel let out a sigh, then gripped Luna’s finger tightly with his small hand. “Don’t be sad, Mommy, you still have us.”Nellie froze for a moment, then suddenly understood what Nigel was saying. She bit on her lip and buried her head against Luna’s chest. “Mommy, I’ll always love you.”She would no longer love her father as she did before! Not only was he aggressive and hostile toward Luna, but he even wanted children with other women apart from her mother!Luna sighed upon hearing her children’s heartwarming words, then took them back to their room and patiently tucked them in for bed.By the time Nigel and Nellie fell asleep, more than an hour had already passed. Joshua was no
Fiona immediately glanced at Luna.Luna’s left arm was wrapped in a sling, and there was even a trace of blood staining her bandages. Her face was also paler than usual.Fiona narrowed her eyes and felt a flicker of malice surge through her.Even if Charmaine had not called her about this earlier, she, too, knew what would happen between Joshua and Luna. The reason she forbade Charmaine to talk about this any further was so that no one else would find out about Joshua and Luna.Since everyone thought that Joshua and Fiona were very happy together, she did not want anyone else to find out about Joshua’s affair with Luna. If everyone found out that she and Joshua were not as happy a couple as they appeared to be, no one would respect or fear her anymore.This was the last thing that Fiona wanted, but at that moment…Since Charmaine had already brought up Luna’s possible fake injury, Fiona decided that this was something she could use to her advantage.If Joshua truly had taken Lun
Arianna furrowed her brows and shot Luna a nervous glance. Then, she asked in a low voice, “Director Luna, do you really…want to remove the bandage?”Since she could still smell the stench of blood despite the many layers of bandage, Arianna guessed that Luna’s wound must be very deep.Luna sneered, then glanced at Fiona and Charmaine. “If I don’t remove my bandage, how can I show them that I’m really hurt and not faking my injury?”Arianna pursed her lips in disapproval. She had no choice but to follow Luna’s request and remove the bandage from her arm.The scent of blood wafted through the entire office almost immediately.Charmaine froze momentarily, then turned to look at Fiona, her face etched with alarm.A hint of surprise flashed through Fiona’s eyes. How… How was this possible?The reason Joshua had carried Luna out of the office was that the libido-enhancing drugs had taken effect, and he wanted to use Luna as a means of releasing his sexual desire! How could there po
Luna pursed her lips upon hearing Charmaine’s question but did not know what to say in response. She could not tell them that Joshua gave her the hickey, yet at the same time, she could not think of any other excuse.Luna was afraid that if she told everyone that it was Joshua, Fiona would fake her illness and pretend to faint.If that happened and Joshua rushed over, Luna was worried that Joshua would deny everything, causing her to become the offender once more.However, if she did not come clean with the truth… How else could she explain the hickey? She could not say that she did it herself, could she?“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue?” Charmaine could tell Luna was hesitant to tell the truth because of Fiona and felt even more confident in her guesses. “Didn’t you go to the hospital? Did the doctor give you a kiss for your boo-boo?”Luna narrowed her eyes and swept her cold glance across Charmaine’s face. “Why do you care so much about something on my neck?”“That’s right
