...(Luna's pov)"I will be at the dining area," he said walking away, I took a deep breath relaxing my nerves and trying to balance my pounding heart "This is for the best" I muttered to myself "Ma'am" I hear Cecilia's voice and I turned over to see her with Carolina "Master doesn't eat fish," Carolina said with a stern face "Shush" I hear Cecilia say to her, I really do not know anything about him but I wanted to impress him nonetheless, At the salon I have heard so many things from the women, and apparently good food helps put a man in a good mood.While I say good food puts everyone in a good mood I guess it works for men mostly."Carolina right?" I called her while she stared at me not even hiding the condescending look on her face, " Did he tell you personally he doesn't eat fish?" I asked her "I have served him long enough to know""Long enough to know better than his wife?" I asked again "Serve the food," I said again watching them carry it out, I think I might appear to
..."What do you mean?" I asked Cecilia confused "Master mentioned you being bored," she said excitedly, this was not what I had in mind when he said I should get dressed "I will show you every exciting place in the city," she said again, I didn't say I want to go out, to begin with, but I got ahead of myself "Where is he?" I asked angrily "Master is in his study," she said Angrily I walked to his study, on opening the door, he turned around with his phone in his hand close to his ears and a smile on his face."What?" he asked ending the call,"Go on," he said "I got a text from you" I began "I didn't expect to be shown around the city" "You said you were bored" he mentioned "That is not entirely a lie but we already established that it was an excuse as well," I said "What seems to be the problem now?" he asked me "I thought you asked me to dress because..." I paused too embarrassed to speak "You thought I will take you out?" he asked while I remained quiet "Why will you
...(Maximilian pov)A heavy cloud of helplessness engulfs me. Regret fills my heart, weighing it down with an unbearable burden. I can't get a single thing done, the pile of documents on my desk left untouched, what have I done,The realization of what I have done sinks in, and the pangs of guilt pierce my soul like a thousand tiny needles.I shouldn't have, I always knew when to stop.In the moment, it seemed like a harmless choice, a simple decision with no significant consequences. But now, with the clarity of hindsight, I see the error of my ways. My judgment failed me, and I succumbed to a momentary lapse of reason. and I'm left feeling utterly powerless to undo what has been done. I should have known better myself.Every thought, every image, every recollection of that regrettable act is etched deeply into my mind. I replay the scene over and over again, dissecting every detail, desperately searching for a way to turn back time. But time, merciless and unforgiving, marched for
(Luna's pov)**Earlier that day** I have eventually grown bored, nothing excites me anymore, as if I was a disease he avoided me like he hated the sight of me, he leaves as early as before but returns as late.Because I know no one I wait every night in the living room till he returns in hopes he will say something, but like always he walks straight to his room and returns to have dinner, where he rarely touches his food.What exactly happened that day, I was weak after, he looked angry that I didn't tell him it was my first, I said it didn't matter and that was it, two weeks of silence, with only me looking forward to him to say something, not even a message, not a call."Are you sure about this? Master won't like this" Cecilia said with worry all over her face "He doesn't have to know before he returns I will be back," I said getting ready, I have decided to go hunt for a job, I can't continue to be locked up in here doing nothing, I have knit up a bag from boredom and I can't con
..."Are you married or single?" The question came unexpectedly, I guess the ring on my finger gave it away. I can't even believe I have it on I rarely see him wearing his."I am single," I said forcing a laugh to hide my awkwardness, I immediately switched the ring to another finger "I was skeptical for a bit, but at the same time you are rather young," she said "For part-time assistants, I am not sure our pay will satisfy you, you look..." she said stressing her words as she looked me up and down, again it was my outfit, I will make sure to avoid wearing branded clothes from now on, although simple you can still tell it is high fashion."No, the experience is more important at the end of the day," I said watching her smile deepen "I like you already, the job is yours can you start immediately," she said, I wasn't planning on working today but why not."Of course, I can start immediately," I said, "Then begin," she said smiling, I waited in silence with a forced and awkward smile
...The more I looked at the face the more familiar it got, he continued smiling and approaching me "Hello, I couldn't introduce myself properly, Harrison Sinclair," he said, the dot immediately connected, It was Max's brother "Oh hi," I said awkwardly forcing a smile, on that day he barely looked at my side and only asked one question, I do not know how to feel about him."I didn't believe it for a while, there was no way in hell brother will let his wife roam on the streets without a guard but seeing you from a close-up confirms it really is you," He said while I nodded wondering what to reply with."Guards will only give you unwanted attention and I don't want that," I said "Exactly, you think like me," he said "Mi lady!" I turned around to see Cecilia waving as she ran to me in tiny "I am very sorry I kept you waiting" she apologized even when I should be apologising "Ho young master Harry," she said looking at him "Cecilia?" he asked pointing at her as if surprised "What
...It felt like all the air around has been knocked out, now locked in on a maze with no escape, the beautiful scent from his cologne mixed with sweat and disinfectant coming together to confuse me more.I refused to look away nor say anything, his face felt like a magnet pulling me closer, and closer, he would look more beautiful if only he smiled more, his neutral face always made it hard to know what he might be thinking.A sound interrupted the silence, his phone, I immediately sprint up from my position, "Hello," I heard his raspy voice say, slowly I turned to see his eyes still on me."Hmm" he hummed nodding his head while still on the phone "Yes do exactly like I said, no mistakes" he ordered before ending the call "What happened, was there a pin on the bed?" he asked me, his face cracking a smile, even with my pounding heart I can't deny the fact that even his half heart smile is mesmerizing "Is there something you want me to hear?" he asked getting up, I watched as he be
"Since you are okay, I better go prepare for my job," I Said getting up to leave "Prepare for what?" he asked holding my wrist "My jo..." I paused realizing he wasn't supposed to know, but those it matter? I don't think we are allowed to have a say in each other's private life."Hum..." I smiled with my full teeth awkwardly not knowing how to start "So I got a job," I said watching his reaction "You got a what?""I got a job at a salon," I said watching him, he stared at me with a confused stare "Don't worry I will keep a low profile, nobody will know about us, I can't just continue staying home" I said while he nodded "Do you need money?" he asked to my confusion."Huh?" "If you need money I can...""I don't, I haven't used or touched any money from the one you sent, I can't even look too much at it for I get dizzy so no," I said cutting him shut He got up from the bed still shirtless, I immediately averted my gaze, the boldness from last night has washed away eventually."Wi
(Luna)Just How long has it been? I have long stopped counting. Just kidding, it's been ages and I am no longer pregnant. Max and I were in for a lot of shock when the twins were born.We intentionally never went and asked for the gender but we were sure at the scanning all we saw was one baby. Even without expecting it, we were the happiest.My two beautiful angels, they still look nothing like me though, although Mother assured me they would pick up my features as they grow up. Speaking of Mother, I meant Max's mother, I am still working on the relationship with my mother. It did break me at a point, when I realized I myself was one of a twin. I couldn't remain neutral after learning that I was a twin and sadly she is no more. And both she and my father robbed me of the opportunity to bond with her. Not even once did I get to see her, neither did she know of my existence and you might have guessed who my twin was.... Yes, Lucy. The same Lucy Sabastine was in love with was my tw
(The End)"You love me?" was all I could muster as an overwhelming rush of happiness slowly seeped into my entire body. He was talking but all I could see was his mouth moving as his voice faded.It was an out-of-body experience as I tried to stand still, resisting myself from jumping up and down from joy."Say something please," I heard him say with a wild smile across my face."I don't know what to say" I answered truthfully as my cheeks continued to hit up."So does this change your answer?" he asked, attempting to hold my hands, his hands trembling as I held his sweaty hands. His gaze was mesmerizing. How come I didn't see all of this? It was all in front of me. Perhaps I hold him in such a high place that I think it's not possible for a man like him to feel something like love."You are Nervous," I said as he smiled awkwardly."Perhaps I am," he replied as I looked around again."You prepared all of this with Hervey?" I asked. All this while he went out with Hervey thi
I stood with my jaw on the floor, utterly stunned by the beautifully decorated scene before me. The backyard had been transformed into a romantic haven, with soft fairy lights hanging from the trees, flowers adorning the tables, and a cozy dining area for two set under a canopy.Slowly, my lips curled up into a smile as I took in the breathtaking sight. It was a vision of romance and thoughtfulness that took my breath away. I couldn't believe my eyes."Max?" I called him, taking a step forward looking around.As I tried to process this enchanting setup, my heart raced with anticipation. It felt like a dream, a fantasy brought to life in the most delightful way. The air was filled with a gentle breeze, and the ambiance was so perfect that it seemed almost surreal.Turning to Max, I couldn't contain my excitement. "What's happening?" I asked, my voice filled with a mixture of joy and disbelief. "Did you just set up a date for us in your own backyard?""Our backyard," he corrected, his e
...The sound of birds chirping became clearer as I slowly opened my eyes, I stretched my hand searching for a as I opened my eyes. He wasn't lying beside me.Slowly I rose from bed, scratching my eyes a bit disappointed that Mac wasn't in the room. I sat down watching the clock trying to figure out just for how long I had slept.The door swung open as I peeked forward to see Max enter with his back, a bit confused I watched waiting for him to turn around before I figured out he was carrying with him a tray of food. "Max," I called him with a smile as he approached."You are awake now?" he said, dropping the tray by the side as I looked to see what it was. Oatmeal with fresh berries and nuts."You wanted to surprise you," he said sitting by the bed with a smile on his face, I couldn't stop smiling as I looked at the food."Breakfast in bed?" I asked while he nodded proud of himself."You don't like it? " he asked, his voice carrying a hint of concern as he stared at me. "I made it wi
....I sat beneath a delicate canopy in the garden, surrounded by a riot of vibrant flowers that swayed gently in the breeze. The scent of blooms, sweet and intoxicating, enveloped me in a fragrant embrace. The dappled sunlight filtered through the leaves overhead, casting a warm and comforting glow.It was a serene haven, a sanctuary of nature's beauty. Each flower seemed to tell a story, its petals a canvas of colors that whispered tales of growth and resilience. Bees and butterflies danced from one bloom to another, their delicate movements adding to the garden's lively symphony.As I sat there, my fingers trailed along the soft petals of a nearby blossom, feeling the delicate texture beneath my touch. The world beyond this tranquil space seemed to fade away, leaving me with a profound sense of peace and contentment.The gentle rustle of leaves in the breeze, the chirping of birds in the distance, and the soft hum of nature's chorus became a soothing soundtrack to my thoughts. In t
...."We can come along," Harrison said as I stood by the door smiling as they all came outside to escort me."No, you are not coming along Harrison," Max said sharply at him while I chuckled."I hope it's a girl," Hervey commented, smiling as she stared at my tummy. Even without mentioning it to her she already knew that I was pregnant. By surprise in Harrison's eyes, it was obvious they knew nothing about it even Cecilia immediately looked at my tummy."Let's go," Max said, holding my hand as he led me to the car."I'm so sorry, I had no idea they were coming," he apologized while I shook my head."No I don't mind, I like them," I said as he frowned. Pouting his lips."They are friends and your family," I said as he nodded."They will stress you, especially Harrison," he said while I smiled."Am not stressed at all I like that they are here, your house is too big and enough to hold in more people, they would be of good company," I said "Am I not a good company?" he asked as I let o
I stood in the shower, the warm water cascading down my back like a gentle waterfall. The feeling of the water against my skin was pure bliss, and for the first time in a long while, I was in a remarkably good mood.I tilted my head back, letting the water drench my hair. As I ran my hand through the wet strands, I could feel the tension of the past days slowly melting away. The sensation of the water rushing over me was like a soothing balm, washing away the weight of the past and leaving me feeling refreshed and renewed.With each stroke of my fingers through my hair, I pushed the water backward, reveling in the simple pleasure of the shower. It was a moment of solitude and self-care, a reminder that life had its moments of serenity and tranquility.As the water continued to envelop me, I closed my eyes, savoring the warmth and the sense of well-being that it brought. The worries and uncertainties of the past were momentarily forgotten, and in that instant, all that mattered was the
...The strong hand across my chest wasn't bulging no matter how many times I stirred in my sleep probably waking him up countless times but he held me close making me use his other hand as a pillow.The sunlight has illuminated the room, it was morning already and my eyes hadn't opened to a dream or even worse a nightmare. Rather, the warm embrace and sweet smile from my man. Perhaps I am being too forward by calling him my man. But for as long as I am beside him. He is my man.My eyes couldn't leave his face as still was deep in his sleep, his eyes shut closed as I slowly raised his arm making him lay flat with his two hands spread on the bed.My eyes marveled at how tanned he had gotten with nice veins running all the way from his shoulder to his hands. I have never noticed this many details in his body. I cupped his chest sizing it to my small breast. If he continues to work out he might become my competition soon in the department of chest area.Slowly I began to notice the tiny
My breath hitched as I struggled to catch my breath. For some reason, the minty breath from him drove me insane as my hands traveled around my body roaming in the right places.Foggy, dizzy, lightheaded I couldn't stand still as my knees buckled. Finally, I ruffled his hair, and slowly his pacing began rougher and more urgent. As his tongue fluttered against mine. His hand pulled me closer and closer. No matter how much he pulled it felt like it was never going to be enough. If it were possible I wish to be inside him. Inside his skin.His cold body has turned warm in a minute, vulnerable I felt in his arms, the warmth from his body comforting like a safe coven.Pausing to catch my breath I couldn't control myself as I nibbled on his chin before I could stop myself. He nibbled on my ears, moving to my very sensitive neck. Again our faces apart as I stared at him my eyes barely opened."You feel so good," he murmured as I stared mesmerized."Just how long has it been, I have longed so
