...

As I sat across from him, my gaze fixed on his face, my emotions felt like a blank canvas. My hands were folded on the table, a sign of both restraint and readiness, waiting for him to speak. Part of me wanted confirmation that I was truly sitting across from my father, flesh and blood, and not falling into some elaborate scam.

"Luna, my daughter," he began, and despite myself, I couldn't help but scoff inwardly. My daughter? When had he ever acted like a father?

"Good to see you alive," I responded, my tone neutral, my hands still clasped together. My patience was already waning. I had taken a risk sneaking out, and the clock was ticking until I needed to sneak back in. Time was not on my side.

"So, what do you want from me? I'm here now," I said, my words tinged with impatience. My eyes were steady on him, waiting for his response.

"I do not want anything from you, my child. All I want is to ask for your forgiveness," he said, his voice holding a tinge of remorse. I nodded, as i

    ....(Narration)Cecilia perched on the plush cushion just inches away from Luna, her boss's wife, who was engrossed in a seemingly weighty conversation with her father. The minutes ticked by, each second punctuated by Cecilia's anxious glances at her wristwatch. Her delicate fingers traced the rim of her coffee cup, the warmth seeping into her skin as she tried to divert her attention from the task at hand. Time was of the essence, for their covert escape would need to be executed with precision.Her employer's lady exuded an aura of intensity, her features etched with concern as she spoke in hushed tones. Cecilia's watchful eyes analyzed the scene before her – the way Luna's fingers curled around her cell phone, her brow furrowing in concentration. It was clear this conversation held immense importance.Cecilia fiddled with a sugar packet, tearing it open and pouring its contents into her coffee as if it were an antidote to her building apprehension. The clink of the ceramic spoon ag

    (Luna's pov)"Oh, you are a sneaky one, aren't you?" The man's voice dripped with malice as he delivered a harsh slap across my face, his fingers digging into my hair as he dragged me forward."To think I thought you were pretty," he sneered, his eyes burning with a twisted mix of anger and contempt. "What makes you think you can escape?" He grabbed my chin with bruising force, his grip a painful reminder of my vulnerability."You better behave, or else," he threatened, his words a sinister promise of what lay ahead. But I couldn't back down; I couldn't let fear paralyze me.With all the courage I could muster, I shoved his hand away from my face, my voice trembling but defiant. "Get your filthy hands off my face!"My outburst was met with laughter, a cruel sound that only fueled my determination. The door swung open with an abrupt force, and there he stood, Macho in the flesh, a force of nature that seemed to grow larger and more imposing with each encounter."What are you doing to h

    ...Not even the Heavens were on my side once again. For the past five months, I lived a totally different life. I was a wife to a Man I barely know but everything felt right and wrong as well.I fell in love too early, the cards were placed on my face, The Rules spelled out to me but sheepishly I fell in love with him. Falling in love made things complicated, rather than being happy I was mostly sad. It made me forget that I had other cards in front of me. I chose the forbidden one.Now I am on the journey to what I presume is a totally different continent. For days we have been on this journey, I have slept and woke up and fed cold potatoes and on lucky days I get fed fish from the large sea. Yes, large sea, even with my eyes tired I now know that this is a very large boat, and we this is not some small river but the big sea which I am terribly afraid of.But my eyes are closed, my tears surprisingly, haven't run out yet. I can not differentiate night from the morning but I certainl

    ...Finally, I was left alone but I knew that right outside that door guards were waiting for me to make a move. Not that I was planning on running yet, it's stupid, I don't know where I am, what day it is, and what my fate is.Maybe... just maybe I have been sold.The door opened forcefully as the two maids entered once again, their hands heavy with different things at the same time."What is this?" I asked them, I knew they would be back but I expected them to return with food, not some fabric."Tonight Master is hosting a ball," they said in unison while I just stared in confusion. What on earth is going on?"This is your dress," one said placing the dress on the bed while I watched in confusion."What is this ball about?" I asked forcing a smile as they both looked at each other. I have to act smartly at least. Getting a dress means am leaving this room. Didn't expect it to be this fast."Oh, it's a mask party, what kind of people will be in attendance?" I asked still with a smil

    ...I remained quiet as he seemed to immediately understand I was in trouble, he stood up and stretched out his hand for me to take."What are you doing?" I said panicking that somebody might understand what was going on. But he seems confident without fear. Reluctantly I lend him my hand standing up to meet his gaze."I will take you out of here," he said, his voice firm."Trust me will you?" he asked while I nodded, I still haven't told him who I was but he acted like he knew me already.He held my hand firmly as he began to walk away navigating the very large hall full of people in masks. My heart couldn't hold itself as I followed him keeping my head lowered.As soon as we reached the door I heard a very loud."Stop right there," the music paused "Do not turn and immediately I count to Three, run," he said as I nodded frantically already made up my mind. I would rather run away from here tonight or die trying."Who leaves a party when it just began," I hear the voice say."Now on

    ...The question I asked was unanswered, he drew away from me as if giving me space, space is not what I want, all I want is answers. No matter how shameless it might seem all I want now is help. As much as I can get I need all of it.I suddenly felt the need to speak to him. He had gone quiet, leaving me alone on the sofa, and my paranoia about being on such a large ship was getting to me. With hesitant steps, I got up and followed the soft glow of the light that led me to the front of the ship.There he stood, gazing intently toward the distant shore. My eyes widened as I caught sight of what appeared to be an island."Is that where we're heading?" I asked, my voice quivering with a mixture of excitement and anxiety.He turned to me with a smile and nodded. "No one can ever find you in there," he said cryptically, leaving me unsure of how to respond to his enigmatic words.As the ship approached the mysterious island, I could feel it slowing down, the engines humming quieter.

    ...Sleep was far from finding me, resting the least of my worries, all I thought about was Max, and what could be going through his mind right now. I still refuse to believe he has anything to do with my predicament.Slowly I dragged myself off the bed and went straight to the mirror, it was morning already. My eyes focused on my stomach as I rubbed on it. "My child," I muttered under my breath. I can't believe a child is growing within me, I feel nothing at all. I feel normal and nothing is kicking perhaps it's still early.The door burst open scaring me. "Aurora?" I said surprised at her sudden presence."You are up," she said as if surprised as well."I am," I nodded as she smiled approaching me. Her eyes traveled down to my belly where I was rubbing it, I slowly dropped it as she stared at me suspiciously."I will draw your bath""No," I stopped her "It's okay not yet," I said stopping her as I forced a smile."Uhm what about breakfast?" I asked very hungry She immediately be

    I sat down, with tears of frustration in my eyes and he continued to speak, by his definition Max is a terrible human. Max told me Seraphina was the only woman he dated but the pictures in front of me speaks otherwise.The tension between him and Max suddenly began to make sense. A part of me refuses to believe anything still but the evidence is right in my face and why would anyone just lie like that what is there for him to gain by making such accusations?He seems shattered, and he sheds a few tears. He hates Max with everything in him."You told me you guys were friends," I said not really anything he was saying again. My thoughts have been consumed."We were," He said "Listen Luna," he said shifting closer to me as he held my hand in his. "I know you might be confused, because what have you done to him to deserve this? It doesn't make sense to you that he would treat you like this," Sebastian said as I stared at him."But terrible people don't need reasons, my sister did nothin

    (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

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.

    ...."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
