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
SABASTINE'S POV It happened so fast before I could even realize it. She was out if it, and for a moment I stood there watching her not being able to do anything. Like a fool I was stuck watching it play out. Almost like a deju vu experience it was an identical occurrence.Slowly I became aware of what is happening as panic began to settle into my heart."Luna!" I yelled out her name as I went closer to her aid, she was sweating, her eyes slightly opened but it was very obvious she was out of it. "What is going on?" Blair asked as they both approached perhaps after hearing my voice."Can you hear me Luna?" I asked shaking her to perhaps bring her back from whatever she is drifting to, but it only seemed as if I was talking to a lifeless body who is alive but gone at the same time.Swiftly I picked into my arms as I began to head towards my room in speed. "Call the doctor!" I yelled out yet again upon getting to my room. Slowly and gently I lay her in bed.Almost like a magnetic forc
(Sabastine contd)I watched the phone ring before I got up from my seat. With the ringing phone in my hand as I began to walk away from her."Hello," the impatient voice of Macho echoed from the phone, laminating the entire study as I realized I was on speaker."What is it you want?" I asked annoyed as we agreed that I should be the only one to call him."You must really be forgetting something, my friend," he said as I scratched my head in frustration."What is it you want? Money? You should be gone by now," I said as I heard a chuckle from the end of the phone."listen mr whatever you call yourself, am not doing this on the phone with you, Meet me where we are supposed to meet," he said before ending the call."Stupid!" I retorted as I threw the phone on the sofa. This is the thing with small-minded criminals. They never keep their end of the bargain. They always find a way to remind you of how low-life and small-minded they are.The door barged open to show Aurora entering in a hur
...(Luna's pov)I woke up feeling drowsy, my head throbbing with each passing moment. The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a gentle glow on the room. With a groan, I forced my eyes to remain open and mustered the strength to sit up, the sheets slipping off my body as I did. A dull ache pulsed in my temples, a constant reminder of what made me end up in this state, what was it even exactly. My memory disheveled and all over the place as I rubbed on my forehead.As I swung my legs over the side of the bed, the familiar sensation filled my leg, the cool wooden floor beneath my feet. The sensation sent a shiver up my spine, briefly chasing away the remnants of sleep. My bare feet remained on the floor, grounding me into reality.Slowly brought my hands to my face, rubbing my temples in a futile attempt to soothe the headache. It felt like a heavy fog was lifted from my mind, but the drowsiness persisted. I took a deep breath, trying to clear the cobwebs from my w
...(Luna contd)Rigid I sat at the long sofa by the glass wall, from there I could easily look out at the green vegetation outside. I have been sitting for a little over thirty minutes waiting for them to be over talking upstairs.Slowly with my ears pinned to the ground so as not to miss anything, I sipped the tea in front of me as I watched Aurora walk around getting things done."It's nothing serious just siblings fighting," She said as I sipped the tea."I know," I said looking at her intensively. She wasn't just a robotic fellow but her creepy persona of always lurking around and everybody acts like it's supposed to be normal."Aurora is everything alright?" I hear Florance say as they finally join the living room hand in hand. I watched their dynamic, on the bare surface it looked just like two siblings who seemed to like each other and have each other's back but since I suddenly remembered that things are not always as they seem, and looking at them right now it seems off."Ho
..."There is something I want to talk about with you," Sabastine began as we both stood outside away from inside. Something in me telling me he just doesn't want his sister to find out what we are talking about."I know," I said forcing a smile as he tried to touch my hand, slowly I moved away, to say I was not afraid would be a big lie. I can't even fathom what my head is thinking. "Are you alright?" he asked as I forced a smile nodding."What is the problem? I asked changing my tone and switching on him as I began to act concerned."There is something you have to know_" he began while I just stared at him wondering and trying to come up with what he could be thinking if telling me. Perhaps another story on while this place is the best for me."Let's sit down should we?" he asked pointing at the table which was set close to where we stood. I nodded as I walked over first taking a seat as I watched him approach. His eyes were eager and mellow at the same time, they say eyes don't
" Are You asking me what I am thinking right now?" I asked dumbfounded."Yes yes exactly," he exclaimed, holding my both hands. Perhaps he misunderstood the smile on my face. It wasn't an inviting one but rather one of wonder and utter amusement at the ridiculousness of what I was just hearing."Not only will I change your name but I will also change your life, I might not be as rich as him but am up there," He said his voice eager.The chaos in my head can not even be explained or written down as my jaw dropped. What on earth is this situation?"You want me to be with you...." even my own words failed me as I felt tears drop from my cheeks. Overwhelmed and conflicted about how to react.My voice felt trapped within. I wanted to vocalize my pain but I couldn't because I am in the territory of an enemy. Have I somehow gotten Involved with an obsessed psychopath who would go as far as kidnapping a woman just because he wants her?I watched the determination in his eyes, his words fallin
...I watched as Florence's eyes darkened as her breathing rapidly increased all this evidence of her weak heart, at least the one thing they didn't lie about.It was obvious she was pushing herself and not a single sympathy from my side, I looked at Aurora who intentionally told her to rail her up as I said."She is about to pass out," I Said and just like I stated, she began to stagger, not being able to hold herself in place as Aurora rushed to her aid."You evil twat," I don't even know what that meant but I watched as she was dragged out as my hand went to my tummy.I have slowly begun to feel bloated and not even once have I had any medication for this baby, but I believe deep down she is growing strongly and healthy. Or he."Whatever you are inside of me," I muttered holding myself as I fully took in the appearance of where I have found myself.The windows were tiny and very high and not a single light bulb was in sight. Only god knows how bad it's going to be once it's dark en
(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
