" 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
...Not a single sleep reached my eyes as I sat hugging myself. I already foresaw that it was going to be spooky during the night time but the coldness didn't cross my mind."Think happy thoughts," I try to remind myself of my happy moments with Max but only tears accompany me. The thought that Sabastine would return even more angrily as he had left without saying a word to me. He was obviously pissed because of my rejection.And I knew he was going to be back surely. This time I didn't lose track of time, in fact, it went as slow as possible with every sound of a jumpscare as I secretly prayed for morning not to come, a part of me knew the future was not going to be looking good so what's the need to look forward to it.What would have been of me if I had wasted just a tiny bit more time at the salon that day? What would have happened if I had read the signs and not entered inside upon seeing cars parked in front of my house that day? Maybe I wouldn't have been taken and brought to
...The large door that leads to the Dungeon burst open as I squinted my eyes trying to see who it was, the icy blonde hair gave her away. It was obviously Aurora. The smoke that followed made it almost impossible to see what was going on.But it was still obvious that she was gasping for air as she slumped to the floor. Then right there a familiar figure emerged dragging her up by the hair."Nathaniel!" I screamed upon seeing him tears immediately filled my eyes.Several emotions filled me up as I continued to call out with him with a breaking voice. He looked straight at me as he shoved Aurora by the side, approaching me with speed."What have they done to you?" he asked with anger burning in his eyes," I reached out touching his bloody hands as I cried, my fingers trembling.He looked back at Aurora who was still trying to get back at her feet. He left my side and walked straight to her as he picked her up as if she was a piece of paper pointing a gun as he commanded her."Open thi
...As I stood behind Max, watching Florence talk, my world seemed to crumble before my eyes."But I did everything because I was in love," Florence cried, her voice filled with desperation. I was dumbfounded, unable to process the torrent of emotions that washed over me. My mind was in chaos, and a throbbing headache threatened to split my head in two.My knees grew weak, and I struggled to maintain my balance. "Max," I croaked, my voice barely a whisper as I reached out towards him. It felt like the whole ordeal was finally taking its toll on me, now that I had finally confronted the truth.The room spun around me, and I longed to escape. I just wanted to get out of there, to put distance between me and this painful revelation."Luna?" I heard my name, a distant voice breaking through the chaos in my mind. It was Max, trying to reach out to me, but I was already teetering on the edge of fainting.My vision blurred, and my strength waned. As the room seemed to tilt, I stumbled forwar
(Maximilian's POV)"You lied for what?" shocked and dumbfounded I asked her as she held onto my leg, her voice louder as she cried. I have never felt more rage before.The disgust, and the self-control to keep myself from just killing. "I think he passed out," Nathaniel said, checking the pulse on Sabastine."I loved you, we were good together," she cried as moved away from her, pulling her away from getting a hold of me.The face I look at does not ring a bell, the memory I have of her was not a fond one. I was friends with Sabastine but not that close to her, she was the sister of a friend.I have always known Sabastine, we went to the same school, we were coursemates for the most part, we didn't start out as best friends, we started as random students who happened to walk into each other all the time. When Seraphina left, it was sudden. She was a good friend and I wanted to believe I was with her then suddenly she was no more. I became worse, I stayed by myself.Sandstone was quit
(Luna's Pov)The sound of rain droplets woke me up, slowly I rose from the bed as I pushed myself to leave the bed, it's been Five days on the Sea. My worries have only managed to go up but my tantrums have gone down.It wouldn't be fair for Hervey, I keep asking for Max, it's complicated."He has things to clean up," Hervey would say shouting me up that I now know not to bring it up. I can't wait to leave this ship. The constant fear that it's almost impossible to fully trust Hervey.She has been nothing but dotting towards me but so was Sabastine at first. For the first time, I pushed my fear and pulled the glass door open taking a step outside.The cold floor sent a sharp and familiar sensation to my feet. I stood by the door looking at the verse sea as it rained. If only he was here. I couldn't even take a close look at his face as I wanted before I fainted."Luna," I heard my name as I turned to see Hervey carrying with her a changing cloth."Come here," she said approaching me.
(Narration)Just by one look at Luna, one would say she has lost all spark, and it wouldn't be far from the truth.To differentiate reality from dreams seems impossible to her, struggling as hard to be happy but for some reason, it seems like the hardest thing. She sat down, sitting very close to the glass walls as she started down the street from the penthouse.Not even once did she question the location, why wasn't she taken home? It bothered her but she didn't ask a single question. The pictures of Max hanging by the walls somehow reassured her everything was fine.She heard the door open behind her, not even turning around she already knew it was Cecilia returning with food....LUNA'S POV "Just drop on the table," I said not turning around but for some reason, the footstep drew near and the more it drew near the more a peculiar scent enveloped me, before I could turn around I felt a masculine arm embrace me from behind.My breath hit as I forced myself to turn around. His face be
(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
