(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
....Close to his chest, he held me as I sat beside him, my head listening to his heartbeat. It kept rising that I began to worry for him. But his eyes bear a beautiful smile.None of us said a word, I could tell he wanted to say something. But for some reason, something was restricting him. "Max," I called him with a soft voice."Mmmh," he responded as the pounding of his heart escalated. Slowly I raised my head meeting his eyes."I am hungry," I said smiling as he nodded, holding my hand as he stood up. As he led me out of the room. The memory of him holding a gun with Venom in his eyes. What did he do to Sabastine? I don't want to think about it.What was he taking care of back there? As we got to the dining room only then did I take notice that I had not noticed the presence of Caroline, and for some reason there were new faces.The food plated on the table as his eyes remained on me watching my every step. Under his gaze, my senses failed me as nothing made sense anymore. All o
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
...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
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
...."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
(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
