THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 49
Despite how many times I already told Dmitri that I didn’t want to come with him. He still insisted that I go with him. His persistence over the matter is so dominating that I can’t even make any attempt to insist on what I truly want. In the end, I just settled in letting him drag me along with him. I even remember from earlier that he immediately pulled me off the bed just to push me inside the bathroom to change. Although I knew that he only did that to make sure that I can finally get on the clothes he provided, I still find it rude of him to actually force me. Can he at least wait for me to adjust to the fact that I am actually wearing his clothes. I am not that much of a picky person, however, wearing his clothes would only confirm that I have become his woman. We make our way out of the manor in a very nonchalant manner; however, despite the fact that it appears to be quite simple for Dmitri, it is actually quite difficult for me. There is a small part of me that worries tha

The long drive didn’t last that much compared to what I had thought. Perhaps it is just me, but I’d like to believe that Dmitri intentionally asked the driver to make a stop here knowing that I have been acting distant from him despite how many times he made an attempt to interact with me. It’s not like I don’t even notice it, however, I am just afraid that if I even made another push to divert my focus into him again that I might not actually be able to get away from it again. Dmitri had this very strong skill for dominating me. It always makes me wonder why I can’t seem to get away from his dominating presence. It’s like I've always been bound to submit myself to him. What makes things more odd is the fact that when he is in complete control of me, I still find myself somehow getting more—if only I could deny it—satisfied. Dmitri quickly went out the moment the car stopped at the parking place. I had to immediately follow behind before his temper burst once more because he was wa

I just feel like I want to completely disappear right now. It took me a little while to realize that Dmitri was the sole owner of the yacht before the thought occurred to me. What I'm experiencing right now is remarkably close to the sensation of contracting from my current position. Because of how embarrassed I am right now, I don't even have the courage to become irritated with him. I just can't bring myself to do it. Before turning his attention back to me, Dmitri had been looking at something on his phone. Suddenly, however, he stopped doing that and looked at me. When he looked at me again, I had the sudden sensation that a hot rush of blood was rapidly splashing within the cheeks of my face. It happened as soon as he laid his eyes on me again. Maybe it's because I've been completely embarrassed that I'm experiencing all of these feelings all of a sudden. Who wouldn’t even be embarrassed after trying to lecture him about being too lavish when he didn’t even have to bother ab

I had to put on an act of laughing right in front of the saleswoman so that she would not believe what Dmitri had just said. I was hoping that she would not believe him. As soon as I realized that the saleswoman seemed to be believing what I said, given the way that she returned what I said with a shy smile, I quickly prodded Dmitri at the side for making such a comment.His subsequent actions, however, only made matters worse. Dmitri grabbed my arm and yanked me to his side as he put his arm around my shoulders. He then added, "Make sure that my fiance over here will find comfort in the clothes you'll offer," as if to emphasize the absurdity of the situation.” Almost immediately, Dmitri made it sound as though I was denying him as my partner to the saleswoman, as he emphasized that I am already his fiancée two separate times. This gave off the impression that I was the one lying. Now that he brings it up, I suddenly have no idea how I can even prove to her that it was I who was tel

Usually, I would shrug off these kinds of occurrences as though they were completely nothing. However, looking at them right at this moment made me all of a sudden feel as though something hidden deep within me is about to blow up any second now.When I opened the door to the other dressing room, which was right next to the one where I tried on my dress, my eyes widened in shock as I saw that it was actually Dmitri and the saleswoman making out inside. I couldn't believe what I was seeing.I usually only see this in movies, and I can honestly say that not once in my entire life have I ever entertained the thought of actually being able to witness it happening in real life. At this point, the only sensation that I could detect within me was one of complete numbness.At the same time, it feels like a bomb is ticking inside of me, and I'm just waiting for the right moment to pull the trigger so that it can finally go off. And it seems as though that trigger has been pulled apparently by
THE LUNA BRIDE FROM TOMORROW CHAPTER 54
It took quite some time for what Dmitri had said to fully sink in to my consciousness after I first heard it. And at this point, it made me immediately struggle to get him off of me, which was a problem because he was on top of me. “Jealous? Me? Why on earth would I be?” I protested. How dare he even suggest that I am envious in the first place! He is free to sleep with any of the women in the room if he so chooses; the thing that has me so irritated is the fact that he had the audacity to do it while I was there. It is almost as if he is taking me in as one of them, someone that he could simply switch into whenever he wants.I don’t wish to become one of those women he often includes in his list, if there are even any. Because Dmitri is surrounding me once again at the moment, I felt it was important to make this fact perfectly clear to him. However, despite my best efforts to dislodge him from my body, Dmitri continued to press against me in an effort to stop me from moving. Then

If I’d be honest, this has been quite the most peaceful time I had in Anacortes as Claudette ever since I woke up and found out that I had transmigrated into the body of Claudette Silverstone.A lot of things already happened to me in the past and there is no way that I could even change them anymore. Among those things were mostly being around Dmitri Alforque. If I am not mistaken, it’s almost over a week now ever since I last saw him. After crying while inside his vehicle and even insisting that I wanted to go home alone. Dmitri still didn’t allow me to go. However, he instantly told his driver to drive us to my house.I could still remember how Taylor and the rest of the household personnel were so worried to see me arriving home and with Dmitri. There even came a little chaos and suspicion over Dmitri, but since he very skill when it comes to hallucinating people, it isn’t even a wonder how he manage to instantly convince the rest of my people that I didn’t go missing from the pa

The moment that Taylor told me about Reagan’s purpose of seeing me, I immediately went downstairs to finally meet with him.I was thinking that Reagan would be furious about my behavior from the other night when I left him for no apparent reason at the Alforque’s party. However, I felt totally surprised to see that Reagan actually hugged me the moment that he saw me coming down the stairs.He wrapped his arms around me, and it instantly caught me by surprise. I suppose that I indeed made Reagan worried about me for him to actually feel this way. I can feel the sincerity of his concern over the warmth of his body around me. At the same time, it makes me feel guilty as well. I feel bad that I had deceived a good person like him for a short moment of pleasure with that devious Dmitri. Had I known he’s a dumbass flirt, I wouldn’t even have made intimate contact with him at all.The mere thought of me coming back inside my head is making me feel annoyed already. I had to shake the memory

Now that sounds really suspicious. But I know I can’t just argue with her about it. Taking that step might just make her harm me or take back the antidote from me. I have to pretend like everything is okay from my end.In this situation I am in, I have to make it appear before Magindara’s eyes that I totally agree with her suggestion. Somehow, there are points from her statement that really do convince me but a greater picture doesn’t deny me the intuition that she might be trying to take me in as tool for her ulterior motive.I don’t know what it really is but I have to be vigilant and ready about it. Ready in a sense that I at least could handle the situation even if I am not aware what kind of battle that I am about to face here.“I’ll see what I can do.” I just replied.I believe that would be the safest thing to say for now.“Do you have any other question so far?” Magindara asked me. I wonder why she suddenly came up with that question.Did she find or somewhat noticed it from m

“Nothing that involves you or Florante.” I told him that shut him up quickly.This time, I didn’t wait for Leandro to act on my request to withdraw the troops away from Magindara. And so, I yanked my head to their direction and yelled, “All of you! Lower your weapons and withdraw from her at once!”“You can’t do that, Miss Emalia.” Leandro tried to protest.“And why can’t I?” I retort back.“Because I am the one leading them, Miss Emalia.”“Very well.” I said with full pride facing the troops, I then added, “As your master’s bride, I also hold the highest command alongside your master. Deny me of this and you shall be severely punished by your master.”And it was like a fearing statement, all the troops begin to withdraw from Magindara and not even Leandro was able to stop that.Magindara still hasn’t remove her barrier but I saw on her face that she is convinced that I did this so that we’re somewhat even for keeping me alive. I nod at her as I make my exit from the cave.As the gua

It makes me feel regretful though but a tinge part of me has become quite the curious as to how the image from the translucent pearl just keep on showing Florante when I am so focused to see my mother?My inquisitive thoughts have been rattling me once again and this just makes me frustrated as I know I won’t set myself aside without trying to know the reason why. But apparently, it seems that Magindara doesn’t have the answers for me as well and this bugs me.“I feel bad for this but do you still wish to try it again?”Though deep down within me says I would prefer to, I think it would be better off if I won’t pursue trying again. It’s kind of scary trying again and then Florante will just be the end result of it.And so I told her, “No. We’ve done it twice already. If it’s not meant for me then it’s okay, but what I just don’t understand it that, why does it keep on showing Florante no matter how I try to concentrate to see my mother? Do you perhaps know a deeper thought about it?”

After handing over the small flask of my tears to her, Magindara went to her drawers and drop in some kind of a blue liquid into before she heads back in front of the translucent pearl once more.“Come closer. Now, as I drop your tears into the pearl, I want you to envisage the moment you wish to see.” She told me.It will be quite difficult for me to try and picture it out since it was the day I was born. I have zero recollection about it except for the stories that my dad often tells me.I wonder how on earth will I start creating such image in my head. But as Magindara head on to drop the liquid on the pearl, I quickly had to concentrate and think deeply about that moment when I was born. I could use my baby images to help me concentrate and it appears that it is working.The translucent pearl is beginning to glow and I couldn’t hide my excitement that I’ll finally get to see the image of my biological mother after twenty-seven long years.Even though Magindara has stop from singi

The beauty of the silver clam boasted as it spread itself open before us. It revealed a shiny pearl inside.“This is a translucent pearl. It can give you a mirror to reflect anything you wish to see from the present and past.”Could that pearl really be that powerful enough to see anything from the past?“Will I be able to see someone from the past even if I hadn’t got the chance to know them?”“Well, the pearl never misses anything the water could see.”“There is someone I’d like to see. Could it be possible thought…I wonder.”“Do you have anyone in mind you met while you are anywhere near bodies of water?” Magindara asked.I’m not sure if it’s okay to tell her a weak side of me. But I’ve been yearning to see an image of my mother. I wonder for real, if doing this will give me the chance to see her even for a short while.“I’m not sure. The last time I was with her was when I was born. My father says she died giving birth to me.”“I’m sorry about that but it seems like we have no oth

“You came back here for the purpose of knowing the truth. But your appearance in this era has made quite some changes in the present time without your knowing.” Magindara stated. She glides her way towards rock formation that resembles a cellar.Magindara gestured me to follow her and I followed. It’s such a surprise that I actually don’t find it scary following her. For some reason, I am just too confident or was it more like I find it normal.It never came into my mind that I am inside an enemy’s lair and a mythical creature that could easily harm me. was this boost of confidence because of the other half of the orient pearl residing inside of my chest?I held into my chest and tried to scrub it gently, I wanted to feel the pearl inside of me but when I find myself looking weird, I immediately stop.Magindara and I stop when we reach the ground where a lot of jars are kept. From different sizes and colors. The whole place appears like Magindara’s secret laboratory for me. I didn’t k

“Did you even try to talk to him again?” I asked. For some unexplainable reason, I really didn’t understand why on earth did I asked that. Was I really trying to torment myself further? I guess so.Magindara just looks at me with a serene face and answered, “A lot of chances came to me but I never push through.”My brow wasn’t able to control itself from rising up as I followed up to ask, “But why didn’t you?”There, Magindara just smiled shyly, “I came to the point of asking myself, if I ever ask for forgiveness and he forgive me. Then the two of reconcile, what would happen if Aman Sinaya will return and ask for the same question again. I’m scared that my loyalty for Aman Sinaya will only make Florante hate me too much that he would rather kill me to death than see me alive.” She said back.I wanted to strangle her. Deep in my thoughts I wish I could just slap her for once but who am I to do that even if I am Florante’s fiancé.Magindara is bound in her faithfulness towards Aman Sin

“Florante saved me once. When some fisherfolks tried to hunt me down, Florante came to my aid and wash them out using the tidal waves. I owe him my life, so I told myself that I would love him and care for him…”Hearing those lines from Magindara stiffen my nerves. This impulse is making me crazy. I am now being consumed by the jealous frenzy. And the feeling just got more intensified when Magindara added saying, “…and I was happy that Florante noticed me and my affection for him. Perhaps it was because he was longing for someone to value and take care of him that’s why he finally noticed me. For quite some time, I stayed in his dome and had the vision of being wed to him. I know it came to his mind that he would ask me to be his wife but something came up.”The sudden turn of events from statement made me more curious. I just have to find the right words to make it sound from my end as if I was just less interested yet at the back of my head, I am so eager to know.And so, I asked, “

There I realize that maybe that was the bargain they made for their only child. That in exchange for their child to live, they have to offer even their own lives. It’s a very noblest thing for his parents to sacrifice at such extent.I feel all the pain that the young Florante is currently experiencing right now as I see him nestled himself on the ground wailing in tears. I can read through the movement of his mouth how he tries to call for his parents but since they were stoned, apparently the poor boy won’t be able to receive the response he was yearning to hear from them.“In exchange for the boy to live longer, his parents made a deal with the sea God. They will offer their lives to be used as auxiliary life source so that Amanikable could transfer his mentala to the young boy. Florante’s state was so fragile that if it’s not done that way, Florante might not be able to handle to amount of mentala inside his body that he will soon perish to death quicker than they could even imagi
