His gripped my shoulder tight, almost painful, and he shook me vigorously as if that was going to make me change my mind.“Would you please fucking listen to me?” He spat, his voice filled with frustration. “I'm fucking trying to understand you here.”I couldn't help but snap back, the words tumbling out before I could stop them. “What, are you going to beat me too if I don't reply?” My own words surprised me with their intensity, but I refused to take it back, it was what I thought and I was going to say everything I thought until he left.His grip loosened slightly, surprise flickering across his face. “Beat you? What the hell are you saying?” he asked, confusion evident in his tone.I shrugged, not willing to let him off the hook so easily. “I mean, it'd be shocking if you don't. It should run in the family. The genes whatever, didn't they teach you that in biology?” I retorted, my voice dripping with sarcasm. “Damon has it, and I don't think he got it from his mother.” I walked to
I woke up the next morning feeling like a heavy weight was pressing down on me, squeezing the air out of my lungs. Depression settled over me like a thick blanket, making it hard to summon the energy to even get out of bed. Zara had came to take me to the dining for breakfast, but I couldn't bring myself to join them for breakfast, she even brought it to me as Victor wanted but I had less appetite than my will to live. Instead, I dragged myself to the bathroom, showered, and dressed in clothes that felt too light for my weary body.Back in bed, I hesitated before reaching for my phone. I knew there would be notifications waiting for me, but I wasn't sure if I had the strength to face them. With a heavy sigh, I finally checked my phone and was greeted by a flood of notifications. One of them was a news page I had subscribed to before the baby incident. They had reposted a picture of Victor and me at a red carpet event we attended together. As I stared at the image, I couldn't help but
“Is it okay for your guests to see me here?” I could feel his gaze on me as I stood there, waiting for an answer to my question. The silence stretched on, and instead of a response, he just looked at me, taking in my tired appearance. Then, without a word, he headed to the coffee maker. I watched as he brewed two cups of coffee, and then he held one out to me. “Coffee?”I shot him a look of disbelief. “Seriously? Victor, I just had a miscarriage, and you're offering me coffee?”His eyes widened in realization, and he seemed flustered. “Sorry, I-I didn't know,” he stammered, almost dropping both cups, he then quickly poured them into the sink in his haste.Both cups!I gestured to the sink, shaking my head. “You didn't have to throw both cups – you know what? Forget it. Just answer my question.”He hurriedly wiped his hands, apologizing repeatedly as he did so. I waited patiently, trying to keep my frustration in check as he fumbled around.Finally, he spoke up. “I told Damon to leave
After finishing my chocolate and binge-watching a series of Korendramas, I spent the rest of the morning cooped up in my room. I whiled away the time, staring at the ceiling. When Zara showed up with lunch around one o'clock, I wasn't particularly hungry, I barely had any appetite. Despite that, I managed to eat a little of the casserole and drank the apple juice, leaving not a drop in the cup.Deciding not to bother Zara to clear the plates, I gathered the tray and utensils and made my way to the kitchen. As I entered the living room, I noticed that the guests had already left, leaving only Ashley behind, tapping away on her laptop. Victor was also nowhere to be seen.As I entered the living room, Ashley glanced up briefly and gave me a slight bow before returning to her tasks. She seemed completely absorbed in whatever she was doing, tapping away at her laptop with intense focus. I figured she must be dealing with something important, given her serious demeanor.Understanding that s
After stepping out of the store, I realized I forgot a few items. So, I turned around and went back inside. I headed straight to the sanitary section and picked up some tampons, heat bags, tissues, and a roll-on. The last heat bag I had was no longer useful, so I needed a new one.While I was there, I also grabbed a few sodas for the kitchen fridge, even though I knew I wouldn't be drinking any. With my purchases in hand, I made my way back to the entrance and stepped outside once again, ready to head back home.I climbed into the car after the driver helped load some of the groceries into the trunk and some into the back seat. As we began driving back, I rolled down the windows to let the fresh air in. The gentle breeze almost lulled me to sleep as we drove along. Twenty minutes later, we arrived home, the road was clear and the driver had taken a shortcut.Once we
I woke up to a disorienting haze, unsure of the time or my surroundings. My vision was blurry, and it took a moment for everything to come into focus. As clarity slowly returned, I realized I was surrounded by the frantic voices of Victor, Zara, and Ashley. They sounded panicked and worried.The room was dimly lit, with shadows dancing on the walls from the soft glow of a lamp in the corner. The air felt heavy with tension, and I could sense the urgency in their voices.Struggling to sit up, I rubbed my eyes and tried to make sense of the situation. It was clear that something was wrong, but I couldn't quite grasp what it was. My head throbbed with a dull ache, adding to my confusion.I struggled to comprehend the flurry of words swirling around me until a few seconds passed. Through the haze, I noticed a woman dressed in a black polo shirt and ripped jeans standing
I started eating the carrots, focusing on the familiar taste and texture to distract myself from the awkwardness of the situation. From the corner of my eye, I noticed Victor making his way to the vanity table. He placed the vitamins down with a thud, the sound catching my attention and startling me a bit.What was that for?As he returned, his presence loomed over me, making me acutely aware of his proximity. I could feel the firmness of his abdomen against my knees, causing a slight flush to rise to my cheeks. He reached across to grab the paper from the other side, his movements deliberate and controlled. With a quick glance, he scanned the contents of the paper before carefully folding it and tucking it away into his pocket.“You sure know of all the ways to end me” He sat at the corner of the bed. “and you alm
I woke up alone in bed, feeling a bit disoriented. Victor wasn't there, and I couldn't help but wonder where he had gone off to. Curious, I decided to ask Zara, who was probably busy tidying up the living room as the shuffling and brushing sounds didn't seize until I came out of my room.Her back was facing me.She quickly turned when she heard me approach and slightly bowed.“Good morning Luna, I hope you had a good night”“Oh, thank you, I noticed Victor wasn't in when I woke up” I pointed to my door. “Neither is he in his”He slept in my room, so there was no way he woke up and decided to sleep in his.I didn't think so.Zara nodded with a gentle smile. “Both Alpha Victor and Ashley went to the hotel together, he said something about coming back earlier so that you two would go to the meeting on time.” she replied. “Oh, and he made breakfast before they left.”I nodded, taking in the information. It made sense that Victor had somewhere to be. “Okay then”“Is there anything else y
