THE STAINED LUNA: An Affair With My Mate's Father Awake 2
Tired.I woke up tired and hungry, too hungry.I sat up slowly, the pungent smell of the hospital filling my nostrils. It was not the most pleasant scent, but it was familiar by now. I tried to ignore it as I take in my surroundings.Outside my ward, I can hear the indistinct chatter and laughter of people passing by. Maybe they're talking in the hallway, or maybe they're out in the tiny playground for sick kids. Either way, their voices blend together into a comforting background noise.In the distance, I could hear the cries and wails of other patients. Probably form the other wards, It was a sad sound, but it was also a glaring reminder that I wasn't not alone in thag place. We were all there together, fighting our own battles.And then there was the sound of my own heartbeat, softly thumping in my chest. It's a steady rhythm, I was still alive, still there. I took a deep breath, trying to push aside the discomfort of the hospital smell and the noise of the outside world. I focuse

As I gathered my belongings to leave the hospital, Victor arrived, a little late after the doctor had already left. He helped me sort through the discharge documents and bills without saying much. Despite his presence, I felt how uneasy he was, but I pushed it aside, focusing on the discharge documents I was signing.When the doctor suggested calling Damon earlier, I quickly refused and asked the doctor to call someone else. Even though I was mad at both Victor and Damon at the moment, I'd rather have Victor over than Damon. The doctor seemed surprised by my request but called Victor nevertheless.As we waited for the paperwork to be finalized, Victor glanced at me several times, his expression filled with concern. But I avoided his gaze, keeping my focus on the papers on the doctor desk.Eventually, the nurse returned with the a few other papers, and I signed them quickly, eager to leave. Victor offered to help me carry my bags, but I declined, preferring to handle them myself.As we

Whatever it was, I don't think I had any reason to stay anymore, with him or in the house.I slowly pushed the door shut behind me. With a sigh, I made my way to the queen-sized bed, sinking into the soft material.Taking a moment to breathe, I looked around the room, taking in my surroundings. The walls were painted a soothing shade of grey, with accents of rose scented candles flickering in the corners. It gave the room a warm and inviting atmosphere, one that usually instantly put me at ease, but it didn't anymore it just reminded me the more, why I needed to leave.The decor was simple and elegant, with minimalistic furniture that complemented the overall aesthetic. There was a gender-neutral vibe to the room, making it feel welcoming to anyone who entered.Victor knows his way around design, I'll give him that. After sitting on the bed and in the dark for what felt like hours, I stood up to go the bathroom. Despite having showered before dinner, I still felt sticky and irrita

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

Leo’s POVShock couldn’t even describe how I felt when Michael and Greg were in the same room as us. It was hard not to show my displeasure as I watched them sit eagerly, rubbing their palms at the delicacy presented to them. While Michael was just interested in whatever this was, Greg cast furtive glances at me, but I paid him no attention.The least he could have done was to have informed me beforehand that my best friend had offered him an invitation to have dinner at the house. I could have told him to decline. If he had, Michael would have done the same, and I wouldn’t have had to watch Lila so uncomfortable.She squirmed in her seat, not looking up from the table. Her plate was empty, as she had yet to take what she wanted. But she had already been accosted, so I doubted she was interested in whatever was in those dishes.“This is amazing,” Michael gushed like a child who had just been handed his favorite candy. “I’m sitting in the same room as Leo and Armani. I can’t wait to te

Ana stepped into the pharmacy on her way to Victor's, with a sense of urgency. She made her way to the counter, her eyes scanning the shelves until she found what she was looking for. Birth control pills. She grabbed a pack, paid for it quickly, and left the store, her mind already focused on the night ahead. Hoping no one's attention was in her.Once outside, she took a deep breath and fished the packet out of her bag. She popped a pill into her mouth and swallowed it dry, anticipating her arrival at the mansion. She could feel the excitement building, a mischievous smile playing on her lips as she imagined what was to come.Arriving at the house, she let herself in with the spare key he had given her. The house was quiet, save for the soft hum of voices coming from the dining room. She walked in and found him sitting at the dining table, engrossed in a live Zoom call. His laptop was open in front of him, and two businessmen were visible on the screen, discussing some important matte

After getting the things he needed at the store, Carlos' uncle, Frances decided not to drive straight home if maybe not. Instead, he took a detour to a dimly lit tea shop. He parked in front and walked on foot to a bar a bit farther away. It might be calculated move on his part, a way to throw off anyone who might be following him.Entering the bar, he found a secluded corner and settled in, ordering a few less alcoholic drinks. He knew he needed to stay awake, and nit get drunk. As he sipped his drink, he kept an eye on the door, waiting for his contact to show up. He was told this bar sold cookies, and despite the unusual setting, he couldn't resist ordering some.An hour passed, and there was still no sign of his contact. He ordered another drink, more out of a need to maintain his cover than a desire for alcohol. The bar was a typical dive, with dim lighting and the smell of stale beer hanging in the air. He tried to stay calm, but the wait was beginning to get to him.After wait

Ana spent the rest of her morning and early afternoon in blissful solitude. She played games on her phone, The hours slipped by unnoticed, and soon she felt the heavy pull of sleep. Without bothering to change, she curled up on her bed and napped.When she woke up, it was late afternoon. The house was quieter now, the bustle of the morning's chaos having subsided. She stretched and took a moment to reorient herself, then decided it was time to freshen up and shake off the remnants of sleep. She wanted to make the most of her remaining free time before the annual packs' meeting.She dressed up in a casual chiffon dress, applied a little makeup, grabbed her bag and left her room, moving quietly through the house. She tried her best to avoid any lingering annoying family members, not wanting to risk another confrontation or forced interaction, or even an insult regarding her choice not to get pregnant. As she stepped outside, the cool afternoon air greeted her. Smelt like summer was just

The girl jumped, her face paling as she stammered an apology and quickly scurried away. Ana watched her go, irritation still simmering. She put in her key, twisted until she heard a click and then shd pushed the door open, entering her sanctuary. She took a moment to breathe, willing herself to calm down. The last thing she needed was to let anyone down there see her rattled.She freshened up quickly, splashing cold water on her face and running a brush through her hair. She changed into something more presentable, even though the effort felt wasted. These breakfasts were always the same—forced smiles and shallow conversations, or just them plainly trying to piss her off Descending the stairs. Damon was seated at the head of the table, with Catherine by the left, there was someone else by the right and he gestured the lady to move when he saw me approaching.Well, let's just not start on the part where he just acted nice and weird, like he's been doing lately.Victor, predictably, wa

The next morning, Ana lounged in the living room, munching on popcorn while Zara massaged her feet. She watched as Catherine, always the attention-seeker, prepared an extravagant breakfast. As usual, Catherine had invited almost the entire Pierce family for a feast without bothering to inform anyone beforehand. It was such a Catherine thing to do—spontaneous, inconsiderate, and utterly exhausting for everyone else involved.The kitchen was a chaotic mess of clattering pots and pans, the smell of cooking food thick in the air. Selene and the other maids bustled around, trying to keep up with her relentless pace. Ana watched them with detached amusement, knowing full well that any call for help from Catherine would be met with thinly veiled disdain.Catherine, in her own world, directed the maids with sharp commands, her voice carrying over the noise. Ana knew better than to engage. She had learned long ago that nothing she did would ever be good enough for Catherine, and she had stoppe

In the dimly lit warehouse, the men lounged around, a sense of nonchalance hanging in the air. The men were taking a break from their gruesome duties, their faces reflecting a mix of boredom and tiredness and maybe a bit sleepines. The smell of sweat, smoke, and faint hints of blood filled the room."Hey, you got another one of those?" one of the men asked, nodding toward a cigarette as he sprawled on a worn-out couch."Sure," another replied, tossing him a pack. "We're gonna need something stronger if we have to go back to work soon.""Tell me about it," the first man muttered, lighting his cigarette and taking a deep drag. He exhaled slowly, the smoke curling up towards the ceiling. "I’m tired of babysitting that old woman. shouldn't we just clear her. I wonder why she's here.""Seriously man, but orders are orders," the second man shrugged, leaning back and closing his eyes. "Besides, we’ve got that other guy to keep things interesting."In the corner of the warehouse, their other

Ana woke up early the next morning, the soft morning light filtering through her bedroom window, she was driven home last night after dinner by Jules under Victor's order since he refused to let her hail a taxi. She stretched, shaking off the remnants of sleep. Today was the day she would prepare for the annual packs' meeting, an event that required her to be both presentable and versatile. The meeting was a significant occasion, filled with formal discussions and various activities, and she needed to look her best, but to beat the gossips and also build her confidence.As she dressed after freshening up, her thoughts turned to her wardrobe. Many of her clothes seemed dull and uninspired, and so was the ones she bought earlier for the meeting. She decided it was time to update her collection. Grabbing her phone, she made a quick list of the essentials she needed: a few new dresses, some casual outfits, and accessories to match. She also noted that she might need a couple of versatile

Lucas stood up, pondering her words. He exchanged a glance with the leader of the men, who gave a slight nod."You did the right thing by telling us, Maria," Lucas said. "We'll make sure your grandchildren are safe. But you need to understand that if I find out you lied, your grandkids wouldn't be safe in my hands either"She nodded vehemently, tears streaming down her face. "I swear, everything I just told you is the truth. Please, just protect them. They’re all I have left."He gave her a small, almost pitying smile, that to a normal eye would look a bit forced. "Very well then. We'll do our best. Remember, Maria, trust is a fragile thing. Don't give us a reason to break it.""I promise, I'm not lying"As they left her alone in the warehouse, her heart sank into a deep pit of despair, her mind racing with thoughts of her grandchildren. Outside, Lucas walked briskly to his car, which was parked just outside the warehouse. He climbed into the driver's seat, leaving the door open for a
