After Adrian left the room, I huffed and ran my fingers through my hair in anger.How did I end up coming here?I tried to recall everything, then realized that I fainted in the road and the last thing I saw was Adrian's face.Why did he take me to this house? He could drop me directly at my house too.As I was getting enraged at him, my eyes fell on the paper bag lying on the couch.I walked to it and grabbed it to see what was inside. As soon as I opened the bag, I found a dress inside.I rolled my eyes. That man was really something.I understood that he arranged the dress for me.I hurriedly went to take a shower in the bathroom.This room was very familiar to me.Every corner of this room was filled with my memories. My mind kept reminding me of everything.I took a quick shower, and left the bathroom after wearing the dress.I rubbed my hair with a towel while my eyes were searching for my bag around the room.My children and my parents might be very worried about me.And Max...
I moved my hands away from her right away. I averted my gaze and cleared my throat.I did not want to talk to anyone about it. That man had given me so much pain. Because of him, I had to suffer a lot. It was all right for him to feel regret.Suddenly, I clenched my jaw when I thought that man had almost taken advantage of me.He dared to change my clothes. I felt so uncomfortable that he saw me naked."I am happy that this dress fits you well, Luna."Amanda's voice caused me to shift my attention to her once again."Last night, Alpha told me to change your clothes. I had to put on Alpha’s clothes on you since there were no dresses in this house. But today, Alpha ordered this dress for you. I am amazed that he knows the perfect size."I was stunned when I heard Amanda.Did he not change my clothes?I bit my bottom lip, thinking that I had misunderstood him.I let out a sigh of relief and said to Amanda,"I'm leaving, Amanda. Where are my shoes?""Luna, don't leave right now. I set the
Upon turning my head to look at the table, I discovered that each and every one of the dishes was my favorite.Given that I had been living in this house with Amanda for two years, she was aware of the dishes that I liked the most."Why are you doing this?" I asked Adrian while eyeing the food.I turned my head at him with a brow lifted."Did you poison any of the food?"He gave me a poker face as if I said something meaningless."What?""Eat."After placing some food on a plate that he had grabbed, he then placed the plate in front of me.Suddenly, I remembered how I had been waiting for him in this dining room for the nights, thinking that he would return and I could serve him food like that. But he never returned home.I looked away from the plate. Why could I just not forget those things?People moved on in their lives, didn't they? Why could I not do the same?I ignored looking at him and focused on eating. I ate fast so that I could leave this house as soon as possible.I felt f
Adrian's POVMy guards were about to move to approach Natalia for what she had just done.But I gestured with my hand to stop them right there.I shut my eyes as the water rolled down from my head to my face, then my clothes."You are a piece of shit to me. Know your worth before approaching me again."After saying those bitter words, she left the dining room.I wiped the water away from my face with my hand and looked at the guards, who appeared to be shocked."Go to my car and hand over her shoes and bag."The guards were perplexed as to why I was not angry at the woman."Go!" I demanded harshly."Y-Yes, Alpha."They hurriedly left the dining room. I stared at the door for a while.I did not get mad at her at all. I deserved it.Didn't I also treat her like that during our marriage?I thought about the things that I read in her diary again, and it made me regret once more.After that night, I never dared to read that diary again. It was because I was afraid that the more I read that
Natalia's POVI was heading to my house in Max's car. He was such a caring person. He only asked once about what I was doing at Adrian's house.When I explained to him that I fainted last night because of a fever, he did not ask anything further.He said he trusted me.I turned my head at him. He was a nice guy. Why was I feeling like I cheated on him?Last night, Adrian and I were really close to each other. Though he was just healing my wound, I did not think any boyfriend would take that lightly.I did not say anything about that to Max. I was afraid that he would feel upset. He did not like Adrian since he was my ex-husband.When we arrived at my house, I unfastened the seatbelt and got out of the car.Max also got down and came toward me. He checked on my forehead and said,"You don't have a fever right now. It's surprising."He was right. After last night, I began to feel light and refreshed.It seemed like that wound was the only thing that was causing me to lose my strength."
I left my parent's room and headed to my bedroom. I strolled to my bed after placing my bag on the couch in my bedroom.I lay on the bed and stared at the ceiling.I stared at it for a long time.I suddenly had an urge to go to the forest and run for a while. My mind had turned messier. It was all because of that one man.Who told him to heal me that way? I could have lived with that wound.I remembered how I threw water on his face. Yet he looked calm, as if my action did not anger him.His calmness annoyed me. I wanted to see the Adrian, who dared to challenge me all the time.I wanted to make him taste all of his medicine in return.I did not know when my eyes closed and I fell asleep.It was afternoon when my eyes opened.I sat up and scratched my head. I yawned and walked out of my room.I stopped beside my children's room and opened the door.I noticed they were doing something on a tab. When I closed the door behind me, they turned their heads at me."Mommy, when did you wake u
The weekend was a day off for the family and friends to spend together.I was getting ready to go out with my children. They were very happy. I could see their happiness in their eyes.It wasn't because they were going with me; it was because they were going with their parents together.I remembered the days that I had to pass like an orphan. I also wondered if I could have parents like other children. I used to ask the moon goddess why she did not give me one or why she parted them away from me, leaving me an orphan.When Gamma Jeremy adopted me, I was very happy at that time. I thought I could live a normal life, like other children. However, all of my hopes were crushed when he told me what my place was in his eyes. He and his wife, Cora, never took me somewhere.Instead of taking care of me, they gave me a scary life."Mommy, are you ready?"I heard Aria's voice. I shifted my gaze to the mirror and saw her standing at the door.I smiled at her when I saw she was spinning around to
When I turned my head, I found both of my children staring at me awkwardly.I frowned at them. They immediately turned their heads away from me.I was confused by their looks. What had happened to them suddenly?Didn't they say a few months ago that they liked Max?"Are you sure?" Max asked."Yeah, I'm sure.""Okay, then see you there.""Hmm."The moment I removed my phone from my ear, I heard Noah's voice."Mommy, is Uncle Max also going there?"I looked at him, observing his look carefully and replied,"Yeah."Aria pouted her lips and said, "But it should be only four of us."I was stunned. "Why can't he join us? Did you two not like Uncle Max?"Noah blinked his eyes and muttered, "Yeah, but we thought it was only us."I patted his head and tried to assure him, "He is a very kind person. You two will like him."After hearing me, they did not say anything. I also kept quiet.The whole ride turned silent. I began to feel that I had done something wrong since my children's happiness ha
