Chapter 6: OilHaven
Last Updated:
2024-10-29 19:42:56Now I sit alone on a bench by the roadside and watch the tourists passing by.
Rafe told me he had other things to do and asked me to wait.
"How much longer do I have to wait here?" I asked and in his typical fashion he looked at me and replied "Not long".
I shouldn't have trusted him so much because it's been an hour and he hasn't come back yet.
He had just had a deep conversation with me and shown me another side of himself, and now he left me here alone.
"Hey, alone?" I heard a voice and turned my head. It was a man, blond hair and wearing black sunglasses as if he was on the beach.
"No" I answered straightforwardly, yes I wasn't lying because I wasn't alone now. I came with Rafe even though Rafe is currently away somewhere.
"Miss, no need to be so shy" the man grabbed my hand and I quickly pulled it away. Damn, how dare he touch me.
Since fines are high, Singaporeans should be afraid of committing crimes. However, the damn man spat softly in disgust in front of me.
I know he is a tourist, a shameless tourist, and he probably doesn't know that if he continues like this, he will get into trouble.
"Do you understand the role of women in this world?"he asked impulsively. It reminded me of a drama where a woman was killed by a man because she rejected his love.
It's crazy, but I think I've met people like that on tv show.
"What are you implying?"
"Women are there for men's pleasure. And you, my dear, seem perfectly designed to please me."
"Ugh, this is disgusting." I cursed to myself. My body suddenly stiffened when I saw the eyes of the man who was looking at me so lustfully.
What's the problem? I was dressed normally and wasn't flirting with him. Why is he suddenly acting this way?
"So, beautiful, why don't you join me? I'll book you a room at the luxury Hotel. Ever experienced luxury like that?" he asked haughtily.
What this idiot didn't know was that my husband, er, contract husband, had just reserved the entire building of a luxury hotel for us to have dinner.
If he knew how much it cost, he might rummage through Raph's gold pile like a flea.
"I was hoping to make Rafe proud... too bad he's not here to see this." I looked on with concern.
Tourists acted as if they didn't see anything. Why is everyone afraid of this man?
I tried to look around to find out who this person was. I couldn't find any identifying information other than the bracelet. Yes, a gold bracelet with this famous symbol.
"Hold on, who are you exactly?" I asked, trying to pry for information.
The man raised his arms as if he understood what I was saying.
"The name's Fagri, I run an oil company back in the Middle East." he said haughtily.
"It's called OilHaven. You might have heard of it."
"Why do I always end up crossing paths with wealthy men like this?" I said to myself. The look on my face probably told you how displeased I was with the man's introduction.
"So, how about it? Will you be with me, bear my child, and live happily alongside my other wives?" the blonde man said with a lustful look.
"I'm already married, thank you very much."
"A husband? That's a minor detail. I could even buy him off if necessary." he said haughtily.
I was just talking to myself. Yes, I wasn't scared anymore, especially after I saw the man appear behind the blond man.
"What did you say?"
Rafe's tone made me cringe. The weather was cold and oppressive. Maybe it was just my imagination, but I saw a bright light flashing in the man's eyes, almost like lightning.
"Ah, so he's your husband?"
"Brother, your wife caught my eye. Name your price, and I'll pay it." he said sassily.
"And who might your father be, if I may ask?" asked Rafe still with that cold stare.
"Why the sudden interest in my father? You know who I am. Fagri Soi, owner of OilHaven." he said pointing at Rafe's chest.
The look on Rafe's face told me that the blonde who insulted him wasn't going to end well.
"Such arrogance and perversion. I just hope you're still around to see the sunrise tomorrow." I honestly prayed sincerely for the blonde man's safety.

Many people may be sceptical of what I see. Rafe appears to pick up the phone and dial a number.The call lasted only a few seconds before the man's cell phone rang in front of Rafe."Hello, Dad. I... I'm sorry, Dad. Really sorry." the blond man said in surprise. His father didn't usually call like that."Sorry, Dad. Well, I'm sorry" the man said quietly and looked hesitantly at Rafe who was still staring with that cold gaze."Mr. Rafe, I deeply regret my earlier behavior." said the man with a scared look on his face but still holding fear. "Apology accepted. Now slap yourself three times and leave."To my surprise, the blond man did as Rafe said and slapped himself.Not once, but three times, until I saw blood oozing from the man's nose."Understood, Mr. Rafe. I'll be on my way then." said the man who seemed to be hurrying away from our location. "Thank you for handling that." I said to Rafe, who had solved the problem. "It's nothing to worry about."said Rafe.Rafe was carrying a
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 8: First Secret (POV 3)
The mansion is full of secrets, particularly in a large room where Rafe is alone.The billionaire who married Luna, this man who refused to touch his wife because it was just a contract marriage, seemed to be hiding something big."I refuse to be enslaved by you." Rafe said with sharp eyes. There was no one there, and strangely the man seemed to be talking to someone else.At this time, a big secret was revealed: Rafe's mouth seemed to move involuntarily, and then his eyes darkened, followed by a contemptuous voice."Rafe, you are destined to be my successor. Why resist what's inevitable?""The whole 'mate' concept? It's nonsense. Love shouldn't be shackled by some mystical fate.""But you forget, Rafe, you're not mere human. You're my kin, a werewolf through and through."Anyone who witnesses this scene will undoubtedly believe that this young billionaire is insane. He speaks to himself and exchanges words. However, if we listen closely, we will notice that one of the sounds coming o
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 9: His Wife
This afternoon, I was admiring Rafe's garden because the sun wasn't shining too brightly, making it a perfect afternoon to explore Rafe's vast yard.It was going to be a lovely day, but I seemed to have misunderstood everything."Who is that lady over there?"When I saw the figure near the gate, a woman who was treated with respect by the gatekeepers as if they had known her for a long time, I was intrigued.The woman's eyes locked on mine, and this is where the problem began. We stared for a long time until I noticed a strange smile form on her lips.This is just my delusion, right? Just my hallucinations, right?But it appears that I was mistaken, because that woman is now approaching me. Yes, her intention was clearly to greet me."Hi," she said as she extended her hand. She was a lovely lady with long, wavy hair. She also had a lovely smile on her face and flawless makeup, as I'm sure everyone would agree."Hi"I said as I extended my hand to shake hers, and the woman seemed surpri
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 10: Sitting Awkwardly
The most awkward thing that ever happened to me was when I was in high school and on the bus, the guy sitting next to me farted loudly, which everyone on the bus heard, but he pretended not to hear and continued singing with his earphones plugged in.And I had a feeling those earphones weren't connected to the music player he was carrying.And what happened next was even stranger. I'm sitting in front of this woman, whose name I don't know. In Rafe's living room, we were facing each other.She looked at me occasionally, then at the small mirror in her hand, and then triumphantly smiled.What exactly does that mean? Is she comparing my face to hers and then claiming victory? What in the world is that?As a woman, I was obviously offended; if there had been a makeup kit nearby, I would have challenged this woman to a makeup battle. Damn, it appears that Rafe's arrogance has rubbed off on me."Well, well, if it isn't the one who claims to be Rafe's wife.""You could simply say 'Rafe's wi

The lady in front of me was extremely cruel. She showed me the prostitution catalog she had and invited me to join the prostitution several times."Please, stop. I can't listen to this anymore." I said while holding back tears but tears still fell too.I felt like I needed something for some reason. Rafe's presence is required, as he is usually present in such situations."Rafe? Are you there? Please, show up."I couldn't stand listening to the woman in front of me babble. Yes, and I was startled to hear footsteps. Rafe appeared to have come and gone.I was about to stand up because I felt compelled to complain about everything to the mysterious man who had lied to me.But I was outmatched when the woman in front of me stood up quickly, half-running to meet Rafe, who had just entered."Are they embracing each other?" I was almost at a loss for words when I saw what was happening. The woman was hugging Rafe and Rafe seemed fine with it.What the hell is going on? Why would Rafe want to
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 12: Cold
Rafe has recently become more distant from me. Did he mean this when we discussed what would happen if we changed in Singapore?I'm not sure if he's joking, but it appears that luck is playing tricks on me right now."Hello Luna, it's been a while since we last met." said the woman I knew so well. The woman with long wavy hair.A beautiful woman with the characteristics I despised the most. Aline was the one who entered Rafe's house with several large suitcases."Why are you here?" I asked, trying to stay strong even though my instinct told me that something bad was going to happen again."I'm thinking of moving in here, actually." she said with a sweet smile. A sweet smile that hid her devilish face.I was speechless, especially since Rafe had also emerged from his room, carrying her suitcase inside."Wait, you guys live in the same room.""No" Rafe replied briefly but Aline walked over and whispered to me."Not at the moment, but who knows about the future?" "By the way, Luna, you
Tales of the Moonlit Grimoire Chapter 13: Threat
My life has been hell for a month since Aline moved into this house. I haven't even cracked a joke in a long time.Even the jokes I see on TV have lost their zing. "Hey, are you actually watching TV?" she asked even though it was obvious. What else was I doing in front of the big TV with the remote in my hand. "Just so you know, my father owns that TV station." Aline started her sentence as if she wanted to insinuate my poverty again."And your point is?" "Oh, and that other station? My uncle's the owner."I stood up and attempted to walk away from the sofa, but Aline abruptly stopped me again. "Don’t even think of moving. Step away, and I'll wreck your life, guaranteed." she threatened and for some reason I was always afraid of her threats. I didn't know what was going on, but this woman seemed to have a power that I couldn't control.I sat back, warily watching Aline, fearful that she would do something dangerous again. "Luna, ever realize how the mass media rules the world?""

I woke up at five o'clock this morning, kept awake by Aline's mention of a surprise planned for seven a.m.If Aline's surprise had been something fun, I bet I could've actually slept. But no, it was a threat."I really hope she doesn't do anything crazy." I whispered to myself.I was a mess, my stomach doing flips all because of the crazy anxiety.As the sun popped up, I had to face the real deal – no escaping it.And Rafe? He wasn’t around again. Seems like he's always caught up in his own stuff these days."No matter what, Luna, don't give in." I gripped my hand tightly, clenching my fingers into a fist and hoping that today wouldn't be the worst day of my life.Stepped outside and there was Aline, just standing there, with the TV blaring at full blast."Luna, I got these high-end speakers just for today." Aline pointed at the speakers I'd only ever seen in social media ads."Aline, please tell me you were joking yesterday.""I'm serious about everything I say, Luna."My heart's pou

We visited my grandmother's grave and found the place unkempt. As Rafe had mentioned, her grave had remained intact, contradicting my belief that it had been torn down due to the surrounding new construction."Luna, come on," Rafe urged, leading me to the cemetery.I grabbed some tools and started clearing the overgrown grass."Why hasn't this cemetery been torn down?" I asked, aware of the ruthless business tactics often employed these days, where even homes are not spared for the sake of profit."The company that owns the adjacent property is having financial difficulties," Rafe informed me.Then he added, "I plan to buy all that land," leaving me stunned."Thank you," I said, realizing that expressing gratitude had become a habit for me. I truly appreciated all that he had done.After tending to the grave, Rafe and I decided to dine at a nearby restaurant. Its simple charm was refreshing, a reminder of how much I missed such unpretentious places.Having spent the past month indulgi

I never thought it would end. The last few months have been really exhausting for me and I'm glad they're finally over."Luna, what are you going to wear?" Rafe asked as he approached me with a group of people behind him. They seemed to be famous fashion designers."What do you think would look good on me?" I replied, bringing out Rafe's playful side."Anything looks good on you, Luna," he flirted, earning nothing more than a playful flick of my tongue in return. Rafe laughed heartily, his demeanor so different from before.He seemed much more alive and approachable now, almost like a new person."Did you hear about Faghri? He's going to run for president," Rafe announced, taking me completely by surprise. Faghri, once notorious for his ruthless ways, had transformed himself into a respectable figure, and now he was eyeing the presidency."Rafe, you're serious, aren't you?" I asked, looking for confirmation in his expression. He nodded solemnly, confirming the surprising news."I'm se

That morning, the shocking news reverberated across all media platforms, sending waves of disbelief around the world. Television programs, newspapers, and online outlets all carried the same headline: "Assassination at the President's Office: President Etas fatally shot by trusted aide". The uniformity of the reports, which all followed the same chronology, was striking, with not a single source challenging the narrative of President Etas' untimely demise.In stark contrast to this grim news, a more personal story was unfolding in an old but grand home. Here, Rafe and Aline were seen in a tender embrace, their affection evident in front of Rafe's parents. The atmosphere was one of familial warmth and impending change."Rafe, have you decided who you are going to marry?" inquired Rafe's father, a hint of expectation in his voice. Rafe's answer was a nod, followed by a frank admission, "Legally, I am married to Luna. But in matters of the heart, not yet." His words revealed a complicate

The presidential palace was eerily quiet that day, a stark contrast to the tightly secured perimeter outside. Inside, however, the atmosphere in the President's private chamber was anything but calm.Aline's father, the President, was visibly seething with rage. His face was contorted with rage, the veins on his neck were pronounced, and his body tensed as if ready to spring into action. The anger inside him had reached a boiling point."Bastards! I'll kill them all," he roared, the words thick with raw emotion.The tragic death of his daughter Aline had devastated him. Ironically, he had denied her Secret Service protection out of respect for her wishes to engage in something illegal, a decision he now bitterly regretted."I swear, everyone involved will pay," he bellowed, his tone dripping with vehemence.In a fit of desperation, he threw a paper across his desk, his demeanor mirroring that of someone lost in a terrifying episode of unbridled madness.At that moment, there was a ten

On the other side of the picturesque park where love once blossomed, next to a quiet street, Faghri sat alone, lost in thought."It seems I took too long to realize it," he murmured to himself, reflecting on his past mistakes.It was a moment of deep regret for Poria. He lamented that he had not met Luna earlier and thought about a different fate."If I had met Luna earlier, would I have been the one she loved?" Faghri wondered aloud.He sat brooding in solitude, struggling with a fate that seemed inexplicable and unfair."Never mind," he finally sighed, trying to accept what he couldn't change.As tears trickled down his cheeks, Faghri quickly wiped them away, trying to regain his composure.Looking back, he noticed that Luna and Rafe had returned. They seemed to have reconciled and returned to normal. Faghri watched them, a mixture of relief and sadness in his heart."How was it? Was the curse finally lifted?" asked Faghri, trying to maintain a calm and undisturbed demeanor regardin

Luna chased Rafe to the edge of the highway, her heart pounding with a mixture of fear and determination. Rafe stood dangerously close to the edge, his eyes a lifeless gray that reflected his apparent resignation to ending his life."Rafe!" Luna's voice broke through the tense air, a mixture of fear and relief coloring her tone.Rafe turned, his expression one of disbelief. "Why are you here?" he asked, his words laced with disbelief.Without a word, Luna delivered a powerful punch to Rafe's cheek, leaving him momentarily stunned. Her voice, trembling with a cocktail of emotions, scolded him, "What's the point of us surviving all this time if you're just going to throw your life away?"As Rafe looked at her, his eyes changed, darkening with a resurgence of hatred. "Luna...go away. I don't want to kill you," he said softly, his voice strained with the effort of suppressing his darker impulses.It was all because of the Alpha Oath that Rafe harbored a deep-seated desire for revenge agai

I opened the letter Faghri had just given me. It was a letter written directly from Rafe, who was nowhere to be found.**To Luna,I know I've caused you a lot of trouble. I selfishly planned to save us both from this terrible fate, but now I realize that may not be possible. It seems that one of us must make a sacrifice, and I have chosen to be the one to do so.Luna, perhaps we will meet again in our next reincarnation, hopefully free of this curse. Before I met you, I lived a lonely life, but your presence brought color to my world.For you, Luna, I cannot break the Alpha Oath. After Aline's death, my desire for revenge has grown. I am torn between wanting to hurt you and loving you.You no longer need to look for me. If my father asks, please give him this letter. I do not want to bring suffering to anyone, so I have decided to end my life.I believe the waves will take me to the next life.Thank you, Luna.**The message ended with my heart racing wildly. This message was a clear
