Chapter 5-Meeting Mr Ceo again.

As usual, Sylvana had left Lunaria with her stuff for her to get home while she hurried off in her limousine running off to tell her mother what had happened.

Lunaria had to find a way to get the numerous shopping bags home and luckily for her, she found some dollar notes on the ground.

She looked around and picked them up, hoping the owner wasn't really in need of them before hailing a taxi and going home.

The moment she got home and entered with the shopping bags, she was met with a smack on the head, fingers held at her ears twisting and dragging her off to the sitting room where a furious Dominic and a crying Sylvana awaited while Queen Julia made it a goal to box Lunaria's ears before even letting her speak.

"Get on your knees, whore!" Queen Julia spat, "I should have killed you the day you were born! From disgracing us to whoring around with your sister's future husband."

Future husband?!

Lunaria had no idea that Xander and Sylvana had met and that they were even to be married. She stared at them, biting at her lips with tears clouding her eyes as the pounding in her ears increased.

"How dare you Lunaria?! Haven't you done enough?!" Dominic screamed at her, "How did he even get to look at the freak?"

"I swear I didn't do anything." She shook her head trying to explain, "I bumped into him and spilled Sylvana's latte, he offered to get me another one and a dress as an apology. Nothing more happened, I swear!"

"Mother." Sylvana complained, "You should have seen the way he was looking at her and they were so near. He even smiled at her and stroked her cheek!"

"Ah! Sylvana, that never happened."

"Are you calling my precious daughter a liar?!" Queen Julia smacked Lunaria across the face, "You are throwing yourself at men now and you are just twenty two what will you do when you are grown?! Get pregnant and bring a bastard like you home?"

"I am sorry. I didn't realize." She apologized profusely bending her head, "We didn't do anything, I swear."

"Where is the dress he got you?!" Queen Julia barked at her, "Get it here."

Lunaria got up immediately and got the black bag, there was a huge brand sign on it and Sylvana gasped seeing it, "Mother, she surely has bewitched him! That's Chanel's mum. How could he buy her a Chanel dress on the first meeting if she hasn't thrown herself at him?"

"Don't worry darling." Queen Julia assured her bringing out the dress, "Zander is yours, your sister here might just be a plaything to him." She turned to Lunaria who admired the beautiful black dress, "You do not deserve such finery."

She tossed the dress to her daughter, "Wear it on your dinner out tonight."

Lunaria stood and watched as Sylvana collected the dress with glee, she stuck out her tongue at her and raced towards her room hoping to try the dress.

"And as for you!" Queen Julia gripped Lunaria's chin, "If I find out that you lied about your interaction with Xander and more had happened, I would kill you!"

She nodded in agreement, "Yes ma."

"Get away from my Sight and go prepare dinner! As for your punishment, you shall clean the guest quarters and have no food this night."

Lunaria got up after she pushed her away, she sniffed back her tears and went about her chores quickly not wanting to anger her mother further and while she carried them out, she imagined that Sasha was still alive and she found her thoughts wandering to her wearing that beautiful black dress and going on a date with Zander if only wishes were horses.

Queen Julia was worried about Lunaria meeting Xander. Even if she knew that he would never be interested in that ugly thing, she was scared that her chances of Sylvana getting with Xander would be slim.

For him to get her a Chanel dress in less than an hour of the meeting, he was surely smitten by her.

"What did he see in her?" She growled flinging her phone across the room, "I can't believe that wretched thing caught his eye before my darling daughter did."

The anger she felt towards poor Lunaria further doubled and she rang for the head maid.

"Hello ma'am " The lady replied, "Is there anything you need?"

"Yes. Send Lunaria with some money and tell her to go get golden goose eggs."

"Golden geese eggs?" The maid was dumbfounded, "There isn't-"

"Do you want to keep your job?"

"Yes, ma."

"Do it."

Lunaria almost laughed when she got her errand. She had no choice but to follow but she believed that truly, her mother was running mad.

She wandered in the streets, feeling stupid enough to ask the stores for golden goose eggs because such things surely do not exist except in fairytales and this wasn't a wonderland.

As she walked, her phone beeped with messages and she ignored them knowing that they were from Aaron.

He had been on her neck for days apologizing and seeking to meet her.

She knew she would be stupid to forgive him but she felt that she should as he was her only friend.

And so when she felt the urge to pick up her phone and text him to meet her, she didn't resist and went ahead.

Aaron had come immediately after he got the text and he met her by the corner of the street. She saw him smile when he caught sight of her and he immediately ran up to hug her.

"Dear Lunaria, I have missed you."

"Let go." She pushed him off and stepped back, "I haven't forgiven you."

"I am sorry." He took in a deep breath, "What do you want me to do? I made a silly mistake and I want to be forgiven."

She looked at him recognizing the remorse and she nodded indicating that she had forgiven him, she couldn't be angry at him forever and he had sworn not to do it again.

"Do you want me to drop you off?" He asked climbing onto his bike, "Are you done with your errands?"

"No." She shook her head, "I am fine, you can go on."

"Oh come on Lu. Don't you trust me? Or are you still holding a grudge?!" He seemed to have been getting angry, "I thought you said you have forgiven me?"

"I have I can't just go with you now. I have things to do."

"I can hang around till you are done."

"No Aaron, please go." She turned on her heels attempting to walk off but he grabbed her pulling her back, "Let go."

"Why are you making it so difficult?!" He turned her to face him, "Do I scare you? I shouldn't scare you, I am about to be your boyfriend."

"No, you are not! We are just friends."

"Who would want you if not me Lunaria?"

She sharpened her gaze, staring up at him, he was just a folly fellow who would never change and she began to regret reconnecting with him again.

"Let me go, Aaron."

"Not till you agree to be my girlfriend!" He shook her, rattling her in his hold, "Stop making things so difficult!"

"I believe the lady said no!" A voice came interrupting their interaction.

"Who the hell are you?!" Aaron pushed Lunaria away turning immediately to the voice.

she tried absorbing her shock and faced the man who had intruded, her eyes widening in surprise.

"The hell do you think you are?" Aaron gritted.

"I am Xander Ashton and you might want to step away from what is mine."
