"Don't do that again, Natalie. You're just fooling yourself because of what you did earlier." Natalie sighed because of her friend's words. Lynn also joined Natalie on her city travel, staying with Natalie until she made sure that Natalie was doing well and had already moved on from Norwan.Natalie sits from her designated seat and looks at Lynn, who is frowning at her, while Chad is behind Lynn, who is smiling awkwardly. Chad told Lynn what had happened earlier, and Lynn was so mad because of what Chad had told her."You and he are no longer bound to each other; you are supposed to accept that, Natalie; look what he said to you earlier," Lynn said and sat beside Natalie."I know that. I'm just hoping a little that his heart will soften." Natalie said and sighed. "But I guess his heart will never be softened anymore as he is no longer interested in me." She added. Lynn sighed as she watched her best friend's reaction. While Chad sits in his designated chair, which is in front of Natal
Norwan arrives at his mansion late at night; Cora is waiting at him in front of the main door and immediately stands from her place as soon as she sees Norwan walking in her direction.“Norwan, thank goodness you’re here already; I’ve been waiting for you for an hour; where did you go?” She asked and immediately smelled the scent of alcohol from him.“Did you drink tonight?” She asked and immediately assisted Norwan, who was not in his right mind then; he was already drunk and couldn’t think straight. “Gosh, what are you doing to yourself, Norwan? This is not normal anymore. You drank too much tonight.” Cora said. “Maids! Help me get Norwan to his room!” Cora shouted, which caused all the maids from Norwan’s mansion to get up from their bed and assist Cora and Norwan. Cora puts Norwan down to the floor as she can’t carry him anymore because of his weight; she rolls her eyes and watches the maid put Norwan in his room upstairs.“Make sure he can’t have any wounds,” Cora said as she fo
ONE YEAR LATER.Cora smiles as soon as she sees herself in the mirror; after checking herself, she goes to the dining table and sees Norwan drinking his coffee alone in the dining area. She walks towards him with a broad smile on her lips.“Good morning, handsome.” Cora greets him; Norwan doesn’t look at her; instead, he focuses on the newspaper he’s holding. Cora sighed and went closer to him. “Have you eaten your breakfast already?” She asked.“Yes,” Norwan answers without even looking at Cora. Because of that, Cora frowned and looked at the newspaper he was holding.“What are you reading?” She asked as soon as she read the title of the headline. “Don’t tell me you’re still concerned with your ex-luna; she’s not worth it to think of, Norwan.” She said and sat down beside him. Norwan didn’t look at her; instead, he sat and put down his coffee nug.“Hey, where are you going? Are you not going to join me to eat the breakfast?” She asked and watched Norwan turn his back from her.“I al
“Are you gonna eat here later?” Cora asked while watching Norwan arrange his suit while looking at himself in the mirror. Norwan didn’t look at her as he had already gotten his case.“No.” He said coldly and walked away to Cora. Cora followed him while her brows frowning; she didn’t understand why Norwan acted like this. “Norwan, can we talk for a second?” She asked while following him, but Norwan didn’t even look at her as he continued walking down the stairs.“We can talk later, Cora. There is something I need to do today. I can’t be late.” He said and walked directly to the kitchen to get his drink.“But Norwan, just for a second, please.” She said Norwan was about to walk away with her when Cora blocked his way. Norwan looks at her with his frowning forehead.“About what?” He asked. Cora sighed and crossed her arms.“I don’t get why you’re acting like that, Norwan.” She said, so Norwan chuckled.“What do you mean, Cora?” He asked and took a look at his watch. “I really need to go
Everyone applauds while looking at Natalie, who is standing in the middle with her beautiful smile; she looks stunning at this point with her red curvy gown, partnered by her red mini bag and red heels. Her lips are also red, and her hair is now long, blonde, curly, and wavy; it suits her style today, and everyone in the room is admiring her beauty, including Norwan, who is straightly looking at and watching her action.“I never thought she would look like this… she’s beautiful as ever,” Norwan said with his smile and smiled while watching her, but those smile faded away as he saw Chad put his hand to Natalie’s waist and kiss her cheeks, this boils his blood as he saw what that Beta did to Natalie. Norwan was about to stand when he suddenly remembered something.“What the heck is happening to me?” He asked himself and looked at Natalie again; she was smiling with the guest talking to her.“I forgot, she's no longer my Luna anymore.” He smirks because of what he’s thinking right now. H
Natalie woke up early in the morning to get ready to go to her company day; this was the very first time she would start to work for their company as his father also gave all their family businesses to her after the ritual they did to make Natalie the new alpha of the clan. Natalie looks to Chad, sipping his coffee and driving the car. Chad will drop her off at the company building before he starts the mission given by Natalie.“Are you sure you will do the mission?” Natalie asked, so Chad turned to look at her and smiled as he nodded. Natalie sighed and looked out the window.“But why? You’re my boyfriend already, Chad. You do not need to take a mission given by me.” Natalie said that Chad forced Natalie to give him the latest mission as he wanted to do that job and take it personally as that job was connected to him. Natalie can’t say NO to him because she knows that if she does that, Chad can still do the mission with or without her permission.“I told you I wanted to take that mis
Norwan rushed to his office after reading the document that Trever had given; he was mad and wanted to hurt someone just because of what he had read. As he arrived at his office, he immediately informed his secretary to call Natalie's office and set an appointment to meet her that day. After that, he sits in his office chair facing the documents referring to the termination of the contract."What is she planning to do? Don't tell me she will terminate our business partnership just because of our past? This is ridiculous!" Norwan says to his mind and tries to calm himself, but he can't because he knows what would happen if Natalie terminates their partnership with Norwan's business. This may have caused Norwan's business to fall in sales and some investors to cancel their shares and put them in Natalie's office.Natalie's father, Grego, was known to be the most influential and powerful Alpha in town. Adding to this is that their pack was also known to be the most influential pack in th
Norwan is stunned when Natalie calls him by his full name; this is the very first time that Natalie calls him using his full name. He was also stunned while looking at Natalie; it seemed like Natalie was a very different person. From the red lipstick on her lips, short brown curly hair, and how she dressed. These things Natalie hadn’t done before. Norwan also remembered what Natalie told him about her hair.“When will you cut your hair? It’s too long.” Norwan asked, so Natalie smiled at him and put down the utensils she held.“I will only cut my hair if we break up and I move on from you,” Natalie said with a wide smile.“That’s ridiculous. Why would you even do that?” Norwan asked, so Natalie chuckled and walked in his direction.“Because I believe that my hair is the witness to how our relationship started, and all our memories resemble my hair.” She answered, which made Norwan smile secretly.Norwan swallowed after he remembered what Natalie said to him.“What can I help you? Mr. N
“Did I make her wait?” Norwan asked soon as he entered the VIP room in the club of Mario. He looked at his friend and found someone.“Where is she?” Norwan asked and went close to his friend. Mario laugh at him and gave him a shot glass.“She’s still not arriving, and she texted me saying that she will be late for 5 minutes,” Mario said. Norwan sighed in relief, knowing Natalie was not yet arriving.“Why took you so long?” Mario asked. Norwan drinks the alcohol given by Mario and looks to his friend.“Cora and I had a little argument before I went here.” He said that’s why Mario chuckles and starts to make fun of him.“Did you say ‘sorry’ to her?” He asked, making fun of Norwan. “Or did you even update her?” He added. Norwan just rolled his eyes and sighed.“Just kidding, bro, don’t take it personally,” Mario said, knowing Norwan would get mad anytime now.“To be honest, it irritates me. I mean, she’s always blaming Natalie even if we had a small fight.” Norwan said, so Mario sat down
Natalie is looking to nowhere while her mind is floating in the air, and tears are flowing down her eyes. She couldn’t feel anything now except her heart that was dying inside of her body. Natalie couldn’t believe she would experience the same thing again with a different man. She was disappointed in herself, knowing that she had fully trusted Chad and accepted him. Natalie is also asking herself if she deserves this pain that she’s feeling right now and if she’s worth it to be loved because, for the second time, she’s hurting again, a different man, but the same action.Natalie is sitting down on the cold street of Nara Park, where she chose to be alone here and unwind after what happened yesterday; she has no idea where Chad is at this moment, and she promises herself not to make any connection to Chad ever again after knowing that Chad is cheating on her for almost eight months now. At this moment, Natalie thinks that she will do anything to find out who the girl Chad cheats with h
Norwan's ears perked up because of what Cora said to him; his aura darkened, and his eyes became lifeless. Cora was terrified after seeing Norwan like this after she said those words; she never imagined that Norwan would get offended by what she said about Natalie.“What’s wrong with you?” Norwan asked while looking at Cora coldly. “You always added Natalie to our nonsense conversation. Is that really how you think?” Norwan asked sarcastically; it’s always been like that. Cora always includes Natalie in their conversation, whether they’re arguing or she’s jealous of something. Norwan couldn’t handle her words to Natalie anymore as he knew that Natalie wasn’t doing something wrong to Cora.“Now you’re siding with her, huh? I am your fiancee here, Norwan. You should be on my side, not hers.” Cora said, so Norwan sighed and closed his eyes. He’s losing his patience slowly, and anytime he can say words to Cora that might hurt her feelings.“She’s not doing anything wrong with you, Cora, s
Natalie sighed and watched the children play in the playground while waiting for someone; she was dressed in her usual dress code, long white sleeves paired with her ripped jeans and high red heels. She looks around as if she’s looking for someone to come. After looking around, she sighed for the second time and looked at her wristwatch.“Where is he?” She asked herself as she watched the children play around. She makes herself busy with protecting those children. She suddenly remembered wanting to have a kid someday with Norwan. She chuckles as she remembers that she dreamed of her.“What a pathetic dream of me.” She said to herself and sighed once again. She’s been waiting for Chad to come to the playground, as she received a message from him saying he would meet her there. Natalie is waiting for him for almost an hour, yet Chad isn’t there, and Natalie is losing her patience as the sun sets down.“This is the second time he did this to me,” Natalie said and stood up from the swing,
“Are you free tomorrow morning? I would like to meet you.” Natalie said to her friend, Lynn, via call while she was signing the papers in front of her.“Sorry, Natalie, I have a plan for tomorrow, but I could meet you the next day,” Lynn said, so Natalie looked at her schedule and sighed.“What a wrong timing, I have meetings the next day. I guess we should reschedule our bonding next time.” Natalie said and heard Lynn chuckle. Natalie leans into her chair and sighs.“After tomorrow, I will always be free for you,” Lynn said, so Natalie smiled.“Thank you, I really need to talk to you. I don’t know what would happen if I didn’t release all the thoughts in my mind,” Natalie said and sipped her wine.“No worries, we could talk about it next time, and I will listen to all of your rants,” Lynn said. Natalie smiles and says goodbye to Lynn before hanging up the call. Natalie sighed as she looked at her phone and back at the papers in front of her.“I will go insane by this paper.” She said
Natalie was about to go near Lynn when Lynn suddenly walked towards the department store and hugged one person from there. Natalie couldn’t see the person’s face, and her forehead was fully frowning while she watched Lynn hugging that person.A little smile formed on Natalie’s lips, and sighed. This was the first time she saw her friend going out with someone. And Lynn doesn’t even tell her about it or say something about that person.“Maybe Lynn wants to surprise me that she will have a boyfriend soon.” Natalie said to herself and did not bother to chase Lynn anymore; instead, she walked in a very different way from her friend and started to manage her own business.Norwan rolls his eyes for the third time while listening to Cora’s rant. He has no choice but to be with Cora today because his sister commands him to be with Cora that day and even does some things for him so that he can’t make any excuse for not going out with Cora.“That Natalie acts like she’s so very brave and powerf
The following day, Natalie went to her office as early as she would meet one person from there. She had no time to think of what was happening yesterday, and she couldn’t take the thoughts running through her mind the whole day yesterday, so she hired one person to address all the questions running through her head.Natalie also didn’t see Chad go home yesterday, so she couldn’t ask Chad what she saw in the kitchen trash can.“Did I wait you too long?” Natalie asked as soon as she entered her office; she immediately went to her chair, put down the coffee she was holding, and then looked at the person in front of her.“No.” It says and smiles. “You just arrived on time,” he added, so Natalie smiled, nodded, and then sat in her chair and got something under her table.“As I told you in our conversation yesterday, here are the details of the person I want you to check.” She said and gave the brown folder to the man before her.“I want you to see and observe that person’s actions.” She ad
The next day, Natalie woke up early in the morning with a smile on her lips; she noticed that Chad was no longer in his place when she woke up and left a note on the mini table beside her to inform Natalie that he was going to his work early this morning because of an emergency. Natalie sighed and couldn’t do anything or say anything because she knew his job was essential to Chad.Natalie then stood up from her bed and walked downstairs to eat breakfast; she started her morning routine by washing her face and brushing her teeth to make her food.As she made breakfast, she noticed something in the kitchen trash can, so Natalie went near the trash can and got the thing she saw.“What is this?” Natalie asked herself while holding the underwear she found in the trash can of her kitchen with her forehead frowning.She starts to think of something… “This is not mine.” She said to herself and stood up.“Nelly,” Natalie called her maid, and after seconds of waiting, the maid came and arrived
Chad sighed as he watched Natalie turn her back from him; he put down the plates he was holding and looked at his phone as soon as he felt its vibration. He rolls his eyes and puts it back in his pocket once he sees the messages he received and then looks up to the stairs where Natalie is heading. Chad can’t blame Natalie as he knows she is mad at him because she waited for him for about three hours last night.Chad was about to follow Natalie to her room when his phone rang, so he got it from his pocket and answered the call.“What do you want?” He asked while his head was frowning. He sighed, massaged his forehead, and then went outside the house.“Stop bugging me. I told you already to stop.” He said, looking back at the mansion’s front door before turning his back. While Natalie was in her room, she frowned as soon as she saw Chad talking on his phone from the outside. She just sighed and continued what she was doing.After a minute of preparation, Natalie went down from the front
