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

  • The Luna's Revenge   Doubt

    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

    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 Luna's Revenge   Suspecious

    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

    “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

  • The Luna's Revenge   Tell me, Norwan

    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,

  • The Luna's Revenge   The Tension

    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 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

    “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

  • The Luna's Revenge   FINALE

    The fire had nearly gone out. Just embers now, glowing faintly in the hearth like distant stars. Natalie stirred, curling closer to Norwan’s chest, her breath warm against his collarbone. Outside, the wind had quieted. The whole estate, the world even, seemed to be holding its breath.Norwan looked down at her, heart full.He thought about everything—the pain they’d walked through, the sharp words, the silences, the impossible distance that had once stretched between them. And he thought about how they had come back. Not the same, but stronger. Truer. Real.His fingers gently brushed a curl away from her cheek. She sighed in her sleep, and something in him stirred with a quiet, steady certainty.Now.He reached into his coat pocket—he’d been carrying it for weeks. Waiting. Wondering. But tonight… there was no wondering. Only clarity.He shifted carefully, reaching for the small velvet pouch. Natalie stirred as he moved, blinking herself awake with a sleepy murmur. “What time is it?”“

  • The Luna's Revenge   Family

    The old vineyard estate looked different in the spring.The ivy on the walls had crept higher, full and green, curling over the window frames like nature had decided to reclaim the stone in the softest of ways. Blossoms bloomed along the edges of the courtyard, painting the corners with blush pink and cream. Lanterns swung gently from the carved wooden posts near the entrance, catching the warm afternoon light.Norwan held Natalie’s hand as they approached the heavy oak doors. She squeezed his fingers once—not nervous, but… aware. Of what this meant. Of how far they'd come.They were here together.As one.And that wasn’t just a step forward—it was a declaration.The door swung open before they could knock.Don Grego stood there in his crisp tunic, white hair swept back, and a look in his eyes that turned immediately to warmth the second he saw them.“Natalie,” he greeted first, voice rich with pride. “You came.”“And I brought this one with me,” she said, nudging Norwan’s shoulder pl

  • The Luna's Revenge   Forgiveness and Love

    AFTER Five months.That’s how long it had been since Norwan first stood beneath the garden’s twisted archway again, with Natalie only a few paces away but heartbreaks apart.He hadn’t expected her to forgive him right away—hadn’t even dared hope. But he came back every week, sometimes with tea, sometimes with silence, sometimes with stories from the outpost or awkward attempts at old jokes she used to laugh at. Sometimes she walked away. Sometimes she listened. But slowly, something had changed.She stopped flinching when he touched her hand.She started asking him questions again—nothing deep at first, just idle curiosities. But over time, her words sharpened. So did her gaze. She stopped waiting to see if he’d break her again, and started watching to see if he’d stay.And he had. He stayed through her guarded silences, through her sharp comments and long absences. He stayed when she didn’t answer his letters. When she didn’t come to the solstice feast. When she didn’t say his name f

    The cliffs were quieter now. The wind had lost its bite, and the sky hung in a heavy kind of hush, thick with the weight of words unspoken.Norwan walked beside Drixie, his shoulders hunched, hands shoved into his coat pockets. They hadn’t spoken since leaving the garden—just the crunch of gravel underfoot and the low murmur of distant waves.He didn’t know what to say.Or maybe, he was just afraid of what would come out if he tried.Drixie glanced at him sideways, her steps slowing to match his. “So… we just gonna keep walking until the sun explodes or do you want to talk about it?”Norwan exhaled through his nose. “I don’t know what to say.”“That’s funny. You used to have so much to say when you were telling me I was overreacting about Natalie.”He winced. “Drix…”“I’m not trying to rub salt,” she said, holding up a hand. “I’m trying to remind you that you weren’t exactly a saint either.”His mouth opened, then closed.Drixie stopped walking and leaned against a lichen-covered boul

    The morning breeze was cool, laced with the scent of sea salt and honeyed flowers. Natalie sat on the stone ledge just outside the estate garden, barefoot, her wrap slipping from one shoulder. The sky was still pale with morning light, the world slow to wake—except for Norwan.He stood behind her, arms loose around her waist, chin resting lightly on her shoulder. They weren’t speaking, not really. Just… being.There was something sacred in that quiet. A peace she hadn’t expected to find so soon.“I forgot what this felt like,” he murmured, breath warm against her skin. “Just… existing with you.”“You never really existed with me,” she said, not cruelly—just honest. “You stood beside me. But you were always somewhere else.”Norwan tensed slightly, then nodded. “You’re right.”She reached up, her fingers brushing the side of his hand. “You’re here now.”“I am.”He pressed a kiss to the curve of her neck. It was soft. Unhurried. She didn’t move away.Natalie leaned back against him, and

    The wind had quieted by the time they walked back toward the estate. The path curved gently through wild grass and dune flowers, and though they walked close, their hands didn’t touch. Not yet.Natalie had always been the one who forgave too easily. Who filled the silence between heartbreak and healing with hope. But this time, she needed more than words. More than promises spoken through the haze of guilt and longing.This time, she would test him.They reached the guest suite just as the sun began casting golden light across the windows. Natalie stopped at the threshold and turned to face Norwan, studying the lines of his face.“I’m not inviting you in,” she said evenly. “Not yet.”“I wasn’t expecting you to,” Norwan replied, voice calm but rough.She nodded, her gaze searching. “I want to believe you. But belief isn’t trust. And trust…” She exhaled. “Trust is earned.”“I understand,” he said.Her eyes narrowed slightly. “Then prove it.”Norwan lifted his chin. “How?”She considered

    The wind pressed soft against them, as if the world itself was holding its breath. Natalie stayed wrapped in Norwan’s arms a moment longer, grounding herself in the truth of his presence. The weight of him. The warmth. The subtle, quiet tremble in his chest.When she finally pulled back, it was not with anger or accusation, but with a kind of clarity that only came after everything else had burned away.“I need to ask you something,” she said.Norwan nodded, gaze steady.Natalie’s voice was low, but firm. “Do you really love me? Or was Cora right?”The name hit like a stone between them. Norwan’s jaw tightened, and he exhaled, ragged and slow.“She told me you never did,” Natalie continued, heart thudding. “That I was just… a choice. Strategic. Convenient. That you only wanted me for what I represented.”His eyes didn’t leave hers. “She lied.”“You’re sure?”“I’m sure.” He stepped back just enough to frame her face gently with his hands, thumbs brushing her cheekbones. “Natalie, Cora

  • The Luna's Revenge   Win Back

    The morning after the wedding was softer than the one before. The sun rose gently through sheer curtains, birdsong drifting in through the open window of Natalie’s guest suite. The scent of saltwater hung faint in the air, and for the first time in days, Lisanne was quiet.Natalie stood in the middle of the room, staring at the small suitcase she’d packed with practiced precision. Folded dresses, her journal, the shell necklace Lynn had given her years ago, and the lavender wrap she wore to the ceremony—all tucked away with a sense of finality.She wasn’t running. At least, not in the way she once had. This time, she was simply… leaving. Ready to return home. Or something close to it.But even as she zipped the bag closed, her chest ached.He didn’t come.That thought had rooted itself in her bones, playing on a loop since last night. She hadn’t expected a grand apology. Not a scene or a speech. But part of her, the part that still dreamed, had hoped Norwan might appear. That he’d wal

  • The Luna's Revenge   Lynn's Wedding

    Lisanne’s gardens were bursting with color—sun-drenched and vibrant beneath the clear spring sky. Wild roses danced on trellises, and soft ribbons fluttered in the breeze, tied with care around every chair and bouquet. It was the kind of day stories were written about, with sunlight painting the world gold and laughter hanging in the air like music.Natalie stood among the crowd, smiling as the guests turned toward the aisle. She wasn’t dressed to stand out—simple, elegant, quiet in lavender silk—but something about her presence still drew eyes. Maybe it was the way she carried herself: not like someone trying to blend in, but like someone who had learned how to exist, even with ghosts whispering at her heels.When the music swelled, and everyone rose to their feet, Natalie’s breath caught.There, at the end of the aisle, stood Chad.His suit was a sharp slate gray, tailored to perfection, but his composure was anything but. His shoulders trembled. His lips parted like he couldn’t bel
