Hi, everyone, I know you all have been waiting for an update. I have not been feeling too well and have been preoccupied with too much school work. I need to visit my doctor for a checkup and get treated. please I hope you all can bear with me. Thank you 🙏."Agent Luna, thank goodness you are finally here. We are in a tight situation right now. Please, we need you to dissolve the matter outside before the General arrives," a comrade from Luna's squad said.Luna strode over to the commotion happening outside."What is going on here?!" she yelled at the top of her voice and everyone went silent."You there," she pointed at one of them. "What's the problem?" she questioned, narrowing her eyes in an intimidating way.The comrade lady shuddered under her menacing gaze. Without hesitation, she narrated the situation to her."Ma, This woman keeps insisting to see the General. According to her, she has an affair with the General, which we all know is impossible!" Luna looked at the woman af
Hi lovelies, I am so sick right now and barely able to do a thing. But I can't leave you guys hanging. Happy reading.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••Luna quickened her steps as she trudged through the hallway. She was aware of the person following her behind.Once she reached the end of the hall, she took a turn and waited for her stalker.The moment he cornered the same way she had gone through, Luna grabbed him by his shirt. But her stalker was swift enough to calculate her move, trapping against the wall.She gasped at the force he used to pin her on the wall.“Don't move, I won't hurt you," her stalker breathed against her ear. She jolted from his deep voice that sent a shiver down her spine.Just the touch of his strong hands made her feel weak on her knees. The hot feeling from before raptured inside her like a wild fire set ablaze.“What do you want from me?" she asked, getting overwhelmed by their position. Her back was pressed against his belt. Sh
The night went slower than expected, Luna had to endure the long boring event while standing by her husband's side.Each time she looked up to the left side of the ballroom, she got a glimpse of the man she had talked to earlier.He had a woman by his side and she wondered if she was the person he had talked about.Whenever he noticed her gaze on him, she would quickly look away to avoid being caught.At midnight, the ball came to an end. Luna and Scott went back to their mansion located at the end of the military base. Since he was a General, A private house was gifted to him by his father.Once they got back to their house, Luna exited the car first and headed straight into the house. Scott followed her behind but stopped when she reached her room door. "Let's call it a night," she muttered, flashing a slight smile that didn't reach her eyes."Good night, agent Luna." He said, presuming that she was exhausted and decided to let her rest for the rest of the night.Luna entered her
The next morning, Luna woke up late. She rushed out of her bed and dressed up for her morning run.Pulling her hair up in a loose ponytail, she began to jog through the morning cold dew.She ran towards the mountain road, determined to finish her run before breakfast.As she jogged up to a distance, she felt someone's presence behind her. She turned hoping to see who it was but found no one.“Good Morning, love." A male voice muttered, falling by her side as she jogged.Luna missed a foot, startled by his sudden appearance and almost hit the ground if he didn't catch her on time.“Be careful, missy. You might not be lucky next time," he said, holding tight with his strong hands.“Rowan? What are you doing here?" She asked, surprised to see him.“Came out for a run. I saw from the other side and decided to join you. Hope you don't mind me intruding your space," he said with a smile.“No, I don't. Us meeting out here is a coincidence." She detached herself from his grip that burned her
Luna reluctantly stepped into her room. She ignored her husband's brooding anger and went into her bathroom for a quick shower.Scott waited even though he was angry, he gave her the respect and privacy she deserved.After a few minutes, she was done bathing. She came out in a white robe, her hair dripping wet against the marble floor.“You were saying something?" Luna dryly muttered. She was totally disinterested in what he wanted to say to her. She coldly stared at him, waiting for him to repeat his growling question.“Has something caught your tongue? speak up dear husband. What is your anger about?" She taunted him.Scott felt something was off with his wife's mannerisms. Naturally, she would have apologized to him and explained her whereabouts. But she did the exact opposite of what he expected.“Well, since you won't talk first, I will. My medicine, you had them altered, Why?" she asked.She went over to her drawer and pulled out the bottle of medicine he had altered.“You said
Luna gave him all her attention as he began to explain what had happened to her in the past. He started off by giving her a cup of black tea to calm her nerves down before he commenced his narration.“Seven years ago, you joined the military and got recruited to my team. Then I was your team leader. You were so eager about the military which wasn't something everyone looked forward to. I noticed how excited you got over a little mission and how you were determined to win every single one of them. You were like an untouchable star, Luna. However, things started to fall apart when you revealed your hacking skills to the military tech team. You were able to hack a strong firewall that they had been struggling for months to break. But just a simple click by you made everything we had planned possible. Everyone started to admire you. But things became worse for you. Each time there was a hacking task, you were called up to handle it. Then, there came the Rwanda rescue, the very mission t
Attention! Attention!! Attention!!!! read the author's note for vital information!!!! The next day, before Gilbert woke up, Noah had snuck out of their unit. Rowan had not come back to the unit last night and he found it difficult to sleep without his Dad. He strode down the hallway, hiding at a corner each time he saw a soldier. While roaming the long quiet hallway, he explored some units, checking to find his Dad in any of them. After he checked the rooms for an hour, he tiredly sat on the cold floor, his hands on his belly as it grumbled loud in the corridor. Noah hadn't eaten breakfast yet and all the walking around had drained his energy. He squat on the ground, hoping that his uncle, Gilbert will come find him anything soon. However, three hours went by and no one had found him. Unable to bear the pain that churned his stomach from the wickedness of starvation, he began to cry to alert others of his presence. Luckily for him, two female soldiers used the same
I am sorry guys, I will be absent from 3rd to 13th March. My law exams are starting on Monday. Wish me luck.•••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••After Rowan and Noah returned to their units, Gilbert was relieved of the weight he had on his shoulder.Little Noah felt so sorry for causing him trouble and went on to apologize,“I am sorry Uncle Gil. I won't cause you any trouble anymore." Little Noah crossed his heart.“It's alright, Noah. You being safe is all that matters." He ruffled his hair gently then turned his attention to Rowan who has been brooding since he came into the room.“May I ask what is bothering you?" Gilbert moved over to his side while Noah sat in front of them, playing with his toys that were littered everywhere.“She doesn't remember him," Rowan said , his voice low and edgy.“It's not her fault. We don't know what must have happened to her over the years. She is just living her life as she believes it to be. The fact that she changed her name fro
Astrid woke up the next day wrapped in her husband's arms. They were clued to each other, skin to skin, under the sheets. She moves her upper body against him and uses her elbow as support on his chest. While he was asleep, observed his prince-like features and trailed her fingers on his face until she got to his lips.Memories of how his lips work on her body last night pulled in. She reddened immediately from the thought and decided to move away from him for her safety.But it was already too late, her little movements had woken him up. His hands moved around her waist keeping her in place on top of him.“Good morning, baby," he mumbled with a deep raspy voice. Her face flushed up and he chuckled loving the effect he had on her.“Um... good morning." Her hands rushed up to her face, embarrassed by how audacious she had been last night.Rowan made an attempt to remove her hands but she held onto tight and continued to hide her face.“Why wouldn't you let me see your face, baby?" He
“Let me get this straight. Rowan asked you to remarry him and you said no but then had sex with him," Rose summarized Astrid's story. They were at a spa house receiving a full body massage and facial treatment. Astrid hummed in response, enjoying the relaxing touch of her masseuse's hands.“Why? You should have just said yes. How long are you going to keep playing tag with him? That's frustrating you know," Rose said, gasping in relief after her masseuse hit a stress point on her body.Astrid had regained most of her memories about her best friend. It was hard to forget someone as cheerful and sunshine-like like Rose. She talked along, clung to Astrid like a Velcro strap whenever she wasn't indulged by Rowan or entertained by her fiance, Nelson. So it was easy to remember her faster than everyone else.“I just want him to suffer a little. He said he hurt me in the past. So he should get a taste of his own medicine," Astrid expressed her intention which Rose disapproved.“That was a
As days passed, Astrid began to adapt to her surroundings. She enjoyed spending time with those around her most especially, her dear husband.He made her happy. These triggered some of her memories to return. Although they were still hazy, she could remember names. However, his name didn't seem to bring good memories to her. Most of what she could remember was her crying and feeling desperate for his attention. During those times she had those flashbacks, she distanced herself from him.She didn't understand why she would feel horrible towards someone who she loved. The thought of being betrayed again frightened her. She wanted to be with Rowan as long as possible. So instead of prying and questioning her taunting memories, she decided to bury it deep in her heart.After all he loves her and that's what matters. She thought that if she pushed the bitter memories of her past behind she would be able to live happily with him.But then, memories like that were hard to forget. “My love.
Astrid cracked up when she noticed Delilah had turned pale from her threat. She couldn't believe that she would react to it thoughtfully.“I am sorry Doc," she said, laughing in between. “What's funny?" Delilah asked still shaken from her threat.“It was a joke. I am not a horrible person to do such a thing to my doctor. You see I received treatment from a doctor who toyed with my brain, switched my medication, and made me think I was someone. I am only being cautious that the same thing won't repeat itself. Please forgive me if I startled you," Astrid muttered with an apologetic smile. She didn't mean to scare the young doctor.But then she didn't want to be fooled by anyone again. She wants to get better, heal from her wounds, learn about her husband again, and remember her memories.Doctor Delilah let out a relieved laugh feeling embarrassed that she had fallen for her patient's prank. She brushed her hair behind her ear and placed the clipboard she was holding on the mini tea tab
"Welcome, Mrs. ...um." Astrid's therapist stared at her patient's chart. She was confused about how to address Astrid since she had two last names. Rowan and Astrid had not renewed their vows after they annulled their divorce prior to the accident. Rowan had plans of rectifying that later. But for now, he wanted Astrid to feel comfortable with him and others. Seeing her struggle with the names, Astrid placed her hand on the clipboard and gently pulled it down."Call me Astrid instead," She said, easing the doctor's burden.The doctor smiled at her and offered her a seat on her fluffy white sofa. Astrid noticed the white interior design in her office especially the russian poreclain dolls that sat on a stair-like shelf."I hope you don't mind the plain colour of my office. I like the colour white," the Doctor muttered when she noticed Astrid's roaming eyes."Not at all. It's simple and lovely." She smiled."Okay, would you like a cup of tea or coffee?" The doctor asked, walking over
Traveling back to the city was one thing and relating with the people you had forgotten was a whole lot for Astrid. She got to meet her parents who couldn't thank Rowan enough for bringing her home. They shared memories with her, took her to their favorite family spots and called her best friends over. Rose and Nelson hovered around her everyday they came to visit, they never left her and made sure she was comfortable. Chef Gladine was overwhelmed to have her back and prepared all kinds of dishes to welcome her. Everything seemed new to her but they made her feel at ease especially Rowan and Noah who were at her beck and call. “No, Mommy. That's not how to make my sandwich. You put the tomatoes first before the Vegetables, I like it that way," Noah instructed, showing her how he liked his sandwich to be made. “Don't put pressure on your Mommy, Noah," Rowan cautioned as he fried some eggs and bacon for breakfast. He had an apron tied around his waist, giving him a sexy daddy appear
Hi, guys. From this chapter, Luna will be addressed by her real name, Astrid. Thank you to all of you who have been following my book diligently. Thank you. I have been overwhelmed with a lot of things happening in my life recently. Please, I need your supernatural motivational power so that I can write this book up to 100k words and publish it on A****n, then start with book two, guys.Astrid was furious, disturbed by the truth she had just learned. The reason for \Scott's actions remained unknown to her. For two good years, the life she was living was a lie. Her memories were still hazy, but then she felt safe around Rowan, connected to him more than she had been with Scott.Especially with the little child sleeping in her arms. They were on the road, driving away from the base. Noah was excited to know that she was leaving with them. Rowan tried not to ask her questions about the situation. He knew she had confronted Scott because he had orchestrated it himself, used Victoria to rev
CHAPTER 85Everything was getting sick and tiring for Luna to bear. She didn't even know who to believe in anymore.She couldn't fathom the reason why it was so hard for her to live without getting sabotaged, bullied, or lied to.After she returned from her morning exercise, she went on to ask her doctor about her health and pressured him for answers.“Please forgive me, Miss Everhart. I tried to take him out of it. But he refused and threatened to harm my family if I didn't comply," the doctor begged, but Luna paid no heed to his cries.She stared at the result she was holding, squeezing a part of it with rage.“You don't deserve to be a doctor. Lying to your patient and falsifying her medication just because of your selfish interest," she muttered through gritted teeth.She trusted him with her health and believed his lies but got stabbed in the back.“You just ruined a person's life. So remember that I will destroy yours, Doctor," She threatened before walking out of his office.Af
Panting through the woods, Luna ran her morning laps. The sun was yet to rise, and the morning breeze was still chilly and moist. Most of the mountain parts were covered in mist. However, the dewy atmosphere was clearer than her foggy brain. After that intense make-out session with Rowan yesterday, her mind refused to return to the present. She kept reliving the hot sensation of his hands on her body, his blazing kisses, and his adoring words. She was overwhelmed and confused about what to believe.Two men with different personalities. One is a liar, and the other is unpredictable.She couldn't think of the words to describe Rowan. All that she could think of was how he made her feel. Which felt so wrong. She shouldn't feel that way, not with a man, not her husband. But the question is, who exactly is her husband?Taking a break against a boulder, she reached for her water bottle strapped to her joggers but found nothing. She let out a hiss, cussing under her breath for being absent-mi
