"What the heck is wrong with you?" Astrid barked at Rowan pushing him away from Scott.

After witnessing the brutal punch Rowan landed on Scott's face, she quickly unclipped the seatbelt holding her back with a speed that she didn't believe she had.

Scott bent over to the ground, holding his bleeding nose as he groaned in pain.

"Why would you hit him like that? Are you out of your mind?!" Astrid yelled furiously, hitting Rowan's chest as she ranted.

"I should be the one asking you questions! Why would a married woman be with another man and kiss right before her husband's eyes?!" He roared, grabbing Astrid's arm roughly.

"You are crazy! I guess you are too mental to remember that we are divorced, you animal!" Astrid screamed back.

"Divorced? just because I let you mess around as you wished doesn't mean that you can dive into another man's arms. You think we are divorced?" he scoffed as she glared at him. "You must be really stupid to think that I would sign those pathetic papers and s

    "Date me." Scott's words echoed in her mind, stunning her at most. she didn't think that he would see her in such like. In a romantic way, yet again, she has failed to notice the things around her."I... can't...""Think about it before you answer. I am not in a rush, as long as you get what you want, I won't mind being used," he said, his eyes clear with honesty."Scott, I don't think I want to do that to you. If I use you just to get back at my ex, it will only hurt you in the end because I can't stay by your side," She muttered, hurting him with her words.He knew this would be her answer but he was taking the chance. Even though it would cause him pain in the future."Just think of it as me helping you. I don't mind, I will bear the consequences later," he said, his voice desperate for acknowledgement.The way his heart raced in his chest, hoping that Astrid would accept his offer. Even if it was for a short while, at least he gets to be by her side. "If that is what you want the

    Sometimes, things are not always meant to be. Even if it means hurting someone just to prevent it from happening. And that was what Astrid had done. She moved away from Scott, regretting her decision to engage him when deep down, she was still hurting and yet to heal."I am sorry, Scott. But I don't think we can walk out. What happened between us will be saved in my heart. Just act like nothing ever happened between us," she coldly said, getting up to leave but he grabbed her hand and stopped her from taking another step."How am I supposed to act like nothing happened between us, Astrid? I just gave you the permission to use me as you want.""Even if it's to get back to my ex?" "Yes.""No, that's what I cannot do. I am not selfish and inconsiderate, Scott. I know what it feels like not to be loved back by the person you cherish the most. How can I make someone else suffer the same thing I passed through, knowing how deep it hurts?. I won't do that to you, never. Let's just be frien

    Nothing could compare to the pain Astrid felt deep in her chest. It was as if her heart was contracting against her chest each time Rowan bit her, claiming every part of her body with his vicious marks.The worst part of all was he never listened not even to her pleas."I am going to hurt you," he muttered with a low voice.Astrid looked away from him, giving up on begging him because he would never listen."Look at me," he commended. But she refused, keeping her head turned and eyes closed."Look at me for damn sake!" He roared, digging his nails into her skin."So what? I can watch you hurt me? I will never forgive you, Rowan. Get on with what you want to do. I don't care anymore," she muttered, giving up on her fight. She hardened her heart and glared at him with a spiteful gaze in her eyes.Rowan closed his eyes, regretting his behavior towards. He just couldn't accept the idea of her being with someone else. "You don't mean that," he mumbled, his creased brows softened, visibly

He growled, terrifying the poor lawyer to death."but I have already sent the document to the magistrate court...""Do you not like your job anymore? How dare you send those documents without informing me? If you don't want to face my wrath, you better find a means to withdraw the grant," he coldly said before walking out of the lawyer's office.He was extremely furious that Astrid had taken matters into her hands without confronting him properly.

    It has been a week since Astrid encountered Rowan. After their nerve-wrecking argument, Rowan steered out of her way. There was no sign of him in the mansion he had locked her in. Astrid felt dejected and depressed from everything he was doing to her.She even went ahead to go on a hunger strike. If he wasn't going to show up and take responsibility for what he has done, then she would do the unforgivable."Young Miss, please let us in. Mr. Wade will kick us out if he finds out that you starved yourself for a week," A maid complained, banging at Astrid's door.Rowan had left her and some other maids in charge of Astrid's welfare until he came back. But none of them were finding it easy to carry out their jobs. Astrid decided to be a thorn to them just to get back at Rowan.She knows he would panic if he found out that she starved for a week. And she plans to put the blame on him. However, her little protest was not an easy one. She could barely lift her finger let alone stand up an

    The cold silence of the night added to the intense atmosphere created by Rowan and Astrid. They were both seated, facing each other across a large s-shaped dining table.Neither of them wanted to talk, but their eyes held so many questions that needed to be answered.After a short while, when Astrid got up to leave, He decided to break the silence between them. "Please, sit down.""Please? That does not sound like you." "Will you like it if I had asked harshly?""That will depend on how you say it."Rowan narrowed his eyes straight at her as they darkened. "Sit down, Astrid." He commanded with a cold voice."That's better." Astrid sat back on her chair and looked straight at him.He got up from where he sat, walked over to the side she was sitting, pulled out a chair beside her and sat down. She stared at him confused, questioning his behavior with her gaze."Don't just look at me, say something if you want to. I won't bite you if you do," Rowan said, then abruptly pulled her chair

    "WHAT! No, I don't want to share a bed with you." Astrid protested but he ignored her tantrums and embraced her, covering the sheets on her bed over their body."I promise I won't touch you or do anything inappropriate as you say," he muttered trying to convince her to agree to his idea."You already DID! How am I supposed to trust you the second time? Get out of my bed!" She raised her voice at him adamant about her choice.Rowan slightly rolled his eyes and sighed. He wished Astrid wouldn't be so stubborn. All he wanted was to lay beside her and embrace the emotions that had been erupting within him."Be quiet, Astrid." He declared with a cold voice."Now you are getting mad at me? Wow..." Astrid said in surprise but her remaining words were swallowed when he kissed her."I thought you said you won't do anything inappropriate to me.""Yes, I did. But each time you complain, I will kiss you.""You, pathological liar..." He kissed."Butter head." Another kiss."Tyrant." He trailed kis

    After hearing those words from Astrid's lips, Rowan threw all caution out of the window and kissed her like it was his last.She matched his pace, hurriedly working her hands on the button of his shirt. He let her undress him, kiss and bite every part of his body she wanted to leave a mark on. Once they were out of their clothes, Astrid wrapped her hands around his neck pulling him down to her body until their chests were merged.She let out a breathy gasp as Rowan entered inside her, filling her with his largeness and length."You are so big," she moaned, digging her nails into the flesh of his back as he moved in deeper."I know. And you have the right hole for me." he muttered inside her mouth.Astrid has always known that he was large but didn't think it was this huge. The first time they had sex, Rowan didn't try much or even have interest in her then, because he didn't fill her just the way he was doing now.When he began to thrust his hips in and out of her, Astrid felt like h

    “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.

    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

    A groan escaped from Rowan's throat as Luna kissed him. Their devastating attraction for each other finally played out as they merged their lips. Their tongues played a game of tag, deepening their kiss to a fiery intensity that burned their senses.Luna fought against her control, but each time Rowan struck his fingers on her bare back, an uncontrollable fire ignited within her, causing her to desire more of him."This is wrong." She muttered breathlessly as she kissed him hard, bringing her body forward."No, love. "You are only reclaiming what rightfully belongs to you," Rowan mumbled inside her mouth, kissing her fiercely as his life depended on it.It had been so long since he last tasted her and now that they were acting on their desires, he dared not to miss the opportunity. He slipped his hands under her black top, caressing her skin with a needy urge to rip the cloth off her body.Thrilled by his sensual touch, Luna leaned forward, wanting more of his fiery hands. She gaped as
