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

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.

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
Bustling with happiness and excitement, Astrid prepared her husband's favorite snack. She was informed this morning about his return from the two months business trip he went on.Her heart was filled with melody as she swayed her hips to the rhythm of the song she was humming.It was still seven in the morning and the workers were beginning to arrive for work.The first to return was the head chef, she was surprised to see the madam in the kitchen joyfully preparing a snack.Once Astrid noticed her presence, she turned around with a beautiful smile. "Good morning, chef Gladline," she greeted, her voice soft as a Harp . The elderly woman felt blessed by her pretty smile and responded to her greeting happily."Good morning, madam.""Oh, Chef Gladline, how many times have I told you not to call me madam? Just say my name," Astrid playfully reminded her and the chef took corrections.She continued with her cooking with joy, and letting the chef help her in the preparation. Astrid was ma
Once it was evening, Astrid summoned all the workers and dismissed them early for the day. They were grateful to her and wished her a good time with her husband.After they left, She went into the kitchen and prepared his favorite dish. She had a feeling that her husband would be back anytime soon.However, she had no idea what was waiting for her ahead.She carefully prepared for him and made sure that everything was in check. Her husband was particularly strict about cleanliness and order.A little dust could change his mood and make him ignore her for days.Meanwhile, Rowan, the coldest domineering CEO of the Wade group, sat at the back of his car with a little child in between him and a fair woman.He had never thought he would meet the woman he once loved at the airport with his own child.After his private jet landed in Los Angeles, he thought of going back to his grandmother's house first before returning home. But he saw her, standing by the exit of the airport. The very woma
The next morning, Astrid woke up feeling horrible and weak. She was unable to get a wink of sleep after hearing her husband's words last night.She got up early as she always did whatever he was around just to prepare his breakfast. Although, he employed a chef to handle his meals, Astrid wanted to be the one making his meals. After taking cooking classes for a month, she began to take charge of what he ate.Beaming with happiness that he always ate her food, she got the energy to leave her bed and prepare for the day.However, her smile was wiped off when she saw Victoria in her kitchen."Good morning," she greeted with a sly smile that infuriated Astrid."What do you think you are doing?!" Astrid questioned her, her voice now on a high tempo.She walked up to Victoria, and snatched the bowl of eggs she was holding and made a horrible mess."Did I not tell you to let me take care of you? You should know your boundaries Miss Victoria," Astrid cautioned her.Even though her husband we
"I want a divorce." Astrid presented her husband with the document first thing in the morning. She was done with enduring his cold treatment towards her and his stupid decision to bring back his childhood sweetheart into their home.Rowan looked at the document with a frown on his face as he saw no reason why she would bring up such a matter."What do you mean by a divorce?" He questioned her with a stern voice. But Astrid was not having it with him."Are you deaf or something? This is our divorce papers. All you have to do is sign the document and you can marry your ex-girlfriend," Astrid raised her voice at him for the first time and he was taken aback by her sudden change."How can you say such a thing..." Victoria pretended to be hurt but Astrid glared at her."Oh shut up and stop with your drama. I know that you want my husband and I am delightfully handing him over to you," Astrid said. She was flaring with anger and pain as she uttered those words."Astrid!" Her husband thunder

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
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
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
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
The General led Rowan into his office, offered him tea which refused because he never consumed anything not made by his wife, Astrid or chef Gladine."Let's make things clear before anything else," the general said, pouring himself a glass of wine. He didn't bother to offer some to Rowan since he refused his tea. The General was petty when it came to little things like this. But only to others except his beloved wife, Astrid's cousin."I only granted your enrollment because my wife wanted it. She is the only reason why I am being of help to you. However, if you make things get out of hand, I will not hesitate to send you our of the base. Avoid the General Scott at all cost. I am not a fan of his. So, try not to get caught while getting back your wife," he said with a stern voice.Rowan looked at him unbothered about what he had just told him. He readjusted his sleeves and snatched the General's bottle of wine."You have nothing to worry about in my business. As for the scum who kidna
