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
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
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. Astri
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 ve
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
Astrid's secret identity as the mysterious business Guru made countless headlines. A lot of companies reached out to her for collaborations and interviews, but she kindly declined them as she had trusted partners who supported her company to move forward.She was fully aware of the pressure that would follow her reveal in society, but she didn't care anymore as she was no longer the timid and gullible Mrs. Wade, who had no voice of her own.In fact, she wanted to rub it on her ex-husband's face that he had lost a diamond while chasing after a rusty gold.She made a promise to herself that she would never allow anyone to push her around again. As for love, no man would ever be worthy of her affection again.Astrid's secretary, Nelson, walked into her large office holding a list of things she had asked him to research. “Ms. President, I have gotten all the names you requested for. Just as you said, they are all involved in sharp practices," he informed her, and she took note of them.“
Once it was evening, Astrid's secretary drove her back to her family's main house. She had gotten a call from her Mom earlier to come home for dinner. She needed a break as well from the emotional rollercoaster she had escaped from.After her divorce with Rowan, she felt free from the pressuring grip that held her down on the Wade family. Rowan was no good for her, he had neglected her feelings for years and brought his ex to their home regardless of her position as his wife. But she had seen to the end of such treatment by leaving her cold hearted husband.She freely slammed the door of her car and handed the keys to her parents' favorite butler, Mr. Williams. "Welcome home, young Miss. It is so good to see you," he said with a compassionate glint in his eyes. Aside from being her parents Butler and the main housekeeper, he was her second father who took care of her throughout her childhood. He had a daughter the same age as Astrid who was no other than her best friend, Rose."Than

The next day, the sky poured down its shower as a morning greeting to everyone at the base. Everything has to pause for the time being due to the heavy rain. While some who could stand the heavy pour, went on their usual morning run. Luna was still stuck in her bed but not asleep. She couldn't even blink an eye last night after what happened between her and Scott or Rowan. The both men flooded her thoughts, confusing her with their unfamiliar behavior. First, Rowan acted like he knew her more than anyone. The way he teased her and made her feel so attracted to him was something she could not understand. Second, Scott is her husband, she could feel his possessiveness over her but not in his words. Whenever she was with him, she felt nothing but uneasy. But doesn't that mean that she feels something for him as well?All these thoughts pondered her brain, making it impossible for her to get a wink of sleep.As she tries to clear off her clouded mind and utilize the opportunity of the
I am back guys, done with my exams now constant updates. Hooray!!!!. •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••’He is so unbelievable!!!' Luna screamed in her mind as she stomped down the hallway. Her face down to her neck went after he said those words to her. She was heading down to her husband's office.She couldn't even spend another second with him. Not because she was embarrassed but to prevent herself from doing the unacceptable.Rowan's words were too tempting for her and she was in every ounce attracted to him.This confused her, she should only be attracted to her husband and no one else.As she approached her husband's office door, she received numerous salutes from other soldiers lower than her rank.In front of his office door stood his right hand-man, lieutenant Kai. She stopped before him expecting him to open the door for her to go. But he didn't, instead he stood with a stern face and looked ahead.Luna threw him a questioning glare that sent chills down
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
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
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
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
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
