All Chapters of Darker Than Red: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

[LUNA]"Hey Luna, the boss is waiting. You better hurry up," B barked into the phone."Hey! You're over reacting," I heard Kylie's voice."Let her be! She's searching for someone,” I heard V's voice too."What? Who?" B intertupted."A girl named Abbie Gomez," I can hear V's teasing voice."Obviously, you know my whereabouts," I answered coldly."Who's that girl?" Kylie asked. I can hear some random noise as if they're fighting over the phone."It's the girl I met in the museum," I explained curtly. Honestly, I didn't feel like elaborating any further."I know everything Luna!" V yelled."Is that Luna?" it was J."Luna, Dad has been waiting for you. Don't keep him waiting any longer," J's voice had a stern edge to it, but I was unfazed."Yeah. Yeah. Whatever. I'm on my way there,” I replied in a disinterested tone."Yeah! Get your ass here. The Consigliere's niece has arrived. Dude, she's so hot and sexy and pretty!" B chimed in. I can imagine B drooling with the way he described James

[LUNA] I rode hard to the mansion, my heart racing in sync with the roar of my bike. I’d hoped to find Abbie at the museum, but as usual, she was as elusive as smoke. After parking, I stormed inside, my thoughts a tangled mess. V had just texted me: Ruby’s in the mansion, and B’s busy flirting with her. Normally, I wouldn’t give a damn about B's antics, but there was something about Ruby—something unnervingly familiar. She looked exactly like Abbie. The thought gnawed at me as I stepped into the room. There they were, Ruby and B, sitting way too close on the couch. My jaw tightened involuntarily at the sight. V spotted me first, waving me over. As Ruby and B turned their heads toward me, my eyes locked onto hers. Ruby’s smile was sweet, but I didn’t smile back. Instead, I strode over to where V and Kylie lounged. Kylie jumped up, pulling me into a hug that quickly turned into a kiss—a kiss I didn’t hesitate to return, especially when I saw J’s eyes burning with jealousy. A smirk tu

[LUNA]As soon as Joy's email hit my inbox, I checked the address. Thirty minutes away, not bad. I grabbed my helmet, fired up my Harley, and hit the road. It was a quiet Sunday, the kind where most people laze around. But not me—I had a mission. I know Mia wouldn’t be working today, so there was a chance I’d catch her.I pulled up to the house—not a mansion, just a sleek, modern minimalist design with a lawn dotted by vibrant flowers. I parked, killing the engine, and strode up to the gate. One ring. Nothing. A minute passed, and I pressed the bell again, twice this time. Finally, the door opened, and out stepped Mia Gomez, looking like she’d seen a ghost."Uh, hi," I said, trying to smooth over the awkwardness with a smile.Mia didn’t say a word. Just stared. Eyes wide, mouth hanging open. Was she even breathing? I waved my hand in front of her face. “Are you Mia Gomez?" I asked, trying to shake her from whatever trance she was in. She blinked a few times before her voice caught up

[LUNA] After Mia Gomez left, I floored the gas back to the mansion, gripping the throttle tighter with every passing thought of Abbie. Two months gone, and still no trace of her. The more I searched, the deeper my frustration ran. Why did it bother me so much? We barely exchanged words the last time we met, but here I was, feeling some inexplicable pull that I couldn’t shake off. It wasn't just about finding her—there was something else. Something I couldn’t name, and it annoyed the hell out of me. When I arrived, B and V were already lounging on the couch, beers in hand. They waved me over with lazy grins, as if the world wasn’t caving in around me. “Hey, Luna! Come join the party,” V smirked, tossing me a beer. I caught it mid-air, sighing as I plopped down beside them. “You’ve been tense lately,” V remarked, eyeing me. “Still no sign of Abbie Gomez, huh?” B chimed in, raising an eyebrow. “Two months is a long time.” “Her sister confirmed it. She’s missing,” I said, takin

[LUNA]I managed to drag Kylie out of my room, my shirt still hanging half-open, but I didn’t care. I shot a glare at B and V, who had been lingering by the door, clearly eavesdropping. They scrambled back, disappearing downstairs like startled bats."Let go of me!" Kylie’s voice rang out, sharp and desperate. I released her arm but swiftly shut the door behind me, locking Ruby inside. I couldn’t risk another attack.Kylie’s breath hitched as she stared at me, her eyes flicking to my exposed chest. I could see the confusion and hurt warring on her face."Why?" Her voice cracked, barely more than a whisper."Why what?" I asked, already dreading the answer, my brows furrowed."Why are you doing this to me?" Her words came out strangled, as if she was trying to hold back more than just tears.I sighed, rubbing my temple. "Kylie, it’s not like you didn’t know. You knew I was fucking other girls.""Yeah," she snapped, her voice trembling, "but in your room? The room you never let me into?"
