CHAPTER 56

"Luna, this should be the last time you go out drinking. The next time something like this happens, I’m going to kill you." With a resentful huff, Preston carried Luna in his arms, while Mylo and Delmor stifled their laughter behind their hands. Their friend had definitely married a woman that was one of a kind.Out of the teahouse, Preston roughly dumped Luna onto the back seat. He was about to close the door, but she started acting out again, leaving Preston no choice but to sit in the back with her."Sit properly!" he ordered. In the driver’s seat, Ethan was surprised. "Drive!" Preston snapped coldly when he caught the driver looking back at them.As soon as the car started moving, Luna felt sick. She felt suffocated. In a desperate attempt to feel better, she raised her hand to open the window for a breath of fresh air."Do you have a death wish or what?" Preston scolded and pulled her back.Luna lost the little balance she had and fell onto Preston's lap. Then, she looked up at h

She then made some changes to the magnolia-shaped brooch’s design before sending it to the jeweller with a request to finish it as quickly as possible.Since she was unable to make it due to her current situation, she had someone else do it for her. Next, Luna set about picking out an outfit to wear to Claudia’s birthday party.After much deliberation, she settled on a dress in a lovely pastel purple with a shade that was just right—not too dull, yet not too vibrant.Unbeknownst to her, Bria was standing guard outside the bedroom as she did some tidying up. “Fuck,” Bria muttered. “What a shame to see such a lovely dress on someone with a hideous face.”Afterward, Luna went to the bathroom to take a shower. Her body reeked from not having been washed since the day before. As she closed the door to the bathroom, Bria pulled out a pair of scissors from her pocket. She took a quick look around, tiptoed into the bedroom, and then stealthily snipped holes in the dress.Half an hour later, L

CHAPTER 33

“Take this card. You can buy a new dress for yourself tomorrow. Can you go to bed now?”Luna picked up the card and observed it thoroughly with a frown. It was a gold card. Impressive. Watching her observe the card so much, Preston sneered inwardly.Now, he understood why she did all this. She played the victim just to get some money.“It's really generous of you to give me a gold card. You should hold on to it though. I may not be wealthy, but I won't ask anyone for money. I’m not mending this dress because I can’t afford one, but because I have never worn it before. I won’t let it go to waste.”After weighing the card in her hand for another second, Luna pushed it back towards Preston who was frowning.That was the last thing he expected to happen. Clearly caught off guard, he angrily walked away saying, “The money in there is just too small to satisfy you, is it not?”The next second, the room was filled with lights, illuminating the room.Luna furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.“

“What's the scent of your shower gel? It smells really nice.” Preston exposed his thought as he thought of the pink bottles in the bathroom that he never bothered to look at until today.Luna blinked several times at him, amazed by the man in front of her. He was holding her back because her shower gel smelled nice?“I’ve always used papaya-flavored shower gel. You can use it too if you want. The bottle is big enough for two to use,” she answered despite her dismay.Papaya-flavored shower gel cleansed the skin and had a good emollient effect on the skin. Coupled with its delicate fragrance, Luna couldn't help but fall in love with it.“If that’s all, we should head to bed,” Luna said, wondering why he was still holding onto her. As if to answer her question, Preston suddenly pulled her closer, staring so intently at her that Luna became uncomfortable.Slowly, his free hand moved to her ear and trailed down its base, towards the line of her neck. It itched a little, and her legs sudde

Left alone in the dark, Preston held out his hand as if to grab her, then brought it back and let it fall to his side. Early in the morning, Bria stopped under the staircase before looking around. She then turned to Rhea, who was dressed quite extravagantly. “Miss Evans, I’ve ruined Luna’s dress like you told me to. Seriously, I don’t know where that hideous woman got the idea that she'd fit in at the party.” Bria’s words did nothing to improve Rhea’s mood at all. The ruination of the dress was only a short-term relief from the embarrassment Luna had caused her earlier in the clothing store. Bria was right, though. Luna did not have the qualifications to attend the birthday party. The thought of the woman linking arms with Preston with a smirk on her face and her head held high as they entered the venue made Rhea seethe in anger. A moment later, Rhea’s irritated eyes landed on Celeste, who was sipping her tea. She began formulating a strategy in her head and approached th

Maintaining her composure, Celeste added, “She can’t attend the party no matter what, Preston. You know very well that not only members of the Knight family but also influential members of the business and political communities will be there. If she shows up, it'll look like we’ve accepted her into the family.”Preston leaned back on the sofa and lowered his head. He then said carefully, “The public is already aware that we got married. Why does it matter whether she attends the party or not?”The thought of their marriage being made public cast a gloom over Celeste’s features. She nearly passed out from fury when she learned of the details.Whoever leaked that information definitely wanted to ruin her son’s reputation.“That’s not the same. Your marriage was leaked by someone who had ill intentions toward you. I'll never accept that woman as my daughter-in-law, but everyone will think otherwise if she shows up at the party,” Celeste stated.Preston's jaw grew tense, but he remained s

Before long, she came up with another solution as she recalled seeing the impressive dragon-shaped ring Preston wore on his left index finger. That ring was a symbol of status and power.She could borrow the ring and use it just to get into the party. Of course, she would return as soon as it was over. That could work.Now, she just had to get to the black box that was inside the drawer next to the bed.That was where he kept the ring.This time, Luna’s steps were even lighter as she made her way back to the sofa in the dark and took her phone. She slowly walked to the bedside table which was unfortunately too close to Preston.Luna squatted down with bated breath. Inch by inch, she pulled open the drawer, praying to the heavens that it wouldn’t make a sound. Just then, the man on the bed suddenly turned over. Luna froze, her eyes as wide as saucers.She stayed in that position for a moment, breath withheld, until the room was completely silent once again. She released the breath she

CHAPTER 38

Suddenly, Preston's face went blank as his eyes slid downward, fixating on something, and his enraged look faded.Luna’s brows furrowed in confusion. What was he looking at? Why was he not angry anymore? She jerked herself upright and followed his gaze.Her eyes widened when she caught sight of her chest. What in the world happened?It seemed that one of the buttons on her pajama top had come undone.The stark contrast between her red bra and her pale skin was quite a captivating sight. In her panic, Luna let out a squeal.“Let me go! Don’t look at me! Hey, didn’t you hear me? Quit staring at me!” Luna struggled to get away from him, but Preston was too strong, and she failed to break free.Preston felt his throat go dry as he stared at the alluring sight before him. The woman had really climbed into his bed in the middle of the night with the button of her top undone, making it clear how desperate she was for a man’s touch.“Are you really that desperate that you crawled into my be

CHAPTER 39

Luna sat in the living room, busily peeling fruit and preparing breakfast. A poor night’s sleep had left her with dark circles under her eyes, prompting her to replenish herself with vitamins.Meanwhile, Preston sat silently on the sofa, legs crossed, clad in his grey suit trousers.Luna noticed his gaze lingering on her and she blushed. When she looked his way, she found him regarding her with a strange intensity.Unsettled, Luna shifted awkwardly in her seat and continued her task, but his stare remained. He had been observing her for a while, and showed no signs of stopping. Setting her fruit knife aside, Luna rubbed her temples in frustration, wondering what was so intriguing about her to Preston.Memories from the previous night flooded her mind—his firm grip on her hands, the weight of his body against hers, and his smoldering gaze that made Luna feel exposed and vulnerable. Recalling the humiliation made her cheeks flush.Preston frowned, sensing Luna was lost in thought. He sn

CHAPTER 40

Gianna ground her teeth in vexation, glaring at the two imposing bodyguards. Her face twisted with rage, she yelled obscenities in the direction of the upper floor.“How dare you, you conniving wench! Refusing such a minor favor! You just wait, I won’t let this go.” Having vented her frustration, Gianna angrily snatched her bag and stormed out. Once Gianna was gone, Luna immediately turned back and descended the stairs.She walked around the courtyard, deep in contemplation. The party was nearing, and she couldn't afford to give up so effortlessly.Accompanied by her bodyguards, Luna paced around the yard. Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the wall.Asly grin spread across her face. Having spent years in the countryside, she was adept at climbing trees and scaling walls. She was confident she could easily escape this way.However, just as she was forming a plan, a mouse seemingly appeared out of thin air and fell onto the electrified fence above the wall.“$zzz, Aooo.” A pitiful squeak res
