"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

“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.“

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

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

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
