CHAPTER ONE

Sorrow crept in as Luna gazed around the empty room, the silence was deafening. Her eyes locked onto the clock as the hours ticked by, each one reminding her that she was alone in her marriage. Just as she thought the night couldn't get any worse, she heard the sound of the door opening. Her heart skipped a beat as her husband walked in, his eyes scanned the room, taking in the candlelit table, the flowers and the anniversary cake.For a moment, he just stood there, his expression unreadable. Then, his face twisted into a mixture of annoyance and irritation. “Luna, what's all this?” he asked gruffly, his question like a slap in her face.She walked over to him and hugged him. It felt like she was hugging a tree because he didn't hug her back, he just stood there with discomfort on his face.“Have you forgotten what day it is?” She asked, looking up at him as she let go. He let out a sharp, teeth-clenched hiss—an action he did whenever he was annoyed. A small frown crept up her fac

Her hands trembled as she turned the doorknob and saw that it was unlocked. She didn't want them to know she was there.With a gentle push, she created a tiny gap in the door, allowing herself to glance inside the room undetected.

“W-What are you doing here?” She scoffed, yanking her arm from his grip. “Here to laugh at my misery?” She hiccuped, the alcohol already taking a toll on her.“Laugh?” He chuckled lightly. “Why would I laugh at you?” He sat down on the stool next to hers, resting his chin on his hand as he placed it on the counter. “I'm just wondering, what brings a beautiful woman like you to a joint like this?” Luna threw her head back and downed the tequila shot as soon as the bartender poured some into her glass, letting out a small gasp as the liquid burned her throat. She turned to the man and gazed at him through blurry eyes.“Just trying to forget,” she slurred as the words ran out together. “Forget what?” He asked, his deep voice low and soothing.Luna shrugged, her shoulders barely moving. “Everything…what you did.”The man raised a brow as he jerked his head up. “What did I do?” Luna's eyes narrowed, her vision still blurry. “You know exactly what I'm talking about,” she spat out.His

Luna woke up with a start, her head throbbing from the previous night's escapades. As she sat up, a wave of nausea washed over her and she rushed to the bathroom where her body expelled its contents into the toilet.The pain in her head intensified, and she felt like she was going to pass out. Finally emerging from the bathroom, she stopped in her tracks. “What the…” Her brows furrowed in confusion as she was greeted by an unfamiliar room. Grogginess clouded her mind as she tried to recall how she ended up there and the events of the previous night. As she took in her surroundings, a glimpse of something caught her eye.On the edge of the bed, closest to where she woke up, she saw a faint bloody stain and her heart sank. She looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a short T-shirt that barely covered her thighs. She felt a spike of panic as she tried to piece together the fragments of the previous night—obscure memories of the bar, tequila shots blurring her vision and th

FOUR YEARS LATER “And the CEO of the Year award goes to…!” With a mischievous glint in his eyes, the presenter savoured the moment, building the tension as he scanned the crowd’s expectant faces.He relished the fact that he held the power to make someone's night unforgettable. As the spotlight danced across the sea of faces, he lifted his arms and her name soared through the air, shattering the silence.“Luna Chavez!!” Her eyes widened as her name hung in the air, her mind struggling to process what she'd heard. The room fell silent, heads turning in her direction as the spotlight stayed fixed on her. “Luna, he called your name.” She turned to face her, still frozen in disbelief.

Luna stood up, smoothing her jacket as she extended a hand across the polished mahogany table. “Thank you, gentlemen, for placing your trust in our company. We won't disappoint you.” The clients, impressed by her confidence and presentation, shook her hand, exchanging pleasantries. As they left, Luna felt a sense of relief and satisfaction wash over her. Another successful deal closed.Sophia, who'd been quietly observing from a corner of the room, approached her. “Your skills never cease to amaze me, Luna.” Luna gave her a warm smile, tucking a stray strand of dark brown hair behind her ear. “Thanks, Sophia.” “So, uhh…I was thinking….you know with everything we've been juggling lately, I think we deserve a quick break.” She said nervously, fidgeting with her red silk dress. Luna raised a brow, wondering what she was hinting at.“A quick break?” Sophia nodded.“Yeah, a quick break and I was thinking we should go shopping…like today…right now.” Luna scoffed, shaking her head.” You
