Chapter 29

No Other Choice

Luna’s POV

I returned to the house immediately and noticed no one was home so I walked straight to the room,changed my outfit and rested on the bed.I was already drained from the love making all night with Owen. I can’t stop thinking of the moment, I wish it never came to an end.. I placed my phone on DMD and slept off immediately. 

Someone poured water on me and I jumped up immediately, “What the hell is….” Seeing it was Victor, I took back my words because I knew I was in trouble. Oh my God, do not tell me he found out already about what happened between me and Owen last night? Is Owen safe? Is he going to kill us? What should I do now?

“Victor, you are back..”

“I have been trying your number non-stop and why the hell are you sleeping at this time of the day?” He yelled at me with full force and I managed to dodge.

“I am sorry, I dozed off..” I tried to explain to him, still shivering out of fear because I know he is going to do something terrible to me.

He pulled me by the hair and I screamed out in pain, “Victor please….”

I got another beating of my life and he left me again calling the family doctor to tend to me.. I cried non-stop and wished I could run away and be with Owen but knowing I am in an indefinite contract with him,I have to wait till the day I will die.

The doctor finished tending to me so I thought of calling Owen to find out if he has been able to handle the whole thing and that’s not just the reason, I miss him so much already.

I used the other phone Victor had no idea off and when he picked, his voice already made me smile.

“Hey my love.”

“Can you not call me that?”  I rolled my eyes but my voice betrayed me, Owen knows me like the back of his palm and it will be easier for him to detect that I have been crying.

“Are you okay my love? Did something happen to you?” He asked but my emotions got the best of me..I tried so hard to control the tears.

“Baby, did he hurt you?” He asked, yes he guessed right but I can’t let him know that, I need to cover up, that’s the only way I can save him.

“I am fine okay so tell me, how did everything go?” I switched already and he went on with the answer that got me disappointed, “I am sorry my love, I failed..”

“What do you mean you failed?” I asked, wiping off the tears and sitting in another position hoping is not what I am thinking right now. He has to handle it, we can’t have that double date.

“We have no other choice but to attend…”

“Owen, just one thing I asked of you and you failed me…. I see you are selfish, don’t ever call me again.” I ended the call and turned off the phone at once without waiting to hear what he had to tell me.I am so doomed... What am I going to do now? This is getting out of hand..  What if this is a trap? I just need to calm down and forget everything I have going on with Owen and focus more on Victor and the kids I have for Owen even if he doesn't know about their existence.. I guess my life is full of lies now...

Just like a news flash,the date designed for the work event and double date was fast approaching and I haven't seen Owen or heard from him since the last time. I cancelled all my meetings with him and sent someone to stand for me giving Victor some excuse which he bought so easily.

I was busy playing with my kids when Victor walked in,“Luna,come to the room now.” He exited after delivering those sentences from his mouth. I felt this strange cold wondering what was going on? Did I get on his bad side all over again? 

Only one way to find out is just to summon courage and go to him. I kissed my kids and allowed the nanny to do her job.

I walked to our room but stopped with my hands firmly holding the door knob. My fate lies in there but no matter what,I am going to survive what is waiting for me.

I turned the door knob and it opened slightly,I was as slow as a snail and here I am,right with him with the room quiet like a graveyard..

“Victor,I am here now.” My voice barely above a whisper.

"Great,go get changed, we are going shopping...” He said without even looking at me.

“Is there a script you want me to go over before we head out?” I inquired because I know cases like this,maybe the press or paparazzi will be present and he will want us to make an impression of a happy couple.

“No need for that,just be the lovely wife I married,we never can tell paparazzi will be waiting to capture each moment so don't fool me.” He said in a low tone but even if his tone was very low it was filled with a lot of authority.

“I will get ready at once.”  I settled in a simple classic wear and about heading to the bathroom when his voice stopped me.

“Where are you going??” He asked but why does his voice sound so romantic? I guess I must be thinking of Owen.

“To the bathroom to get changed and freshen up.” I replied hoping I haven't done anything wrong.

“Why can't you get changed in my presence? Or Are you cheating on me?” I felt a big lump in my throat,did he find out about my affair with Owen?

“I am not cheating.” I said in a hurry.

He got off the bed and walked to me pushing me to the wall and whispered with his hands slowly moving around my thigh,“I know you won't dare because you are my property.. Take off your clothes,I want to have a view of my gorgeous wife.”

I obeyed by taking off my clothes and he gripped my neck saying,“Are you scared of me??” I burst into tears immediately,was he going to have the painful and tormenting sex with me?

“Why are you crying like a baby? You know what,just get ready,I will have time for you when we return.” He said and finally  let me go.

I rushed to the bathroom trying to catch my breath.. he is a monster...

A few minutes later,we arrived at the shopping mall and to my greatest surprise he was here...

What the hell is he doing here? Are we getting killed here?

“Owen, you are here already and where is your beautiful lover?” Victor asked with a smile on his face and Owen slowly called,“Hey love,Victor is here.”

What??? Did he just call her love?? Is this a setup? Now I see what is going on here,Owen is showing me his true colors..

What hurt the most was the fact that Owen was so cold as ice to me. He walked to me with no hint of love in his eyes and just said,“Good to have you, Mrs Arnault.”I nodded and his hands got wrapped around Camila,who said,“Now let's shop and have fun..” I tightened my grip. I feel like crushing that tiny creature called Camila… I want to scream, “Get away from my man!” But how on earth can I do that with Victor all around me… Will I be able to survive this?

TBC..
