Cecilia's pov

I stood from the sofa.

"You'd better get going," I said, voice even. "Time waits for no one--especially not your pilot."

Sebastian's eyes flashed with something murky--a blend of frustration, regret, and the kind of silent math people do when trying to calculate how much damage they've done.

"Yes, Ms. Secretary," he said, aiming for humor and landing somewhere near desperation.

He gave me a shallow smile that didn't quite reach his eyes, then turned and walked toward his room, shou

    Cecilia's pov"Of course," George replied with a professional smile. He turned to his assistant. "Try it on. Now."The color drained from her face like someone had pulled the plug. "Mr.George ...Yes."She walked back to the rack and hung the green dress up, reaching instead for a white one."Funny," I called out casually from behind her, "weren't you just raving about how perfect that green dress was for me? What changed your mind?"Her smile slipped, but she forced it back. It didn't look real. She picked up the green dress and went inside.Yvonne and I exchanged looks as we settled back onto the sofa.George immediately began apologizing."I'm so sorry, ladies. She's new and clearly hasn't learned proper etiquette yet..."Yvonne gave him a sharp smile. "You brought a trainee to a private showing? That's either really confident or really careless."George blanched, like someone had just told him his champagne was from a grocery store. He launched into another stream of apologies.I ha

  • Abandoned Luna: Now Untouchable   Chapter 334 Behind the Masks

    Cecilia's povI watched Tang carry Yvonne down the stairs, her silk robe trailing behind her like she was a fairy-tale princess being rescued.She kept "accidentally" brushing her fingers against his shoulder.I definitely noticed.The east sitting room didn't look anything like it did last winter.The minimalist white couches from her holiday party were gone.Now it looked like a private boutique: full-length mirrors, a curtained-off changing area, and mannequins modeling evening gowns straight off a runway.I sank into the velvet sofa while Tang gently placed Yvonne next to me.Mission complete, he claimed a corner chair, popped in his earbuds, and vanished into whatever game had his attention today.Ever the professional. Always present, never in the way.Yvonne leaned in, her voice low and smug."Tang carried me all that way without breaking a sweat. Strong arms, excellent stamina. You noticed, right?"I gave her a look. The kind that said: I know exactly what you're doing.She smil

  • Abandoned Luna: Now Untouchable   Chapter 333 Unexpected Visitors

    Cecilia's povYvonne's place was buried in the suburbs, with no neighbors in sight, just grass and a security system ready to scan your eyeballs. It looked like a luxury yacht floating in a sea of lawn.Classic Yvonne.For someone who fluttered through Denver's high society like it was her private runway, she kept her actual home life behind velvet ropes.Very few people ever made it past these gates."Miss Yvonne is in the media room on the third floor," the butler said, his tone so flat it could've been automated."You can head up yourself, Miss Cecilia."I nodded and nudged Tang toward the elevator.Everything was spotless, like always. It felt more like a showroom than a home.We opened the media room door.Yvonne was sprawled across a custom leather couch, looking like a soap opera actress on her break. She wore a shiny silk slip dress with so many cutouts it barely counted as clothing.A small mountain of snacks surrounded her like temple offerings, and an action movie blared from

    Cecilia's povLiam's words hit me like a jolt. For a second, I couldn't breathe.But he was watching, so I didn't flinch.I kept my expression steady.I forced myself to look confused and hoped it was convincing."Zane went into my room?" I asked lightly."That's... odd. Maybe he mixed up the doors?"Liam shook his head, thoughtful."A high-profile CEO wandering into the wrong room? That doesn't sound like him. Guys like that don't make careless mistakes.""People get distracted," I offered, even though a chill had already crept up my spine."Cassian's room is near mine. Maybe Zane was walking around, thinking about work, and just kept going. It happens."I hoped the excuse landed, but the look in Liam's eyes told me it didn't."Cecilia," he said quietly, "I haven't told Alpha Sebastian yet. I'm telling you first because I think you should be careful. It's better to be safe than blindsided."I nodded, grateful for the warning."Thanks, Liam. I mean it.""Good." He stood up, gathered the em

    Cecilia's pov"What about this afternoon?" I asked suddenly, right as Sebastian's car rolled out of the apartment complex.Sebastian kept his eyes on the road, calm as ever, as we crawled into morning traffic."You look like I just told you we're having dinner with the Elder Council," he said with a soft laugh. "If you don't want to go, then don't. I'll say you're not feeling well, or that the scent of blood at the infirmary is making you nauseous. They'll back off."Still, anxiety twisted in my stomach."If I skip it, they'll think something's up. Like I'm hiding something," I muttered."But if I do go, any decent doctor in that room will figure it out in five seconds. I'm pregnant, Sebastian. It's not exactly subtle."A faint smile tugged at his lips. "So you've already thought it through."I turned to stare out the window, irritation simmering just beneath the surface.After a long pause, I asked the question that had been eating at me for days. "When the baby gets here… do you thin

  • Abandoned Luna: Now Untouchable   Chapter 330 Unexpected Revelations

    Cecilia's povI watched as Cassian flashed a knowing smile but said nothing.Zane sat at the edge of the bed, pushing up his glasses like it was more habit than necessity."I won't let anything happen to you," he said, his voice just a little too steady to sound natural."I've brought in a top-tier team. They'll keep an eye on you, day and night.""Throwing money at me again, huh?" Cassian replied with his usual smart-ass grin."We're family. You don't have to thank me," Zane said, his tone softening a little too conveniently."I just want you safe. Grandma's been asking about you nonstop. You should stop by and see her when you get back.""I will," Cassian nodded."She's not as strong as she used to be. Another scare might really shake her up.Her birthday's next month, so just... don't bring this up."That sudden tenderness in his voice made my stomach twist.Cassian gave him a look that said he wasn't buying it."How thoughtful of you," he said dryly. "Don't worry, I won't say a wor
