After Stealing My Moon Mark, the Heiress Thought She Could Be Luna Chapter 7
After Layla's arrest the case moved very fast.She had left far too much evidence behind.The original event footage recorded her waiting for the live light. The resin sample and the scent on her gloves proved she had touched Seraphina's cloak. The moonstone necklace preserved her wishing the injured woman dead and planning how to approach Adrian at the funeral.The complete training-hall audio, my injury report, and Layla's slip about the east door during her livestream proved that she had ordered Tessa to beat me.The wolfsbane wine at the dinner, the timing of the faked photograph, the order for the lily gift set, the extraction machine log, the ward cameras and the sealed syringe proved that after her first failure she had gone on trying to hurt Seraphina.Every item corroborated another.Tessa admitted to staging footage, abducting me, slapping and kicking me, striking me with a baton, and forcing me to record a false confession. She submitted the original files and received some

Gregory seized my shoulders from behind while Tessa strapped me into the treatment chair. Mara picked up the restraints with practiced hands.She had done that for nineteen years."Don't blame us." She avoided my eyes. "Layla needs the moonlight. Only if she keeps her silver eyes will she have any chance of changing Mr. Blackwood's mind."I looked at Layla."Adrian has already denied you publicly.""Seraphina made him.""He said himself that every contact was part of the investigation.""A man protecting his sick wife would never admit the truth."She could always rewrite refusal as love and evidence as a test.Tessa opened her phone to film the video of my voluntary sharing. Layla stepped in front of the camera."Only shoot my face and Rowan's. Don't get the restraints in."She had forgotten the old treatment room contained a security crystal. The moment the machine started, the crystal would preserve a view of the entire room.I looked at Tessa."When this is over, she'll say the abd

Layla was held for only one night.I had blocked most of the wine, and the toxicology results weren't back yet. The Vales' lawyer characterized the attack as a momentary loss of control. Layla posted substantial bail, left the station, and was placed under a restraining order protecting Seraphina.Anyone normal would at least have been frightened at that point.Layla wasn't. She decided she had failed only because Seraphina turned up unexpectedly and left Adrian no time to see who really suited him.The restraining order was written very clearly. She was not to enter the hospital floor where Seraphina was, not to contact either of them directly or indirectly, and not to have anyone deliver medicine, food or gifts on her behalf.Layla read it and threw the paper in the bin."That's only a stock form lawyers use to scare people. If Adrian truly didn't want to see me, why would he let me know which hospital Seraphina is in?"The address had come from the police paperwork, yet she could st

Layla touched the moonstone necklace and gave what she thought was a gentle smile."Once things between us are settled, Seraphina's things will naturally be mine as well."Adrian looked at her for a long time.Layla turned back to me, one corner of her mouth lifting.Even now, she believed she was looking at a man unable to suppress his feelings.Layla walked straight to the seat on the right side of the long table.It was Seraphina's seat. Layla not only recognized it; she had done her homework in advance. She had a server replace the flowers with her favorite white roses and pushed the warm water Seraphina always drank to the corner of the table, as though moving a few objects could make the woman who belonged there disappear.There was warm water and medicine on the table. Layla told the staff, "The patient isn't coming. Don't let these things spoil the mood at dinner."Adrian didn't sit. His hand rested on the back of the chair, his grip slowly tightening. Tessa lowered her eyes an

On my first day after quitting, Layla missed two brand meetings.On the second day she got two sponsors' names the wrong way round.On the third day she sent a voice message from the work account. "Even if Seraphina wakes up, she has no value left. Is Adrian supposed to spend his whole life looking after an invalid?"In the past, an error like that would never have stayed online for more than ten seconds. I would have withdrawn it, contacted the platform, and written an apology for her.Now there was nobody to handle it.The message was forwarded tens of thousands of times.Layla didn't apologize. Instead, she berated me in the team chat, claiming that quitting didn't excuse me from staying on call. She had forgotten the group had already been made public, so that message spread with the rest.A brand manager called and demanded she put out a clarification within half an hour.Out of habit, Layla held her phone toward the chair where I used to sit. Her hand was halfway there before she

The next morning Layla did a television interview alone.Without the script I'd prepared, she couldn't even keep the order of the rescue straight. A reporter asked who had triggered the alarm, and she claimed she had. The reporter then asked how much blood she had donated to Seraphina. Layla paused and looked toward me off camera."Rowan, explain it."In the past, all she had to do was say my name and I would have the answer ready at once.This time I stayed where I was."The hospital has an official record."The smile nearly slipped off Layla's face.When the interview ended, she swept a bottle of water off the table."You made me look like a fool on purpose.""You said you did all of it. I assumed you knew the details."She raised her hand, but remembered the reporters outside and stopped herself before striking me.My phone rang. Caleb Mercer of Blackwood Security confirmed my blood-donation details and told me they would provide whatever protection I needed until the investigation
