“It’s not my fault if that woman ends up hating you. I am not accountable for the things that might happen, okay?”
He nodded. “O f course, you can do whatever you want. So, it’s a deal now?”
“I’ll definitely kill you if you try to escape from me, Brent.”He suddenly laughed. “Of course, I always fulfill my promise. And besides, do you really think I can fool Leon Dompteur?”
“I just want to make sure, because you’d be really dead if you don’t stick to your words.” After that, Brent finally left. Brent is a professional architect, and I need him for my next project in our company. He's the only architect that I trust because I don't want to end up with a trash project. I will do everything just to do this project no matter what it takes and no matter what happens. MOON’s POV “Ahh! You look so cute!” Prestine cooed when I was finally wearing the pink dress that she chose for me. We were inside a boutique, looking for a dress that I could wear for that blind date. I don't even know why I suddenly felt nervous. “Prestine, do I really have to wear such an expensive dress like this? We want that man to despise you, right? So why are we trying so hard to look good?" “Huh? But don’t you want to look good? What if that man is actually an incredibly handsome man? We don't know, maybe he's the man you've been waiting for." I shook my head. “I no longer have those hopes, Prestine. For sure as soon as he sees my face he'll already want to leave. And besides, having a relationship with someone is not in my priority list at this time. All I want is to be able to pay all our debts.” “Is that really true? Or is it because you’re still in love with your childhood best friend that never showed up since then?"I immediately felt my cheeks turned hot. “H-Hey, that's not true. I don't even think about him now. Maybe he's already married or even has a kid already. That's not really in my mind right now. What I want is a decent job and money.”
“Ah, you really are such a good girl, Moon. But I do hope you’ll find someone that you deserve someday.” I just shrugged because of what she said. Someone that I deserve? Do I really have that someone?Moon's POV"Leon Dompteur, do you accept Moonleigh Fuentes as your lawful wife?""I do.""Moonleigh Fuentes, do you accept Leon Dompteur as your lawful husband?"I glanced at Leon first, before finally facing the priest and spoke, "I do.""I now pronounce you, husband and wife. Mr. Dompteur, you may now kiss your bride."And as soon Leon heard that he looked at me with a teasing smile on his face. "You heard the priest, I can now kiss you."He was so eager to kiss me because I hadn't allowed him to during those past few weeks we were preparing for the wedding.I told him I would only allow him to kiss me after the wedding, and he got grumpy about it.I rolled my eyes. "Fine. You may kiss me know, but only for ten seconds.""Fuck the ten seconds," he said, then he pulled me close to him and claimed my lips as the audience started cheering and clapping.Leon kept kissing me as if he wanted to do it all day, so I gently pushed him away which made him glare at me."Why did you push me awa
Leon's POV"Sophia, I actually have something to tell you." I said while we were sitting on the swing where we used to go to back when we were kids.She turned her head and looked at me. "What is it?"I took a deep breath, then I spoke. "I can't marry you.""What?""I can't marry you. And I can't continue this relationship with us anymore.""Why?" she casually asked."I still love Moonleigh. I love her so much that she is the only woman I want to be with for the rest of my life. I know it's crazy. It's been so long now. I thought I would be able to move on from her, but I was wrong. She is still the one that I want. She's the only woman I ever loved like this."Sophia didn't speak.I thought she would cry, but then I got surprised when she started laughing.I looked at her with furrowed brows."Sophie? Why are you laughing?"She shook her head. She stopped laughing and looked at me. "I wasn't laughing because it's funny. I laughed because I already knew you would say that.""W-What?"
Moon's POV"You really are so good at choosing the best place to have a date, Moonleigh." Tyrone said as soon as he arrived at the place where I asked him to have dinner with me.I just gave him a simple smile. "I'm glad you liked it."I really chose to have our seat on the balcony of the restaurant where only the two of us were sitting there while seeing the view of the stars and the city. Just thinking about what I am about to say to Tyrone already breaks my heart.He has been so good to me since the start. I don't want to hurt him, but I don't want to lie to him either.We just ordered some food, then started eating. No one was speaking between the two of us. I didn't know how to start the conversation."You know what, Moonleigh. This is the very first time that you asked me out on a date. I mean, I didn't mean to offend you, but I just want to tell you how happy I am that you asked me for dinner.""I should've asked you a lot before."He shook his head. "But you can ask me anytime
LEON's POVI opened my eyes and got surprised when I didn't see Moonleigh beside me. I roamed my eyes around the room but I couldn't find her, so I stood up and put on my clothes before going outside."Are you looking for your girlfriend?" the old woman who owns the inn asked upon seeing me."Yes. Do you know where she is?"She shrugged. "Well, she already left early in the morning. She said she'll ask someone to go here to take you back to the hotel.""Did she bring her things with her?""I guess so. She was in a hurry when she left."Why did she leave me alone here?I took a deep breath and looked at the woman. "A-Alright. I need to leave now, too.""I think if you are having some misunderstanding, you need to fix it right away. You shouldn't let that woman go, young man. She is the one for you. I can see it.""Thanks. And yes, I won't let her go again."***When I reached the hotel, all the staff and the people we went there with told me that Moonleigh had already left. She just to
Moon's POVWhen I'm finally done taking a bath, I proceeded to the room to get the dishes that Leon used, but then I didn't find him there so I had to go to the kitchen and there, I saw him washing the dishes."What are you doing? You're supposed to be taking a rest now. Let me do that.""You have already done enough, Moonleigh. Besides, I feel fine now. Washing the dishes is nothing to me."I nodded my head. "I see. If you insist. By the way, I will just sleep here in the living room while you're going to sleep in that room.""And do you think I'll let that happen? You'll be the one to sleep there and I'll be the one sleeping in the living room.""It's cold in the living room.""Then maybe we can just share the same room together?"That stopped me.Share a room together with him?!"I mean, if that's alright with you. You can sleep on the bed while I sleep on the floor. At least both of us will be warm.""O-Okay."***"Here's the pillow and a blanket," I said, as I handed Leon a pillo
Leon's POVHow can she speak as if nothing happened? As if she didn't cheat on me and date that moron she said she was friends with? And now, she's making me feel like I was the one at fault and that I cheated too?Move on? Is that really so easy for her?No one was speaking to us while we were walking in the middle of nowhere. It was snowing, which made it even harder to see. It was evening already too, and we couldn't see any people from whom we can ask for help.Yep, we got lost."Why did you even decide to go there when you don't know how can we go back?" Moonleigh suddenly spoke, sounding so pissed off."Hey, you enjoyed all the activities too, right? Why are you acting as if this is all my fault? I didn't even force you to go here with me!"She glared at me, and I almost stepped back. "I didn't know anyone there except you, and since you are now my investor, I thought maybe I could get along with you for a better relationship with both of our companies. I had so much fun, but ge
