Luna entered the Forbes office with Alicia following behind her. "Our spot is on the seventh floor," Alicia informed her."Find out where Albert is," Luna commanded, causing Alicia to stop and look at her."Luna, can we just finish our work first before looking for Albert?" Alicia tried to persuade her."I'll do my job, and you do yours. Deal?" Luna bargained, stepping into the open elevator that Alicia held for her."Luna, I'm not sure if Albert is really here or not. Can we focus on our work for now? I promise I'll find out about him later," Alicia tried to reason, hoping Luna would understand.Luna turned around to face Alicia. "It's your fault for telling me about Albert's presence in the first place," Luna retorted."Well, I regret it now," Alicia replied.*Ding.*The elevator doors opened, and they both walked out, heading towards the photoshoot location."Good afternoon, Miss Estrada. How are you?" one of the Forbes magazine directors greeted them."Fine," Luna replied curtly,
"I don't want," Luna rejected once again."Come on, it's just a simple needle. It won't hurt," Lucas tried to persuade Luna, who gave him an annoyed look."For me, it's not just a needle, Lucas," Luna stated.They had been arguing about this issue for a while now, and the staff and a few others behind them had been observing their small argument."You can close your eyes," Lucas suggested."No, I don't want to," Luna declined again."Don't you have any crazier ideas besides drawing my blood for a wedding ring?" Luna expressed her frustration, finding Lucas's idea to be outrageous.As part of their previous plan, they were currently designing their wedding rings. Luna and Lucas had come to a renowned jewelry store in Los Angeles. Luna had initially thought this would be a quick process, just choosing a ring she liked and being done with it.However, unexpectedly, the young billionaire had an unconventional idea that Luna had never even considered before. Lucas suggested incorporating b
Luna continued to gaze out of the window, her mind wandering far away, leaving Alicia and Lili, who happened to be with her today, looking at her friend and boss in puzzlement."Did something happen yesterday?" Lili asked Alicia."I don't know. Yesterday, she went out with her fiancé," Alicia whispered back while looking at Luna, who remained unfazed."Did they have a fight?" Lili inquired, and Alicia just shrugged indicating that she didn't know."I think something definitely happened. She's been quieter since yesterday," Lili continued. Lili looked at Luna, who was still focused on the view. Lili was Luna's assistant and lived with her in her penthouse. Since Luna's return yesterday, she seemed more reserved and spent more time in her room, which was unusual for Luna as Lili knew."Cia!" Luna's voice broke the silence, causing the two who were discussing her to fall quiet."Yes, Luna?""Do you know something about Lucas?" Luna asked, making her two friends fall silent and exchange g
Lucas immediately answered the ringing phone while occasionally focusing on the road ahead."Yes," Lucas replied."I'm sorry, sir. There are many paparazzi waiting for you and madam at the Viceroy Boutique," Carlos said. Before heading to the boutique for their wedding dress fitting, Lucas instructed Carlos to go ahead first because Luna insisted on driving with him. Lucas glanced briefly at Luna, who was also looking in his direction."Deal with them and secure the area!" Lucas ordered."I'm sorry, sir, we can only clear a few hundred meters from the location, there are too many of them," Carlos said."Too many?" Lucas murmured. "Right, it seems like they were intentionally called by someone," Carlos explained."Very well, then handle them properly," Lucas ordered before ending the call. He looked at Luna, who was focused on the road ahead."So, you deliberately called them?" Lucas asked, making Luna turn towards him."Who?" Luna asked, her face showing confusion about Lucas's questi
Luna gazed at herself in front of the large mirror that was the same height as her, allowing her to see her entire body in its reflection. The long white gown she had designed herself finally clung to her body perfectly, looking both fitting and beautiful. The dress had a simple design, yet it exuded an air of luxury when worn by Luna Estrada.A necklace with a pendant resembling the wings of a fairy was wrapped around her neck, adding to her overall beauty. A tiara, not too extravagant but fittingly placed on top of her head with small diamonds at its center, made Luna look like a queen.Her cheeks were flushed pink, whether due to the application of blush or her slightly racing heart, Luna wasn't sure. Even though she couldn't guarantee that this marriage would end happily, she was determined to go through with it. Whether it would be a joyous ending or not, Luna would leave it to fate. After all, she had made her decision. She was complying with her grandfather's undeniable wish, w
Luna gazed around the grand room that had now become the venue for her wedding reception with Lucas. It was one of the ballrooms in a hotel owned by the Alvarez family. Luna hadn't anticipated that Grandfather Travis and her own grandfather would invite this many guests. For the past two hours, Luna had to put on her fake smile and stand tall in her high heels to greet the mostly unfamiliar guests. Frankly, Luna didn't care much, as she wasn't involved in the guest list planning at all. She wasn't planning to invite anyone besides her two friends and two acquaintances. Yes, only those four people, as Luna wasn't particularly fond of getting close to others if she could help it.Luna glanced up at the handsome man standing beside her, now officially her husband. Just like her, Lucas had been wearing a smile all this time. She couldn't tell whether it was genuine or forced, but one thing was clear: Lucas looked extremely tired, much like herself."How many thousands of people did they i
"Travis," Luna mumbled."What are you doing?" Luna asked.Travis fell silent and gazed at Luna momentarily before putting that smile back on. "I thought that was Lucas in there," Travis said."He's still in the ballroom," Luna replied, narrowing her eyes at Travis, suspecting he hadn't just bumped into Lucas downstairs."Oh, I didn't see him. Maybe he's chatting with other guests," Travis answered, tilting his head slightly and looking into Luna's room. Luna quickly blocked Travis's view by standing in front of him and crossing her arms."So, it seems like you have no reason to stand here anymore, right?" Luna asked, causing Travis to raise an eyebrow, giving her an unreadable look."Why are you looking at me like that?" Luna inquired, but Travis didn't answer. Instead, he took a step forward, moving closer to Luna, who instinctively moved back. Travis halted right in front of Luna, only a few centimeters away. He put his hands in his trouser pockets and continued to gaze at Luna, mak
For a moment, Lucas shifted his gaze around the ballroom as if searching for someone. Yes, it was still his wedding reception with Luna, but currently, he was the only one welcoming guests while his partner was probably fast asleep in their room. It's okay, no problem, because he had instructed Luna to rest.Lucas glanced at his wristwatch. The party would be ending soon, as it was almost midnight. He focused even more on finding someone who had been missing since earlier."Has she gone home?" Lucas murmured. But that couldn't be the case; Selena would have bid him farewell before leaving the party, Lucas thought. He stepped into the center of the ballroom, exchanging greetings with a few guests, until his gaze settled on the person he had been looking for."Is it possible she already left?" Lucas wondered. But no, Selena would have said goodbye to him before departing, Lucas reasoned. He quickened his pace toward Selena, his eyebrows furrowing when he realized she was engaged in a li
