Miriam left the house first thing in the morning and went to the station to bail out Cyrus. After getting the go-ahead from Alex, she put her plan into motion.Cyrus, who had spent the night regretting his actions toward Alex and Luna did not expect that Miriam would come to take him out so soon. He knew that she had also been arrested, and was not aware of when she was released.When Miriam arrived at the station and Cyrus was let out, he stared at her in surprise. "You're free to go," the officer said to him. As the cuffs were taken off his hands, he walked over to where Miriam was and wanted to hug her, but she covered her nose and moved backward.Realizing he was stinking, he smiled. But inwardly, he told himself that it was a good thing he had her sex videos, as he was going to keep using them to blackmail her. It turned out that Miriam was powerful. Even though she was arrested the day before, she was still able to get out and eventually bail him out.As they came out of the s
Alex stared at the young girl in surprise and turned to stare at Luna, but Luna smiled and said, "Oh so adorable. Okay, let me give you two space to have some fun. I'll quickly get the snacks."Alex watched Luna as she walked away and went over to the counter, and a frown appeared on his face.The girl in question was also surprised, and Alex winked at her, indicating that it was time to leave.He couldn't believe that he had deliberately staged that to see Luna's reaction. He wanted to find out if she had at least developed a soft spot for him. But she did not even seem bothered, which meant that even if she caught him in bed with another girl, it wouldn't make any difference to her. This wasn't what he wanted. He had wanted to get a reaction from her; perhaps she would have warned the girl to stay away from him. Could it be he was going about this the wrong way? Perhaps it was better for him to open up about his feelings. Trying to drop hints here and there might not really work w
Luna moved away from Alex and shook her head, "No, Alex, you can't say this to me. No, you cannot.""I'm sorry," Alex replied, his voice filled with sincerity. "But this is how I feel, Luna. I didn't plan for this to happen. I've tried to fight it...""Come on, Alex," Luna interrupted, frustration evident in her tone. "This is just the first month, and you're telling me that you're in love with me? I mean, there are so many women at your disposal. You can get any woman you want. Why would you want to do this to me?""Luna, why do you make it sound like me loving you is such a heinous crime?" Alex defended himself. "It's not so bad, okay? I promise you, Luna, that if you give me a chance, I will make you very happy. Everything will be different. It won't be like your past experiences. I will always be there for you, just like I have promised you before.I know that, except for Adrian, you have a skewed view of men, but not everyone is evil, and I think so far I have shown you that I am
Cyrus opened his eyes, and looked around in surprise, as he found himself in an abandoned house. His hands were tied to two sticks on his right and left, and his shirt had been taken off. The room was pitch dark, and he called out, "Who is there?... Who is there?"Someone entered the room, and turned the lights on, causing him to instinctively close his eyes to adjust to the brightness. When he opened his eyes again, he realized he was in a filthy room, and there was a bed behind him.His back and knees ached, indicating that he had been in that posture for a very long time. He stared at the man standing in front of him, remembering how Miriam had gotten him from the station and made him unconscious. Anger radiated from his eyes as he spoke, "How dare you? Tell Miriam that if she doesn't let me out of here, she's going to live to regret it."Before he could say more, the door swung open, and Miriam entered the room, looking sexy with heels and thick makeup on her face. Folding her ar
As Alex left for work, Luna spent her day thinking about everything that had happened. Despite trying so hard to come up with a way to live with him in the months that were left, she still found herself feeling worried. She believed things were the way they were because Claire had not fully recovered, but once she was, Luna knew that Claire would be all over Alex, which would force Luna to always be in his space. How was she going to cope with this awkwardness between them?Meanwhile, as Alex went to work, he couldn't stop thinking about how to resolve the situation with Luna. He blamed himself for speaking too soon, but then again, he told himself that it was better she knew how he felt. Perhaps, if he tried harder, she might change her mind. But what if she didn't?For a moment, he contemplated telling his grandfather to hold off giving him his shares because if Luna found out that he got the shares, their contract would come to an end, and he would not have a reason to be with her
As Luna left Alex's room, she stood in the living room, smiling. She could not understand why she was feeling so guilty. Perhaps, it was because she hadn't really done any nice thing for him since their arrangement began. Not that she was obligated to.The contract had clearly stated their terms, and she was sticking by them. Despite having these thoughts, she made up her mind to take care of Alex to the best of her ability until he recovered. That way, she would always feel like she was able to do something nice for him, and when they parted, she could try her best to still keep him as a good friend. At the very least, he could think about the times when she went out of her way to do something nice for him like she had decided to do.She went to the kitchen and met Adrian, who was paying attention to what the cooks under him were making."How is it going?" she asked."Dinner is almost ready," Adrian said. "How is he?""Well, he's okay, thank you so much. His assistant already left;
Seeing the way Alex was staring at her, Luna smiled. "Don't look so surprised, Alex. I've already signed up for this."Alex smiled and, leaned on the crutch with his right arm while his other arm went around her shoulders, and she began helping him to the bathroom.Once they got into the bathroom, he said, "Um, there's a problem.""What is it?" she asked."I need help with my... Um, my instrument for peeing.""What? How can you......?" Luna wanted to complain, but then she noticed that one of his hands was resting on the crutch and his other hand was around her shoulder. If he took it away, he'd lose his balance, and it would cause him more pain in his legs."Why are you blushing so much?" he asked. "Come on, you're a grown woman. Why are you acting like a child?""Fine."Luna closed her eyes as her hand went to his zipper. Alex's heart began to race and his gaze remained fixed on her as she undid his zip. The moment her hand touched his d*ck, he got a boner. As Luna felt his d*ck do
Luna got up and looked at Alex in surprise."Do not get upset, Luna," Alex said. "It's just the way I feel."She shook her head and ran out of the room. Once again, she leaned outside the door as she tried to control her beating heartAfter a while, she said to herself, "No, I am not going to run. I should make my stance clear to Alex. I've already promised to care for him, and I'll fulfill my promise. I'll care for him until he gets well."She was about to walk back into the room when her phone began to ring. She took out her phone and saw that it was from Allison. She breathed in and out before answering the call."Hi Allison, what's up?""Hi Luna, I'm so sorry," Allison said. "Adrian told me about the accident. How is Alex? Is it really bad? I heard he's confined to the house for the time being."Luna sighed, "Yeah, well, I offered to take care of him, so I'm doing my best, and I'm hopeful that he would get well.""You're taking care of him? Then I doubt if he'll really recover." A
