After leaving Alex's house, Luna finally returned to the hospital. Her mind was in chaos as she tried to process everything that had happened. Just as Alex had said, things had spiraled out of control, and now she didn't even know what to do anymore. She couldn't back down at this point, but she also couldn't see herself going through with a wedding. What sort of torture was it going to be? When she had married Cyrus so many years ago, she had been so excited and thought her life was going to turn out perfect. But she was happy on her wedding day because she was in love with Cyrus.However, that was not the case with Alex. Yes, everything was an act, but going to that extent—would she be able to put up with it? All the drama, all the formalities that came with having a wedding—she had thought she would just secretly sign the marriage document, do her part, help Alex get his inheritance, and walk away. But now, things were turning out differently, not the way she had hoped.When she
Alex came out of his car, folded his arms, and stared at Cyrus, "Who let you into this premises?""That doesn't matter," Cyrus replied. "It is important for us to talk."Alex looked at him condescendingly. He knew very well who Cyrus was, but he wasn't willing to indulge him. "A lowlife like you has nothing to say to someone like me. I have no interest in whatever it is."After speaking, Alex opened the door of his car, and was just about to get in when Cyrus said, "How about my daughter? If I open my mouth to speak, everyone will know about my relationship with Claire. I'm sure you do not want that to stain the perfect image you've created in front of the world."Alex squinted his eyes, "Are you threatening me?""Of course not. How can I dare threaten the great Alex Cooper?" Cyrus asked in a mocking tone. "I'm just saying that you should pay me some money, and I will keep my mouth shut. I have no interest in Luna, and neither do I even want Claire. But if you do not pay, my mouth wi
Alex kept staring at Luna, waiting for her to explain why she was crying. When she wiped her eyes, she said, "Don't mind me, Alex. Just seeing you with Claire made me emotional. You know, from when she began to speak and started going to school, Claire would ask me about her father. Then I would wish Cyrus would just show up in her life, even if it was briefly, just so she could get what she wanted. But it never happened. Even though you're not really her father, seeing you in there with her and seeing her so happy just made me really emotional.""I'm sorry," Alex said."No, no, you don't have to apologize.""I'm not apologizing. I'm trying to say that I'm sorry about everything that you've been through. You're a strong woman, Luna. Despite all that you've faced, you pulled through. Do not worry, I will take care of both you and Claire, okay?"Luna laughed, "Come on, Alex. We both appreciate what you're doing, especially me. In fact, when I came into your house in the beginning, I m
Alex Cooper drove Luna back to the hospital. On their way, she kept silent, thinking about the things Miriam had said. Eventually, she couldn't take it anymore and said, "Leftover, really?""I'm sorry," Alex replied, "don't take Miriam's words to heart. Everyone knows she's a pain in the ass.""No, there's no need for you to apologize," Luna said. "I know it's not your fault. I know she's overbearing. It's just funny that of all things, she referred to me as a leftover.""Just forget about it," Alex said. "Go be with our daughter, and umm, tomorrow morning, I'll pick you up.""Our daughter? I guess it sounds strange since it's the first time I'm hearing that when it concerns Claire.""Really? You mean her father never.......Sorry, I forgot that he's a douchebag."Luna smiled, "He sure is. Thank you very much. I don't know what is going to happen from here on and to be very honest, I am worried. I don't want to be but the things your sister said, they are going to get out to the medi
After hearing Luna's words, Alex turned to stare at her and asked, "What? Do you know him?""Take a guess," she replied.He stared at the man in front of them for a while and said, "He does seem like someone I've seen before, but I can't recall where. Perhaps he's not important enough.""Trust me, you're not wrong," Luna replied. "I don't get why he's at your gate.""Yeah, I would have driven in and ignored him, but since you seem to know him, I will just wait to see what happens.""Really? Are you sure you don't want me to tell you who he is right away?""I want you to tell me, so I'm waiting for you to do that," Alex replied."That is the awesome father of the year. Both he and Cyrus are at the top of the list of the most horrible fathers in the world. I'm sure they're vying for the position.""Are you kidding me? That is your father? The one who turned his back on you after your mom's death?"Luna nodded. "Yes, he's the one. Let me guess why he's here. He has heard that I am marrie
Miriam stayed in her house, thinking about what to do about the situation involving Alex and Luna. At that moment, she received a call from her grandfather. She picked up the call and was surprised when he told her that he had just done a DNA test and confirmed that the little girl was his great-granddaughter."That is impossible," Miriam said, standing up. "Grandfather, are you sure there were no mistakes in the result?""Shut up! What do you know?" her grandfather asked. "Those are my doctors. They've worked for our family for years, and you're questioning them just because you want to satisfy your evil schemes.""Grandfather, why are you speaking to me like this? Is it because of that Luna?" Miriam asked. "I don't want to lose my temper, okay? I've found my great-granddaughter, and I'm very happy. I want you to be happy for your brother as well. Finally, his family is complete. I always wondered why I never saw him with any girl. Doesn't it all make sense to you now?"Miriam real
When Alex came back home, Luna, who had been pacing up and down, worrying herself, asked, "How did it go?""How else would it go? Of course, it was successful." She fell back on the couch, heaving a sigh of relief, "Finally! I was so scared." "What were you scared about?" he asked. "Well, I don't know. I just had this fear that your grandfather's doctors might not want to... betray him." Alex smiled, "I told you to leave it to me. Come on, I am a good businessman, and I didn't come this far by losing so easily. I told you I had everything under control. I think we need to celebrate. Our wedding ceremony is on Sunday, and my dad wants us to have a party Saturday night.""A party, huh?" "You did agree to it," Alex reminded her. "So, why are you so surprised?" Luna said, "I know, but I was thinking it wouldn't..." "Listen." Alex said, "It's a party that is coming up on the eve of our wedding. Just have fun and enjoy yourself. I'll get people who will get you ready for the party.
Luna stared at Alex, surprised at what he was asking her to do. In the short time she spent with him, she had thought he was different, but now she recalled what her friend had told her – that Alex would likely want to have sex with her. She turned to leave, but he held her hand and held her back."Why are you so upset? What is the problem?" he asked. She scoffed, "So, in the end, all you care about is getting in between my legs. I'm so disappointed in you, Alex." He folded his arms and stared at her, a smirk appearing on his face, "But you're not being forced to spend the night in my bed. It's just an option. As I said before, Adrian betrayed his boss, which makes him unfit to work here. If you claim he's your friend and you want to help him, you know what to do. And if you do not want to help, you have no right to point fingers at me because what he did was very wrong as well. Feel free to leave if you want to. But let me tell you something, spending the night in my bed is not th
