Luna's Choice

It could have been anyone at all, why did it have to be Florencia Douglas? Why did it always have to be her? Every time she felt she had finally gotten close to Thomas, Florencia was always lurking somewhere, especially with Matilda Donovan, Thomas's mother, and the Luna of the evergreen pack.

Maryanne sighed. She had left her wealth and her glorious family background to come and live and work with Thomas Donovan who had been her crush and obsession since her college days. Thomas was a bully and he was rude, yet she still managed to fall deeply in love with him. Thomas had never treated her nicely except he wanted her to teach Florencia something she was able to master about the computers in their company. Maryanne was a true prodigy in computers but she had somehow trained Florencia to become her rival in the same field all because of her obsession with Thoma

Maryanne was in deep pain as she sat on her bed, reading the message that Thomas sent to her. He had asked her to come and prepare Florencia for the presentation of the new software she, Maryanne, had made. She was more than furious. Today was the day that completed the two years she had asked her family for. They had kept their part of the deal and it was her turn to keep her part of the deal. She knew she was under strict instructions not to leave the house because of the last time she had insulted and almost fought Florencia. However, Thomas knew the kind of person she was so he sent his driver to go and pick her up

She couldn't take it anymore. Sighing to herself, she began to pack her things into a big bag. All her clothes, shoes, bags, and everything else she had, she packed them into the bag. Once she was done, she pulled the bag behind her and walked confidentially towards the gate. Two guards stood at the gate, guarding the gate. Maryanne exhaled sharply. She had hoped that Old T would be the one at the gate. If he was the one, she could plead with him to allow her to leav

"Good morning." She greeted

They stared at her, ignoring her greeting but giving her their full attentio

"I need you to open the gate for me." She said agai

The two men stared at her as if she had gone nuts. Well, she didn't blame them. She heard them being given strict orders not to open the gate for her to leave except she was being driven by Thomas's driver

"Can you at least call Old T so I can speak to him?" She asked softly. "Or do you also feel entertained by the way I'm being treated here? I hear the maids gossip about how stupid I am to leave my family and stay with a man who doesn't care a fickle about me

"Don't you think leaving is worth it? You can simply say that the driver was the only one you opened the gate for. You can say whatever and no one would question you because it's what happened.

"If you feel too strongly about the punishment, you can run away as well.

"After all, this is not the pack house," Maryanne said. "Don't look so surprised, I have heard most of the conversations held in this house. I know that you all are a special type of people.

One looked at the other and he nodded and left. Maryanne prayed in her heart that Old T would accept for her to leav

"Maryanne." Old T called. "What is the matter? I see you with your bags, are you leaving? Thomas says he will send his driver here soon

"We can't allow you to leave, at least not without letting Thomas know. I'm sorry!

Maryanne smirked at him. Right then, the driver honked outside the gate. Old T shrugged and Maryanne kept her smirk on her fac

The gate was opened and she walked out with her luggage, into the car. The driver was surprised to see her with a big bag behind her

"Madam, we are going for a presentation, not a journey." The driver sai

"Says who?" Maryanne smirke

The driver did not know how it happened but when he realized himself, Maryanne was gon

Shamefully, he drove back to the company. Thomas was waiting for him, impatiently in front of the company

"Where have you been, you fool?!" Thomas demanded, restraining himself so that his voice would not be heard by the guests he had in the compan

"Sir... I can't explain what happened, sir. I found myself at the airport." He said. "I don't know what happened either

"What do you mean by you just found yourself at the airport?!" Thomas bellowed. "Can you hear yourself? You idiot!

The driver shrunk back in fear. He prayed to his god for deliverance. Somehow, another car drove into the company and Matilda stepped out of the car

"What's the matter, Tommy?" Matilda asked. "I received Florencia's call. She said there was an emergency at the company. What happened and where is Maryanne

"I sent this fool to bring her and just listen to the crap he is telling me," Thomas screame

"Keep your damn voice down, Thomas Donovan," Matilda ordered. "Not a single sound out of your mouth

She turned to the shaking driver. "What happened? Talk to me, tell me everything that happened from when you arrived at the house. And I mean everything.

The driver nodded shakily. "When I arrived and honked, Maryanne was standing with Old T and Frank and Dan, she was with a very big trunk box and I wondered why she took it along. She held this confident smile as I have never seen her carry

"When I asked her why she took the bag since we were only going to the company, she smirked and said, says who? We aren't going to the company, we're going to the airport.

Matilda's face turned grim. "Let me guess, you found yourself at the airport?

"Exactly madam.

"Leave." She ordered and the man left hurriedly, thanking her as he ran away. Thomas glared at his retreating figur

"Mom

"Just as I feared." Matilda hummed. "The girl is one of our kind. She has a special ability too."
