(Luna's pov)**Earlier that day** I have eventually grown bored, nothing excites me anymore, as if I was a disease he avoided me like he hated the sight of me, he leaves as early as before but returns as late.Because I know no one I wait every night in the living room till he returns in hopes he will say something, but like always he walks straight to his room and returns to have dinner, where he rarely touches his food.What exactly happened that day, I was weak after, he looked angry that I didn't tell him it was my first, I said it didn't matter and that was it, two weeks of silence, with only me looking forward to him to say something, not even a message, not a call."Are you sure about this? Master won't like this" Cecilia said with worry all over her face "He doesn't have to know before he returns I will be back," I said getting ready, I have decided to go hunt for a job, I can't continue to be locked up in here doing nothing, I have knit up a bag from boredom and I can't con
..."Are you married or single?" The question came unexpectedly, I guess the ring on my finger gave it away. I can't even believe I have it on I rarely see him wearing his."I am single," I said forcing a laugh to hide my awkwardness, I immediately switched the ring to another finger "I was skeptical for a bit, but at the same time you are rather young," she said "For part-time assistants, I am not sure our pay will satisfy you, you look..." she said stressing her words as she looked me up and down, again it was my outfit, I will make sure to avoid wearing branded clothes from now on, although simple you can still tell it is high fashion."No, the experience is more important at the end of the day," I said watching her smile deepen "I like you already, the job is yours can you start immediately," she said, I wasn't planning on working today but why not."Of course, I can start immediately," I said, "Then begin," she said smiling, I waited in silence with a forced and awkward smile
...The more I looked at the face the more familiar it got, he continued smiling and approaching me "Hello, I couldn't introduce myself properly, Harrison Sinclair," he said, the dot immediately connected, It was Max's brother "Oh hi," I said awkwardly forcing a smile, on that day he barely looked at my side and only asked one question, I do not know how to feel about him."I didn't believe it for a while, there was no way in hell brother will let his wife roam on the streets without a guard but seeing you from a close-up confirms it really is you," He said while I nodded wondering what to reply with."Guards will only give you unwanted attention and I don't want that," I said "Exactly, you think like me," he said "Mi lady!" I turned around to see Cecilia waving as she ran to me in tiny "I am very sorry I kept you waiting" she apologized even when I should be apologising "Ho young master Harry," she said looking at him "Cecilia?" he asked pointing at her as if surprised "What
...It felt like all the air around has been knocked out, now locked in on a maze with no escape, the beautiful scent from his cologne mixed with sweat and disinfectant coming together to confuse me more.I refused to look away nor say anything, his face felt like a magnet pulling me closer, and closer, he would look more beautiful if only he smiled more, his neutral face always made it hard to know what he might be thinking.A sound interrupted the silence, his phone, I immediately sprint up from my position, "Hello," I heard his raspy voice say, slowly I turned to see his eyes still on me."Hmm" he hummed nodding his head while still on the phone "Yes do exactly like I said, no mistakes" he ordered before ending the call "What happened, was there a pin on the bed?" he asked me, his face cracking a smile, even with my pounding heart I can't deny the fact that even his half heart smile is mesmerizing "Is there something you want me to hear?" he asked getting up, I watched as he be
"Since you are okay, I better go prepare for my job," I Said getting up to leave "Prepare for what?" he asked holding my wrist "My jo..." I paused realizing he wasn't supposed to know, but those it matter? I don't think we are allowed to have a say in each other's private life."Hum..." I smiled with my full teeth awkwardly not knowing how to start "So I got a job," I said watching his reaction "You got a what?""I got a job at a salon," I said watching him, he stared at me with a confused stare "Don't worry I will keep a low profile, nobody will know about us, I can't just continue staying home" I said while he nodded "Do you need money?" he asked to my confusion."Huh?" "If you need money I can...""I don't, I haven't used or touched any money from the one you sent, I can't even look too much at it for I get dizzy so no," I said cutting him shut He got up from the bed still shirtless, I immediately averted my gaze, the boldness from last night has washed away eventually."Wi
...It was 4 and time to head back, I couldn't wait to hear what Cecilia had to say, unlike the previous day, Hervey left earlier because of an emergency so I had to work mostly beside Joe who was amazing as well.I went straight to the cafe where Cecilia seemed to be working as a barista, on getting there she was nowhere to be found."Hello," I said approaching the person at the counter "Hello, good evening who may I help you?" "I am looking for Cecilia, she recently began to work as a barista here" I explained "Oh, Ceci? She left a few minutes ago" She already has a nickname, I trust her to make friends easily, she probably went to fetch me "Thank you," I said I have no option but to go back or perhaps call her, As I walked out of the bustling cafe with my phone pressed against my ear, completely engrossed from the tone if Cecilia's ring back, she wasn't picking as well. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, mixing with the low hum of chatter and clinking
..."So salon it was" he began immediately we were left alone "Yes salon," I said while he stared at me with an intimidating gaze "Is that the only place you went to?" he asked taking ms by surprise "Where else am I supposed to go if not the salon" I mutter to myself "Good then you can go," He said still with his hands folded, his sudden behavior and tone scared me a bit, without saying much of anything I immediately left going straight to my room I didn't get to close the door and he was right there "Who was that man?" he asked scaring me "I do not understand," I said moving backwards "Oh, now you don't understand, you mentioned going to a new job and not going off to any other place so who was the man," He asked while I stared at him in total confusion "Luna do not waste our time right now, you do realize the jeopardy you can get my reputation into if you are seen with another man""Your reputation?" I asked almost amused by that statement "Yes my reputation!" he yelled at
(Max's pov)"You know a little communication would have gone a long way," Ethan said after listening, there was no need in telling her."Right now to her, you are this daredevil who wouldn't let a woman do her thing because apparently, she is your wife" Ethan continued "Come to think of it, the first time she came across him, you both fought and again yesterday""Just tell her he sent you the picture of both of them together, she isn't dumb, she can connect the dots to know he is an enemy" Ethan continued "There is no need in getting her involved in things she need not know," "She needs to know you have enemies"First of all, I didn't expect her to find a job, without telling me, she does as she wishes, if Sabastine could find her then it will only be a matter of time before she is found by others,"Isn't this a good thing though?" Ethan said suddenly bursting into laughter "What is that supposed to mean?""It seems there is finally a weakness on your side, I have never seen you s
