LOGIN"Bastard!" Matteo growled when he found himself sprawled on the floor, unaware of who had pushed him.
The 32-year-old man staggered towards a bed, because even in his heavily intoxicated state, he knew that lying on a bed was much more comfortable than lying on the cold floor. Under the influence of the psychedelic drugs Adrian had slipped into his drink, Matteo began to hallucinate and feel euphoric when he saw the girl he liked asleep on the bed wearing only her underwear, while the beautiful dress that had been clinging to her body lay on the floor. "Ah, Luna, I almost thought my hopes would be dashed tonight," Matteo muttered as he touched Luna's cheek, which was as smooth as Chinese porcelain. "It turns out I was wrong; you came and gave yourself completely to me! Now I realize my love is not unrequited!" In his hallucination, Matteo saw Luna as if she was very passionate about him, so he laughed heartily because of it. "All right, look at this, baby," he muttered as he removed the clothes clinging to her body before finally caressing Luna's sleeping body. In his hallucination, the girl moaned with pleasure at every touch Matteo gave her. "I hope this isn't a dream," Matteo muttered again in a hoarse voice. The man removed the lace panties that covered Luna's most sensitive parts. "I will do my best, love. I hope you are still a virgin," said Matteo before finally thrusting his erect manhood into Luna's sensitive parts, which had been covered by lace panties. ................................... All the invited guests were wondering about Luna's absence from her engagement stage. This, of course, caused Alexander to panic as he began to worry about the condition of his beloved daughter. Luna had once told him that she was really looking forward to the engagement day, so it was impossible for Luna to deliberately disappear on the night of her engagement. Not far from where Alexander was standing, Adrian pretended to fidget just as Alexander was doing. "Uncle, where is Luna? Shouldn't she be here already? The event started 20 minutes ago, but Luna still hasn't shown up," said Adrian as he pulled his elbow to look at the watch on his wrist and played with his facial expressions to look as restless as possible to cover up his dirty deeds. Alex, who understood Adrian's anxiety, could only take a deep breath before exhaling slowly. "Let's wait a little longer. I'm sure Luna will be here soon, and the event can begin," said Alexander, trying to calm Adrian down. A series of questions filled the middle-aged man's mind. What had happened to Luna, that his beloved daughter had not come down to the hall? Hadn't she been looking forward to tonight's event? The appearance of a maid named Greta in the midst of Alex's anxiety immediately caught the attention of Alex and several other people there, including Adrian's parents. "Excuse me, sir, it seems that Miss Luna is in the servants' corridor. I saw her walking there earlier," said the maid, giving false testimony as instructed by Emily. "Really?" asked Alex incredulously. Why would Luna be in the servants' corridor? As far as he knew, his beloved daughter was not familiar with any of the servants there. Alex wondered to himself. This, of course, aroused suspicion in Alex's mind. Followed by Rosaline, his second wife, Adrian, Emily, and several servants who were there, Alex walked towards the maid's room corridor to look for his daughter. The group scattered, opening each door along the maid's room corridor one by one. "Sir, look what I found!" shouted one of the servants with a gesture of surprise, prompting Alex to quickly step towards the room that had caused his employees' shock. Emily and Adrian quietly looked at each other and smiled; their efforts to be together would soon be realized, regardless of the fate of Luna and Matteo afterwards. Alex's eyes widened while one of his hands clutched his chest. His heart pounded painfully beneath his palm as he saw the embarrassing discovery, which was also seen by several servants and Adrian, Luna's fiancé. "What has she done?" Adrian growled, feigning anger at the sight of Luna lying on a bed with Matteo, neither of them covered by a single piece of cloth. Alex could only take a deep breath to swallow all his disappointment at Luna's actions, which had tarnished his reputation. The middle-aged man could no longer say anything to deny it; the evidence was clear before his eyes: his beloved daughter had done something indecent with the bodyguard he had trusted for the past two years. For a moment, Alex closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The events of the previous day, when Luna had complained about the presence of the bodyguard she trusted to protect her daughter, made his temples throb. 'What kind of drama are you trying to show your father, Luna?' Alex thought to himself with a grimace. His heart felt torn apart by the betrayal of Luna and Matteo. Rosaline, who also knew about Adrian and Emily's evil plan, touched her husband's back and said, "Is that how your beloved daughter behaves, Alex?" Rosaline whispered, glancing disgustedly at Luna and Matteo lying on the bed. "All this time, you've spoiled her too much and paid little attention to Emily. And yes, now you see it with your own eyes. The child who has disappointed you the most is actually your favorite." Rosaline's words further fuelled Alex's anger towards Luna, causing his fists to clench at his sides while his face tightened. "Get out of this room, all of you, and don't try to wake them up. I will interrogate them myself once they wake up," said Alex in a flat voice, but it was enough to make everyone in the room leave one by one. Deeply disappointed, Alex chose to leave Luna and Matteo where they were. He simply thought that his daughter and Matteo were fast asleep after their passionate encounter, unaware that Luna and Matteo were actually under the influence of certain drugs that rendered them unconscious. Before leaving the room, Adrian pointed his mobile phone camera at Matteo and Luna before finally letting out a slight smirk and putting the phone in his trouser pocket. ............................................. "Kyaaaaa!" Luna screamed in shock when she found herself awake, naked alongside Matteo. Matteo, disturbed by Luna's scream, slowly opened his eyes and immediately screamed when he found himself and the girl naked. "What have you done, you pervert!" Luna covered her body with her wedding dress, which had been lying on the floor. "What exactly happened?" Matteo asked back, only to be met with a hard slap on one side of his face. "Don't play dumb, Matteo. I know you're actually a very cunning man!" Luna said with a trembling voice, the tears that had been welling up in her eyes now streaming down her cheeks. Matteo tried to remember what had brought him to bed with Luna, but no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't remember entering the room with her. Screams coming from the maid's corridor woke up the occupants of the rooms surrounding Luna's room. One of them immediately reported to Alex. Shortly afterwards, there was a knock on the door, causing Luna and Matteo to look towards the source of the sound. "Who's there?" Luna asked. "It's Donna, Miss. The master is asking you and Matteo to meet him in the living room." Luna's breath caught in her throat; she felt a bad premonition. Would Alex be calling her and Matteo regarding the embarrassing incident she had just experienced?Alex sat lost in thought on a sofa in the lounge. His gaze was fixed on the photograph he held in his hand. It was a childhood portrait of Luna with his late wife, Chiara. In the photo, Chiara sat in a chair holding little Luna in her lap; they were both wearing white dresses of the same style. Alex’s fingers traced Chiara’s face, a bittersweet smile etched upon his own. In his heart, the man whispered an apology for his failure to protect their only daughter. Alex’s actions did not escape the attention of a middle-aged woman who had recently been watching his every move. Her ambition to make Alex bequeath his business to Emily showed no sign of waning; indeed, it had grown stronger following Luna’s expulsion from the house. Rosaline walked over to Alexander and sat down beside him. Her eyes flashed with anger when she saw the photograph Alex was holding. Rosaline’s lips, painted with blood-red lipstick, pursed slightly. It seemed her presence could not replace the position of Ale
There wasn’t much conversation between Luna and her flatmate following the agreement they’d reached the night before. Not even during the journey to Magnolia Spring Resort. For some reason, Matteo’s silence was getting on Luna’s nerves. She missed the times when he’d paid her attention and gazed at her with such a gentle look. Luna still couldn’t understand what sort of personality Matteo had. His demeanor could change so easily; one moment Matteo would be a man full of care and warmth, as warm as a breath. Yet in an instant he could turn cold, as cold as ice at the poles. The two of them arrived at the forecourt of Magnolia Spring Resort. And surprisingly, Matteo unbuckled Luna’s seatbelt as soon as he turned off the car engine. “You don’t need to do that; I can do it myself,” Luna exclaimed as Matteo suddenly leaned in and unbuckled the seatbelt fastened around her waist. A warm tingle ran through Matteo’s chest when he accidentally brushed against Luna’s full, rounded breasts."
What would you do if someone you loved couldn’t let go of their past? You’re always by their side, trying to be their rock when they’re vulnerable. You try to send them signals of your love, but they can’t even pick up on them and still see you as just a friend! Yes, nothing more than a friend!In such a situation, some people might walk away and look for another woman, remembering that there’s more than just one woman on this earth. But not Matteo. He chose to stay. He knew that Luna needed healing for the wounds of her past. And he wanted to be the one to heal the pain she felt.“What’s wrong with you? Did something I said hurt your feelings?” asked Luna, holding onto Matteo’s arm. Matteo’s eyes looked at Luna’s grip on his arm. He felt that flutter again as the soft surface of the girl’s hand touched him. But in an instant, that flutter turned painful when Matteo realized that Luna only saw him as a friend.The man gave a faint smile and turned to take Luna’s hand in his other han
Luna hurried to the lobby as soon as her shift ended. She had just received a message saying that Matteo was waiting for her in the lobby. She longed to get back to her flat as quickly as possible and weep her heart out over the painful reality she had faced that day. Upon arriving at the lobby of Magnolia Spring Resort, Luna was taken aback by the sight of Matteo sitting on the sofa with a cup of coffee in front of him. Several staff members from the company appeared to be chatting with him in a friendly manner. This, of course, made Luna’s brow furrow deeply. Who exactly was Matteo? Why did everyone at Magnolia Spring Resort seem so deferential towards him? For a moment, Luna stood transfixed, staring at Matteo, who looked so charismatic and commanding as he spoke with the staff seated beside him. Luna then walked slowly towards the group of men and greeted them politely. “Miss Winterbourne has arrived. I’ll take my leave; she must be very tired and want to rest immediately,” sai
Emily hurried after Adrian, who was chasing after Luna as soon as the partnership meeting had ended. The brunette knew that Adrian wanted to discuss Matteo’s behavior—he had just humiliated Adrian in front of the head of the marketing division at Magnolia Spring Resort. The sound of Luna’s high heels clacking loudly on the floor could be heard. The girl was in a hurry; she couldn’t bear to look at Adrian and Emily for any longer. She felt betrayed by the two people who had once been so close to her. Adrian’s hand reached out and grabbed hers, halting Luna’s steps just as she was about to reach her office, forcing her to turn towards the man who had just seized her wrist. Luna knew exactly who it was. “The meeting is over; is there nothing else we need to discuss, Mr. Adrian?” Luna asked, emphasizing the last word. She lifted her chin defiantly, displaying a very clear gesture of defiance, causing Adrian and Emily to glare at her disapprovingly. “What do you mean? Did you deliberate
It’s hard to forget all the memories of your first love. But what if that first love—which has long since ended and which you desperately want to forget—keeps popping up before you, tormenting you with the closeness they’ve formed with your sibling? Isn’t that incredibly painful?Luna’s breath caught in her throat the moment she was confronted by Emily and Adrian, who had just entered the meeting room. Emily, who had been linking her arm through Adrian’s, immediately released her grip the moment she realized Luna was there. Was the behavior Emily displayed a sign of guilt for having started a relationship with Luna’s ex-fiancé? Of course not. Emily was merely putting on an act at that moment.Luna’s role as marketing manager meant she was forced to meet clients seeking to collaborate with Magnolia Spring Resort. But it felt incredibly difficult for her to face her ex-fiancé. Should Luna resign from her job? It seemed utterly impossible to find another job, given that Luna’s reputat
"Why did you only just answer my call?" Matteo shouted at the man on the other end of the line. Stefano Morgan—Matteo’s best friend and his right-hand man at Magnolia Spring Resort—frowned upon hearing his friend’s raised voice. "I've only just returned from the board meeting," replied Stefano, t
"I can do it myself," protested Luna as Matteo was about to compress the wound on her lip with a handkerchief that had been soaked in ice water beforehand.Matteo's index finger landed right on Luna's lip, so the girl chose to remain silent. The man brought their faces closer together until there w
The sound of the television filled the silence between Matteo and Luna. Both pairs of eyes stared at the television with bored expressions, but each of them was busy delving into the other's thoughts. Luna, who felt tormented by the silence, finally cleared her throat and spoke up to break the sil
Luna's eyes slowly opened as the delicious aroma of cooking teased her sense of smell. Her empty stomach, which had not been filled since morning, protested, causing the girl to grimace as she clutched her stomach. She remembered that her breakfast that morning had consisted of nothing but insults
