The Lover in the Closet Chapter 7
Tristan stared at his hands that were suspended in the air. He remained frozen for a long time.I ignored him to look at Xavier. I smiled and said, "Thank you for dropping by just to return my lipstick to me. As thanks, why don't you stay for dinner? I'll make my hometown delicacies for you."Tristan stiffened.In the past, I had promised him that I would only make my hometown delicacies for him.Dad slammed the door in Tristan's face before he could get a word out.…While we were sitting around the dining table, Dad asked, "Luna… This house… Did you really…"I nodded. "Don't worry about what I said. I only accepted the money because I needed it. I needed to buy a new place to stay and pay my school fees. I had no reason to reject the money because I needed it to survive."I served some food to Dad before continuing in a joking tone, "Just treat the money as compensation for all the emotional trauma I've gone through for the past few years."Dad still looked rather crestfalle

Dad poked his head out from the yard when I returned home."You look happy. I assume that orientation went smoothly?"I took off my shoes and slipped into my indoor slippers before saying, "Yes. I also ran into an old acquaintance. We had a good time chatting with each other."Dad immediately dropped his watering can and hurried over to me. "Who is it?" he asked curiously. "A man or a woman? Do I know them?"I chuckled at his nosiness. "You don't know him. He's just a friend. Don't overthink it."However, I couldn't help the way my eyes kept straying to my phone.Xavier had just sent me a message."See you tomorrow, Luna."A strange sensation spread through my chest. It felt similar to when Tristan had paid attention to me in the past, but it wasn't exactly the same.When Tristan and I started dating secretly, I always felt as if I had just gotten lucky. But now, I felt as if I were being treated like an equal. I didn't have to mull over every word that I said, and I didn't ha

Dad and I didn't say a word to each other after we boarded the plane. It seemed that both of us were distracted with our own thoughts.A long time passed before he sighed and finally asked, "Luna, Mr. Graham was that terrible boyfriend of yours, wasn't he?"My eyes flew open as my heart skipped a beat. "Dad, how did you—"He held my hands tightly before I could finish my sentence. "I wasn't sure at first," he said. "Not until I saw the two of you staring each other down earlier. It became clear to me then."He lowered his voice before continuing, "You had the same disappointed look in your eyes whenever you were done talking to him over the phone."Dad paused and sighed again. "It's good that we left. Our families are in different leagues. You'll have to deal with nothing but trouble if you two stay together."I dropped my gaze.Dad was right. I already suffered countless hardships when our relationship was a secret. I didn't think I had the strength to endure being criticized b

Tristan's hand froze.I barked out a mocking laugh as I buttoned my shirt, watching as he silently adjusted his clothes before he left the room.Music continued to play in the hall. Tristan held Madison's hands as they slowly spun around on the dance floor. The spotlight that shone on them made them look like a match made in heaven.The guests showered them with praises."Madison is the most beautiful woman among the socialites. I didn't expect her to end up with Mr. Graham.""If the Graham and Franklin families entered an alliance, they're going to dominate Aventura's business market.""They look so good together. They really are a match made in heaven."Just then, a man tapped my shoulder, asking, "Would you like to dance, miss? You're very pretty."I was stunned. However, I wasn't able to get a word out before a scoff resounded from behind me.Violet shoved me aside and said mockingly, "She's a nobody, Mr. Slater. She's just a gardener's daughter. She's usually trimming the

The next morning, I went to the bank and cashed the check.I stared at the screen of my phone for a long time when I received the notification that the money had been deposited into my account.I pocketed my phone. I bought a few presents for Dad and a bouquet of fresh flowers before I visited Mom in the cemetery.There was a bouquet of carnations leaning against the tombstone. Tristan had brought them the last time he dropped by. The flowers were still blooming.I shifted the carnations aside and placed my own bouquet against the tombstone.It was very quiet in the cemetery. The leaves rustled as the breeze blew past.I didn't say a word. I stood in front of Mom's tombstone for a short while before I turned around and left.The dark clouds suddenly dispersed when I walked out of the cemetery, mirroring the way the gloomy feelings in my heart also dissipated at that moment.Just then, I received a call from Dad. He sounded rather excited when he exclaimed, "Hurry home, Luna! Mr

I looked up and made eye contact with Madison through the rearview mirror. Her eyes were devoid of warmth and full of warning.I gripped the check and looked out the window at the skyscrapers that were zooming past. Eventually, the stinging in my eyes went away.We spent the entire car ride in silence until I told Tristan to stop."You can drop me off here."Tristan's fingers jolted around the steering wheel.Violet laughed. "I can't believe that someone who allegedly has the same tastes as Mr. Graham is staying in a rundown apartment. I think that you're—""That's enough!" Tristan snapped impatiently, interrupting her.He got out of the car and opened the door for me. He then whispered into my ear, "Don't lock the door later. I'll come over tonight."He got back into the car and drove away after he was done speaking.I stood in front of the apartment for a long time before I finally made my way upstairs.This place was Tristan's and my secret base. We were free to kiss and h
