"Let's say Mr. Grant owned almost every business here in San José City," William explained.
We were walking in the courtyard of the mansion while he was feeding up my curiosity. He is a very kind person, unlike Ares. I mean, he is hot but a snob.
I decided to go for a walk around the estate when I woke up this morning. The things I saw inside the walls of this palace-like haven blew my mind! When I stepped outside, I saw a large group of men wearing black and white suits and carrying guns. Some are armed with katanas! I believe I've seen them in a movie before. Men in suits, armed with weapons, who are handsome, hot, and —
"Are you all right, Luna?" William inquired. He seemed concerned because I was zoning out.
"Of course! I was just wondering what kind of business that could be. Is it legal?" My inquisitive mind can't help but wonder.
He looked me in the eyes
Ares was walking back and forth in front of his bed, scratching his head with the tip of a pen. The scene from last night inside his room with Luna was still jumbling in his mind. He should be thinking of a plan in response to what happened yesterday at the Monaco mansion, but his mind was giving him clear flashbacks of Luna's lips. Her soft body, her silky hair, and how she blushed!"Goddamnit!" He was perplexed as he threw punches in the air.When he stepped out of the shower last night, his gaze was drawn to the woman who was tiptoeing her way out, and he found himself scolding her instead of simply letting her out peacefully so that the incident should never have happened.He closed his eyes and sighed deeply before dialing his phone, attempting to think calmly. His uncle was correct. He should be paying attention to what is more important. And a distraction like this will only harm his plans."I
"Hello, Luna! What are you up to at the moment?"Liam was the one who called. It's her sixth day in the city, and Liam is constantly visiting her. Sometimes he will tell her to look out her window, and he will be there to say hello, give her a basket of fruits, or randomly knock on her front door to inspect the entire house, which is very strange."I was just watching the sunset on the bay walk. Now I'm off to the market to get some groceries for dinner. Why?" She answered, waving and smiling at random strangers.She already had friends. The guy selling flowers, the people in the market who sometimes give her free meat or fish, and even though she has the money Liam gave her, she can't refuse those goods. Her neighbors also welcomed her, and most of them were Grant's company employees."I was checking in to make sure I had something to report to the big boss. Stay at the house tonight, alright? Hey,
The beam of light from the sunrise woke me up as it peeked through my window, giving me a little push to open my eyes. I could hear the sound of the ocean's waves and the chirping of seabirds as they scoured for food from the outside. And I am here, squeezing my cheeks against the pillows as I try to feel the warmth of my blanket. It was only for a moment that I could detect the scent of freshly brewed coffee as the breeze whispered in my ear. Coffee? As soon as I started thinking about it, I was eager to put my feet down to the cold floor. But I needed to sleep a little bit more, so I tucked myself even deeper into the sheets. "Did you sleep well?" "Yeah," I answered dreamingly with my eyes closed. A voice with that kind of tone made me want to stay in bed all day long. A whiff of coffee fills my nostrils, and I exhale a sigh of contentment as my thoughts converge.
My feet are treading on a shady path. I could feel the pain of every little rock buried in it, as well as the thorny weeds I stepped on while holding back the sobs that wanted to escape my mouth. I could hear the voices and footsteps of whoever was pursuing me from a distance."Find her! She hasn't gotten that far yet!"When I heard a loud bang from the gun, I dropped to my knees. I knelt down to examine the wound in my stomach and pressed it with my palm to stop the bleeding. The pain was draining all of my energy, and all I could do was shake my head gently to avoid fainting.While trying to catch some air, I crawled in the opposite direction, thinking it would be safer. Even though I was on the verge of collapsing, I was able to lift my body despite the sharp point of the grass slitting my skin and inflicting a painful sting."Hello. We haven't located her yet, but it won't be long before we do! A
Luna excitedly runs downstairs while giving smiles and greetings to the maids who are busy doing chores around the mansion. Everyone was busy changing curtains, arranging freshly picked flowers in large vases, and prepping breakfast in the garden.The morning is still young. The fog at the East is still visible while the yellow-orange sun is slowly rising over the horizon.She had just gotten out of the shower when she received a phone call from Liam, informing her that he would be coming to the estate this morning. Who wouldn’t be excited if she only had Liam on her side while everyone else ignored her presence!Well, except for Ares, who is at least now giving her a little bit of attention. Speaking about Ares, after leaving his room last night, she went back running to her room and screamed like a madwoman! She wanted to vanish at the very same time, and Scar was giving her a cold stare as if in his eyes; that w
It's getting late, but I still can't sleep. I have done a few positions to get drowsy, but my spirit is still wide awake.I slammed the blanket down on my body and got up to glance at Scar, who was sound asleep at the foot of my bed. When he felt my presence, he seemed lazy and opened his eyes to look at me for a moment and dramatically purred before closing his eyes again.Tss. Look at him getting nasty just like AresSmiling, I reached out my hand to him to caress his head. When I got tired of playing with his fur, I got up and groomed myself in front of the mirror. I just wore thin blue nighties, and I covered them with white clothes to cover my body.I slowly made my way out of the room and made my way to the elevator because it would take me a few minutes to get down if I used the stairs. I don't want to exhaust myself. When I got inside, I immediately saw the CCTV attached in the corner.
The blinding light from the sun woke me up. I squinted a bit when I opened my eyes that got directly hit by the sunlight. My whole body was covered with heavy blankets, and the pillows were strewn everywhere on the bed.I lazily sat down and fixed my hair but suddenly flinched when I felt an excruciating pain inside my head! What's happening?"Aaaah!" I screamed while aggressively pulling my hair, attempting to ease the pain!The deafening sound was resonating inside my ears, and I almost fainted. Fortunately, I heard a loud growl echo around the four corners of the room, making me snap back to my senses. It was followed by a loud banging of the door."Luna!"While catching my breath and sweat all over my face, I tried to find the familiar voice who was hurriedly coming my way. Despite my blurry vision, I still recognized the person wearing anxious eyes in front of me.&nb
"Get the fuck out of my sight!"A roaring voice Ares echoed throughout the dim passage of the hallway in the underground.On the other hand, Liam rubbed his nape in annoyance at his cousin's sudden mood.When he arrived at the estate to report that they caught the culprit behind the stealing of gold bars, Ares was already emanating a blood fire in his eyes.Ares, on the other hand, was in a rage. He could not accept the fact that Luna shoved him away like that. No one ever dared to do that with him! Despite being strict, his father never forsaken him, not even for once! And now he just let her cast him out of the door at his own territory!When they reached the last door of the basement, Ares pulled the door forcefully like it would lose in hinges the moment he opened it.Inside, the only light that dimmed the entire area was the yellow light bulb at the center of the ceiling. The quarter w
