Alex sighed and massaged his forehead. "I'm sorry, Luna if I said what I ought not to have said. I think my words may have come out wrongly. Let's just forget about it, okay? As for backing out of this, that is not going to happen. You've already signed the contract, so let's go."Luna, who had become all worked up, sighed, "Alright, fine. Let's just get it over with." They went to the marriage court and got married. After signing the document, Alex took it, and they left. "So, are we going to get your stuff right away?" he asked when they were inside the car. Luna shook her head, "No, I cannot do that." "Why not?" he asked. "Well, my daughter. How can I move into your house when she is still at the hospital? I need to spend more time with her, and when she gets discharged, I don't know how I'm going to do it." "It's fine. Where are you going off to for now?" "Just drop me at the hospital. I didn't get the chance to see her this morning because she was still asleep when I left l

Alex led Luna out of the house to where his car was parked. He opened the door and let her in. Afterward, he drove to his grandfather's house where the dinner party was meant to take place.As he drove into the compound and they got out of the car, Luna looked around and thought to herself, "Wow, this looks like a palace." Suddenly, she began to feel self-conscious, as though she didn't belong there."Let's go in," Alex said. Just before she could take another step, Luna heard another car pull in. She looked to her right and saw Alex's sister, Miriam stepping out. Luna turned her face away and wanted to continue, but she wondered inwardly, "What is she doing here?"Alex's sister was also wondering the same thing. Unable to keep it to herself, she walked up to them and asked, "Alex, what is she doing here in our family gathering? This dinner is meant for family."Alex replied, "Greet her properly because she's your sister-in-law, and she's older than you by a year.""What?" she stare

After leaving Alex's house, Luna finally returned to the hospital. Her mind was in chaos as she tried to process everything that had happened. Just as Alex had said, things had spiraled out of control, and now she didn't even know what to do anymore. She couldn't back down at this point, but she also couldn't see herself going through with a wedding. What sort of torture was it going to be? When she had married Cyrus so many years ago, she had been so excited and thought her life was going to turn out perfect. But she was happy on her wedding day because she was in love with Cyrus.However, that was not the case with Alex. Yes, everything was an act, but going to that extent—would she be able to put up with it? All the drama, all the formalities that came with having a wedding—she had thought she would just secretly sign the marriage document, do her part, help Alex get his inheritance, and walk away. But now, things were turning out differently, not the way she had hoped.When she

Alex kept staring at Luna, waiting for her to explain why she was crying. When she wiped her eyes, she said, "Don't mind me, Alex. Just seeing you with Claire made me emotional. You know, from when she began to speak and started going to school, Claire would ask me about her father. Then I would wish Cyrus would just show up in her life, even if it was briefly, just so she could get what she wanted. But it never happened. Even though you're not really her father, seeing you in there with her and seeing her so happy just made me really emotional.""I'm sorry," Alex said."No, no, you don't have to apologize.""I'm not apologizing. I'm trying to say that I'm sorry about everything that you've been through. You're a strong woman, Luna. Despite all that you've faced, you pulled through. Do not worry, I will take care of both you and Claire, okay?"Luna laughed, "Come on, Alex. We both appreciate what you're doing, especially me. In fact, when I came into your house in the beginning, I m

After hearing Luna's words, Alex turned to stare at her and asked, "What? Do you know him?""Take a guess," she replied.He stared at the man in front of them for a while and said, "He does seem like someone I've seen before, but I can't recall where. Perhaps he's not important enough.""Trust me, you're not wrong," Luna replied. "I don't get why he's at your gate.""Yeah, I would have driven in and ignored him, but since you seem to know him, I will just wait to see what happens.""Really? Are you sure you don't want me to tell you who he is right away?""I want you to tell me, so I'm waiting for you to do that," Alex replied."That is the awesome father of the year. Both he and Cyrus are at the top of the list of the most horrible fathers in the world. I'm sure they're vying for the position.""Are you kidding me? That is your father? The one who turned his back on you after your mom's death?"Luna nodded. "Yes, he's the one. Let me guess why he's here. He has heard that I am marrie
