Luna stared at Alex, surprised at what he was asking her to do. In the short time she spent with him, she had thought he was different, but now she recalled what her friend had told her – that Alex would likely want to have sex with her. She turned to leave, but he held her hand and held her back."Why are you so upset? What is the problem?" he asked. She scoffed, "So, in the end, all you care about is getting in between my legs. I'm so disappointed in you, Alex." He folded his arms and stared at her, a smirk appearing on his face, "But you're not being forced to spend the night in my bed. It's just an option. As I said before, Adrian betrayed his boss, which makes him unfit to work here. If you claim he's your friend and you want to help him, you know what to do. And if you do not want to help, you have no right to point fingers at me because what he did was very wrong as well. Feel free to leave if you want to. But let me tell you something, spending the night in my bed is not th

Miriam ran to Luna and hugged her, and Luna smiled, hugging her back."I am so excited," Miriam said. "Everything is just so perfect. You know, I came here earlier, but I had to go out because I received a call. But.... seriously this is amazing, we should toast to many more amazing parties and to each other too."The party began at this point and Luna was grateful for it as she found a reason to ditch Miriam. Her picture and Alex's were displayed on the screen. Some of the pictures, she had no idea when they were taken but she believed Alex must have agreed for them to be used because she came out well in all the pictures.After that, they were invited to dance before everyone. Alex took her hand and led her to the dance floor. Knowing that they were being shown live, Luna felt uncomfortable, especially with the way Alex kept looking into her eyes.She thought back to how Allison had said Alex had the hots for her and inwardly said, "No, Alex. I hope Allison is wrong because I never

Luna went straight to bed after showering as she was extremely tired. She slept beside her daughter, Claire, and when morning came, they all had breakfast together.Luna had woken up quite early because it was the morning of her wedding. She smiled at Claire and said, "Mommy would be very busy today, but Uncle Adrian will stay with you, okay?""Yay!" Claire said happily.Seeing Claire so happy to spend time with Adrian, Alex felt even more pleased with him.After breakfast, Luna began to get ready, and once again, all the artisans came into the house to get her ready. Luna knew that Claire wasn't comfortable with her nanny since she was still new, which was why she told her that Adrian would stay with her.She asked Adrian to check up on Claire occasionally and play with her if needed."Oh, don't worry about that," Adrian said. "You know that I adore Claire. Of course, I'll be by her side until you get back. I would have loved to be there with you, but I guess Allison would represent m

Luna stared at Alex for a while and pulled her hand away from his hold. She said, "Listen, Alex. I've gotten used to solving my problems myself. I've always taken care of whatever is thrown at me. Yes, I have had a few assists from my friends, but I practically had to do everything for myself since I left home. I'm not saying I do not appreciate your efforts. I see the support you give me here and there, but I don't want to rely on anyone. I don't need you to look out for me or fight my battles. Alex, when the time comes, we will definitely go our separate ways, and I do not want to get used to being pampered or seeking help from you. In all honesty, if my daughter had never become sick, I would not have been here. Ever since I left Cyrus, I made up my mind that I will never rely on a man ever again. I never planned to get married again, and neither did I plan for everything that is going on right now. But I can't do anything about it. However, I will simply say something. I don't

Alex pulled away from Luna, leaving her looking surprised. He smiled and said, "Now is the time to take a dive. Can you do it?"She nodded in agreement.He turned to face the water, and Luna followed suit. "On the count of two... one... go!" They both jumped off the ground and dived into the pool after Alex counted.The videographer moved around the pool, capturing them from different angles.As Alex swam, he kept smiling, playfully splashing drops of water at Luna, who laughed along. They looked adorable together, and anyone who saw them would assume they were in love.However, Luna knew she had to play along so that Alex's efforts wouldn't go to waste.Eventually, Alex swam closer to where she was and pulled her into his arms. After a moment, he gently stroked her wet hair before kissing her once again.After swimming for a while, they finally emerged from the water. The videographer exclaimed, "Wow! I have amazing shots and videos of both of you!"Luna smiled and said, "I guess our
