In his room, as he stared at the viral post of Luna and Alex, Cyrus sneered, "What a bitch! Oh, you think you've arrived? You're living the life, right? If I can deal with someone as cunning as Miriam, who are you, Luna? And that dumb idiot you call your husband, he may be wealthy and all, but when I'm through with him... when I'm through with both of you, you will know that no one messes with me, Cyrus. In a matter of minutes or hours, I'm going to have so much money in my hands. And then, everyone who has looked down on me and treated me like garbage will see what I can do. As for Miriam, I already have her where I want her. You, Luna, will be next."While he was speaking to himself, Sylvia came out of the room and said, "What's going on, Cyrus? Miriam said she would send the money today, and she hasn't. Come on, you're supposed to take me out shopping.""Relax," he said. "The money will come today. She has given me her word. Of course, you know, if she goes against her word, there

After giving out instructions, Alex excused himself and went into his room. He rounded up what he was doing earlier and came back to the living room, but Luna was no longer there. He sat down for a while, thinking about everything that had happened. Ever since he met Luna, the only time he saw her being really affected by something was when Claire was involved. But now he was seeing that Claire's well-being wasn't the only thing that could shake her up. Her reputation meant so much to her.Luna, who had left the living room after Alex did, went into the bedroom and sat on the bed. She kept staring at her daughter, Claire. It was just so unfortunate that her father was really a good-for-nothing man. Luna never thought he could go lower than he had already done, and with each passing day, he gave her more reasons to regret ever meeting him. The only consolation she had was Claire, who was the best thing in her life.She thought about all that Alex was doing to teach Cyrus a lesson. Wit

Miriam left the house first thing in the morning and went to the station to bail out Cyrus. After getting the go-ahead from Alex, she put her plan into motion.Cyrus, who had spent the night regretting his actions toward Alex and Luna did not expect that Miriam would come to take him out so soon. He knew that she had also been arrested, and was not aware of when she was released.When Miriam arrived at the station and Cyrus was let out, he stared at her in surprise. "You're free to go," the officer said to him. As the cuffs were taken off his hands, he walked over to where Miriam was and wanted to hug her, but she covered her nose and moved backward.Realizing he was stinking, he smiled. But inwardly, he told himself that it was a good thing he had her sex videos, as he was going to keep using them to blackmail her. It turned out that Miriam was powerful. Even though she was arrested the day before, she was still able to get out and eventually bail him out.As they came out of the s

Luna moved away from Alex and shook her head, "No, Alex, you can't say this to me. No, you cannot.""I'm sorry," Alex replied, his voice filled with sincerity. "But this is how I feel, Luna. I didn't plan for this to happen. I've tried to fight it...""Come on, Alex," Luna interrupted, frustration evident in her tone. "This is just the first month, and you're telling me that you're in love with me? I mean, there are so many women at your disposal. You can get any woman you want. Why would you want to do this to me?""Luna, why do you make it sound like me loving you is such a heinous crime?" Alex defended himself. "It's not so bad, okay? I promise you, Luna, that if you give me a chance, I will make you very happy. Everything will be different. It won't be like your past experiences. I will always be there for you, just like I have promised you before.I know that, except for Adrian, you have a skewed view of men, but not everyone is evil, and I think so far I have shown you that I am

As Alex left for work, Luna spent her day thinking about everything that had happened. Despite trying so hard to come up with a way to live with him in the months that were left, she still found herself feeling worried. She believed things were the way they were because Claire had not fully recovered, but once she was, Luna knew that Claire would be all over Alex, which would force Luna to always be in his space. How was she going to cope with this awkwardness between them?Meanwhile, as Alex went to work, he couldn't stop thinking about how to resolve the situation with Luna. He blamed himself for speaking too soon, but then again, he told himself that it was better she knew how he felt. Perhaps, if he tried harder, she might change her mind. But what if she didn't?For a moment, he contemplated telling his grandfather to hold off giving him his shares because if Luna found out that he got the shares, their contract would come to an end, and he would not have a reason to be with her
