Thirty minutes later, Luna stood in front of Moira’s door. She had pressed the buzzer, and she could hear footsteps coming in from inside, so she waited. She hadn’t known where Moira was staying until a few days ago, she had been scrolling through the news and had stumbled on a small magazine’s headline. They had done an article on ‘The Mother of Business’, that was what they had called her. They had written an article on her life, her work, net worth, where she lived and a few quotes by her. Basic stuff. Small magazines wrote articles like that, on prominent people in the spotlight, to help boost their viewership and ratings. Apparently, according to the article, Moira was not living in the home she shared with her husband- which was the same one Luna knew since she was married to Justin- for a while because of some business she had to take care of, and she needed to be closer to the business. That was where Luna had gotten the address. She stood in front of the house now, it w

Leaving Moira’s house, Luna went back to the house, to Justin. She walked into the foyer, she dropped her car keys on the table right beside the door. It was midnight already, she had just parked her car in front of the house, it would keep there till the day rolled in. She was tired, bone tired, and she didn’t think she could do anything else other than to go to bed this night. She had had more clarity about the last six years in one night than she had had for the last six years. The irony. She stepped into the living room, and Justin was there. He was seated at the edge of the couch, he stood up immediately as he saw her. Luna watched his eyes go urgently from her head all the way down to her toes, and then they came back to her face. There was anger, mixed with a host of other emotions, they swirled like storms in his eyes. “Where have you been?” he demanded. “I told Jake not to leave you, I told him to stay with you, damn it.” Luna heard the frustration in his voice, the t

Luna slowly opened her eyes, she squinted against the sun rays coming in through the blinds, she covered her face with her hand. She tried to get her bearings. As her brain processed, she tried to bring the events of the previous night to the forefront of her mind. And then it all came rushing back. Luna didn’t jump out of bed, she didn’t jerk or act startled. She just lay in bed, eyes open and staring blindly at the sheet wrapped around her. Oh shit, she thought silently to herself. She had slept with Justin, again. And this time, she had initiated it. Luna took a minute to marvel at her boldness, as she remembered how she had thrown herself at Justin. Unlike last time though, she didn’t bother to chastise herself. She had been lucid and very aware of what she was doing the night before when she moved in on Justin, she hadn’t been naive. And she wasn’t even now. She had wanted what happened between them last night, to happen, and she didn’t feel any different now that the sun

Flashback. Luna looked at herself in the mirror, she ran a hand gently down her hair. She was getting ready for the press conference she was about to give. The interviewer and her camera crew were downstairs even now, in the living room, waiting for her. She had put the news out last week that she had something to say regarding the news that had been circulating in the media about her father, she was planning to debunk it. Luna knew she was new to the scene and she didn’t know much about the press and the power plays that were involved in it. She didn’t know the inner workings of it all, but she knew they had all heard about her plan to make a statement. She knew the news had gotten to them all, there was no way one station heard about it, and the others didn’t. The press was a vine, even she knew that much. And yet only one studio had gotten back to her. A small news company, New York Morning. The interviewer had reached out to her yesterday and scheduled a meeting with her for

Two days later. Luna walked into the hall with Justin. Her arm was tucked into the crook of his, eyes turned to look at them as they walked in. Luna knew how they looked, Justin dressed in a smart black suit, looking clean and natural, like he was born in the suit. And she, dressed in a sequin straight midnight dress that hugged her body and went straight down, with a slit starting from her left thigh all the way down to her legs, to fall in a silky pool around her feet. The gown had subtle glitters that only winked when she walked. Diamond jewelries glittered from her ears and around her neck. She knew how they looked, like a power couple that was eating the event up. But she also knew that that was not the reason why people’s heads were even now turning to look at them. No, that was all for a different reason entirely. And that reason was that she was on the arm of her ex-husband, who up until recently- meaning when she moved back into Justin’s house- had been engaged to anoth
