Flashback. Luna’s heartbeat picked up as she heard footsteps outside the door. He’s home. She brushed nervously at her lap, all of a sudden feeling lightheaded, the tingles in her fingertips ran up her arms and straight up to her head. She could still hear his footsteps in the hallway. She hadn’t known him long, she’s barely known him all of twenty-four hours, and yet she knew his footsteps. She didn’t know why she knew that, and at the moment, with her heart thumping loudly in her chest, she couldn’t find the space to ask herself why, she just accepted it. Besides, the mansion was quiet with all the staff already gone, the head of the staff had come to tell her good night before she left, she was the last one to go. So she knew she was the only one in the house, she and the footsteps. Which was Justin’s. As the footsteps sounded closer to the room, the sound of Luna’s heartbeats increased with it. Finally, he got to the room, he paused and Luna couldn’t hear anything fo

Two hours later, Luna stared at the closed elevator doors as it moved up to Justin’s office. When she had finally gotten to her office after leaving her father’s graveside, and Jaden had told her the first thing on her schedule for the day was a meeting with Justin, Luna couldn’t believe her ears.And it wasn’t just any meeting either, it was a one-on-one, that is, just she and Justin. In his office. Alone. Luna shook her head again as the elevators continued to glide up seamlessly. It was like fucking fate was deliberately messing with her. Or karma, everyone knew she was a bitch. But Luna couldn’t think of what despicable act she might have committed in the near past that warranted this sort of mega payback.Then again, it could just be coincidence, Luna thought to herself. It didn’t necessarily have to mean that some existential force was at play here. It could just be coincidence that on the same day she found out she was carrying her ex-husband’s baby- her ex-husband who appa

Back in her office, Luna leaned back in her chair and closed her eyes as she let the residual feeling from her meeting with Justin slide away. She hadn’t allowed herself to break down, not in front of him. Not even while she was still in his company, and not even on the ride back to the her company. She knew she couldn’t have afforded to have even a little chink in her armor, or a crack in her facade until she got back to her own office.It had been harder than Luna had thought it would be to sit across from Justin and keep the secret she was now keeping from him. That moment they had had before she shut it down had made it harder.In those few seconds when Justin’s fingers had trailed lightly across her face, Luna had had a glimpse of the idea of the man she had wished Justin to be while they had been married. The man she had wished with all her heart that he would grow to be.Within a few weeks into their marriage, Luna had known that her husband was not a fairytale storybook k

The next day, Luna found herself at Honor’s company. Another showing was the first deal on her schedule for the day, and that was why she was there.Luna watched with some detachment as models walked past, showing off Honor’s designs for the gala event. Luna’s mind was still on what she had found out about Ashley’s boyfriend the night before. LaFerve fashion show. Ashley obviously hadn’t known how big a deal the event was, or she never would have told Luna that was where her boyfriend was. She knew Luna would have put it together.And because Luna knew Ashley probably hadn’t meant to tell her even that tiny bit, she hadn’t said anything else after that. She had just let it ruminate in her as they continued watching their series.Ashley must know her boyfriend was an elite, there was no way they would be dating, and seriously- if all the indications were any pointer- and she wouldn’t know that her boyfriend was an elite. And because she knew it, and she knew how…. strongly opposed….

Gina took her seat in the chair behind her desk, she folded her hands together on it and smiled at Luna.“Everything looks great, no issue at all,” she said.Luna felt a bump of joy in her chest at Gina’s words. She beamed, actually beamed, at Gina, like she had given her the baby and not just reporting on the test she had done on Luna.“Thank you so much,” she said to Gina.“Oh, I am so happy for you,” Gina smiled at Luna too, she reached across the desk to grip Luna’s hand, “I really am. I know this is what you have wanted for so long, what you have been so careful with your body for, and now you’re getting it!”Luna smiled and nodded. “I know! I know, and I am so ecstatic about it. Happy, scared, elated, nervous, anxious, joyful. Everything is just mixed up inside of me, and even that I’m grateful for.”Gina chuckled. “That is all normal, trust me. Expectant mothers are the most paradoxical people in the world, especially first time mothers. Well, so I guess there’s no use as
