SECRETS OF THE HEART 의 모든 챕터: 챕터 1 - 챕터 10

Her hands trembled as she turned the doorknob and saw that it was unlocked. She didn't want them to know she was there.With a gentle push, she created a tiny gap in the door, allowing herself to glance inside the room undetected. But how could she be detected when they were so engrossed in each other? The sight of their entwined bodies was a dagger to her heart, a painful betrayal that left her gasping for breath.She moved back swiftly, shock and horror evident in her eyes as she struggled to process the devastating scene. The image of them seared itself in her brain, one that she would never forget. She saw the woman's leg wrapped around her husband's waist, their bodies moving in a slow sensual dance that made her blood run cold.A storm of emotions raged within her–jealousy, anger, betrayal and sorrow. She marched over to the door and was about to barge in when the woman spoke up again.“George…I wanted to talk to you. It's about Luna”. She froze, her eyes narrowing and her li

Luna woke up with a start, her head throbbing from the previous night's escapades. As she sat up, a wave of nausea washed over her and she rushed to the bathroom where her body expelled its contents into the toilet.The pain in her head intensified, and she felt like she was going to pass out. Finally emerging from the bathroom, she stopped in her tracks. “What the…” Her brows furrowed in confusion as she was greeted by an unfamiliar room. Grogginess clouded her mind as she tried to recall how she ended up there and the events of the previous night. As she took in her surroundings, a glimpse of something caught her eye.On the edge of the bed, closest to where she woke up, she saw a faint bloody stain and her heart sank. She looked down at herself and saw that she was wearing a short T-shirt that barely covered her thighs. She felt a spike of panic as she tried to piece together the fragments of the previous night—obscure memories of the bar, tequila shots blurring her vision and th

Luna stood up, smoothing her jacket as she extended a hand across the polished mahogany table. “Thank you, gentlemen, for placing your trust in our company. We won't disappoint you.” The clients, impressed by her confidence and presentation, shook her hand, exchanging pleasantries. As they left, Luna felt a sense of relief and satisfaction wash over her. Another successful deal closed.Sophia, who'd been quietly observing from a corner of the room, approached her. “Your skills never cease to amaze me, Luna.” Luna gave her a warm smile, tucking a stray strand of dark brown hair behind her ear. “Thanks, Sophia.” “So, uhh…I was thinking….you know with everything we've been juggling lately, I think we deserve a quick break.” She said nervously, fidgeting with her red silk dress. Luna raised a brow, wondering what she was hinting at.“A quick break?” Sophia nodded.“Yeah, a quick break and I was thinking we should go shopping…like today…right now.” Luna scoffed, shaking her head.” You

“Do we have any leads on the person who did this?” She turned to Sophia and Marcus, her gaze pleading for answers. “Anything. A name, a face?”Sophia hesitated, sympathy written all over her face. “We’re still investigating, Luna.” Marcus added, his voice firm. “We’ll get to the bottom of this, Luna. I promise. But we need your help. Can you think of anyone who would do such a thing?” Luna's eyes darted between Sophia and Marcus, her mind racing. How was she supposed to know? She had so many business rivals. Sure, some of them had threatened her but she never thought any of them would actually go through with it. “How did this happen in the first place? We conduct a mandatory weekly check-up on all our properties, so how could this have possibly happened?” Sophia and Marcus glanced nervously at each other, fidgeting on the spot.Luna's eyes narrowed as she studied them. They were hiding something from her. “What's going on? What aren't you guys telling me?” Sophia bit her lip, tak

Luna stared at the stranger in the mirror, her eyes widening in disbelief. Sophia chuckled as she tightened the braids in Luna's hair. “Soph? Who is this person?” Luna asked, her voice laced with astonishment.She laughed. “It’s you, silly! You look gorgeous.” Luna's gaze stayed fixed on her reflection, taking in the elegant dress, the subtle yet noticeable makeup, and the intricate braids that framed her face. She looked polished, refined and…utterly unrecognisable.She reached out a tentative hand to touch her reflection as if to confirm that it was her. Sophia handed her a pair of earrings, which Luna put on, still in a daze as she stared at her reflection.“Wow, Sophia, I don't can't even recognize my face,” Luna replied excitedly but a little scared.Beaming with pride, she replied elatedly. “That’s the point! I must say, I did a pretty neat job. Maybe I should become a make-up artist.” Luna’s eyes met hers in the mirror, her left brow raised. “Really?” Sophia laughed, nudging
