Billionaire's Divine Match のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 41 - チャプター 50

As Jasper walked briskly from the sunroom to his study, he ruminated over everything that had happened in the last hour. He thought about Luna, her gift to him and the way her face fell when he rejected her gift.Unfortunately, he could not dwell on those thoughts for long because of Evans’ call. A frantic call from Evans meant only one thing- Bad news. “Imagine being tossed into another war, after just recently surviving the last one.” He thought to himself. As he entered the study and shut the door, his phone rang. “Hello Evans. What's up?” Jasper inquired with hitched breath.“Hi boss. I'm so sorry to bother you, but there's an emergency.”“What's going on, Evans? Have there been any new reprisal attacks on the company?” Jasper queried impatiently.“No boss. None at all. The emergency is not work related. It's about my father.” Evans blurted out. “He was rushed to the hospital. They think it might be a heart attack.” Evans, who was usually a pillar of confidence, sounded so ner

Sunlight spilled through the partially opened blinds of the window illuminating the edges of the room. The room was opulent, yet cold—much like its owner. Jasper stood by the window, his sharp profile framed against the morning light. His posture was rigid, his gaze fixed on the expanse of the estate grounds.Behind him, Luna was still asleep on the king-sized bed, her scent still wafting gently into Jasper's nostrils. Jasper was in deep in thoughts. A lot of thoughts were colliding in his head. Prevalent among them was the strange affection he had started developing for Luna. It was confusing to him. “What the hell is wrong with me?” He silently asked himself. His mind flashed back to his first encounter with Luna. The feeling of disgust he felt towards her was now dissipating. At first, he saw her as a nuisance who entangled herself with him for her own selfish gains. But now, those feelings of disgust were fading away and they were being replaced by a new undescribable feeling. “

The clock on the wall ticked louder than usual, filling the suffocating silence of the empty house.“Good day sir. You are home early” greeted Ariel, with confusion evident on her face. Her boss had never arrived home in the middle of a work day before. “Ariel, please I want you to think very carefully. Do you know any place where Luna might seek shelter?” Jasper asked with a worried tone. He tried to hide his worry, but he could only do so much.Ariel knew that Luna was probably with her sick mother. But she didn't want to divulge that information to Jasper. At least not yet. She was in a dilemma. “No sir. I don't know anybody or any place where she might be holed up in. She never talked about her private life, so I don't know whose house she might seek refuge in”Ariel said. She felt bad, lying to her boss was painful, especially after seeing the troubled look on his face. But she has no choice. Luna wanted to keep her sick mother out of the picture. And she decided to respect Luna

“Damn! Luna open the door. We need to talk” Jasper rasped. He had been knocking for ten minutes and Luna hadn’t opened the door again. His knuckles were throbbing. “I'm going to keep knocking until your neighbours intervene. Do you really want to be in the spotlight like that?” Jasper questioned. He was determined to hash out whatever issues he had with Luna.He raised his hand again to knock. Before his knuckle could make contact with the door, it was thrown open. An angry Luna stood on the other side of the door with her hair disheveled. She glared at Jasper. “What do you want from me? Leave me alone. I quit. I resign. I forfeit. Whatever terminology rocks your boat!” She retorted. Jasper's heart contracted. He felt a sharp pain. He was clearly hurt by her outburst. It felt like he was a predator that didn't know when to let up and walk away. However, he decided to overlook her outburst and his pain. “ Anything to repair this damage.” He swore silently to himself.“Can I at leas

The car was quiet. The only sounds were from the three inhabitants of the vehicle as they breathed in and out. Luke was paying close attention to the road, trying to navigate the way to the house. The rain made this a difficult feat. It was raining cats and dogs. Jasper and Luna sat in the back seats. Jasper was tapping away at his phone screen. He seemed busy.“He's probably catching up with some office duties which he has deferred.” Luna thought to herself. She looked outside through the window and saw the heavy downpour of rain battering the outside world. The weather reflected her mood. Jasper raised his head from his phone. He looked towards Luna. She seemed lost in thought. Her coat was pulled tightly around her, and her gaze was fixed on the sights outside the window. His heart ached at the sight. She looked so small, so alone.He put his phone away and reached for her right hand which was on the car seat. She jerked at the contact and looked at him shockingly. He smiled at h
