Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Mute Mate: Moonlight and Betrayal : Kabanata 41 - Kabanata 50

After seeing the picture sent from the unknown number, Fiona placed her phone on the table and continued with what she was doing. She didn't want to think about anything concerning Michael nor Prisca so she drowned herself with work.With Louis's help, the bakery was transformed in just a few hours, thanks to their meticulous efforts. Afterwards, Louis offered to drive her to Kelvin's school to pick him up, and she readily accepted.It was easier to do that than to wait to board a taxi, leading to the unnecessary waste of money. After she picked Kelvin from his school, Louis drove them back to the mansion."Thank you so much for today. The workload would have been more hectic for me if not for your help." Fiona thanked sincerely as she stared at the mansion's huge gate before them."It's fine. Just make sure to let me know whenever you need help with anything. I'm just a phone call away." Louis said with a small assuring smile."I will," Fiona answered as she climbed out of the car wi

As Fiona stirred from slumber the next morning, she discovered she was in a room she'd longed to occupy three years prior. The familiar walls brought back memories of her intense encounter with Michael the previous night. Despite being freshly bathed and clothed, she felt a lingering sense of disgust and self-loathing. She couldn't shake the feeling of being compromised, having succumbed to Michael's desires not once but twice despite her determination to maintain control over her life. Two times, he had seduced her and two times, she couldn't resist him. It was like she had no control over her actions or her body. She was ravaged last night and she enjoyed it despite trying not to. She couldn't even fight the powerful bond that tied them together—so how did she expect to escape him? No matter how hard she tried to distance herself or let go of the life they once shared, her efforts always crumbled with a single touch. Just one brush of his fingers against her skin was enough to s

《One week ago》Initially, Michael had planned to go back to Fiona after he finishes with the work he had at the office when he suddenly received a call from Prisca. After a moment's hesitation, he reluctantly answered the call, and as soon as he pressed the phone to his ear, he was met with her anguished voice, laced with pain and desperation, calling out to him.His initial lack of enthusiasm quickly disappeared and he rushed down to her house only to see her lying on the bed and rolling in pain. He rushed to her side and crouched next to her."What's wrong??" He asked as he stared at her in concern."My head.. it hurts so much.." She moaned out, her face etched in pain."It's just a headache, have you taken any drugs?" He asked as he rubbed his forehead in frustration. He hoped that she didn't make him rush down here all because of a mere headache."It isn't just a headache. I've taken different medications but the pain only got worse." She complained bitterly as she stared at him

Her eyes widened when she realized the surprise Michael was talking about. He had finally lifted his restrictions, allowing Tacha to return home!"Oh my God!!" Fiona muttered as she slapped her hands over her mouth. Her eyes seemed like they were about to pop out of their sockets.It felt like a dream to her. Her dearest friend was finally back!! Michael had let her come back home!! She couldn't control her emotions anymore so she ran towards Tacha and threw her arms around her happily.Tacha was caught off guard at first but she quickly regained her composure and hugged Fiona back. Seeing them hug made Michael jealous but he kept his emotions in check. He couldn't ruin this day for her.He had hoped for a smile from her today, but it was still elusive; instead, her joy was reserved for Tacha's return, not the gesture he'd made. The realization stung, but he chose to give her space, allowing time to heal the wounds between them.He couldn't just jump into their conversation and start

《The next day》A soft yawn escaped Fiona's mouth as her eyes opened, and she blinked, taking in the unfamiliar space, her mind slowly registering that she was in her new home.She was about to sit up on the bed when a pounding headache hit her all of a sudden. She groaned in pain as she held her head in her palms.She had drank so much yesterday despite warning herself not to because she was with Kelvin. She didn't even know how she was able to find her way to her new house.She rubbed her temple as she tried to remember what had happened the night before. She remembered drinking so much and then leaving the restaurant with Kelvin.She stumbled drunkenly with Kelvin by her side to her new house. Suddenly, she got vague memories of someone gently tucking her to bed. Her eyes widened in fear as she wondered if someone had followed them back home.She tried so hard to remember who it was but it seemed more like a dream than reality to her so she left it as that. Maybe the aftermath of th
