All Chapters of Divorce didn't make me your ex: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

ACEI was reviewing the contract for my father-in-law's proposal, which had "magically" appeared on my desk this morning. Eduardo must have known I wouldn't refuse a request from Luna, not to mention the idea itself was very good, as expected of the Bexters.The real inconvenience was the idiotic smile that wouldn't leave my face, one of those you can't suppress even if you try. My assistant, Alfonso, had furrowed his brow every time he passed me since I arrived. All of this was due to the fact that Luna had completely taken possession of my mind. It was hard to concentrate on work when all I wanted was to repeat what we did about ten times in a row.The intercom on my desk rang."Mr. Montesino, your parents are on line two," Alfonso informed me."Transfer them," I replied, already leaning back in my chair with the phone to my ear. I always tell them to call me on my cell, but they say that when I'm at work, I never answer. And they are right.My mother's voice was the first to surfac

LUNAFriday night. Movie, blanket, hot chocolate, and Ace. Literally everything I needed after a tough week. We were actually watching the movie, really watching it. I was lying down, my head on his shoulder, and his hand was resting on my leg, making small circles with his thumb.Life was quiet, the way it only gets when everything feels... right.Until the doorbell rang.I sighed, thinking it was a neighbor, but the next second, I recognized Priscila's voice."Lunaaaa! Opeeen!"And, as if disaster wasn't enough on its own, Daniela enthusiastically completed:"We know you're in there! The doorman told us!"I jumped off the couch, muttering a quiet curse; it was all my fault for having given them access to come up anytime to make their visits easier and not make them wait downstairs like last time. I rushed to the door and unlocked the first lock, but left the security chain fastened. I opened it just enough to fit half my face into the gap."One minute!" I said, forcing a smile."Huh

LUNAWe were invited, and by invited, read "intimated with police authority," to sit on the couch. Ace and I were side by side, like two teenagers caught in the act, while Priscila locked the front door. Then, she went upstairs with determined steps to fetch Daniela.I was silent. Dead. Buried. And probably being spiritually mourned at this very moment."It would have been better if you had just told them," Ace said softly, crossing his arms."Now I agree," I murmured, unable to look at him."At least now you owe me a wish," he completed, with that "I told you so" tone that made me want to throw the cushion in his face.I scoffed."Okay. I really should have told you sooner, satisfied?""Indeed."Before I could retort with an acidic comment, we heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Daniela appeared rubbing her eyes, being dragged by Priscila's hand firmly clasped around her wrist.Both stopped in front of us. Priscila raised her finger as if presenting a criminal to the prosecution.

LUNAThe sound of the vibration woke me up. I blinked a few times, still half-asleep, and fumbled on the nightstand until I found Ace's cell phone. The lit screen showed a video call.His parents.My eyes widened. I thought about ignoring it, but... I took a deep breath, slid my finger to answer, and got up, going to the living room quietly so as not to wake him."Hello," I said, trying to sound as awake and presentable as possible."Luna!" an excited voice exclaimed. The image stabilized and Ace's mother appeared on the screen, beautiful as always, with her hair down and a smile that lit everything up. "I'm so glad it was you who answered! I'm so happy! How are you, dear?"Roger appeared next to his wife, smiling just as warmly."Hello, my daughter-in-law!" he greeted with an excited wave."Hi! I'm great," I replied with a genuine smile. Their energy was contagious."I'm very happy to hear that," Iris said, and then frowned, looking around the camera. "But... where are you? This livi

LUNAAce spent two full days between blankets, fever, and stubbornness until he started to feel better. And now, four days later, he was perfectly fine. Healthy, smiling, and mischievous as always. There was only one thing he still hadn't done.Tell me what his plans were.He said that tomorrow night, after work, he will finally use the wish he earned. But so far, he hasn't given any hints. No clues. Nothing. Just that damn smirk and that look of someone enjoying my desperation and curiosity.I'm being consumed by curiosity. And he knows it. He's feeding off it.I pushed those thoughts away with a sigh and turned off my computer screen. Monica appeared at the door with her badge hanging around her neck and a tablet in her hand."They are ready for the lecture," she announced with a half-smile.I nodded, standing up."Let's go then."I followed her to the company auditorium. The place was already almost full, and the panels behind the stage projected the event title and the names of th
