1. Mr Alex's proud bodyguard

Bugh! Luna's eyes, which had been closed as she waited for Adrian's kiss, suddenly opened wide when she saw her lover, Adrian, lying on the ground. As if not satisfied with seeing Adrian in pain from the blow Matteo had just landed, Matteo Vicenzo, Luna's bodyguard, rained more blows down on Adrian's stomach. "Teo, stop!" Luna Winterbourne screamed, managing to make Matteo stop his punches, his clenched fists halting in mid-air. The girl approached Adrian, who was struggling to sit up. Luna's touch on Adrian's bruised face was immediately rebuffed by her lover. "I've told you repeatedly not to bring your bodyguard when we meet! He always messes everything up!" Adrian growled before finally getting up slowly and leaving Luna. Luna's eyebrows knitted together; she herself did not know where Matteo had come from. The man appeared suddenly without the sound of his loafers. As far as Luna remembered, she had asked Matteo to wait for her in the car."Adrian, where are you going?" cal

2. Set up on the night of the engagement

"What happened to your face?" asked Emily when she saw Adrian's bruises."Luna's stupid bodyguard beat me up for no reason," Adrian lied, putting on an innocent expression, because there was no way he could admit to Emily that the bruises on his face were the result of him trying to kiss Luna, who was none other than Emily's half-sister. Emily would have been furious if she found out.The man sipped the drink Emily had ordered a few minutes before he arrived at the café where they were now.Across the table, Emily stared intently at her boyfriend's face. No matter how cold Matteo was, she didn't think he was the kind of mentally disturbed person who would attack anyone for no reason. Emily doubted Adrian's answer."You must be lying! You must have done something to provoke him," Emily insisted, her gaze full of suspicion.Adrian took a deep breath and exhaled slowly before finally admitting his mistake."All right, I'll admit it." Adrian put down the cup of coffee he had just sipped.

3. Woke up naked

"Bastard!" Matteo growled when he found himself sprawled on the floor, unaware of who had pushed him.The 32-year-old man staggered towards a bed, because even in his heavily intoxicated state, he knew that lying on a bed was much more comfortable than lying on the cold floor.Under the influence of the psychedelic drugs Adrian had slipped into his drink, Matteo began to hallucinate and feel euphoric when he saw the girl he liked asleep on the bed wearing only her underwear, while the beautiful dress that had been clinging to her body lay on the floor."Ah, Luna, I almost thought my hopes would be dashed tonight," Matteo muttered as he touched Luna's cheek, which was as smooth as Chinese porcelain. "It turns out I was wrong; you came and gave yourself completely to me! Now I realize my love is not unrequited!" In his hallucination, Matteo saw Luna as if she was very passionate about him, so he laughed heartily because of it."All right, look at this, baby," he muttered as he removed

4. Expelled

Overcome with anxiety, Luna finally answered her father's call to the living room, followed by Matteo, who also answered Alex's call.It turned out that Alex wasn't the only one there; Adrian and his parents, Robert Carter and Sarah Carter, were also present. Everyone in the room stared at Matteo and Luna with hatred in their eyes. Instantly, the atmosphere in the room felt heavy for Luna. "Why did you call me, Father?" asked Luna, who had no idea why Alex had called her. Luna's innocent expression immediately added to Alex's anger. "Don't play dumb in front of me!" Alex said, his hands clenched on his lap. "What do you mean, Father?" Luna's brow furrowed deeply; she really had no idea what her father was talking about. "You're still asking me what I mean?" Alex asked with a sharp sneer that made Luna's hair stand on end. It was the first time she had seen her father's terrifying expression. "Father saw you doing something inappropriate with Matteo last night." Luna's eyes widen

5. Did he take advantage of the opportunity?

All the guards at Winterbourne's residence stared at Luna, who had just left the house, with pitying looks, even though they knew Luna's actions were unjustifiable. "What a pity. Behind her beautiful face and kind demeanor all this time lies a rotten heart. Ugh, I even feel nauseous just seeing her walk past me," James muttered, covering his nose. The overweight security guard looked at Luna as if she were a disgusting piece of filth. Luna stopped for a few minutes and glanced at James. She did not expect that all the workers in her house, who had always respected her, would now look at her with contempt, not a shred of respect left for Luna. She had to accept the painful reality that all of this had happened because of a problem that she herself did not understand."Watch your mouth, James," said another guard standing not far from James. James just sighed wearily in response to his colleague's rebuke."You'd better think twice before reprimanding me, Noah. Don't tell me that you

6. Sincere intentions, or a ploy?

Luna's eyes slowly opened as the delicious aroma of cooking teased her sense of smell. Her empty stomach, which had not been filled since morning, protested, causing the girl to grimace as she clutched her stomach. She remembered that her breakfast that morning had consisted of nothing but insults and curses from her father and Sarah, which of course made her heart feel twisted again.Feeling lazy, she got up and walked towards the source of the delicious aroma. Her sense of smell led her to the kitchen. Holding onto the kitchen doorframe and blinking repeatedly to clear her vision, she tried to convince herself that her eyes were deceiving her. It was hard to believe, but she saw with her own eyes the large back of a man who was very familiar to her facing the lit stove while his hands skillfully played with the cooking utensils. Matteo, who had just noticed the sound of approaching footsteps, looked back from the corner of his eye. He found Luna, still sleepy, standing in the kitch

7. Your duties as a bodyguard are complete.

The sound of the television filled the silence between Matteo and Luna. Both pairs of eyes stared at the television with bored expressions, but each of them was busy delving into the other's thoughts. Luna, who felt tormented by the silence, finally cleared her throat and spoke up to break the silence."Is it cold outside?"The girl's words immediately made Matteo's dark eyes glance in her direction."I think so," Matteo replied briefly, before finally returning his gaze to the television, which was showing advertisements for everyday products.Luna snorted softly. Living with this man was really boring her. The girl was used to sharing stories with her father before that embarrassing incident. And after leaving the Winterbourne family residence and now living under the same roof with the expressionless and taciturn Matteo, it naturally made her miss the atmosphere of her home even more. Matteo glanced over again and found Luna propping her chin up with a sad expression on her face.

8. Her injured lip

"I can do it myself," protested Luna as Matteo was about to compress the wound on her lip with a handkerchief that had been soaked in ice water beforehand.Matteo's index finger landed right on Luna's lip, so the girl chose to remain silent. The man brought their faces closer together until there was only an inch between them, making Luna's eyes widen and her heart beat faster.Matteo carefully touched the wet handkerchief to Luna's lower lip, to a wound that did not seem serious. Unfortunately, the man's heart was beating fast, but he tried his best to put on a straight face to hide his nervousness.Luna, feeling awkward, moved her face back to create some distance from Matteo, but he grabbed her back so that she could no longer escape. Now their faces were so close that they could feel each other's breath. The scent of musk emanating from Matteo's body captivated Luna, so she closed her eyes and inhaled the scent to fill her lungs. What Luna did made Matteo feel awkward. Luna was

9. Be a friend

"Oh, I’m sorry if I’ve offended you again," said Luna with a hint of regret. "Forget it," replied Matteo in a bored tone, causing Luna to wince as her cheeky mouth kept uttering words that offended Matteo."You know, Matteo, I’m used to being surrounded by lots of people who pay attention to me. But since that incident, I really do feel like a worthless piece of rubbish!" lamented Luna. "In fact, even my closest friend has now distanced herself, because her parents have forbidden her from being friends with me. My world feels empty now." "You can make me your friend, Miss," replied Matteo, causing the girl to turn her head instantly. Hard to believe, but those were the very words that had just come from Matteo’s masculine lips!She wasn’t sure if Matteo was serious or not, but there was no harm in trying to be friends with him. Because he was the only man still by Luna’s side when everyone else had turned away."Thank you for the offer. But as a friend, you should call me by my name

10. Dark clouds are still chasing her

"Why did you only just answer my call?" Matteo shouted at the man on the other end of the line. Stefano Morgan—Matteo’s best friend and his right-hand man at Magnolia Spring Resort—frowned upon hearing his friend’s raised voice. "I've only just returned from the board meeting," replied Stefano, taking a deep breath afterwards. News that Alexander Winterbourne’s son had engaged in inappropriate behavior with his bodyguard had spread throughout LA, leading Stefano to suspect that Matteo’s unfriendly attitude was linked to the reports. “I’m sorry to hear about the trouble you’ve been through, Brother. But it’s not that bad; at least your face hasn’t been circulating on social media in connection with the story,” added Stefano, causing Matteo to snort on the other end of the line. The snort from the other end of the line immediately made Stefano frown. Could he have said something wrong? "Yes, Brother? Did I say something wrong?" Stefano scratched his head, which wasn’t itchy."Stefa
