Chapter 21 ON THE ROOFROP

LUNETH"Oh wow, this is beautiful," I say as we step into what I would consider the most beautiful restaurant I have ever been to in my life.The exterior does not look like anything special or even give off any vibes that it might be, but the insides are beautiful to die for. A manager greets us but only with a slight head bow, and leads us past the common area to the elevator and takes us to the rooftop. Everything about this place, including the elevator, is glammed with opulence, the kind you can think is only fabricated in movies.Instead of ordinary steel metal for the elevator walls, it is painted gold to reflect the wealth oozing off this place. Somehow, even though I had felt overdressed earlier, I suddenly felt out of place again.Drexon's body grazes my shoulder slightly, and I try to ignore the fiery feeling it gives me as the door dings and opens to reveal a seated rooftop. It is an open space but gives off privacy to whoever would want it. I hear the sound of delicate mus

Chapter 22 PRICE OF PEACE

LUNETHThe dinner ended up being a success, at least according to my judgement, but we will have to wait to see what the public thinks of it first to conclude. We walk from the front door to the elevator in silence, the kind that we have grown accustomed to. It is not the kind that you want to break quickly; it is quiet but comfortable, and I am grateful for it.We step into the elevator and I quickly notice the contrast between this place and the restaurant we had been in. While the hotel was extremely beautiful, it stood no chance against the restaurant. I take a deep breath and my phone begins ringing again. I take it out from my purse and stare at it.I had been expecting that she would call back, but she did not immediately, even after I had cut off the call earlier. I knew very well that she would be foaming at the mouth with anger at my actions. She had never been subtle about wanting her daughter to have all the best things in life. She blocked me from attending an Ivy League,

Chapter 23 BEFORE DAWN

LUNETHI am not really an early morning person but to make sure that I was the kind of wife that Kellan would be proud of having, I woke up and forced myself out of bed when everywhere was still dark and even though that reality is way over me, I still wonder why I had gotten up before dawn and sat on the couch. I would have sworn to anyone that I had left that life behind me, and all was now over for me. I would have said that this was not supposed to affect my reality, and I was supposed to be still lying in bed.My mind had been racing with my conversation with Elena from yesterday; when I told her I was going to pay her off to leave me alone, she laughed and said she wondered how much I could give her that she could not get for herself. She told me to surprise her before she cut off the call.I had thought that flashing a few million her way would be the best way to get her to back off, at least for a while, because I know that she would not leave so early, but then I might be able

Chapter 24 FLESH BLOOD REPUTATIONS

PS: This is another dual POV. ENJOY!LUNETHThe run was tiring and made the hair stick to my body but truly while I ran out in the still morning air, I had nothing on my mind, no plot for revenge, and no thoughts on how I was going to survive because one thing I know was that Melissa was never okay with what she had; all she ever wanted was what I wanted."Here," Dexon extends a bottle of water to me. I look up at him, feeling my chest heave up and down on its own. "You are quite unhealthy," he said, sitting beside me.I look at him with a questioning look. I knew that I was unhealthy, but then must he point it out? "Well, I beg to differ; I think you, who ran without getting tired, are the strange one.""We ran for ten minutes," he said as if it were some discovery."And I made it," I reply. The air between us is not as tense as it always is; it is not serious but light, and I like this. I wish this were what my life was, getting married, not because there was a reputation to uphold,

Chapter 25 JUST LIKE BEFORE

LUNETHI stepped out of the bathroom to see that the room was empty. I didn't know why I felt disappointed to see that Drexon had left the room already. I changed into some comfortable clothes and took my phone, settling into the couch. My legs were sore, but I knew that since I decided to exercise, my legs would be hurting because it's been years since I last did anything close to an exercise.I ordered some food to fill up my empty stomach; running really did make me hungry and while I waited for the meal to be delivered to the room, I scrolled through social media.I wanted to see what the photographer had posted about us but I could not find a single image. I began to think that maybe he had just not gotten around to it yet but as much as I tried to convince myself that was the case, I could not help but get a bad feeling about it all.I know that cases with people like Drexon did not waste time to climb the news, and it was supposed to be the trending topic, but it seemed like it

Chapter 26 SILK AND THORNS

LUNETHAs soon as I heard that something had happened, all my plans to take Drexon somewhere fun were thrown out the window."When I get back to the city, I will let you know and we can meet up," I lie because I know that is the only way that Lucy would let me get off the line with her."Do you promise?" she asks as if she is reading my mind."Of course," I try to make sure that my voice is as believable as possible so she can let me go."Okay then, I guess," the line cut off, and I sat down trying to figure out what had gone wrong all of a sudden. Judging from what Lucy said and Drexon's coldness to me, I knew that something I could not help had happened. It felt like it had been years ago when we had been running side by side and teasing each other but now it felt like I was thrown into an iced lake that was about to give way.Drexon emerged a little later with a grey t-shirt and cream-coloured corduroy pants. He stood looking sharp, like he was about to do a photoshoot for a fashion

Chapter 27 ALL BARK, NO BITE

DREXONI had spoken to my Henry, but we had not found a way to make Luneth look better. It seemed as if someone was adamant about dragging her name through the mud by all means. I knew the best thing was to take down the pictures and start again, and Henry also thought that was the best thing to do. I was angry that Melissa would be against this; maybe she and her mother had done this, but I was not the kind to call and confront without evidence, and I did not think, and the next thing I knew, I was talking to Melissa."Brother-in-law," she shrieked as if we had been buddies playing up until today. "I am so glad that you called me; I have been trying to call Luneth but she is not picking up my calls." I think she is lying but that is not the reason I am calling her and even worse, I know very well that I am not supposed to be speaking to her at all."What are you doing?""Oh well, I did not think you'd ask me something like that but okay." She sounded saucy and smacked her lips. "Kella

Chapter 28 WE CAN SHARE YOURS

LUNETHIt's another fancy restaurant, and I am thrilled. Maybe one of the upsides to this marriage is that I get to visit places where I could never have been invited to. The Moreaux family had money, but Drexon controlled all of it. Kellan had never proved himself enough so that Drexon could trust him to entrust anything to him. I had been the one who helped him get to his feet and start a business. If Kellan had been the one doing the numbers for the business, he would have run it to the ground in a few days."This is beautiful. I have to say there are a lot of beautiful things out there; it's a pity I am only just getting to see them." He looks up at me and nods."Well, you have so much time to see more." His words sound like a promise to me. It's almost like he was telling me that he would show me the world, and I can see as many beautiful things as I want to see. I hoped it was true; I deeply hoped it was true for the life of me. I hope I am quick to change my fate and that I do n

Chapter 29 THE WOMAN YOU DID NOT EXPECT

LUNETHDrexon's actions throw me off for a second, but I quickly find my balance and continue as if he had not just set off a storm inside me."What do you say we go now?" I ask because I want to walk out and clear my mind of everything happening there. He looks at me as if the words from my mouth made no sense, almost as if he is expecting that I say something about what he had done."Okay," he responds after a short silence. He took one quick eye sweep around the restaurant, maybe to be sure that the photographers he had paid to hide in plain sight had done their jobs, and then it hit me. The touch on my lips had been so random, and they were not from a place of emotions; it was all a play. This was a setup. He did it to raise the stakes.I stand up before he can, and then he has no choice but to do so as well. We walked towards the entrance where they had taken our coats when we first came in. We retrieved our coats, and I swear from the corner of my eye, I saw something. It's stran

Chapter 30 OLD MAN MY MAN

DREXONMelissa's laughter was loud and cynical in an annoying way. She was laughing at Luneth's declaration."Oh, please, you just got married to an old man." Her words were not something I was used to. Being called by an old man because I was ten years older did not seem right."Old man?" Luneth stuttered with shock on her face."Yes, old man." Melissa's body language has changed in so many ways. She had first acted as if she was sorry for her actions and then as if Luneth was being too cruel by saying she was not going to forgive her, but now it was all strange; it was almost as if she was proud."I mean, I wondered what got over you all of a sudden. Kellan is a much better catch anyway," she shot out with a malicious tone.Luneth looked like she had a lot to say, but she was holding back because I was standing there. I wanted to tell her to say whatever it was she had on her mind and not bother about me; however, I knew that right now was not the time to be sorting out differences.
