Semua Bab She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's: Bab 111 - Bab 120

By the time they pull into the estate, Julian is already waiting at the front entrance.He wraps an arm around Luna with deliberate possessiveness, glaring at Ethan over her shoulder."I made all your favorites. Eat first."Ethan's expression darkens—until Luna pulls back and grabs his arm."Are you trying to catch pneumonia standing in the wind?"His menace evaporates instantly into something frail and pitiful. "The wind's making me dizzy.""Come inside."Inside, Julian slams a water glass onto the table hard enough to splash over the rim.Luna feeds Ethan his medication. He stays silent through it until she strokes his hair, and only then swallows obediently."Out of water," Ethan notes afterward, shaking the empty glass and looking straight at Julian. "Be a good guess and pour me another glass."A vein rises in Julian's neck, but he pours it anyway, jaw locked, while Ethan rests his head against Luna's shoulder and shoots him a look of pure triumph."Go to sleep early since you too

Dinner that night is anything but peaceful."You're pregnant?" Mrs. Vane's fork clatters against her plate. "Stella just announced hers, and now you suddenly have news too? How convenient.""Six weeks," Nathan says evenly, placing a bowl of soup in front of Luna.Gerald looks up. "Enough."His tone leaves no room for argument. Whatever his opinion of Luna, the woman carrying the first Vane grandchild deserves the family's protection.Mrs. Vane bites back the rest of her complaints, but by the following afternoon, Luna's pregnancy is still weighing on her mind as she accompanies Stella through an upscale maternity boutique."We'll take two of those," she says, gesturing toward the sales associate."Two?" Stella frowns. "The baby's not even that far along yet, Mom, no need to stock up this fast.""One set's for your sister-in-law. She's pregnant too.""Pregnant?" Stella blinks, the word landing strangely.She files the surprise away to ask about later, but her mother is already moving t

Having officially relocated to a sprawling villa in the exclusive Clearwater Point, Luna leans back against the velvet sofa, her eyes lazily tracking the tall, broad-shouldered silhouette moving clumsily around the open-concept kitchen.Because the estate's sole housekeeper requested an emergency leave of absence for the week, Luna had fully intended to order a catered meal from a high-end restaurant. However, Nathan volunteered to prepare their dinner himself.Watching the corporate titan aggressively wrestle with a cutting board and a handful of organic vegetables, Luna arches a skeptical brow, genuinely doubting whether anything edible will emerge from that kitchen tonight.The doorbell cuts through the quiet.Before she can rise, Nathan abandons the vegetables, wiping his hands on a towel as he strides to the door."I'll get it. You rest."She lets herself be treated like glass, picking up her phone instead—another message from Alex Pierce, his persistence bordering on desperate l

A month passes before Mrs. Vane's birthday gala forces them back to the estate."Stella, your sister-in-law is speaking to you," Nathan warns.Stella turns away, ignoring Luna entirely.A month of isolation from both brothers, all because of this woman—why offer her respect?"It's fine, Nathan," Luna murmurs, the picture of forgiveness.Stella's nails dig into her palms. Luna provokes her constantly in private, then performs victimhood the second the brothers are watching."The moment you walk in, you berate your sister?" Gerald snaps at his son."Happy birthday, Mom." Nathan drops a gift box on the table, gripping Luna's hand. "We're leaving.""Wait—" Mrs. Vane, panicking over the gossip, turns her reprimand on her daughter instead. "Stella, you're about to be a mother. Don't be rude to your sister-in-law."Stella's jaw drops."Exactly," Marcus adds, swirling champagne. "Bad manners are terrible for prenatal development. Keep it up and your child will be just as unlikable as you.""M

Stella traces the gold rim of her teacup, a highly satisfied smile playing on her lips.She has just signed the final share transfer agreement, placing her portion of the Vane empire securely into Ethan's capable hands.As expected, Nathan wastes no time tracking her down to confront her."You are an absolute fool," Nathan sneers. "You hand over your only piece of leverage, and you are still sitting here counting the money for the man who played you. Let's see exactly how long Ethan stays with you now that you are useless.""You are just bitter because you can never have Luna's heart, so you assume everyone else is as miserable as you," she snaps back, casually gesturing for the estate manager to escort him out. "Ethan has been incredibly devoted to me and our baby. I know exactly what true love looks like."Nathan lets out a low chuckle. "Then enjoy playing the perfect Mrs. Caldwell and the untouchable Vane heiress...while it lasts."His parting smile sends a cold, inexplicable shive
