Todos os capítulos de She Was His Obsession. Now She's Everyone's: Capítulo 11 - Capítulo 20

Less than twenty-four hours after securing the Ford family's survival from Ethan's ruthless corporate dismantling, Luna sits at a secluded corner table of a high-end rooftop restaurant, waiting.By the time Jade Ford finally steps onto the sun-drenched terrace, looking exhausted and strung tight, Luna has already curated the table with meticulous, invisible precision. Every single dish resting on the white linen is something she had quietly confirmed is on the heiress's list of absolute favorites.Jade stops at the edge of the table, her eyes darting defensively from the elaborate spread to Luna's perfectly composed face."You called me here to gloat," Jade says, her voice brittle with stress. "Just get it over with. My family is drowning. I can take your mockery.""Sit down, Jade," Luna replies, lifting a crystal pitcher to pour a glass of iced water. "I didn't call you here to mock you. I called you here to apologize."Jade sits down slowly, staring at the woman across from her as i

The bruised purple sky slowly bleeds into pitch black as Luna navigates the winding, desolate highway, carrying them further away from the glittering skyline of the city.For the past hour, the suffocating silence inside the luxury sedan has only been broken by the occasional, distant headlights of passing cars."We are out of gas."Luna taps the brakes, pulling the vehicle onto the gravel shoulder. She shifts into park and kills the engine.The silence that follows is deafening.Marcus stares at her, his jaw clenching so hard a muscle feathers dangerously along his cheek.He is supposed to be walking the red carpet at the most exclusive charity gala of the season in less than an hour. He is an A-list actor and the pampered second son of the Vane dynasty. If he fails to show up, the morning tabloids will mercilessly crucify him for acting like an arrogant, untouchable diva."What are we supposed to do?" Luna asks, turning to him with wide, doe-like eyes, perfectly manufacturing a look

The Vane estate in the early hours of the morning feels like a domestic mausoleum, wrapped in the suffocating quiet of old money.Stella is at the front door.When the convoy finally stops, she practically flies down the stone steps. Her face lights with relief, only for it to shatter into frozen confusion the moment Luna steps out of the trailing vehicle."Mrs. Caldwell," Luna offers a polite, measured nod, her tone warm enough to be civil, yet entirely untroubled enough to be absolutely infuriating.Stella doesn't answer. Her eyes dart past the woman who ruined her morning directly to Marcus, taking in his flushed skin. The practiced, elegant composure Stella usually wears completely dissolves, leaving behind a terrified, fragile younger sister."Marcus!" Stella's voice cracks, thick with unshed tears as she reaches for his face. "You're burning up. Come inside, the doctor is already waiting in the sitting room.""It's just a fever, Stel. Your brother's constitution is perfectly fin

The penthouse bedroom of the boutique hotel is everything the rest of Harlow isn't—quiet, neutral, entirely hers. No history in these walls. No one who knew her at fifteen. It is now saturated with the heavy, intoxicating heat of a long-overdue reunion, the air thick with the hushed rustle of tangled silk sheets and the ragged, desperate cadence of Julian's breathing.He is a man entirely, blissfully consumed, his large hands tracing the delicate curve of Luna's waist with a fierce, worshipful reverence as he presses soft, burning kisses down the elegant column of her throat. Having endured what felt like an agonizing eternity apart from her, Julian's singular, tunnel-visioned focus is entirely devoted to the woman beneath him. He holds her as though she is simultaneously the most precious artifact in existence and an absolute, visceral necessity he is starving to devour.Yet, even within this temporary paradise, the outside world possesses a persistent, irritating habit of bleeding t

Stella steps into the brightly lit space, carrying a leather-bound script and an air of quiet exhaustion.The dressing room smells faintly of aerosol hairspray and fresh espresso, a sterile environment. Stella is reaching into her designer tote for her phone when the wide vanity mirror catches the reflection of Luna stepping out from behind the changing screen. Her composure is flawless—except for the faint, unmistakable smudge of coral lipstick feathered just past the edge of her lip line.Earlier that morning, Stella had observed Julian dropping Luna off at the studio lot. Watched them through the production van window—the way he'd leaned across the console, the way she'd laughed at something before she got out. Easy and warm and entirely real.Something had loosened in Stella's chest at the sight of it.Luna's moved on. The thought had arrived with more relief than Stella expected. She's happy. She doesn't want him."Your lipstick," Stella says softly, raising a slender finger to t
