The car door opened slowly, and a man came out of it. The man is dressed in a neat black suit with a white shirt and a dark blue tie.
The black leather shoes looked clean and well-groomed. His face showed calmness and confidence as if he was used to this kind of situation.
Going to an event under the guise of a family meeting is just a mode of covert business meetings and show-offs, making him lazy in fact.
One of the mandatory guests is none other than Luna and the important figure this time—by bringing Lucas along with him—will be the first debut for Lucas to show Luna that she has not chosen the wrong partner.
Their hands interlocked after they got out of the vehicle and let the valet parking their car into place.
"Are you ready?" Luna whispered next to her eyebrows.
Makeup blood with maroon lipstick, her eyebrows are styled in such a way as an arrow bow. Further strengthening the character of Luna's beautiful face so that it looks like a female alpha.
No less charming when compared to the beautiful woman he brought, Lucas was like the imaginary man of every woman from the magazine.
Luna also deliberately hired a makeup artist who is usually done by artists for their special looks to make them appear more than their usual days.
Luna sniffed the scent of masculine perfume Chosen by Lucas himself.
"Something wrong?" it was Lucas' turn to wonder about Luna's behavior. What her appearance lacks in the eyes of such independent women.
"I have to praise your choice of perfume, and the makeup artist admitted that you have a good sense of style." Praise Luna sincerely.
"It's illegal for me to embarrass you. My taste is not bad, it's just my empty wallet to style like you," Lucas replied.
The moon is smooth. With life difficulties and also a lack of money all this time Lucas did a lot of work for the sake of life is quite clear that Lucas is not a fashion blind man, as long as he saw the simple appearance of the man, he never looked geeky despite buying discount clothes.
Lucas lowers his voice deliberately so that Luna alone can hear the private chat between the two of them.
"If this time your assessment of me is good. Do you want to help me find that guy?" whispered Lucas.
Luna smiled obliquely with her blushing lipstick at Lucas ' pleas.
"As long as you are satisfactory on the show this time, I can consider it. I'm not in a position you can command anyway."Luna replied a little haughtily.
The steps of the contract marriage couple waltzed into the meeting room always with Luna forced to attend.
There were four figures known by Luna already sitting in their respective places.
On the left, there is a married couple who believe Luna's paternal uncle and aunt. The gaze of both of them immediately interpreted the gaze of the enemy who was preparing to throw something from their mouths to discuss on the dinner table.
Her aunt was Ellen and her husband was Terry. Terry prefers indifference to the look of his enthusiasm while Aunt Ellen looks to have prepared his appearance for this event carefully. Her hair was styled higher to give the illusion that her head was growing so it reminded Luna of a quirky hairstyle from a magazine.
Luna knows enough if Ellen always appears not to be outdone by her niece who has successfully built a career.
The man with the brightest smile in that place is Patrison, Luna's unexpected father and another one is an old man not far from her Jeano.
Luna's cousin often whines to get an important job in the company that Luna has built. Despite the success of his work Jeano is more like a rat who wants to undermine the company with a brother label. Just imagining it is detrimental enough for Luna.
Of course, he doesn't want to work with people who have narcissistic traits.
Lucas could see the way Luna smiled, dragging her hand closer and closer to him.
Luna confirmed to all the eyes that saw her with Lucas as if she said out loud that she had brought a pawn strong enough to stand by herself.
Luna has just announced the impromptu of her core family if she already has a boyfriend and will get married soon to avoid a covert business relationship under the pretext of marriage.
Lucas began to follow the game. Pulling the corners of the lips up with the eyes form a crescent.
A smile on display. Lucas was able to capture their aversion to the presence of a strange man like him there.
But where he cares, His existence is Luna's decision entirely if Luna who asked him to go himself will go voluntarily and not because people are now looking at him with a cynical look that can drive him away.
"Well. You ordered food, yes." Sindir Luna while sitting comfortably in an empty chair.
Lucas easily catches that they don't appreciate Luna. Order a menu that only they like, before the person concerned with this meeting regroups. It's not like this is not considered—if Luna is not needed for an opinion, just food for herself—then why should the woman be forced to attend this small event?
"Our guests arrived late. Let's order the menu first." Rebuttal uncle from Luna immediately took a snack on his right side.
"You're not eating? The dissertation is good." Show Aunt Ellen to Luna immediately to eat the menu served so that they immediately change to other menus.
Luna glanced with an eye tail towards her empty glass.
Patrison who was sensitive about it immediately told the waiter who was there.
"Please fill the drink only for my daughter." Luna's father said showing a smile as if Banga on him could have sensitivity to his daughter.
The waiter was seen ignoring Lucas's empty glass obeying the owner's orders.
"Please also don't pour it on my husband because I'm not the only one here." His eyes glanced to his left side where Lucas was. Give the waiter the code.
Luna's actions do not let the people there ignore the existence of Lucas feels disgusted at those who are still stubborn, to discuss cooperation with his downfall.
Those there who seem motionless if Luna has taken out her fangs are ready to devour anyone who dares to intersect with her.
The young man named Jeano has been watching the new couple open their voices.
"So he's the guy you chose? Your relationship was sudden. You're sure that man isn't after your treasure," he sneered directly at Lucas. "It's not better, Hugo." He continued adding by looking away.
Lucas himself is still focused on his dish and is not so interested when the steak into his mouth.
Staring at Jeano the younger man stared with a sharp gaze.
"I'm sorry if I don't fit your image. But Luna knows me very well and she can't bring herself to."Lucas' grin seemed to give the meaning of mocking back Jeano.
Place a fork and knife on the edge of the plate. "We've known each other for a long time and I heard that there are people who make my Luna uncomfortable, so I have to become her husband soon, right? So I can protect her." An implicit statement from Lucas's gaze.
"No one here even knows you're dating. So how can we be sure you're a good man?" this statement was made by his father-in-law.
Lucas couldn't answer.
"The decision we have taken we have thought carefully and indeed we have been hiding our relationship that feels sudden."
"The danger of what? We are her family and Luna is safer in her extended family."The look on Aunt Luna's face impatiently grabbed Lucas as a victim.
"But Luna herself is not a child can be arranged. What if his family can not respect the opinion of girls in his family?" Lucas threw the question to Luna.
Turning to her side, Luna smiled faintly while sipping water in a diamond-shaped glass.
"Listen to yourself, right? The guy I brought in just knew I'd grown up."Luna's laughter sounded circus.
There was silence as one room glanced sarcastically at Lucas. There was a grunt from an older man there.
"So this is the man you married suddenly, rather than the insider from LH Tower? Hudo is a good man, he has a big stake to help take care of that little company of yours."
No one noticed the faint smile of Lucas who wanted to laugh at Hugo's exaggerated praise.
'Why do you glorify that child? But don't worry, I'll take what you have from him. Thought Lucas preparing to launch the action.
"Ketimang Huko I know the man next to me and that made my company almost bankrupt, right Dad?" Luna with her swooping eyebrows looked sharply at her father.
"Which is more believable? Now I'm married and I can't make a harem with Hugo. Isn't that so? It's about the stock you sold without my knowledge. I'll fix your mistake. Dad."
Luna again draped the chain strap of her bag over her shoulder. "Now we are busy."
Luna linking her hand to Lucas's arm looks natural.
"My wife is busy. Thank you for the time my wife and I will be busy with the honeymoon first," Lucas said grabbing Luna's hand to say goodbye from the wrong event.
"Luna! You have to be here first, Hugo is coming!" Aunt Ellen shouted, commanding that neither Luna nor Lucas took any notice.
The two of them came out of the room with relief that they had been able to pass it, even though it was the last time they had to see the decadent drama.
"How was I?" asked Lucas full of curiosity about Luna's opinion of him.
Lucas and Luna let go of their arms. Luna paused for a moment with a smile looking at Lucas before returning they walked towards the exit.
"Your acting is pretty good. You're such an educated man, you know. My father was a man who would observe his opponent before attacking. Turns out he ran out of ammo to fight you because you haven't given him a crack."Luna laughed contentedly.
"Dan... ." Luna stopped in front of Lucas, they were facing each other. "Thank you for listening to Jeanne.
Lucas stroked Luna's hair slowly. "That's my job. Now can you find the man I'm talking about?"
"I don't guarantee that I can bring him in front of you because he's a hard person to find, but that doesn't mean I can't, yeah."
Now they walk down the stairs to the street.
Lucas caught the figure of someone he might know. The man who just got out of the black car in his formal style walked into the hotel.

Latest Chapter
Eyes
Lucas stood by the window in his study, staring blankly outside. His heart was filled with an anxiety that grew more consuming each day. For a week now, he had been receiving anonymous messages threatening him and watching his every move. The messages came relentlessly, leaving him constantly uneasy and vigilant.“Watch every step you take, Lucas. I am watching.”The first message came via SMS, then through email, and occasionally, a note was slipped under his door. None of these messages were ignored; each one made him feel more and more threatened. His wife, Luna, had nearly been hit by a speeding car with no license plate. Fortunately, Luna only suffered minor injuries, but the incident left Lucas terrified. He couldn’t bear the thought of losing his loved ones due to these unknown threats.Lucas's study was filled with work files scattered across his desk. He sat in his chair, gripping a pen tightly. In front of him was a list of names of people who might hold a grudge against him
Stalker
Lucas sat beside Luna’s bed, holding her hand tightly. Relief that Luna would be okay mixed with a boiling anger inside him after reading the threatening message. That’s when his phone rang again. Lucas quickly answered it, hoping it was good news from Joe.“Joe, any updates?” Lucas asked urgently.On the other end of the line, Joe sighed deeply. “Lucas, we couldn’t identify who sent the terror box. No fingerprints or other identifiable clues. But I’m taking the leftover food in the box to the lab. Maybe we can find DNA traces or origins of the food.”Lucas gripped the phone tightly. “Do whatever it takes, Joe. We need to find out who’s behind this. I can’t let these threats continue.”“Alright, Lucas. I’ll report back as soon as we have something,” Joe said before hanging up.Lucas took a deep breath, trying to calm himself. But before he could feel any real relief, his phone buzzed with a new message. He opened it, and his face immediately paled.[You think you can find me? Joe won
Afraid
Lucas sat at the end of the large conference table, facing the projection screen that displayed complex graphs about the company's performance. Joe, who always accompanied him, sat beside him, monitoring the reactions of the meeting participants.In the midst of the serious presentation, Lucas's luxurious phone rang. The dark screen of the phone displayed a picture of Bianca, his ex-girlfriend, in a very private moment with him. Lucas felt his heart rate quicken as a threatening message came in.[You might want to watch over that fragile reputation of yours. I can tell Luna, you know.]Joe, sensitive to his boss's expression, noticed the tension on Lucas's face. He hummed quietly, trying to ease the tension."Is everything okay?"Lucas closed his eyes briefly, trying to calm himself. "Yes, it's nothing. Just an unimportant message from a vendor. Continue with the presentation, Joe."Joe nodded, although his concern was still evident. He knew something was wrong but didn't want to make
Gift for the beauty
The door to the room opened, and a doctor walked in. "Sorry to interrupt, but we have good news. After the latest examination, Grandma Martha's condition has stabilized, and she can go home today," he said with a warm smile.Everyone in the room, including Maggie, looked relieved and happy. "Oh, thank you, Doctor. This is truly wonderful news," Maggie said, holding back tears of joy.Luna hugged Lucas tightly. "This is really great news. I'm so happy," she whispered.Lucas smiled but felt a bit awkward as the situation changed so quickly. "Yes, this is good news," he replied with a stiff smile.Due to the sudden excitement, the moment to give the necklace was postponed. Everyone was busy with hospital administration and preparing to bring Martha home.***Lucas and Luna finally had a moment to talk. "Luna, I want to continue something that was interrupted at the hospital earlier," Lucas said, taking the necklace box out of his pocket again.But just as he was about to speak, Luna's ph
Family
The next day, Lucas woke up feeling calmer. He decided to call Luna again, this time intending to resolve their issues without emotional outbursts.“Luna?” Lucas called when the phone was answered. “I want to talk.”“Lucas, I want to talk too,” Luna replied in a calmer voice. “I'm sorry about yesterday. I should have left a clearer message.”“No, Luna. I should also apologize. I should have been easier to reach. We both can learn from this,” Lucas said, trying to soothe the situation.“I agree,” Luna said. “We need to communicate better. I don't want misunderstandings like this again. At least you need to be responsible for letting me know where you are,” Luna reprimanded.Lucas smiled, even though Luna couldn't see it. “When are you coming home?”“I'll be back as soon as I finish my business here.”“How about I come to your place right now? At least I can properly introduce myself to your family.”“Are you sure?” Luna hesitated on the other end.“Yes, I'll come over.”“Alright, I'll
This Woman's Anger
After spending time with Bianca by the beach, Lucas felt relaxed. The cool sea breeze and the soothing sound of the waves calmed him.The taxi driver, a middle-aged man with a friendly smile, nodded as Lucas got into the taxi. They began their journey to the luxury hotel in the city center.However, shortly after they started moving, the taxi suddenly stopped with the engine dying in the middle of heavy traffic. Lucas sighed, slightly annoyed.“Sorry, sir. It seems the car broke down,” the driver said apologetically.Lucas nodded. “Try starting it again; it might work.” Lucas hoped it was still possible to continue the journey. The driver assured him he would do his best to get Lucas to his destination.Lucas nodded and took out his phone. “Try starting it again. I’ll call my colleague.” The driver tried several times without success. Meanwhile, Lucas dialed Joe’s number and waited for the call to connect.“Hello, Joe? It’s Lucas,” Lucas said when Joe answered the call.“Hey, Lucas. Y
