COURTED?
"Uncle?" Christian groaned, dragging a hand through his hair. "What'll be even there in between me and her?"Liliana raised an eyebrow and smirked. "That’s exactly what we want to know, sweetheart, why don't you tell us?" "I mean, we thought you were just being polite to her before out of humanity," Betty added, folding her arms. "But this? Clothes? Shoes? Watches? Even perfume, this is way too much for politeness or humanity, isn't it?" "Perfume?" Christian repeated with a confused face.Charles grinned enjoying teasing Christian, "Oh yes, not just any perfume, limited edition, and imported, very rare to find, scents of temptation, looks like she knew more about your taste than us...." Lord Sargent let out a sigh, though a soft smile betrayed his amusement. "Enough now, you’re making him sweat, don't make fun of him...." Liliana chuckled, linking her arm through her father's. "Oh come on, Dad, let us have our fun with him, it’s not every day our Chrissy gets courted like a royal
SHE WHAT?
"Dre... Dream?" Luna stammered still being terrified of scenarios that played before her a few minutes back.Christian nodded his head while gently wiping off the sweat beads from her forehead with his handkerchief, "Yeah, you're mumbling of something like I didn't hurt her... I didn't hurt you, about whom you're talking about?" Luna looked pale being caught off guard, but trying her best to act normal, she lied, "Nothing..."Christian didn’t respond right away, he was watching her closely. Her face, though composed on the outside, trembled ever so slightly, her hands clenched the hem of her sleeve, and her voice had cracked as if her lie was too fragile to carry the weight of her fear."Nothing?" He repeated gently. "You're crying, Luna, you're trembling and looking all terrified, in a situation like this, how can you say it's nothing?""It's truly nothing Chris, when it's nothing, what else can I even say? Just listen to me, I don't have anything to say, a nightmare which I couldn
I DIDN'T HURT HER
"I don't kn... know..." Luna stammered trying to hold back the anxiety and nervousness deep in her heart, "I don't know what you're talking about...." Rosaline chuckled, "really? I thought we both knew each other so well... Too deep... Too strong... By any chance, don't you remember me?" Luna’s breath caught, but she didn’t move, Rosaline’s smile was polite, almost too perfect, "Come on, it's only two of us, why are you still trying to hide?" "You’re wrong!" Luna snapped, her voice trembling with panic. "I’m not whoever you think I am! Why are you annoying me? I did nothing... I know nothing.... Stop bothering me and leave me alone..." "Funny, isn’t it?" She continued. "How people wear new names, new faces… hoping the past won’t find them, but the past always clings, even if you lie, your memory doesn't lie, my memory doesn't lie, you remember each and everything from the past, don't you.... Luna? Or maybe I should call you with a different name? Maybe the real name of yours, shou
I WASN'T TRYING TO HIDE ANYTHING
"What did you say?" Christian asked, furrowing his brows to concentrate on what Luna has said.Luna held the folder a bit too tightly being stiff in her seat. "I asked… are you really that close to Ms. Valemire?" She repeated, her tone colder than intended. "According to Oliver, she’s too protective of you, but as far as I know, you were close to no one but Mia back then, so, from where Ms. Valemire came all of a sudden to be that close to you?" Christian blinked. "Ms. Valemire?" He gave a short laugh. "Why are you addressing her like that? Do you know her family that well?" Luna’s face turned a little pale because of what Christian had said, she looked down, her silence lingering just a moment too long, "I… I just heard people mentioning her family name, that's it." "I see," Christian said slowly, observing her and her expression. "Rose... I mean, Ms. Rosaline and I aren’t that close… at the same time, it’s not like we’re strangers either, it’s kind of mixed to explain." He scrat
WELL-WISHER?
"Luna…"The sudden voice from behind startled her.She had been so deep in her thoughts that the sudden sound of her name sliced through the silence like a blade. Luna turned around narrowing her eyes slightly, only to find Oliver standing a few steps away, offering a gentle smile."Luna, right?" He asked, rubbing the back of his neck but his eyes fixed on the folder on the table which was given by Christian earlier to her.She raised a brow being sarcastic. "If not Luna, what do you think it could be? Tuna?" Oliver blinked at her sarcasm, then let out a breath in confusion as he couldn't understand why she doesn't like him though they never had any fight to be rivals. "Why are you always wary of me?" "Is that a problem for you?" "I’m not here to argue," he said quickly, his tone turned out to be softer than usual. "I'm actually here to apologize… to Chris, I was emotional in the morning, I didn't mean for things to go that far, I always treated Chris as my younger brother, I trul
MAYBE IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE
"Luna, is she really acting innocent in front of me?" Christian stood near a pillar staring at the lights flickering in the distance. The air was strangely cool, but his thoughts still burned with the weight of Rosaline’s words. He should have dismissed them, Luna was his best friend, his unwavering pillar, and support, there's no way he is ready to misunderstand her, however what he heard isn't leaving him to have straight thoughts at this moment.Lost in his thoughts, Christian stood alone leaning to the pillar.Just then Ezra showed up behind Christian with a smirk, "What’s bothering you, little prince? What's with that face of yours?" His voice was teasing, but there was something else, curiosity, maybe even concern, Ezra's presence only deepened his unease. "You? Where did you come from?" Christian asked him with a stunned face, Ezra grinned, "I told you I got a soul friend nearby, and I'm having conversation with my friend, looking at you alone being lost within yourself, s
