Lucas let out a long sigh. "So, there's still a lot of money missing from our previous revenues," he said, his voice tinged with frustration.Joe rubbed his temples, his body weary. "True, we've fired some of the people siding with Hudo. But the problem persists; there are still leaks happening."Luna, looking drained, lifted her head. "We need to investigate further. There might be others aiding Hudo and his associates."Just yesterday, they were gung-ho about seeking justice for LH Tower. Indeed, the company's outward appearance remained stellar and triumphant. However, within, numerous issues were gnawing away.Lucas nodded. "Alright, we need to be more meticulous. Joe, recheck all suspicious financial transactions."Joe nodded and promptly opened his laptop, beginning to scrutinize the financial reports.Luna gazed at her husband. "Lucas, we have to be cautious. If we're too aggressive, we might lose even more."Lucas touched Luna's hand. "I know, dear. But we can't let them furth
After a long and exhausting meeting in the top conference room of LH Tower, Lucas and Luna finally returned to their home. The night was late when they arrived at the door, and the weariness was evident on both their faces. They entered the house with heavy steps, closing the door behind them and leaving the burdens of the day outside.Their home was a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the business world, filled with intrigue and politics. Nestled in a quiet, elite neighborhood, it was surrounded by lush gardens and towering trees, creating a serene atmosphere they always longed for after a stressful day.Lucas hung his jacket on the coat rack near the entrance, while Luna placed her bag on a small table in the hallway. They exchanged a glance, a mix of exhaustion and relief in their eyes."I'm really tired today," Luna said softly, slipping off her high heels and feeling the cool floor beneath her feet. Lucas nodded in agreement, "Me too. It feels like we've just been through a
Whenever there was an important meeting or strategy discussion, Harry made sure he was near the door, listening intently to every detail he could gather.That evening, after everyone had left, Harry sat in his office with the desk lamp casting a soft glow. He opened his laptop and began typing a report with a serious expression. In his report, he detailed Lucas and Luna's actions, noting their strengths and weaknesses.Meanwhile, elsewhere, Hudo was reading Harry's report attentively. They were planning their next move, looking for any weaknesses to disrupt Lucas and Luna's leadership.The next morning, as Lucas and Luna arrived at the office, Harry continued his act as a loyal manager. He tried to gain their trust without arousing suspicion. During the meeting, Harry sat attentively at the table, listening to every idea and plan discussed. He observed how Lucas and Luna interacted with their team, noting the dynamics and strategies used. After the meeting, he returned to his office t
Life with Harry was a showcase of luxury, adorned with lavish parties, international travels, and everything that glittered in the public eye. Harry always presented himself flawlessly, projecting an image of a successful and influential man.On the other hand, there was Lucas. A man who had been a significant part of Bianca's life before she achieved success as a model. Lucas, who in the past was a simple man working hard as a pizza delivery guy and newspaper carrier. A man who willingly shared both joy and hardship, never concerned with social status or wealth. Bianca still remembered the warmth and care from Lucas, even though those times seemed distant and bleak compared to her current life.As she arrived at her luxurious apartment, Bianca tossed her jacket onto the plush white leather sofa and sat by the large window overlooking the city skyline. She indeed had a different home to retreat to if there were disputes with Harry, a place she could leave to just like now. Outside, th
Vanessa's words echoed in Bianca's mind, "Engagement isn't marriage. Life's too short not to be happy."Vanessa, always dressed in luxurious fashion as both a model and designer of high-end accessories, was a friend who admired all of Bianca's assets and saw her life as an inspiration for those who desired more wealth. She constantly reminded Bianca that Harry was a goldmine and must be kept at all costs.After the lavish party, Bianca and Vanessa found themselves alone in Bianca's apartment. The sparkling city lights outside brought a sense of peace, but inside Bianca, there was an unspoken unease."Vanessa, I don't know what to do," Bianca admitted. "I love Lucas, but I can't just leave everything Harry has given me."Vanessa's eyes gleamed with cunning. "You don't have to choose, Bianca. You can have both."Bianca furrowed her brow. "What do you mean?""I mean, keep seeing Lucas. Keep that relationship a secret. If things with Harry don't improve, you'll have Lucas to lean on."Bia
Luna's POVI woke up with a discomfort in my stomach. The cramps were quite strong, but I ignored them, thinking it was just a regular stomachache. I prepared myself for work as usual. As a dedicated professional, I didn't want to miss work just because of a mild stomachache.In the kitchen, I found Lucas preparing breakfast."Morning, Luna. You look pale. Are you okay?" he asked with concern.I gave him a weak smile. "Just a bit of a stomachache. It’ll go away soon. I'll be fine."Lucas frowned, clearly worried. "If you’re not feeling well, it’s better to stay home and rest."But I shook my head. "No, I have to go to the office. There’s a lot of work to be done, and I need to help you.""I'm sorry to trouble you." He looked a bit downcast."You're amazing. It's just that... suddenly becoming the owner of a big company comes with a lot of responsibilities."I couldn't leave Lucas alone, especially since he wasn't a professional in managing a big company like LH Tower. I needed to sup
POV Lucas.The day passed quickly, the day of my meeting with Bianca. I gaze at her figure. Luna, though still looking a bit tired, works with extraordinary enthusiasm. I feel proud and moved seeing her dedication. We work well together, and the company is starting to show significant progress. Sometimes Bianca's shadow still occasionally crosses my mind. I know I need to completely let go of the past to move forward. Whenever doubts and insecurities arise, I remind myself of Luna's commitment and support. She is my future, and I must not let the past haunt me.I can't shake Bianca's shadow from my mind since our unexpected encounter at the supermarket. Sitting at my desk, my thoughts keep drifting back to the past, to the moments we shared. It feels like a recurring nightmare, even though I know Bianca is the past, and Luna is my present and future. I try to focus on work, but memories of Bianca's sweet smile and regretful gaze keep disturbing me. I start feeling confused and angry a
POV LucasWe walked towards a nearby park, looking for a quieter place to talk. Sitting on a park bench, Bianca looked at me with eyes full of regret."Lucas, I know I've made a lot of mistakes. "I want to explain everything," he said slowly.I looked at him, trying to find the truth in his eyes. "All right, I'm listening."He began to tell me about what happened a year ago.How she felt pressured by her modeling career, how she felt that she was losing control of her life.I listened carefully, trying to understand from his point of view."Lucas, I know I betrayed you and it's wrong. But I don't know how to get out of that situation. I feel trapped, " he said with teary eyes.I sighed. "Bianca, that's not easy to hear. I also feel very hurt."Bianca looked at me with tears in her eyes. "I'm very sorry, Lucas. I know I can't change the past, but I want to fix it.I want us to be able to start over, not just as friends, but more than that."I was silent, thinking about his words. Can I
