After an intense meeting with her father and uncle, Luna felt exhausted but relieved.“I hope they don’t bother Lucas,” Luna said.For now, she could still uphold her principles and not let them take control of the company she and Lucas had built together.Luna went home and found Lucas waiting for her in the living room with a warm smile."Luna, are you okay?" Lucas stood from the sofa and approached his wife, pulling her into a warm embrace.Luna pulled away from the hug and looked at her husband with eyes full of fatigue but strong determination."I'm fine, Lucas. Just a bit tired of all the drama they're causing."Lucas nodded, offering silent support, letting Luna share everything in her own time and way.They sat together on the sofa, with Luna leaning on Lucas's shoulder."So, what did they say this time?" Lucas asked gently, not wanting to add to Luna's burden but also wanting to know the details of the recent meeting.Luna sighed deeply before answering, "Father and Uncle Ter
Bianca frowned upon hearing Vanessa mention a name that was so familiar to her."I always thought LH Tower belonged to Hudo or Patric," she said with eager curiosity.Vanessa smiled mysteriously, adding an element of tension to their conversation."It turns out it's neither of them. The actual owner is Lucas," Vanessa said with a faint smile."You mean Lucas, my ex-boyfriend?" Bianca exclaimed, her eyes widening.Vanessa nodded firmly, providing certainty in her answer. "Yes, Lucas is the official owner of LH Tower. He holds full control over the company."Those words echoed in Bianca's mind. Her heart raced; she never imagined her ex-boyfriend wielded such power. Thoughts of Lucas began to fill her mind. Her conversation with Vanessa motivated her to approach Lucas again with newfound confidence.Vanessa, being Bianca's close friend, understood her intentions. She also realized how successful Lucas had become, far exceeding their expectations."I still can't believe Lucas has come th
The ticking of the wall clock sounded serene in the living room. Morning sunlight filtering through the curtains added warmth to the room. Luna, still in her light blue silk nightgown, sat at the dining table with a cup of hot coffee in her hands. Her mind wandered, pondering why her husband, Lucas, hadn't come home all night.The front door slowly creaked open, and the sound of Lucas's footsteps approached. Luna turned, seeing her husband looking extremely tired. His eyes were puffy, his hair disheveled, and his face showed signs of lack of sleep. Lucas tried to smile, but the smile couldn't hide the exhaustion and turmoil on his face.“Where have you been all night, was there something urgent?” Luna greeted with a gentle yet questioning tone.Lucas nodded briefly, trying to avoid his wife's gaze. "It was—I had some matters to attend to," he replied shortly.Luna looked at Lucas with full attention. "Where did you go last night? I was worried," repeated Luna, impatient to get a defin
That night, the atmosphere in the house was quiet and tense. Lucas sat on the edge of the bed, staring out the window with a vacant expression. His heart felt heavy with guilt that continued to haunt him. In the next room, his wife, Luna, was busy with her work, seemingly unaware of Lucas's restlessness.Their marriage was not an ordinary one. It was a contractual marriage agreed upon to protect the business interests of their respective families. However, as time went on, Lucas began to feel something more than just a business obligation. He started to love Luna, although they had never really discussed their feelings for each other.But in the past week, Lucas felt trapped in his guilt. He sat brooding on the edge of the bed, his phone in hand. The light from the screen illuminated his tired and anxious face. His wife, Luna, was likely sound asleep in the next room, unaware of the turmoil her husband was going through.Lucas continuously opened and closed the messaging app on his ph
Lucas's house seemed more lively that night. The lights illuminated the room, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere.Lize, Lucas's mother, came to visit. Luna, Lucas's wife, greeted her with a friendly smile at the door."Please come in, Mom," said Luna, inviting Lize inside. Lize nodded with a smile. She carried a small bag in her hand."Thank you, Luna. Your home is lovely," praised Lize. Luna smiled a bit nervously, feeling awkward with the compliment."We're very happy to have you here," replied Luna, walking toward the kitchen.They began preparing dinner together. Lize and Luna exchanged stories, though there was a slight awkwardness between them. Lize was elegant and authoritative, while Luna felt a bit pressured by her presence."Luna, how is your relationship with Lucas?" Lize suddenly asked, breaking the silence. Luna paused for a moment, weighing her response.The tension between them suddenly felt suffocating to Luna."Our relationship is good, Mom. We're trying to get to kn
Lucas folded his hands and stared at the beautiful decoration he had made himself with his proud face. During these five months, he deliberately saved his salary to rent a luxury hotel at the wishes of Bianca, his beloved.His heart was flowering, pounding with impatience, the intention that had been buried for a long time, now he was able to give a gift right on their special day, today was the day they first became lovers. "Bianca, she must be very happy."Lucas has been preparing for all this, he proposed to his beloved a long time ago, and now he will make a small gift closer to their wedding.Lucas's phone stuck to his ear, but the calls made went unanswered."I think I'm so restless, I should pick him up now," murmured Lucas who then came out of the hotel room. He was not calm because his calls were not answered.Unfortunately, just two steps out of the door, Lucas was speechless by the sight he had just seen.'Deg!'"Bianca!"Lucas was shocked, another shock emerged from the re
"You should have slept with your mother instead of proposing to Bianca, you can't support the cost of living of a woman as beautiful as Bianca, but you can sleep with your mother for free. Because you're both poor, you need love and your mother needs a man's touch." Two punches didn't seem to stop Harry from humbling Lucas and his mother.Harry's provocation seems to succeed in making Lucas even more furious. Harry continued to cover his face from Lucas ' blows. His eyes flushed irritably while Harry laughed amid groans as he was showered with punches, he was almost battered.The commotion in the hallway of the room made other people start to feel uncomfortable. It was only then that the arrival of two male hotel guards was able to pull Lucas apart from Harry.The assault situation stopped and turned in Harry's favor. "Honey, you're all right." Bianca took out a handkerchief wiping the wound in the corner of her lover's lips. The woman who had just seen two men fighting just now looke
Lucas lowered his head in shame, where did it not deserve it? If the man who didn't deserve to be there was right, that's Lucas ' belief. What this beautiful woman said is true. He skipped dinner only to spend time decorating a hotel room that ended up being thrown out into the street.“Do you remember Luna Chasen?” The woman asked again with a new topic.Lucas's body felt the blood flow stopped pumping the heart. "Lu-Na-Cha-Sen? Luna Chasen!”Surprised, Lucas paused for a moment to exhale again calmly.“Luna Chasen, the girl who is my junior in class?” he's starting to notice the details of the facial features the woman in front of him has now.Luke almost forgot to close his eyes. “Where are your glasses?” he used to wear glasses all the time when he was in high school. He knew his younger brother who was always considered cute and geeky in their school days.“I had myopia surgery, and I did it. I thought you had forgotten me, you don't remember my face?”Luna deliberately made a su
