When Luna arrived, she saw Lucas in his car, which was parked right in front of the house.She came out of the car and met with him. "So, this is really not a joke. I mean, the fact that you're here...""It's not a joke," Lucas said, pointing at the door."Okay, alright. Let's go."They walked toward the door, and Luna wanted to knock; however, Lucas said, "No, I... the last time I came here to confront them... I... got one of the keys. So, I think it would be better if we just go in."She looked at him. "Are you sure about this?"He said, "Yeah, in the end, he is still my friend, so it wouldn't be a big deal."She folded her arms and waited for him while he put the key into the key holder and unlocked the door.He pushed the door open, and his eyes instantly caught Asher and Claire on the couch. He turned to look at Luna and said, "Right this way."At this point, though, Asher and Claire were so engrossed in what they were doing that they didn't realize what had happened. Her eyes we
After more driving about for a while, Claire finally calmed down. She thought about everything that had happened and made up her mind on what she was going to do. But first of all, she wanted to have a conversation with Asher because she felt that her mom had spoken very rudely to him, whereas he wasn't at fault for everything that had happened.For some reason, she couldn't help but blame herself. Perhaps if she hadn't hidden things from her mom, Asher would not have been yelled at or belittled.She drove back to the house and was surprised when she got in to see the damage that had been done to the door which led to Asher's room.She went into the room and saw Asher sitting on the bed. He quickly got up the moment he saw her and said,"Claire, you're back."She nodded and walked over to where he was."I'm sorry," she said.He held her hand, pulled her closer to his body, and hugged her."No, Claire, don't be sorry for anything. You did nothing wrong. It's just a misunderstanding. Yo
Luna stared at both Alex and Claire, wiping the tears from her eyes. She still could not understand what was happening."What's going on here?" she asked."Claire, I don't get it. I thought you got married to Lucas because you both were in love with each other. Why would he start treating you so badly from the first day of the marriage? And why did he think you forced yourself into his life? There are some things that sound really strange. Please, I'm lost here," Alex said."Hold on, I'll tell you everything, Luna," he proceeded to tell her how he forced Lucas into marrying Claire, and she screamed."Why would you do that? No, that is wrong. You should not have done that," Luna said."Calm down," Alex said. "It has already happened. It's all in the past. It was a mistake we made, and unfortunately, Claire suffered for it."Luna shook her head. "All this time, you went through so much, Claire, and I didn't even know. I can't believe I slapped you. I can't believe I accused you. Oh no."
Lucas sat in his house, waiting for feedback. Although he knew that Claire was eventually going to tell her parents everything, he was hoping that they wouldn't want a divorce since it was going to be a stain on her reputation. Also, the fact that Asher was his friend would make her convince them to give up on Asher.He was waiting for a call from either Alex or Claire. That way, he could properly tender his apology and ask for a second chance.However, the person who called him was none other than his father."Come home right away," his father said.He looked at the time; it was already late. "Is everything okay?" he asked."Mr. Cooper just left the house. Come back right away," his father insisted.The moment he heard that Alex had been to his house, Lucas rushed out of the house and went to see his parents.He walked into the living room and sat down. Seeing the expression on his parents' faces, he asked, "Did something happen? What is the problem?"His father shook his head. "I'm
SIXTEEN MONTHS LATERClaire already closed the files on her desk and got up, about to walk out of her office.At this point, she heard a knock on the door of her office. She walked over to it, opened it, and came out of the office.She was shocked to see her employees standing in front. "Surprise!" they all said, holding balloons, flowers, and cakes."Happy first anniversary," one after the other, they all wished her.She stood, staring at them with a smile plastered on her face. She had barely breezed into the office to sign an important document before coming out; she didn't know her employees were going to surprise her once again.It reminded her of how her last anniversary had gone. However, this time, it was different because she was happy."Thank you all so much," she said. She walked closer, took a bite of the cake, and said, "Wow, this is really delicious. You all should have fun, enjoy yourselves, and take the day off."Her employees all cheered happily while she hurried out o
Luna Salvador stood outside Cyrus Whitman's house with her daughter Claire's test result in her hand. She took a deep breath before moving closer to knock on the door. Just as her knuckles touched the door, she realized it was unlocked. She pushed it open and walked into the living room, where she noticed clothes scattered all over the place. "Typical of the bastard," she thought to herself.She continued walking until she approached the bedroom, following the sounds of loud moans. She knew what was happening inside, but she couldn't care less about it. What she came for was far more important to her. She pushed open the bedroom door and saw Cyrus and his girlfriend, Sylvia naked and having sex on the bed. As she stared at the couple in front of her, memories of a similar scene from four years ago flooded her mind.Back then, she was still married to Cyrus Whitman when she walked in on him cheating on her with Sylvia. At the time, she had just given birth in the hospital, but he d
"What the hell, Luna?" Cyrus roared.With her arms still folded, she rolled her eyes in response. "Why are you being so creepy?" He got up and put on his clothes. Sylvia also got up and put on her clothes, but she began to complain, "What is the meaning of this? Cyrus, I am not going to tolerate this. How can she barge in here, into our house? For crying out loud, you both divorced four years ago. She has no right to walk in on us.""If you do not want me to walk into your house, then learn to keep your doors closed, whore," Luna retorted.Sylvia angrily stood up, "What did you just call me? Did you call me a whore? You should be ashamed of yourself. Look at you being so ugly. Yeah, it's because of how ugly you look that Cyrus dumped your sorry ass and choose to be with me.""Really?" Luna asked mockingly."Yes, think about it, he was married to you for almost two years but got fed up. However, I have been with him for four good years and he is still head over heels in love with me.
SIX MONTHS LATERLuna got dressed and stared at herself in the mirror. She was wearing cream-colored pants with a matching striped jacket. Her hair was tied into a bun, and she had applied simple makeup on her face. She smiled at her reflection, "Wow, you look good, Luna. You look so beautiful. Who would look at you and turn their face away? Absolutely no one.""Indeed, no one would do that," her friend, Allison replied from behind. Luna turned and smiled at her friend, "I am so excited about this interview, and at the same time, I am nervous.""Relax, you will get this job," Allison said optimistically. "I know, right? I believe so much in myself. But then, this is not a small place. You already know that working at Haven Logistics as an accountant is a big deal. So many people will be vying for this position.""Yes, but you have an advantage most of them do not. First of all, you studied accounting in college, and secondly, you have someone who has recommended you. I think you wi
