...The more I looked at the face the more familiar it got, he continued smiling and approaching me "Hello, I couldn't introduce myself properly, Harrison Sinclair," he said, the dot immediately connected, It was Max's brother "Oh hi," I said awkwardly forcing a smile, on that day he barely looked at my side and only asked one question, I do not know how to feel about him."I didn't believe it for a while, there was no way in hell brother will let his wife roam on the streets without a guard but seeing you from a close-up confirms it really is you," He said while I nodded wondering what to reply with."Guards will only give you unwanted attention and I don't want that," I said "Exactly, you think like me," he said "Mi lady!" I turned around to see Cecilia waving as she ran to me in tiny "I am very sorry I kept you waiting" she apologized even when I should be apologising "Ho young master Harry," she said looking at him "Cecilia?" he asked pointing at her as if surprised "What
...It felt like all the air around has been knocked out, now locked in on a maze with no escape, the beautiful scent from his cologne mixed with sweat and disinfectant coming together to confuse me more.I refused to look away nor say anything, his face felt like a magnet pulling me closer, and closer, he would look more beautiful if only he smiled more, his neutral face always made it hard to know what he might be thinking.A sound interrupted the silence, his phone, I immediately sprint up from my position, "Hello," I heard his raspy voice say, slowly I turned to see his eyes still on me."Hmm" he hummed nodding his head while still on the phone "Yes do exactly like I said, no mistakes" he ordered before ending the call "What happened, was there a pin on the bed?" he asked me, his face cracking a smile, even with my pounding heart I can't deny the fact that even his half heart smile is mesmerizing "Is there something you want me to hear?" he asked getting up, I watched as he be
"Since you are okay, I better go prepare for my job," I Said getting up to leave "Prepare for what?" he asked holding my wrist "My jo..." I paused realizing he wasn't supposed to know, but those it matter? I don't think we are allowed to have a say in each other's private life."Hum..." I smiled with my full teeth awkwardly not knowing how to start "So I got a job," I said watching his reaction "You got a what?""I got a job at a salon," I said watching him, he stared at me with a confused stare "Don't worry I will keep a low profile, nobody will know about us, I can't just continue staying home" I said while he nodded "Do you need money?" he asked to my confusion."Huh?" "If you need money I can...""I don't, I haven't used or touched any money from the one you sent, I can't even look too much at it for I get dizzy so no," I said cutting him shut He got up from the bed still shirtless, I immediately averted my gaze, the boldness from last night has washed away eventually."Wi
...It was 4 and time to head back, I couldn't wait to hear what Cecilia had to say, unlike the previous day, Hervey left earlier because of an emergency so I had to work mostly beside Joe who was amazing as well.I went straight to the cafe where Cecilia seemed to be working as a barista, on getting there she was nowhere to be found."Hello," I said approaching the person at the counter "Hello, good evening who may I help you?" "I am looking for Cecilia, she recently began to work as a barista here" I explained "Oh, Ceci? She left a few minutes ago" She already has a nickname, I trust her to make friends easily, she probably went to fetch me "Thank you," I said I have no option but to go back or perhaps call her, As I walked out of the bustling cafe with my phone pressed against my ear, completely engrossed from the tone if Cecilia's ring back, she wasn't picking as well. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee wafted through the air, mixing with the low hum of chatter and clinking
..."So salon it was" he began immediately we were left alone "Yes salon," I said while he stared at me with an intimidating gaze "Is that the only place you went to?" he asked taking ms by surprise "Where else am I supposed to go if not the salon" I mutter to myself "Good then you can go," He said still with his hands folded, his sudden behavior and tone scared me a bit, without saying much of anything I immediately left going straight to my room I didn't get to close the door and he was right there "Who was that man?" he asked scaring me "I do not understand," I said moving backwards "Oh, now you don't understand, you mentioned going to a new job and not going off to any other place so who was the man," He asked while I stared at him in total confusion "Luna do not waste our time right now, you do realize the jeopardy you can get my reputation into if you are seen with another man""Your reputation?" I asked almost amused by that statement "Yes my reputation!" he yelled at
(Max's pov)"You know a little communication would have gone a long way," Ethan said after listening, there was no need in telling her."Right now to her, you are this daredevil who wouldn't let a woman do her thing because apparently, she is your wife" Ethan continued "Come to think of it, the first time she came across him, you both fought and again yesterday""Just tell her he sent you the picture of both of them together, she isn't dumb, she can connect the dots to know he is an enemy" Ethan continued "There is no need in getting her involved in things she need not know," "She needs to know you have enemies"First of all, I didn't expect her to find a job, without telling me, she does as she wishes, if Sabastine could find her then it will only be a matter of time before she is found by others,"Isn't this a good thing though?" Ethan said suddenly bursting into laughter "What is that supposed to mean?""It seems there is finally a weakness on your side, I have never seen you s
(Luna's pov)slowly I regained consciousness, my eyelids fluttered open, allowing the bright light from the chandelier to seep into my vision. My mind felt foggy, and I struggled to make sense of my surroundings. My senses began to awaken one by one, and I became aware of the warmth enveloping my body.As my vision cleared, I almost gasped audibly, my heart skipping a beat. I was being carried, cradled in someone's arms, and the realization sent a jolt of surprise through my veins. The person holding me had strong, muscular arms, and their grip was gentle yet secure. Panic momentarily took hold of me, my mind racing to understand what was happening.I tried to lift my head to get a better look at my unexpected captor, but my body felt weak, my muscles unresponsive. It was as if I had been transported into a surreal dream, a scenario that seemed straight out of a romance novel. I couldn't deny that the sensation of being carried in such an intimate manner stirred up a mixture of vulner
...As I sat down reminiscing how the day went, I couldn't get the kiss off my head, it was short but I enjoyed every inch of it, just with the thought of it, I can feel my cheeks heating up."Guess we did need a doctor but for the wrong person" The door opened to reveal the doctor with him, "Hi," I said attempting to get up "lay back down," Max said as he approached and stood beside me "I actually feel a lot better," I said truthfully as the doctor nodded feeling my pulse "You do look a lot better, I heard you might have the flu," he said smiling "Uhm, fever perhaps," I said while he nodded again "You seem alright to me for the most part""Are you sure about that, she was burning up" Max asked "Whatever you gave her took it away" I looked at him feeling slightly embarrassed for yet again wasting the doctor's time, but again I want to be sick for some time."Are you sure, cause I do feel sick" I suddenly said taking the attention of the doctor "You seem okay""But she is not M
