(LUNA's pov)This is the most I have been Idle in like forever, it doesn't feel right, it's as if I am playing dress up, I am not one to stay in my room for long as well, so I found myself walking around, and this time I choose outdoor, As I walked around the garden with Cecilia following behind, I could feel the many eyes looking at me, they are not yet familiar with me around, and I don't feel comfortable or familiar myself, I just feel bored to the core already and it's not even a week yet."The garden is the most beautiful and peaceful part of the house," Cecelia said while I nodded, I am not much of a flower person, but I can admire and confirm to the beauty of it, I am more of an animal person,"There is just something romantic about gardens," Cecelia suddenly said blushing as she closes her eyes as if imagining something, I sure do admire her free spirit, it's adorable "I don't know about romance," I said awkwardly, "You can't say that, I bet you and Master has had so many r
...The silence between us was almost deafening but unlike me who looked everywhere but him, his eyes did not leave my body, how do I apologize when I am not in the wrong, if anything he should be begging me."You will have to meet my parents...""We should choose a pet name..." we both spoke at the same time "What?" he questioned "If I am going to meet your parent and act like we are a lovely couple like you said, then we need a couple name," I said trying to hide my embarrassment, I swear I hate this "Oh" he appeared taken aback, I mean I can't believe that I gave up easily too."What do you have in mind," he said getting up from his seat, he walked over leaning in on the desk "I don't know, something romantic perhaps," I said recalling Cecilia's words "Romantic" he repeated the word while staring at his hand, my eyes followed every of his movement for some reason, he has this force around him or an aura if I'm being precise, it draws you in and you have to fight yourself not t
...The overwhelming outpour of people with extravagant luxury showered at every corner of the hall if I hadn't seen Max's house and dwelled in it for over a week now, I would have passed out from seeing too much wealth."Leave it to my mother to outdo herself, somethings I wonder just how she manages to do it every time within a short period of planning," He said standing beside me, something with the way he spoke sounded polished and uptight, it felt like he suddenly had an English accent too, and again he doesn't look as happy, he looks more troubled than I do."Your mother must have an interesting taste," I said still looking around "You will be thrilled I promise," he said forcing a smile and then lending me his hand "I suppose I should start acting now," I said letting out an awkward smile which he returned thankfully, the attention of everyone in the room suddenly went to us both as the music stopped playing.I swear the more I looked the more Classical everything looked, eve
"I am Sabastine, may I have this dance?" he asked with a gentle smile, he looks straight out of a fairytale, his brown hair shimmering as the lightening from the hall cast upon him, his Emerald green eyes a huge contrast to his hair colour.I stared at him in complete awe forgetting to actually take his hand and return his greeting. After I finally gained back myself and tried to collect his hand, I was pulled away by a familiar figure, Maximilian, he had flames in his eyes as he stared at the man in question."Max," I said surprised by his action "you don't just take to anyone's hand" he snarled at me "Is that how you speak to your lady?" the young man in question said, still bearing his warm smile."However I speak to my wife is none of your business," Max said pulling me to stand closer to him "It's a shame you have him for a husband," The man said looking at me, I forced a smile "He is lovely to me," I said and watched as Max's face melted into a forced smile "Since he won't
...(Maximilian's pov)"Luna" I called her name and there was no response, "You are folding my cloth," I said again attempting to separate her from my body where she suddenly held onto, "Luna" I called lifting her face, her forehead blowing hot and her eyes near closing "What is wrong with you?" I asked her, she stared at me with her eyes opened halfway through, a mixture of confusion and panic, what was wrong "I'm fine," she said, her voice low, "Rest it's the alcohol," I said helping her lay on her bed, she immediately curled herself in bed letting out a soft groan.I can't let her sleep in that heavy gown, she needs to change, as I took the step to help, I immediately stopped myself, what would she think of me when she woke up, a perv who creeps on sleeping and helpless women perhaps? Why do I even care what she thinks about me?I found myself smiling as I stared at her, I have never seen anyone like her, or maybe my lack is social skills is stopping me from meeting more peopl
...(Luna's pov)"I will be at the dining area," he said walking away, I took a deep breath relaxing my nerves and trying to balance my pounding heart "This is for the best" I muttered to myself "Ma'am" I hear Cecilia's voice and I turned over to see her with Carolina "Master doesn't eat fish," Carolina said with a stern face "Shush" I hear Cecilia say to her, I really do not know anything about him but I wanted to impress him nonetheless, At the salon I have heard so many things from the women, and apparently good food helps put a man in a good mood.While I say good food puts everyone in a good mood I guess it works for men mostly."Carolina right?" I called her while she stared at me not even hiding the condescending look on her face, " Did he tell you personally he doesn't eat fish?" I asked her "I have served him long enough to know""Long enough to know better than his wife?" I asked again "Serve the food," I said again watching them carry it out, I think I might appear to
..."What do you mean?" I asked Cecilia confused "Master mentioned you being bored," she said excitedly, this was not what I had in mind when he said I should get dressed "I will show you every exciting place in the city," she said again, I didn't say I want to go out, to begin with, but I got ahead of myself "Where is he?" I asked angrily "Master is in his study," she said Angrily I walked to his study, on opening the door, he turned around with his phone in his hand close to his ears and a smile on his face."What?" he asked ending the call,"Go on," he said "I got a text from you" I began "I didn't expect to be shown around the city" "You said you were bored" he mentioned "That is not entirely a lie but we already established that it was an excuse as well," I said "What seems to be the problem now?" he asked me "I thought you asked me to dress because..." I paused too embarrassed to speak "You thought I will take you out?" he asked while I remained quiet "Why will you
...(Maximilian pov)A heavy cloud of helplessness engulfs me. Regret fills my heart, weighing it down with an unbearable burden. I can't get a single thing done, the pile of documents on my desk left untouched, what have I done,The realization of what I have done sinks in, and the pangs of guilt pierce my soul like a thousand tiny needles.I shouldn't have, I always knew when to stop.In the moment, it seemed like a harmless choice, a simple decision with no significant consequences. But now, with the clarity of hindsight, I see the error of my ways. My judgment failed me, and I succumbed to a momentary lapse of reason. and I'm left feeling utterly powerless to undo what has been done. I should have known better myself.Every thought, every image, every recollection of that regrettable act is etched deeply into my mind. I replay the scene over and over again, dissecting every detail, desperately searching for a way to turn back time. But time, merciless and unforgiving, marched for
