Chasing His Rejected Luna 102
JADEI looked in the mirror, my eyebrows creasing a little in uncertainty.Dad said they were hosting a welcome party for me and a lot of important figures in the country were attending. So naturally, I was nervous. Not because I want’t used to being around them. But I was ever the subject of their attention.I was always just a guest, or they were honouring Atlas and I’m his wife. I was more focused on making sure everything was going well, rather than thinking of how to socialise with them.I know a lot of their faces would be familiar. But that would be the end of it. I may not even remember their names.Now, I’m getting my hair and makeup done because I have to look the part. According to ray. She picked out my dress for me, much to my dismay. I hate to admit that what she picked out was definitely something I would have decided on by myself.It was simple and elegant and the green color made my eyes pop. She had given it a thumbs up before running off. She was giddy and excited f

JADE“You sure you want to leave that out there?” Ray motioned to my locket, which was glowing for some reason.I have become used to the random things the thing does that I barely even noticed them anymore. As long as it didn’t get scalding hot the way it did the other day. I had considered doing research on it to find out why it does all these things, but for now, I have’t really decided if I want to find out or not.Ignoring is bliss and all.“Dad said it is okay.” I replied.And I actually like having it with me. It felt like I had a piece of my mother and grandmother here with me. Even though they aren’t. I could feel their presence. Like they have their arms wrapped around me in a soft hug.“Okay.” She said and stopped outside a double door.It was similar to the one at the entrance but not quite as large. I knew this was the ballroom. Of course, they had a ballroom. It was a castle with almost two hundred bedrooms and I had my own apartment in the house. So yes, a ballroom is e

JADEAntonio stepped back, probably to give us privacy while dad winced, clearly not happy with what she said.When I got over my shock, I tried to plaster on a fake smile. My lips wobbled when she gave me a withering glare. She really does’t like me.I guess, I wouldn’t like me either if I was in her shoes.“Or are you going to keep hiding her form me?” More venom coated her words, it made the first one seem like child’s play.If looks could kill a person, I would have been dead by now from the way she was looking at me. She had no regard for the people standing all around. Some were definitely looking at us. Trying to overhear what was being said.&

ATLAS My head was banging. Or maybe that was the sound of whatever they were hitting outside my room. I groaned and pushed my leg off the bed, not caring to open my eyes. I knew my room like the back of my hand, so even if I was unconscious, I could make it to the door. I stood straight, my entire body protesting to the movement because it felt like too much. I took no more than two steps before my foot hit something and I went tumbling to the ground. If I was in my right senses, my relaxed would have saved me perhaps. But my head was pudding pounding and now the world was shaking. I felt around me, now realising it wasn’t my choice to not open my eyes. They have refused to open and I had nothing to do with it. I felt something, like wood so I held onto it and hoisted myself up. Or tried to, rather. Because instead of pulling myself up, I pulled something and it crashed over me, making me hit the back of my head on whatever I had tripped on the first time. “Shit.” My growl is ful

ATLAS“Get off your ass, Atlas. You’re not going to rot here.” I groaned at the sound of Andrew’s voice.I knew he was going to come for intervention sooner or later. I guess I was hoping it would be later. Much, much later.I’m still lying in bed. After I sent Arya away, I mind linked one of the warriors to give her more hard labor to do. Not something inside the house. Outside the fields which would actually take her time and energy so she won’t have much left to come and bother me with.“Hello? Do you hear me or have you gone deaf now too. Selective deafness?” He asked, staring at me with an annoyed expression. I only give him a blank uninterested look.Just because I was dreading his intervention didn't mean it was going to get me to cave and agree with whatever he wanted.“Leave.” I pointed at the door. “You’re giving me a headache.”He picked the damned bottled of scotch I had tripped on earlier and held it up.“I think it is this and not me.” I waved his off and covered my eyes

JADERay’s squeal and excited laughter was what woke me up.i was groggy and still tired form the party and I couldn’t feel anything from my knees right down to my toes.I would have amputated my legs if I’d worn those heels. Even the ones I wore had felt like deathtrap by the time I danced with the third persona and they kept coming until I lost count.Antonio was the last person I had danced with, and we did two sets. I would admit, I hadn’t seen noticed because I liked his company. But Incas definitely regretting that decision now.“What is it Ray? it’s the crack of dawn.” I groaned, pulling my comforter over my head.I really wished she was so busy like Aiden, then I would at leats get a full mooring sleep.i felt bad for thinking that but my conscience while sleeping is not very morally upright.“No, silly. It is twelve noon.” My eyes widened and I threw the comforters off. I didn’t believe her. Heck, I also didn’t believe the digital clock beside my bed that showed 12:21.This cou

JADE Antonio looked like he just walked out of a dream in a tailor-made designer suit, his hair brushed back, with so strand out of place, and a smile showing off his perfect teeth. I got up from the couch, my eyes narrowing as he stepped into my living room. I couldn’t even turn to look around the place and see what the hell is to of place. Because right now, looking between the both of us. He is everything that is in place and I’m the opposite of it. No need to check. “Hi, I’m sorry to barge inline this.” He clears his throat. I couldn’t do anything but stare at him with mu jack slackened. “Ray told me you were in here and I needed to see you.” See me? Why? I didn’t know I said that out loud until he cleared his throat again. And dare i say, he looked nervous? I’m equally surprised. “I’m sure you’ve seen the articles. I just wanted to clear that up.” “Oh,” was al I could mutter. He motioned to the couch and I nodded, quickly moving my bowl of popcorn and the blanket I’d br

ATLASAndrew was staring at me with caution. Like I was some kind of wild animal he didn’t neat to get too close to.It is probably good that he was staying away because he was pissing me off. and I couldn’t guarantee not acting like an untamed beats if became within arm’s reach of me.We were discussing some fucking treaty I wasn’t paying attention to. Those words I read earlier this morning kept repeating themselves in my head like a fucking breaking record. And I couldn’t get them out.If I closed my eyes. I’ll see the image of Jade, smiling up at that fucking pretty boy like he hung the fucking moon.He looked like he spent all his time on a makeup chair rather than doing alpha shit.Or maybe, I just fucking hated the guy. Which was also true.Apparently, breaking my phone did not mean what I saw was’t there. Though I did pray to be hallucinating or for this to be some kind of bad news. None so far. It was fucking real."I think I’ll leave you to it.” Andrew said with a defeated s
