Chasing His Rejected Luna 113
JADEMy attention since I got here has been very sharp. I could feel when someone was looking at me, I paid more attention to people and I could never be caught in an unexpected situation or while making a face. So I was especially very aware of the picture taking pictures of me.There was no way I would have missed when he entered the hall. The fact that he didn’t even bother tying to hide the fact that he was staring at me made it worse.Damn it. The last thing I wanted was more people on my neck about who I was with. It sucked that I couldn’t well scream to the world that I hated all men. That would start a scandal I didn’t want to deal with. I had to force myself to hold that urge down.A lot of people were looking for the littlest things that would make them dig into my life. I’ve seen their comments on social media and it was surprising how entitled people felt to know about my life.Apparently, privacy is a foreign concept to them. They want to know what I’m doing. Who I’m with

ATLASI watched the sunrise, failing to see the beauty hope always spoke of. I couldn’t feel the hope nor the positivity that they said followed a brand new day.Isn’t that what they always said to us? Go to bed. You’ll feel better in the morning.Well, I waited till morning and I still felt like shit.Or maybe, it was because I was’t technically in a bed. I’d stayed all night in the cramped hospital chair. And it was uncomfortable as fuck. To say the least.I wish I could say my bitter mood had to do with the fact that I lost my child.I really wish I could say it was that. But deep down, I knew the damned pictures I saw when I went through one of those gossip pages was the real reason I was so pissed.And yes, I’ve become obsessed with them. Checking them every second of everyday to see if they posted a new update on Jade. And they almost always have something new to report.Jade was the dictionary definition of booked and busy. She had events to attend. Places to go and people to m

JADEEverything that happened last night, mostly Damien’s presence ad him mentioning Atlas, ruined the entire evening for me.I understood the whole, ‘don’t let anyone get in the way of your peace’ thing but it was still annoying as hell.Dad, being amazing as he was, noticed how I was’t really in the mood to socialise and he asked if I wanted to leave early. I took the invitation so fast that he laughed. He said the necessary goodbyes and then we were on our way.He didn’t ask why I was acting that way he’d only pecked me on the forehead goodnight when he went up with me to my apartment. Then he said he hopes I will feel better in the morning.Could I really ask for abetter dad? He was understanding and loving and very attentive. I was almost in my mid twenties but I couldn’t help the childlike giddiness that always fills me when he is near.It reminded me of the excitement children felt when they saw their father at home. Or they heard the doorbells which usually meant he was back f

JADEI have nowhere today. I really couldn’t even explain how happy that made.Trust me, the glitz and glam life may look like a dream from a different POV. But it really ins’t all that when you’re living in it.Ray had taken it upon herself to take care of my calendar for me and send ‘thank you but I can’t come’ messages to people. I really don’t know what I would do without her even if I don’t explicitly say it to her face.We stayed in bed and just wasted the whole day away. I wish I could say my mind as free of thoughts but it kept going back to Atlas and Damien. What was he doing here? trying to defend Atlas of all people?I thought they hated each other. Well, I didn’t know that but the way they had covered the other day proved as much.All these thoughts were making me feel sick.“What are you thinking about?” Ray who was cuddled up to the demonic black cat asked me.Both their heads were turned towards me and he looked as inquisitive as she did. I swore he could understand and

JADEThis may not be my best elder sister moment but I was glad when Ray told me about the boy she was seeing. Because it distracted me from thoughts of my ex who isn’t really my ex and my ex friend who I thought was my friend. Not the easiest life.The most important thing I had to know was how old he was. If he had access to get her a pass, then he must be a few years older than her.He was only seventeen. Thankfully. But he was the son of one of dad’s enemies.“Well, not enemy per se but they really don’t like each other. And dad would refuse to attend an event if he heard the man was going.” She winced after saying the last word, like it hurt her just to say it out loud.I couldn’t close my mouth after hearing al of that. One part of me wanted to tease her and call her Romeo and Juliet. But something told me it wasn’t the right time. And that book ended in tragedy.“And you both have been seeing each other for how long?” I tipped my head the side, watching her as she spoke.“A few

JADEAfter telling myself I didn’t like him for the tenth time, I got the sense to offer him a seat. Which he took.I knew my apartment was big. Big as hell, but when he sat in just one of the couches, it was like the air in the room had been sucked in. He filled up the place and the chair. Not with his body but his preface. He had a powerful aura and I had a feeling, I would have submitted to him easily if it wasn’t because of something that was drawing me back.What that is, I couldn’t tell.“How was the party last night? I couldn’t make it.” I didn’t know what he came up to but I didn’t expect that.It took me a few seconds to think of a response. He was just trying to make conversation while I sat staring at him awkwardly.“Oh, it was okay.” I replied, forcing a kind welcoming smile.He made me nervous. And it was’t exactly in a bad way so I had no idea what to do with myself.“You looked breathtaking. I couldn’t believe I missed it.” He said with a chuckle.I couldn’t tell if he

ATLASAnnie go discharged a few hours ago and now we were at her house, getting her things so she would move into the pack house until she was fully recovered.Mum was helping her pick the rest of the stuff while I got out with the excuse of answering a work call. They just kept breaking down whenever they saw the baby’s things. I couldn’t stay there anymore. I had no idea how to comfort a crying woman. I was fucking clueless when it came to two of them.Andrew was sitting in the car, mindlessly scrolling through his phone when I went out to meet him. He drove my man here and I asked him to stay back, in case we needed an extra hand with her clothes. I know how Annie is.But to be honest, the main reason I wanted him to stay back was because I didn’t want to be alone. He knew that too so he didn’t complain.I opened the passenger door and slid in, he barely looked up from his phone to acknowledge me. We haven’t spoken since he got here because the women were there and now, I have no i

JADERay came back after Antonio left. He sad he’ll be here by seven in time for our date. She’d run up and told me I had to look spectacular.“Why? It is just casual dinner with a friend.”I want’t even sure he was my friend but I was saying the words to convince her, as well as myself, that this is just a casual thing. No need to put too much pressure on myself and make it a big deal.But Ray had looked at me like I just said something blasphemous.“This is Antonio! The hottest and most eligible bachelor in the seven circle and out of it. He is among the top five sexiest men on earth and most sought out bachelors. There is nothing casual about it.”I placed my palms over my eras from how loud she was screaming.Ray stared at me with smooch judgment. Almost like she used to when I first moved in. But now I was sure there was no real contempt in her eyes.“I’ll pretend you didn’t say that but get here right now and let’s fix you.” I was heading to the bathroom when she said that.“Tha
