Alex pulled away from Luna, leaving her looking surprised. He smiled and said, "Now is the time to take a dive. Can you do it?"She nodded in agreement.He turned to face the water, and Luna followed suit. "On the count of two... one... go!" They both jumped off the ground and dived into the pool after Alex counted.The videographer moved around the pool, capturing them from different angles.As Alex swam, he kept smiling, playfully splashing drops of water at Luna, who laughed along. They looked adorable together, and anyone who saw them would assume they were in love.However, Luna knew she had to play along so that Alex's efforts wouldn't go to waste.Eventually, Alex swam closer to where she was and pulled her into his arms. After a moment, he gently stroked her wet hair before kissing her once again.After swimming for a while, they finally emerged from the water. The videographer exclaimed, "Wow! I have amazing shots and videos of both of you!"Luna smiled and said, "I guess our
In his room, as he stared at the viral post of Luna and Alex, Cyrus sneered, "What a bitch! Oh, you think you've arrived? You're living the life, right? If I can deal with someone as cunning as Miriam, who are you, Luna? And that dumb idiot you call your husband, he may be wealthy and all, but when I'm through with him... when I'm through with both of you, you will know that no one messes with me, Cyrus. In a matter of minutes or hours, I'm going to have so much money in my hands. And then, everyone who has looked down on me and treated me like garbage will see what I can do. As for Miriam, I already have her where I want her. You, Luna, will be next."While he was speaking to himself, Sylvia came out of the room and said, "What's going on, Cyrus? Miriam said she would send the money today, and she hasn't. Come on, you're supposed to take me out shopping.""Relax," he said. "The money will come today. She has given me her word. Of course, you know, if she goes against her word, there
Allison saw the interview Cyrus had done and heard all the things he said about Luna. She kept staring at her screen as she balled her fist in anger."Bastard!" she yelled and quickly dialed Luna's number.Meanwhile, Luna was feeling on top of the world. After posting the pictures and videos they took earlier, people had commented many nice things about her post, and a lot of bloggers also shared it. Most of the comments were in her favor, which showed that Alex was right. Everything was going well and this put her in a very good mood.Alex was inside his room working on his computer while Luna was in the living room when her phone rang.She answered the call and Allison immediately said, "That Cyrus is going to die a horrible death. I am so upset, Luna. I feel like killing him. How are you so calm about this? You sound okay."Luna laughed, "Why are you so upset? What has Cyrus done this time around?""Don't tell me you've not seen the news," Allison said.Luna was surprised, "What n
After giving out instructions, Alex excused himself and went into his room. He rounded up what he was doing earlier and came back to the living room, but Luna was no longer there. He sat down for a while, thinking about everything that had happened. Ever since he met Luna, the only time he saw her being really affected by something was when Claire was involved. But now he was seeing that Claire's well-being wasn't the only thing that could shake her up. Her reputation meant so much to her.Luna, who had left the living room after Alex did, went into the bedroom and sat on the bed. She kept staring at her daughter, Claire. It was just so unfortunate that her father was really a good-for-nothing man. Luna never thought he could go lower than he had already done, and with each passing day, he gave her more reasons to regret ever meeting him. The only consolation she had was Claire, who was the best thing in her life.She thought about all that Alex was doing to teach Cyrus a lesson. Wit
While in police custody, Cyrus waited for Sylvia to bail him out. After trying everything possible, including getting a lawyer to come to the station, she still wasn't able to secure Cyrus's release. The officer in charge of the case said it would be charged to court the following day. Realizing there was nothing more she could do, Sylvia asked to meet with Cyrus. Tearfully, she told him, "I've tried everything possible. Even with all the money, there's still nothing we can do.""What? You mean even with the money I transferred to you before I got arrested?" Cyrus asked in surprise."It's not about the money, don't you understand?" she said. "I told you not to mess with Alex Cooper. You didn't listen, and now look."Cyrus smiled and said, "Call Miriam's number. You can find her number on my phone. Dial her number and give her a message for me."Miriam was at home when she received a call from Sylvia, who told her that Cyrus wanted to speak to her. When the phone was given to Cyrus, h
Miriam left the house first thing in the morning and went to the station to bail out Cyrus. After getting the go-ahead from Alex, she put her plan into motion.Cyrus, who had spent the night regretting his actions toward Alex and Luna did not expect that Miriam would come to take him out so soon. He knew that she had also been arrested, and was not aware of when she was released.When Miriam arrived at the station and Cyrus was let out, he stared at her in surprise. "You're free to go," the officer said to him. As the cuffs were taken off his hands, he walked over to where Miriam was and wanted to hug her, but she covered her nose and moved backward.Realizing he was stinking, he smiled. But inwardly, he told himself that it was a good thing he had her sex videos, as he was going to keep using them to blackmail her. It turned out that Miriam was powerful. Even though she was arrested the day before, she was still able to get out and eventually bail him out.As they came out of the s
Alex stared at the young girl in surprise and turned to stare at Luna, but Luna smiled and said, "Oh so adorable. Okay, let me give you two space to have some fun. I'll quickly get the snacks."Alex watched Luna as she walked away and went over to the counter, and a frown appeared on his face.The girl in question was also surprised, and Alex winked at her, indicating that it was time to leave.He couldn't believe that he had deliberately staged that to see Luna's reaction. He wanted to find out if she had at least developed a soft spot for him. But she did not even seem bothered, which meant that even if she caught him in bed with another girl, it wouldn't make any difference to her. This wasn't what he wanted. He had wanted to get a reaction from her; perhaps she would have warned the girl to stay away from him. Could it be he was going about this the wrong way? Perhaps it was better for him to open up about his feelings. Trying to drop hints here and there might not really work w
Luna moved away from Alex and shook her head, "No, Alex, you can't say this to me. No, you cannot.""I'm sorry," Alex replied, his voice filled with sincerity. "But this is how I feel, Luna. I didn't plan for this to happen. I've tried to fight it...""Come on, Alex," Luna interrupted, frustration evident in her tone. "This is just the first month, and you're telling me that you're in love with me? I mean, there are so many women at your disposal. You can get any woman you want. Why would you want to do this to me?""Luna, why do you make it sound like me loving you is such a heinous crime?" Alex defended himself. "It's not so bad, okay? I promise you, Luna, that if you give me a chance, I will make you very happy. Everything will be different. It won't be like your past experiences. I will always be there for you, just like I have promised you before.I know that, except for Adrian, you have a skewed view of men, but not everyone is evil, and I think so far I have shown you that I am
