Their conversation distracted Luna. She saw that one of the men in the room was familiar. However, she didn’t waste a second to figure it out when Grace was probably dying somewhere. She skipped past them and walked inside.These bastards must have hidden Grace in the back room.The lounge was empty, but Luna didn’t give up. Her eyes stopped on the closed wardrobes. She rushed towards them and pulled them open one by one, creating a loud continuous sound in the room.Mylo observed Luna for a while, then suddenly looked back at Delmor and winked as if he had just figured something out.“Grace is a girl’s name, right? Look at how angry Mrs. King is. She is ready to tear this place apart. Preston, did you cheat on your wife with another woman called Grace?” Mylo asked, looking at Preston in disbelief. That was the only explanation he had for Luna’s actions.Preston blinked several times in confusion. What was Mylo talking about? An affair?Luna became increasingly desperate. There was no
“Explain your absurd behavior tonight right now. That is an order. If you can’t give me a good explanation, I'll throw you out the window and you'll fall to your death. Just so you know, this is the eighth floor.” Luna’s eyes darted towards the window anxiously. She was going to blame this stupid man if anything happened to Grace. Looking for an escape route, Luna’s gaze fell on his strong and powerful arm exposed by his rolled-up sleeves. Without any warning, she lowered her head and sank her sharp teeth into the arm. Preston roared at the pain but didn’t relinquish his hold on her. “Let go!” “You let go first!” Luna returned and sank her teeth back into his skin. The more she bit into his skin, the weaker he became until he finally let her hand go. Immediately, Luna stood up straight and shook her aching hand. Why did it hurt so much? Maybe he really broke it. Then, she felt something cold and wet on her lips. She touched her lips and brought down her hand only to see
“How dare you glare at me, you bitch? You two, make her drink. I’m going to kill her,” Harvey hissed, angered by Grace’s audacity to talk back at him.Immediately, two bodyguards dragged Grace away from Luna, forced her mouth open, and poured alcohol down her throat.Luna’s pulse quickened with rage. The people in the room were a vile bunch of scum. She ran toward the man closest to Grace and swatted the glass of alcohol away from his hand. She then slammed a wad of cash on the coffee table.“I don’t care if you want this money or not. I won’t let you punish her for something that isn’t even her fault. I'm taking her with me.” Luna pulled Grace to the door, but the bodyguards blocked their way. Harvey suddenly clapped his hands.“You have a lot of guts, woman. I don’t know what you look like because you're wearing a mask, but I can tell that you have quite a temper. Let’s make a deal, shall we? I’ll let your friend go.”Luna looked at the sly smile on his face suspiciously. “If you're
She ran her fingers down its rim and studied the room’s illumination stealthily. She was waiting for the bright light that flashed in the room every fifteen seconds.As soon as she saw it coming, she immediately removed her mask.“Everyone, watch closely. I’m going to drink now,” Luna declared. Tilting her head back, she downed the drink in one go. Suddenly, a bright light emanated from her face, giving her an eerie appearance, and the room took on an eerie atmosphere. With a quiver in his voice, one of the men asked, “What did I just see? Did you all see that too?”Everyone in the room had perplexed looks on their faces.Just now, when the bright light fell on Luna’s face, they purposefully widened their eyes, expecting to see a beautiful woman. Instead of that, however, they were confronted with a terrible visage. Luna's scars, which covered her entire face, were a web of red and black lines. When her dark lips parted to expose a gaping mouth, she looked like a demonic monster.They
"We want to get even with him.” The drunk man got to his feet. His words slurred as he said, “Uh, yeah, sure.” With that, he staggered out of the room. Currently, Preston was in Room One. A few minutes after Luna left, everyone scattered from the card table and entered the lounge area. Preston loosened the top two buttons of his shirt as he settled on a white sofa made of fine leather. He furrowed his brow as he rested his elbow on the armrest and glanced at his bandaged wound. A flash of discomfort crossed Mylo’s face when he also glanced at the bandage on Preston’s arm. The man’s strength and viciousness made him a formidable opponent in a fight, but he lost earlier when the woman bit him. The sight of it was tragically comical. “Preston, is your wife a dog or something? What's she like at home? Does she bite people there, too?” Mylo asked curiously. Preston glanced at him but did not respond. Mylo touched the bridge of his nose, pretending he had not said anything. Aft
Luna, who was completely drunk now, pointed her finger in the direction of the speaker.“You're the ugly one here, not me! For your information, I’m the most beautiful woman in the world.”“What?”The room went silent.Mylo and Delmor stared at Luna in shock. She was wearing a mask, so it was impossible to see her face now.Both of them took a quick look around the room, their gazes sweeping at the drunk scumbags. If they understood it correctly, these people threw up after seeing Luna’s face.Preston’s eyebrows wrinkled even further.Did these grown men really vomit just because they saw Luna’s face?Did she really look that repulsive?Luna, who was too drunk to care about anything, abruptly broke free from Grace’s hold, lunged at Preston, and hugged his arm. “Honey, don’t listen to them. They’re lying. I’m very beautiful. Hold on. Help me; I can’t stand on my own.”Preston glanced at Luna by him who reeked of alcohol. How could she have drunk so much in such a short time?Preston tr
"Luna, this should be the last time you go out drinking. The next time something like this happens, I’m going to kill you." With a resentful huff, Preston carried Luna in his arms, while Mylo and Delmor stifled their laughter behind their hands. Their friend had definitely married a woman that was one of a kind.Out of the teahouse, Preston roughly dumped Luna onto the back seat. He was about to close the door, but she started acting out again, leaving Preston no choice but to sit in the back with her."Sit properly!" he ordered. In the driver’s seat, Ethan was surprised. "Drive!" Preston snapped coldly when he caught the driver looking back at them.As soon as the car started moving, Luna felt sick. She felt suffocated. In a desperate attempt to feel better, she raised her hand to open the window for a breath of fresh air."Do you have a death wish or what?" Preston scolded and pulled her back.Luna lost the little balance she had and fell onto Preston's lap. Then, she looked up at h
She then made some changes to the magnolia-shaped brooch’s design before sending it to the jeweller with a request to finish it as quickly as possible.Since she was unable to make it due to her current situation, she had someone else do it for her. Next, Luna set about picking out an outfit to wear to Claudia’s birthday party.After much deliberation, she settled on a dress in a lovely pastel purple with a shade that was just right—not too dull, yet not too vibrant.Unbeknownst to her, Bria was standing guard outside the bedroom as she did some tidying up. “Fuck,” Bria muttered. “What a shame to see such a lovely dress on someone with a hideous face.”Afterward, Luna went to the bathroom to take a shower. Her body reeked from not having been washed since the day before. As she closed the door to the bathroom, Bria pulled out a pair of scissors from her pocket. She took a quick look around, tiptoed into the bedroom, and then stealthily snipped holes in the dress.Half an hour later, L
