“Baby I need your help. I know you hate me and I’m a bad husband to you. But I can never be a bad father to you. I need your cooperation this time around. Otherwise your reputation as Luna will be jeopardized.”“Are you threatening me?” Quinn snorted.“I’m not baby. I have a lot of enemies at work - trying to pull me down. I need you to stand by me.”“Is this the reason you came back home? Did you and Sasha have a fallout?”“My love, everything is not about Sasha.”“It sure looks like it.”“Right now, my focus is you.”“And the future belongs to Sasha.”“I didn’t say so. Don’t make this any harder on me. I’m trying to correct my wrongs.”“I see. Keep pretending. Can’t wait for the real beast in you to come out.”“Baby, can’t we ever agree together.”“I think we can agree to disagree.”“Quinn, Gabriella is after me. She has gotten me. She wants my position at the firm.”“Then give it to her.”“Are you crazy? How could you say a thing like that? We need an heir.”“So this is where you w

“I’m in trouble, Mrs James. Pls, I need your help.”“Rowan, everyone is shocked except me. How could you give out your company without reason? Anyway, the answer is not too far-fetched - you were trying to get rid of me. But you had no idea you were throwing your pearls at the dogs. Look where that got you to. Anyway, I’m not angry with you. You were just a pawn in my game. And Gabriella got you before you realized.” Mrs James crossed her legs as she scribbled something down on paper.“I need your help. Lugwig was in on this with his daughter. They planned this all along. They want my company.”“I stand to be corrected - they already have your company. And what were you thinking? That Ludwig was on your side? Oh no. You should be more aware of people who pretend to be nice. They could be the most deadly.”“Tell me something I don’t know. I need your help.”“I think you’d be needing Quin’s help. Not mine. Having an heir who isn’t as gullible as you are will be a miracle. How can I even

“Who am I speaking with? I don’t think I have this line.”“It’s I. Peter.”Fenris went silent. The guy who had slept with his woman was calling him.“Why are you calling after you took advantage of my woman?” Fenris’ voice became cold all of a sudden.“It’s not what you think. This is why I called to explain things to you. Can we meet somewhere to talk?” Peter chipped in.“Never mind. You are not worth listening to! Get off my phone!”“At least Lumi is worth the explanation.”“What explanation? I know what happened already.”“Do you? Are you aware this was all a set-up by my father?”“I knew you were going to blame the dead. So what if he is your father? An apple doesn’t fall too far from the tree.”“Fenris, I never took advantage of Lumi.”“Of course! I should believe you! She simply fell in love with you that night you slept with her!” Fenris formed a fist.“And I never slept with her either! How could you believe whatever comes out of Didi’s mouth? He was cunny and crafty. Should y

Chapter 77Ever since Peter visited her in prison the last time, she had been looking forward to his subsequent visits.And though she had pretended not to have been moved by all the things he said – she was slowly starting to fall for him.Well, she wouldn’t call it a slow burn. It was evident her heart craved him too rapidly.He was smooth with words.He had come to visit her when no one else would. He had promised to help her.He seemed sincere and honest.He was nothing like Didi – she presumed.He looked like a hurt but loving young man. Someone like Fenris. Maybe he was better than Fenris.Even her dad had abandoned her to her fate.He recounted a thousand reasons why her dad was never good enough for her.On his last visit, she regretted he ever came to see her. It had ended with arguments and tears.“Never you come here! You are not my father!”“And you are a bastard child for not listening to me from the onset! I told you never to have anything to do with that Fenris guy. You

The following day, Peter took Lumi out to a fancy restaurant. He selected the dress he would like her to wear. And the shoes to match.After visiting the fancy restaurant, they went swimming.Peter taught Lumi to swim. And he was such a gentleman. He didn’t take advantage of Lumi’s half-naked body.Though his hardness could be seen straining through his briefs, he maintained control.After swimming, they went bowling.It was a day filled with splendid activities.Lumi and Peter spent the day getting to know each other better.After bowling, Peter took Lumi shopping.Lumi had never felt so loved in her life.After packing a good number of bags, they headed home.“Why do you do all this for me?” Lumi asked.“I told you – I owe you Lumi.”“Thank you, but this is getting too much. Are you in love with me?”“I think I already told you the answer the other day.”“Which is?”“Of course, I’m in love with you. Who wouldn’t fall in love with you?”There was neck-breaking silence.“But my love f
