I left the room with a heavy heart, knowing what I had to do. Slowly, I packed at my shoes and stuffed them into a big box and began then move my things. Each item I put outside the room felt like a piece of my life slipping away.“Are you sure about this, Luna?” Zara's voice was soft as she watched me pack from outside what's now Damon's room. She was holding a large red box that had all my books.I nodded, unable to meet her gaze. “I have to do this. It's for the best.”Once everything else like the dirty clothes, files and documents was packed, I moved to the other room. It felt strange to be in a new space, unfamiliar and empty. But I knew it was necessary for my own sanity.“Do you need any help arranging your stuff?” Normally, she wouldn't have asked, but I guess she saw how alone I want to be at the moment. “No, I think I can manage,” I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt. I started by cleaning the room, wiping away the dust and cobwebs that had accumulate
The morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room as I groggily reached for my buzzing phone on the nightstand. Cecil's name flashed on the screen, and I answered after yawning and wiping the drool off my chin.“Ana, it's Cecil,” Her voice crackled through the line. “Just wanted to let you know that the people have started bringing in the equipment for the store. Elizabeth and Jennie are already here, ready to get things set up.”I pulled the phone away from my ear to check the time.7:56I placed the phone back on my ear.“Thanks for the heads up, Cecil. I'll be there shortly.” My voice was groggy and she must have known because she asked me to take a quick bath and be there.After hanging up, I dragged myself out of bed, feeling the weight of exhaustion settling over me like a heavy blanket. The events of the previous night had left me drained both physically and emotionally, but there was no time to dwell on it now.In the bathroom, I stared at
I woke up at home the next morning feeling surprisingly refreshed. Damon wasn't home, which was a relief. I had breakfast and took my time enjoying it, savoring each bite as I planned out my day.After breakfast, I decided to spend the morning ordering a few more things to add some final touches to my bedroom. I browsed through different online stores, scrolling through pages of curtains, throw pillows, and rugs, searching for the perfect pieces to complete the cozy atmosphere I had in my head.After much deliberation, I finally settled on a set of curtains in a soft, neutral color, a selection of throw pillows in coordinating patterns, and a plush rug to add warmth to the hardwood floors. With my shopping list complete, I proceeded to check out, eagerly anticipating the arrival of my new purchases.Since the items I ordered might take long and would possibly require pick-up, I decided to take a stroll downtown to the aesthetic store to get some room decor designs. .Upon arriving at
After leaving the hospital, I decided to ask the driver tomake a detour to the fashion house, Luxury. I and the ladies had agreed that for the first two months, we'd close early, so I wanted to see if the ladies had already gone home or if the store was still open.As the cab turned the corner, the familiar sight of the storefront came into view. The glass windows displayed the latest designs.I alighted, paid the driver and Pushed open the door, I stepped inside, greeted by the soft hum of activity. The scent of fabric and perfume filled the air, mingling with the sound of sewing machines whirring in the background.“Ana! You're back!” Cecil, exclaimed, her face lighting up with a smile as she saw me.“Hey,” I greeted her, returning the smile. “Is everyone still here?”“Yeah, we're just finishing up for the day,” She replied, gesturing towards the back of the store where the rest of the team was gathered.As I reached the back of the store, I found Elizabeth, who we made our head des
The next morning, I woke up to the sound of the alarm buzzing on the bedroom's nightstand. Rubbing the sleep from my eyes, I glanced over at Victor, still asleep beside me. He looked so peaceful, his features softened by slumber.After getting out of bed, I went to the kitchen and microwaved the leftovers from last night's dinner. I also made some toast for Victor, knowing he'd appreciate a quick breakfast before heading off to work.With breakfast ready, I returned to the bedroom and gently nudged Victor awake. He groaned sleepily, but I could see the exhaustion written all over his face.“I'm leaving now,” I whispered, leaning down to kiss his forehead.“Mmm, you can take the driver” He mumbled, already drifting back to sleep.Chuckling at his sleepy response, I grabbed my coat and headed out the door. The driver was waiting for me downstairs, and soon we were on our way to the mansion.Arriving an hour later, I found Zara in the living room, sipping on a cup of tea. She sprang up w
As the car rolled to a stop at the airport, I glanced at the digital clock on the dashboard. It read a few minutes to nine. With a deep breath, I gathered my belongings and prepared to step out into the calm atmosphere of the terminal.Exiting the car proved to be a bit of a challenge, as it was a tall vehicle and I needed some assistance from the driver to help my way down. Once on solid ground, I thanked him and retrieved my bags, ready to begin the next leg of the journey.The airport didn't buzz with activity as it should, no sound of the usual chatter and the hum of engines that was supposed to fill the air. Neon signs illuminated the terminal, casting a colorful glow over the dark area. I made my way through the large wooden boxes that scattered around, didn't know the use or what was inside, but it was there. I followed the signs that pointed towards the departure gates.After a bit of searching, I spotted Victor and his assistant standing near the entrance to the lone open pla
I was tired, but he was more tempting and my ability to make a good decision was never good whenever he was around. So I gently grabbed his face pulled him back into an intense kiss.Hard, until I could taste blood, I didn't know whose, but it was satisfying. I put everything into it. Unconsciously drawing closer to him, I only realized when I'm kneeling at the edge of the bed and he traces his fingers over the swells of my breasts.He kissed my neck, and a tiny simper left my lips. I breathe in his rosy cologne and my head went woozy from the intoxicating scent.“You're so fucking responsive” He whispered. “And I love it”We pulled away, and I saw the his lips tinged with blood. He traced his thumb over it and then sucked on his blood-stained thumb.He chuckled. “Violent, Aren't you?” Before I could answer, the door bell rang and Victor went to answer it, I hear him thank someone as I relaxed on the bed. He then shut the door, locked it and walked up to me with the box of pizza in o
“Have it sent back before afternoon”As I stirred from sleep, I heard Victor's voice conversing with someone at the door. Rubbing my eyes, I realized I was on the bed despite dozing off in the armchair last night.With a groan, I pushed myself upright, feeling more exhausted than usual. Victor hurried over as he closed the door, concern etched on his face.“Are you okay? You look tired,” He asked, reaching out to help me up.“Yeah, I'm fine, I think,” I replied, stifling a sneeze. “Just a bit chilly, and maybe I overdid with the massage.”“The party still on for you?” He took a glass of water from the table and gave it to me.I took a large gulp and gave it back. “Yeah, don't worry” I sneezed again. And again.Oh, Goodness!After breakfast, Victor helped me arranged my dress and my heels and then we dressed up and stopped by at a salon to make my hair and then we came back.I'm tired.Seven pm drew nearer to the anticipated time of the red carpet party, Victor mentioned he needed to s
