Chapter 27
“Never knew you would be this unpredictable. I mean, you made up that miscarriage story to guilt trip
Ethan into marrying you, the man remarked, his eyes scanning the expanse of the opulent office.
Months had passed since Ethan’s divorce, yet Be remained unsettled in her marriage. Unbeknownst
to her, Ethan’s heart. still yearned for Hazel, and Be couldn’t shake the feeling that she was merely a
stand-in for the woman who had captured Ethan’s thoughts and dreams. Despite being at Ethan’s side,
she felt like a substitute, and he hadn’t officially made her Luna
yet.
Then, the turning point arrived on a night marked by a fierce argument that left Be in a storm of
emotions. Her impulsive decision to storm off led to a harrowing collision with one of Ethan’s enemies.
Faced with the urgent need to secure her hold on Ethan, a devious n began to take shape in her
mind. The idea of a fabricated pregnancy and miscarriage seemed like the perfect weapon to
manipte Ethan’s emotions. To her surprise, it worked like a charm. Ethan, consumed by guilt,
became more considerate toward her, halting his relentless quest for Hazel and marrying Be trying to
make it up to her. Gabriel couldn’t help but chuckle in amusement as he witnessed Be’s predicament.
“Who would have known he would still be nampted and guilt-tripped by you five years after, he
mused, his voice dripping with sarcasm.
The man who seemed to take pleasure in Be’s difort,ughed out loud. That’s why he’s with
you, isn’t it? Because he feels guilty and sorry,” he taunted, hisughter echoing in the room
Be’s patience wore thin, and annoyance colored her features. “Stop it,” she snapped, her voiceced
with irritation. She refused to let this man’s words undermine her confidence. “I am still Luna,” she
dered, her head held high in defiance. A wicked grin yed on the man’s l*ps as he advanced
towards her, his authoritative presence casting a shadow over her. “Yes, but a fake one,” he asserted,
his tone dripping with superiority. “I made you who you are right now, cleaned up your messes. Even
when you framed Hazel and faked the mate bond too. I did all that for you,” he stated firmly, towering
above her
He relished in the difort he caused, hisughter ringing out. “I wonder what the Alpha’s reaction
would be when he finds out he’s been fooled all along. Wow! It’s going to be wild,” he added, his
amusement growing.
Be’splexion paled, and her frustration boiled within her. “What do you want?” she asked in a
panic, her hands clenched at her sides. She yearned to erase the smugness from his face and make
him disappear.
“What do I want?” he repeated, his amusement vanishing as he gripped her wrist forcefully, pinning her
to the door. “This was all supposed to be for revenge, Abigail,” he spat, his tone filled with resentment.
“But you became all caught up in ying Luna. You love being the expensive, ssy wife of a
prominent man, don’t you? You forgot all about everything.” Be’s voice wavered as fear crept in. I
didn’t, she protested, her eyes wide with fright.
His anger red, and he shook her fiercely. “What I want is very simple, he dered, his eyes filled with
rage. “What I want is for Ethan and everything that belongs to him to burn” His grip on Be intensified,
his voice dripping with malice as he uttered his ominous desires.
“That is what I want,” he muttered, his head jerking from side to side, his gaze fixed on some unseen
specter in the room. His crazed demeanor sent shivers down Be’s spine, making her back away until
she collided with the wall.
“What I want. What I want,” he repeated maniacally, hisughter filling the room. Be, overwhelmed
by fear, couldn’t help but cry out, “Stop it!”
Ignoring her cries, he continued his senseless ramblings, appearing utterly unhinged. Then, suddenly,
he paused, fixing his vacant gaze on her for what felt like an eternity while she remained frozen in
ce. It was as if he had momentarily snapped out of his madness.
Blinking several times, he seemed to regain hisposure, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.
“I’ll be watching you. Every single time he dered before turning and vanishing from her presence.
Be’s legs gave way, and she sank to the floor in weakness. She remained there for a long while
before gradually regaining her strength. Slowly, she began to pace around hervishly appointed office,
which overlooked the sprawling city below. She cherished her current life, reveling in the power, wealth,
and influence she had attained, not to mention her marriage to Ethan Those were things she couldn’t
hear to lose
She realized she needed to take action regarding Gabriel While her initial intentions for getting close to
Ethan had been driven by revenge, over time, she had fallen deeply in love with him. She cherished
her role as the Luna and all the power and influence it brought her. She couldn’t simply discard
everything she had worked for in pursuit of some revenge,
Gabriel had disappeared only to reuirface unexpectedly now. Be couldn’t help but wonder about his
ulterior motives. One thing was clear: Ethan innst never find out about her past involvement with
Gabriel. The consequences of such a fevtion would be dire, and Ethan would likely never forgive
her. She resolved to protect her position as Luma at all costs

through the city streets, finallying to halt in front of the impressive Tesco Empire building Hazel
exited the taxi gracefully, her heart pounding with a mix of excitement and anxiety. Although this was

tone.
As they entered the bustling reception area, representatives from variouspanies were vying for

formidable, and their dreams hinged on winning

Approaching the front desk, they were greeted by a professional-looking woman who inquired about

The woman nodded and collected their folders before leading them to an elevator, each of them

Hazel couldn’t shake the unease settling in her stomach. They had secured a simr contract before
but lost it due to unforeseen circumstances. She worried about the impending meeting with the CEO,
fearing that their hard work over the past eight months might go to waste.
Hours passed, and finally, apany staff member exited the boardroom.
“Starlight,” she called, and both Hazel and Chloe stood up, heading for the door of the boardroom.
However, nothing could have prepared Hazel for the sight that awaited her inside. Seated at the head
of the table was her ex-husband, Ethan. Her hands trembled, and she inadvertently dropped the things
she was carrying, including the prototype of their design, which shattered on the floor.
