章節 23: Engagement
"Divorce Andy and then marry me, Luna," said Robert, his words made Luna feel pressed.
Luna shook her head slowly, she shrank back the tears that were constantly flowing out onto Luna's face, "I can't divorce Andy, Robert. I am sorry..."
"But the child you are carrying is mine, not Andy's. Isn't that right?" asked Robert to confirm the truth to Luna.
"The child I am carrying is Andy's child," answered Luna, she was forced to lie to her ex-lover. Luna turned her face to the car window avoiding Robert's probing gaze.
"You lied to me again ... I still remember the night we met for the first time after you got married, we talked late into the night and you asked me to sleep together. You never sleep with your husband, do you??" Robert spoke in Luna's ear in a rather low voice, then he kissed Luna's neck many times.
Luna quickly looked at him after Robert stopped kissing, Luna's eyes were wide staring intently at the handsome and charming man, "Stay away from me, Robert! What we did that night was a mistake!"
"If you think our relationship yesterday was a mistake, why did you enjoy it so much that you asked me to do it twice?!" sprayed Robert returned Luna's gaze with sparkling eyes, Robert's face was red, his heart was beating fast while Luna felt her chest tight.
Robert pressed Luna's body roughly, holding her shoulders, kissing Luna's cheeks, mouth, and neck in front of the driver. When Robert treated her like that in a dream that seemed so real, Luna suddenly woke up from her sleep. Her face and lips were pale, her body was limp.
She touched her dry lips because from morning until noon, she had not drank at all. She smiled wryly as she remembered her first kiss with Robert and the kiss in her dream earlier.
"Robert, if I could meet you again and be with you, I would be very happy," Luna muttered, her voice heavy, Luna's beautiful and clear eyes looked up at the sky which was still gray.
*****
Two weeks later in a spacious and magnificent five-star hotel, Andy was seen walking towards the woman who was standing in front of the guests with her parents, two brothers, and other family members. She wore a simple white dress that reached below her knees, her long hair was left loose, decorated with floral ornaments on her head and flawless make-up on her face.
The woman was very beautiful and elegant, but her eyes flashed sadness because she was forced to be engaged to a man she didn't know and didn't love. While Andy looked at Luna blankly, his thoughts were constantly being haunted by Elizabeth's face.
Andy was morose and uninspired, he ignored the applause of the happy guests and rejoiced to see that Andy would soon become the fiancé of the prettiest woman in Chicago. Luna is like the moon goddess who came down to earth and transformed into a human.
Luna lowered her head to hold back tears that almost broke, no one knew what was in Luna's heart. Likewise, Andy's heart had been shattered into pieces since Elizabeth left without a word, nor could he contact his lover who is now nowhere.
One of the guests sitting at the very back table not far from the ballroom entrance looked suspicious. He was busy sending messages to his friend who was walking in a hurry and panting to the ballroom on the 3rd floor.
[Where are you, Robert? Why did you take so long?]
[I am already on the 2nd floor, wait for me, Armando. I am coming soon.]
[Alright.]
Armando smirked then hurriedly put his cell phone in his trouser pocket. He hoped that Andy's engagement with Luna failed after Robert appeared in front of them. Armando is Luna's best friend as well as Robert, he planned something with Luna's lover one week before the event was held by Charlie and Arthur.
'If Robert appears in front of them and tells them that Luna is pregnant with his child, will Mr. Charlie believe what he says and then break off his son's engagement to my best friend??' Armando thought.
"For the sake of the woman he loved so much, Robert was forced to lie to everyone including his own family even though he didn't actually impregnate Luna," Armando muttered.
Both Robert and Armando didn't want Luna to be part of the Ferdinand family. Since then until now, Armando only wanted Luna to unite with Robert. Not with other men.
