She is a new employee at Carter Corporations who catches the eye of her boss and CEO Ethan Carter. Ethan Carter is a cold man who closed the doors to his heart after being broken from a past relationship but the moment he lays his eyes on Luna Peyton, everything changes. Due to some circumstances, Luna travels to Blue City to make an interview on a famous celebrity Graham Cullen on behalf of her best friend and roommate, Bella Edwards. On laying her eyes on Graham Cullen, she falls in love with him immediately and loses her virginity to him despite his dangerous and flirtatious reputation for women. Will Ethan Carter let the one woman his heart opened to, be snatched away from him? Will Luna Peyton regret her decision of giving herself to a man she just met overnight? Will Graham Cullen change his ways for a woman? ____________________________________________ #Excerpt After making sure that she has lost them, she headed to the washroom to change out of the maids' outfit so as to fit in the ballroom. A while later, Luna came out of the washroom dressed. She was in a long spaghetti strap peach dress. It was backless which exposed the porcelain skin of her back. The dress had a long slit which ended at her mid thigh and with every step she took, her long legs came into view. She matched the dress with a pair of silver stilettos and a silver clutch. Her hair was tied into a messy bun leaving two strands falling on either sides of her small face. Her lips were painted with a deep shade of maroon lipstick giving her a nude look. Finally, her face was covered with a small silver shinny mask. She was a sight to drool. She slowly walked with confidence around the vast ballroom. She could tell how luxurious the ball was, not that she expected anything less from the Cullens. As she walked, her eyes were searching for only one particular person. She could see how she had started attracting unnecessary attention from both men and women. Men were clearly drooling while women were glaring at her jealously but she didn't care. She had a mission here. As she was still moving, her eyes caught sight of the person she has been looking for and she got rooted to the spot. He was leaning against a large pillar with both hands in his pockets looking down as if thinking about something and as if sensing a certain presence, he raised his head and saw a beautiful woman looking at him.

Chapter 134 Regret it in the future

The next day after work, Bella and Liam went to have dinner outside because she had told him that they had to discuss something important. On reaching the restaurant, they placed their orders and it's from here that she started to speak," We need to talk." "I'm listening," he said and she continued," First of all I want to thank you again for everything you've done for me, I will always appreciate this. But...." "But you want to back out from the engagement," he completed the sentence for her and she said," It's not like that. I can get someone I really trust to help you out. But please understand- " "I understand believe me. I saw it coming the moment I saw him and don't worry about me. I will find a way to deal with it. You shouldn't feel indebted or guilty," he said and it calmed her heart knowing that he wasn't offended but still she couldn't stop feeling guilty. "Thank you so much for understanding, Liam," she told him. "What are friends for? Isn't it to understand each other? So are you going back to Sun City?" he asked. She was silent for a while before saying, "I don't know" He looked at her before saying," I don't know what he did to you but I would advise you to go and find him if you still love him so that you don't regret it in the future."

Back in Blue City, Graham had started making preparations for Dylan's third birthday. It was going to be a grand party and on it, he was going to introduce him to the rest of the world and so many other things he had anticipated for this day. It was coming in a few months. When Luna looked at the budget made by Abigail, she couldn't believe it. "Isn't this a bit too much?" she asked them. "Not at all. I've tried to minimize everything," she said and Luna looked at Graham to get his view but he thought the same as Abigail. Sighing, she said," I honestly think that it's exaggerated. He's only making three, now what shall we do when he makes twelve or sixteen?" "Let us spoil him, he is a Cullen," said Graham and Abigail enthusiastically nodded her head before adding," You should remember that it's not just his birthday but also..." Graham glared at her as if daring her to complete the sentence and that's when she realized that she was going to spill the beans. "Also?" asked Luna oblivious. "Nothing, you shouldn't worry about anything. I will organise everything," Abigail assured her.

That same day, she received a call from Bella in the evening and she was so happy. "Bella, how are you?" she asked immediately when she realized who had called. "I'm fine. How are you?" "I'm good too. I'm glad you called." "Okay. How is Dylan? Tell him I miss him so much," she said. "I will be sure to tell him when he wakes up. How is life in Wingston? I miss you so much," Luna couldn't help but say. "I miss you too, and life here is not bad. Uhm... I called to tell you that I am going back to Sun City," she said and Luna was so happy when she heard that. "Sure? That is so great! When are you going?" "Next week probably, I'm still finalizing with some things. But don't tell him," she meant Ethan and Luna agreed before asking," Where are you going to stay then?" "I don't know yet but when I reach there, I will figure out something," she said and after speaking for a while, the call came to an end. Luna was so happy that Bella had finally decided to give him a second chance. She just hopped that Ethan wouldn't mess up again.

Going to Sun City, Ethan was in his office when he got a call from the person he had hired to keep an eye on Bella. Ever since he came back from Wingston, he had resumed working since his mind was clearer now. Even though they hadn't had a proper conversation with her, he was much calmer knowing where and how she was. Answering the call, he said," Yes, anything new?" "Yes, sir. It seems the miss is leaving Wingston." Hearing this, he stood up and asked," Where is she going?" He had thought that she wouldn't attempt to run away again. "I think she's heading towards the airport, I'm following her." "Make sure that you don't lose her and inform me the moment you find out where she's going," he said.

Hanging up, he walked to get himself some water. It seems he was wrong when he thought that things were soon going to be back to normal between them. What did she want him to do this time? After taking plenty of water, he went back to his seat and closed whichever work he was handling to clear his mind off.
