The Luna Is Gone

Chapter 79

Diana’s pov

The next day, I was awakened by the sun shining through the window.

When I opened my eyes, Nathan was standing in front of the floor mirror fiddling with his tie.

Yesterday, we talked until late at night.

In order to avoid someone monitoring us again, we ultimately chose to sleep in the same bed.

However, nothing happened to us.

We lay back to back, like two strangers who would never talk.

“Since you wake up, go dress yourself up. Your clothes are on the sofa.” Nathan turned around and looked at me, his hands in his pockets.

I yawned, sat up from the bed, stretched my waist, and then walked towards the bathroom in my slippers.

Taking a few steps, I stopped and rubbed my sleepy eyes. I turned to Nathan and asked, “Is there anything to eat? I’m hungry.”

Nathan remained silent, his amber pupils dimmed, and his gaze scanned me.

“Are you seducing me?” He asked a few seconds later.

“What?” I froze for a moment, then instinctively lowered my head. Then, my whole body froze. This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

Since Nathan took off my underwear yesterday, I have forgotten to put it on again. In addition, the silver dress was short. After a night in bed, a large part of it was rolled up to my waist, so that my buttocks were exposed naked.

I immediately pulled down my dress and yelled at Nathan, “Only when my brain is broken! Freak!”

I walked into the bathroom and forcefully closed the door.

The sound was so loud that the overhead chandelier swayed.

After a quick shower, I came out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.

On the sofa were two Chanel bags, each containing a formal dress and shoes.

I was just about to change clothes when Nathan cleared his throat at the dining table.

“Eat something first,” he said.

On the table was a sumptuous breakfast. I walked over and asked, “Why is there only one serving?”

“I’m not hungry,” Nathan said.

“So you ordered it specifically for me?” I raised my eyebrows and looked at him.

“Don’t think too much. I’m just afraid you don’t have the strength to handle today’s scene,” Nathan said calmly.

want me to die.”

frowned.

Don’t talk while eating.”

I shrugged nonchalantly.

After breakfast, I changed into the formal dress, put on makeup, and followed Nathan on the cruise ship.

Lewis held a grand banquet on the cruise ship.

A large number of guests gathered on site, each dressed up to attend, making it look like a normal and legal commercial banquet.

What I mean was, if they were not from Blood Shadow Pack, if today’s cooperation was not Wolfsbane, it might be a normal banquet.

I walked into the venue holding Nathan’s arm, and many people looked at us.

I heard some people lamenting that we were a match, which made me feel a bit dazed for a moment.

It has been three years… This was the first time I have been able to hold Nathan’s arm and attend a banquet.

In the past, most of the time, either he walked ahead and I followed behind him, or he held onto another woman, and I could only be a bystander.

Ironically, even though I was standing next to him, we were just acting.

In his heart, there was only disgust and hatred towards me.

Lewis walked towards us with a glass of red wine.

“Mr. Emerson, did you sleep well last night?” When he asked, he deliberately glanced at me with a hint of playfulness in his eyes.

Nathan took a step forward and blocked me with half of his shoulder.

“Good,” Nathan said. “Mr. Lee, thank you for your hospitality.”

Lewis smiled and raised his glass, saying, “It seems that this lady is really important

to you. You won’t even let others take a look.”

Nathan had a polite smile on his face, neither denying nor admitting.

But I rolled my eyes in my heart.

I hadn’t forgotten he said he wanted to see me raped.

The so–called possessiveness was just Nathan’s performance to confuse Lewis. After all, we claimed we were in a romantic relationship, so we naturally needed to show some intimacy.

“Don’t worry, I never touch my brother’s women.” Lewis patted Nathan’s shoulder and said, “Let’s find a place to talk about business?”

Lewis took Nathan up to the deck, where there was a negotiation table.

And I wandered around at the banquet while they were discussing business.

Perhaps realizing that I was the lover of Lewis’s partner, many people came over to toast and get close to me.

To avoid getting drunk, I found an excuse to go to the bathroom.

However, when I came out of the bathroom, I bumped into an unexpected person. “Alex?” Knight grabbed my wrist, “How could you be here? And…dressed like this?” I was startled.

I didn’t expect to meet Knight here. My medicine should have made him fall asleep until tonight.

Unless…someone forcibly woke him up!

But when I left his room last night, I clearly locked the door.

“Why didn’t you sleep a little longer?” I asked tentatively.

“There was an important event on the cruise ship today. My subordinates had the key to my room, so they woke me up.” Knight explained and frowned at me, his expression gradually turning from surprise to gloominess. “You haven’t answered my question yet.”

My brain was spinning rapidly.

I remembered before I left, I gave Knight an order, which made him think he had had sex with me and forget about asking me to replace Chie.

I wanted to deceive this matter.

Because according to my original plan, I would definitely receive the formula for the stimulant and leave before Knight woke up.

But there have been too many changes in between… Things have been out of my control.

Knight has now become my threat.

The only fortunate thing was that from Knight’s shocked reaction, I could confirm that he hadn’t known about Nathan, which meant there was still room for me to lie. “I…” I organized my words in my mind and said, “I heard someone say our boss would hold a banquet here, so… I just wanted to take a look.”

“Is that all?”

“Yes,” I replied.

But Knight clearly didn’t trust me.

He lifted the tie of my dress on my shoulder, saying, “You think I’m a fool? I know what you are thinking!”

I suddenly looked up at him.

Knight continued, “I’ve seen many women like you. You’re here to catch wealthy men. You think I’m just a manager. I’m not rich enough, right? Or…do you think I didn’t satisfy you last night?”

My mouth twitched twice.

“Since you’re not satisfied, let’s do it once again! No, seven more times! I’ll definitely make you comfortable!”

I suddenly felt that my panic just now was ridiculous.

Why did I have to go to great lengths to think of a lie to deceive Knight? Wasn’t killing him the easiest way?

Besides, disgusting scumbags like him should die.

My nails were silently growing longer and sharper…

Knight was completely unaware.

He even felt that his proposal was good, with a smug look on his face. “Baby, let’s enjoy it again,” He said, trying to hold onto me.

I smiled slightly, appearing obedient on the surface, but muttered to myself—- You brought it for yourself.

However, just as I was about to break his neck, a man’s voice interrupted me. “What are you doing here?”

I turned my head in shock and saw Lewis and Nathan standing in the hallway not far

away.

And that question was raised by Lewis.

In an instant, my adrenaline skyrocketed.

And in this brief moment of confusion, I have missed the best opportunity to kill Knight.

Knight let go of me and ran all the way to Lewis, “Boss, I just want to…” Pop!

Before Knight could finish speaking, Lewis slapped him to the ground. “How dared you touch Mr. Emerson’s woman?” Lewis roared.

Knight covered his face and got up from the ground, his expression shocked. “Boss, are you saying she…” Knight pointed at me, “…is Mr. Emerson’s woman?”

Lewis glared angrily at him.

“No! Impossible!” Knight shook his head frantically. “She is a beggar I picked up from roadside. She said she was a slave who escaped from a wealthy businessman. How could she be Mr. Emerson’s –”

Knight’s voice came to a sudden halt as he looked at me and asked, “Mr. Emerson is the businessman?”

Lewis answered this question for me.

“Yes. Mr. Emerson had cleared up the misunderstanding with her last night. They were all my guests today. And you disrespected my guest. How should I punish you?”

Lewis’s legs softened and he almost couldn’t stand steady.

But soon, he shouted, “No… no! Alex was clearly in my bed last night. How could she

be with Mr. Emerson? It’s impossible!”
