Chapter 32 - Marry Me (1/2)

Luna weighed her options. If she accepted Sienna's terms, she would lose everything that was rightfully for her and Julian; and if she chose to become Hero's woman, what kind of woman would she be? She would be nothing but a trophy wife that would abide him until he deemed it was worthy enough to release her.

”I'll be on my way, Mom,” she replied before cutting off the line. Julian was in a grave condition, and she should be there as soon as possible. She couldn't afford to waste any more time.

Sienna looked at her expectantly. The small smile on her lips, indicating that her goal was almost in her reach. Ah, finally ... she can finally say that a thorn would be removed in her life. She had waited too long for Luna to come to her and seek for help.

”So? Are you going to agree or not?” Sienna asked. She was already rejoicing inwardly.

Luna could feel her hatred for her sister rose to another level. Was she really that desperate to get rid of her?

”Why are you still here?” Her father's voice roared, startling both women. ”Get out!” he yelled.

”You don't have to tell me!” Luna snapped back at her father. ”I know my way out!”

Afraid that their father would ruin her plan, Sienna stepped forward and tried to calm him down.

”Dad, it's alright. I will deal with Sister. She's just agitated from all the problems she's dealing with.” She walked towards her father and held his hand.

Stephen's eyes softened as he looked at Sienna. Ah, if only Luna could be as filial as Sienna, he wouldn't mind investing time and money to groom her.

Luna looked away, not wanting to see her father and half-sister gang up again her. She would rather sell herself to the devil than to agree and submit to Sienna and the Jiang family's terms. She swore she would find a way to get back what was hers.

In the end, her love for Julian was greater than any feelings she held in her heart. There was no respect for a woman who sold herself for money and power,

With slow and silent steps, she slipped outside the Jiang Mansion. It was only by then she realized that it was raining hard.

”Could this day get any worse?” she muttered to herself.

She made her way outside, making her dress soaking wet from the heavy rain. Her body chilled to the bones. The coldness of the night brought a shiver down her spine. Was there no other way to save her brother but to become someone's woman?

What had she done wrong to suffer like this?
