Chasing His Kickass Luna Back
Chapter 138

Chapter 0138

Her words throw me off. How long has this been going on? How long had Gianna secretly been wishing

that Abby wasn’t in the picture? And how many lengths has she attempted to go to in order to ensure

that Abby can’t be in the picture?

I lean in, my voice tinged with both annoyance and incredulity. “My choices, especially about who I

choose as my Luna, are not up for debate or discussion. Not by you, not by anyone. I intend to bring

Abby back into my life. She deserves that spot, and nothing you say or do will change that. Do you

understand?”

But then, just as I think I have a handle on the situation, Gianna’s next words hit me like a tidal wave.

“Fine,” she says, huffing. “You’re a man, you can make your own decisions. But Karl, there’s something

else.”

I sigh. “What is it?”

Gianna pauses for a few moments. The silence feels almost too heavy, but as she utters her next

words, I wish that she hadn’t. “It’s not just that I think you can do better. I…I have feelings for you, Karl.”

My eyes widen, my mouth agape as I process her revelation. “What? Is that true?”

She looks away momentarily, her face flushed. “Yes. It’s been true for a long time, actually. Years.”

“Years?” I find myself incredulous and bewildered. “Why am I hearing about this now? How come I

never noticed?”

She laughs bitterly. “Why would you? You had everything you wanted. You had Abby, you had your

pack. Where did I fit into that grand scheme of things? I was just your secretary, someone who took

care of your schedules, meetings, and paperwork. So, I kept it hidden. My feelings, my longing,

everything.”

I fall silent, my mind racing to make sense of this sudden and complex twist. My hand involuntarily goes

up to rub my temples as I try to process her words, to sift through the layers of emotional and ethical

dilemmas they present.

Seizing the momentary pause, Gianna suddenly rushes toward me, arms outstretched, as if attempting

a hug. “Karl, all I want is to be with you. And I’ve seen the way you look at me. I know you have those

feelings for me, too.”

But she’s dead wrong. As her arms wrap around me, I react without thinking. Startled, my reflexes kick

in, and I find myself shoving her away. “Have you gone mad?” I nearly shout.

However, she stumbles, her ridiculously high heels teetering dangerously as she almost crashes to the

ground. Instinctively, I reach out and grab her arm, steadying her before she falls. “I’m sorry, I didn’t

mean to—”

“Karl—”

She looks up, and for a fleeting moment, our faces are dangerously close. As though she feels

emboldened, or perhaps just desperate, she leans in, tilting her chin up.

Before I can stop her, her l*ps meet mine. I’m suddenly caught in a tangle that I didn’t mean to be a part

of, and I’m too stunned to even pull away, which makes her seem to believe that I wanted this. Her k*ss

grows more fervent.

And to make matters worse, the door bursts open before I have a chance to come to my senses and

push her away.

Gerald, my loyal butler, steps in. I manage to shove Gianna away, causing her to fall backwards on my

desk, sending papers scat tering across the floor.

But when I see the look on his face—one of urgency, almost panic—I find myself momentarily

forgetting about what happened with Gianna.

“Gerald?” I ask, my eyes narrowing as I then see Abby being pulled along behind him, his fingers

gripping her arm all too tightly. “What is this about?”

Abby’s eyes meet mine, filled with a complicated mix of confusion, guilt, and agony as she sees me pull

away from Gianna, her l*pstick smeared across my face.

“Karl,” Gerald interrupts, clearly unperturbed by the scene before him, “I caught Abby trying to steal

information from your computer.”
