Chapter 19 - Unveiling secrets

Luna's eyes scanned the grand mansion that the kidnappers had kept her in, and she couldn't help but be captivated by its beauty. The mansion stood tall and imposing, with its elegant architecture and intricate details. The exterior was adorned with large, arched windows that allowed the sunlight to filter through, casting a warm glow on the surrounding gardens. The walls were made of smooth, cream-colored stone, giving the mansion an air of sophistication.

As Luna listened intently, she heard voices echoing through the halls. The words became clearer, and she could make out the chilling demand, "We've got the girl, pay us." Her heart raced, realizing the gravity of her situation.

Suddenly, the door swung open, revealing a man who stood tall and exuded an aura of confidence. He had a commanding presence, with broad shoulders and a strong jawline. His piercing eyes, a striking shade of deep blue, seemed to hold a hint of mystery. His dark, tousled hair fell effortlessly over his forehead, adding to his rugged charm. Despite the tense circumstances, Luna couldn't help but notice his undeniable handsomeness.

Beside him stood a woman who emanated grace and elegance. Her features were delicate, with high cheekbones and a flawless complexion. Her eyes sparkled with intelligence and kindness, their color a mesmerizing shade of emerald green. Her luscious, flowing locks cascaded down her back in waves, framing her face perfectly. She possessed an ethereal beauty that seemed to radiate from within.

The pair spoke in hushed tones, their voices barely audible to Luna. Their words were filled with urgency and bitterness, as they talked.

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. The handsome man standing before me called me by my name "Luna", but I had no recollection or any memory of this man. Confusion washed over me as I tried to make sense of the situation.

"Why did you kidnap me?" I asked, hoping for some answers. But the handsome man seemed disinterested in my questions, dismissing them with a wave of his hand.

"You are the bitch our baby brother married," he spat out, his words dripping with disdain. The mention of a baby brother caught me off guard. I had been married to Brian, but we had long since divorced. How could this man be referring to him as his baby brother?

My mind raced, trying to piece together the puzzle. Who was this man? I looked at him, searching for any familiarity, but his face remained a stranger to me.

As if sensing my confusion, a beautiful woman stepped forward, her eyes filled with curiosity. She reached out and gently touched my face, her fingers tracing my features. "She's pretty," she remarked, seemingly lost in thought.

Her words struck a chord within me. I was Brian first wife,then who is Olivia? why would Brian have been so enamored with me? What had made him fall in love and marry me? The questions swirled in my mind, but the answers remained elusive.

I couldn't shake the feeling that something was amiss. The handsome man's words and the woman's touch only deepened my confusion. What do they want with me? And most importantly, where was Brian in all of this?

Luna was taken aback by the sudden introduction of Sebastian and Angela, claiming to be Brian's siblings. She hadn't heard anything about Brian having any siblings during their marriage, so she was understandably confused.

"Nice to meet you, Sebastian and Angela," Luna replied cautiously. "I wasn't aware that Brian had any siblings. Are you sure you have the right person?"

Sebastian smiled coldly and nodded. "Yes, Luna, we are absolutely sure. Brian never mentioned us because we had a falling out years ago. But we recently reconnected and thought it was time to meet you."

Angela chimed in, her voice filled with sincerity. "We do not know you or even know that Brian got married.Brian always kept your marriage a secret and we wanted to finally meet the woman who captured his heart."

Luna's mind was racing, trying to process this unexpected encounter. She had always thought she knew everything about Brian, but apparently, there were parts of his life that he had kept hidden from her.

"I appreciate you reaching out and wanting to meet me," Luna said, her voice tinged with curiosity. "But why did Brian never mention you? And why did you have a falling out?"

Sebastian's expression turned anger and he exchanged a glance with Angela before speaking. "It's a long story, Luna. One filled with family drama and misunderstandings. We don't want to burden you with our past issues, but Mother and father are not pleased with Brian,he was supposed to marry The second daughterof the Henry's family."

But no...Sebastian continued he went ahead to marry a low class worthless person like you,I wonder what he sees in you.Sebastin concluded laughing sarcastically.

Luna couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions. On one hand, she was intrigued by the idea of getting to know more about Brian's family. On the other hand, she couldn't shake off the feeling of betrayal, wondering why Brian had kept this part of his life hidden from her.

"I need some time to process all of this," Luna finally said, her voice filled with uncertainty."

Sebastian and Angela nodded understandingly, their eyes filled with empathy. "Of course, Luna. We completely understand. Take all the time you need. We're here whenever you're ready."Mother and father will like to see you Luna,Sebastian said.
