Chapter 9 - So Hard
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Luna’s hands were table as she turned to look at Melody. There was a smile on her face. “See! I told you. Everything’s going to be fine!”
She seemed to be very happy. But she wasn’t happy because she had won. She was happy because of the so-called “Luck”.
Melody was so shocked that she couldn’t say anything.
“Boss Rick, one must accept one’s losses during a wager, am I right?” Luna glanced at Rick with a cunning look in her eyes. “Time to pay me!”
Rick turned and looked at a follower next to him. That follower of his only hesitated for a moment before leaving.
Emmett suddenly screamed out, “You cheated! How’s that possible?!”
How could she get sixes for all five dice?
Luna pretended that she hadn’t heard him. Once she had received a message that she had received six million, she then waved at Rick with a smile and said, “You’re a straightforward man, unlike someone who schemes and plots behind one’s back! Rick, if you want to get back at someone, just look for Emmett! I’m leaving, thanks for everything!”
While she sounded like she was praising Rick, in truth she was insinuating that he had been playing tricks behind her back.
However, since everything started because of Emmett, if he wanted to find someone to get back to, he would have to find Emmett.
She led Melody out of Golden Paradise and directly to her car. Melody felt like she was still in a dream. She quickly turned and asked, “Luna, how did you do that?”
Luna smirked and said, “I told you it’s luck! If not, how could I have lost so many times just now? I’ve been so unlucky earlier, so it was time I received some luck, right? It’s fine, don’t overthink it, I’ll send you back!”
She would never tell Melody that she had accidentally met a master gambler in a mission in her previous life.
She could make something like the dice give her whatever number she wanted.
Rick’s little tricks were nothing in front of her.
“Really?” Melody’s voice was shaky as she was still a bit scared. “Boss Rick has lost so much money. He won’t do anything to you, will he?”
“Don’t worry. He won’t!” Luna said as she whistled as if she was in a very good mood.
As long as Rick could keep his calm and not let the six million consume him, he could then analyze if it was worth it as long as Alexander White was on her side.
After all, it wasn’t worth losing his life over six million.
When she returned to the mansion, she saw Alexander sitting on the sofa the moment she entered the door.
Something was wrong. Someone was in a very bad mood.
Luna greeted him and asked in a calm voice, “Oh? Mrs. Niles said that you’ll only be back in the evening. Everything alright with work?”
Alexander turned and his perfect face appeared in her eyes. “What? You’re not happy that I’m home earlier?”
His eyes were dark as if trying to suppress something within.
“No, no.” Luna shook her head and handed her a bag to him, “Here, a present for you.”
Alexander looked at the logo on the bag and said, “I don’t wear this brand.”
Oh ho! She wanted to please him only after she started some trouble?
“Alright,” Luna answered with some disappointment. “Too bad. I think this color really suits you.”
For some reason, that made Alexander slightly regret what he had said just now.
“Where did you go this morning?”
Luna was slightly taken aback. “The Golden Paradise Clubhouse,” She answered.
Alexander raised an eyebrow. At least she was honest. “I heard that Emmett lost a tooth. You did that? You’re becoming quite the woman. You even plotted against Ricardo Muti for his money?”
Ricardo “Rick” Muti. That was Boss Rick’s full name.
He was shocked when he heard about it in the morning.
Originally, he wanted to save her, but then he was told that Luna was already on her way back.
When he left the company so abruptly, everyone thought that something serious had happened.
They didn’t realize that he was doing it just for his wife whom he hadn’t married yet.
“How did the news get to you so fast?!” Luna was shocked, but she kept her surprise to herself. “I- I simply wanted to help Melody get back at that idiot Emmett. Melody had been dancing since primary school, but because of him, she can hardly walk now. I didn’t expect that Rick wouldn’t let us leave. We gambled because I had no choice.”
“Is that so?” Alexander’s finger tapped on the table slowly, and the scene was like a teacher talking to a student. “You’re quite good, but those boys seemed to have taken an interest in you. They wanted revenge.”
He had never heard that Luna was trained in martial arts and that she could fight five people at once.
Luna seemed to be suppressed by his aura and coughed. “They wouldn’t dare to do anything to me with you here.”
‘Did he plant a bug on me or something? How does he know everything?
‘Great. I have to be much more careful from now on.’
“Looks like I gave you a lot of confidence,” Alexander said as he looked at her eyes that were filled with some very complex emotions. “How are you going to thank me?”
Luna was stunned and said, “I, uh, say it then! I’ll do what you tell me to.”
As soon as she had said that, Alexander suddenly stood up and pulled Luna into his embrace.
His arms were like steel, and Luna couldn’t budge. “What- What are you doing?”
Alexander was about twenty centimeters taller than her. His handsome face was looking down at her, and his voice was filled with both anger and scorn. She wasn’t sure what he wanted to do.
“You’re afraid now? Weren’t you very courageous when you fought in Golden Paradise? Hm?”
Luna tried to struggle. Originally she wanted to use some of his tricks. But the moment that she remembered that she still had to depend on him to live here, she instantly gave him a fawning smile. “Are you angry? Please don’t be angry, alright? It’s my fault.”
“Your fault? Tell me then, what did you do wrong?” Alexander’s arms grabbed her up, and she was so close that her lips almost touched his.
“Er… That…” Luna was stunned for a moment and tried asking, “Is it because I didn’t tell you before I left?”
Alexander remained silent.
Luna hesitated a bit and continued, “I shouldn’t have gambled?”
Alexander was still quiet.
Looking at Alexander’s angry face, Luna was confused and said, “I’m fine, really. Please don’t get angry?”
Maybe because her voice was too soft, or maybe because she got it right this time, his expression had finally softened. He said, “If you want to do something, tell me beforehand, alright? I’m your husband. I don’t want to hear news about you from others, alright?”
Luna nodded and said, “Alright. You won’t.”
She didn’t expect that the rumored cold, icy man would be someone overprotective of his wife.
Once he received her answer, Alexander finally let her go. “Alright, go and change. My parents and my younger brother want to meet with you!”
Luna, who had just calmed down, became nervous once again. “What? Can I… not go?”
“What do you think?” Alexander gave her a glance. He didn’t even have to threaten her with words.
Luna sighed and gave up.
Her life was so hard. Oh, so hard..
Luna’s hands were table as she turned to look at Melody. There was a smile on her face. “See! I told you. Everything’s going to be fine!”
She seemed to be very happy. But she wasn’t happy because she had won. She was happy because of the so-called “Luck”.

Emmett suddenly screamed out, “You cheated! How’s that possible?!”
