Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 19

Cecilia

Walking through the winding corridors of Amanson Hotel, my nerves were on edge. I kept glancing back, listening for footsteps.

The hotel was eerily quiet. I hadn’t encountered a single staff member since leaving Dora, and the silence made my heart race uncomfortably.

After walking for a while with no sign of anyone following me, 1 allowed myself to relax slightly.

Maybe I was overthinking things. If Dora had wanted to use underhanded methods against me, she would have done so long ago-not when I was voluntarily walking away from her son. Sure, she was upset about the settlement money, but to the Green family, fifty million was barely a piece of cake.

Dora wasn’t stupid enough to try something now.

The main lobby was just around the corner ahead. I pulled out my phone to check the time.

Perfect timing to contact Liam. I began typing a message: “I’m here, in..”

Before I could finish those last two words, as I turned the corner, a woman in a black notel uniform collided with me. She immediately apologized, “‘m so sorry, excuse me.” She reached out to steady me.

“It’s fine, I’m okay, don’t-”

My words died in my throat as a cold, sharp pain shot through my neck. Within seconds, my vision began to blur.

Everything around me became distant and hazy, as if I were falling down a deep well. My body felt trapped, immobilized. I wanted to fight back but had no strength. I tried to scream for help, but no sound came out.

The female server’s lips curved into a disturbing smile as she tightened her grip on me under the pretense of support. “Are you alright, miss? Which suite are you staying in?

That way? I’ll help you back to your room.”

After answering her own questions, she forcefully guided me down another, more secluded corridor.

Panic consumed me.

(Someone, please help…])

I remembered my phone, which id slipped into my coat pocket when we collided. The unfinished message was still there. Using every ounce of strength I had left, 1 painfully moved my hand into my pocket.

My fingers moved slowly and carefully, relying entirely on touch to find the keyboard, i managed to type “help” before hitting send.

Sebastian

The hotel courtyard was quiet-too quiet. The meeting had gone smoothly, the client appeased, and the whiskey in my glass was just starting to take the edge off when Liam’s phone chimed.

1 didn’t miss the way his brow furrowed as he read the message.

“What’s wrong?” 1 asked, though I already knew. Liam wasn’t one to let confusion show unless it mattered.

He handed me the phone without a word. ” arranged to meet Cecilia at eight o’clock. She just messaged saying she’s arrived, but… the last words are strange. Could you help me understand what she means?”

I shot him a look-cold, reproachful. My gaze dropped to the screen.

“m here, in help.”

A pause.

Help.

‘Not’in the hotel.”Not”in the lobby.”

In help.

My fingers tightened around the device. That wasn’t a typo. That was a warning.

Without hesitation, I initiated a video call.

Liam blinked. “Alpha-?”

I ignored him. The screen connected, but all I saw were blurred shapes-dim orange-gray, Like a poorly lit room. No face. No recognizable surroundings.

And then the sounds.

Footsteps. Too slow.

The drag of shoes against the floor-not walking.Being dragged.

Labored breathing.

I ended the call and tossed the phone back to Liam. “Ask if she’s been to the hotel.” His face paled as he dialed. The front desk confirmed it-a beautiful woman had arrived at seven. Left a suit for safekeeping. Then… left with a middle-aged man.

Liam’s voice wavered. Wasn’t she supposed to meet you? Why would she leave with someone else-?”

I was already standing.

He hung up again the second time.

My heart grew colder, the pain cutting deeper…

The third time, the call connected, but it wasn’t Xavier who spoke-it was Cici.

“Xavier doesn’t want to talk to you. Why do you keep calling?” she said.

Then she giggled happily. “By the way, do you like the studs we arranged for you? Let me tell you a secret-they’re not just kinky perverts, one of them has HIV.”

“Pray that you don’t survive tonight. If you do, things will be even worse for you.”

“Of course, we’re not afraid if you go to the police. In this city, crushing you would be like stepping on an ant. You can’t win against us.”

“Don’t blame us for being cruel-you brought this on yourself by being greedy. To be honest, from the moment you discovered his affair, he knew about it. He deliberately strung you along for tonight-to destroy you. Once you’ve signed the agreentent and become damaged goods, we won’t need to pay you a penny.”

“Oh, and…tomorrow, I become his Luna-in name, bond, and blood. How does that feel, Cecilia? I’ve taken your mate, your title…and soon, your place in this world.”

“IIl be happy and blessed for life, growing old with Xavier.”

“And you? You can do nothing but die in pain.” Cici laughed triumphantly before hanging up.

The phone slid from my ear.

Despair, grief, and overwhelming hatred tore through my insides.

The woman by the sofa activated her phone’s camera. “Alright, let’s begin. The client said to go all out-don’t hold back.”

All seven or eight men surrounded me.

1 desperately tried to grab a pillow to throw at them, but my hands were restrained and tied to the headboard. My legs were pinned down too. Countless hands reached for me, tearing at my clothes…

Hot tears filled my eyes, streaming down my face.

When I saw an ugly, obese man climb onto the bed with a syringe aimed at my thigh, I wanted to die immediately.

1 bit down on my tongue, trying to end my life.
