Chapter 1223 After Story: Reunited At Last [Part 1]
Luna sighed for the umpteenth time, as she stared at the picture frame in her hands. It was a picture of Lux and her posing for a commemorative photo before their ballroom scene was filmed.
There were other picture frames hanging on her wall, and one of them was taken when she and Lux went out on a "date", when the two of them had a day off from work.
Back then, they still hadn't made their feelings known to each other. And yet, their closeness was enough for both of them to understand what the other truly felt.
Glancing at the clock, Luna knew that it was finally time to go.
"I'm off, Lux," Luna said softly before kissing the Half-Elf in the picture. She then placed the picture frame back on the table beside her bed before leaving her room.
Today, she was going to audition for the leading role of a movie adaptation.
This was another big production that many actors, and actresses were aiming to get.
Since she had nothing better to do with her time, she decided to take a chance at it, while waiting for her beloved to return to her.

Since she had nothing better to do with her time, she decided to take a chance at it, while waiting for her beloved to return to her.
"Are you confident in getting the role?" Hollie asked as she drove the car towards their destination.
"All I can say is that I'll do my best," Luna replied. "If I get it then good. If not… then there's always other projects to join."
"That's right! There are many opportunities out there waiting for you. Just take one step at a time."
"Mmm."
When they arrived at the venue where the Actors and Actresses would be screened, Luna felt someone staring at her.
This wasn't the first time that something like this happened, so she was already used to it. But, this time, she felt very uncomfortable as if the one staring at her was looking at her with malicious intent.
Glancing in the direction where she felt the gaze was coming from, he saw a handsome young man with blonde hair and blue eyes.
She immediately recognized him as one of the Producers of the Movie that she planned to audition for.
"Don't look at that creep, Gustav," Hollie whispered. "He's always chasing the skirts of promising young actresses who don't have a strong backing. Many in the industry have already been ruined by him. "So, if he approaches you, just firmly reject him. It doesn't matter if you don't get this role or not. It's much better than being this guy's plaything."
Luna nodded and no longer paid attention to the Producer, who was looking at her with lustful eyes.
There was one project she had participated in where Gustav had been one of the producers of the show, and he made a move on Luna. Fortunately, Hollie was always with her, so he backed down when Luna's manager threatened to sue him. Even so, he had been eyeing Luna since her idol days, and he was one of her fans. But, he wanted to be more than a fan.
He wanted her, which made him decide to join this big production as one of its producers.
Gustav was one of the people who had the authority to pick the roles for the actors and actresses who would be auditioning today.
He had already prepared the perfect bait for Luna, who had done everything in her power to stay out of his sight.
Her record in the industry was quite clean. But, when Lux appeared in her life, Gustav knew that he needed to make his move before his target was stolen away from him.
Fortunately, the red-headed teenager disappeared, and although Gustav tried to find him, he wasn't even able to find the young man's shadow.
Still, he gathered enough material, and even fabricated a scandal that could destroy Luna's career once he made it public.
Simply put, he planned to blackmail Luna in order to make her his plaything, which was something that he had been planning to do for a long time.
Two hours later, Luna finished her audition and was about to go to where Hollie was waiting for her. That was when she met Gustav in the hallway. Luna had found it weird that no one was in the hallway when she finished her audition. Now that she was seeing the man in front of her, she finally understood the situation.
"What do you want?" Luna asked, not moving from where she stood.
"You," Gustav replied as he walked towards the young actress, whom he had violated so many times in his fantasies. "You're the one I want, Luna."
Luna knew that she couldn't move forward, so she decided to return to where she had come from. But, just as she was about to do that, three men wearing black appeared at the other end of the hallway.
Clearly, they had no intention of letting go.
"You know, if you just say yes, I promise you that you will live a very fulfilling life," Gustav said. "You will get the leading roles of any projects that you wish to have with my help. Most new actresses would jump at the opportunity to be in your shoes, Luna. So, why not become my woman and make your dreams come true?"
"I don't need you to make my dreams come true," Luna replied coldly. "If you don't let me go, I'm going to scream."
"Go ahead." Gustav smiled. "Although I'd like to make you scream in bed, hearing it now is also good."
Luna knew that if she didn't do anything now, it would end up badly for her. At that moment, a scream echoed in the hallway.
However, it wasn't the scream of a lady, but the scream of a man, whose arm was bent in a weird angle.
Luna's eyes widened in shock when she saw a girl, who looked just like her younger self.
After breaking Gustav's right arm, the girl went ahead to break his other arm, making Gustav scream a second time.
The men in black suits, who were behind Luna, immediately moved to rescue their employer.
But, they only managed to take a few steps when they suddenly collapsed on the ground, unconscious.
Luna looked at the young man, whom she hadn't seen for a while, making her cover her lips to hold back a sob.
Lux hugged the lady he loved and planted a kiss on her forehead.
"You and your sister still have a lot of catching up to do, so why don't you leave first?" Lux said before wiping the tears that had now started to fall from Luna's eyes. "Don't worry. I'll just do a bit of cleanup and follow the two of you right away, okay?"
Luna nodded before running towards her beloved sister, whom she hadn't seen in many years.
A moment later, both of them disappeared from the hallway, leaving only a screaming Gustav behind. contemporary romance
Lux's smile disappeared from his face as he walked towards the man, who tried to harm his woman.
Soon, more screams of pain reverberated inside the hallway, as Lux made sure that Gustav would never threaten a woman again in his lifetime.
