98 White fer War Away 

Tia.

The morning Luke left, I had my heart in my mouth, but I had to hide it. I couldn’t be the drip in our marriage. I almost lost my mind the last time he left on a mission. I knew I had to keep it together, hoping he would return to me. So with a bold face and confidence, I made a press release about his sickness that travelled through Woodclaw. At the same time, deep down, I prayed he would come home to me and address the people by himself.

ding operations at Diamond Corp wasn’t easy, but when we explained our reasons to the people, they calmed down a bit; I knew it would only take a month or two before they revolted. Diamond Corp’s suspension meant many businesses would suffer, and livelihoods would be affected. On the third day, there was a protest throughout the Island. I did not care much for the territories that had withdrawn their military support. However, I cared about the seven regions that still supported us. I was tempted to reopen because we were insured, but I did not know what else Luis would do, so I had to let things remain the way they were.

Caleb had the cameras installed throughout the mansion, and I thanked him for it. By the fifth day, I couldn’t take the longing anymore. It was easier when Luke travelled and we were in communication. His silence was killing me, yet I knew it was necessary to keep their cover, 

I kept a strong facade for two weeks. I would visit the headquarters to handle the matter and return home to an empty room. It was killing knowing Luke wasn’t going to call me. I was hormonal, too, crying in the shower and wearing his clothes to sleep. I knew we would have to change the narrative, but I didn’t want to. I wanted to maintain that he was sick and would come home. By the third week, Caleb and I made a press release that he had been kidnapped. I became apprehensive. After meeting with the press, I returned to the left-wing, and Caleb followed me. We were afraid. Luke meant the world to both of us, and he wasn’t home yet. Standing in the hallway, the smell of our fear filled the air.

“What should we do, Caleb?” I asked, and he sighed. I knew he was afraid too. I could feel it.

“Do you think he is alright?” I asked Caleb, and he motioned me to enter my bedroom. I walked in and sat on the couch.

Caleb stood and sighed.

“They should be back by now. He wasn’t supposed to stay this long,” he said, and I folded myself on the chair and began to sob.

“What if that bastard got them?” I said, voicing out my fears.” Tasha has been calling, and I do not know what to tell her. Everyone is asking about him, Caleb, and I do not know what to say. They are demanding answers.”I cried, and he sat beside me to hold me.

“We have to be strong, Tia,” he said, and I moved away from him. Drying my tears, I stood up.

“It is time to visit the hospital,” I said, and he nodded.

“Meet me at the entrance,” Caleb said and left the room. I went to shower and put on joggers. I had the urge to hop on a plane and go to Santa Braee, but I knew Luke would not want any of that.

I left the room and headed towards the entrance when Bart approached me.

“Luna, may I have a word with you, please?” He said, and I nodded. There was an urgency to his voice that made me figure it was something bad. I started praying that it wasn’t bad news from Luke.
