Autumn’s gaze was ice-cold as she stared at the woman blocking her path. Luma – no, Luna – stood there with that practiced innocence plastered across her face, as if she hadn’t just tried to worm her way into another man’s life.
“Don’t call me ‘sis,’” Autumn snapped, her voice sharp enough to cut glass. “My mother could never give birth to someone like you – a mistress who throws herself at someone else’s husband.”
The words hung in the air like poisoned darts. Autumn had grown up watching her mother suffer because of women like Luna. She had sworn she would never fall victim to the same betrayal. And yet, here she was, staring at the daughter of the very woman who had destroyed her family – now wearing the same mask of victimhood while stealing her husband.
The irony was bitter enough to make her sick.
Both mother and daughter – willing mistresses, skilled pretenders, always playing the innocent while quietly trying to erase the wife from the picture. Autumn was done with it. Completely and utterly done.
But Luna didn’t even flinch. Her expression remained serene, her voice syrupy sweet. “Sis, I know you’re still upset with us, but you can’t insult people like this.”
Autumn let out a cold, humorless laugh. “Luna, drop the act. You threw yourself into being a mistress, and now you pretend you’re the one who’s been wronged? Last I checked, mistresses aren’t protected by law. If I really wanted to go after you, do you think you’d get away with it?”
The words were a threat, and both women knew it.
Autumn had considered exposing them when she first discovered Julian’s affair with Luna. She had the evidence. She could have burned their reputations to ashes. But back then, she had been foolish – worried about damaging Julian’s standing, hoping her kindness would win him back. She had treated him better and better, desperate to salvage a marriage that was already rotting from the inside.
How naïve she had been.
Now, she wanted nothing more than for those two to be shackled to each other, while she focused on rebuilding her own life and career. Let them have each other. She had better things to do than cry over a cheating husband and his mistress.
Luna’s mask slipped for just a moment, but she quickly recovered, playing the same old tune. “Sis, I really don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Autumn shoved her aside without another word and walked straight toward the private room. “Move. You’re in my way.”
Luna stood frozen, watching Autumn disappear through the door. What was she doing here? Going into Edwin’s private room? Was she working as waitstaff now? The thought made Luna’s lip curl in disgust. She pulled out a wet wipe and meticulously cleaned the hand Autumn had touched, as if she had been contaminated.
She had come here today with a single mission: to ask Edwin to take her as his student. But after several questions she had struggled to answer, Edwin had simply shaken his head and told her she needed improvement. He gave her a few polite suggestions, then rejected her request outright.
She had come fully prepared – every angle covered, every argument rehearsed. But in front of Edwin, she had fallen short. For the first time in her life, she wasn’t good enough.
Luna had always been the prodigy. The PhD earned young. The scholarships collected by the handful. The pride of the Lewis family. But standing before Edwin and his brilliant students, she felt like an amateur playing at a professional’s game.
Simon had told her about Edwin’s true status – a national-level research figure whose students all landed top-tier government research positions. Very few people knew who Edwin really was, which gave Luna a rare opportunity to approach him. She had hoped to slip through the cracks and claim a spot among his disciples.
But he had seen right through her.
She wasn’t about to give up, though. Once she got home, she would work tirelessly to fix every weakness Edwin had pointed out. She would prove him wrong. She would make him take her.
Meanwhile, back inside the private room, Autumn had returned. Ethan quietly filled her in on what had just happened – Luna’s failed attempt to become Edwin’s student. A smirk tugged at the corner of Autumn’s lips.
So that was it. Luna wanted to join Edwin’s elite circle? Did she really think the world revolved around her?
The conversation flowed, and the evening continued. Then, the door opened again, and the mysterious senior they had all been waiting for finally arrived.
The moment Autumn saw that sharp, cold face, her heart stopped.
It was Keith.
Of all the people in the world. Of all the places she could have run into him.
What a small, cruel world.
Edwin stood and smiled, proudly introducing the newcomer. “This is the genius senior you’ve all heard about – Keith Sinclair.”
Everyone at the table was younger than Keith. They rose to their feet, polite and respectful. “Hello, Senior Sinclair. We’ve heard so much about you.”
Keith gave a slight nod, acknowledging them. His gaze swept across the room, calm but direct – and then it landed on Autumn, still frozen in her seat.
Their eyes met.
And the air between them grew heavy with unspoken words.

**Reader's Impressions & Star Rating:**
Oh my goodness, what a chapter! The confrontation between Autumn and Luna was absolutely electric – I could feel the tension leaping off the page. Autumn's transformation from a hurt wife to a woman who refuses to be a victim is so satisfying to watch. And that ending! Keith walking through that door? My jaw literally dropped. The universe keeps throwing these two together, and I can't decide if it's fate or torture. The way the story weaves past pain with present possibility is masterful. This chapter kept me on the edge of my seat from start to finish.
⭐ Rating: 4.9 / 5 Stars
**Next Chapter Prediction:**
I have a feeling things are about to get explosive. Keith and Autumn in the same room – with Edwin as a witness? Luna is still lurking outside, and she has no idea about the connection between Autumn and Keith. My prediction: Keith will reveal he knows Autumn, and that he knows exactly what kind of woman Luna really is. But the bigger question is – will he help Autumn take down Julian and Luna, or does he have his own agenda? Either way, sparks are going to fly, and secrets are about to spill.
