Mistaking a Magnate for a Male Escort novel Chapter 74

“Precisely! Hector, you can’t treat Luna like this. Back then, you were the one who…”

“Alright, that’s enough,” Hector interrupted her. “Let’s consider this matter closed. I don’t care who was in the wrong—I don’t want to investigate it any further.”

“As the both of you have said, Luna is my wife and the mother of my son. I want to lead a peaceful, upright life, and I give you my word that I won’t do anything that might jeopardize the harmony of this family. In the future, I hope you won’t harass Charlotte anymore.”

“Are you doing all this because of that wench?” Luna asked, her voice shaking.

“Luna, for heaven’s sake…” Amanda grabbed hold of her immediately to shut her up. Turning to Hector, she said, “Hector, you misunderstand me. I never wanted to harm Charlotte in any way. I invited her over today for the sole purpose of having dinner with the rest of us. I didn’t think it would turn out like this. Everything’s my fault—I should’ve planned it out better. If I get the chance in the future, I’ll make sure to apologize to her. As for you and Luna, please don’t let this matter get in the way of your relationship…”

“Good. That’s what I wanted to hear.” Hector turned and headed upstairs after speaking.

“Mom, what the hell were you thinking?” Luna hissed angrily. “He only refused to stop investigating the incident because of Charlotte…”

“And what about it?” Amanda retorted in a low voice. “As long as he knows what he has to do and stops hanging around that woman, we will have achieved our goal! Who cares about the reason behind it?”

“What do you mean?” her daughter asked in confusion.

“Are you sure you’re my child? How could you be so stupid?” Amanda asked, shaking her head in disbelief. “You can’t be so idealistic about love. There isn’t a single man on earth who can remain loyal to one woman for his entire life. You can’t control the fact that Hector may have someone else in his heart.

“However, the further you tighten your grip on him, the more annoyed he’s going to be with you. Your relationship will get even more strained. However, if you turn a blind eye to his actions and act the part of a generous wife, he’ll feel sorry for the way he treats you. You need his guilt to solidify your standing within this family.”

“I don’t want his guilt; I want him to love me!”

“If you want him to love you, you should learn how to be more obedient and subservient to him. That’s the only way you can keep your position as Mrs. Sterling. Once the image of Charlotte in his heart is destroyed, he’ll turn around and fall in love with you again…

Owen pushed Charlotte out of the villa. In the distance, the Nacht family’s car was driving slowly towards them.
