Abandoned Luna Now Untouchable (Cecilia) novel Chapter 153

**Chapter 153: The Secret of the Locke Family**

Cecilia

Oh. My. God!!!

It simply couldn’t be happening…

In that fleeting moment, an overwhelming sensation washed over me, as if I were strapped to a rocket hurtling toward the stratosphere.

Every muscle in my body seized in disbelief—my pupils dilated, my breath hitched—while Alpha Sebastian’s gaze began to drift downward toward my phone screen.

“Don’t look!”

With a surge of panic, I lunged forward, throwing myself over his hands to reclaim my phone with a frantic urgency that I couldn’t control.

The little kitten, startled by my abrupt movement, launched itself onto the sofa, letting out a frightened mewl that echoed my own alarm.

Alpha Sebastian’s eyes widened, his surprise evident as he stared at me.

Stepping back, I clutched my phone tightly against my chest, my heart racing. “It’s just… I was talking about something very private with a friend. It’s not meant for anyone else to see.”

His expression turned icy, a coldness settling over him. “Private matters? What is it—did your friend catch you in the act of murder and is now blackmailing you for money?”

I fell silent, my mind racing but unable to articulate a single coherent thought.

To make matters worse, the notification sounds from my phone buzzed incessantly, each one sending a fresh wave of dread through me.

With each ping, Alpha Sebastian’s face grew more and more frigid, his brows knitting together in disapproval.

“I’ll go get some food for the kitten,” I mumbled, practically fleeing from his office, desperate to escape the tension.

Once back in my own office, I opened my phone, and my heart nearly stopped at what I saw.

The images displayed on my screen were scandalous, shockingly explicit, making my cheeks burn with embarrassment and disbelief.

The very thought of Alpha Sebastian laying eyes on those photos filled me with a mortification that felt apocalyptic in nature.

This was a thousand times worse than the infamous strawberry-flavored incident.

I scrambled to delete every single photo, my fingers trembling as I worked to erase the evidence of my humiliation.

After a moment to collect myself, I called the secretarial department, urgently requesting kitten milk, kitten food (I made sure to emphasize the “kitten” part), a cozy cat bed, and a litter box—all the essentials. Alpha Sebastian was meticulous about cleanliness; there was no way he would tolerate a kitten having accidents on his pristine carpet.

Sure enough, it wasn’t long before the little furball was relocated to Beta Sawyer’s care, unable to last even an hour in Alpha Sebastian’s office.

After completing my afternoon tasks, I joined Beta Sawyer to help take care of the tiny creature.

“Mr. Cassian certainly has a flair for the dramatic,” he remarked with a smirk. “When he arrived carrying that little basket, I assumed it was filled with fruit or perhaps some fancy tea. I never expected him to bring a live kitten.”

I leaned back against the armrest, trying to sound casual, though my heart was racing. “Does he always bring gifts when he visits Alpha Sebastian?”

“Every single time,” Beta Sawyer replied, a knowing glint in his eyes. “That’s why half the office is convinced there’s something going on between them.”

I raised an eyebrow, intrigued. “And is there?”

The question slipped out more curious than I had intended, my mind racing with possibilities.

The very idea of me swooping in and somehow “turning” Alpha Sebastian was laughable. Sure, anything was possible—but from what I had observed, the man ticked every box under ‘straight as hell.’ Confident. Brooding. Completely uninterested in flirting with anyone, regardless of gender.

As for Cassian, he was openly flamboyant about his attraction to men, flirting without a hint of hesitation. Yet, when I examined their interactions closely, I noticed he never made any truly intimate gestures toward Sebastian.

Beta Sawyer chuckled, shaking his head. “Of course not. How could our Alpha be interested in men?”

“As for Mr. Locke, he’s just like that—never serious, always joking around. In fact, he had a girlfriend a long time ago.”

I raised my eyebrows, beginning to piece together the puzzle. “So he’s just playing a role?”

Beta Sawyer sighed, a hint of exasperation in his tone. “The Locke family situation is incredibly complicated. Nothing Mr. Cassian does would surprise me anymore.”

Seeing that Beta Sawyer seemed to have a wealth of knowledge, I pressed on. “Do you know about Mr. Zane Locke? I heard his current wife isn’t his first, and there’s quite a story there.”

The mention of this topic immediately ignited Beta Sawyer’s gossip spirit. He handed the kitten back to me, closed the door, and returned with excitement sparkling in his eyes. “That’s not just a story—it’s a horrific incident. A bloody tale of high society.”

I gently stroked the kitten’s head, my curiosity piqued. “Tell me everything.”

As the office emptied out around me, my phone buzzed with a text from Yvonne:

“Don’t bail on me tonight. Operation Distraction is still on!”

Yvonne knew me too well. After seeing those photos, I was having second thoughts—but I couldn’t back out now. It had been my idea in the first place.

Lingering in my office, I half-hoped Alpha Sebastian might call me in for something, anything. But he didn’t.

After confirming with Beta Sawyer that the kitten had settled in and no one would need me tonight, I headed home to change.

I paused in front of my closet, my fingers hovering over a lavender dress—pretty but not too flashy.

Before leaving, my eyes landed on my phone. Location sharing was still on.

I hesitated.

If Sebastian checked, he’d see exactly where I was. If I turned it off, he’d notice that too.

Five seconds of internal debate later, I muttered, “Why do I even care?” and flipped it off.

Upstairs, Alpha Sebastian glanced at his phone. One second, my location was visible.

The next—gone. His jaw tightened in response.

What the hell was she up to?

—

Cecilia stepped out into the evening air, already feeling lighter. Life was too short not to wear the pretty dress and enjoy dinner with her best friend.

Arriving at the restaurant early, she ordered a drink and allowed herself to breathe, feeling the weight of the day lift from her shoulders.

She thought turning off her location would keep Sebastian in the dark.

But she had forgotten about Harper—her best friend, who had recently become inseparable from Tang, Alpha Sebastian’s security guy.

And those two? They talked. A lot.
