Luna's POV
We finally stopped before a mall. We did some grocery shopping and was about leaving when my eyes caught a nice dress which was sampled in a show glass.
It was a pink gown. I tried my best to ignore it but it's beauty kept on attracting me so I walked up to it. I giggled as I imagined how pretty I would look in it.
"Don't even think about it. I don't think we can afford this" Mark said, cutting short my joy. I sneered as I sadly looked at my pretty dress.
Just then, A lady walked over to us. "Welcome ma. Would you like to check out the dress or should we just wrap it up?"
"Huh? No thank you. I don't have much money with me right now"
"You don't have to worry about that. Someone already paid for it" The lady dropped the bombshell.
I raised my eyebrows in disbelief. "What? Who?"
"I did" Daniel appeared from nowhere, sauntering over to where I stood.
Daniel?
"What are you doing here?" Mark fired before I could say anything.
"I came to get some stuffs but noticed how Luna was admiring this gown so I decided to get it for her." Daniel bragged and winked at me. "And you? What are you doing here?"
"Is it not obvious? I also came to get some stuffs"
"Oh Really? But I thought one can only come to such an expensive mall if he has money? " Daniel replied with a sardonic smile.
"What do you mean by that?" Mark bit out.
"It's simple. You are nothing but a poor, useless boyfriend and you don't deserve someone like Luna"
" But I thought the illegitimate child is supposed to be the poor one here because he is reaping from where he never sowed"
" Who are you calling illegitimate? " Daniel bellowed moving towards Mark with clenched fist.
"Stop it guys" I half yelled and stepped in between them.
I turned to Daniel "Can you leave us please? I don't want trouble"
"Huh? That isn't fair you know? I am not the one causing trouble here. He should be the one leaving us and not me" Daniel complained.
I let out a deep sigh.
" What do you want?"
"You" He snapped and I frowned. " I mean, I am here because of you. I saw how you badly wanted this dress, so I decided to get it for you. And you can also get whatever you want here, bills on me"
I swallowed hard as I tried to resist the temptation of jumping on him and letting him know how it feels good to hear him say that.
" We don't need your help" Mark fired.
" I am not talking to you dude. Neither do I remember asking of your opinions." Daniel, growled.
This men are driving me nuts!. If only I still have my guards, they would have done me the favor of getting rid of these two. " Stop it guys" I yelled and they stopped talking.
"And you, what made you think I would take something from someone who once called me a beggar? " I snapped at Daniel.
" About that? I am sorry. I only said that because I was shocked to suddenly see a stranger on the dining table" He twitched his lip.
Pheew! Well, why should I say No if he wants to get me all this beautiful dresses?. I can save the remaining money to get some food stuffs later.
And Mark, I don't really care about his opinion? . Moreover, this would assist in my mission to make him start working again.
"Are you sure you want to pay for my shopping?" I asked.
" Of course" Daniel smiled.
"Fine! I will take all these dresses" I smirked pointing at the bunch of clothes which were neatly arranged on the glass shelves. "And also these shoes and bags"
"Huh?" Daniel and Mark exclaimed.
" Why? You can't afford them? " I furrowed my brows.
"Of course I can" He forced a smile.
"I thought as much" I grinned.. "One more thing, there are some diamond jewelries on the next shelve. Pay for them..."
Before I could complete my sentence, Mark suddenly sauntered over to where I stood and grabbed me by my arm. " Come with me" He said, dragging me out by my right arm.
"A minute Daniel" I chuckled. "What are you doing Mark? Let me go." I bawled as he dragged me along.
He let go of my hand as soon as we got few metres away from where Daniel stood.
"What was that for?" I fired, rubbing my arm.
"Have you lost your mind? What do you think you are doing?" He scolded through gritted teeth.
"Is it not obvious? I am trying to get some clothes, shoes, bags, jewelries.."
He cuts me off. "Just stop your nonsense. I won't let you take anything from that bastard"
" Really? Then, would you get those stuffs for me?" I snapped, standing akimbo.
He hesitated. "I would have gladly done that but I don't have any money on me."
Are you kidding me? You don't have any money but you are acting so possessive. Dumbass!
"Exactly my point. You don't have money and you should not try to stop me from taking things from others who can afford what you can't" I replied, a bit curtly.
He shot me a hard glare.
" Who the hell do you think you are to speak to me in such manner?" He thundered and I flinched back.
I am a princess and I won't let an ordinary human scare me. "Hey! Don't raise your voice at me" I growled.
Just then, my magic necklace suddenly beeped a sound. Good gracious! Why does Mirabel have to do this now?
"Did I just hear a sound coming from your cloth?" Mark asked with furrowed brows.
"Huh? I think you are mistaken" I forced a smile. "Please I would like to use the restroom"
"It's over there" He gave me a suspicious stare, pointing towards a door.
I briskly walked towards the door.
"Ladies only" was boldly written on the door. I pushed it open and stepped in.
It was a hallway with many doors. I pushed open one of the doors and walked in. My necklace beeped again accompanied with a brief flash of light.
What could be so urgent? I hope all is fine.
I brought out my necklace which was hidden inside my gown. I held unto the necklace and closed my eyes.
"Greetings head princess" Mirabel's voice echoed.
"Greetings Mirabel.. Hope all is well?"
"No..mum has managed to track your whereabouts and she is about getting through to you using the spiritual fantasy mirror."
I gasped. " What?"
The fantasy spiritual mirror is a mirror that can be used to invoke someone's spirit and it's sometimes used to force out the truth from criminals.But since I am not in the kingdom, I don't think the mirror would be able to trap my spirit.
But there is a possibility that it would give mum the access to any mirror or glass around me.She would appear in any mirror or glass close to me and that can't happen here. My identity cannot be revealed now.. I have not even begin my mission of activating the lotus flower.
"Thanks for this mira, I will get back to you later" I said and hung the call.
I hurriedly rushed out but bumped into a lady who seems to be waiting to use the restroom too.
