Luna Smith was a famous tarot reader. When Dean Stark and I were going to register our marriage, she flashed three cards, saying that marrying this day would ruin his destiny and fortunes. Dean promptly called it off, and told me to wait a couple of days… which ended up being five years. When I got pregnant, she said that the child would be a jinx to its father, and I was hence forced to get an abortion… on four different occasions. When my mother was diagnosed with liver cancer, I begged Dean for $200,000 on my knees. Even before Dean said a word, Luna frowned and said, "Your mother and her family are jinxed. If the money changes hands, Dean's career will be over." Dean sighed as he pushed me away. "Death is inevitable. Just accept it." I finally went hysterical, but Luna slapped me across the face. "You're being hounded by jinxes. That's why things aren't going well for Dean lately!" Then, blushing as she turned to Dean, she said, "Just sleep with me once, and let your male vigor erupt to blow away the jinxes. That's the only way." Everyone else promptly told me to be understanding and think of the big picture, while Dean himself said, "I swear—this will happen only once, and I will close my eyes the whole time. "We will marry once it's over. You've waited a long time for this, right?" Hence, he scooped Luna up in his arms and strode into our bedroom. As everyone else laughed and cheered, I quietly left and took out my phone, texting the famous demon king ruling the city, "We should register our marriage today, as it says in the cards. Are you coming?"

Chapter 1

With the forms filled and signed, our photos taken, Yorick and I stepped out of the civil bureau.

My phone then rang.

It was Dean, chuckling and grunting in satisfaction. "Are you jealous? Running off without a word."

I turned towards Yorick, busy watching him as he arranged my mother's surgery.

"Don't be so petty," Dean was still gloating on the other end. "Luna offered her chastity to improve my fortune. Once I'm rich, the money's all yours anyway—in the end, we are all doing this for you."

For me.

My heart stung, even as Dean's buddies laughed rowdily on the other end.

"Hey, Sue! Dean's such a gentleman that he kept his hands tied the whole time!"

"He left as soon as he was done, leaving Luna alone in bed while he called to comfort you. He's really the perfect husband!"

"Come on, tell her! Did you ever touch Luna inappropriately?"

Dean snorted. "Of course not—why would I? She's a bro."

Suddenly, her phone was snatched away, and Luna purred, "Hey, Sue. Can I borrow your pajamas? Dean was so savage that he shredded all my clothes."

My fingers clenched on my phone as I replied without hesitation, "No."

However, she simply giggled. "Are you jealous? You know that I'm a tarot reader—what you call intimacy is just a ritual to me. Don't worry, I'm not interested in a brute like Dean…"

Smack!

She yelped and huffed as Dean slapped her audibly on the rump, laughing, "You call that violent? Just you wait—I'll show you real violence!"

Then, taking back his phone, he said mildly, "Alright, you can come home now and clean up the bedroom. Then ask Luna to divine your fortune—if everything is right, we can register our marriage tomorrow."
