Chapter 10 I WANT TO BE FREE
LUNA’S POV
The driver pulled over the car and I got down. Gray had told his driver to drive me back home after an hour of staying in his office with him, doing nothing. And i can believe all through my stay there, Gray didn’t took off his mask.
I mean, how is he so comfortable in it? Isn’t he suffocating being masked all day?
He didn’t even talk to me. He just made me look do invisible and I feel angry but couldn’t do anything. I’m glad he asked me to go home cause I see no use of me being there.
I shut the door of my room behind me and fall on the bed, tired. I feel so hungry already. I removed my shoes and just then I heard a knock on the door.
Mia walked in with a tray of food , smiling , she walked towards me.
“You’re back” She said and I nodded. She dropped the tray of the side table and helped me dish out the food.
“You should try to eat as much you can. Things won’t be the same from today” She said staring around.
I nodded, and then widened my eyes when I recall what she said.
“Huh? Things won’t be the same? What do you mean Mia?” I asked and sat up from the bed.
“You’ll be leaving with Master, to his house. And that’s where you’re going to stay till he decides to let you go, if it ever happen” She said and smiled at me.
“What… wait! Isn’t this his house? I asked staring around.
“It is, but he don’t live here. Only us live here, and he only came by when he want to handle business at the North” She said.
She was done dishing out the food now and she was sitting on the bed beside me. The food suddenly looks like a poo to me.
“So you mean, I’m going to leave here today . With him? And then go to his main house, mm? ”
Mia nodded. “That’s why I said you should try to eat as much, so you’ll have enough energy to hold on whatever you might face tonight”
My heart nearly reaches my mouth as fear gripped me.
“Mia?” I called.
“Mmmm?” She turned to me.
“What is he like? I mean , Gray? What do you know about him, why he’s masked and others” I asked .
Mia smiled. “Gray have brought in so many ladies here and none got to see his face, Some have tried to even set him up go see his face but that’s never possible. They all even believe this is his only house. Don’t worry Luna, You’re lucky, you’re the first girl , Gray has ever decided to go to his main building with.. You’ll get to see his face there”
“Wow! So you mean, he only takes off his mask in his main house?” I asked and she nodded.
“Yes Luna. I’ll advice you to play royal and do as he tells you. You won’t like to face this wrath of that Man”
“Okay stop. Mia, I’m scared! Why does he have to chose me? And isn’t it weird that he chooses me .. I mean..” I suddenly ran out of words and wept.
Mia hugged me and consoled me. “Luna, you should be happy. He hasn’t even touch you, that’s unlike him” She kisses my hair was I cried on her shoulder.
“Don’t be a baby, Just eat up. He will back soon” She said and stood up.
“If you need anything, I’ll be at your door” She smiled and I watched her walked out of the room .
So I’m going to leave here to live all alone with him? And I’m going to see his face?! Like Mia said, does it mean I’m lucky? He have never went to his mean house with a lady? Then why does it have to be me, why does it have to be Luna!.
I stared at the food, I wasn’t hungry anymore. But I’m going to just eat it, like Mia have advised… I need to be strong, I just have to be loyal and submissive. But what if he wants something I can’t offer? Something am not ready go give?
I need to escape, I need to leave here! Their must be a way, a way to get out of here. I’m not ready and I don’t want to be under anybody. I want my life back! Even if it’s still without my mum, at least. . I want to live with my Dad!
I started eating the rice Mia has served me, but I wasn’t eating it because I’m hungry! I was forcing myself to eat it!

Mia and one other maid led me downstairs where Gray was waiting , I was dressed in a black short gown with an opening on the back, the dress was so tight that I feel so uncomfortable but I couldn’t take it off, he had bought it and demanded I put it on.
They led me to the car and I entered, Gray was in there and I greeted him. Surprisedly he responded, He was smoking.
The car started and we drive off. We ain’t going to his house yet, he said, I’ll have to occupy him to a restaurant first. I was a little happy, maybe I can escape from here. I’m going to run way at any given opportunity.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
I turned to face the window, trying hard not to look at him, else he’d say and think I’m drooling for him.
The car came a stop in a restaurant, it was an outside restaurant and they’re not much people there, just two men. The guards came up and opened the door. It was starting to get late at night anyways and I wonder if we will get to his house tonight or will sleep over.
Gray started walking into the restaurant and I followed him. He went over to were the men were sitting and sat opposite them. I draw out a chair and sat next to him.
“Hey” I greeted. Only way responded while the other eyed me. I ignored him and start staring around the place. Gray didn’t other for anything, so were the men. I guess he was here for business anyway.
“Good Evening, Boss” The both of them greeted.
Their words started to fade away in my ears. I couldn’t understand their language, they were speaking Italian language and so was Gray. I couldn’t understand them so I just stared into space.
I suddenly think is the best way to escape . I can get away from here and I can be free from here! I’ll be away from him and I can live the best of my life. I stared at the three of them, they were completely into the discussion.
“I want to excuse myself for some minutes” I said and stood up.
They all looked up on me expect Gray, he wasn’t even sparing a gaze. The two then looked at Gray. Well… I walked out if the place and he didn’t stop me.
I breathed down and slowly took off my footwear. His guards were outside the car, discussing. I took the left side of the road and starts walking down, increasing my pace as I kept walking down the street. The street was dark already and thanks to the street lights. I looked back and was happy that they haven’t noticed my absence.
I made to turn the right side of the next road but I noticed they were two men standing there. I immediately took the left side and this time, I was almost running. I tripped over and fall down, getting a cut on my foot but I didn’t seem to care much about the pain, I just want to get out of here. I just want to run far way from Gray, I just want to be with my Dad!.
A car suddenly flash it’s light on me, blinding me for some seconds. I regained my sight and I knew immediately that , that was Gray’s car. I turned immediately to run away but bumped into someone. I looked up slowly, scared… And I meet a man.
“Are you lost, Baby girl?” He smirked.
I recognized the voice immediately, he’s Gray Carter! Wooo…! He hasn’t masked!
For some minutes, I got lost staring at him, Who hides such handsome face under a mask? His eyes were just as blue as the ocean, his face was one of the most handsome one I’ve ever seen!
He looks like a demi God! His smirk sent cold shivers down my lungs, My eyes moved to his lips… It was so red and attractive that I started imagining what it’ll be like having those lips on mine!
Oh Damn! I’m going to stare at this all day long without getting tired. Now I know why he’s always masked, he don’t want girls running over him! He wants to hide his beauty under a mask.
“Are you lost, baby girl?” He asked again, still smirking.
And that was when I realized I’m doomed! Is he going to kill me? For trying to escape! What have I done? Mia warned me and told me to be obedient, he’s going to kill me!!!
But why ain’t a afraid? I suddenly feel like I should yell at him and tell him that I don’t like being under him. I want to be free!! Is that too hard? Tears storm down my cheeks.
