Chapter 26 Was he lying?
LUNA’S POV
With those words coming out from his lips , it sent cold shivers down my spine
” Collins what are you talking about , what are you thinking tell me ? ” I asked with wild curiosity burning deep inside me
” Is Gray in danger ? ”
” No, it’s nothing like that Luna , once I figure out everything, I’ll tell you , but for now I don’t think anything serious is going on okay , stay calm ”
I nodded , my tears had almost fallen off even when I was glad it was nothing serious
” That guy , the one that betrayed Gray, I think you should find him , maybe he’ll tell you everything going on ”
” Who’s that ? ” Collins asked
” Oh , one of his men lured me to the enemy, I think he joined forces with them ”
He gave me quiet a surprising look , but my mind was filled with thoughts of Gray, I so badly just wanted to see him, even if it’s just for a minute
” Luna , I’ll be right back , you should get some rest okay ” Collins uttered drawing me away from my thoughts
I sighed and carefully laid back on the bed , with assistance from the lady next to me , and when he finally left , I stood up immediately.
” Take me to Gray , please I’m worried ” . The maid gave me a shocking look before replying
” But ma’am, I don’t think you should be walking around right now , get some rest please”
I turned to look around, and when I found my slippers, I slowly walked towards them
” If you aren’t gonna take me , I’ll find him myself” . I said , even though I knew nothing about this house . It was just so unimaginably big and am really sure the rooms here would be so many . Where on Earth will I start looking for Gray . Nevertheless, I got to find him .
” Wait ma’am, I’ll take you ” I heard her voice as I was about opening the door , I turned around and smiled a little before replying ” thank you for understanding” . She nodded and came towards me
” I’ll lead the way , follow me “.
Just looking at Gray lay unconscious on the bed hurt me so much , I stood frozen , my legs refusing to take another step towards him for a while
” Gray !! , It’s all. my fault ” I don’t think I’ve done anything to be wanted by anybody right now , so why would some bad guys come after me .
I finally found a little bit of courage and slowly dragged my legs towards him , sitting beside him on his bed
” Gray I’m so sorry this happened to you ” . I held his hands tight letting my tears escape willingly
” No one else could have been behind this except my stepmom, for goddess sake , what the hell does she want from me again , ! What have I done to her . Isn’t she satisfied she sold me for money , and now , she wants to kill me slowly? ” I asked myself fuming with anger as my grip on Gray’s hand tightened
” I’ll make her pay , I swear to God I’ll make her pay for this ! “. I was still lost in my own thoughts and schemes for revenge when I heard his voice
” That’s hurts Luna ! ” Gray said , slowly opening his eyes . I gave him a surprising yet super excited look carving a big smile with my lips
” You’re awake ! ” I said and hugged him so tight forgetting his bruises
” That hurts too Luna ” He replied again , and just then , I realised I should be careful.
He took my hands in his , and smiled at me . ” I’m glad you’re okay Luna , are you hurt ? “.
” How can you ask me such questions in this condition huh ? You’re making me feel bad “.
Gray chuckled a little bit hearing me say such words , and then he tried lifting himself up .
” Ohhhh easy , easy , I’ll help you up ” .
He leaned even closer to me holding my hands ” I was really scared I’d loose you Luna ” His soft voice said . A voice which he only used while speaking to me . And then , he hugged me tight while trying hard not to show his emotions way too much.
” Gray , hmmmmm , don’t you think it’s best to start the training earlier ? I mean if only I was way stronger and could handle a gun properly, you wouldn’t have been in this state , I would have been of Great help to you “.
Gray looked at me and again he chuckled, probably not wanting to laugh
” First Luna , don’t ever blame yourself for this , it isn’t your fault , and also maybe it’s best I teach you some important things about becoming stronger, I guess you’d need it later ” . Hearing such words from him made me so happy .
” What do you think , huh ? You think I’ll make a perfect Mafia queen huh ? Maybe it’s gonna be , THE MAFIA BOSS AND HIS QUEEN . , How’s that ? ” I said laughing and he joined me too .
” Stop joking around Luna , but I think you’ll look better being a badass ”
Gray said and slowly leaned closer to peck my nose . I chuckled ” thank you for staying strong Gray….. I love you ”
Though he didn’t say it back , but I never cared less, deep down I knew he loves me Maybe more he loves anybody right now .
” I’ll go get some rest okay , and take a quick bath , be back soon okay ! ” I was about leaving when Gray held me back
” Do everything here , I want you by my side ” he said giving me a really adorable eyes , one that I wouldn’t be able to resist .
” Already , I’m right here okay! I won’t go anywhere”

” That isn’t right Luna, if you do it like that , you’ll miss . Here I’ll hold your hands ” Gray said to me , he stood up and walked towards me , and with the gun in my hand, he made sure to keep my hands in a proper position
” Alright, that’s a bit better , now fire !” He said and immediately I heard it , I released a bullet closing my eyes while doing so
I heard Gray chuckle ,” Are you still scared of using a gun ? “He asked touching my shoulders slightly.
I slowly opened my eyes and looked at him ” not really Gray, just that the sound seems to be a bit loud and maybe it scares me a little , but don’t worry I think I’ll soon get the hang of it ”This material belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
He took his hands off my shoulders, and brought it to. my waist drawing me closer to him
” Baby, if you can’t take it , let’s. stop okay , you don’t need to learn how to use a gun , just learning how to fight would be enough , don’t you think? ”
Though learning how to use a gun scares me so much , but i don’t think I have a choice . I don’t think I can fight against my enemies just by learning how fight without Using a gun,
” Gray , I’ll be fine , I promise ” He looked at me and nodded
” Shall we continue? ” I said , and grabbed the gun tight again . Adjusting my headband properly and maintaining my balance , I wore my glasses again and fired one more shot which had almost hit the middle point of the big board a little far from me .
” Wow , you almost got it right , come here ” Gray said opening his arms wide as I rushed towards him and gave him a tight hug , he rubbed my hair gently before kissing it .
” You’re doing great baby !! ”
His phone started ringing , Gray took it out and immediately he saw the caller ID, he looked at me before swallowing hard
” Baby , keep practicing, I’ll be right back ”
” Seriously, ? Again ! “I said to myself trying not to show the disappointment on my face
” Gray , why not pick up the call here in my presence, for some days now, since that incident you’ve been taking strange calls, calls you don’t want me to know about , Gray is there something going on that I should know ” I asked , with all the calmness I could gather .
He turned back to look at me , but his phone had stopped ringing already.
” There’s nothing to be suspicious about Luna , everything’s fine , it’s just business call from the company… I really don’t wanna interrupt your training okay , I promise baby it’s nothing to be worried about okay ”
I heaved loudly , even though I knew he was lying to me , I just decided to play along with him.
Well I trust Gray, and there’s probably nothing he’s hiding from me .
” Alright no problem baby , I’ll be right here waiting for you okay , don’t stay long huh ? ”
He nodded and walked out , his hands on his phone dialing back the number that had just recently called
As I watched him leave , I became more curious, and so badly wanted to follow behind him just to be sure if he wasn’t lying to me .
