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 ”
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 .
