Luna looked surprised and shocked. She instantly got on her feet and she moved towards Alex to snatch the phone from him. He moved back and stared at her accusingly. "I asked a question, Luna. I'm being serious here. I know you're still a bit tipsy, but you have to answer me. Read this!" He handed the phone to her and her eyes lingered in his face before accepting the phone. Her heart was suddenly beating fast, because she didn't know what Alex could be talking about. Anything that had to do with Jess was dangerous to her, and- Her eyes widened as she took in the message on the phone. Jess had sent that he needed to see her that night, and she could only refuse if she wanted to die. She gulped down, and slowly raised her head from the phone. Her heart was in her mouth and her lips went dry. She couldn't think of any tangible explanation to give him about that. "Um-" she opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out. Her brain went blank and the only thing s
Without batting his lashes, he turned away from her and increased his pace so Luna wouldn't go after him. She didn't want to go after him, anyway. She realized that she had made a very big mistake. Turning around, she sniffed and allowed the tears to run down her face, without making any attempt to wipe them off. Luna didn't want to go back to the other part of the house, where she had met him for the first time. She could still remember the way his cold eyes pierced hers, and she could do nothing but to stare back, with the same intensity. Oh no. She had messed things up and she knew that she couldn't possibly fix that. When she got back to the room, she staggered towards the bed and buried her face into a pillow as soon as her body but the bed. She was having a really bad day, and all she just wanted to do was to sleep...without waking up again. However, it seemed the universe was against her. As soon as she finally started sleeping deeply, her phone beep
Luna was tired, she really was. But, she couldn't stop. She had to find the plaque to leave the house. That was the only way she could leave the house to see Jess, before he killed her. At some point, she felt a tear drop from her right eye, so she stopped searching and rested against a wall, slowly losing the strength to search for anything again. Her legs were on the verge of collapsing under her and she was about to go back to the bed to sit, when her eyes suddenly caught something. The plaque! She bent her back and reached out for it, smiling the moment her hands touched it. The fact that it was that hidden showed that Miles hadn't used it in a while, so he might not even realize that it was gone. With a bright smile spreading across her lips, she took the plaque close to her lips and planted a soft kiss on it, flinching at the dust on her lips. "Now, I have to leave!" She took the phone and dipped it into her pocket, before dashing out of the room. Luna's
"Who is it?" Luna held on to her phone tightly, and inched forward, one leg in front of the other. Her heart skipped beats, as she moved even closer than she planned to. "Who.." She stopped talking when she saw two rats run out of the building. Her brows furrowed, as she watched them go. She released her grip on the phone and checked if she had any message from Jess. Of course, she did. He asked her if she was alone. She replied with a yes, her eyes darting around to confirm. After that, she sent another yes. All she got after she sent that was a simple okay, written as "ok." She frowned at that, because she didn't know what to do after it. She couldn't go back home, and there was no way she would go into the building in the hope of seeing him there. A sigh escaped from Luna's lips, as she glanced at the phone again, expecting a message from him. For the first time, she really did long for a message from him. Her hand flew to her head and she scratched it out o
Luna started muffling against Jess's palm, trying to get him off her. But, it didn't work. "You really think you can leave now? No, baby. You're here now and you're not leaving! It's time, time for revenge. Time for me!" She grimaced at the way his voice sounded against her ear. She tried kicking him in the guts, but he stopped her before she could. Jess continued dragging her and then, everywhere was silent. His grip on her loosened and she fell to the ground, with her face kissing the soil. Luna instantly scrambled off the floor, while still cleaning her face. When she got up and turned, she saw Jess's neck, squeezed in between Alex's strong hands. He was staring at Jess, while squeezing his neck as hard as he could. Luna knew that if he continued that way, he was just going to kill Jess. She didn't want that, she didn't want to drag him along with her issues. So, she dashed to him and started pleading with him to let go of Jess. "...h.." Jess grunted, holdin
CHAPTER TWENTY FOUR "okay!" Luna peeled her eyes from Alexander and tried focusing her eyes on the dark road before them, but she couldn't. The only thing she could think about apart from the fact that she just told Alex.....everything, was how he hit Jess like that because of her. "Why...why did you hurt him that much? I mean, you didn't have the-" Alex slowly turned his head to face her. He didn't say anything, but noticed that she stopped speaking. "He was about to hurt you. If I had gotten here later, then he probably would have. I had to drive really fast to get to you. You should appreciate that!" He gripped the key and twisted it. As the car roared under them, he didn't steal another glance at the almost dead Jess, before speeding down the dusty, dark road. Luna exhaled and rested her head on the seat. She was really tired of everything, and all she wanted to do was to get home and sleep till whenever. "Did you kill them?" He didn't look at her. She slowly raised her head
CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE Alex released his right hand, and tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear, his eyes darting around her face. "I'm not joking!" "Neither am I, Alexander." Fuck, she did it again. He stared at her face, his eyes constantly settling on her lips. She took out her tongue again, and was about to go against his words, when he gripped her waist and bent his head, capturing her lips almost immediately. A small moan escaped from Luna's lips, as her mouth was buried in his. Her hands slowly flew to his head, as she started dragging his hair. He moaned against her lips, and pushed her hand back on his hair when she was about to stop. He liked it! The kiss was so rough, hungry and... breathtaking. At some point, Luna couldn't keep up with the way his lips moved in sync with hers. It was overwhelming. His hands around her waist, slowly moved downwards, gripping her ass in his hands. Oh, Luna liked that so much. She pulled him closer,
CHAPTER TWENTY SIX Alex looked away from her, and looked back at her, a mischievous smirk dancing on his lips. He breathed in and out before parting his lips to speak. "Luna, you should go inside and sleep right now. I'm not asking you to, I'm telling you!" He was serious, and she knew that. But, even with that, she still wanted to go against his words. "But-" "I'm not asking, Luna. You should go right now." He said, and her face formed into a frown. She rolled her eyes at him, and Alex corked a brow. He wanted to make her pay for that, but he changed his mind. Without saying anything, Luna turned around and she started walking back to the room. When she remembered something, she stopped and slowly turned to face him, questions written all over her face. "Am I still moving to the other part of the house? You-" "No, I think you should stay here for now. Even though that filthy boyfriend of yours can never gain entry into this house, I still feel you should
Many days laterLuna Luna gasped in awe, her heart was filled with so much joy, and with it came the feeling of fulfillment that she had always craved for all her life… the feeling of serenity and peace at last. She hugged herself, the smile tugging at her lips refused to falter as she stared at Alex ’s handsome face. This was unbelievable! Marvelously so! She couldn’t believe how long had passed during this short time and how it has suddenly become months that Alex has been hospitalized… and now, he is fine! Fine at last, and fine enough to come home. As they strutted out of the hospital, walking side by side, all Luna could think about was finally having a normal life. The thought made her shiver with excitement as she couldn’t wait to begin to live the kind of life that she has always dreamed of…the type that had always kept her awake, crying and wishing that a miracle would occur. And now, a miracle did occur. The fact that Gabriel had died had made her feel sad for a brief
A night laterLuna After a few minutes of waiting patiently for her client, her heart once again leapt with joy for the nth time today when she saw Alex walking towards her with a new found bounce in his steps. He was wearing a fancy mask, one that accentuated his face and matched the colour of his dress shirt; and as soon as he saw her, he smiled. A bright smile. One that squeezed the sides of his eyes until tiny wrinkles showed there. “What do we start with?” She asked him quizzically. She wasn’t sure she had a choice here if he mentioned anything she couldn’t do but she still felt compelled to ask due to how good her mood was. “Do you want to discuss?” She noticed how he clicked his tongue at her question and even how his eyes shone in agreement; he liked the idea too, it was obvious that he did but he shook his head in negation; “No,” He said, making Luna halt in her steps as she turned to stare at him incredulously. “I’d want you to dance.” He added slowly. His eyes met hers
Ashley Ashley felt restless and she couldn’t quite place a reason for her restlessness. Deciding not to sit around aimlessly while the boredom ate into her like termites would to wood, she decided to take a walk around the house. With a bottle of liquor in her hands and a dagger in the other, she pranced about the house until she got to the picture gallery. This part of the house was the most serene… and the most beautiful as well. She admired each portrait, running her fingers deftly over each and every one as she went until she stopped at one. It was a painting which was depicting a picture of Zeke . The picture which had been a gift from him and which she had hated with intense passion stared back at her as she stared at it. “Ugly, ugly burnt out carrot!” She chanted, tapping on the surface of the portrait. For a minute, she wished she could rip out his eyes from the portrait and that it would really happen in real life too. She hated him that much. She stared pointedly at th
He grunted at the thought, liking it more and more by the hour. He remembered he had asked her to do something for him and grunted scrubbing a hand over his face. "Well?" "Well what?" Ashley asked feigning ignorance as she walked to his wine cellar in the corner of the office. She picked up a bottle and poured some of it into her mouth, not bothering to grab one of the glasses staring at her. "I didn't see anything if that's what you're asking." She shuddered as she remembered the sight that had greeted her. Not something a sibling should have to see. But then Gabriel wasn't your typical sibling. He was her brother, yes but that was about it. It was only a matter of speaking. There was no emotional benefit attached. He treated her the way he treated his staff at work. The only thing he didn't do was ask her to blow his junk. It wouldn't surprise her if he did. He was a ruthless ** and a huge piece of work. "What did you find out?" He insisted, ignoring her failed attempt at feigning
"We are done." Gabriel met them at the entrance and they greeted him. "Okay, you can leave." He ordered and they did. "Now, don't you feel better?" Gabriel asked as he bit his lips as he stared at her. Luna, who had been tied for hours, was asked such a question. She was pissed. "Oh of course, thank you for feeding me and clothing me and making me feel like myself and even for the warm silky bath, goodness knows how I would be if you hadn't interfered right?" Luna was being sarcastic and rude. "Now now." Gabriel walked closer to her and shook his head. "That's not the right way to talk to me now is it?" Gabriel asked her as he held her chin and looked at her. He gulped when he saw how pretty she was and how her nipples were. He had malicious thoughts. "Let me suggest this. "I will- I will make you exclusive again and I will make your life a little bit easier if you don't mess up again? If you don't mess up again. We all know that I am very generous and this- this is all your fau
It was the next day, Luna thought all she experienced was a dream but it wasn't. It was real and true. She knew she was in for it. She rolled her eyes and fumed. She was in her old room, the room where she slept while she was with Gabriel . The room was dark, the shaky and dim light bulb still dimmed regardless, it was old and it let out smoke at times. There were some of her strippers clothes, they were on the floor. They seemed dirty and old too. The room smelt like it always did. It was more cold. The window hasn't been opened in months. The floor was dirty and messy. It seemed old and odd. The room was how she left it, nothing was removed or taken away. She sighed and rolled her eyes. "No one came here." She said She tried to move and realised she was in chains. The bulb became clearer. She saw herself naked. Her hands were hurting. She couldn't move. If she did; she was going to lose her hands or her legs. Her panic attack started and she knew where this was heading. She had be
She tried to move her shoulders together to cover her nipples. He gave a cold look. "Your hands behind your back, now!" He ordered and she did as told. They were small and pointy. He loved it. He teased it and touched them."You are a slut! You like this don't you? That's why you wore such a short top." He said as he touched her nipples. She moaned. "Agggh" she moaned softly, it was under her breath. It was pleasing but he wanted to punish her "I better not hear a sound." He growled as he touched her still. She moaned again. He laughed hard, he knew it was hard for her. He teased her some more. He wanted her to beg, he was in the mood to inflict pain on her. He needed to transfer his aggression and he was on the right path. Alex.It had been two days, Alex was on the bed, he was sick, he was bedridden but that wasn't what he was concerned about. After Luna had spoken some words to him he knew what to expect. Instead he was worried about Luna, the last meeting he had with Gabriel and
Nancy parents died, they were killed. Gabriel knows who killed her parents but he pretended in order to have her by his side. She believed he was her saviour and he had always been. She owed him and he knew, he knew what he was doing and how far he has done it. Gabriel was interested in the business of Alex. He wanted to know how he was making the money and how he was making sales. The space he had with Alex was on he had never expected and even more now that Zeke knew him personally. He nodded and smiled. Nancy was good at her jobs, she just loved doing things her own way. *******ZekeHe anxiously awaited the arrival of Alex, Zeke was somewhat happy and interested in the details. Alex had been making sales and they were all impressive and notable. Zeke stood up, he was in a boardroom. He wasn't alone, he couldn't be. The trio won't be complete, will it? He called for Gabriel. He had good news to share with him. He wanted to rub it in actually. He wanted to tell him how Alex had b
"Oh I do, I meant every word, every syllable and every darn letter. You should know meeting you was the biggest mistake in my whole damn life and just so you know I wish you were actually dead.!" The doctor added that Luna could have sworn she wished he dropped dead; she would have loved to kill him and make sure he had no means of surviving.She went through her bag in anger and ransacked it, she looked for her glasses and her mask, alongside her face cap. She stood up and wore it. Without a word she left his office and slammed the door. She sighed and raked her hair as she walked out of the hospital. Luna was filled with rage. She didn't believe that she sat down and listened to the horrible words that the man had said to her. She got into the car and slammed the door, she ignored if the car was dead expensive or if it could have some problems from how. She slammed it. She didn't care, she dropped her bag and held the steering wheels. She screamed, she screamed her loudest. She w
