GRAY’S POV


    ” Collins, I told you not to call today, I’m quite busy right now “.


    I turned back to make sure Luna wasn’t standing behind me, and when I didn’t see her, I heaved loudly and kept on walking further.


    ” What about the goods , did you get it safe to the warehouse? I asked wondering how the mission had gone.


    ” We did Gray, it’s safe but we kind of lost two men , I think we might have underestimate them a bit , they were quite stronger than we thought”.


    ” Alright, and what I asked you to find out? How far have you gone with it.


    Collins cleared his throat a bit hearing such words from me before replying.


    ” I still haven’t found him yet, for all we know, he might have died or so, but I’ll keep on searching”.


    I clenched my hands turning them into fist .


    ” Find that fucking bastard , and when you do beat him up till he talks , and when he refuses kill him slowly “.


    ” Gray , it’s been a week since that incident, and yet nothing else has happened since then ,e over let’s talk , you wouldn’t want Luna to find out about this right ?  I heard Collins say and I nodded immediately.


    ” I’ll be there soon , how about the Italian trader , how long do we need to keep awaiting them ?.


    ” They should arrive in a week time , contacted them few hours ago . I have it all under control, just focus more on finding out what the hell happened that night” Collins replied and instantly I ended the call.


    LUNA’S POV


    I was just a little distance darther away from Gray , and if I had stayed there, I probably would have been able to hear his conversation on phone , but I really don’t know what made me turn back .


    Probably because I wanted to trust Gray more , I knew deep down that he wasn’t hiding anything from me , buttely he’s been acting all strange and really busy .


    Well he’s a business man too, so what can I say.


    I smiled and continued training hard , this time I was gonna use the bullets to break down the bottle on the table.


    ” Hey baby ” I heard Gray’s voice from behind and I  smiled as he approached me.


    ” You done ? I asked and he nodded.


    ” Yeah , you hungry ? He asked me , and immediately I heard it , I smiled .N?velDrama.Org content rights.


    He held me by the waist and slowly dragged me outside.


    ” do you have something you wanna tell me ? maybe like something I should know ? I asked while he rested on my shoulders.


    He looked at me , ” nothing,e on , let’s go eat okay  , you trust I wouldn’t hide anything from you right ? Gray said , and I smiled happily at him making me believe him more.


    ” I’m sorry I doubted you Gray,. Hope I’m forgiven huh ? I said giving him a puppy eyes.


    ” It’s fine Luna , yunno eyes like that rarely works on me.


    We held hands together, and walked down the stairs ying as we climbed down .


    Gray made sure to ensure I sat downfortably close to him , and then he went over to also take his seat beside me .


    ” Baby , do you wanna go out with me tonight? I heard Gray’s voice say.


    ” Really, on a date ! I questioned trying hard not to make my cheeks turn tomato red.


    ” Date!! Yeah date , let’s call it a date” Gray replied making me give him a killer look.


    .


    ” Gray , what’s wrong, if you’re going through anything, you can tell me okay ” I said trying to be serious, but he found it funny.


    He chuckled holding my hands,


    ” Luna I’m fine, I didn’t just think of it as a date . I really wanted our first date to be quiet special, not on an ordinary day , but a special day …. but I promise I’ll make tonight special for both of us okay ” he replied.


    Oh God, he really knows how to convince me so much.


    I tightened his hands while smiling,


    ” Gray , thank you so much !!.


    And when we continued eating andughing together, his phone rang again .


    This time he picked it up in front of me .


    ” Gray , hurry up , it’s urgent”


    I really couldn’t hear what they were sayingpletely, but that was the only thing I was able to hear.


    Gray stood up immediately the call ended.


    ” Baby, I’ll be back to pick you up tonight, I got an urgent call from thepany , I really forgot I had an emergency meeting this noon . I’m so sorry love I’ll. make it up to you okay _ I promise”


    He immediately ran upstairs, maybe to grab his keys and when he came downstairs, I was awaiting him.


    ” Be careful okay ! Drive carefully! I shouted enough for him to hear.


    He came back towards me and kiss me on the lips.


    ” I love you ” he said and hurried towards his car.


    As he sped out of the house I waved him goodbye and forcefully carved a smile on my lips as I walked back into the house.


    Something’s definitely up with Gray,


    I left my food , and walked the stairs , I just felt like clearing my mind at that moment , maybe I wanted to stop thinking about that night.


    It still creeps me out a lot , but thankfully nothing like that happened again.


    I opened the door to room and walked over to the bed to rx . As Iyed on my bed , I began recalling memories of all I had been through back at home.


    Andter started thinking about my dad, I wish he could see his daughter now , all grown up , beautiful and well taken care of .


    I really wanted to tell Dad about all I had been through during those period, I wanted to cuddle him tight and tell him I’m doing okay , and living fine with a man I truly love .


    I wanted to hold his hands and tell him that because of all what my stepmom did to me , I was able to meet my destined man , I was able


    to meet Gray , a man who had desperately been searching for me all along.


    I really wanted to visit dad and talk to him about Gray, I wanted to have a daughter and father time together with him alone , and listen to every single details of how he had been living his life without me .


    I wanted to know if he was actually having a hard time without me , I wanted so bad to know if he stopped drinking since I left  home , maybe he changed .


    As these thoughts filled my mind , I couldn’t help but cry , to  free my tears and cry so much that I had to cuddle my pillow so tight for support .


    GRAY’S POV


    ” what’s so urgent Collins ”


    ” Gray , I got a call from one of the Cive’s right now , saying to terminate the deal . But the problem is the object it’s in their custody and they have no ns of dropping the cash ”


    ” Worse part …. Johnny’s dead ”


    ” What the hell did you just say , what the hell were you doing when all these happened huh ? Waoh they wouldn’t dare do such ” I replied trying hard not to let my anger take a better part of me


    ” What about the rest , did they arrive safely? ”


    ” Yes they all did , but what are we gonna do about this ” Collins asked trying to calm my down but instead I smirked


    ” Wait … Are you joking around right now , this isn’t the right time for that Gray , it’s deep shit going on yunno right ”


    ” Enough man , they wouldn’t just get away like that ! We’ll make it really quiet when it’s time ” I replied him tapping him hard on the shoulder


    ” Gray , you sure about this ? ” I heard Collins say


    ” They messed with us first , so we should give them a payback don’t you think ? ” .


    I took out two  cigarettes  from the ss table close to me , and handed one over to Collins.


    ” Still haven’t found that bastard ? ” I asked filling my mouth with smoke , also inhaling it out .


    Handing over the lighter to Collins, I took a seat on the sofa


    ” Nah , not yet .. but Gray don’t you think you should tell Luna she might be in danger , she has every right to know man ”


    I nodded even though I knew what Collins had said was true , but I can’t bear to tell Luna such a thing . I really don’t want to put her in an ufortable position


    “Not now man , I’ll be able to protect her  , she doesn’t need to know about it ”


    ” I  think now that they know she’s my woman , you know what’s gonna happen next right ? So get ready Collins , you know I can’t lose her right ?  I asked looking at Collins who nodded as we both continued smoking aggressively.
