Chapter 37 Her only solace
LUNA’S POV.
” Lisa knows what? ” I heard Collins voice while Gray stood up from the couch pacing to and fro.
” She knows about what happened that day, and maybe she knows who the hell was responsible” . Gray said .
I could see the suprised look on Collins face when he stared at him.
So what If she knows , what’s he big deal there . I was still really confused and didn’t really get why they both had their looks on their faces.
” Let me guess , she wants something in return right? Collins said , with Gray using his palm to cover his mouth, he nodded .
” Exactly man , I’m so confused right now ! ” Gray replied.
” Did you tell Luna what happened the second time ,? ” I heard Collins question and that was when I knew that I was right.
Gray’s hiding something from me .
” No , I cant. I want to but at least not now, she might end up doing something stupid when she angry ” Gray said.
Collins roughed his head grunting and becoming worried . ” We got to end this shit now Gray , before it gets out of hand”.
” We can’t let the world know this is happening, what would those who fear and respect you think ?” He continued
‘ Gray , what I said the other day , have you thought about it. Believe me , it’s the only way right now”. Immediately Collins uttered such words , Gray’s fist tightened as he turned to stare back at him .
“:We aren’t doing that shit Collins, Luna’s not gonna be involved and that’s final ” .
His attitude made me wonder what exactly they wanted me to do , I felt a bit hurt Gray was refusing to talk to me , hurt that he never talked to me about all this . But I also understood he was so scared to .
” Gray listen to me , she would never get hurt . I promise. She’s gonna be with a tracker, one that we can use to locate her . We just need them to go after her , just for a little bit . I don’t think they were trying to kill her that day Gray, and I don’t think they will now . It’s you they want and not her , so if you want them to stop going after your woman , then and this shit ” Collins said , his voice sounded so deep with authority.
I nodded my head when I heard these words from Collins
He was right , how can these cruel bastards use me to threaten Gray.
No wonder he kept it to himself, not wanting to hurt me by telling me this .
I was expecting to hear from Gray next , but he didn’t utter a word , maybe he was trying to think about it . And I kept praying silently that he would just agree with Collins as I was willing to do it . Help the end this .
” Luna’s becoming stronger , all you have to do is make her more tougher . I’m sure she’ll be able to handle some of them on her own . We really need her help on this Gray”. Collins continued.
Of course, I would kick all of their butts , not some . ” I said to myself when I heard Collins words .
” How about I go meet Lisa like she said , or make a deal with her , she’s never gonna refuse me ” Gray finally said after being silent for a while .
” What !!” I wanted to just come out from hiding and talk some sense into Gray’s head , not untill I heard Collins
” What ?? No way Gray. You’re not doing that . You know the rules . No matter what , we don’t negotiate with enemies , not for the sake of anything in this world. You taught me that Gray, so while go back on your words “.
Collins stood up on his feet this time , and I could tell he was really getting angry with Gray.
” I don’t know what else to do , and am not ready to endanger Luna by involving her in all these , something might go wrong . And besides we aren’t even sure Luna’s gonna agree to such “.
” Says who ? ” I replied him , loud enough for both of them to hear me as I came down the stairs totally.
” Says who Gray ? Huh ? ” I said again with my two arms folded under my armpits.
I could even see the shocked expression on his face.
” Did you …. Did you listen to everything?”
” Yes I did Gray, I knew you were hiding something from me all this while, why didn’t you tell me all these were happening and how long or how many times I’ve been used to threaten you huh ? ” I questioned him feeling so disappointed
” What about Lisa ” I continued ” you were also planning on seeing Lisa after you promised not to right? So now we’re breaking promises huh ” I said looking at him .
” Luna , I can’t let you do this , it’s too dangerous, please stay out of it okay ”
I scoffed at his words, still feeling so disappointed he lied to me earlier.
” Then stay out of it Gray, I make my own decisions and not you ”
I turned to Collins and walked towards him .
” So what’s the plan Collins” I asked totally ignoring Gray.
THIRD PERSON’S POV
Lisa took a seat on her couch and placed the laptop at the center of the table close to her . She cleared her throat probably before accepting the call.
Johnny stood beside his father who was sitted on his king size chair .
” Good day sir ” She greeted and smiled broadly. And when her eyes met with his , her smile increased becoming broader as he also waved her hands at him.
Johnny didn’t make any facial expression while standing behind his father . He just kept a strict face as his father was a man who doesn’t joke around with things he considers important.
Mr Harold turned around to look at his son and nodded his head at him.All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.
Johnny nodded back understanding his father and came forward still keeping on the strict face .
” How did it go ? ” He asked without any bit of emotions in his eyes , his voice sounding twice as cold and strict .
It was like he had become a whole new person entirely .
Lisa was stunned at how a man could change so easily, she felt disappointed and hurt mainly because his eyes and look felt like nothing had happened between them at all , like he didn’t know her that much .
” It .. it went well , just as planned, he might come looking for me very soon at least I gave him a reason to ” Lisa said, though her voice wasn’t that clear and a bit low .
She continued staring at him , hoping he would look her straight in the eyes and smile just a little. but instead he kept looking away countless times , trying to avoid her gaze .
He cleared his throat and looked at his father again who nodded before turning back to look at Lisa .
” You know the next step to take , Do ensure everything goes as planned. We’ll be on the lookout for you and soon end at this one and for all. You’ll receive half of the payment as soon as possible and when all these us done , we’ll have the decision to make weather to recruit you as one of us or not .” He said in the most business like manner he could .
” Thank you miss Mona Lisa, and do ensure to have a nice day ” . He concluded and without even giving her a chance to speak he disconnected the call .
Lisa was beyond shocked at how he acted ignorant so professionally, so just couldn’t find the right words to describe it and how she felt that moment.
And here she was , thinking about him always, and harbouring feelings for a man like him .
Was she insane or what !!
He has this stupid, unexpected and mostly annoying look in his face and it made her wonder if he was actually the same person who wrote that letter to her that night .
Was he actually trying to play with her feelings or what .
I’m going nuts ! I’m insane ! Lisa scolded herself countless times , before heading towards her room holding a packet of cigarette and a bottle of alcohol.
This could be her only solace at the moment.
