Chapter 8 FOR THE PAST THREE YEARS
LUNA’S POV
Don’t question me when I instruct for something. Don’t dare disobey me. And Do as I said, I’m your master… You are my PROPERTY!” he said.
I bite my lower lips and nodded.
“Do you understand everything I just said?” He asked.
I nodded nervously.
“Don’t you dare nod at me and speak up!!” He grabbed my chins and I whined in pain.
“Please I’m sorry. I understood what you said” I pleaded.
He let go of me and I help my chin as it was paining me.
“Look at me… In the eyes” He said. I trembled and tried to look at him in the eyes, but it isn’t working.
“I’m sorry, I can’t. Please don’t hurt me, I can’t” I trembled.
He remained silent for a while and then he held my chin up and my eyes landed on his.
Oh Damn! Those ocean eyes.
His next utter shocked me and left me paralyzed.
“Don’t dare… Don’t dare, fall in love with me” He said.
I stared at him…. He let go of my cheeks.
“Get out” He instructed.
I bowed immediately and rushed out of the door, My legs were weak, very weak.
I held my chest and tried preventing my heart from falling off its place.
“Don’t dare fell in love with me” His voice echoed.
I felt my head trying brust as I rushed into my room. What is happening to me!.
I glump down the water I saw in a glass by my bed. I felt calm and ready to think. I breathed down heavily.
“What makes him think I’m going to fell in love with him? He’s so grumpy and cold and he’s definitely not my type” I muttered.
My thoughts went back to my discussion with Elsa. Why didn’t I get to sign how long I’m going to stay here?.
I’d feel better if I know how long I’m going to be staying here. Since I did get to know, does that mean he have other plans for me?
Like, does the mean I’m going to stay here forever and I won’t be able to see my father again?
. No no! C’mon Luna don’t even think of that. I’m going to see my father, again. I don’t know when but I’ll, definitely.
Maybe he will still talk to me about it? Right?! But it doesn’t seem like he’s going to. Calm down Luna! I urged myself.
I knock at the door made me look up. May walked in after she heard me say, Come in.
“Come down for dinner” She said.
“Sorry, Is Gray going to be there?” I asked her. She smiled before answering me.
“Yes”
“Is it okay if I stay back here?” I asked.
“You won’t want to get on his bad book” She said.
I stood up immediately. “I’ll be down there then” I told her and she nodded walking out.
“Why does everyone one kept talking about his bad book? I’ve my bad book too!
Argh!

I walked down the stairs and then to the dining room. I meet Gray sitting down there.
Masked, How is he supposed to eat wearing that mask? I saw Elsa walked out of the dining room, she just finished sitting the table.
I entered the dining room and sat down, The door of the dining suddenly shut and I heard the lock cricked. Gray didn’t say a word, maybe because it’s a normal to him. But why will the door be lucked?
Is he going to do something to me? At the dining room.
I was still talking when he slowly took off his mask.
“Arghhh!!!” I screamed immediately knocking myself off the chair and hitting butts on the floor.
Did he just? What did he just did? Elsa… Elsa said I’ll get killed if I see his face. I quickly covered my eyes and wept.
I saw his face, Not well but I just saw his face! I’m going to die. He’s going to kill me.
But it’s not my fault, I didn’t sneak up on him, He was the one that took it off himself. I didn’t….
Arghhh! Oh, I should have covered my eyes when I saw him taking off his mask. Is that why the door got locked? How can I be so foolish! I should have known. I should have know!
“What are you doing?” His voice made me open my eyes.
I was still laying on the floor, I didn’t look up.
“Please don’t kill me, I didn’t see your face. Believe me I didn’t! Please don’t hurt me. I’m really sorry” I pleaded.
I heard the dining room door open, I looked up and he was gone. He was no on longer sitting in the chair.
I stared at his plate, he was done eating too.
What just happened? Did I really saw his face or I was just hallucinating? Was it my imaginary?
No. I’m sure, very sure I just saw Gray took off his mask.
I swallowed and sat on the chair, I slowly started eating but I don’t think the food will digest because my mind isn’t focused.
I’m very hunger but the food how tastes sour in my mouth. As I eat, I dog even feel myself eating.
What the f*ck just happened!.

“You mean, Gray allowed you see his face?” Elsa asked flabbergasted.
“Yes. I was shocked and thought I was going to die,” I said.
“We know he takes off his mask to eat but I didn’t know he’s going to allow you see his face. That’s his prevent Dining and no one’s allowed in there, I was shocked when May told me he wanted you with him”
“Why is that so?’ i trembled.
“I’ve lived her for the past five years and I’ve never gotten a glimpse of his face, neither the maid or anyone else here” Elsa said.
“What!? Then why?…. Why did he allow me see his face? Did he do that intentionally so he can fasten my death? Since I’ve seen his face dies that mean I’m going to die?”.
“I don’t know Luna. But what is his face like? Tell me. Despite my old age , I’m anxious to know what it looks like” Elsa said.
I sighed and tried to recall that particular moment.
“Elsa I don’t know, I got knocked off from my chair immediately. I swear I didn’t get to see his face well” I said tearily.
“It’s okay Luna. It wasn’t your fault in anyway, relax, we will wait and see what he have to say after” Elsa said.
“What if, what if my fate was to die? What if he kills me?”
“The last two maids that sneaked up on him and saw his face was tortured and till date I’ve never heard from them. We believe he killed them as that was what he stated. So I’m so confused as you are, You didn’t sneak up on him, its just like he revealed his face to you” She said.
“Oh God!” I weep.
“Luna” Elsa called.
“Yes?”
“Are you sure he noticed you enter the dining?” She whispered and my heart nearly went to my throat.
“I don’t know. I entered, sat down” Isn’t he supposed to noticed me? And when he took off his mask, he saw and heard me yelled before falling down. If he hadn’t noticed my presence , he should have reacted but he just asked me what am doing before walking down” I narrated.
Silence swept in and we both seems lot in thoughts. I’m going to die tomorrow morning.
“Tell me Elsa. I’m I going to die? I won’t be able to see my dad again? I’m going to join my mom in the other world?”
Elsa hugged me as I cried. “Is okay Luna, I’ll make sure nothing happened to you. It’s night already, Please kindly get yourself some sleep. Tomorrow might be a long day for you” She said patting my head.
“Can you stay with me until I sleep off? I’m scared” I weep slowly.
“Mmm” Elsa sighed.
ELSA’S POV
I walked out of Luna’s room after she had fallen asleep. She’s just my daughter in everything and I really feel for her.
I don’t want to go to the length of explaining who Gray really is, to her. She might probably live with fear throughout her stay here.
And how is it possible that she wasn’t told how long she’s expected to stay here? That strange.
And about her seeing his face, that’s the strangest thing I’ve heard in the past five years of my stay here.
Something is definitely going on, what? What is really happening?.
I opened her door again and she was sleeping peacefully, I feel so bad for her. She’s not yet into the world and with what I’m seeing, she doesn’t know anything single thing about Gray.
Doesn’t she browse? Doesn’t she go out? There’s no way someone won’t know who Gray is. She’s Strange.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
For Gray to intentionally allow her see his face, She’s definitely the one.
I’m sure. I’m sure she’s the one! Finally, we’ve searched… For the past three years and two months.
