Chapter 36 Eavesdropping
GRAY’S POV
I didn’t want to move an inch . I wanted to stay beside her till she opens her eyes
I wanted to closely monitor her, just Incase if she feels any pain …. of course I would force her to an hospital.
I held her hands and watched as she slept peacefully .
I grabbed my phone beside me , and dialled Collins number.
” How was it Collins” I asked with my gaze still fixed on Luna . I wasn’t gonna get distracted from looking at her .
“It was a success , 26 million dollars transferred , I’m heading back right now ” He replied me .
I nodded ” alright Gray, thanks man “.
I ended the call and dropped my phone . I wanted to leave and go get a glass of water , just Incase Luna wakes up , she might be in need of water .
I turned to leave , but when she made a little movement, I returned back on the bed to check on her .
I touched her forehead to confirm if she was actually burning up , and uses my other hand to feel mine .
” Normal , I think ” . I said even when I didn’t understand what exactly I was doing.
I couldn’t leave Luna , so I had to order a maid get a glass of water ready.
I gently laid beside her , and wrapped my hands around her , making her rest properly close to me .
I was about closing my eyes to rest a bit , when I heard a light knock on the door .
” Sir ,. someone’s here to see you ” A maid said standing outside still with the door closed .
I groaned trying not to be so loud in order to wake Luna up .
I wore my slippers and gently opened the door .
” Who ” I asked the maid , sounding a bit cold as I was in no mood to see anyone
” She awaits your presence outside”. The maid replied me .
” She ? ” I asked surprised. The only she that could ever come look for me right now or rather till now is Lisa .
I really thought I made it clear to her the last time .
I opened the door again , to check on Luna before turning around to leave .
I tucked my two hands in my pocket , walking with my eyes half closed as the hot ray of the sun was quite disturbing.
Lisa stood with her usual crazy outfit , and when she saw me getting closer to her , she smiled .
” What is it you want Lisa ” . I asked trying not to get impatient.
” I didn’t come here to start up a fight with you Gray, I just want to make a deal with you . That’s all ” . Lisa said in a rather calm manner .
To say I was impressed was an understatement, I just felt like she was a whole new Lisa I had never seen before .
” So ? Talk ! I don’t have all day with you “. I replied her
Lisa remained quiet for a while without saying anything, and it was beginning to piss me off .
I turned around to leave her but the she said something that made me stay back .
” I know who tried to kill Luna ” .
This statement made me pause , even though I didn’t want to believe her , I just had to turn around. How else would she know someone tried to hurt Luna , I didn’t tell her , neither did Collins nor Luna .
” What the hell are you talking about Lisa? ” . I questioned trying to keep my cool , or act like it wasn’t something I was desperate to know .
” Didn’t you hear me correctly, I said I know who tried to hurt Luna ” She repeated .
I was about replying her when we both heard a voice from behind. It was Luna’s
” So ? ” Luna yelled walking towards us .
I turned back to look at her , while Lisa scoffed
” Talk of the devil ” She whispered to herself.
I turned to face her , and she glared at me back.
” What !! ” She questioned me .
” Baby , you okay …. shouldn’t you be taking a nap ” . I asked Luna , after walking forward to hold her .
” What’s she doing here again , Gray, do you actually believe what she just said ! ” Luna said to me .
I turned around to look at Lisa who was smirking.
Honestly , I don’t think I even know what to believe anymore.
” She’s trying to trick you Gray, how else would she know if she isn’t on the bad guy’s side … Don’t listen to her Gray ” Lisa continue holding my face , and stopping me from glaring at Lisa .
I don’t think Lisa would dare to trick me , or go against me . She must know who I am better than any other person out there .
” Wow , I guess she’s smart , like you Gray”. Lisa said and we both looked at her
What’s she talking about? I questioned myself.
” Gray , I guess you don’t believe me right ? Well this is your only chance to know who or what’s gonna come at you next . Tick tock , tick tock. That’s the clock ticking, and you have just limited time Gray…” Lisa said .
She turned around ” see ya …” Said , and walked out of my house.
” What the hell was that about?”. I asked myself and with Luna calling my name , I came back to. my senses .
” She’s trying to trick you Gray….. Even if someone did try to attack me , they still haven’t showed their faces In a while now , I don’t think they’re gonna come back okay” . I heard her voice in between my thoughts.
Somehow, I felt Luna was wrong , I still don’t wanna tell her what was going on , but is don’t think I can hide it forever from her .
I took out my phone and messaged Collins.
” Come over , we need to talk ” .
I held Luna’s hands and walked her back inside the house .
And after making sure she drank a glass of water, I took her back to the room .
I wanted her to fall asleep quickly before Collins gets here else I won’t be able to talk to him without worrying she might listen .
” Get some more rest baby okay ” I said using the duvet to cover her up properly.
Before I turned to leave , she called my name .
” Gray , promise me you would never do what that liar said , you won’t meet up with her right ? ” She asked me .
I couldn’t reply for a minute because I needed to think about it .
I could feel Lisa was actually telling the truth , but it must come at a huge price before she tells me anything. And someone like Lisa isn’t meant to be trusted, she really might be up to something.
” I promise Luna , I won’t .” I walked closer to her
” Now you get some sleep okay , I’ll be back in a jiffy to check up on you “. I said and kissed her nose .
I paced round the sitting room , still awaiting Collins presence… At least I wanted to think of an idea before Collins get here .
” Gray what’s wrong man , saw your message and I had to hurry here “. I heard his voice as he walked in .
I took a seat , and told him to also take a seat .
I roughed my hair for a while , staring at the floor .
” Big trouble , I think Lisa knows ” . I said .
” Knows ? About what ? ” Collins asked .
I was about talking to him when I suddenly stopped and looked back .
” I’ll be back , better check if Luna’s asleep.” I said and stood up heading upstairs back .
I slowly opened the door and peeped in , seeing her sleep soundly made me happy. I closed the door and walked back downstairs.
LUNA’S POV….
Something’s wrong somewhere , maybe there’s something Gray’s not telling me .
Tried to kill me , I thought that was a threat from one of his enemies, and I thought I told Collins they weren’t trying to kill me that day .
So what the hell is going on .
I wanted to leave the bed and go meet Gray to tell me exactly what the hell is going on that I don’t know about.
But when I lifted myself up from the bed , I couldn’t hear footsteps and I immediately fell back on the bed , covering myself up and pretended to be asleep.
I could hear the little noises Gray made while opening the door and it made me wonder why he didn’t want me awake .
There must be something he’s hiding.This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
After I heard the close back , I waited for about one minute before opening my eyes again .
I sat on the bed and wondered if I should actually follow him or not . I was beginning to get worried he was actually going to meet Lisa or something else .
Without thinking about I again , I just decided to follow him .
I got down from the bed and wore my slippers .
I badly wanted to know what exactly it is Gray wasn’t telling me because I had every right to know especially if it is something about me .
I opened the door and carefully walked out of the room heading downstairs , and when I could get a better hearing of what they were saying, I stood there and decided to listen .
