Chapter 169: Chapter 169

Luna POV

Everything and everyone is quiet, all the lights are off. No one can be seen on the road or way. I’m the only one in the room now because Athen slept in Leilani’s room.

Wendy and Wayne have already gone to their room. Sometimes, I want to laugh at destiny because when I have something to go through there are more people at home. It would have been happier if Adonis was here.

In my mind, I was not aware that I was asleep. I didn't expect to fall asleep because I was thinking too much about Adonis, I didn't know that I had insomnia.

I haven’t been to the doctor yet because I don’t have time. I have more time to hide in the blanket than to go somewhere.

~~~~~

In the depths of the night, I feel the aircon turn up.

I was restless and I could not open my eyes. And no matter how cold, I didn’t feel any chilly at all. The freeze air just hits my body but my skin doesn't react.

When I felt something in my neck, I slowly opening my eyes. Because it was dark I couldn't see anything but I wasn't a fool to not know what was on my neck.

I closed my eyes again as I swallowed, hoping that everything happening now was just a dream.

"How many days, months and years have passed, Luna?" The knife stuck in my neck so I lifted my body a little.

I told myself that I was ready to follow Adonis no matter what death was destined for me. But with the simple knife pointed at me, I was instantly trembling with fear.

"What do you need from me?!" I took courage and showed him that I was not afraid. I succeeded because there was no trace of anything in my voice.

“Everything! I want to recoup everything I wasted for you! The year! Money! And chance! You betrayed me Luna even I gave everything to you!”

"It's all your fault—"

"Shut up!"

I never finished what I was saying because I felt the ache in my neck and its moist. Which means my neck is already injured.

This fucking psychopath.

“Look, Cole. You were given the opportunity to change, why don't you make it a way to get your life back on track?” My voice is calm because he won’t listen to me when he sees that I’m more aggressive with him.

I was not mistaken because the knife was already protruding from my neck. That gives me a little chance to gather all my strength.

As I took a deep breath, I felt his tears trickle down my arm. He was also sobbing.

I was planning to talk to him in a better way when he suddenly laughed as if something was funny about what was happening now.

“I will not forgive you, Luna. Even if that man goes to hell, I will chase him just to get revenge!”

Every word he uttered was full of hatred. If he wanted to follow Adonis, he should have jumped into the sea as well.

I was thinking of another way to signal to Mark or Raymond that my life was in danger. How did this man get in here! We made sure that none of them could enter.

As I slowly regained my strength, I pushed him hard and ran away from the bed. Perhaps, because of the weakness of my knees, I suddenly fell to the floor.

“Cole! Stop everything you are planning now! Nothing will good happen if you continue to be like this!” I was crawling towards the door while he was looking for his knife that he had dropped.

“Oh. Luna. Luna. My Luna.” When he saw the knife, he quickly got off the bed and slowly walked towards me so the tremor in my chest doubled.

He stepped forward in a suspenseful way. I crawled back even more even though I knew I had nothing to back up.

My eyes are already crying. Now, I realized what Estella wanted to convey about her saying that I still have a child left to take care of. When someone's life is really on the brink, that's when they really realized the thing that they should do.

He raised his hand, gripping the knife with his two hands. I closed my eyes and called on the various Gods in the world that they would not take me first because my daughter still needed me.

I closed my eyes, I leaned against the door but I was quickly pushed away when it suddenly opened loudly.

My eyes widened and I was relieved when the light came on. When I looked up, I saw Raymond and Mark already pointed the gun at the man in front of me.

When I looked at Cole, I saw that he was wearing the same clothes as Mark and Raymond. That's why he could enter here because he pretended to be one of the guards.

The person helping Cole is so influential that even being a guard has been invaded.

I went to the farthest corner of the wall so I wouldn’t trouble them with what they were doing. I hugged my knees and didn’t want to witness how what was happening now would end.

“Mr. Cole, you still have time to put down the thing you're holding. We will count you to three and by our final count you should have released that weapon. ” Raymond spoke.

"One." Mark did the counting. "Two."

Cole looked at me so I hugged my body even more. I wanted to think I was safe but because of his stare, I just thought that I was still not safe from anything.

"Three."

The two of them was about to fire their guns, but before they could, Cole ran towards me.

I closed my eyes, ready to accept what will happen.
