Sold To The Gangster Billionaire

GRAY’S POV.

I sighed after hearing Luna’s words, well I knew I wouldn’t be able to hide such things from her forever. She would get to know sooner or later, and even if she doesn’t find out on her own this way , I was actually gonna tell her about it. I only needed the right time to sit her down and tell her everything. But I guess that time is right here and right now.

I held her shoulders firmly and finally took my hands down to hold her hands .

” Let’s sit down first okay. Don’t worry I’ll tell you everything you wish and need to know”. I said making a confused Luna sit on the long sofa with me.

” Alright, where should I start from? What are you mostly curious about? I asked trying to get her to calm down before listening to me.

” It happened when we were both young , I had gone on a trip to the beach with my father that day . Though he didn’t really tell me the main reason he had gone to the beach with me that day was because he wanted to sign up the concluding part of his contract with some clients” .

” Just like me , my father was also a Mafia boss, and I could tell he was being feared and respected but he had multiple enemies. He tried his best in keeping his family safe and trying to keep me away from the business too , at first , I wasn’t really interested in it too but when I found out the injustice behind my father’s death , and the real people behind it , I had to become a Mafia like my father and continue his legacy. Though the achievement he made during his years as a Mafia helped me a lot but the enemies he left behind were also after me .” I paused and look at Luna too see the reaction on her face , but when I say her paying attention and listening I decided to continue.

” On that day , my father was secretly attacked and brutally killed. He had never betrayed those who trusted him , but they betrayed him that day . then I was young maybe older than you a little bit but while standing at the bank of the water I could see my father being shot . I saw him fall to the ground after receiving so many bullets, and when he was at the verge of his death I could see him waving at me to run away .”

” I was scared , so scared that I didn’t Know what to do . I wanted to run and go meet my father but I knew I couldn’t. While trying to escape and run away one of them sighted me. By this time my father was dead with his dead body lying on the floor”.

” I had no other option but to run towards the direction of the ocean , I didn’t Know how to swim and I knew I would end up drowning if I actually did go through that way but I did. I had no other choice than to do it .”

” Before I could dive in , I was being shot in the leg . I really thought I was going to die because we were all in a quiet place , a place people wouldn’t really locate. I closed my eyes getting ready but that was when I heard your voice ….. I heard you shout out to me and run towards me .”

” You had bravely gotten into the water and pulled me out, you saved me back then Luna. and the moment I fully opened my eyes and captured your face , it was something I didn’t wanna ever forget . The fear and worried look in your eyes , the way you screamed out to people for help , your desperation to save me then , I could never forget them . Even while I was being carried away to the hospital I vowed never to forget you and come back to find you after I fully recover”.

” A year after that incident , I came back to the same beach again and waited all day long to see you , but I didn’t. I kept on coming on several occasions but still I didn’t see you . I waited all day in the beach everyday hoping I’d see you again one day .”

” After that year passed and I still didn’t get to see you at the beach , I just assumed that you would never come again or maybe you relocated to someone else “.

” I wanted to give up and forget all about you , but I couldn’t, my heart knew what it wanted , and it was you it wanted that moment”.

” Unable to find you , I began tracing your movement using the picture which I had of you , the only picture which you had taken in the beach that day . I kept on searching high and low for you, but each time I get closer something happens making me loose track of you “.

” But I still wasn’t ready to give up just yet , I began making drawings of you after that day and decided to create a special room which I would keep all of these and when I feel like I’m losing all hopes , I’ll come take a look at you here “.

“A year later again after searching I still didn’t find you , Collins had to try everything possible to make me forget about you, but it just didn’t work . Though I had taken over my father’s work that time and had become a respectable and powerful Mafia , but I wasn’t all that happy . On several occasions I thought of giving up over and over again but this pictures you see here , this room kept me going”

” And on the third year when I still haven’t found you yet, I thought it was because maybe you recognized me that’s why you didn’t want me to find you , I actually thought you were the one hiding from me , maybe you really do recognize me that’s why I’m unable to find you . So I decided to put on a mask while going in search of you again “.

” Thankfully, it worked . On the day I had worn that mask , I found you . O didn’t even take me a second to recognize that it was you , I knew immediately I saw you …. And I swear, I was more than happy under that mask of mine . You never changed as you were still the same lady I knew that day .”

” Seeing that I found you only after putting on a mask made me realize that just maybe I had been right about you running away from me because you had recognized me , so in order to keep you with me I had to make my workers and maids trick you into believing I had always been masked and no one has ever seen my face before.”

” But on that day , when I had taken my mask off and you didn’t recognize me , I realized that you weren’t running away from me but rather maybe I wasn’t just searching the right place instead”.

” I was really glad I found you , and I’m more happy we’re together , and in love. I could never ask for more Luna ” . I concluded.

When I looked at Luna , she had tears in her eyes making me wonder exactly why she was crying.

” A month after that day I had saved you , I lost my mom and my dad also lost his job. We were made to move out of the house because we couldn’t afford to pay our rent anymore. And we moved to a smaller town where we settled down before my dad got married to my stepmother who earned some money and was able to bring us back “.

“After that incident, I never stopped thinking about how you were doing , and prayed everyday that you would survive and not die . I would come to the beach almond everyday to check if you would also be there, but I didn’t get to see you . But after my mother died I was so hurt that I had to actually forget about you and worry more aboutmyself and my dad “. Luna said trying to wipe off the tears in her eyes .ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

I came closer to her and hugged her tight while we were still seated and she cried more on me while I patted her back.

” It’s alright baby , at least we found each other again , and that’s the most important thing okay “. I comforted her and kissed her hair .
