Chapter 21 I wish to be strong
GRAY’S POV
Leaning close to the limo which was meant to be our ride to the ball , my gaze were fixed on my phone as I awaited her .
” Ladies ? Seriously, mom was right . They really do take the entire day dressing up and putting those weird stuffs on their faces “.
I raised my head up after glancing at my wrist watch , and behold my eyes with the most beautiful lady I’d ever set my eyes on .
It made my heart beat increased as i gazed at her , and unknowingly a smile appeared on my lips.
And as she stared at me, she smiled back trying to perfect her walking steps to maybe impress me
I scoffed at first, but then as I walked closer to her , I chuckled, so did she .
” Hey , I look so awful right? Arrgh was I always this skimpy?”she asked herself but I only looked at her
Skimpy or not , I don’t give a damn because I really need to let this lady know she’s looking so breathe taking tonight.
” No , it’s just perfect on you , like it’s was actually made for you ” I replied her question while she stared at me , trying to figure out maybe I was actually telling a lie or being sincere.
” It’s not what you’re thinking baby , I mean it , you look so perfect . I could grab you and eat you up here ” I said as winked at her seductively .
” Gray , you won’t stop being naughty right ? ” She replied winking back ” we’ll have the whole time to do that when we’re back , for now Mr , aren’t we gonna be late ? ” .
I came closer to her , our face so close to each other , it felt like our lips would touch at any moment , and if I dare claim her lips , we might end up missing the ball .
And then , I looked straight into her eyes , lifted my left hand and tucked some errants strands of her hair behind her ears .
She closed her eyes , probably waiting for the magical moment.
” Luna , I wanna tell you something when we get back , it’s probably not much of a surprise but it’s something you might like ” I said and immediately she opened her eyes.
” Alright”she replied nodding her head
We attached our hands together , smiled at each other a second time and walked towards the limo .

” We’re here baby”I said carefully raising her head off my shoulders. she had actually fallen asleep on the way .
” Oh we’re here ? ” She replied, her voice a bit strange and it made me wonder why
” Luna , you alright? What’s there matter ? ”
” I’m fine , just that …. errm… I’ve never been to a ball before and it gives me the chills , since it’s my first time here , I don’t think I’ll do great , I think I’m”
” Scared ?” I completed her last words and she nodded like a baby trying hard to control her fear.
I hugged her tight a bit , before pulling away …. ” If you want , we can go back home , I don’t like seeing you so uncomfortable hmm”
She looked at me , ” no , we can’t, we got here already, so there’s no going back . And besides, you wanted to make this night special for me , so why ruin it and turn back . I just need to take a deep breathe and I’ll be fine.”
” I’ll be here with you baby , I won’t your sight for a second okay ?” I assured her
“Promise?” She said and I nodded ” promise”
We both came down from the limo walking gently and slowly into the ball.
” Here Luna ” I said drawing out a seat and she gently sat down , I walked over to the other side and took my seat
“. it’s so lovely in here , it’s beautiful like nothing I’ve seen” I heard Luna saidFrom NôvelDrama.Org.
” Now that’s we’re together, I’ll sure to take you to places like this round the world with me by your side . You haven’t even witnessed a little of what I’m capable of doing , what I wish to you ” I replied back
LUNA’S POV
Gray is the sweetest, I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a limit to how much he loves me
” Thank you so much Gray” I replied
” But ….”I tried saying but he cut me off immediately
” But what baby”
” But this isn’t exactly what I want , no I mean I really love all that you do , and I really love you too , but right now , I think maybe I can’t be Happy, at least not till I quench my taste for revenge, not untill I set my father free from that witch ” I almost had tears in my eyes saying this as recalled what she did to me .
She had no fucking right whatsoever to sell me off , I’m not a worthless thing that can be bought with money .
” Luna ” Gray said looking straight into my teary eyes
” Are you sure this is what you want , I mean it’s an easy thing for me to get done in less than a day . But , I just want you to be sure of what you’re about doing , I don’t want any regrets” Grey replied .
” There’s no going back Gray, this is exactly what I want , if not to make her rot in jail forever , then I must be the one to kill her myself. She deserves nothing but death for all she did to me , nothing but cruel death ” I half yelled hitting my hand so hard on the table that it hurts so much .
It hurts like hell as my hands turned red , but the pains were much bearable unlike what my heart was feeling right now . Heavy in pain I recalled event I never wanted to remember
” I almost got raped , all because of her , she’s ruined my life , and it wasn’t just enough, she treated my dad like a puppet , controlling his every words and gave orders like she owned the house . She disrespected my late mom and made it look like she was worthless, she hurt my family so much , and I couldn’t do anything about it ” I kept on saying without stopping
I could keep on going on and on , because there was no end to what she did to my family.
” I want revenge!! “I half yelled frightening Gray a little
” I’m sorry , I just …. I’ll be right back ” I said and stood up to look around maybe I could find an exit to the restroom
I kept on walking straight , with a lot on my mind right now . And finally I found it . With ease I walked in and held the tub gently.
I wanted to grab the glass on the wall, like I’d see people do in the movies each time they were so angry but I couldn’t.
Gray might get really mad if I do , and so I calmed down taking a deep breath as I looked at myself in the mirror
My eyes were becoming dark , dark and scary but I cared less about that . Everything that evil woman did to me , I’ll make her regret , I’ll. pay her ten folds , I’ll make her beg for mercy, crawling on her knees .
I kept on trying to imagine the crazy things I had in mind to do to her , just then I heard a knock on the door
” Luna , you okay in there ? “I heard Gray’s voice .
I must have made him worried .
” I’m fine Gray, I’ll be out in a minute okay ” I said and quickly cleaned up the tears rolling down freely. My makeup had become a mess already .
I dipped my hand into bag , bringing out bringing out my brown powder and applied it trying fix up my face properly . I didn’t want Gray to be worried either .
I slowly opened the door , and there was Gray standing so close to me with a worried face , he pulled me into a tight hug , and trust me I really needed it at that moment. It made me feel relieved a bit while I tightened my body more .
” I don’t ever want to see you cry Luna ” I heard him say patting my hair slowly . It made me feel relieved and Happy that I had someone like him by my side . God really knows I needed someone like him in my life .
We both held hand , and walked back to our seat . He pulled out a seat , I smiled and sat down .
I sipped my wine slowly but closed my eyes a little immediately I did.
” What , you don’t like it ? ” Gray asked
” No … i. do.. but , it tastes a. bit weird , not like the juice we do take at home ” I replied him
Gray chuckled hearing me say such
” You’ll get used to it okay , ” he nodded urging me drink more .
Slow music are my favorite since I was young . As the music kept on playing, I just kept on shaking my head slowly, following the slow rythm of the song , and watched as couples danced with each other , laughing, some kissing and some romantically holding each other close .
” Wanna dance ? ” Gray asked bringing me back from my world of fantasy .
” Uhmmm I don’t think I can ,. I’ve never done this before , I might end up stepping on your toes countless times ” I replied.
” Don’t worry , I’ll teach you , and I’ll bear the pain if you do okay “he replied and placed his hands on mine.
” Take a look at those people, do you see how slow she dances with him , you have to just listen to the music and flow along with it , and then you’ll do great okay ” Gray said trying to calm me or rather assure me .
I nodded and walked to the dancing floor with him .
” Are you ready ? “He whispered to. me , trying not to be so loud
” Yeah ”
He held me by the waist with his hands while I placed mine on his shoulders.
We continued dancing perfectly, even though I made some little mistakes.
” Gray ” I called after a while of silence
” Huh? “He replied looking straight into my eyes
” I want to be strong like you , teach me how to fight ” I said bodly looking back at him .
