"So they are coming today." Luna asked her aunty. She smiled and nodded at Luna.

"Yes, I just hope they would understand our position and will give us some more time." Luna patted her aunt's shoulder and smiled assuring her.

"Don't worry aunty. I will not let them take this orphanage away from us. It's my brother's last reminder. There is no way that I am gonna let it go."

she patted Luna's head and kissed her forehead. "He must be so proud of you." Luna's eyes started getting teary at her aunt's words but she only smiled at her.

"What are you doing Mister leave my hand first." They both heard Melissa's voice. They both went towards the direction from where voices were coming.

Luna Pov

I saw a pale-skinned man holding Mel's wrist as she was trying to get away from him. He sighed in annoyance and said.

"Like I told you miss I am here to collect the debt. My boss was busy so I came on his behalf." He replied with his deep husky voice.

"You can leave her Mister." He turned towards me and left Mel's wrist. He raised an eyebrow. "And you are Miss." He questioned me. I sighed.

"I am Luna. Luna Michael the owner of this place." He nodded and started his speech which I was expecting.

"Hello, Ms. Michael. I am Gabriel."

"Well Miss Michael. As you know that your father got a loan from my boss. And it's already been 3 years but still there is nothing that we are getting. And this time my boss is really mad. Not only mad but he's in rage. And you wouldn't like to see his rage miss." He said in a threatening voice.

"I can understand Mr. Gabriel. It's not like I have an Alladin's lamp. I need time Mr. Gabriel. I am trying my best for past 3 years to pay this debt. And like you can see I already paid 1 million last year and that was because of my continuous struggle." His face didn't change it was still cold and blank.

"But I can assure you that I will try my best to pay this debt as soon as possible. I just need some time." He nodded but soon he let out a chuckle.

"Miss Michael do you think you have to pay 1 more million no Miss. The loan that your father took was 5 million and you only paid 1 million. It's not a small amount on which we can argue Ms. Micheal." He said making me bit my lip in nervousness.

"My boss already has given you a lot of time miss. And like I am telling you I am not a heartless person. So I am giving you a month to pay back the debt or next time I will not be the one talking to you. It will be my boss. And once he came here. Remember, you have to give him this orphanage or his money back."

With that, he nodded and walked away. Not a heartless person huh. Seriously. A month. I saved money for 2 years than I was able to pay 1 million and he's telling me to pay 4 million in a month. Is he serious.

I felt a hand on my shoulder caressing it softly. I tried hard to control but at last, I broke down. I hugged aunty and cried on her shoulder. This orphanage was the last reminder of my parent's and especially of my brother. A brother that I lost because of my mistake.

"I-i promised myself to save t-this orphanage this was the last happiness (sob) o-of my brother. B-but (sob) I f-failed. I failed aunty." I cried harder on her shoulder. I also felt her crying and hugging me tightly.

"You did your best angel. You did whatever you were capable of. Don't be disappointed. Just accept it as God's will. Stop crying my angel. Everything will be alright." She said trying to comfort me but the feeling of disappointment and sorrow didn't let me stop instead made me cry even harder.

3 years ago Luna lost her parents in a car accident. She was in a deep daze. Because of what happened to her brother she just couldn't bring herself to accept that she lost her family and she became an orphan. After a month she came to know about the orphanage.

There was a will of her brother which said that this orphanage was his only important property and he transferred it to Luna's name. Luna cherished the orphanage as her own house.

When she came to know about the debt that her parents took. She was in a deep rage. Even if they took a debt they shouldn't have put her brother's orphanage in danger.

But then she came to know that her parents took a loan for an orphan boy who had a very serious illness and his operation cost was 7 million. Her parents took 5 million as a loan and put their own savings of 2 million for that boy's operation and the operation was successful.

But before they could start to collect money for payback. God took their lives. Luna decided to take the charge of the payment of this debt and she did. She worked like a sleepless ghost for 3 years but she was only able to pay 1 million.

She never did anything that was wrong to her. She worked and worked but wasn't able to collect full amount. And now it seems to be impossible that this orphanage gonna be saved because this time she has a feeling that no one can save her brother's last property.

Not even her.

Meanwhile
Dylan Pov

"Here is the information that you asked for Dylan." I grabbed the information and read everything. But one thing caught my eye.

Yes.

That's what I needed to know.

Well well how you gonna run away from me now princess.

"Well done. You did a great job" He rolled his eyes and sat in front of me.

"Don't be dude. You know I love you" I made a disgusted face and he smiled sheepishly as he succeeded in annoying me.

"Mark you can leave now. I am busy" He smiles But soon his expressions changed into serious one.

"Answer me about one thing Dylan." When he said my name it was confirmed that it was something important so I gave my all attention to him.

"Why are you asking for this information. You know she seems like a nice girl to me." I instantly let out a scoff. I really thought he was going to say something serious.

"Mark she works in a club. And most importantly what I want to do with her it's none of your business." He sighed. He's the only one in my gang who never argues with me. He stood up. But before he could go he said.

"Don't hurt her Dylan. It is really rare to find someone so honest and hardworking girl without any greed. I just hope you would understand and try to think before you act." With that he left the room. I groaned in frustration.

Why is everyone so concern about her.

She's mine. I can do whatever I want to do with her.

I will show them that she meant nothing to me.

She's just my madness. Madness to have her.

And once I will have her. I am sure to forget her.

Forever.

Some things remain as a secret for others to find out but how ironic his fate was. He found her only secret but ruined his chance to use it rightly.
