WARZONE

Chapter 56

(Unedited)

Luna's POV

The ride back to the penthouse was dead silent. I wasn't complaining because after all the sobbing I'd done, I really appreciated the silence.
Sin hadn't said nothing to me since and I was relieved that he didn't bring up the conversation.

As I sat quietly, I felt really stupid. Stupid that I couldn't control my emotions and ended  up telling Sin about my past.
I knew that the information that I told him wouldn't draw any type of suspicion but I hated it because for those few minutes, I was vulnerable to him.

As I stared out of the window at the bright lights from the Manhattan buildings, my mind drifted to there thoughts of tonight.

Three.

Three, that was the number of different times that I could have died today and just thinking about it shook me to the core. Firstly, I could've died from  a bullet that was shot from one of CK's bodyguards. Secondly, I could've fell to my death from the Manor's rooftop. Lastly, I could've been killed by Lucas, the man Sin had killed. That too in order to save me.

I inwardly panicked as I thought of how I escaped death, three times today and if I was being honest to myself, Sin was the reason I escaped each time. Thoughts of what would of happened if he wasn't there didn't run far from my mind as I knew very well that I would've met my fate without him.
Parts of me wondered why he saved me because after all, I wasn't anybody to him. That was something that he himself made very clear but what he pulled today really left a lot of questions in my head.

Let's not forget his confession at the balcony.

I realized that it wasn't just about the sex, it was more than that.

It was way more because I fucking care about you!!

The words recited in a circle all over my head.

If I told you that those words of his had me delighted in any kind of way I'd be lying because now he had my emotions jumbled up. Mostly because I didn't know whether he meant what he said or he'd just said it as a way to shut me up.

I took a breath as I pushed those thoughts to the back of my head.

With that a replay of what CK's bodyguard told me before he fired, played in my head.

The boss has a message for you.

That's what the man said before he pulled the trigger.

It was clear that CK had sent for me to be shot but the question was why.

After a few minutes of that question roaming my head, I came to a conclusion and it didn't sit well with me. Which was why I decided to not accept it until I asked Tyrone about it.

Just then, the car came to a stop.

The slight tap on the divider from the driver was all I needed to register that we'd arrived at the penthouse.

. . . .

I was currently in Tyrone's room pacing back and forth as my head was enveloped by several thoughts.
The room was empty so I could hear my own pacing as I waited for Ty to enter.

I had texted him to come to his room, a few minutes after I had arrived since his shift wasn't over until 21:00 and it was currently 20:30.

The opening of the door stopped me from my pacing and all my attention shifted on to Tyrone as he entered the room and closed the door behind him.

"So you're back?" He asked as he did a quick sweep of me with his eyes. By that I meant he looked me up and down as if checking if I was in one piece.
