Billionaire's Madness | ✔️

Shattered

Luna slowly opened her eyes but shut them right away hissing, feeling her body aching uncontrollably. Her eyes started to get teary when reality hit her hard.

She felt a huge lump in her throat. She gulped and took a deep breath controlling her tears. She finally opened her eyes and met with a muscular arm resting around her waist. His face was buried in her neck.

That would have been so romantic and so beautiful sight for her only if the person was her love. Or someone to whom she gave her heart but he wasn't her love not even considered in her liking. He's nothing to her.

He's only her tormentor. Destroyer of her dignity nothing else.

She carefully removed his hand. He groaned a little but then to her luck, he turned to the other side leaving her body completely. She sighed in relief and sat upon the bed.

She bit her lip controlling her gasps because of the intense feeling of pain in her body. She held a side table and stood up. Without making any sound she changed her clothes in those that she wore when she came here.

She settled the dress given by Dylan on the chair with care. Her eyes got the sight of ticking clock.

3 am. Indeed it was too late for her but if she stayed here even for a minute she will die from suffocation. His peacefully sleeping figure. His naked back suffocates her. She wanted to run away from here. Far away from this nightmare.

But little did she know this was just the start of her nightmare.

She carefully unlocked the door and without making any noise she went out of the room. Her whole body was aching. But not as much as her heart.

It was still hard for her to accept the cruel reality. The reality of giving her dignity away. The only cherished thing that she had left. But then again a sense of relief crossed her mind.

Her brother's last memory. Her orphanage was still there.

"Here." She handed an envelope to Max. He sighed before taking the envelope.

"Think again Ms. Michael. No need for this." Max tried his best to convince her but she just gave him a small smile. She clenched the other envelope in her hand and started to walk more like limping.

She slowly made her way to go outside of this suffocating house. But Max's words stopped her in the track.

"Wait. Let me drive you back. Rain is pouring heavily outside it's not safe."

"I will be fine Mr. Maxwell. I want to walk. Goodbye." With that she walked outside the house. Max sighed heavily clenching the envelope in his hands.

He can see how much a girl was shattered. Destroyed and helpless. But he couldn't do anything. Nothing. She reminds him of someone. Someone that he lost a long time ago. The first time when he gathered her information on Dylan's order.

He had an urge to protect her. To comfort her. She reminds him so much of her. He so wanted to protect her from Dylan but he was too helpless to go against Dylan.

But now he had made his mind. No matter what he lost or what happened he wouldn't break the promise he made with her. He wouldn't let her down. He will definitely fulfill the favor that she asked from him.

Luna was walking on the empty road. The only sound of heavy rain could be heard. Thunder and lightning making the dark streets scarier. But for her, nothing remains more scary and hurtful than the thing that happened to her last night.
