Prologue
"He can't do this to me, mama!"
Luna cried in her mother's arms, repeating the same words.
She had lost her scholarship after being released from jail, the humiliation and whispers about her being a murderer when she walked pass the hallway from the academic office.
The person she thought most would be on her side never came, she waited but not once did he come see her.
The engagement was off, she didn't understand why she had to go through all that,
Is this all it meant to him?
Even after explaining it was more than just her, more than just him, It was more than just the both of them
How could he be this cruel?
She thought back to the day the police led her away cuffed in his presence the look in his eyes hunted her
Did he think she did it?
It's been weeks but still, wherever she went, the same label followed her, nobody wanted to be associated with her.
Luna was exhausted as she sat on the bench at the park, she had left home that evening after balling her heart out in her mother’s arm_ still tight-lipped about the reason_ to the pharmacy, drug now in hand, a thought crossed her mind.
What if she disappeared?
“The pain will stop, she will be at peace,” she thought, but what ached her the most was if he would regret his decision, would he miss her?
Her hands wrapped around her belle, and she couldn’t bring herself to. She drank the bottle of water instead, standing up with a resolve to hear from him face to face, she didn't care if she had to crawl her way till she met him.
A few steps and she felt dizzy, she slumped and fainted.
A bump jerked her awake as she realized she was in a moving vehicle and her hands were tied,
“Don’t worry Mr Gregson, we’ll make sure to get rid of her” the man driving said.
Luna looked up taking in her surroundings, it was dark. She was scared and confused,
“Did he just say Mr Gregson,” she thought as she tried to wiggle free but she was weak and the rope was bound tight
“Who are you, let me go” Luna shouted using her free legs to hit the door as she struggled
“She’s awake, I told you to tie her up well,” one of the men said in a guttery voice.
“Shut up b***h or you die right here right now” The other man barks with a gun pointed straight at her head
Luna froze as dread washed through her body, the thought of ending her life had crossed her mind but this was a different thing entirely.
Why? Was all she kept asking, Did he hate her that much now?
She got her answer to the question that bothered her earlier, he wouldn’t miss her if she disappeared not when it's what he so desperately wanted. She didn’t know when she began to shout
“Then kill me now”
“Do it”
“Kill me….”
"Shut the f**k up" The man with the gun hit her head and she cried in pain
The one who was driving stopped his partner from hitting her again
"What are you doing?" he barked at his accomplice,turning his face to me then back on the road
"Knocking her out man,might as well kill her now" the other man shouted as he snatched his arm from the drivers hand.
He pulled the glock of his gun aiming but there was a sudden bang and a crash followed, all Luna could hear was a ringing sound in her ear.
“Even in death I will hunt you Conan” was all that crossed her mind before she blacked out.
