Luna's POV

""I forgot how often you spill your tears." Said a voice I'd known way too well.

Udjusting my composure, I turned around and came face to with the owner of the voice who was leaning against the frame of the door to the balcony.

"You." I said in a normal voice.

"Yes me lil' sis, weren't you wondering where you your brother had disappeared to these past few days?" He asked with a smile playing on his lips.

"I couldn't care less." I said looking Travis straight in the eye. I knew that my action ticked him off.

"Oh but you do." He said as he began approaching me. When he stood infront of me I knew that he was annoyed at my sudden bravery towards him but he kept a sturdy face even though I could see that anger paying in his eyes.

"You know why you do?" He said again.

"Why?" I asked still looking into his eyes.

"Because I know something about you that you thought I didn't." He said with a huge menacing grin.

As he said that a lot of thoughts gathered on my mind on what exactly he was talking, on what exactly he had found out.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I said as I averted my gaze from him.

My brain told me that I'd made a wrong move because if he wasn't sure before, now he was positive that I had something to hide.

"Are you sure you don't." He said as he let out a chuckle.

I fully turned around and reclaimed my previous position in the balcony facing the beautiful view as I felt Travis coming to stand next to me.

"Luna I know, or should I say that I heard that the police where here." He started.

"So?"

"Don't try to act smart here. Now shut up an let me finish talking." He said with irritation towards the fact that I had interrupted him.

My silence was a signal of go for him as he carried on.

"The NYPD came here looking for one of two girls that went missing just a few months ago. They came here because they had a source that told them that there was a girl who looked exactly like the one of those missing girls." He said.

As I took in what Travis just told my mind only wondered who exactly was it that informed him almost word by word about the visit from the police.

"Unfortunately although you and that girl shared many similarities, you also shared some differences. You only got off the hook because of that and your ID."

Man he was informed but I didn't know where he was going with this.

"Where are you going with this Travis?" I asked.

"That's not the question that you should be asking here." He said and I could feel he said as if he was knew something that I didn't.

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

"The question here is, who exactly was the lieutenant's source?" He said and I could sense a grin forming from him.

It all made sense when it finally clicked in my head. The reason behind his not being around recently. Why he knew bit by bit about this.

"You." I said in anger as I faced him.

"I guess you do have some brain in that head of yours." He said as he he came face to face with me and the evil smirk of his was on his lips.

"How did you find out?"

"That's not for you to know, the important thing here is that I'm on to you." He said with a determined face.

"Do you actually think that scares me?" I asked him.

"I know for a fact that it does. See you may have fooled the cops with your fake green eyes and fake ID but not me." He said.

"What do you want from me Travis? Huh?!" I said in a yell as I didn't know why my own brother hated me so goddamn much.

"From you nothing but what I want for you is DESTRUCTION." He said menacingly.

"I'm going to expose the crappy sixteen year old that you are and watch you get defamed, well after that I'll let the Grey's decide what they do to you."

"What do the Grey's have to do with this."

"I know for a fact that it costs money to get a pair of contact lenses and a believably fake ID. That's money that you don't have, meaning somebody is paying you to do this." He said.

"You have no idea what you're talking about." I said in a laugh of disbelief.

"Oh I do, you just wait till the Grey's find out out that your not a twenty three year old house maid but a sixteen year old spy. Trust me when I say you made a big mistake by messing with them because if you though I was scary, then you have no idea what these people do to snitches like you." He spat.

"Enjoy your day lil sis." He said with a disgusting smirk as he walked out of the balcony and into the penthouse in pure satisfaction.

"Damn you!" I yelled behind him and I heard him chuckle as he disappeared into the house.

I felt like all the walls were caving in on me after Travis's confession to me.
I was in panic, fear and all other emotions I couldn't make out right now.

Damnit, how couldn't I predict the fact that Travis was onto me. All this time u thought he'd finally left me alone but he knew he was devising another way to destroy me.

I felt like a peace of nothing. I remember the time I fist started agreed to this job. I didn't think at all that I would run into all these problems, I never expected to collide with my past the way I did. I though it would be simple, in and out but boy was I wrong.

Why Luna? Fucking why? Why did you do this to yourself, I mean your life was trash but at least your problems weren't as terrifying as these ones.

My inner voice kept telling me that and honesty I didn't know why I did it, to be honest the threat that CK said to me about killing me scared me but it wasn't what made me agree.

I saw a shadow move across the doorway to the balcony. For a moment I though somebody had heard me and Travis's conversation so I went and checked. To my surprise there was nothing there but in my head I swore I had seen someone.

Walking back inside as it was getting cold, I closed the balcony's glass door.
On my step to go and prep dinner I bumped into Ms Carina.

"I'm so sorry ma'am..I"

"Don't you watch where you're going!" She exclaimed but you could see that she was thinking about something that's why she didn't notice that it was me who she had bumped into.

"It's you, of course who else could it be." She said with a disgusted face as she rolled her eyes after looking up at me.

"Your slutty and clumsy, honestly this is getting sickening." She said.

"Oh I'm sorry if I disgust you ma'am." I said with more a sassy tone because honestly this woman was staring to get on my nerves.

"Matter of fact you do and trust me if it were up to me you'd have left as in yesterday." She said distastefully.

"Honestly ma'am, I don't know why they hell you hate me so much because I never did anything to you but unfortunately you can't do do anything about it because I don't work for you." I said as I folded my arms.

"Ah, so you've got a sassy mouth too, let me tell you that this is still my house and you still work here so respect is a requirement." She said with a determined face.

"With all due respect Mrs Grey, I was speaking up for myself.".

"It was useless because my thoughts on you are still the same."

"Well that is quite a shame ma'am." I said as I passed by her and went towards the kitchen.

I could sense the annoyance in her from a mile away and that's exactly the reaction I wanted.

Damn, if it wasn't enough that I had Kylie on my ass, now Sin's mom on it too. This was some tangled up bullshit.

Amongst the many thoughts that resided in my head, I found myself remembering earlier when Sin was in his boxing room.
The question that I'd asked him was a random question because I knew that he would point blank ignore me. That's just how he was, most of the time he would be a cold, terrifying man but recently he'd had a some moments of being normal.

Like when we were talking in the kitchen earlier today, the conversation went on normally and I swore that I almost saw a smile form on r the lips.

Back at the boxing room earlier, he was about to tell me something but he then stopped and when I had told him that he was doing it as an escape, that's when he snapped. For that moment I had said what I said because I thought that maybe I'd be able to understand him for once in some way but no it just blew up in my face, more like he just blew up in my face.

Anyone could've sensed that what I said had triggered him in some way or the other, otherwise he wouldn't of lost his cool like that.

Right now I didn't know where my head was at but now I was sure more than ever that I had to find out what exactly Sin and this mom are hiding, even though that fact didn't sit well with me.

Sin's POV

"You know I find it odd that you don't wanna share a room with me." Kylie said as I rolled my eyes while downing a bottle of water.

I had returned to my room and unfortunately for me I had found her sitting here. Hopefully she wouldn't try to bring up a stupid conversation because the way I was pissed right now, I knew I wouldn't answer her politely.

"Sin, you and I are dating and you've already seen me naked so why is it that we gotta sleep in different rooms?" She continued asking but I kept silent.

"I seriously don't-"

"Could you just shut the fuck up Kylie!" I snapped as she was getting on my nerves.

My sudden had seemed to get her off guard as she stood up and approached me.

"Excuse me?!" She said as she came face to face with me.

"I'm not in the mood for your stupid questions." I said.

"Oh I see. Do you wouldn't mind if I tell Daddy about the way you've been treating me since I came here? Huh?" She said as she ayed with a strand of her hair and gave me a grin.

"So now you think I'm scarred of that old geezer." I told her distastefully.

"You maybe not but your mom, she'd hate you for life if she knew that you lost her such a huge deal." She said in a challenging tone.

I brushed away the slight discomfort I felt when she referred to Carina as my 'mom'.

"Because I could make this deal go South for Carina." She said as she looked at me with a smirk of satisfaction.

"Then go." I said blankly as I moved from her and crushed the plastic water bottle in my hand before throwing it away and heading for my alcohol stand.

"W...what?" You could tell she wasn't expecting that answer from me. Her smirk disappeared just as she gave me a look of shock.

"Go ahead and go cry to your father." I said as I downed a glass of scotch.

It was a fact that she and her father needed this deal more than me nor Carina did. Though she'd always approach me with this same topic.

"Kylie, let me give you a word of advice. This game that you're trying to play with your dad, it's not for you so I suggest that you back out before it gets too late."

"What do you mean." She asked.

"Sooner or later you'll get to know." I said as I walked to the door and opened it.

"Now leave." I said with a straight face.

As she closed the door I slammed it shut, more aggressively than needed.

The women of this house are gonna drive me mad.

If it's not Carina first then it would certainly be Kylie, they were literally getting on my nerves now and Kylie picked the wrong time to come here to tell me all this bullshit.
Right now I was pissed, I was angry at Gail's sudden intruding, into my personal life.

It wasn't her place to question me on the reasoning behind the things I do but she did, her question made me uncomfortable but I decided to answer it and that that's what confused me the most because I didn't owe any body explanations to the things I do.

I got naked and stepped into the shower as I turned it on and let the warm water crash into my skin.
My mind was circling through the seriesbof events that had happened in my life for the past couple of months and almost Everytime I think about only one person keeps on coming back to my mind.

Gail.

There was something about her, something that intrigues me. Maybe it's because when I look into those eyes of here's I see a swirl of mystery almost every time. She had a story hidden behind those eye of hers and you could only see it when you pay close attention.

Maybe it was the smoothness of her skin when I felt it against my own, when I finally felt her for the first time, was that the reason I'd become addicted to her, or was it her scent that drives my senses wild whenever I see her.

I've never been one that people could read through easily, My thoughts and emotions we're always musked and I liked it that way.
No one can tell how my demeanor shifts when she entered the room. It was something I didn't notice until recently but I'd be lying if I said I'd haven't noticed it now.

"You did it for relief right, it's a way for you to run isn't it."

Her words were on replay as I placed my hand against the shower wall.

Facing down I let the water run through my hair and down to my face.
Her words, they triggered me so much that they brought back memories that were long dead and buried but her single statement was all it took to resurface them and that angered me, it brought out a side if me that I've been trying to conceal.

The way I talked to her didn't sit well with me, she didn't know that I would've been so defensive about that certain topic. She didn't know anything in fact and a part of me was glad that she wasn't aware of the real me. I don't know why but the other side of me is the side that I didn't want her specifically to know about or see.

I heard my bedroom door click and open.

I listened intently when the footsteps made their way into the bedroom along with the sounds of a moving trolley.

"Sir, I brought your dinner."

Gail.

Call it instinct but I could hear it through the rough sounds of the splashing shower water that she wasn't in the best if spirits, her voice said it all and I knew why.

"Hand me a towel before you go." I told her.

She didn't reply, but I heard her footsteps nearing the bathroom.
She opened the bathroom door and entered.
The shower glass was covered in steam but she still faced the other way as I opened the shower door.

Her hand stretched out to give me the towel but instead of grabbing the towel alone, I pulled her in too and shut the door.

As I had her off guard, she placed her hands on my bare and wet chest on instinct for balance but she slipped a little wich caused me to place my own hands on her waist.

I knew she felt it too, the sparks danced through our bodies like electricity when she placed her hands on my chest.
She then looked up at me as the water began to drench from head to toe.

My gaze caught hers instantly when she looked up.

She was still in shock and at loss for words at my action.

As I observed her completely drenched wet face, I noticed how her hair was still in position as she'd always wore it up with a hair clip.

For that moment of silence that was between us, I decided to remove the the clip with one of my hands.

I was in awe as I watched her hair fall and stick to her face due to it's wetness.
The water droplets slid from her hair to her her face and down to her pink lips that were now plump because of the water.

That one droplet that ran across her lips drove me crazy as I wanted to capture her lips in mine so bad.

As I raised my hand to use my thumb to wipe off the droplet, Gail herself beat me to it as she pulled her bottom lip between her teeth and out again. She didn't do it on purpose but it didn't help but make me want her even more.

"Sin.. I-" She started off as she pointed downwards with her eyes and the looked away.

Realisation hit as I grabbed the already wet towel and tied into around my lower self.

"I...I'm sorry for earlier." She said with a low voice, still not facing me.

I removed the strands of hair that were on her face as I placed my hand on her chin and lifted her head up so she was facing me.

"Why can't you look at me?" I asked. I tried to hide the fact that her avoiding my eyes was affecting me.

She gave me a look, a knowing one as she tried to hold my gaze.

"You're hurt." I said as I let her face chin go.

"No Sin, its okay. I know now where we stand." She said.

"It hurts you though?" I asked her.

"No It...It...."

"Gail, I was harsh on you and-"

"Sin please, you're only making this hard." She said in a voice of separation.

I felt something inside of me hurt as she said that.

With my hands back on her waist again, I pushed against her as she walked backwards to the shower wall.
As she collided with it by her back, I was infront of her and I placed my palms on either sides of her.

She looked on both sides of herself and looked at me when she realised that I had caged her in.

"I just want to ask you one question." I said.

She didn't nod but I knew she was giving me the green signal.

"You feel it too, don't you?" I said.

"Sin please-"

"Do you?" I repeated.

"No, no I don't." She said as she wiped her face with her hand to remove the water from her long think lashes.

Right now was the first time that I'd seen him without makeup. She has a clean face and I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. I had seen many gorgeous faces in my life but her's was one of a kind, it was breathtakingly unique.

"You're lying?" I said as I stared into her eyes

"It's the truth." She said.

She began a fight of whether she should hold her gaze on me. When she finally did, I looked into her eyes knowing very well that she knew the answer to the question that I was gonna ask next.

"If you don't feel anything then why does it hurt you?"
