Luna's POV

I was still in shock at what had just happened and I didn't recognise anything that was happening around me.

When I did decide to snap back to reality, I saw other wounded bodies on the floor. I just silently hoped that they weren't dead but my mind lingered on the one certain person that was for sure dead.

Lucas.

The man that was just killed before my eyes, cold bloodedly by none other than Sin Grey.

"Gail?" A voice said, making me turn back and look to it's owner.

Sin looked at me before speaking.

"Are you hurt." He asked and I didn't answer, I couldn't answer. I was too taken aback to.

"Y..Yo...You killed him Sin." I said breathing loudly.

"You fucking killed a man Grey." I said as I pulled his arm and faced him.

"You..you..-" He didn't seem fazed at my words, there was no emotion in his eyes. No fear, no remorse and definitely no guilt.

It was as if this wasn't new to him.

That's when I remembered how a case file we found in his room confirmed that he'd killed his father and if anything, what happened just now only made that story even more believable.

I gulped.

He was holding my gaze sternly as I spoke and he didn't say anything.

"Why are you just looking at me dammit, somebody just died in your fucking hands and you're not affected at all." I practically half yelled at him, gripping his arms tighter.

He didn't reply, he instead harshly ripped his arm out of my grip.

Sin then reached for his phone and made a call.

"Get in here right now." He blankly said to whoever was on the other side."

Dropping the call he tucked his phone back into his pocket and within a few moments Sin's driver, the one who's drove us here walked in and went to his side.

I was getting irritated at how he was ignoring me after what I just saw him do. My chest was burning up.

"Take her to the car." Sin strictly told the driver as he signalled to me.

"Yes Sir." With that the driver came to me and requested I come with him.

Putting up a protest wasn't in mind right now as I was partially exhausted of today's events. Though one thing was for sure, I wasn't gonna let what had just happened rest easy.

As I walked towards the door, I stopped for a moment as I saw Sin in conversation with a man who was dressed in police uniform, clearly he was a cop.

I thought that maybe he wouldn't want to be around the police after practically shooting a man but the way it seemed, it was like he knew the cop because he didn't even look scared but then again he's Sin Grey.

A quick Tish of anxiety went through me as I remembered that the cops had been to the penthouse before whilst undergoing the investigation of me and Stacey's missing case.

My nerves acted up as I thought that maybe that's what he was talking about with Sin. Though the cop that was talking to Sin was not the ones that came to the penthouse, he was a different cop.

Turning around, I proceeded on my way back to the car.
As the driver opened the door for me, I slipped in the SUV that we'd arrived in before he closed the door and went front.

It took a few minutes before Sin finally left the building. In those few minutes, I tried to digest everything that just happened.

I faced to the window on my right and saw Sin exit the building and paramedics enter and only then did I notice the ambulance that we're parked here outside.

I was glad that the medics were here because monsters of the people in that room needed medical attention urgently.

As Sin walked towards the car he came to a stop. I don't really know why but he the turned around and walked back towards the entrance of the Manor.
That's when I saw the woman, Aisha. I assumed that she'd called
for him, which was what caused him to stop and walk back.

The two started a conversation, I could see but unfortunately I couldn't hear.
Though I did pick up on the how Aisha would laugh every now and then. Her flirty demeanor was what ticked me off as she'd also run her hand down Sin's arm from time to time.

Honestly at this point I just wanted to leave.

As I turned my head from what I was seeing, I quickly brought it back as I saw Aisha lean in closer to Sin, she leaned in to his eye and I could see her whisper something to him before giving his flight peck on the cheek. She then leaned back and walked away but I didn't miss the stare the Sin had on her as she walked off.

I was beyond repulsed right now as I watched him walk towards the car once again.
He opened the door and entered, I had long averted my eyes from his direction by the time he sat down and closed the car door.

He then told the driver to start the car and bring up the divider.
Sin's driver did just that and we drove out of the Manor's driveway.

The silence in the car for the past minute was deafening.
Not only that but the tension was also at it's peek.

The annoyance that I felt at how the man sitting beside me could do anything and still manage to act like nothing happened.
After everything he did today he still remained unfazed and I hated it.

That's when I decided to break the silence.

"Did you fuck her?" I said firmly as I stared out the car window.

"Excuse me?" He said, still keeping a calm demeanor.

"I said did you have sex with her!?" I practically yelled this time as I looked at him but he still wasn't facing me.

"Did you have sex with Aisha? Huh? Answer me!?" I proceeded to speak as I grabbed his arm as a way to get him to look at me.

He, just like last time removed my hands from his arm. He did so while giving me cold look.

As I gathered myself, I then realized that there I was wasting my energy because he certainly didn't need to say anything. Though his silence spoke it all out very clearly.

I then got back to my previous formation and looked out the window again as I could feel my cheest hurt.

"Are you done?" Sin asked and I could feel the coldness of his tone.

"You did." I told him referring to my previous question, only this time I didn't yell.

"That's none of your concern." He blankly said.

"It actually is when you leave me alone at a party just to run off with her." I said.

"I had business to attend to like I told you before."

"No you can't switch this Grey. What was was so hard in you telling me that you had business?"

"The whole event was for a meeting and you knew that the day you agreed to it." He replied with not much interest in this topic.

I kept quiet and didn't reply. I decided to just drop the topic because even though he didn't say anything I knew the truth.

The driver went on quiet for some time before Sin's phone rang.

"Talk to me." He said picking it up.

"Okay, keep me informed." Sin then put his phone back in his pocket.

I was exhausted at this point and I decided to entertain my self by running my hands against the fabric of Sin's suit jacket, which rested on my shoulders.
As I felt it I remembered the sweet gesture he made by giving it to me earlier but now he was just cold. Another reminder of how quick his demeanor can change.

The silence in the car only clouded my mind with thoughts and this so called distraction that I was doing didn't help.

I could feel Sin watching me intently as I then decided to play with the button of suit jacket as a stress reliever.
He then sighed before he spoke.

"What you saw earlier I need—"

"Me to not tell a soul." I said, completing his sentence.

He didn't reply but he instead kept quiet as he knew that I understood.

"He didn't need to die Grey." I said speaking up again only this time I turned my head and met his gaze.

"Well unfortunately he already is." He stated blankly.

I was shocked.

"So you're not the least bothered that you took a life?" I asked him.

"Would have rather he kill you?" He asked. Looking me dead in the eye.

No.

Though I wasn't gonna say that out loud so I didn't.

"Thought so." He commented.

As I was quiet memories filled my head once again.
My parents, my brother and every other childhood memory I had hoped to never remember but I did today.

The thought of me almost dying the same way that my parents had died was what had triggered them.
If that wasn't enough I just saw a man die because of me and I didn't know how to feel about that.

"He was somebody's son Sin and now he's gone." I told him.

"You're also somebody's daughter." He plainly said.

That's when I realized that if I had died tonight, nobody would care. Nobody would give a shit because in reality I am alone and maybe I'd tried to bury that fact by working for a family that would probably kill me itself if it found out my real motive.

You're also somebody's daughter.

His words played in my head as if haunting me. I could feel a lump in my throat and my chest tightened.

"No you're wrong, I'm not anybody to anyone." I said and I could feel my voice crack at the end.

"Meaning?" Sin asked and his tone sounded confused and I knew he heard the crack in my voice.

What I'd just said to Sin registered and I was at a turmoil. On what I was gonna tell him now because if I told him about my parents, it would require me to tell my whole truth.

"I asked you a question Gail!?" Sin said and his voice was becoming rough.

I felt the car get stuffy and I was feeling suffocated.

"Stop the car." I said.

"Answer me." He said once again.

"Stop the car now or I swear I'm gonna jump out." I told him in breaths as I could feel the tears build up.

Sin then slighty banged the divider, alerting the driver and he brought it down an inch.

"Yes sir?" The driver answered.

"Stop the car." Sin said in an authoritive voice.

Not a second after, the car came to a halt.

Sin's POV

"Stop the car." I said to the driver upfront.

Less then a second later the car stopped and before I could fathom anything else, Gail got out of the car.

Right after her, I exited the car. We were on the side of a road that wasn't as busy and I assumed it was because it was late. The breeze was a bit chilli since it was dark out. I walked to the other side if the car but before my eyes could even find Gail, a loud scream of agony was heard and I knew it came from her because not a moment later my eyes were on her.

The scream wasn't one of fear or terror, help or any of the sort. The scream that Gail had just let out was a screamed the sounded like it was suppressed for a very long time, a scream that needed to be released and had now finally got it's justice.

She stood there with her hands gripping the steel bars that formed a barrier on the side of the road.
Below the road was nothing but water, which explained the echo that followed Gail's scream.

"Are you done? Can we leave or are you gonna answer my question now?" I asked as I walked towards her.

She didn't care to answer me.

"I don't have time for this." I stated in a warning tone as I  walked to her, grabbed her arm and sounds her so that she was facing me.

What I saw at that moment made me wish that I hadn't faced her.
She was a crying mess. Her face was beginning to swell and tears were freely running down her cheeks but what hurt me was what I saw in her eyes.

Pain.

Pain was what I saw in her eyes and it struck a nerve. I had never seen her like this before and that itself had me shaken up a bit.
What I felt when I looked into her eyes, was different from everything else that I'd felt in her presence. It felt like a deep cut somewhere in my chest. It was a pain that I couldn't tolerate.

I knew she saw that I had registered what she was feeling and her next move, didn't take me by surprise.

"Let go of me!" She exclaimed as she removed her arm from my grip.

When she did, she broke eye contact with me and faced her back to me.

The words that came out of my mouth next we're laced with nothing but pure concern. Something I never thought I'd ever admit to feeling out loud.

"Gail, what's wrong?" I asked her.

"Really? So now you play the caring card?" She said still not facing me.

"Yes, I will if that makes you tell me what's wrong." I told her.

"You really wanna know? Do you?" She asked me and I could hear the croak of her voice.

"Yes I do." Even I was surprised to hear myself say that. I don't know what this woman was doing to me but right now after seeing her in this condition, I needed to know the reason behind it.

She then walked a bit further from me. Clearly it was getting cold because the tugged at my suit jacket, that she was wearing.

I took a step to her.

"I can't take it anymore." She said in tears.

"What can't you take any more?"

"Being alone Sin. I have no one in my life, there's no one but me. The lonelyness was something I had learned to live with but it seems the universe is fucking keen on reminding me about how no one cares for me in this world." She spoke.

"I've tried so hard." She said as she finally turned and faced me, she looked me dead in the eyes.

"Tried my best to forget everything in hopes of me healing but today that would was awoken without it being given any time to heal. Today made realise one thing that ways heavy on my heart." She said with tears still freely running down her face and at the moment I couldn't do anything about it.

She then stopped and turned away from me before speaking.

"It made me realize that if I'd died today, not a single person would care." She said as her voice began cracking.

Her sobbing wasn't something that sat well with me, it made me angry for a reason that I still couldn't decipher.

"Gail, they can't possibly not care." I said as I tried to process what she was telling me.

"The don't Grey, they don't because they're all gone." She said as she turned back to me.

"My parents, the only family I had, they're gone." She cried out.

"They're dead Grey! They're never coming back!" She screamed while beginning to sob uncontrollably.

When she said that I don't know how but I could feel it, I could feel her pain and I wanted to take it away. I couldn't tolerate serving her like this.

"I'm—"

"Why me? Huh? Why did this chose to happen to me? If my parents were alive, I wouldn't be living the half the hell that I'm living right now."

I couldn't find the words to say as she spoke. She was a teary mess and I hated the fact that there was nothing that I could say to make her feel better.

"I should've just died the day death came knocking on my doorstep. Or I just should've died today since it was almost inevitable." She said. Not knowing how strongly I disagreed with her statement.

"I should've died, I should've died Sin! You should've let me die!" She screamed whilst in tears as she began banging my chest.

I could feel that along with her crying there was some anger and as she continued to hit my chest, I didn't do anything. I just let her.
The slight pain that I felt as she punched me was something that I could tolerate if it was what she needed, if it was helpful to her right now.

She eventually tired out and when she did, she layed her head against my chest. The contact made my body heat up.

"It should've been me." She said as I could feel my shirt get wet from her tears.

My next movements were a bit  hesitant.
I placed my arms around her, one on her back and another at the back of her head as I embraced her.

I knew that what I did had caught her off guard as her body tensed up at my touch but within a few seconds I could feel her ease up.

Having her in my arms gave me a feeling that I'd never felt before.

If only she knew how wrong she was. She didn't deserve to die. Even if she did, I wouldn't let her.
