THE CURSED LUNA

That fateful evening, I was too busy to suspect that Adrian came back way too early. He came back in less than twenty minutes, out of a possible fifty. I've always known Adrian to be as committed as ever to whatever assignment was given to him to execute. It was as though this one was done on purpose

While something in me was trying to believe Amira really died, another thing was saying a big NO to the entire thing

All along, we both thought Christian will find out about everything and have us most probably killed which was obviously the option he was going to pick unopposed.

All I prayed for in my heart was for the interception not to come from Christian himself. This thought overwhelmed me so much that I had to just summon courage and keep a straight face to draw any suspicions, especially from Chris, he's arguably the most logical person I've known all my life

Myself and Chris has been betrothed since our teenage years, he showered me with all the love I ever wanted and wished for. My father, Lawler Gotham was a long family friend of the Stones

Myself and Chris had met when we met at an interschool science exhibition. We bonded well from the beginning until Amira came into the picture. Chris seemed to have his brain on lock down since she came in. I was no longer appealing to him again. He saw me as a second fiffle which in turn hurt me so much.

He no longer listened to me or took my advices. Worst of all, he made it known to me that he loved Amira and I didn't stand a chance with her. This brought nothing but intense hate for her. Every now and then, I plotted her demise without remorse. The best way to make her leave, die or get lost and leave me with Chris filled my mind. Little did I know that Vivienne was also having the same thoughts too.

"I just wish this girl could leave this pack and never come back, she should just die" Vivienne said, one evening

This was motivated by a sudden change in Chris's character. He was almost no longer listening to his mother which was highly expected due to his arrogant demeanor. He doesn't take anything from anybody.

He made it compulsory for her to eat thrice daily, something that has never happened to any slave. His mother and myself tried to make him understand that she'd just a slave and nothing more. In his words he'd always say, "I own this pack and whatever I say or do stands. No one should dictate for me"

Whenever he makes this statement, he wasn't ready to listen and it only compounded issues.

His mother had tried to talk him out, which proved abortive. She at some point, wondered what must have come over her son. The same thing for me too.

"You know, I've been working on something

for a while now. I don't know how well you'd welcome the idea"

"And what idea is that?" She asked, looking interested to know more. I drew closer after looking around the house to make sure that no one was in sight. I bent over and whispered in her ear what I suggested we do. "That's very thoughtful of you Sheelah, very clever" she said, stretching her legs on the centre table, sipping her wine, bit by bit. She laughed sarcastically,

"Have you called him?" She asked me abruptly. I was surprised she wanted it done so soon and without delay.

"I'd make that call to him immediately" I said, with a sense of fulfilment. The thoughts of the day of the execution filled my mind.

Gammah Adrian has been in the army for a while and as a result, these things are minor for him. He knows hid job and wanted to remember with hang.

"Thank goodness you're here Adrian, thank goodness"

Vivienne said, gesturing him to sit down immediately as they sorted how the plan was going to be concluded.

"So that's it Adrian, exactly the way we want it"

Adrian looked as though he's met a ghost, because he expected nothing as serious as being close to murder. Obviously, he still had the desire to see her end owing to the fact that she's made him suffer at the mercy of Chris in the past, the more reason why he'd be best to carry out such bidding.

"Leave no traces, leave no stains. Endeavor to have everything in check as well"

Little did we know that this was going to cost us even more in the future

I just finished taking my bath, applying my night ointment to my skin, to keep it glowing at least,

Ariana barged into my room, something he never had the guts to even do, he couldn't even near my room door talk more of bargain in.

At once I knew the reason behind his silly behavior. If we had not involved him in such dealings, of course he stood no chance to do what he did.

I watched him come close to me, every step bringing him an inch closer.

He looked at me with lustful eyes, licking his lips in a manner that was infuriating. I watched him in disgust as he muttered gibberish from his mouth.

I couldn't imagine myself laying with an ordinary P. A

He's by far not worth my standard. I was furious

Reality dawned on me that I had gotten myself into. The new enemy now isn't even Amira. It's Adrian!Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

The mistake we made when we executed the first plan was not allowing him wear a mask. That way, it'd have saved us a lot of stress by now.

Adrian has sworn that he's not going down alone, because obviously, Amira will come back to expose the truth this, Adrian will not want to go down alone. He's sworn to take us ahead with him.
