Roman’s POV Five times, five times I’ve called Luna’s phone and each time she didn’t answer. I know she’s pissed with me and probably never wants to speak to me again but I wish she’d answer the damn phone. I decide to call Santos instead, if he’s still in the UK there’s a chance him and Carrie are with Luna. If I know anything about Luna it’s how much she values her friendship with Carrie and there’s no way in this world Luna wouldn’t be at that airport to see her friend off. I just hope they are still there. “Answer the damn phone” I say to myself Finally I hear Santos’ voice “Roman, everything OK?” “Please tell me you’re with Luna” “No, Carrie and I are about to board the plane, Luna left about fifteen minutes ago” “SHIT…Wait, where the fuck is Vinnie?” “Vinnie?” “Santos, where the fuck is your brother?” “Roman, Vinnie decided to stay in the UK for a few days…with Luna” I could feel the heat racing through my veins, my blood boiling with rage. No way in hell am I going t
Roman’s POV “Okay, I want to know where she’s going and who she is with. Keep me updated” I ended the call to Antonio, he’s one of two men I have watching Luna. He called to update me on Luna’s visit from the police and explained not long after she was packing her car, leaving the home she shared with Carrie. I have no idea where she is going but I’ll make damn sure she is safe. I decide to go home and rest before my meeting with Marco tonight. Before Antonio called, Marco rang to inform me of a possible breakthrough regarding his father’s murder. He has some information on a possible connection to Ricky, he didn’t give any further information other than a time and place for our meeting. Hopefully we can figure out who Ricky is working with, catch that bastard then end this shit once and for all. I ring Santos and tell him to meet me at a spot called Luciano’s at midnight. It’s a small restaurant owned by Marco’s sister. I know Santos will be tired after travelling all day and wo
Luna’s POVI’d been at my parents house for almost a week I was due to fly out to New York tomorrow, my book signing had been pushed forward by the publishing firm so I decided to head into town to get a few essentials.There was traffic in every direction, it was no surprise, Friday’s are mayhem with everyone finishing work for the weekend although I still couldn’t shake the feeling I was being followed.I’d managed to get everything I needed from town and headed back to my car. I had parked in an underground car park, it was quiet with not many cars around, that’s why I liked this spot, it was easy enough to get parked.I popped open the boot of the car and placed my bags down, after closing the boot I suddenly felt a presence behind me. I spun round and was met with a man wearing a balaclava, holding a gun to my head. he grabbed my arm and began to pull me in his direction.“Please stop” I pleaded“Shut the fuck up and do as your told or I’ll shoot you right now” he replied in an A
Luna’s POVI barely slept a wink last night, each time I closed my eyes I could see someone about to kidnap me. I woke this morning feeling completely drained.My nerves began taking over my body, thoughts taking over my brain. How would I react to seeing Roman again, a part of me wanted to see him while another part of me wanted to forget he ever existed. I guess that’s a little hard to do now that I’m carrying his child. OMG I am carrying Roman’s child, I am pregnant!I placed my hands on my head in frustration, what do I do now? Do I tell him about the baby, does he even deserve a chance to be a father to our child or would he run away once again.“Are you ready sweetheart” My father called, pulling me from my thoughts.“I’m ready dad”My parents gave me a ride to the airport, my mum was excited for my trip to New York. She kept telling me to take plenty of photos, my dad advised me on what sights to visit, they loved the big apple, the two of them have visited New York a couple of
Luna’s POVThe guest room in this place was incredible, I’m certain it’s at least 3 times bigger than my bedroom back at home. The room was filled with colours of cream and gold, a bed big enough to fit a whole family of five. Carrie and Sadie had left me around ten minutes ago to prepare a light lunch, Carrie knew my appetite had been a little restricted lately due to me feeling ill, if only she knew the real reason.I walked towards the window and opened the doors which led to a small but beautiful terrace overlooking the huge swimming pool. The guest room was directly above the main lounge area which would explain why I could hear voices coming from that direction, the voices of Roman and Santos.I’m not sure if they were aware that I could hear them from up here, turns out I could hear every word, a door or window from the main lounge must be open.“Why don’t you go speak to her now, get it out the way. What’s the worst that could happen.” Santos spoke.“No…I need to give her time
Luna’s POVI couldn’t help but stare as Roman walked by, not even taking a glance at me. Did he not care that I was stood right here with Vincenzo? I guess a part of me wanted Roman to be jealous, I wanted to see he still cared.Vincenzo pulled me from my thoughts when he took my hand, gently pulling me to follow him.“Where are we going” I asked as he began walking towards the far end of the garden“I want to show you something” He replied, smiling down at meThe garden was huge, it appeared to go on forever. We finally stopped in front of a huge cherry blossom tree, beside it was a white French style bench containing a plaque.I let go of Vincenzo’s hand and walked towards the bench ‘In loving memory of a dear mother, Cheryl Callaso’“Cheryl was my mother, her family and friends called her Cherry. Santos and I had the same bench hand crafted, I also have a similar tree buried in my garden. Her ashes are buried within the roots of the trees, when they bloom we feel her presence. We o
Luna’s POV Walking to my car I sighed looking at my watch, realising once again I’ve worked over my hours due to being short staffed. Why did I think it was a good idea to become a nurse. 29 year old Luna has always had a caring nature and found helping people gave her satisfaction, however lately she has become tired and lost all her passion for being a nurse. Her social life is non-existent, her days are filled with working and her relationship with her partner Ethan, well toxic would be the perfect word for that. Driving home I knew what would be instore for me once I walk through the door, I parked up in the driveway which was always well lit. My home was not the biggest on the street but it was elegant with a beautiful lawn and well-presented rose bushes set out bordering the lawn, Roses have always been my favourite flowers. I grabbed my bag from the passenger seat and got out of the car, I quietly unlocked the door silently praying Ethan was asleep. The house was in darkn
Luna’s POV It’s been seven weeks since I finally plucked up the courage to leave, seven weeks after the horrifying attack I faced at the hands of that monster. I can’t even bring myself to say his name, everything about him makes my skin crawl. Seven weeks ago I was subjected to the most brutal attack which left me traumatised, waking up every night due to constant nightmares and reminders of what I had faced that night, yet somehow that same night I saw the light. After the monster finished with me, he went straight to bed and slept like a baby as if nothing had happened. While he slept I forced myself up, grabbed my car keys and left with no hesitation. Of course I was a mess, my face was bruised and swollen, I was covered in blood and the most intimate part of me had been completely violated which left me struggling to walk while causing me pain. Unfortunately due to me moving over 200 miles from home when I got my nursing degree, I don’t have many people I can turn to for help.
