Chapter 5

P.V. LUNA HARRISON

Everyone at the club today? 

We should be tiring Leon and not getting drunk. 

I don't care what the deputies will say, I don't care about that. 

Leon dead will solve my problems.

Yeah, I'm wary of Liam's order, but he knows what he does, at least sometimes. 

Devin said he would sort out some things, I agreed and went to the kitchen to disturb Adelaide.

- Hi Adele, how are you? 

– I asked sitting on the chair and leaning my arms on the counter.

- Hi dear, do you want something? 

- She smiled.

- Chocolate Cake? 

– I asked a little doubtfully.

Didn't know I still had it.

- It's for now.

Adelaide placed the cake on the counter and served it to me, Adelaide is just great. 

This woman works wonders in the kitchen. 

There's no way to say no to her food.

- So how are things with the boy Liam?

Adele has been with us for years, so she knows Liam and me very well. 

She always saw everything and never had an opinion on anything. 

She only said something about it if you wanted her opinion. 

I bite my lip, she knows what it's been like these last few years without Liam here and she knows how it affects me.

- I still can't say.

She looked at me and smiled.

- Things will get better.

I nod in agreement. 

I'm not as optimistic as she is. 

I go back to eating my cake. 

My cell phone rang letting me know that a message had arrived.

“I have good news” – Zac.

"OK. 

See you later” – I replied.

I kept talking to Adele about random things, sometimes we burst out laughing remembering the past and with that the time passed. 

I spent the whole afternoon with her as I hadn't done in a while. 

I didn't see the time pass and when I noticed that it was eight o'clock I ran to my room.

I have little time to get ready. 

I took my shower and ended up taking a while. 

I'm sure Liam will complain, but he couldn't shower anyway. 

I wore a short black jumpsuit with a low neckline, a black heel and did a strong makeup to attract attention. 

Are we going to be late? 

Yes, but the important thing is that I look beautiful.

Okay, now I'm ready!

I headed towards the door. 

Wait! 

my phone. 

I was already forgetting my cell phone, I walked to the dresser and nothing. 

It must be in the bathroom I went there and found it over the sink, I went back to the bedroom and the door was opened with some violence.

I stared at Liam.

- Do you want to break down my bedroom door?

Why so much aggression in opening the door? 

He didn't even knock and walked out. 

rude.

- There is...

He was staring at me with his mouth open. 

This guy can't see a beautiful woman. 

stops thinking with his head down Liam. 

I revealed my eyes.

- Let's go, Liam - I said leaving my room.

P.V. 

Liam Frey

Why do women always have to take so long to get ready? 

My God. 

Okay, sometimes I take longer, it's because of my hair and I do have that it's always beautiful. 

We were already late, I'm not always punctual, and I'm very nervous. 

Still about my relationship with Luna. 

Never felt this before. 

All of this is driving me crazy and I've been that way ever since she avoided me.

I always had everything I wanted.

Why fall in love? 

And just for Luna? 

This is very difficult, especially when you decide to change. 

Luna is very stubborn and stubborn. 

I am angry with her, but this woman has a high control that scares me. 

I hope I'm not on her blacklist.

If I am, I better give up.

On the way to the club we went in silence. 

Luna was as beautiful as ever. 

These 3 years only improved what was already good. 

Luna draws attention anywhere and with that cleavage she would draw even more. 

No need for the cleavage, they'll be staring at her like I'm doing.

- Liam, do you want to tell me something?

Hmm?

- No. 

Why?

- You're looking at me all the time.

- I'm just admiring the view - I couldn't help but smile.

She rolled her eyes making me laugh. 

I already expected that.

[...]

We arrived at the nightclub and it was packed, for sure I could get some good money today. 

Of course my girls at the nightclub didn't look bad, they knew how to dance like no one else. 

They just dance and nothing else. 

I put my arm around Luna bringing her closer to me, she didn't say anything. 

In the back of the nightclub I could already see some deputies I guided her there.

- I do not believe! 

So it's true that Liam Frey is back.” Jamie chuckled and stood up to greet me.

I talk to him quickly, but not letting go of Luna. 

They were staring at her and I could see the desire in their eyes even if they tried to deny it. 

I didn't greet them with the same enthusiasm. 

A bunch of egg slobber.

- How nice to see you deputies and senators - I smiled, looking at each one of that table.

Fernando and Maycon were getting elected to be senators.

- So Liam, you already regret putting Luna to take over things - Henry said laughing - I told you that a woman in charge would not work.

Everyone at the table laughed. 

I felt Luna's body tense and before she spoke, I took the lead.

- I regret? 

On the contrary, Luna remains in charge. 

I'm only helping her if she needs it...

- Leon stole a large amount from you, Liam – Jamie interrupted me – How do you intend to pay us in? 

And the police? 

I'm afraid it's not that easy. 

He spat out those challenging words at me.

I knew none of them could be trusted and I couldn't accept having to work for someone much younger than them. 

But what if I'm a badass and they're shits that don't think for themselves?

- Seems like you guys forget how I get to where I am – I stared at Jamie – About paying you guys? 

I think you forgot that I'm also in charge of New York...

- Liam, Liam takes this bitch out of charge and everything is solved - Henry said.

I hate it when they interrupt me and two is too much.

I'm the fucking boss here and if I was already getting stressed now my blood boiled. 

I picked up the champagne bottle and knocked it over the edge of the table causing it to break and pointed the broken part towards Henry who was staring at me with wide eyes. 

Luna took a step back and I approached Henry.

- No. 

Call. 

So. 

- I spoke slowly - Nothing has changed in the plan and I think it's good that everyone respects Luna. 

– I looked around the table seeing everyone nod – I will recover what was stolen and Leon will pay for messing with my girl. 

- I said softly, but enough for everyone to hear.

The music was loud, but everyone at the table could hear me and the others in the club weren't paying attention to us. 

Before I got up fully I made a small cut with the champagne bottle on Henry's neck.

- For you to remember me - I give my best smile. 

– Now if you'll excuse me.

I took Luna's hand and we walked away from them. 

We passed almost squeezing between people, I squeezed Luna's hand hard, so we wouldn't get lost. 

My intention is to be alone with her. 

So I headed to my office. 

Without letting go of Luna's hand at any time. 

She followed me without question. 

Fortunately. 

A sign that I'm not on her blacklist or that close.

- Why the office? 

– She asks as soon as we enter.

- It's better for us to talk.

I lean on the table, looking at her. 

The sound of the nightclub didn't bother us that much and we didn't need to scream to hear each other. 

Luna bit her lip and approached me not as much as I wanted.

- I think thanks...

"You don't have to," she interrupted. 

“But it's not over yet.

She agreed.

- About that I talked to Zac this afternoon and he told me he has good news.

And did she have to talk about him now? 

I was uncomfortable at the mention of his name, if I wasn't nervous before, now I sure am. 

Zac's odds are higher than mine. 

I'm not sure how things work between them, but it's pretty obvious to her that she continues to see him. 

I wanted to give something I bought to Luna, but fear is already gripping me. 

That it! 

I'm Liam Frey!

- When are you going to talk to him?

- Shortly.

Shit!

- Then I'll be quick. 

- Enough of the bullshit.

She looked at me without understanding. 

I moved away from the table, shortening the space between us. 

I grabbed her arm and turned her so that Luna had her back to me. 

Which made her even more confused.

- Liam...

I didn't say anything, I just took a string from my pocket that had the letter L on the pendant and put it on. 

The intention is to be my name, but as we have the same letter she could say it's her name. 

As long as she uses it, I'll be very happy.

- I know it's cliché and we're not together either, but I want to try, you know? 

You can tell anyone who asks that you bought it because of her name. 

But I would love for you to use it and for you to somehow think of me... If that's possible.

Fuck, I'm so nervous.

She kept her back to me, holding the pendant. 

I hope she liked it. 

It wasn't anything over the top with her intention to wear it on a daily basis. 

I heard her cell phone beeping and it snapped her out of her thoughts. 

I couldn't help but stare... Damn it was Zac! 

I get out from behind her and I open the door to my office.

- Go there. 

I've taken up too much of your time.

- Liam...

- It's all right. 

I'm going back to the mansion. 

I need to get some rest. 

I gave a half smile.

Luna nodded and lowered her gaze. 

I wait for her to say something, but Luna doesn't say anything and she leaves. 

Luna could have stayed, but she chose to go.

I think I really lost my girl.
