Luna slowly opened her eyes but shut them and hissed feeling her body aching uncontrollably. Her eyes started to get teary when reality hit her hard.

She felt a huge lump in her throat. She gulped and took a deep breath controlling her tears. She finally opened her eyes and met a muscular arm resting around her waist. His face was buried in her neck.

That would have been so romantic and so beautiful morning for her only if the person was her love. Or someone to whom she gave her heart but he wasn't her love not even considered in her liking. He's nothing to her.

He's only her tormentor. Destroyer of her dignity nothing else.

She carefully removed his hand. He groaned a little but then to her luck, he turned to the other side leaving her body completely. She sighed in relief and sat upon the bed.

She bit her lip controlling her gasps because of the intense feeling of pain in her body. She held a side table and stood up. Without making any sound she changed her clothes in those that she wore when she came here.

She settled the dress given by Dylan on the chair with care. Her eyes got the sight of ticking clock.

3 am. Indeed it was too late for her but if she stayed here even for a minute she will die from suffocation. His peacefully sleeping figure. His naked back made her suffocate. She wanted to run away from here. Far away from this nightmare.

But little did she know this is the start of her nightmare..

She carefully unlocked the door and without making any noise she went out of the room. Her full body was aching. But not as much as her heart.

It was still hard for her to accept the cruel reality. The reality of giving her dignity away. The only cherished thing that she had left. But then again a sense of relief crossed her mind.

Her brother's last memory. Her orphanage is still was there.

"Here." She handed an envelope to Max. He sighed before taking the envelope. "Think again Ms. Michael. No need for this." Max tried his best to convince her but she just gave him a small smile. She clenched the other envelope in her hand and started to walk more like limping.

She slowly made her way to go outside of this suffocating house. But Max's words made her stop in her track.

"Wait. Let me drive you back. Rain is pouring heavily outside it's not safe."

"I will be fine Mr. Maxwell. I want to walk. Goodbye." with that she walked outside the house. Max sighed heavily clenching the envelope in his hands.

He can see how much a girl was shattered. Destroyed and felt helpless. But he can't do anything. Nothing. She reminds him of someone. Someone that he lost a long time ago. The first time when he gathered her information on Dylan's order.

He had an urge to protect her. To comfort her. She reminds him so much of her. He so wanted to protect her from Dylan but he was too helpless to go against Dylan.

But now he had made his mind. No matter what he lost or what happened he wouldn't break the promise he made with her. He wouldn't let her down. He will definitely fulfill the favor that she asked from him.

Luna was walking on the empty road. The only sound of heavy rain can be heard. Thunder and lightning making the dark streets scarier. But for her, nothing remains more scary and hurtful than the thing that happened to her yesterday.

She tried. She tried her best to hold on. To try to not lose herself but failed. She failed miserably and at last.

Brokedown.

A strong girl. She was holding everything in her like a strong girl but at last, broke down.

She fell down on her knees helplessly in the middle of the road scratching her knees. But the pain was nothing. These scratches can be healed but.

What about the scratch on her soul. Who will heal that.

She cried out loud. Letting her screams echoed in the empty road. Rain was constantly falling on her body. She started to rub her neck. Shoulders. Ahe rubbed her lips vigorously.

She wanted to erase his touch. The remainder of his touch made her disgusted. She felt disgusted with herself.

"Why. Why me. Whyyyyy" she cried even harder hitting her tiny hands on the road roughly. Her hands started to bleed because of all hitting.

She placed her forehead on the road crying and cursing herself for being so weak. So vulnerable.

No one was there to see her crying. To see her screaming.

She was alone. She is alone

No one was there to help her. She wanted someone's embrace as a comfort but how fate played with her and only embrace she got was.

Loneliness and coldness.

Next morning.
Dylan Pov...

I groaned feeling a sunshine hitting on my face. I extended my arm to pull back my warmth. The warmth that gave me the most beautiful night and peaceful night.

But my arm only came in contact with an empty bed. I immediately opened my eyes and looked at my side. I wasn't shocked nor angry. I was disappointed.

I knew it she will go away from me when she wakes up but still. I chuckled why am I even thinking that she would have waited. Why. It's not like we had made love. It was beautiful for me but for her, it was nothing but a nightmare.

A need to fulfill in order to save her brothers orphanage. I once again sighed. How much. How much I wished to hold her until my last breath. But I can't.

I removed the blanket from my half-naked body. I looked at the side table there wasn't any envelop. I chuckled she took it. She took the thing for what she was here.

I was about to get up but then froze at my place.

No. It can't be.

It's not true. No no.

There was a bloodstain on the bed. On her side. I touched the blood and then stumbled back. Oh no no no. That can't be true.
