The Lost Billionaire Luna Queen Revenge novel Chapter 4

"Who are you?!" An unknown voice thundered; Cory stared at her in shock, hoping that he was probably dreaming.

"It is a long story, please listen to me, I am just an ordinary woman, " Ella stuttered in fear, She was shivering and her voice was shaking. She hurriedly shifted away from Baby Luna's side, afraid to accidentally hurt the little girl.

"Hmmm, An ordinary woman indeed, care to tell me, how an ordinary woman's eyes glow like the moon?" Cory asked with a raised brow; Confusion, curiosity, and anxiety were written all over his face.

"Glow? Me? That is impossible! I have no clue, I don't know what you are talking about...... " Ella stammered, She looked scared, and her pitiful face gave her away.

"Hmmm," Cory let out a sigh, he then took a deep breath. "Trust me, the villagers will be so scared if I tell them who you are, " he said with a menacing smile on his face.

His cunning look scared Ella, and she wondered if this was the caring young man she met yesterday in the forest.

"Who I am? " She ached her brows curiously, trying to act smart. "Who am I? " she asked looking like a dying puppy.

"A witch! You are an evil witch! Oh oh! The villagers must hear this! " Cory yelped for joy, "Once I tell them, they will learn to believe and respect me! I will finally be accepted as a member, and I won't be treated like an outcast!" He cried out excitedly, thinking of his selfish gains and interests. His eyes sparked like a man who had just won a golden medal.

"No! No, please! Please, you can't do that, If they find out that I am a witch, they will kill me! Moreover, I am not a witch! " Ella cried and fell on her knees, begging and crying at Cory's feet.

"If you are not a witch, then what are you?" Cory asked curiously, but his voice sounded tensed and eager.

"I... I am Luna's mother and her guardian angel, " Ella murmured, her eyes clouded in tears.

...........

"No! No!" Ella opened her eyes in fright, nearly jumping out of bed; her entire body was covered in sweat, and her temperature had risen greatly, She was feeling very hot, it was as if her body was lightened on fire.

"What sort of dream is that?" She asked herself a rhetorical question. Her eyes were clouded in confusion, and she hastily turned to the baby Luna's basket bed. She smiled as she watched baby Luna's sleeping face.

"Hmmm! " she sighed in relief.

She laid her head back on the pillow, and it was then she noticed that a man was sleeping peacefully beside her.

"Hmmm, so it is not a dream, oh! I hope he never finds out, " she prayed quietly before going back to bed.

Ella was overwhelmed when daybreak, I am sure she was the first human being to wake up. She couldn't sleep all night, whenever she closed her eyes, she ended up seeing things and thinking very wild.

Her night was too long and scary, and she kept tossing on her small side of the bed, wishing for the day to break, to her, daybreak was the only way to be free from her wild imagination and thoughts.

She quickly stood up from her bed, to open the small room windows.

"Where are you going to?!" Cory asked with a gentle voice, he quickly stood up from his bed, worried that she might be planning to leave him.

" Hmm, Oh me? Hmm, well, good morning," Ella stuttered, unsure of how to greet him. Her face brightened upon seeing him.

"Oh! Sorry, don't mind my manners, Good morning, how was your night? I hope you slept well. " He asked all at once.

"Hmm....

"You look stressed, and your eyes look swollen, Did you even sleep at all?" Cory asked her gently, he was worried about his wife, and he looked at her with love in his eyes.

"Well," Ella stared at him, She just couldn't believe that someone cares about her well-being so much.

"I slept well, but my night was too long, I kept thinking about my family, " she lied, She did not want to lie, but she was left with no other options; also she did not want him to be worried about her.

"Too long? Your family, oh! Is anything wrong with them?" Cory asked politely, he was looking very worried and curious.

"Actually, well yes, not really, " she mumbled, unsure of what she had just said.

"Thanks, but can you please stop staring at me with such eyes, It gives me the creeps, also Stop lusting over my body!" She giggled at her own words, and playfully hit him on his shoulders.

"Oh... I'm... Oh. Well, I was just.... " he mumbled, unsure of what to do. He felt like a little kid caught stealing sweets from his mother's bags.

"Ahh! Ahh! Ahh! Ahhhhh! " Ella laughed heartily, secretly admiring Cory's cute innocent face. "No need to feel shy, it is alright," she said in between her laughter.

"Oh!" Cory scratched his head awkwardly and bowed his head in shame.

"Just like I said earlier, it is fine, I perfectly understand," Ella assured him with a reassuring smile, and the two young adults stared at each other passionately, with love in their eyes.

"Ba ba ba ba by by ba ba!" Baby Luna babbled, her cheerful giggles filled the room. The two adults must have accidentally woken her up with their love.

"Oh! " Ella turned in the direction of the little girl, "Your daughter has finally decided to join us, She has woken up in a grand style," She playfully hit Cory and went to meet the always cheerful little girl.

"My daughter, that feels so nice, " he muffled, but Ella's heard what he said clearly, and she smiled happily.

"Baby Luna Biber," Ella sang melodiously as she twinkled the little girl, Luna laughed happily, revealing her toothless mouth.

"Look at my baby girl, she looks so much like her father, They both have the same skin color, nose shape, cheek size, and that priceless smile, " Ella said to the happy little girl.

"Ma ma ma, a a ba ba ba, "the little girl babbled happily, speaking in an unusual baby language.

"Hey Cory, do you understand what my baby girl just said?" Ella asked a playful smile on her face.

"No love, I don't, " Cory replied romantically. His response caught Ella unaware, and her cheeks turned red, as she blushed.

Cory walked to her front slowly, an intensive look in his eyes.......
