The Lost Luna Is In Our Midst (Moon Goddess)

“Don’t you know that you can get killed?! ” the strange man bellowed at her angrily.

“Killed? What do you mean? I am confused! I mean I don’t think there is any harm in talking to children! ” Ella tried to explain herself, she was feeling uneasy and uncomfortable.

“Children, hmmm. Well, that boy is called Randy Lauren, and he is the product of our village chief waywardness. The other boy is called Raphael, and he is the first child of the Lauren family; I must tell you, Raphael is a very rude and cunning boy, and he is willing to do anything, just to be on top, ” the strange man explained, a light grin was on his face. Ella listened raptly, trying to guess what she did wrong.

“But he didn’t tell me that he is the village chief son, Moreover, I did nothing wrong, I was just having a harmless conversation with the small boy, also I saved his life, ” Ella tried to defend herself with a good explanation, and it brought a smile on the strange man face.

“Well am guessing you are new to the village because everyone knows that those two boys are cat and rat, always arguing, and fighting. There is no need to save his life, just save your life, because Lauren’s family can not be messed with, ” He warned her. Somehow, he was also staring at her in admiration.

“Oh, I didn’t know, This is my first time visiting this village, and I did not come here to die,” Ella deadpanned.

“First time? But how did you get pregnant, and give birth so soon? ” the strange man asked her curiously.

“Hmmm, well it is a very long story, ” Ella told him and formed a sad face, pretending to look broke.

In reality, she was broke, because she could not think of a decent lie to tell the man.

“A long story?” The strange man’s eyes lightened up immediately and he looked really happy. “Oh! I must have forgotten to tell you, that I love long stories, especially one that has to do with a lady’s experience in life, but I also like touching and emotional stories, ” He said, a long smile on his face.

“By the way, let me introduce myself properly to you, My name is Dennis, and I am a fashion designer, ” he properly introduced himself and bowed down like a real gentleman.

“Fashion designer? Wow! ” Ella smiled at him in awe, “But how come you know so much about the great Lauren family? ” she asked curiously.

“Well Ralph Lauren is my elder brother and I am uncle to those two boys, ” Dennis explained to her carefully.

“Oh! ” Ella sighed and briefly shook her head.

“So tell me your story, ” Dennis urged her.

“I will, but not today, ” Ella said with a soft, polite voice.

“Why not? Why won’t you tell me today? ” Dennis asked, with a pouted lips.

“My husband is waiting for me, moreover, I have some work to do, I also need to bathe my daughter. So another time, ” she said and turned to leave.

“Wait, ” Dennis called out to her, and Ella turned her back quickly. “What is your name? ” he asked with an enchanting smile on his face.

“Ella, my name is Ella Biber, ” she replied to him and ran off. Somehow it felt weird, but she was happy that she finally belonged to a family.

“Ella, ” Dennis muttered, he licked his lips, and a cunning look was on his face.

….

Ella quickly ran back home, greeting every single person she saw, and The villagers were surprised to see her.

“Who is she? ”

“Whose baby is that? ”

“What does she want? ”

“Who brought her in? ”

“Is she chief Ralph’s latest mistress? ”

“Why……. “. On and on, the villagers kept murmuring among themselves, unaware that Ella could hear them.

On getting back to the small hut, she was greeted by Cory’s angry face.

“Hey, ” Ella waved at him, with a nervous face.

“He! “Baby Luna copied her mother and also waved her little hands, a smile on her face.

“I looked all over for you, where were you?” Cory demanded with a slight frown on his face. He was not happy with his wife’s behavior.

“Well, I was with a man, ” Ella replied absent-mindedly.

“Hmm?! “Cory’s eyes widened in shock.

Ella on realizing what she had just said, started stammering.

“No no, it is not like that, please don’t get me wrong. I mean I was with a man, as in I was talking to a man, ” Ella continued to explain herself.

“A man, ” Cory looked jealous, “What man? But you said that you know no one in this village, ” Cory said, acting possessive and controlling.

“Yes well, I don’t know anyone, You are the only one I know, ” Ella replied innocently, Little did she know that her reply angered the jealous Cory.NôvelDrama.Org owns all © content.

Cory did not say anything else, he just nodded and left the house, leaving Ella more surprised.

“Where are you going to? ” She asked as he walked quickly.

“Will be back in a few minutes, ” he replied curtly. A bag was on his back, and he was holding a kitchen knife.

“Did I do something wrong?” Ella asked herself. “Well, I guess not, ” she sighed and entered the room.

The room was neatly arranged, and the bed was neat.

Ella carefully dropped Baby Luna on the bed and went to the kitchen.

Cory had prepared a meal for them, and he left some money for her.

“Hmmm, nice,” she cried out as the aroma of the soup filled her nose.

She quickly had her bath, and she also bath for Luna, There was no dress for her to wear, so she decided to tie a towel, pending the time that Cory would arrive.

She sat on the bed, Luna was sleeping, and her belly was filled with delicious soup.

Knock knock!* There was a knock on the door, Ella thought it was Cory, so she stood up to answer, On opening the door, she was shocked to see a smiling Dennis.

“What are you doing here? ” she asked, looking alarmed.

“I came to ask if we could be friends, ” Dennis replied, smiling broadly, revealing his white teeth.

“Okay, you can enter, ” she proposed and opened the door for him.

Dennis entered and looked around the small room.

“Nice! ” he complimented her, with a smile on his face.

“Thanks. ” Ella blushed.

“Should we go clothes shopping, I can see you don’t have clothes to wear, ” Dennis murmured, staring at her body.

It was then that Ella realized she was tying only a towel.

Just then Cory entered unannounced…..
