The Story of Dusk 132 EVERYTHING

He stopped a few meter away from her and scrunched his nose, but not because of disgust, just wondered why he didn't mind with this significant change.

"Do you look at me better when I am saying that?" Luna replied him with sarcastic question. "Don't worry I am too weak to do something to you." Luna reassured him when she looked Xiao Tianyao stopped in his track.

Thing that she didn't know was; Xiao Tianyao didn't avoid her because of the reason that she thought he was.

Thinking there was no need to correct her wrong assumption, Xiao Tianyao sat on the seat opposite from her.

"No. you are still detestable woman in my eyes." He said it very soft until it didn't sound like a mockery.

"Thank you for your honesty." Luna dropped her eyes on the book in her hands, trying to read again.

She acted as though the man in front of her had never said those hateful words, as if she had never heard that, but only she knew there was a sharp pain in her chest that she couldn't explain what was that?

They were getting together was because Luna's hypnosis and she had done that heartlessly, she didn't hold a grudge toward Xiao Tianyao when he took her innocent, there was no regret because all she had done was to accomplish her father mission.

The only mission that Modama had always told her thousand time until she felt he was breathing down her neck even when he wasn't around.

The only think that her mind remembered when she was being treated unjustly and at the time she had done something that she couldn't be tolerated.

But, it had been so long since she saw his father and even though her body was getting weaker, her mind was getting clearer.

There was something wrong with the way her father exact his revenge.

His past had been destroyed, but why he insisted to destroy his future as well? He had made her to hurt her own brother ever since they were young, ruined her life when he sent her as a bait to the enemy's bed.

And now he wanted Luna to kill her own baby, his own grandchild. No matter how thick the hatred that rundown his veins, how he could do that to his flesh and blood?

Luna obviously couldn't bring herself to do that.

"There is something you want?" Xiao Tianyao cracked the awkward silence between them.

Luna raised her eyes from the book, which she was pretending to read, toward the barren garden outside the window.

She didn't know how long she had muddled her head over that thought, but one thing was certain, that was the same amount of time Xiao Tianyao had to observe her.

"What do you mean?" Luna sighed, she better to not have him inside this room, it would be more than good for her mind.

"Pregnant woman tends to crave something." Xiao Tianyao supported his head on his fist, rested his elbow on the armchair lazily.

Luna turned her head to look at him with unconvincing eyes, didn't believe with what she had just heard. But, before she could voice her opinion, Xiao Tianyao had cut her off icily.

"Don't over think my offer. It's not for you, but the child in your stomach that I concerned." His eyes darkened a few shades.

Hearing the man was trying to explain himself, a self- deprecation smile appeared on her lips. "If you can get me something that I want, you better get me my brother." Luna finally closed the book, decided she would get even a word from it if Xiao Tianyao was still there.

"Do you think I will invite your brother with open arms?" Xiao Tianyao scoffed at Luna's suggestion.

However, Luna looked at him calmly when she replied. "Without my brother, not only you won't be able to see your child, but I can guarantee that I will not survive until next month." She walked toward the bed and sat on the edge of it. "You know my condition too, without the medicine from my brother I will have died in the near future."

Xiao Tianyao clenched his fist as he stood abruptly, his eyes stared at the pale woman on the bed dangerously. "I will drag him here to make the medicine." He hissed under his breath.

"Don't you dare to hurt him!" Somehow Luna got enough strength to glare at him, her lips form a tight line as she tried to hold back her anger.

"Are you threatening me now?!" Xiao Tianyao strode over her direction. "Don't you know what he and your father had done to Xinghe's people!?"

His tall body towered above her, forced Luna to raise her head to catch a look of his dreadful expression. Before Luna could give him her answer he had continued.

"Oh, of course you know what they had done. You are part from that after all." A mockery smile grazed his lips. "And you don't even feel remorse about that."

"Prince Xiao Tianyao, the last time I remember, you are the one who had led thousands of army to destroy Xinghe's Kingdom, killed every member of their royal families and even help your Emperor uncle to conquer more land and territory. And here you are, playing victim in front of me?"

The corner of Luna's lips slightly move upward, formed a taunting smile as she got back at him.

"The thing that you call revenge had harmed more innocent people than what my father and I had done toward you! If it wasn't for your family issued an order to eradicate my clan, there won't be anyone like Modama now!" Luna spat those words hatefully. She hated her father as well!

For a second, Xiao Tianyao was slightly taken aback by Luna sudden outburst, especially when he saw her eyes were brimming with tears.

"Your father had played both side when I overthrown Xinghe Kingdom. He managed to brainwash both Emperors. If I didn't do what I did, then your father would find a way to overthrown my country." Tears started streaming down Luna's cheeks and in his reverie, he brushed away her tears with his thumb. "And you are right when you said it was revenge. With or without Modama's influence, Xinghe had killed my parents and their Emperor did nothing to prevent it."

Luna frowned when she felt Xiao Tianyao's cold hand on her cheeks.

"And I will not stop there." He retracted his hand as his voice grew colder. "I will get back for every people who are responsible for their death, The Emperor of Xinghe, my Imperial Uncle, including your father."

Luna shook her head. This grudge was too deep. "You will hate this child." She stated in low voice.

Xiao Tianyao didn't give any reaction with Luna's statement. There was no telling if he would hate the child or not. Even now, he wasn't sure about his feeling, whether he hated the woman in front of him or not.

"If the situation escalates and force you to choose, will you kill this child?" Luna's heart twisted. Only now she realized, the hatred had rooted too deep until there was no way for helping it. "Give me your word." She looked at the father of their child fiercely.

There were too many blood to begin with and spilled another innocent child's blood didn't sound right, but Xiao Tianyao refused to let her know about this.

"What you will give to me?" Xiao Tianyao's eyes blazing with something too dark to understand.

"This is your child." Luna emphasized every syllable of her words.

She was certain that Xiao Tianyao wouldn't kill the baby right after she gave birth, but it wasn't a guarantee that he would treat the child conscientiously or gave the care that he or she needed and it with time, treatment like that would be worse than death itself.

She had been through those experiences.

If she couldn't get the warm embrace that she needed or protection that she desired, then at least a tiny part of her had a chance to experience those things.

"And what you will do for your child?" Xiao Tianyao held her chin between his fingers so he could see her eyes clearly. "What you will do?" He reiterated his question viciously.

"Anything." Luna replied firmly. "Everything."Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
