LUNA! YOU REALLY NEED TO STOP NOW!

IN THE PARK:

"I think we don't have much work in the office, it would be better if we sit somewhere and do some discussion about the case", Erik said.

"You are right, I cannot concentrate on work in this situation", Aaron said.

"Let's go to a nearby restaurant, will sit there and eat something first", Erik said.

"Erik, you know about the nature of Grendel, there might be a number of spies around us, I don't want to talk about anything outside, you are getting me?" Aaron asked.

"Yes, of course", Erik said.

"Let's go home, Alayah will cook something and we will able to discuss the thing in a peaceful environment, at this time my house is the safest place", Aaron said.

"You are right", Erik said and they walked towards the home. Erik called Walter and asked him to bring that document, which was in Erik's car.

AT AARON'S HOUSE:

They entered, and in the lawn, Mrs. Grendel, Luna, and Alayah were sitting with Harry.

Harry looked at Aaron and said, "Uncle, come, meet her, she is my aunt who came from Australia".

Aaron looked at Alayah with a serious face.

"Harry, I will come again to meet you", Mrs. Grendel said while looking at Aaron, then she kissed Harry's cheek and stood up to leave.

"Thank you for the hospitality", Mrs. Grendel said to Alayah, and Alayah didn't respond.

"It was a pleasure meeting you", Mrs. Grendel said to Luna.

"Thank you, thank you so much, I am also very happy to meet you, you have such a stunning personality, will love to meet you again", Luna said.

"See you", Mrs. Grendel said to Aaron and left.

Harry was not comfortable with such a mood of Aaron, he was consistently looking at Aaron, Aaron looked at him and gave him a lovely smile, then he looked and Alayah and said, "Kitchen, Alayah, Erik, please sit in the living room I will join you".

Aaron went into the kitchen and Alayah followed him.

"Why she was here?" Aaron asked.

"How would I know?" Alayah replied.

"She was sitting with Harry, and you are saying how would you know?" Aaron shouted.

"Mr. Aaron, she came inside without my permission, I am not the guard of your house to stop her", Alayah replied.

"Okay she came inside, it was the guard's mistake, Harry is your responsibility! Why the hell do I have to remind you every single day?" Aaron shouted again.

"She is Harry's aunt, who am I to stop her?" Alayah asked with anger, but she was about to cry.

"I asked how can she come here?" Aaron shouted again.

"Fire me! If you are not satisfied with my work, instead of blaming me again and again for everything", she said in an emotional tone and was about to leave when Aaron held her arm.

"Soon we have to go the court, if this lady won the case, she will not remain Harry's aunt, you have not seen her real face, did you understand?" Aaron said, Alayah looked at him with an angry face, and soon Walter arrived.

"Sir here is the document", Walter gave that to Aaron. Aaron took it carefully and entered the living room, where Erik was waiting for him.

Luna felt something fishy, she stood up immediately and came into the kitchen.

"Luna! You have seen the situation of this house, get out now", Alayah said to her.

"I will not go anywhere, I have not seen you for many days, you want me to leave and roam in the street?" Luna said.

"I think we have a house to live in, just leave", Alayah said.

"Sister, I promise I will not step out of the kitchen, I know you work here, and I am disturbing you, I am sorry, but I just want to be with you for a while", Luna requested.

"Sit here, and don't move", Alayah said and headed towards the garden to see Harry.

Luna sat on the countertop and waited for Alayah to leave the kitchen, as soon as Alayah left, Luna stood up immediately and stand near the living room and tried to listen to the conversation between Erik and Aaron.

"I just cannot bear that woman in my house, if she got Harry's custody, she will be in power, and things will become difficult for us to handle", Aaron said to Erik.

"Aaron, calm down, and just hope for the best, and please keep this document safe", Erik said.

"Yes, I will", and he put that on the table.

Alayah came into the kitchen and looked at Luna who was standing near the living room.

"What are you up to know?" Alayah asked.

"Nothing, I was just looking at the house, how beautifully it is furnished, right?" Luna said.

"Now I have to leave, but before that, I will meet Harry", Erik said and stood up, he went outside and Aaron followed him.

In the lawn, Harry was holding a water gun, as he saw Erik, he pointed the gun at him, and Erik hide behind a couch, "no, Mr. Harry I ask for forgiveness", Erik said in a cartoonish voice.

"Ha-ha, no I will kill you", Harry shouted in a devilish voice. And Aaron was looking at them with a smile.

Harry pressed the trigger, and soon his gun ran out of water.

"Alayah! Alayah! Come, please help me! Fill my gun, please, hurry up", Harry called Alayah, she came and took the gun. Meanwhile, Erik stood up and pick Harry up, "Ha-ha, here I am, I will take you to my island", Erik said and laughed.

Luna was still in the kitchen, she looked at the lawn, where everyone was busy playing games, and Luna entered the living room. The document was on the table. She opened it but didn't understand what was it so she took out her phone and clicked a picture.

And immediately left that place, walked towards the lawn, "Okay sister I am leaving now".

"Really", Alayah asked with a surprised face.

"I mean you can leave in the evening, at this hour you might not get any taxi", Alayah said.

"Oh, it is fine I will manage", Luna said and she was in a hurry.

"I am leaving too Walter can drop you off if you want", Erik said.

"No, Mr. Erik…" Alayah was saying but soon was interrupted by Luna.

"Sure", Luna said in a seductive voice and started looking at Erik with shiny eyes.

Erik didn't say anything and walked towards the gate, Luna hugged Alayah, and came close to Aaron.

"Excuse me?" Aaron asked with a serious face.

"I just wanted to say thank you", Luna said and Aaron didn't respond.

"Don't you want to know why?" Luna said while making a doll-like face.

"I am not interested, Erik is waiting for you", Aaron said carelessly.

"I just want to say thanks for that police station incident, you acted like…", Luna was saying but Aaron said, "the gate is on the right side", and walked towards the living room.

"Weird", Luna said and looked at Alayah who was controlling her anger due to Harry.

"Get out", Alayah whispered, and Luna left.

ON THE ROAD:

Walter was driving the car, and in the back seat, Erik was busy chatting with someone on phone, while Luna was just sitting with him and she was trying to read the chat.

"So, Mr. Erik what are your hobbies except running a really, really big business?" Luna asked.

Erik looked at her, she didn't know that so she immediately started making the specific doll-like face, Erik just observed her, and instead of answering her, he preferred replying to the one with whom he was chatting.

Finally, after a lot of struggles, Luna managed to see the name of the person with whom Erik was chatting, it was Elin.

"Ms. left, or right?" Walter asked.

"Straight", Luna said and Walter stooped the car near a house.

"Here is house no. 123", Walter said. Luna did nothing but kept on sitting, Erik was so indulged with his phone that he didn't notice that the car was stopped.

"Ma'am?" Walter said.

"I know", Luna whispered. Eric felt something fishy, he looked around, and asked Walter "why you stopped?"

"It is Ms. Luna's house", Walter said.

Erik looked at Luna with a confused face and found out that Luna was consistently looking at him, not at him but into his eye, it was hard for Erik to understand this look.

"Okay, see you", Luna said, then came near Erik and kissed his cheek, and left. Walter was watching in from the driving mirror.

"Disgusting", Erik said.
