CHAPTER THIRTEEN.

"Luca I want him out of my hotel!! Him and that worthless piece of...."

"Language young lady," Luca pointed out at furious Luna.

"If him and that girlfriend of his are not out of this place by tomorrow, l swear to God, I am shutting down this programme of yours and nothing you will say will make me change my mind!" Luna growled angrily at Luca who already seemed to be more afraid of her than she was of him. He knew completely well she was a ticking bomb always ready to explode.

"Have you taken your medication Luna," Luca asked now concerned.He had never seen her this angry.

"Yes I have and I am very high on them right now! Don't provoke me!" she warned pacing around the room.

"Darling we both know your father wouldn't agree," Luca tried to reason with Luna.

"At this point I don't care. Look what those two did to me," she said pointing at the bandage wrapped around her head like a bandana.

"And they apologized!" Luca reminded her.

"This is exactly why the board has impeached you Luca. You no longer seem to have authority over your people! Chaos just seem to be running all through!" A voice unfamiliar to Luna's ears spoke and a lady dressed in white walked into the office gracefully.

"And who the hell are you? Don't you know interrupting people's private conversations is rude!" Luna angrily turned to face the lady.

"Believe me dear, there is nothing private about your conversation" she assured Luna.

"Even so, at your age, nobody taught you how to knock?" Luna asked her eyebrows now raised.

"Don't make me laugh darling, why would I knock on the door of my office?" she laughed sarcastically shaking her head.

"Now Luca out of my desk," she said as she placed her bag on the desk and stood behind Luca's chair waiting for him to get up.

"What do you mean your office?" At this point Luna was confused but Luca seemed to be perfectly aware of all that was going on.

"Luca what does she mean by her office?" Luna questioned turning to Luca whose face portrayed nothing but sadness, anger,hatred and pain.

"Your beloved friend and Saviour here was impeached early this morning by the board that manages the DESTINY CONNECTOR programme that runs in this hotel! He was considered unfit and not of sound mind to continue running this programme." She explained.

"I mean who allows maids like you to disrespect people way above your class and then worst of all, disciplines the dignitaries and lets the maids run free. Who on earth forces dignitaries, distinguished people all over the country and other countries surrounding us to do chores. Its unheard of Luca!" She exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

"Is that why you called me here Luca?" Luna asked now pitying the poor old guy. Luca just nodded at her sadly.

"Just so you know those orders did not come from him lady, They came from way above!" Luna told off the lady in white.

"And who is that way above??" she asked.

"The one who owns this hotel!" Luna scoffed.

"Well he failed at convincing the person in charge otherwise and that is why I am here! To finally bring back order and sense to this place. I am sure the mysterious owner of the hotel is a fair and reasonable being and they will definitely agree with me," She said proudly.

Luna couldn't be able to hold be back her scoff and sadistic laugh.

"And why are you laughing?" She raised her eyebrows at Luna.

"With all due respect, you represent everything that she hates!" Luna shrugged at the lady eyeing her from head to toe.

"It won't be long before she shuts this programme down! and sends you packing." Luna scoffed.

"So its a she! Luca see, I've gone further than you ever have within the first day!" She smiled proudly.

"Taking advantage of a poor old man, stealing his technology and his ideas to make yourselves rich and likable to those rich folk! You will all one day regret this!" Luna said bitterly.

"And how will we regret it dear?" she mockingly eyed Luna.

"Karma is a bitch mama!" Luna smirked.

"Luca what are you still doing here? Get out of my office! Your things and your payment will be sent to you by tomorrow evening. Have a nice life! Your time is up and you failed!" She said.

"In no way have I failed Grace. The jobs that all of you who cast me out have,its all because of me and my hard work. None of you would be where you are right now were it not for me. None of those so called dignitaries who suggested my ouster would be married and living happily were it not for me and my self-built technology and yet this is how you all choose to repay me? All of you will regret the same way I deeply regret allowing people like you to be investors and shareholders of my company, " Luca bitterly told off Grace.

"And keep your payments to yourself!" Luca said as he grabbed his coat and machine ready to leave.

"So you really decided to go to court?" She asked shocked.

"No! I will sit back and watch you crumble and destroy yourselves then when you are all miserable and helpless, Guess who you will come back crawling to? ME! And then, only then, will I take you to court to get what is rightfully mine. Then you will spend the rest of your miserable sad lives paying back every single penny you owe me plus compensation. Mark my words 'Darling'."

Every word he spoke sounded as a threat, an assurance and a promise. Grace seemed a little bit scared but she brushed the fear away. In her mind she thought they would destroy him completely before he destroyed them.

"Luna dear, let's go," Luca ushered Luna to leave as he opened the door for her.

"No she stays. You leave!" Grace ordered.

Luna nodded at Luca assuring him it was okay and that she got this. Luca winked back at her and then off he went.

Grace was eyeing Luna from head to toe suspiciously. Luna just looked back at her emotionless and bluntly.

"I still wonder how a peasant like you charmed your way into the hotel's bosses heart!" Grace mocked Luna.

"Well you'd be surprised but Oh well, she says I am quite the charmer." Luna replied bluntly but sternly.

"Your saviour is gone now. Luna its either you shape up or shape out!" she grunted sharply.

"Well Miss Grace, I'd rather shape out!" Luna scoffed.

"Soon child, you will know your place and learn to respect authority and your elders. You may leave!"

"And so will you Ma'am. We'll see who gets there first." Luna said calmly and at the same time sharply.

Not one single time did she break eye contact or show any weakness throughout their whole conversation. Every word she spoke seemed to have to some truth to it.

This scared Grace. She was truly in for a treat!
