The Lost Billionaire Luna Queen Revenge novel Chapter 3

Unknown Pov:

I can feel it, something is building up in my body; Wait what? Blood, water, veins, flesh! Oh my God! What is happening to me?" I asked myself a rhetorical question.-

I want to stand up, I want to get on my feet, but I feel tied to the ground.

Ground? What is this? Where am I? Who am I? What am I doing here?

I feel tired, my head hurts so much; lonely, tired, and hungry, I burst into tears, growling, crying, and groaning.

....

"Can you hear it? " Cory asked his fellow hunters curiously.

"I think so, I mean it sounds like a baby's cry!" Mr. Andrew Lupa exclaimed in alarm.

"Let's go search for him," Cory reasoned an anxious look on his face.

"Him? Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah!" Andrew, Peter, Phillip, and Mark laughed at Cory, mocking and taunting him.

"Fine, I think I understand his problem," Mark taunted; "We all know that Cory is gay, he is probably missing his partner, Ah ah ah ah ah!" Mark commented, his comment made the other hunters laugh.

Cory stood still, tears clouded in his eyes, and his tongue felt bitter; he hated whenever his fellow hunters bullied, mocked, or taunted him.

"Now, guys, I think that it is enough," a melodious lady's voice echoed in the dark forest.

"Who is there? " Mark asked, feeling scared and belittled.

"I am a harmless butterfly, traveling in the middle of the night, looking for a greener pasture, " the lady replied carefully coming out of her hiding place.

"Who are you?!" Andrew asked the lady furiously, "And who do you think you are? I mean who gave you the boldness to enter this forest, Hmm, answer me fool! " he yelled at the beautiful damsel.

"Well, my name is Ella, and I was just passing by," the beautiful stranger replied with a soft and enchanting voice.

"Are you married? " Peter asked, staring at Ella seducingly.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Ah! You are not her type, she needs strong men like me, " Philip said confidently, raising his shoulders as he spoke.

"A baby needs our help," Ella said, ignoring the men's questions. She smiled seducingly at them and left in the direction of the baby's voice. The hunters although surprised, decided to follow her like an obedient lamb.

"Yes," Ella's eyes glowed in delight as stared at the crying baby.

The baby was lying on the ground and covered with a thick blanket. A golden chain was put around her neck and she glowed with the moon.

"Wow! Such beauty! " Mark exclaimed, staring at the baby in awe.

"Who could be so wicked to leave a baby alone at this time of the night? " Andrew asked sarcastically, stamping his foot on the ground angrily.

"A heartless mother of course," Phillip replied, he was also staring at the baby, smitten by her beauty.

"We have to take care of her, we can't leave her alone, " Peter suggested to his fellow hunters.

"I think it's a baby girl," Cory murmured, he carefully sat down beside the girl, and he was shocked when the girl stopped crying. The baby girl kept blinking her eyes, looking at the strange man in front.

After a few seconds, she started to suck Cory's little thumb. This act caught Cory unaware and he stared at the girl, love in his eyes.

"I think she likes you," Ella said, a smile on her face, she turned to face Cory, "why not take her in? " she asked carefully.

"Hmmm, me?" Cory looked shocked, and his palms turned wet.

"Cory can't take care of her, he is too poor," Peter said, laughing like a fool.

"He doesn't even have money to buy clothes for himself, so how will he be able to buy a dress, blanket, cradle, and baby food for the beautiful girl?" Mark asked, a mischievous grin on his face.

"I will take care of her, and I promise to treat her well," Cory proposed determination in his eyes.

"Be my guest then, just make sure you don't sell the girl or probably kill her out of hunger," Andrew giggled at his own words.

"I won't, I will treat her like a princess," Cory promised.

"It is agreed then, Cory will take care of the baby girl," Phillip announced, grinning like a child.

"But, I have one request to make, " Cory said after a brief silence.

"What do you need poor man?" Mark asked him sharply.

"This should be between us, no one must know that I found her in the forest, " Cory proposed, he looked scared.

"Fine, we won't tell anyone; but if they ask about her mother, what will you tell them?" Peter asked Cory curiously. Cory was lost and he stared at the floor deep in thought.

"I am her mother. He will tell them that I am her mother, " Ella said suddenly; The hunters were amused and curious to know more about what Ella just said. Cory raised his head in confusion.

"What do you mean? " Cory asked Ella, his eyes hovering around her.

"I will be a mother to her, and you will be a father to her, we'll be her new parents, " Ella replied, "that's if you don't mind, " she added.

"Cory is gay, he ca... "

"I agree, " Cory interrupted Peters's sentence, and he stood up his eyes shining in delight.

"Well then, it is settled," Andrew smiled at the baby, "I will be expecting your wedding invitation card," he said, without waiting for a reply, he dragged Mark and Peter, Philip followed him, and the four of them left the forest.

"Wedding cards?" Ella raised her brows, staring at Cory, confusion written on her face.

"Yes wedding cards, we will get married," Cory replied, looking very happy and excited.

"But..... "
