Chapter 15 - Chapter 15 I forbid you

They finally reached the Cullen mansion and the siblings realized how they had taken long from visiting their home. They always visited their dad at work and also go with him to eat out. They settled him in his bed, gave him company as he had dinner and also helped him take his medicine. He finally laid down to rest and they left him. The siblings went to Abigail's room to catch up on some things. "So now tell me, you look different. What's wrong?"Abigail asked as soon as they sat on her bed. "Oh you mean to say I'm more handsome now?" he smirked. Abigail rolled her eyes and said," Such a narcissist. You're just normal." "I already told you Abigail. You will never get someone as handsome as me. Bad thing I'm your brother," he winked at her and she threw a pillow in his face.

"Quit playing Graham. I'm serious. You wanna share something?" she asked. His face became serious," Maybe not yet but soon, because I'm focusing on someone. Will tell you in details when I land on her." Abigail was surprised by his words. "Brother is in love?" she teased. "As I told you, patience my dear. You will know everything. So then about you? How's Jake?" "He's fine. Always treating me like a queen," she blushed and he stood up before saying that," Let me leave you before you infect me with the love syndrome." And just then, Rebecca who was eavesdropping on their conversation tiptoed away from the door.

She wanted her son for only one girl and that was Ciara from the Roberts. The Roberts were also one of the most influential families in Blue City. Earlier, she was okay knowing that Graham only did flings and one night stands but if he had started mixing emotions, it was high time she set the two of them up. The most important thing was that Ciara was head over hills for her son therefore it would be easier and she would never accept any other woman for her son.

She pretended to have been sitting downstairs on the couch and called him when he came out. He came and sat opposite her and raised his brows indicating her to start. She smiled and said," I'm glad that you two have decided to live with us here." "It's only for a week," he reminded her. "Even though. It really means something to us. And how are you? How is your life going?" "Now you're interested in my life Mom?" he asked. "Of course I should be interested. You're my only son. Anyway I was wondering when your schedule is free?" "What do you want?"he asked. "Actually Ciara Roberts just came back this month after finishing her studies so she's been asking me about your free time. She wants you guys to hang out again as you used to," she explained expectantly. "My schedule is always fixed. I only tend to emergencies out of my it," he said.

"But you're free this week." "This week is specifically for Dad nothing else. I also cancelled all my other work to be with him." "Just a dinner date for two hours won't kill you Graham. Weren't you two a couple sometime back?" "No, it was just a fling and she knew it. Nothing serious." "Even though it was. You're going to make thirty. Won't you settle down?" she asked worriedly. "Not now. And even if I do, it definitely won't be her Mom." With this, she stood up and raised her voice. "Who will it be then? I forbid you from even thinking about it. You're marrying Ciara and that's final" Graham stood up and calmly said," It's okay, if it's you who's going to marry her. This is exactly why we all left home and if you don't stop, Dad will also leave you here and you will be all alone by yourself. And don't forget that we have a patient in this house and he's in that condition because of you, so please don't raise your voice." He left for his room and Rebecca remained there planning something.

In Sun City, Luna was starting to lose hope seeing that three days had passed by and she hadn't heard from him. She kept seeing him on the internet and on TV. Even though she had expected it to have been just a fling to him, it still hurt her so much. "Luna why are you crying?" asked Bella worriedly and she quickly wiped the tears she hadn't realized that she had been shedding. "Ah it's nothing. Just some painful memory." "You wanna talk about it?" "No it was long ago in the orphanage." Bella doubted it could be because she had noticed that her behavior had changed ever since she came back from Blue City. She decided to think of a topic to distract her from her thoughts, "Oh by the way I was ranked as the most hardworking employee of the month because of that interview you made on Graham Cullen and probably I will be the employee of the year. Thank you so much," she boasted not knowing that she was rubbing salt in her friend's wound. "Oh, good for you," replied Luna sadly. "Yes you really helped me because you know our agency had tried several times on contacting him but always failed to get to him. Then I tried doing it several times then one day my wish was granted. Really thank you. But as I promised at the end of year we shall go to Blue City and have our vacation." She didn't want to hear anything about Graham Cullen or Blue City.

"No it's okay. I don't want to," Luna immediately refused. "Why? It has nice places." "No. Maybe some other place not there." "Okay.Whatever"
