Chapter 44 - Chapter 44 We need to talk

After a while, they left the pharmacy, Bella having a crumpled face because of Ethan's action. He had made sure that she took the pill in his presence. 'I personally wanted to get pregnant. It's my body and decision. And perhaps little Leah badly wants a sibling,' she thought.

There was silence in the car as he was driving. It wasn't only Bella's mind in chaos but also Ethan's. He didn't know what to do. After Luna's rejection, he had completely shut his heart. But now that this happened, he was utterly confused. He wasn't the type of guy to take advantage of women but this suddenly happened.

After a while, he decided to say something, "Bella, we need to talk. What happened between us was a mistake. I'm not going to deny that I enjoyed what we did but it's not right if there are no feelings involved. It might be your thing but not mine. So if I ask that we forget about what happened and remain friends as before, is it too much for me to ask?" "I can't promise anything Ethan. But don't worry I'm not blaming or thinking that you took advantage of me. I'm not a kid." With that, he decided to keep quiet and continue driving.

A long while later, he reached her home and as soon as he entered the gate, Luna came rushing from the house. She pounced on Bella as soon as she came out and hugged her tightly. "I'm not breathing." "Sorry. Are you okay? Did those guys do something to you? Ethan are you okay? You guys worried me to death," she spoke. "Yes we-I am fine," replied Bella. "How's Leah?" "You shouldn't worry. She's very fine. She's been too distracted by Dylan," said Luna. "Okay thank you so much for taking care of her. I think we should get going. Have many matters at hand," he said as they went inside the house. Luna sensed some tension between the two. He took Leah and left.

"So tell me what happened? What did they do to you guys?" Luna asked as soon as Ethan left. "We did it," she said. "You did what?" Luna was confused. Bella leaned close to her and whispered in her ear and her eyes widened in shock. "It can't be," Luna couldn't believe it. Bella unbuttoned her shirt to reveal her skin which was covered with different kinds and colors of hickeys making Luna gasp. "Oh my God. I didn't expect it," she said. "I don't believe it either," said Bella. "So when did it happen?" "Yesterday and today."

"So what did he say about it. I mean after," asked Luna. "Just what I expected. That it was a mistake blah blah blah but I'm not listening to him. He will soon give in just wait," she winked. "That's the spirit. But tell me about the kidnap." Bella narrated each and everything that happened leaving Luna dumbfounded. "Thank God you're safe. I will prepare a delicious meal for you." With that, Luna went to the kitchen and Bella retired to her room. She decided to have a proper shower and after undressing, she saw her hickeys and got a naughty idea. She got her phone and stood in the mirror then took mirror pics only in her lacy underwear without bothering to cover her breasts and after she smirked.

The next day at work, Ethan was in his office passing through some documents but his mind was far from them. He shook his head and sighed before going to the coffee machine and brewed some for himself. After sitting back, he received a message and on checking it was Bella. The person putting his mind in chaos. On opening the message, he gasped and quickly stood up. Pacing back and forth, he began feeling hot. He took off his coat and loosened his neck tie. His breathing became ragged. This woman! She was really something. He got his phone and called her who picked it up immediately. "What do you think you're doing?" he asked. "What do you mean?"

"The....the message you sent." "What's wrong with it?" "You know what I'm talking about. T-that picture." "What about it?" "Y-your naked." "Is that the only thing you saw about it?" "What do you mean?" "I will explain Mr Carter. You bruised my skin as you can see. You're a beast in bed. You need to take responsibility," she said. "What do you mean by taking responsibility? You bruised mine too." "I need proof just as I have shown you mine," at this rate, she was finding a hard time suppressing her laughter. Ethan couldn't believe the nerve of this woman. He could only sigh before saying," Fine. What do you want?" Bella widely grinned and said," Dinner with you. That's all."
