Elena couldn't believe it. Last time when she found her in Graham's office, she never paid attention to see her face. She now saw that her hair was golden blonde just as grandma explained. Was she the same girl her grandma was talking about? The biological daughter of the Howells? But then her grandma said that she saw her in Blue City.
Luna was confused when she heard the woman gasp the moment she entered her office. "Is everything alright Miss Howells?" she asked and she immediately regained her composure before saying," Y-yes I'm fine. Good afternoon." She settled down and took her time staring at this woman who resembled Mrs Howells so much. Luna introduced herself and then started discussing the proposal with her but Elena was absent minded since her attention was on the conversation she heard her parents having. She decided to confirm something," Uhm... I'm sorry for the interruption Miss Luna. But it's as if I saw you in Blue City three weeks back. Or it wasn't you?" "Oh, yeah I was there three weeks back. Where did you see me?" she asked. "I think it was a Mall. I just wanted to confirm that it was you that I saw," she said and Luna nodded in understanding before continuing the discussion. So it was her. The Howells biological daughter, whose place she had occupied. She decided to investigate her because she didn't look to be in any bad state starting from the clothes she was wearing.
When everything was done, Elena left and sat in her car thinking about so many things.
She had seen that Luna was as good and capable in business as her so incase her parents find her, she would automatically inherit the Howells Corporation leaving her with nothing.
She would also lose her parents love and affection. She needed to do something. She decided to start the car and leave this place.
In the evening, Luna found Bella home who had come back from Ethan's house. Going to her room, she found her organising her working formal clothes for the whole week and on seeing her, Bella exclaimed saying," It's good you're here. I've been waiting for you."
They sat on the bed and she played the voice notes to Luna that she had captured during their dinner date. After listening, Luna said," It seems like Ethan did something to Graham. But what could it be? Haven't they just met a month ago in the hospital?"
"I was confused too and by the looks of it, it might be serious. I'm wondering what we can do to find out." "Perhaps asking them. But I don't think they are willing to share," said Luna. "Don't worry. I will try and ask Ethan when I see him again. You never know he might tell me," said Bella and they resumed their chat when Bella suddenly gasped. "What is it?" asked Luna. After thinking for sometime, she whispered," Luna, I'm late on my period." "For how long?" she asked her. After thinking she answered," I think one week." With this, her lips parted in disbelief before asking," Have you guys been using protection?" Bella shook her head before saying," In the beginning but not anymore." Luna was speechless. Could it be that her friend? How would Ethan take it?
Then Bella released another gasp before saying," Today morning!! I threw up. But I didn't think so much about it." And this confirmed their suspicion. It could be true that she's pregnant. Bella started trembling and she looked at Luna saying," What I'm I going to do? How will he react?" Luna sat close to her and said," I think that before we reach to conclusions, let's take a pregnancy test first then we see what we will do next." "N-no. I'm scared. He might not like it," she said. "But this is the only way for us to find out. Let's do it okay? I'm here with you," Luna convinced her and finally she accepted.
They got different types of pregnancy tests before Bella peed in a container and they dropped one strip inside before leaving it for the required time. All this while, she was trembling in nervousness.
After the required minutes, Luna said," I think it's time." She shook her head and whispered," I-I can't. You check and tell me."
Luna nodded and went to the bathroom. She was also nervous for her friend but it's just that she had to be stronger. Taking a deep breath, she removed the strip and looked at what it had displayed.
Bella was trembling like crazy when she saw Luna coming from the bathroom. She reached her but before she could open her mouth, Bella said," F-first wait please." Clutching her chest to feel her thudding heart, she nodded at her indicating that it was fine for her to continue.
"It's negative," Luna said and Bella couldn't believe it. "W-what did you say?" "It's negative. You're not pregnant," she told her.
Bella released a big sigh of relief and said," Let me see."
