This is what Luna was waiting for. Confirmation. Somewhere deep in her heart, she was hoping that he was going to say that everything was a lie. That Graham had made a mistake. This was someone she greatly admired, someone she looked up to, someone who supported her and someone she thought got her back. All this time, all the support he gave her was total guilt. He had been always guilty for killing him. She walked to where he was and slapped him with all her might before saying," That is for kissing me. How could you kiss me when you knew that you had a hand in murdering the father of my child? You have no conscience. You are heartless. So tell me, why did you do it?"
Ethan looked at her and took a deep breath before he said," First and foremost I'm so sorry, you might not believe me but I regret my actions. I honestly don't know what came into me. I've never done anything like this. But that night when I learned that you were pregnant, I lost my rationale." "When did you do it?" she asked. He thought about it and decided to say everything because at this point, nothing could be saved.
"After the doctor told me that you were pregnant, I lost it because I thought that you didn't have a boyfriend. I noticed that my suspicions were true about you going to your lover's in Blue City yet you deceived me by saying that you were going to look for your relative. Having been broken terribly in the past, I didn't want to experience the same thing again. I immediately started my search. I got information that you had gone to interview Graham Cullen on behalf of your friend. I immediately understood that he might have tricked you because everyone knew him. I was so pissed. I thought of what I could do and the only thing that came to my mind was to speak with Freddie Cruise, Graham's mortal enemy. But before I could get contact with him, I spoke to Alex the next day who told me that there's a possibility of you having been raped. I decided to come to you in the evening and that's when you told me that you didn't despise him and that you were traveling to Blue City to inform him about the pregnancy. So..... When I left your house, I contacted Freddie and he told me that they had an upcoming match therefore he could finish him off without leaving any evidence behind. He...he asked money from me which I sent him to do the deed. And I think he messed with his breaks before the match so that it could appear like it was an accident."
Luna's eyes were filled with tears as she listened to him. She looked at him like a complete stranger. Someone she had never known. How can someone be so good at pretending? "So all the time when you used to ask me what the baby's father said, you were mocking me. You know what hurts me the most? That you dared to kiss me knowing what you had done. You're a murderer. I hate you Ethan Carter," she yelled last sentence.
"You can do anything you want to me. But I want you to know that I truly regret what I did. And I never contacted Freddie ever again. I may sound crazy but I no longer have any problem with Graham because I love Bella now. I am truly sorry Luna," he said. She wiped her tears and said," I will never forgive you Ethan Carter. In my eyes, you will always be a murderer. Had it not been luck, Graham would have been six feet under the ground now. My son would have been an orphan and I would have been miserable for the rest of my life. I wish you the best in your life." After that, she turned and left but before she could open the door, she heard him ask," Are you going to tell Bella?"
She stopped for a while and then opened the door and left him standing there.
He deeply breathed in and out. He couldn't afford to lose Bella. He didn't know if he would take it.
Luna walked as far as her legs would take her. She was walking aimlessly. She was in deep thoughts. She felt stupid. She didn't know what to do. She later came out of her daze and noticed that she had long left the main road. She then sat down on the floor and started meditating. Should she tell Bella about it? She then remembered how Bella had always loved Ethan. Telling her would mean separating them and she knew that Bella's happiness lied in him. What should she do then? Suddenly, Luna got a solution. She didn't want to do it but it seems like there was no other option. She then stood up and started walking towards the direction she came from.
