Chapter 99 - Chapter 99 We are leaving permanently

Graham was starting to get worried. He kept on calling her phone but she wasn't picking. Unknown to him, she had left the phone in her office. "I think leaving her was not a good option," he told Vikram who was standing looking at him. "She's fine. She will come back if she's done." Suddenly, the door opened and she entered. Vikram immediately left the office to let them talk closing the door behind him.

When they remained the two of them, Graham saw her slowly going down until she went on her knees as she looked at him with tearful eyes. He was surprised and immediately got up then came towards her. He placed his hands on her shoulders but she refused to leave the ground.

"I'm so sorry. I'm sorry for being a bad mother and a bad woman to you," she wailed. He got her up and hugged her tightly and her sobs intensified. He said," You shouldn't be sorry about any- "Let me say what I have to say," she told him and he nodded. "Forgive me for being friends with a man who wanted to kill you. For believing his lies and accepting his help when all he was doing was mock me. For forcing you to dine with him. For being a bad mother by..... being kissed by that man when I am pregnant. Forgive me for forcing you to get along with the man who made you go through the worst experience of your life. The man who made you miss seeing your son's birth, first smile, first steps, first words, I am really stupid," she said and her tears were flowing like a fountain. He embraced her for a long time until he felt her calm down. Later, he sat on the couch and made her sit on his lap.

"You shouldn't blame yourself for anything. You didn't know. You're not stupid at all, you're someone who's kind and always looks at the goodness in people," he coaxed her as he massaged her temple.

"Why didn't you tell me? You didn't have to keep this from me," she said. "I didn't want to see you like this," he told her. "Okay. I have decided. Let's go to Blue City this time permanently because I don't want to ruin Bella's happiness and I cannot pretend that I don't hate him." Graham thought for a moment before asking," Are you sure this is what you want?" She nodded before saying," Yes, I'm sure. It's for the best." "Okay. When do you want to go?" "As soon as possible," she told him. "Alright then. We shall be leaving in three days," he told her and she thanked him.

The ride to home was so silent and as soon as Luna reached the house, she went to Bella's room. "Dear, you look awful. Have you been crying?" Bella asked her as soon as she saw her. "I wasn't feeling well but I'm okay now."

"You were sick?" she asked again. "Kind of. I have to tell you something. W-we are leaving for Blue City in three days," she said. "Again? Okay, when are you coming back then?"

"Uhm....we are not coming back. We are going permanently," she said and Bella gasped. "What!!!? What do you mean?" she exclaimed.

"Uhm.. Graham's Dad insisted on us going and Graham didn't want to disobey him so we have to go. I'm so sorry," she said and Bella couldn't believe it. She had never thought of parting with her best friend permanently.

"Okay," she simply said. "Bella, don't get angry with me. I really have no option." Bella hugged her tightly and said," I will miss you so much. You are the family I have." "And I will miss you too. I love you so much Bella. But I have to do this. Don't worry we shall be arranging meetings," she assured her.

Back to Ethan, he was pacing back and forth in panic. He was wondering if Luna told Bella.

"Calm down. You have to be thinking of how you're going to explain to her instead of worrying about the inevitable," said Alex. "She won't listen to me. She will leave me," he said and soon his phone started ringing. On checking, it was Bella and he felt as if his heart was going to jump out of his chest.

He assumed she was calling to lash out at him. "Pick it up. She might be calling for other things." "I can't. She's going to leave me," he said. And he let it ring till it went off. She then called the second time and Alex convinced him to pick up the phone.
