He entered the duvet but when she entered the bed, he noticed that she slept at the extreme end leaving a very big gap between them and she looked as if she would fall off the bed any minute. Frowning he asked," Why are you at the extreme end?" She pushed a little bit which almost made no difference and he scooped her in his arms till he brought her closer and embraced her.
Bella could hear her heart thumping in her ears and her body stiffened when he touched her. She couldn't get any sleep and throughout the entire night, her eyes were widely open as she thought of what she was going to do.
In the morning, Ethan woke up first and before he could go to the shower, he came to her side and on noticing it, she closed her eyes pretending to be sleeping and she felt him place his hand on her forehead as if checking her body temperature. After, he went to the bathroom to take a shower as she remained in bed.
A while later, he came out and started dressing up for work. When he was done, he placed his hand on her shoulder to wake her up. "How did you sleep?" he asked. "I'm fine." "I called the doctor and he's coming in thirty." She got up and said," No, I'm totally fine. It was just a normal stomach ache. I'm even going to work." "Are you sure you can work?" "Yes." "Okay," he said before leaning forward to kiss her but when she turned away, he pecked her cheek. "In case of anything, call me. I'm going to call you when I reach work," he said and when she nodded, he left the room to go to work. As soon as he got out of the room, she got up and looked through the room window where she saw him entering his car then it left the Villa until she couldn't see it anymore.
She went to the walk in closet and started packing her bags. She removed all her clothes, shoes, handbags and everything that belonged to her. After packing her things, she had a quick bath and came out of the room looking around. She didn't want anyone seeing her bags especially the butler because they would tell him which she didn't want. When she noticed a gap, she started moving but before she could reach her car, one maid found her and she asked her to keep quiet which she nodded to.
After putting her things in the car, she drove leaving his Villa.
While driving, she didn't know where to go and she decided to drive towards the beach.
She got out of the car and approached the water, then stepped in it as her mind wandered to many things. Bella wasn't stupid not to notice that Luna lied about their reason of leaving Sun City. She started connecting the dots and she remembered how everytime Luna asks her whether Ethan is treating her right. Ethan wanted to kill Graham and all that time, he had been pretending with them. She now understood and she couldn't believe it.
Ethan was the reason why her friend suffered for two years and when she found out about it, she decided to be the one to leave. But Ethan didn't feel guilty enough to tell her the truth. Her eyes widened when a certain realisation struck her. Did he perhaps decide to return her feelings because he didn't want to part away from Luna completely? And that he has been lying to her all this while? Why was she always unlucky when it came to love? Where should she go? Where should she start?
A long while later, she came up with what she thought was a solution. She left the beach and on reaching the car, she found her phone ringing and it was Ethan calling. Did that maid tell the butler? As expected. She muted it and decided to drive instead.
Ethan reached the office and as promised, he called her. He wanted to take her out today evening to tell her everything but he was confused when he called multiple times and she didn't pick up. He called the butler to check if she was still home and on checking, he told him that she had left for work. He therefore decided to wait and call her later assuming that she was busy right now.
Bella reached work and on entering her office, she made a call and when it went through," Good morning Mr Cullen." "Good morning, Bella," Graham was surprised when she addressed him formally. "How are you?" "I'm fine, Bella. You don't seem to be so fine," he told her. "Uhm...I'm fine. I called first of all to thank you for entrusting me with this company. It really means a lot to me, but I don't think I can go on with it anymore," she said and he was surprised. "Why?" "I'm just not fit for this. Please let me resign, I can't do this anymore," she said.
