The two were still sleeping when they heard a persistent knocking at the door. Getting up, Bella checked the time and saw that it was only five thirty in the morning. Who could that be this early in the morning? Lazily, she got up and went to the door. "Who is it?" she asked and she heard Ethan's voice. She was surprised. This early?!!! Sighing, she opened the door and he came in. "Good morning," he greeted as he gazed at her.
"Good morning, why are you here? And this early?" she asked but he didn't reply as he seemed to be looking at something. She followed his line of sight and it was then she saw that he was looking at her chest area. She was dressed in a black lacy night dress and her breasts could clearly be seen. This pervert !! She immediately turned around and ran back to her bedroom. "Who was it?" asked Luna as she got out of bed. "It was him," she said before making her way to the bathroom.
After bathing, Luna went to the kitchen to prepare something for the three of them as Bella decided to prepare herself for work. Ethan who was sitting at the couch was contemplating on going to the bedroom to find Bella. The image of her in that lacy nightdress was still flashing in his mind but he decided not to do it because she might not like it.
After breakfast, Bella cleaned the table and after she asked," I'm going to work. You're going to be here?" "Yes, we shall wait here for you in the evening," said Luna.
When she went, Luna narrated everything to Ethan and after he said," I don't care if he's gay or not. Bella is not getting married to him. I can get him a woman to help but Bella is out of the picture. Did she accept to come with us?" "She needs some time and I think we should go back." A deep frown came to settle on Ethan's face before he said," You know I can't do that." "So now what's so next plan? Stay here till when? I have a family to return to," Luna reminded him incase he had forgotten. Taking a deep breath, he asked," What do you suggest then?" "That we go back and give her the time she needs. I'm sure she will not run away again." "I know but I will get someone to watch over her. I don't want to risk again," he said.
The next day therefore, the two got a cab that took them to the airport. Luna decided to board directly to Blue City but before she could go, Ethan said," I want to say that thank you for everything Luna. I know I don't deserve this and that you did this for Bella but I want to thank you still. Since the beginning, I've been regretting what I did and I wish we could go back to being friends. But of course I know you need time." After a while, she said," I will take my leave now. Please tell me if Bella contacts you and I will do the same."
With that, she boarded the plane to go to Blue City.
Away from that, Graham and Vikram were in a night lounge drinking as they were talking about some important things.
"So, you've failed to locate Elena Howells?" asked Graham. "She's still in hiding." "Do you think I should contact the Howells about their daughter or talk to Luna first?" he asked once again. "I think you should tell Luna first," suggested Vikram. When they conducted a thorough search, they got to know what Elena did and the fabricated lie she made up. "I think I have gotten what I will do," said Graham before continuing," How is Ciara?" "She's doing fine, you know how difficult she can be. Her first trimester ended and she's now alright. Even her baby bump is visible now," he said. "I can feel the excitement in you and I'm happy for you. Unluckily for me, I didn't get the chance to see those stages." "You still have time it's not that it's your last child," he said and Graham nodded in approval.
After chitchatting, the two left for home and when he reached, Vikram entered the house. He found Ciara having her dinner and when she saw him, she said," I thought you were not coming back." Joining her, he said," I was only out with Graham." She looked at him before saying," Busy with your women." She knew what they used to do because she used to follow them in an attempt to keep an eye on Graham. "You know that we both changed. He has someone and I am a married man," he said as he put food on his plate. "How are you feeling? You have any discomfort?" he asked as he took a bite on his food but maintained his eyes on her. She shook her head before saying," Haven't experienced it again in my second trimester."
