Chapter 54 She will leave me

At around midday, Luna was done with all the packing and they therefore left for Ethan's house. Speaking with the nanny, she assured that she will take care of him. After holding and kissing her son multiple times, she decided to head to the airport. Bella didn't like the fact that Ethan was still on his trip. It was nearly a month. Was he avoiding her? She decided to ask the Nanny. "Uhm Nanny Lola, when is Mr Carter coming back?"

"He had to come back this week but he called and said that some circumstances made him postpone his stay over there."

Bella was getting more worried now. Ever since that day they made out in his office lounge, he had started going on business trips more often. And when she tried calling him, he would not pick up most times and even if he did, he would always speak as if in a hurry before hanging up. It was very rare that he calls her. She wondered what he was thinking or doing. Was he avoiding her? Did he hate her?

In Blue City, Rebecca was done with all the preparations required for the ball. She was certain everything will be perfect. She had invited several media platforms to film all that will happen. Raphael looked at his wife for a while before saying," I know what you and Ciara are planning to do tomorrow. But I still think that you should tell him about it." She glared at him before saying," Mind your business Raphael. I know what's good for my son."

"So you want our son to have a marriage life like ours?" he asked. "What is wrong with our marriage life? I know it didn't start with the basis of love but we've been fine. We have two beautiful children who have never lacked anything in this life. Listen Raphael, I know you're still holding past grudges but you should know that all I'm doing is securing his future. I want a nice woman besides him and Ciara is just that. Excuse me," she left. Raphael could only sigh. He was always like that. Always letting her do and get what she wants.

At a certain beach house, Freddie was nearly losing his mind ever since the news about Graham Cullen were released. Clutching his hair frustratedly, he paced back and forth. He couldn't believe he was fooled. He had bribed a certain doctor who works at Cullen hospital a year ago and he told him that Graham Cullen had died Immediately after the accident and that the Cullens were fooling everyone which he believed. What nonsense was he hearing now. Thinking for a moment, he made a phonecall. When it was picked, he softened his voice even though he was raging inside. "Uhm... Good afternoon sir," he spoke. "Good afternoon. Why are you calling me?" "I-I don't know if you have seen the news about Graham Cullen waking up from comma," Freddie uttered nervously. "I saw them. I asked why you called me." "I was wondering about what we have to do next. I'm sorry for my incompetence on the previous job but I won't let you down this time I swear," said Freddie. "Listen, if you failed to finish him the previous time, then that's your problem. As for me, I don't want to involve myself in those matters anymore. Don't ever call me ever again Freddie or you will regret it. And lastly, don't call me your boss. It was simply a one time collaboration," and he hung up. Freddie frowned deeper after noticing that his so called boss was distancing himself from these matters. What made him more desperate was that Vikram had already found out that he was involved in Graham's accident. He smirked as he mumbled," So you think that you can get rid of me that easily?"

Away from that, Ethan was lazily laying down on the couch and he seemed to be thinking about something really important. While sipping on his drink, Alex came and sat opposite him. He looked at him before saying," I know the circumstances don't allow it but I think you should put the past behind and go for her. She truly loves you and you do too." "I was thinking about the same thing. But....she will leave me if she ever finds out the truth. And I don't want to go through the same thing again. These past few days..... I don't know but..... I feel like I love her so much that I could go crazy if I lose her," said Ethan.

"Well, I think avoiding her with excuses of business trips won't help you either. Start a new with her and maybe, when the time ever comes for the truth to come out, she will be so deeply in love with you to leave you."

"I know Bella Edwards so very well. She may look like a carefree woman but she's so nice. She is so kind and she has her own principles. She will definitely leave me if she finds out," said Ethan. "Then you will try your best and get her back. Or, you tell her the truth yourself other than hearing it from someone else." "Are you crazy Alex!! I would never,"

Ethan exclaimed after which passed his fingers through his thick black hair frustratedly.
