Chapter 104 Swallow his pride

He came back and joined her in bed. He asked," Let me hope no one has troubled you at work." "Of course not." "I might be coming back a bit late from now on. Hope you don't mind," he told her. "You have a lot to do?" she asked. "Yes. But it's just for a few weeks." "I don't mind coming by in the evening to help," she offered. "Don't worry. I will take care of it," he said. But she wanted to be with him. She decided to try once again," Or I can come and wait for you so that we return together." He was now troubled because he couldn't let her come simply because he had started training for the match and that's why he had started coming back late. He said," It will be exhausting for you. Don't worry." With that, she gave up and they went to sleep.

As the match was nearing, Freddie was up and down because he had gotten information that Graham was participating. That man sure did not give up. He had thought that he would never do car racing again because of the near death experience but he had once again exceeded his expectations. He had to plan the final blow this time. He decided to call Ethan Carter but as expected all his numbers were blocked. He used another number and when he picked up, he said," It's so nice hearing from you once again Ethan Carter." "I thought I made it clear when I told you not to call me again," came his cold voice.

"Yes you did but there's something you need to know. We have a match in three weeks and Graham Cullen is participating. I was thinking that it was the best opportunity for us to finish him," he said expectantly. He heard him sigh before saying," Listen carefully Freddie Cruise, it was never my intention since the beginning to kill Graham Cullen. I just wanted him to get hurt because I was upset about some issues but now that they are settled, I don't have any problem with him. I regret ever contacting you and it's from here that I warn you never to involve me in your business." With that, he hung up greatly angered. Ethan leaned his head on his seat and started thinking hard. He was now troubled because should anything happen to Graham at that match, he may not be able convince them that he was not part of it this time round. Luna will hate him more. She will definitely lose it and tell Bella who in turn will.....he doesn't even know what. He contemplated on what to do. Should he call Luna? But no, she hates him and definitely would not listen to him. Perhaps he should call Graham? He was confused on what to do.

In the end, he decided to swallow his pride and call Graham Cullen. It rang for quite sometime and later was picked," Yes Ethan Carter?" He was surprised that he knew his number but acted normal. "Good afternoon Graham Cullen." "Good afternoon. How can I be of help to you?" asked Graham. "I guess you already know that Freddie is planning something at the match," said Ethan and when he remained silent he continued," All I want you to know is that I don't have anything to do with it this time and I hope you rely my message to Luna." Graham was silent for a moment before saying," Are you doing this in good faith or you're only concerned about your girlfriend not finding out your deeds?"

"I won't explain because I know you won't believe me. That is all I wanted you to know. Have a nice day and take care of Luna," he hung up after saying those words.

Elena had finally gotten information that Luna was in Blue City and that she was working in a coffee processing company. It was a good start to execute her plans.

As days passed, Luna noticed that Graham became busier and her heart ached for him. He woke up early, ran a multi-billion company and also returned so late. He also started working on weekends. It was a Sunday and she was taking Dylan to the amusement park and she wished he was with them. When they reached the park, they lined up and got their tickets before entering but unknown to them, they were being watched by a certain man from a distance. He later made a call," She has entered the amusement park with her son." "Okay. Keep an eye on them. I want to know where she stays," said Elena. "Okay."

When the day came to an end, they left the park and as Luna was moving towards her car, she turned and looked around all of a sudden. She felt like she was being watched by someone but given the many people around, she couldn't pinpoint who it was. She decided to hurry and on entering the car, it started and left but not before sweeping her eyes all over the place.
