Chapter 145 Played some tricks

The first time Ciara felt the baby inside her belly move, she couldn't believe it. It was an incredible feeling and due to excitement, she told Vikram and also called her mother to inform her about it. Ever since that day therefore, she vowed to love and take care of the little one in her belly. She also decided to try and make things work with Vikram because she wanted this baby to have a complete family. She then felt the little one moving and she massaged her bump with a small smile on her face. "She moved again?" asked Vikram and she nodded before asking," Why are you referring to it as a she?" "It's obvious that it's a girl," said Vikram. "Who told you that? You mean you won't like him if he's a boy?" "Of course not. I will love it despite the gender but I prefer a girl," he explained. He badly wanted a girl.

The next day, Graham informed Luna that he was going to Sun City to run some errands.

"Why? Why don't you wait for Dylan's birthday then go after that?" she didn't seem to like the idea. "I have to go. It's something really really important about the company there. I was told that it had issues that can't wait. I promise to return the day after tomorrow," he convinced her.

"But...why don't you just send someone there?" she insisted. "It needs me to go. I would have sent Vikram but his wife needs him more. I will come back, I promise," he assured and with that they concluded that he was traveling.

The next morning, Graham left for Sun City to work on the pending issues that needed his attention. In the afternoon, Bella came by and they spent the day together discussing how things greatly improved between their men. In the evening, Ethan came to pick her up then found the ladies in the attic having some tea and decided to sit with them for a while. He then thought that this was the perfect opportunity to confess something using the chance that Luna was present. Clearing his throat, he looked at Bella and said," I have something to confess."

Luna on noticing this attempted to give the two the space they needed when Ethan said," No Luna, please stay." She looked taken aback but she stayed as asked. "What is it?" Bella asked him. "I did something for you to get pregnant," he said and she looked at him puzzled before saying," Of course you did something. Literally everything." She didn't get what he meant. "That's not what I meant. I meant to say that I played some tricks." "I'm not getting what you're saying," she voiced. "I switched your after pills with vitamins. Such that you get pregnant," he said at once and Bella's eyes widened in surprise. No wonder she got pregnant even though she took the pills. "I said it because I don't want any secrets between us anymore," he said. "Why did you do it?" she asked. "Because I wanted a baby with you." "You're lying. You used our baby to make me forgive you," she said and stood up then walked away leaving him there. Luna saw the confusion in his eyes and said," She will be fine. We tend to easily lose our temper when we are pregnant." With that, he left to find her.

As soon as Graham landed in Sun City, he headed to the Howells residence. On reaching, he was welcomed since he had contacted Lucas Howells saying that he had something very important to talk to him about and that it should happen home.

He was led inside by the butler who asked him to sit before asking if he should offer him anything. Graham rejected saying he was fine and that he only wanted to talk to Mr Howells. He came a few moments later and on sitting he said," I've seen you somewhere." "Probably, I'm Graham Cullen. Pleasure to meet you Lucas Howells." "Yes, of course it's you. You're welcome to my home. I heard you have something important to talk about," he said and Graham nodded before saying," Yes I do. But first I would like to do that in front of the other family members." Lucas wondered what it was about but nonetheless, he told the butler to call them.

A while later, they heard a sound of steps descending the stairs and when Graham stared in the direction, he was taken aback by Cynthia's appearance. Her resemblance to Luna was unbelievable. He had already seen her in pictures but it was inordinate in person.

Behind her followed an elderly woman and both made their way to where Mr Howells was sitting before joining him. Cynthia gazed at Graham and said," What a pleasure hosting the car racing super star in our home! " She immediately recognized him. "The pleasure is mine. And it's former car racer, I'm into business now," he replied. "Okay then. To what do we owe this visit?" she asked and Graham greeted the elderly woman before saying," As if someone is missing?" Lucas nodded before answering," Our son is currently at office while our daughter is not in Sun City"
