Chapter 148 Just perfect on you

"We have a guest already!" she said as soon as she entered and Luna thought that this was the perfect opportunity to introduce the two. "Yes Abigail, this is Bella Edwards my friend I've been telling you about," said Luna. Of course Bella knew Abigail Cullen.

Abigail looked at Bella with a wide grin on her face and said," It's a pleasure meeting you Bella. I've heard so many good things about you." Returning the same smile, Bella said" The pleasure is mine, Abigail. I've heard a lot of good things about you too. Thanks for being a good person to my friend." "You don't have to thank me. Luna is such a good soul, she's lovable. I'm so glad to have met her," she said.

When it clocked two in the afternoon, a number of guests and reporters had started arriving at the mansion and were therefore directed to the backyard. Inside the house, Rebecca who was moving caught sight of Vikram and called him. "Where's Ciara?" she asked as soon as he arrived. "She didn't want to come," he said. "Why? Is she sick?" "No. She didn't feel like coming," he said. Her eyes narrowed before she asked," Are you treating her right?" He chuckled before saying," You know i do." She looked at him suspiciously before he excused himself to go.

Rebecca had found out about Ciara's pregnancy and marriage after four months and from her parents. She was beyond shocked because they used to speak on phone almost everyday but Ciara never mentioned anything about it. Ever since she got married, she had never seen her again and was now wondering how she was doing. She loved her as a daughter because she saw her growing up.

Inside the room, the ladies were having their hair and makeup done. The door was opened and Rebecca came in with a grave expression on her face, "Almost all the guests are here. You're not yet done with just simple makeup?"

Bella internally rolled her eyes. She knew of how strict and principled Rebecca Cullen is. "We are soon getting done Mom," said Abigail. "I have gone with Dylan to meet the guests. You'll find us there," she said before leaving the room.

At a half past three, Luna, Abigail and Bella joined the guests in the backyard. They were dressed in beautiful dresses and all looked pretty. Graham who was speaking to some guests felt a certain presence and averted his eyes only to land on Luna who was speaking to Bella and Carter. She was dressed in a maroon dress that made her look seductively beautiful. It clung tight to her body accentuating her curves. It totally flaunted her thin waistline and made her ample bosoms look all the more prominent. It revealed just the right amount of cleavage and he couldn't wait to tear it off at the end of the day. Her hair styled in florish designs as her luscious lips were painted red. As if sensing someone looking at her, her eyes scanned the place only to meet his and she flashed him a charming smile. He immediately excused himself from the guests and made his way to where she was.

When he reached them, he gazed at Ethan and gave a small smile as he said," I'm pleased to see you here, Carter." "Thank you. I wouldn't miss this day for anything," he said. "Okay. Please excuse us for a second. We shall be right back," he said as he placed his hand on Luna's bare shoulder since the dress was strapless and took her away. "You look so tempting. Did you dress like this intentionally to distract me?" he asked. "Is it too much? I told Abigail that I didn't approve of it but she insisted. Do you think I should change this?" she asked. He looked at her red tinted lips and felt the urge to pounce on them. "I think this is less revealing than the one you wore at the Ball," he said. "But the Ball was in the evening and perhaps I had a mask," she argued as his eyes scanned the entrance and they caught sight of the guests that had arrived. "Don't change. It's just perfect on you. I would love to introduce you to some people," he said and he caught her hand in his as they slowly walked to the entrance.

The Howells had just reached the back yard when their eyes caught something unexpected. Well they knew they would see her but not this soon. They saw Graham Cullen making way towards them with her and when their eyes fell on her, they couldn't gaze away. Mrs Howells who had worn a mask looked at her daughter and she halted in her steps. She was really there, in flesh and blood. Lucas started trembling within when they reached them. Did Graham tell her already?
