Chapter six

Two years after Luke was sent to King's Island, he had completed his training. He wanted to rush back after a year just like he promised but, he was not allowed to leave. Immediately after he got back, the first thing he did was start looking for the girl he spent a night with. It wasn't easy but with the help of the connections he had made when he was on kings island, he made progress almost three years after coming back. After vigorous searching, he found out that she was from the Grey family. Mr. Grey owns a news agency and it's quite popular. Information that he gathered was that she was a child from that family and she had gone to that party with her sister.

After finding out about her family, he didn't waste any time and told his parents about what happened. He also told them that he would want to marry her. His parents who were still feeling guilty about sending him to Kings island agreed without any questions. He approached her family and told them of his intentions to marry their daughter. Of course, Bella's parents were happy. They introduced Lily to Luke. When Luke voiced out his concerns that the girl he remembered wasn't Lily, Lily's mother and lily formed a plan.

Since Luke met Lily, they had been meeting outside almost every day. Whenever they met, Luke would always ask her one question or the other about that night. One of the things that gave him great concern was her eye color. He was sure that the girl he slept with had blue eyes but the one he is with doesn't. She has black eyes. What could be wrong? The worst part is that he has some kind of dislike for her. She seems too pretentious for his liking. After work one day, he took her out. While they were eating, he decided to ask her about her eyes. "Lily, can I ask you a question?" He asked lily who was wearing a very revealing dress. The length was just too short. With the was she was sitting, he could practically see her panties.

"Sure, you don't even have to ask for permission before asking me anything. I am going to be your wife and you will be my husband so, there is nothing to be shy about. Ask whatever you want." Lily said with a seductive pose.

"What happened to your eyes?" He asked. He was trying not to show his disgust at her. The smell of her perfume was one of the things he hated the most about her.

Lily was taken aback by his question. What happened to her eyes? Why is he asking such a question? Is there something wrong with her eyes? She asked herself. After a while, she answered him. "Nothing is wrong with my eyes. Why do you ask?" She answered him.

Luke didn't take his eyes off her face as he asked another question. "Do you wear contact lenses?"

"No... Why would I use lenses? My eyes are okay. Why are you these questions?" Lily asked.

"No, it's nothing. Forget that I asked. I was just thinking that your eyes looked different." Luke said and drank from the wine in the glass he was holding. Lily tried to know what he was thinking by looking at his facial expression but was disappointed because the expression on his face didn't change.

"Luke," Lily called. Luke turned to her and raised his eyebrows so she continued. "When getting married? You didn't even want to make our relationship public. You came to my family and said you wanted to marry me but, since we started going out, you have never even kissed me. Why? Do I irritate you?"

Luke raised his eyebrows at her. He was tempted to tell her that she irritated him. He was about to open his mouth to reply but then, he thought of it and shook his head. "Are you in a hurry to get married to me?" He asked her.

Lily felt giddy with his question. Who wouldn't want to marry him? He is the youngest rich heir in the country. A lot of girls would kill to get him and she wasn't an exception. "Of course! I can't wait to become Mrs. Simone." She answered with a smile.

Luke was already getting fed up with Lily. He was just confused because, his investigations proved that the girl he slept with was from the Grey family but since he met Lily, he knew something was wrong. After their outing, he took Lily to her house. Months after he and Lily started going out, Lily's father became sick. After taking him to the hospital, the doctor only told them that he was stressed. Luke became suspicious when he wasn't getting better so, he had a test done on his secretly. That was when he found out that they had been poisoning him for a long time ago and that he wouldn't be able to survive. When Mr. Grey found out what they had done to him, he told Luke the truth. He told luke about Bella before he died.

After Luke found out the truth, he broke stopped going to visit Lily or even taking her calls. Lily tried to contact him several times but he refused to meet her. After the death of Bella's father, Luke settled things in his company and decided to go and look for Bella and also give her what rightfully belongs to her.

Back to the present...

After Bella walked away from Luke, tears started falling from her eyes. She would be lying if she said she wasn't hurt. Who wouldn't be hurt when they are reminded of their pains? Immediately she turned a corner, she placed her back against the walk for support. She covered her mouth and cried out all her pains. She was there for a while when she felt familiar arms wrap around her. She hugged her grandmother tightly and cried. "It's going to be okay my child! Whatever happens, just remember that your grandmother loved you and will always be here for you. It'll all be fine..." Her grandmother consoled her.

"Grandma! Grandma... What will I do?... That the father of my children... What do I do?" Bella asked between sobs.

Her grandmother pulled out of the hug and cleaned the tears running down Bella's cheeks and said. "Shhhh... We'll handle it all one step at a time. Why don't you go home and I'll come and see you in a while? When I come, we'll talk about all of these."

Bella shook her head and said. "No. I, I can't go home. I need to work. I can't be idle. I'll be in the kitchen." She cleaned her tears and smiled at her grandmother before saying. "Am sorry I am making you worried. I'll be fine. Call me when you need me. I'll be in the kitchen." She said and walked away leaving her grandmother behind.
