Chapter 37: Chapter 37

“I found out everything that happened Juli. I’m sorry” She hugged me back and said through her broken voice.

“Amelia what happened and why are you here?” I suddenly asked as I remembered that she started to live in a different city.

“Dad died and mom remarried and you know that man tried to rape me so I escaped.” She let out a deep sigh and smiled at me while hiding her sadness.

“When did you come here mily?” I asked her as she held my both hands.

“A few months ago” She smiled and pinched my cheek. She’s still the same.

“You’ve become so gorgeous” She looked at me and said while smiling at me.

“You too Amelia” I smiled and talked with her for a while and I wanted to know about her job.

“When did you start work here mily?” I asked as her expression changed. What happened to her?

“Two days before today” She sighed and forcefully smiled. Did something happen to her?

“What about your previous job? You did one right?” I asked her as she looked away from me and nodded. For some reason, I felt fear because I have no idea what happened to her and why she is acting strangely after I asked that.

“Something happened Juli so I resigned” She sighed and spoke with a low voice.

“What… What happened? Did anyone hurt you?” I asked because she was a good friend of mine and I just couldn’t ignore her. I looked at her and saw her expression change into an angry one suddenly.

“Juli do you know there’s a bastard called Chris Winston? He has a handsome face but an asshole. I lost my job because of that perverted jerk. Rich playboy. I’ll make him eat soil for what he did” I froze as she said that. Chris? Then I remembered that I also came here to two Winstons.

“Do I look like a whore that he sleeps with? Eww... Dumb gigolo. Winston's men think that they can have everything because of money. Idiots” Amelia kept blaming Chris and I slowly turned my head and looked at the man who was sitting in front of me. Ryan was already looking at me while tapping his fingers on the table. I let out a forceful smile as he raised his eyebrows.

“Aunty do you know uncle Chris? Don’t blame him. He’s my godfather” I heard Noel’s childish voice. Why did I forget these two?

“Julianna this?” Amelia stopped talking and looked at Noel and again looked at me.

“My son” I sighed with a smile.

“What? Son? Then who is the fa….” With that, she looked at Ryan and her eyes filled with horror. Amelia squeezed my hand and looked at me.

“Ryan Winston? Was he there a few minutes ago?” She whispered against my ear and I could feel her fear. I sighed and nodded my head.

“What should I do Juli?” Her eyes filled with tears because of the fear. I looked at Ryan who was already smirking at me.

“I’ll talk to him. Don’t worry” I patted her shoulder and said.

“Mommy. Who is she?” Noel asked with a curious face.

“She’s mommy’s best friend” I smiled at him and said. Noel nodded his head with a smile and looked at Amelia.

“So she’s my godmother? Noel asked while giggling. I looked at Amelia who was smiling at my son.

“Yeah. She is” I said as Amelia nodded her head.

“Great, now I have a godmother too” Noel was so happy as he giggled. Then I looked at Ryan who was still staring at me. What’s wrong with him?

“Julianna. Let’s meet again and talk. I should go now” With that Amelia left and I sat down on the chair again.

“Mmm Ryan. Don’t.. tell” I spoke as he smirked at me.

“Don’t what?” He cut me off before I could even say what I wanted.

“Don’t tell Chris okay? She’s my best friend and she’s innocent.” I sighed as I told him that. Then Ryan smirked at me and I knew he was thinking something. Pervert.

“She offended Winston's family. Didn’t she?” He asked me while smiling brightly at me. This man is so cunning and tricky.

“Ryan… What do you want?” I asked him because I already knew what he was thinking. Amelia was correct Winston men are really urgh…….

“You’re intelligent Julianna. Let me do it and I won't tell Chris” I knew… I knew he wanted that. He’s a pervert. Why do I have to stay with this man and Why did I even give birth to Noel for him?

“Ryan. Why don’t you find someone if you want that?” I asked him because he could get any woman he wanted but deep inside of me didn’t want him to go to another woman. Urghh… Why is myself betraying me?

“It disgusts me and my body only wants you.” He spoke with a serious tone and sighed. What does he even mean? I don’t believe that I’m the only woman he slept with.

“Yes, you’re the only woman” He suddenly spoke as my whole body froze. How could he even know what I was thinking? This is not the first time he guessed things correctly. Is he a mind reader or something? Urghh. Wait did he just say that I’m the only woman? So that means he never slept with women before that. Suddenly my heart was covered with happiness and I looked down from his gaze.

After having dinner Ryan took Noel to the kid's area to play and I went into the washroom. While I was washing my face I felt someone’s presence behind me. I looked at the person through the mirror and as soon as I saw that person my heart was covered with fear of losing someone that I like and wanted to stay with.

“Hello Julianna” I heard her voice as I turned and faced her. There’s no need for me to be scared of losing Ryan and Noel. They are mine. Wait... When did I become like Ryan? His possessiveness is also with me now. Urghh

“Hey” I simply smiled at her and said.

“I’m Natasha.” She smirked at me and said. I looked at her and found she was gorgeous with her fancy dress. I simply nodded at her and turned to leave but she stopped me.

“Julianna, let me warn you. Ryan is mine and I’m the woman he’s going to marry. You’re just a cheap woman who was his surrogate for once.” My heart shattered into pieces as I heard her hurtful words but I stayed calm and looked at her again and went out of the washroom.

“He’s mine and only I have the qualification to be his woman and his wife. A whore like you don’t deserve him.” I forced my tears back because her words felt like someone was digging my heart with sharp knives

“So?” I looked back at her and asked as her face grew dark with fury. Do I have to care? And I won’t be afraid of this woman.

“You better stay the fuck away from him.” She said as she clenched her fists. I watched her for a while and smiled.

“No. Why do I have to leave my man? And he’s my son’s father so you’re telling me to leave him? There’s no way that I’m going to leave my man”
