Chapter 69: Chapter 69

A week passed and Julianna didn’t even look at me or talk to me. The only thing she let me do was feel her belly. I was glad because she let me feel my little princess. Everyday when I came home I bought her flowers and she always took it with a small smile on her face and it was enough for me. Julianna couldn’t be heartless towards me so she checked on me everyday without showing me it but she was still angry. Damn..

“Daddy, I want to go to the office with you today” Noel came and hugged my leg. I looked down and stroked his hair.

“Mommy is alone when you go with me.” I fixed my dress and picked him up.

“I asked mommy. She said I can go” I sighed and took Noel out of the room and saw Julianna was braiding her hair while looking at the puppy I bought for Noel.

“Winsy, come here” I watched her play with the puppy and she was just like a small kid.

“Julianna, is it okay if I take him with me?” I asked her. She looked at me and nodded with a smile. That smile made my heartbeat go wild. It’s been a fucking week since I saw her smile like this.

“Alright then, I’m going” I went to her and kissed her forehead. She looked up at me and nodded.

“Wait for me.” I said as she kissed my cheek. I smiled at her and left the home with Noel. I don't but for some unknown reason I was feeling weird. I shook that thought away and went to the office.

~ Julianna ~

After Ryan and Noel left I went to the room because I was tired and sleepy. I have no idea how many hours I slept but I was woken up by the loud bang. What the hell was that? I got up from the bed and walked downstairs. As I went downstairs the first thing I saw was a man pressing a gun against uncle Haden’s forehead. Uncle Haden was kneeling, what happened?

“Where the fuck is she? You know what I’m talking about” Suddenly he shouted and pulled the trigger.

“No.. let him go” I didn’t expect my voice to come out suddenly. My body shook violently and unintentionally my hands covered my belly. I didn’t want anything to happen to my baby. Ryan is also not here. My eyes covered with tears because I was just helpless.

“Young lady go in” Uncle Haden spoke but I shook my head and walked towards him. I looked at the man who was pressing a gun against uncle Haden’s and saw his eyes were filled with tears as he looked at me.

He’s so handsome, grey eyes and dark brown hair. He’s familiar. Wait, why does he look like Noah? Suddenly his tears rolled down from his eyes as he removed the gun away from uncle Haden’s forehead and walked towards me unintentionally I took a few steps back.

“Little princess come here, come to big brother” He spread his arms and smiled at me. Wait, his voice was familiar. I’ve heard this voice before. Urghh… my head hurts. Big brother?

He came and hugged me tightly. His scent, it’s familiar but I don’t know this man. How could I let him hug me so I quickly pushed him away.

“Don’t touch me… wh.. Who are you?” He looked at me with an extremely hurt look. Then his eyes fell on my belly and suddenly those gentle eyes turned cold.

“Marianna, it’s me. Mark. don’t you remember your Mark bear? It was me” What? Marianna? Is he crazy? Mark? I’ve never heard this name.

“I don’t know you. Please leave now or I’ll call my husband” I warned him because I wanted him to leave.

“Marianna, come with me. That bastard doesn’t deserve you” With that he grabbed my hand hugged me tightly.

“You’ve misunderstood. My name is Julianna. I’m sorry. Please leave” I tried to push him away but I couldn’t because of his strength.

“Julianna? Heh. I see, you don’t remember” He kissed my forehead and caressed my hair with a painful smile.

“Master Holland, please let go of young lady.” Uncle Haden spoke as he tried to defend me.

“Tell your young master that I took what’s mine” He said with a strict voice that was filled with hatred.

“Let me go. I’m not yours. I have a husband and a son. Please let me go.” My tears rolled down because I had no idea who this man was and why he was here but his words made me fear.

“Marianna, you should go home with me. This is not your home. You’re living with the man who caused everything. How could you become a member of the Winston family? We clearly lost everything because of them” He said with a broken voice and I didn’t know how to react. Why do I feel like listening to this man?

“You’re going with me Marianna. Be a good girl and listen to your brother” I looked up at him and saw his eyes were sharp and cold. With that he took me out of the house ignoring mine and uncle Haden’s words. He opened the door of his car and forcefully pushed me into the passenger seat as he closed the door and locked it after buckling the seat belt for me. Then he again walked into the house and came after a few minutes.

“Where are you taking me?” I asked him as he got into the car. He looked at me and sighed as he caressed my face. I didn’t dodge his touch because it felt so familiar.

“To home. Where you lived years ago” With that he started the car and drove away.

After some time we arrived at a big mansion. My heart began to beat so fast because of the sight in front of me. Sadness surged into my mind but I didn’t know why. I looked at the huge garden and saw it was filled with maple leaves. It’s beautiful.

“Remember anything?” He stopped the car and asked me to sighed and shook my head. There was something in my head but I can’t remember it.

“It’s okay you’ll remember soon princess” He smiled and kissed my forehead. As we got out of the car I saw an old man who was smiling at me gently. We walked towards him as he pulled me to a hug.

“See who’s back” He chuckled and kissed my forehead. I was just confused and I don’t know any of them.

“Aunty, I knew daddy would take you back home. See, I was waiting” A little boy ran towards me and stopped inches away from me.
