Chapter 70: Chapter 70

Isn’t he the boy Noel beat up. So.. this is his daddy. Why did he even take me here? Then my eyes fell on the woman who was walking towards us with a beautiful smile. It’s this baby’s mother.

“Welcome home Marianna” She smiled brightly at me and hugged me. I have no idea what was going on but I really liked them and they all felt so familiar.

“Why do you call me Marianna?” I asked as she sighed and looked at the man who brought me here.

“Because you’re my sister and you were the young lady of our family. I don’t know how that bastard brainwashed you but believe me Mari there’s no way you are going back to him again. Everything is enough and he’ll pay for what he did” What? How could he tell that? I can’t stay without Ryan.

“You can’t do that. He’s my husband and I have children. I want to go back. I can’t live without them” I looked at him and said because I should definitely go to Ryan and Noel. I can’t stay here without them. Even my unborn baby wants her father.

“You’ll understand princess. Gwen, take her to her room” With that he turned and left. My heart was covered with hurt because I didn’t want to stay here. I want to go to Ryan.

“Stop. Don’t.. Please let me go. My son will be upset if I couldn’t stay home when he comes back. Please.” I quickly strode after him and grabbed his hand. He looked at me with a hurt look and shook his head.

“It’s been so damn years Marianna, finally I found you but you want to go to that man.” His eyes again covered with tears but they didn’t come out. Is he really my brother?

“It’s enough Marianna, you’ve already given birth to a son for him and you’re again carrying his child so that’s enough. Give birth to this child and divorce” My heart shook violently. Divorce? No.. I don’t want that.

“I love him. I can’t divorce. Please don’t force me to divorce him” as soon as he heard my words his face grew dark.

“You love him? Ha? Don’t you love me and our lost parents? Oh you don’t remember. Listen to me carefully Mariann Holland. Our mother died because she couldn’t bear the pain losing her beloved daughter and newborn son. Then after her death our father became a living dead man because he couldn’t bear anything, losing his wife, his daughter and only a few months old son so one day he was shot against his forehead and died.” My heart hurt in the same way it felt years ago when I found out about Noah’s death. I looked at him and saw tears in his eyes. Losing the most important people in his life. He was just hurt.

“So I was there, while looking at every calamity. So I survived to find both of you and especially thanks to that woman. So you better listen to me or I’ll fucking kill that bastard husband of you” He pointed his finger at his wife and shouted at me. I was scared because of his angry voice but I couldn’t understand the feeling inside of me. Tears welled in my eyes as I clutched my dress tightly. He watched me for a while and left. I watched him drive his car away and my heart covered with emptiness.

“Marianna, let’s go in. Don’t mind him. He’s always angry.” I looked at the woman who just came and hugged my shoulders with a smile. She sighed as she spoke about him.

“Is he really my brother?” I asked her while wiping my tears. She gently pinched my cheek and nodded.

“Yeah, Mark is your big brother and that is your grandpa” She showed me the elderly man and said. I nodded at her and went into the house with her.

“Wait, my name is Marianna what?” I stopped and asked her because I just remembered what Mark said earlier.

“Holland. Marianna Holland.” What? Marianna Holland? Me? Am I the same woman that Ryan said? My heartbeat increased.

“So, Ryan. Did we know each other when I was a kid?” She looked at me for a while and her eyes fell on grandpa.

“Yeah, he was once Mark’s best friend and he came here always and I don’t need to hide the truth Marianna, there was an engagement plan between both of you” Grandpa spoke with a sigh and my heart was covered with hurt. So it was me? But why didn’t Ryan tell me? He could’ve told me. I don’t think he didn’t know anything.

“I.. I didn’t know anything. What happened to me?” I asked him as he smiled gently and came to me.

“Rest now. I’ll tell you later. Don’t argue with Mark when he gets back because he really has a bad temper.” I nodded at him and followed Gwen as she led me into a room.

As soon as I entered the room, my heart covered with a familiar feeling and sadness. It was a room of a little girl but the room was big. So many teddy bears and so many dolls. I looked around through the room and entered.

“Don’t you remember me playing with you in here? We once argued over that bear” She spoke suddenly and showed me a beautiful black and red mixed teddy bear. I looked at her and her eyes were filled with tears.

“You didn’t give it to me so Mark bought another one for me, same as this but you cried and hit Mark after you found it” She wiped her tears and smiled at me. Did I do that?

“I missed you so much Marianna. I missed our fights over Mark and toys” She hugged me and spoke through her broken voice and I found myself shedding tears while hugging her tightly.

“Why did I fight with you over Mark?” I asked her as she smiled at me and shook her head.

“You didn’t like it when he paid his attention to me. You said he was all yours and I’m annoying but you know Mark was always mine” She said with a proud look and I nodded at her with a smile.

“Okay. he’s yours,” I teased her as she giggled. Then her eyes fell on my belly.

“Checked the gender?” She asked.

“Hmm. a girl” She smiled brightly at me and nodded. Then she bit her lower lip and looked at me.

“I.. I’m also pregnant but don’t tell Mark. He doesn’t know. I didn’t tell him because he’s annoying and he always stays home without going to his office” She spoke with a shy expression and I smiled. Same as Ryan. He intentionally stays home with stupid reasons and he was also annoying. If I didn’t force him to go to work he’s still at home.
