✨Chapter 4✨
After staying indoor for a whole week, Julia was finally able to get a hold on herself. She woke up on that Monday morning and got dressed for work.
She went to the company and the staffs greeted her as usual but she noticed they were murmuring among themselves when she arrived.
"What news is circulating this time?" she asked Mia who came into her office about thirty minutes later
Mia hesitated to say what was happening and Julia noticed it.
"It's okay, you can say it" Julia assured
"Well, your husband went to work today. There was news that he was absent for a few days. When he finally went today....." Mia paused
"It's fine, continue" Julia said
"He went to work today with your best friend and introduced her as his fiancee" Mia concluded
"Is that all?" Julia asked
"How can you be so calm about this? That prick needs to be have his balls cut off so that he won't think about cheating again" Mia spat angrily while Julia bursted into laughter
"Okay. If you think his balls need to be cut off, why don't you help me with it?" Julia joked
"Anyway, just forget about that. I stopped staying in his house for some time already do he's free to get married to someone else. You can go now" Julia added
After Mia shut the door behind her, Julia released the shaky breath she had been holding. She was only pretending like she wasn't affected because she didn't want to look weak before anyone.
Tears rolled down her cheeks and she couldn't believe the fact that the two people she held dearly in her heart could betray her like this.
"Why did he get married to me in the first place then? We only recently got married and it's not like he was able to get anything from me so why did he marry me if he knew he liked my friend? He should have just told me that he liked her from the start" she cried
For the rest of the day, Julia couldn't do anything. She closed every file on her table and told her secretary to not come in and not let anyone in.
Dylan's company
Nicole refused to tell anyone in the company that Dylan lost his memories even though everyone knew his behavior was strange.
"Why can't I tell them I lost my memory? That will make them help me out a little" Dylan asked when they were alone in his office
"If you tell them you lost your memory, they will try to steal your company from you. Just trust me and pretend like everything is fine. If you keep coming to work for the next two to three months, you will get a hang of everything and you will be able to start managing the company properly again" Nicole said
"Alright, I will listen to you then" Dylan said
When they got back home, they noticed that a car was parked beside Dylan's mansion.
Nicole recognized the car as Julia's own so she didn't want Dylan to check it out but he refused.
Dylan got down from the car and went to Julia's car. He knocked on the window and Julia wind down the glass.
When Dylan saw who it was, he was surprised. It was the same woman he saw and the same woman that refused to leave his head.
"You again? Why do you keep coming here?" Dylan asked
Nicole already got down from the car and she quickly went to meet Dylan.
"Baby, let's go in" Nicole said and left with him
Julia actually closed early from work and came to wait for Dylan at his mansion. She was hurt after he asked her why she kept coming and she was even more hurt when he left with Nicole.
She drover her car in tears and returned to her mansion. When she got home, she noticed a car was also waiting outside her house. As she drove in, the car followed behind her.
She waited in her car for a while before getting down. When she came down, the guy in the other car was already down too.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" she asked the strange man
"You don't remember me? Over a month ago at the hotel, we had a good time, remember?" he smirked
"You have the guts to come to my house after what you did?" Julia asked in surprise
"Why are you acting like you didn't enjoy it? You moaned the whole time" the man whose name was Roy Albert said
"Wow! You must have really lost it" Julia said and called the police
"Who are you calling?" Roy asked with a smile
"The police. After calling the police, I'm going to file a case in court" Julia smiled back
The smile on Roy's face vanished and he gulped hard. He didn't want to have anything to do with the police.
"Please don't call the police. We can talk about this and I'm only here because of the baby. I heard you are pregnant and I know the child belongs to me so I want to get married to you and take care of the child" Roy pleaded
"I already knew you were mentally unstable from the start. You want to get married to me? I guess you asked someone to follow me, seeing how you know about my pregnancy. I'll add that to the charges" Julia said
"Please Julia, I can explain everything to you" Roy said
"I never said I needed your explanation. Are you going to leave now or I should really call the police?" Julia asked
"I....I will leave but I will come back again so think about what I said" Roy said and left in his car
Julia managed to drag her feet inside and sat on the floor. She wasn't even okay and that stranger showed up and added to her pain.
As tears rolled down her cheeks, she touched the ring on her finger. It was her wedding ring and it made her remember her wedding day.
Flashback
Julia felt it was the happiest day of her life. She had been in a relationship with Dylan Gerald for the past two years and they were finally getting married today.
"Nicole, pinch me so that I can be sure I'm not dreaming" she said excitedly
Nicole pinched her really hard and she screamed in pain and slapped her hand away.
"You are so mean" she pouted her lips and rubbed her shoulder that she pinched
"Come on! You asked me to pinch you and I just did that, why are you now making me look like a bad friend?" Nicole asked with an eye roll
"Anyway, I'm glad it's real. I've waited for today for so long" Julia grinned
"Do you Julia Louis take Dylan Gerald as your lawfully wedded husband, to love and to cherish until death do you apart?" Julia asked in the priest's voice
"I do" she answered in her normal voice
"Do you Dylan Gerald take Julia Louis as your lawfully wedded wife to love and to cherish until death do you apart?" Julia asked again in the priest's voice
"I do" she answered in Gerald's voice and covered her hot cheeks
"You've definitely gone crazy" Nicole joked
"Yes! I think I'm crazily in love with Dylan. What should I do?" she asked with a pout
"The makeup artist and stylist are here so behave yourself and get dressed quickly. We don't have much time" Nicole said and left
Julia nodded her head and sat down while staring at herself in the mirror. After she was done dressing up, she got into the car and went to church.
Her parents are late so her uncle was the one that acted as a father.
"How I wish my parents were still alive to witness this day. Their little Julia is now a grown up and is getting married today" Julia thought to herself
She made sure to control her emotions since there were so many people and fixed her gaze on Dylan. Just seeing his face puts a smile on her face and for some reason, he was looking more handsome.
The wedding started and the priest joined them together, making them husband and wife.
