✨Chapter 5✨
Julia was sadder as she remembered her wedding day that seemed like a few days ago. Even her best friend was happy for her then but everything just suddenly changed in the blink of an eye.
She took of the ring and threw it on the floor after which she returned to her room and slept without eating.
Next morning
Julia was getting dressed for work when she got a call from Mia, her secretary.
"Good morning boss" Mia greeted
"Morning Mia. Why did you call so early?" Julia asked and continued getting ready for work
"There are so many reporters in front of your house right now ma'am. They want to know what happened between you and Dylan so I suggest you don't come to work today" Mia advised
"Why will I stay at home just because of them? I will come to work no matter what" Julia said
"They are very many and they are also at Dylan's mansion. Please stay inside until things die down a bit" Mia said
"Do you know when things will die down? It will take over a week considering Dylan's fame" Julia flared up
"Yes, but it doesn't matter. We will take care of things here so please just stay indoor and look after your health" Mia said
Julia ended the call afterwards and sat on the bed. She wondered how her simple and quiet life turned out like this.
All she wanted was to get married to someone she loves and someone that feels the same way towards her. She thought Dylan was the perfect person for her considering the way he treated her while they were dating but it turns out that her dream of living a happy life will remain a dream forever.
Her pregnancy crossed her mind but she quickly shrugged the thoughts off. The baby is probably not even a foetus yet so she won't think about it now until her belly starts protruding.
She took off her clothes and lay on the bed while staring at the ceiling.
"Reporters are outside my house so I can't go anywhere right now. What should I do then?" she asked herself
"Since there are reporters at Dylan's mansion, it will be live and I can watch it too. I'm really curious to see what Dylan is going to say about us" she said and took out her phone while staring at the life page anxiously
Dylan's mansion
Dylan was getting ready for work when Nicole suddenly got a call. She was told that there are reporters at Dylan's mansion and the reporters were many.
"Uhhm... Babe, I think we should stay back at home today" Nicole said to Dylan
"Why? I just resumed at the company, I can't afford to waste any time or they will soon figure out that I lost my memory" Dylan said
"They won't figure it out if you are absent for just two to three days" Nicole stated
"Two to three days? It's not just for today? Tell me what exactly is going on" Dylan demanded
"There are reporters outside and they are very many" Nicole said
"Reporters? Why are reporters outside?" Dylan asked
"You remember the lady you saw yesterday? Her name is Julia. I don't know why she's so obsessed with you that she would even go to this extent" Nicole said angrily
"What did she do?" Dylan asked interestedly
Nicole wasn't happy with the fact that he paid full attention after hearing Julia's name but she knew it was only a matter of time and he will forget about her soon.
"She hired those reporters and told them you guys were married. She paid a lot of money to circulate it online and people are saying so many bad things about you" Nicole said
"Is there no one among them that knows the truth?" Dylan asked
"She did it in a way that only specific people can drop comments on the post and most of them are people she paid. You know she's very rich so something like this is just a piece of cake for her" Nicole said
"Is that why you don't want me to go to work? Just forget about that and get dressed" Dylan said and went downstairs
Nicole smiled happily after Dylan left. After all, her plan was close to getting accomplished with each passing day.
They both got into the back seat of the car and the driver drove them out of the gate. The reporters refused to let them pass unless Dylan steps down to answer their questions.
"I'm going to give them a piece of my mind since they won't let us go" Dylan said and was about getting down from the car
"Remember that you can't let them know that you found out they were paid to do this. Just answer few of their questions and get back to the car" Nicole said while holding him back
"Sure, I will do that" Dylan agreed and got down from the car
"Mr Dylan, tell us what happened between you and your wife, Miss Julia" a reporter asked
"Mr Dylan, why did you choose your wife's best friend out of all women in this world? Even if you don't love your wife anymore, you can't introduce her best friend as your fiancee" another reporter said
"Mr Dylan, you were so happy with your wife and you were the best couple in town. Why did you suddenly change towards her after just few weeks of getting married?" a reporter asked again
"I don't know what you are talking about but I'm only going to say one thing" Dylan said and the reporters kept quiet to listen to him
"There is only one woman I love in this world and she is Nicole Jose. I don't care about whoever I loved in the past. What matters is that Nicole is the only woman I love right now and we will be getting married soon" Dylan concluded and got back into the car
The remaining questions asked by the reporters were ignored and he went to the company.
Julia watched the video over and over again and she couldn't believe her ears. She read the caption of the video to be sure it was really Dylan even though it was obvious in the video that it's Dylan.
Dylan didn't say anything about her and the only person he claimed to love was her own best friend. She looked forward to the life video because she wanted to hear what he will say about her but he didn't even mention her name. The only name he mentioned was Nicole Jose. She couldn't control the tears that rolled down her cheeks.
Was Dylan only using her for over two years? He told her every day that he loved her and wanted to spend the rest of his life with her but all of a sudden, he discarded her and cut all ties with her.
She wiped her tears and wore her clothes for the second time. Not caring about the number of reporters that were waiting outside, she got into her car and drove out of the gate, heading to Dylan's company.
