Chapter 45
Stephen took his cellphone and dialed the number of his uncle, Mr. C .
Kelly was restless so she walked away because she didn't want to listen to the conversation between Stephen and his uncle.
"Why am I nervous?" Kelly said while drinking a glass of cold water.
"Why do I feel so weird?" she whispered as she placed the glass on the table.
"Sweetheart!"
Kelly was nervous when she heard Stephen calling her.
"Why? You seem excited, Is there any good news?"
Stephen took a deep breath and held Kelly's hands.
"Good news because you can start working this Monday at the Company," Stephen let out a sweet smile while staring at Kelly.
"Do I really have a job?"
Kelly could hardly believe what she heard because it was her first time to work in a Company.
"Uncle has a good heart and is willing to help people who need work."
Kelly was suddenly silent and her face showed sadness.
"Sweetheart, are you okay? Please don't worry because Auntie Helena won't see you and she's always busy in the office."
"I'm worried that your Auntie might embarrass me in front of my colleagues at work."
Kelly's tears flowed.
"Just trust me, I'll take care of you."
Meanwhile, Adrian is upset because he and Jhanice always don't understand each other.
He walked to the edge of the swimming pool to pass his anger but suddenly he tripped and fell down.
Their assistant quickly ran towards Adrian because she saw her boss lying down.
"Help! Let's help Sir Adrian!" the assistant screamed in fear.
The assistant caught up with Adrian touching his forehead.
"Sir, why? what happened? Did you hit your head?" asked the assistant stuttering.
Adrian nodded but suddenly lost consciousness.
"Sweetheart!" Jhanice shouted.
"Ma'am, I saw sir lying down and suddenly he lost consciousness," the assistant reported.
"Call the driver let's take him to the hospital!" Jhanice's voice trembled.
The maid ran away to call their driver.
"Sweetheart! Sweetheart!"
"Wake up! What happened to you?" Jhanice cried as she shook Adrian's shoulder.
Adrian growled and opened his eyes.
"Kelly! Kelly!"
"Do not leave me!" Adrian shouted while staring at Jhanice.
Even though what she heard from Adrian hurt her, she ignored it.
"Sweetheart! Are you okay?"
Jhanice hugged Adrian and their family driver arrived just in time.
"Help me, let's take him to the hospital!"
Jhanice said in her nervous voice.
"No need, I want to rest here at home!"
Jhanice noticed that Adrian was still not in the mood and he was staring at her intently.
"Sweetheart, you need to see a doctor!"
Adrian ignored Jhanice's suggestion to him and turned his gaze to their driver.
"Please carry me to my room."
The driver picked up Adrian and brought him to his room. Jhanice followed the two because she was confused and worried for Adrian. The driver gently laid Adrian on his soft bed.
"Thank you very much, you can go out," said Adrian in a calm voice.
The driver got out and Jhanice entered Adrian's room.
"Sweetheart, I'm worried about you," Jhanice said in her soft voice.
"Sweetheart? Aren't you supposed to call me babe?" There was anger in Adrian's tone.
"Babe and sweetheart are what I called you. Is there something wrong with that?"
Jhanice's forehead was wrinkled because she couldn't understand Adrian.
"How long are you going to pretend to me that you were my girlfriend!"
Adrian glared at Jhanice.
"What are you talking about? I don't understand you!" Jhanice asked confused.
"You lied to me! Why did you pretend to be my girlfriend then?" Adrian's eyes almost bulged with anger.
Jhanice didn't say anything and her body was shaking.
"What kind of person are you! You have no heart!"
Adrian's eyes widened with anger.
"What does this mean? Has your memory returned?" she stammered.
Adrian shook his head.
"Why did you do this to me? Why did you force yourself on someone you don't even know?"
Adrian shouted as he hit his hand on the bed.
"Adrian, forgive me," Jhanice responded while sobbing.
"Your mommy and my daddy are in charge of all this! I ran away because I didn't want to marry you but my daddy put me in jail, so I had no choice but to agree to marry you!"
Adrian was still not convinced and he gave Jhanice an even more evil look.
"Why did you deceive me? Why didn't you tell me the whole truth? Why did you pretend to be who you are?" Adrian screamed.
"I'll admit that I was against the plan of our parents to get us married but when I first saw you I suddenly changed my mind, because I liked you and I'm ready to do everything to have you because I've fallen in love with you," she cried.
"Why did you pretend to be Kelly? Don't you feel guilty for what you did to her?" Adrian shouted as he glared at Jhanice.
"Yes, I feel guilty because Kelly is my friend," Jhanice's tears flowed.
"How did you become friends with someone like Kelly? How did you meet her?" Adrian frowned as he clenched his fist.
"We met in jail because your mommy put her in jail because she was a thief!
Adrian was surprised by what he heard.
"Kelly is not a thief because I know her well!"
Jhanice giggled.
"Are you proud that you have a thief girlfriend?
Your mommy sent her to jail for stealing her expensive jewelry!"
Adrian shook his head.
"That's not true! You just accused Kelly for your own personal interest!" Adrian's eyes flashed with anger.
"It's up to you if you don't want to believe it!" Jhanice scoffed.
"I'm leaving I need to talk to Kelly right now! She needs to know that my memory has returned!"
"You're not leaving! Maybe you forgot that we're married and you can't see any girl you like!"
Jhanice was nervous because Kelly might take Adrian away from her.
"Maybe you forgot our pre-nuptial agreement or maybe I have to tell you again that our marriage can be annulled if someone cheats on me while I temporarily lost my memory!"
Jhanice was nervous as her hands went numb.
"Don't leave me! I'm your wife and don't trade me for that trash!"
Jhanice's voice was almost hoarse but Adrian ignored her.
"Don't talk to Kelly like that! She has a good heart and she's not like you!" Adrian glared at Jhanice.
"I'm begging you! Don't leave!" Jhanice shouted as her tears flowed.
"Don't stop me! I need to know the whole truth!" Adrian said in an aggressive voice as he left.
Adrian quickly left the room.
"Sir, are we leaving?" asked the driver.
"Take me to Stephen's resthouse right now!" Adrian ordered.
While talking, Stephen and Kelly heard a car honking outside their gate so Stephen ran quickly to take a look at the car outside but Stephen was familiar with the car so he immediately opened the gate.
Adrian got out of the car.
"Cousin, why did you come?" Stephen asked confused.
Adrian rarely visited him so he was surprised.
"I'm here to talk to Kelly," Adrian replied as he put his hand in his pants pocket.
"Why? What do you need from her and you came here yourself? Why didn't you just order your driver to take Kelly here?" Stephen said while doubting Adrian's actions.
"Why did you forbid me to see my girlfriend!"
Adrian snorted as he glared at Stephen.
"What does this mean!" Stephen was nervous because his suspicion seemed to be true.
"My memory is back! I want to talk to Kelly!"
Adrian's voice rang out.
"Cousin calm down, let's talk peacefully," Stephen hissed.
"What am I going to do! You're one of them too, you tricked me! You hid the whole truth from me and none of you told me anything about Kelly!" Adrian gritted his teeth.
"Your mommy forbade me to get close to you, so I couldn't help anything and also I don't know what your mommy and Jhanice are doing because your mommy sent me to America," Stephen tried to calm his voice.
"How can I believe you huh! You wanted me to know nothing because you hid Kelly!" he snorted.
"Please, I'll explain to you. I adopted Kelly because she had no other relatives and I was helping her."
"You cheater! You took the opportunity because you like Kelly!" Adrian punched Stephen in the stomach.
"Stop it!" Kelly shouted as she approached Stephen.
Stephen could barely move because of the pain in his stomach.
“Why did you hurt Stephen?” Kelly shivered as she hugged Stephen.
"Sweetheart, I'm leaving so you and my cousin can talk properly."
Even though Kelly did not agree, Stephen did leave.
"Babe! How are you?" Adrian asked in an excited tone.
Kelly didn't move and seemed stunned.
"Babe, my memory is back, I'm happy that we can finally be together," Adrian said happily as he hugged Kelly tightly.
"Please don't hug me, it's really wrong!" Kelly said as she pushed Adrian.
"Why? Don't you have any love for me?" Adrian replied sadly.
"Forgive me, but I realize that I love someone else," Kelly said while giving Adrian a pitiful look.
"You only said that because I'm already married to Jhanice but I can annul our marriage if it's proven that she's not my real girlfriend," Adrian said while holding Kelly's hands.
"I thought my heart couldn't replace you but now I'm in love with someone else, I can't deceive myself," Kelly sobbed.
"I know you, I know you're afraid of ruining my family because Jhanice and I already have children, but I can fix everything!" Adrian said in a serious voice.
"Children? Adrian, Jhanice deceived you, the twins are our children, I was 2 weeks pregnant when you went to America," Kelly's tears flowed.
"What? I thought you were the surrogate mother of our twins!" Adrian was shocked.
