The Light of Seto Kaiba's Life

Living a New Fearful Life

Previously...

Will Seto not love me anymore after seeing me like this? How will my son react? Should I feel afraid of those too? I took a calming breath. It's not Seto's fault for not being there for me when I got kidnapped, even though he is a workaholic. I'm just so scared to even think of what he will say to me, if he shows up. Hopefully he still plans on marrying me, if not I might as well move back to America at this point with Preston. I am so bothered by this to be honest.

"Move over! I need to see her!" I heard yelling and screaming coming from down the hall, hearing Seto's voice. Was he that worried about me? Next I know, he's standing in my room doorway. He stares at me, with tear stained cheeks. Seto cries this much over me?

"Julia.." He closed the door behind him and sat in the chair that was by my bed. My chest ached, the lump appeared in my throat. My expression was full of shock, he seemed so calm, especially after he yelled at the other nurses and doctors.

"S-Seto.." I whispered, with tears forming in my eyes this time. "I- I was so scared, Seto.." I told him quietly. He gently cupped my stitched up face and kissed me softly.

"I'm so sorry for not being there.." I choked out. I placed my hands on his cheeks and cleaned the tears from his face, as he did the same.

"Seto, are we still getting married?" I asked him, waiting for the worst. I looked like a monster.

"Of course." We shared another kiss and I couldn't help but melt. I loved this man, and I felt safe though he wasn't with me that one day. I hope something changes when I get out of here tomorrow.

Seto's POV

Today was Julia's first full day back, and she has done nothing. She hasn't worked, she hasn't even played with Preston. She just stayed in our room, scared to come out. 

"Julia, I'm walking in with Preston." I told her with our son in my hip. 

"Seto, no!" I heard her scream, but this was bizarre to me. Julia loved her son more than anything. But, she wasn't afraid of Preston. 

flashback..

I opened the door for Julia so she can sit comfortably in my car. 

"Seto.." She whispered to me seeming bothered as I took my place, and we both put on our seat belts. 

"What's bothering you now? You're coming home and you're finally going to see Mokuba and Preston." I asked her, not exactly trying to sound like an asshole. She fixed her small hands into fists in her lap and I noticed her eyes fill with tears. 

"I'm afraid to go home.." I didn't even start my engine and she pulls this card. Pinching the bridge of my nose, I sighed and took a moment to let her tell me why. "My son would be scared to approach me. I have stitches on my face. Scratches and scars on my arms and legs, I'm basically a monster, Seto.." She whimpered, and it was getting rather annoying. 

"You're a beautiful monster, babe. Everything is fine, Preston loves you. Mokuba and I love you." Her tears started to fall, and it hurt my chest. "Honey, stop crying." I rubbed her shoulder and she opened my glove box, getting the box of tissues out, and cleaned her face with a few of the tissues. 

"I love you." 

end of flashback..

"Julia, we love you. Let your son see you." I told her in a demanding voice, then turned the door knob, slowly opening the door.
