Scaled Love

Chapter 16

Flashbacks.

Each time she tries to fall asleep, she dreams of him. She has no idea who he is. But she can't do this to Theo who has been nothing but good to her.

He is her husband.

The Dream.

"Arian, please listen to me. I know that you love me as much I love you", he breathes out as he brushes his lips against hers.

"Please", he whispers as he leans to kiss her again but this time with no regrets from the both of them.

She wrapped her legs around his waist and pulled him closer, feeling his hardness rub against her.

"I don't want you to stop" Arian whispers in his ears as he can feel his hands gripping harder on her ass as he led her to their bedroom.

Arian caresses the tattoo on his chest.........

End Of Dream.

She wakes up sweating all over. Theo doesn't have tattoos, who is he?

Arian needed to find out who he is. But the main question is how does she do that without hurting Theo.

She walked out of her room and went to the kitchen to get a glass of water.

Ever since she moved in with Theo, he has been good to her, and he has also given her, her room.

What if they are memories from my past? Maybe he was someone I met but I never had a boyfriend before Theo.

"Hey, couldn't sleep?" Theo asked her when she walked into the kitchen.

"Yeah, sorry did I wake you?" she asks him. But he shook his head telling her no.

"No, I couldn't sleep either. I came to get a glass of water".

Arian turned to face Theo. She needed answers but didn't want to make Theo feel that she was cheating on him with the guy in her dreams.

"Theo, can I ask you a question?".

"Sure, go ahead".

"Did we love each other?" Arian asks him.

"Arian...."

"No, enough. Tell me the truth. I deserve to know".

Theo took a sit on the chair and cleared his throat.

This is it. Mandy, I wish you were here to help me with this.

"No, we were arranged to marry by our parents. It was an arranged marriage that was planned but I wasn't in love with you", he explained everything that happened apart from his cheating on her with Veronica.

"Thank you, for the truth. Good night", Arian walked back to her room.

"Arian...."

"It is okay, Theo. Thank you for telling me the truth. Goodnight".

Who else is lying to me?

My parents

Mandy?

Who are you?

Arian tried to get some sleep but all she did was toss and turn until it reached morning. She got up early before Theo did so that she could go and see her best friend Mandy.

Arriving at Mandy's place, Arian knocks on the door. But it wasn't Mandy or Mike who opened the door. It was the guy from the hospital.

Liam.
