NATHANIEL ❤️
"Let's drink it together," I said, my voice catching in my throat.
"Huh?" Willow said, her brow furrowed in confusion.
"I said, let's drink it together," I repeated
"I'm on a diet, I can't drink it."
"Really?"
"Of course, I'm trying to be healthy."
Just then, my grip on the wine glass slipped. It fell to the floor, shattering into a thousand pieces.
We both stood there, staring at the mess. I didn't know what to say.
"Why did you let it slip?" she asked, her voice angry.
"Did you really expect me to drink poison?"
"What are you talking about? I didn't put anything in the wine."
I knew she was lying. There was no way I was going to drink that wine. I was sure it was poisoned.
"Don't lie to me, I know you put something in there."
Willow looked at me, her eyes wide. "I didn't!"
"I know you poisoned the drink, And I remember everything about that night, how you killed my wife and my child."
Willow's face went pale, her eyes wide with shock. "What are you talking about?I didn't kill anyone. You're confused."
But I wasn't confused. I remembered everything. The night was clear in my mind, like it had happened just yesterday.
"You're lying,I know the truth."
FLASH BACK 💥
"So, what are we going to name our child?" I asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"I'm not sure yet, But I like the name Emma."Ariana said
"That's a beautiful name, It would suit our daughter perfectly."
"Yes, it would," she said, a faraway look in her eyes. "I can't wait to meet her."
"Are you feeling any pain?" I asked, reaching out to touch her arm.
"Not yet," she said
"I'll just go get some documents from the office," I said, getting up to leave.
"Wait!" Ariana said, reaching out to grab my arm. "I want you to stay with me."
"I'll ask the nurse to look after you," I said, feeling a lump in my throat.
"That's good," she said, a small smile on her face. "I'll be fine, and my friend Willow will be here soon."
"That's good to hear, I'll be back as soon as I can."
"I love you Nathan" she said
"I love you too"
With that, I gave her a quick kiss on the cheek and hurried out of the hospital.
I couldn't help but feel a sense of foreboding as I left, a feeling that something terrible was about to happen.
As I drove away from the hospital, the sky darkened and the rain began to pour. It was a heavy rain, and I could barely see through the windshield.
I decided to stop at the office to get the files I needed, and as I was walking to the building, I heard a scream.
I ran towards the sound, and I saw a girl standing on the edge of a building, about to jump. And I save her then I Rushed back to the hospital
When I got to Ariana's room, I saw that the door had been broken down. I rushed inside and saw Ariana lying on the floor, a pool of blood surrounding her. There was figure standing over her, her face obscured by the shadows.
"No!" I yelled, rushing to Ariana's side. I held her hand, feeling for a pulse, but I couldn't find one. She was cold to the touch, and her eyes were closed. I knew she was gone.
I looked up at the person standing over me. It was Willow, her face filled with hatred.
"Why did you do this? Why did you kill her?"
Willow didn't answer, but I could see the coldness in her eyes.
"I'll kill you!" I screamed, my rage taking over. I stood up, ready to attack her, but something hit me from behind. I collapsed to the ground, my vision going dark.
"Why did you hit him?" Willow asked
"I had to, He was going to hurt you."Eric said
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Willow and Eric were supposed to be friends, but now they were enemies. I tried to speak, to tell them to stop, but I couldn't. My tongue felt heavy, my body weak. All I could do was watch as the scene unfolded before me.
And then my eyes closed, and everything went black. I couldn't see or hear anything.
I woke up the next morning in a hospital bed. I could hear the beeping of machines and the bustling of nurses and doctors. A voice broke through the sounds, calling my name.
"Are you okay now?" Mara asked
"I'm fine, mom," I said, sitting up in the bed.
As willow was about to walk out I call her "Ariana, where are you going?"
She stopped, her back to me. "Ariana " she said
"Yes, are you not my Ariana " I said smiling as her
••••••
"Doctor, what's wrong with Nathaniel? Why is he calling Willow 'Ariana'?"Mara asked
"From what I can tell, he's lost his memories, It's likely that he thinks Willow is someone else. We're still trying to figure out exactly what happened." Razor said
"But why would he think that?" Mara asked, her brow furrowed. "It doesn't make any sense."
"It's not uncommon for people with memory loss to experience confusion and disorientation,"
"Is there a chance he'll regain his memories?" Willow asked
"Yes, it's possible,"
"I need him to not remember anything."
"I agree with her, We need to make sure he doesn't remember anything." Mara said
"But..." Razor began, but was cut off by Willow
"No buts, Doctor, you have to help me. This is not the first time I've had to do this. Just give me the drug and I'll take care of the rest."
FLASH END ✨🤍
"Is that all you know? You really don't understand anything, do you?"willow said
"You're evil, You hurt my family and you're laughing about it?"
" Nathaniel Your daughter didn't die, That's what you need to understand."
"What?" I said, my head spinning.
"Eve is the daughter you had with Ariana, That's why I hate her And I'm going to kill you too, and Eve. Asher is not your son."
I stared at her, my mind reeling. "That's not possible,I raised Asher. He's my son."
"You're wrong, He's not yours. He never was."
"No,You're lying."
"You are under arrest, Miss Willow," a voice said, and she turned to see two police officers standing in the doorway.
"What? I haven't done anything wrong!"
"I'm afraid that's not true," the officer said, his voice calm but firm. "You've been accused of a serious crime, and we're going to have to take you into custody."
"Take her away, She's a demon! A monster!" I yelled
As the police took Willow away, I felt a mix of emotions coursing through me. I was furious at what she had done, but I also felt a deep sadness. I had lost so much, and I didn't know how I would go on.
"You'll never get away with this!" I yelled after her, my voice raw and hoarse. But she was already gone.
I sank to the ground, my body shaking with sobs. I didn't know what to do next
