IN LOVE WITH MR STRANGER

★★26★★

SEINNA P.O.V.❤️
I was sitting on my bed, crying into my pillow, when I heard the door open. I quickly wiped my eyes and turned to see who it was. It was Merry.

"Sienna, are you still crying?" she asked

"Why wouldn't I be?" I snapped, my voice thick with tears. "He won't call me, he won't even reply to my texts. He doesn't care about me anymore."

Merry sat down next to me, putting a comforting arm around my shoulders.

"You know he doesn't remember you, right? He's not ignoring you, he just doesn't know who you are."

"I don't care!" I yelled, tears streaming down my face. "I don't care if he doesn't remember me, I love him and he should love me too!"

Merry sighed, looking at me with compassion. "I know you're hurting, Sienna, but getting angry isn't going to help anything"

Just then, I heard the door burst open, and Scarlett rushed in.

"Have you seen the latest news?"

"What?"

"Willow has been arrested!" Scarlett yelled

Merry's jaw dropped, her eyes wide. "What? When?"

Scarlett plopped down on the bed next to me, her eyes shining with glee. "I don't know all the details, but it's all over social media. She's trending!"

"That means Nathaniel must remember everything,But why doesn't he remember me?"

"Sienna, take a deep breath, We don't know what's going on with Nathaniel. He could just be confused." Merry said

"I don't care" I cried, tears rolling down my cheeks. "I just want him to remember me"

Scarlett shook her head, looking at me with sympathy. "Sis he's been through a lot. I know you're hurt, but you need to give him time"

"I don't want to give him time,I need him to remember me now"

"Sienna, you're being unreasonable, You can't force someone to remember you." Scarlett said

"Get out!" I yelled, losing my temper. I grabbed a pillow and threw it at her. "Get out of my room!"

Scarlett stood up "Fine,I'll go. But don't expect me to come back and comfort you"

"I don't need your comfort,In fact, both of you should just leave."

"Including me?" Merry asked

"Yes, both of you," I said, feeling exhausted. I lay down on the bed, turning my back to them. "Just go."

NATHANIEL P.O.V❤️
I was sitting at the kitchen table, nursing a glass of wine, when I heard the door open. I didn't turn around. I knew who it was.

"I was expecting you," I Said

"There's no need to pretend, You already know everything, don't you?"Eric said

I took a sip of my wine, stalling for time. "Yes, I do know everything, Eric,But I still want to be your friend. You're still important to me, no matter what."

He looked at me, his eyes full of pain. "I don't need you to forget what happened, or to forgive me."

"If you don't need my forgiveness, then why are you here?"

"To fight with you," he said, a small smile playing on his lips. "And to tell you something."

I crossed my legs and leaned back in my chair, a small smile playing on my lips. "Alright then, Mr. Mysterious let's hear it. What's this all about?"

"You're not Mara's real son," he said

I froze, my mouth agape. What was he talking about? I had known Mara my whole life, and I had always been told that she was my mother. I stared at him, my mind racing. "What do you mean?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.

"I am mara real son, and Asher is my son The real kicker is that Mara actually killed your father,She was supposed to abandon you at the hospital when you were a baby, but she decided to keep you so that she could get her hands on your father's fortune and set me up to be the CEO of the company."

I felt sick to my stomach. What he was saying was too horrible to even comprehend. Mara had been like a mother to me my whole life. How could this be true? "I don't believe you,You're lying."

"I'm not lying, Nathaniel,I've been lying to you this whole time. I was never your friend, I was just pretending to be one."

"But... why?What do you want from me?"

"What I've always wanted," he said, his eyes narrowing. "To kill you. Once and for all."

I felt a chill run down my spine. I had never seen this side of him before. He had always been kind and gentle, and now he was talking about killing me.

I jumped to my feet, my heart pounding in my chest. He reached into his jacket and pulled out a gun, pointing it at me. "Nathaniel, just die,"

He was about to pull the trigger when there was a sudden crash. A figure rushed into the room and knocked him to the ground.

I stood frozen in terror, my eyes wide. The figure turned to me and I recognized him........
