Chapter 3: (Aaira's pov)

As I sat up, trying to calm down, I took a deep breath and closed my eyes to relax. But right away, scary memories filled my mind.

I quickly sat up and looked around, I was trying to breathe slowly. But suddenly my mind rushed towards my baby girl. I became worried about Annabelle, my beloved daughter.

I wondered how she was doing without me. She always missed me when I wasn't there. I called her name softly.

Aaira: Annabelle.

She should be doing fine, there was no day she has been ever separated from me ever since she has arrived but these past two months have been disaster.

Aaira: Annabella, Come to Mumma.

After a long moment, I saw Annabelle coming towards me. She moved gracefully, her shiny fur glowing in the soft light of the room. I felt relieved and happy to see her safe.

Annabelle walked closer to me and gently curled up in my lap, purring softly. Tears welled up in my eyes, and they dripped down, wetting her fur as I gently petted her.

Aaira: Hello, my sweet girl.

I said quietly, Annabelle nuzzled my hand gently, as if telling me she was here with me. She must have missed me so much, she doesn't even let others touch her.

Annabelle had always been there for me, giving me comfort without words. Now, seeing her by my side again, I felt grateful and warm inside.

Aaira: You missed me, didn't you?

I whispered softly, hugging her close and burying my face in her soft fur. Annabelle purred happily, making me feel calm.

Annabelle: Meow.

She meowed lightly, She was my first child, my everything before marriage.

I held her tightly, I was fully better and back with the people I loved. Thank god.

Just then, the door creaked open, revealing Suah Noona and Scarlet standing at the threshold. Their concerned expressions softened as they saw me awake.

Suah Noona rushed forward, her eyes welling up with tears.

Suah: Aaira, my dear, you're awake!

She enveloped me in a gentle embrace, careful not to exert too much pressure and careful with Annabelle being on my lap, Scarlet stood beside her.

Scarlet: Oh, thank the heavens! We've been so worried about you.

Suah: Seems like someone found her mother already.

I managed a weak smile, and nod.

Suah: You don't even know how much this kitty missed you.

Aaira: Did she ?

Suah: Obviously.

Scarlet scoffed suddenly.

Scarlet: The other girl... What was her name ?

Aaira: Moon Y/n.

Scarlet: Yes her, She scratched her when she tried to touch her.

I looked down at annabelle on my laps, she has met my baby too, has she met Aimin as well ? Where else has Jungkook taken her, What else has she done behind my back.

Aaira: It's good to see you both. How long have I been... Umm... You know ?

I tried to change the topic, Suah Noona interrupted softly, her voice filled with compassion.
