The Villain Returns

The Villain Returns

Isabella's Pov :

I woke up to the empty bed beside me which well felt very upsetting to my groggy mind forcing me to wake up completely and go on a search mission to find my husband. I know he's very stressed these days with everything that's happening around us though we did spend some nice time last night, which also made us miss the Fashion Show that Julien had originally thought of taking me to.

"You up ?" I heard Julien's voice as I heard his footsteps coming from the balcony. He walked towards me with a smile on his face and black three piece formal business suit.

And damn he was looking hella fine.

He came closer to me, holding a mug of coffee in his hand as his right hand went to brush through my tangled hair, as he leaned in to first drop a kiss on my forehead and then further down on my belly.

I kept staring at him, breathing into the fresh cologne that he had applied, when I felt the sudden pang of nausea hitting me, making me hold my hand to my mouth and shoving him off from my front with a strength I did not think I had within myself.

I ran to the bathroom, bending down on the toilet bowl and emptied my stomach, immediately feeling dizzy and overly light when Julien rushed to my side, holding me as I got up with his help.

"Move I am Gross.." I say with the little pain in my throat due to all the vomiting but then this was only the worst part of my pregnancy till now.

"Shsh it's fine," Julien hooked his one arm under my arms, holding me steady by my back while his other hand went to pull out a wet towel to wipe of my mouth.

"Thanks," I murmured lowly as we walked back into the room, his arms still supporting me to balance.

"Some water ?" Julien asked as he made me sit on the couch to which I nodded. I looked back on his frame while sipping on the water from the glass he just offered me-- his so crisp suit wasn'y much crisp anymore, thanks to me and our baby.

"So if you are feeling better I have two news go give you-- one bad and one good I feel," Julien said while seating himself down opposite to me, picking his half filled coffee mug again as my brows narrowed.

A good news and a bad ? Should I be happy or be anxious about that ?

"Say the bad news first please ?" I asked him while he made a bad face to me.

"When did I say you got a chance to choose ? I will give the good news first because I know you will be happy hearing that," Julien replied with a cheeky grin while I nodded at him encouraging him to continue.

"So the good news is that your parents are coming over and I have offered them jobs to stay closer to you during your pregnancy. I know you miss them a lot these days so they can in this way be closer to you and also keep you company when of course I am not with you," Julien replied with a smile forming on his face as I stared at him with an awe. Did my tough grumpy husband really do that ?

"Wait. Really ?" I blurted out excitedly standing up from the couch to run to him. I embraced him with my arms snaking around his torso as he immediately returned back the gesture, making me sit on his lap as we faced each other.

"Yeah it was supposed to be a surprise for you but seeing how other things are going on currently I decided to tell you after confirming from them today morning. They will be staying in one of our bungalows just two blocks away from here so they can come to you anytime or you can visit them. But with the guards," Julien replied as I smiled. He looked at me with so much adoration and love which made me feel so special.

He did so much for me without even me asking him to do anything. He brought my parents from across the world just to keep them closer to me, so that I can be happy.

"You really did not have to do this," I replied feeling overwhelmed with his gesture. He was never much into family bonding and all because of how messed up and scarred his own was but he still did this.

He tucked a stray hair behind my ear as he cupped my face, giving a soft peck on my lips before he answered.

"I know yet I wanted to. Honestly I have my own selfish reasons for this too, your parents have actually cared for me more than my own family has ever done so when our baby comes to the world I want him/her to be close to them. Receive the family that I never did and not just get lost into the darkness which comes with the name of Fernando's because every child deserves that," Julien spoke, his each syllable coming out from the deepest corner of his heart, showing how he feels about this entire thing-- his insecurities and vulnerabilities. I let the silence prevail in between us, it felt warm rather than being cold.

"So what's the bad news ?" I was rather scared for this one. When the good news turned out to be so damn good the bad news is also going to be that much bad right ?

"Uh Yeah that. So, I don’t know how your morning has been so far or how much you liked my good news, but I’ve got a pancake stuck in my toaster," Julien gave me a sheepish smile as he scratched the back of his head, while I felt myself chuckle.

Like really a pancake ?

"You scared me !" I said with a wack on his shoulder while he laughed setting me down from his lap as he got up.

"Why did you want to make pancakes though ?" I asked him while walking towards the washroom to get done with my morning routine and take the necessary pills.

"Well I wanted to surprise you with breakfast but then it back fired and now the cook is making us break fast," Julien replied from the other side of the room, well actually from our study room which was separated from the bedroom with a door in between.

I smiled to myself at his efforts. Both of us are terrible in cooking,except the ability to cook for ourselves in a no escape situation. I have relied on my parents for food most of my life before having to eat in college campus and then here from the office canteen previously while Julien has always relied on the specialised cooks for he's a literal Fernando, which actually makes these efforts of his very sweet. Which also makes me wonder when he's going to finally confess, last night there were so many moments when I felt we were finally going to say 'I love you' to each other but couldn't.

Probably its going to be soon. Maybe I should actually go for it first. He has already given me way too many good surprises. I could do this.

Julien's Pov :

"Bro you need to come to your office, I mean JLF Company fast, please ! I am in deep shit and you need to help me out," I heard Jaimin blasting my ear through the speaker as soon as I received his call.

Why couldn't he just shut the fuck up ?

"Calm down. I have meeting to attend in the Winsor's so please handle your own company with responsibility," I answered while rolling my eyes at his attempt to hand me yet another responsibility.

I was very much trying to figure out his problem as well but I am just a human at the end of the day and not a god damn hero who could do anything with a snap of his finger.

"No, no no ! You are not understanding Julien ! She's here. Creating a freaking ruckus and is asking for you," Jaimin shouted from the other side which did actually make me change my mind. JLF Companies it is then.

"Fine I am coming but hold her down till then," I answered before hanging the call up before he could reply something.

I need to really teach this woman a lesson. After my marriage I thought she will learn her lesson but she's not. She is now trying to scare and threaten my brother to get to me which I cannot allow to happen.

My driver drove the car to the JLF Companies as I got down and stared at the building. I did promise that I wouldn't come here until I could name it mine again but I cannot let that woman tarnish my family name in front of the world even though it has been a curse to me.

I walked up to the main hall of the office where Jaimin had asked me to come, ignoring all the looks that I was getting from all around me. Well most of them had a rather relived look on their faces and some shocked. I walked through the door only to see her standing there with my brother in what looked like in middle of an arguement and commotion as the employees stood around them enjoying the scene.

"So finally you walked in Jaimin, it was about time that we finally came out in front of the world like we should. Enough of the games, right ?" I heard her speak in her sugary coated voice, as she walked towards me, her weight perfectly shifting on her heels as she walked.

It was time for the game to begin perhaps. It was sooner than I had initially planned it to happen but then there has hardly been something in my life which has worked like I wanted it to.

"Yes, Leyla May."
