✨Chapter 14✨

"Who am I? Did you just ask who I am?" Andrea asked and walked closer to them

"She's Julia's friend obviously" Nicole said

"So, are you guys happy together? You are married now, so you must be living happily, right?" Andrea asked

"Leave while I'm asking nicely, or else I'll ask the guards to throw you out," Nicole said.

"You bitch!" Andrea spat and gave her a resounding slap.

"Do you think I'm here to talk nicely to you? You must have forgotten, but I'm way different from Julia. I talk with my fist more than with my mouth, and if you get on my nerves one more time, I will beat you to a pulp. I'm talking to Dylan for now, so wait until it's your turn," Andrea said and released the hair that she had been holding all this time.

"What do you think you are doing in someone else's home?" Dylan asked.

"Oh my goodness! I'm getting angry" Andrea said and slapped him too.

"What? Are you surprised that I slapped you? You probably weren't expecting that, right? Brace yourself because, who knows, you might annoy me so much that I will have to deal properly with you," Andrea said.

"I'm going to call the cops right now," Dylan said and took his phone.

Andrea slapped the phone away from his hands and grabbed him by his collar.

"You are going to call the cops? Since when did you become such a coward? You don't want to talk about how you betrayed Julia, so you want to call the cops?" Andrea gritted.

"Why are you still listening to her? I will call the cops instead," Nicole said and took her phone.

Andrea let go of Dylan and turned to look at Nicole, who was busy trying to call the police.

"I know you never listen since you are a bitch, but then, you just keep crossing the line even though you know my anger issues," Andrea said and snatched her phone from her.

She smashed the phone with her heels until it was completely destroyed.

"What now? Are you going to call your guards? Call them quickly because that's what I want. It's been a while since I used my skills, so I need some practice," Andrea said and returned to Dylan.

"What did you mean when you said I betrayed Julia?" Dylan asked.

"What? Are you asking me that right now?" Andrea asked.

"Yes. I'm asking you because I don't understand what you are saying. Julia's employees also hate me passionately, but I don't know why. Did I do something bad to her before I lost my memory?" Dylan asked.

"Wait! What?! You lost your memory?" Andrea scoffed.

"Yes! I lost my memory, and when I woke up....."

"You don't need to explain anything to them. The conference is going to start soon, and we can't afford to be late," Nicole said and tried to drag Dylan away.

"Let me finish what I'm about to say. I feel lost whenever anyone mentions Julia, and lately, I've been seeing some things that I don't understand. I don't know if it's a flash of my memory or if I'm imagining it, so let me get to the bottom of this right here and now," Dylan said and withdrew his hand.

"Fine! Pick between me and Andrea. If you pick Andrea, you can stay with her and say whatever you want to say, but if you pick me, we have to leave right now," Nicole said.

"What are you saying? How can you ask me to pick between both of you?" Dylan asked.

"Wow! Is this how she's treating you in your marriage? You divorced Julia to be with someone like her?" Andrea giggled.

"I divorced Julia? Are you saying Julia and I were married?" Dylan asked.

"I told you to pick one, so what are you doing?" Nicole asked.

"I pick Andrea so you can leave," Dylan said without thinking.

"You really mean it?" Nicole asked.

"Yes, I mean it," Dylan said.

Nicole went back into the house, leaving Andrea and Dylan standing outside. She came back outside a few minutes later and drove to work.

"Can you now answer my question? Was Julia and I really married?" Dylan asked.

"When did you lose your memory?" Andrea asked instead.

"It's been over three years. Close to four years already," Dylan answered.

"How am I supposed to know if you are telling the truth or not?" Andrea asked.

"I can show you the report if you don't believe me," Dylan said.

"No need to show me. Just summarize what happened after you woke up," Andrea said.

"When I woke up, Nicole was the only person by my side. She told me she was my fiancee and asked me not to trust anyone. She said they might try to steal my company from me if they found out I lost my memory, so she told me to keep it a secret. Julia came after that, but I didn't know who it was. Nicole later told me that Julia has always been obsessed with me and that I should ignore her," Dylan explained.

"So it was after you lost your memory that you divorced Julia?" Andrea asked.

"Yes, I didn't know we were married," Dylan said.

"You signed the papers even though you didn't know you were married. Do you think there can be anyone in this world who is as stupid as you?" Andrea asked.

"I know I'm stupid and I'm really sorry. So Julia and I were really married? How come there is nothing about it on the internet?" Dylan asked.

"It must have been Nicole's doing. She played both of you, and you fell right into her trap. Even though it's not entirely your fault, it's still partially your fault. You lost your memory and decided to trust only one person. It doesn't make any sense, but I'm going to leave because I wasn't expecting this.

Just keep living your life happily with Nicole and forget about Julia because she has moved on. It will be best if you stay away from her," Andrea concluded and left.

"What is that look on your face?" Julia asked Andrea when she returned home.

"What do you think? I went there to beat some senses into them, but I couldn't even do it. I don't even know how I feel," Andrea said and sat on the couch.

"Wow! This is totally shocking. You left here just now after bragging about how much you are going to beat them to a pulp, and you return to say this. I don't want to say you are all talk, but I don't think I can hold myself back either," Julia said and sat opposite her.

"I wish you were there so that you would have seen that I'm not all talk. I also noticed the difference in Dylan as soon as I got there, and he even asked who I was. How could you not have noticed that he was acting strange?" Andrea asked.

"If he wasn't behaving strangely, he wouldn't have gotten married to my best friend" Julia rolled her eyes.

"Stop calling her your best friend, it's irritating. Anyway, did you know about his memory loss?" Andrea asked.

"What?!"
