(Arianna POV)
I put my knees close to my chest and hid my head in between trying to process things.
It is a dream right? Another confusing dream just like the last time.
But...
I once again look at my wrist.
A Red mark surrounded my white skin. It looks faded and almost healed and I have no pain. But these marks are definitely new.
Not only my wrist but also my angles. Both the exact place those chains tightly lay.
“Noah….” I said as I got out of the bed and rushed my way to his room. My body felt tired and weak and I want nothing more than to stay in the bed.
Once near his door, I heard whimpers as my eyes widen. I quickly opened the door and entered the room to find my baby boy in the corner of the room crying.
“Mommy” he called when he saw me.
I quickly ran to him and scooped him in my arms. He quickly hugged me and cried as I rubbed his back while swaying lightly.
“Mommy. I dreamed of a bad guy attacking us and he tried to take you. I fought him but I felt dizzy suddenly. Then when I woke up, I was in a dark place. The same bad man came and hurt me. It was really scary.” He said crying.
The dream… It’s the same dream I had.
So it’s not a dream? But that man who saved us… Who is he? Is he really my son’s father?
“It's ok my baby. Mommy is here with you now. It was a very bad dream but now you’re safe with mommy” I said trying to console him although I’m starting to doubt if it is a dream.
‘No. Stop it, Arianna. It’s a bad dream. A very bad dream. Magic doesn’t exist and you have defiantly not seen the father of your son’ I scolded myself as I shook my head and hugged him even more tightly.
***************************
“Ok. So my show starts at night 8. Here is the pass for you both. The dress he has to wear is ironed and put on the left end of the cupboard. Give him something light to eat. No heavy food cause the after-party will involve a buffet.” I said to the new nanny as she nodded.
She seems nice and Noah immediately took a liking to the lady. She is an elder brunette woman with streaks of white hair here and there.
“Noah, Mommy is going for work. I want you to be a good boy and not make trouble for Mrs. White here.” I said as he nodded with tears in his eyes.
I sighed as I kissed his forehead.
The moment I told him I’m going for work, he started crying saying he doesn’t want me out of his sight. I wished I could bring him to work, but today is an important event and I’m one of the main models. The place will be packed with workers all running around to make the events perfect so it will be impossible to have him with me.
After an hour of convincing him, he finally allowed me to go.
“You will see mommy at night on stage. I hope you will support and clap for mommy” I said as he smiled and kissed my cheek.
“My mommy will be the best!” he shouted I kissed back his cheek.
I stood and looked at Mrs. White who was smiling at us with pride.
“I will be off to work. Take care of him” I said as she nodded.
“Not to worry at all, Miss” she said as I bid goodbye and made my way to work.
**************************
“Arianna, Your next” The event manager said as I nodded and stood in the line.
I took a deep breath and shook my shaking hands. I have been doing this for years now but still I’m a nervous wreck.
“Stop pose turn walk. Stop pose turn walk” I kept chanting. The makeup artist came and gave me a final touch up.
She lined the satin peach color fleets of the gown and adjusted the pink glitter bodice.
“All good and you look pretty.” She commented as I thanked her.
“Aria. You’re up” the manager said as I nodded and made my way through the backstage curtain.
I walked to the middle and for a second my eyes were blinded by the light.
Cheap Thrills by Sia played in the background and I took a deep breath and started to walk with the flow of music.
My body moved with the music as I showed a little attitude and walked through the long ramp.
Once reaching the end I did a pose and I took the opportunity to look at my baby boy. I smiled as I saw him clapping and cheering me, looking so handsome in his little designer suit.
My eyes moved to the person next to him and my eyes widen.
Sitting there next to my son was the same guy who saved me and my son in my dream.
I turned and walked to the middle of the stage trying my best to not show any other expression. Once I reached the middle I did another pose and looked at the same place but it was now empty.
I walked out the stage and frowned as I secretly checked the seat through the back curtain. My eyes roamed through the whole room but I still couldn’t see him.
“Arianna! There you are!” My boss’s voice rose making me turn around in shock.
“Oh, Juliana. You scared me a little” I said as she raised her eyebrow a little.
“What are you doing sneaking around,” she said as I gave a nervous laugh.
“I was just looking at my son” I said scratching the back of my neck.
“Oh don’t lie. I know you were looking for him” she said as my eyes widen.
“Him?” I asked as she nodded.
“Yea. That is why I came here. To tell you that he is waiting inside your changing room” she said.
“Who is waiting in my changing room?” I asked as she looked at me like I grew two heads.
“Your husband. Who else” she said as I looked at her in shock.
“What?” I said not believing this.
“Now go fast!” she said as I ran to my changing room.
My husband? Is he the same guy I saw earlier? The one that saved me?
I ran faster, tripping a few times on my high heels.
“s**t” I said as I stopped and removed my heels and ran up the stairs.
I opened the door to my changing room and my heels slip from my hands as I stared at the person in front of me.
Standing there all handsome and heartbreaking was the same guy.
The guy that was there when I ramp walked down the aisle. The guy that saved me from that place. The guy that claimed to be my baby’s father.
