"But you have to keep telling me Ryan, I did everything for Erza. You know Erza is more than anyone. Why, why are you doing this?" Anna's cry made Ryan's heart cramped.
"Rulianna forgive me" Ryan finally found a way to apologize. He knows he's wrong for hiding everything from his wife, but Ryan does it all just because he doesn't want to hurt Anna any worse.
"Alright" Anna nodded at Ryan and left.
"Another problem came again. Shit... It's all because of Mark" Inner Ryan.
"You make her upset and sad again when she is pregnant, you better pray that nothing happens to my child and wife because of her emotions" Ryan said calmly and stood up. Without caring about Mark, Ryan goes to Anna's room. His wife was lying on the bed looking up at the ceiling.
"Anna" Ryan slowly walked towards his wife, Anna looked at him and sighed. Ryan immediately got into bed and lay down next to Anna while stroking her hair.
"What happened to her?" Anna asked Ryan while holding back her tears.
"There's no point in hiding the truth right now" Ryan said.
"According to my investigation, someone had planned something, and Erza was murdered" Ryan kissed his wife's forehead and said.
"Why, and who is that guy? Erza never did anything wrong to anyone" Anna buried her face in Ryan's chest and sobbed.
"Maybe the same person who kidnapped you two years ago" Ryan replied. Anna said nothing and continued crying.
"Don't cry, go to sleep now" Ryan hugged his wife to calm down and went to sleep. Slowly, Anna's breathing sounded calm. Turns out he's asleep.
After Anna fell asleep, Ryan got out of bed and walked out of the room. Ryan went to the park here and looked around. He remembered everything that had happened in the past.
"What are you doing?" Ryan heard Mark's voice and turned to look at him. Mark looked at himself while raising his eyebrows. Ryan sighed and looked away from Mark for not wanting to fight anymore.
"Nothing" Ryan said as he sat in the chair.
"How can Marianna be your rented womb?" Mark asked and Ryan looked back at him.
"There's no point in lying" Ryan thought.
"Grandmother found it and I did what grandma asked me to do" Ryan said briefly. He saw Mark's jaw harden. Ryan can understand the pain in Mark's heart because he loves and loves his brother. Because after losing the lords, Mark was their replacement. Mark continued to search for Anna and Erza's whereabouts like crazy.
"Can't you find out from grandma what happened back then?" Suddenly Mark asked.
"I've tried for years but got nothing"
"Before I went to the military camp, I asked about it to grandma, but the thing grandma said was 'I don't know and she didn't do anything'. But I know Grandma's hiding something" Ryan said as Mark sat next to her.
"No evidence has been found of anything as everyone has already been killed related to the matter. Especially the murder of the father" Mark said slowly. Ryan could clearly hear his voice breaking. Of course, Mark was heartbroken that his family was destroyed in an instant.
"One man left, maybe he knows something. The man was one of the men who kidnapped Rulianna and Erza" Ryan looked at Mark and said.
"Where?" Mark asked Mark in a voice filled with impatience. Ryan sighed and explained what Chris found and told him that day.
"We'll be able to know everything if we catch him" Ryan said. Mark took a deep breath and looked at her.
"I'm leaving tomorrow" Mark said.
"What the fuck are you... Mark, you know, it's too dangerous to go alone and find the guy... We know that they're not that easy" Ryan sighed and told Mark.
"Who said I'd go alone? You should go with Ryan. You married my sister and by being forced to become my brother-in-law, so you better come with me" Mark replied as he looked at Ryan.
"Forced to be his brother-in-law? What the fuck? " Inner Ryan doesn't justify Mark's word.
"I didn't become your sister-in-law by force. I've always been that way since a long time ago, because om and aunt have already betrothed me, and another one, Rulianna is mine" Ryan said as he looked away from Mark's annoying face. Ryan was really upset.
"We'll go tomorrow and bring your son here. Let him stay with Marianna until we get back. And one more thing, you better go and sleep in the guest room don't dare touch it" Mark stood up from the chair and frowned at Ryan.
"I slept with him. She's pregnant, what else do I have to touch?" Ryan smirked at Mark and stood up from the chair. He looked at Mark's face with a very angry expression. Before Mark could react, Ryan walked past him.
"I'm going to pick up Ezra now" Ryan said as he walked out of Mark's yard and into his car.
After Ryan had reached his house, he went to Ezra's room and took some suits for his son and packed them. When he was done, Ryan wrote a small note to his uncle Herman and placed it on the table in Ezra's room. Ryan looked towards Ezra. It seems that his son is sleeping well. So without waking him up, Ryan took him to the car and put him in the back seat slowly and drove to Mark's house.
When Ryan entered the yard, he saw Mark was still there.
"He's sleeping?" Mark asks Ryan as Ryan takes Ezra out of the car. Ryan nodded at Mark, and Mark approached and stroked Ezra's cheek.
"I see him as Erza. The two were similar" Mark spoke in a hurt and happy tone.
"I'm going to sleep. Ask Chris to come with us tomorrow" Mark said. Ryan nodded at his brother-in-law and took Ezra to Anna's room and put his son to bed next to Anna. As soon as Ryan put Ezra on the bed, he rolled into Anna's arms.
"This child" Ryan said with a smile.
- Rulianna
Anna wakes up in the morning and feels someone hugging her. Anna thinks it's Ryan. Anna opened her eyes and looked at the small hand, but to Anna's surprise, it was not Ryan, but her little prince.
"When did he come? " Murmured Anna. He sat down and looked at Ezra who was sleeping soundly. She did not want to wake her son up, so Anna slowly got out of bed.
"Mommy" Anna's steps came to a halt when she heard her son's still-sleepy voice.
"Mommy is here baby, go to sleep again" Anna kisses her son's forehead and again justifies the blanket.
"MOMMY YOU'RE HERE" Suddenly Ezra said in a loud voice after opening her eyes. Anna smiled and kissed her son's cheek.
"Yes, mommy is here" Anna replied. Ezra nodded at Anna. And at the same time Ryan went into the room.
"Daddy, you're here" Ezra smiled brightly at Ryan and raised his hand. Ryan walked to the bed and picked up his son.
"Ezra you lived here with mommy for a few days. Daddy has to go to take care of business" Ryan said. Anna looked at Ryan and her heart suddenly felt uneasy because of her husband's words just now.
"Where are you? What business?" Anna asked Ryan as Ryan also looked at himself and smiled.
