23 Julian Williams 2

It's been 3 years since Julian met Roselyn. As Roger has said he was able to win Roselyn's heart. They haave been datinng this last 3 years. In fact Julian had proposed marriage to Roselyn and she accepted. The wedding will take place after a week.

Julain was so busy. As Roger has promised, he sponsored Julian's run for government and the election date is also getting near, not to mention his wedding was just around the corner.

Julian was in his office late in the evening. Stress is drawn all over his face. Then his phone rang. "Hello?" he answered.

"Hey honey." Roselyn's voice was heard over the phone. Julian's face started to relax and smiled. He was happy to hear her voice.

"Hi honey." Julian answered.

"Are you working late tonight?" Roselyn said with a worried voice. "Please don't over work your self. You also need to rest."

"Don't worry honey. I was just about to finish things up here and go home." Julian said affectionately.

"Okay. Have you eaten already? Don't forget to eat. Please always be mindful of your health." Roselyn said.

"Thanks honey. I'll be eating hear at the canteen before going home don't worry." Julian said.

"Call me when you get home okay. Goodnight." Roselyn said.

"Goodnight honey." Julian said. He put the phone down and leaned his back on the sit. He was energized after that call.

In this past 3 years they were dating Julian really fell in love with Roselyn. He genuinely loved her.

Julian was smiling when his phone ran again. "Hello?"

"Sir there is someone in the lobby who wants to see you." it was Julian's secretary on the other line.

Julian massage his temples looking stressed again. "Who would want to meet me at this hour?" he said evidently irrated.

"Um sir it's a woman named Victoria." his secretary answered.

Julian was shocked. Victoria was his ex-girlfriend. They had a long distance relationship after he moved to N city. They became distant and when he and Roselyn started dating he had broken up with Victoria over the phone. And just 6 months ago he ended their relationship finally after meeting her personally.

"I don't want to see her. Let her leave. Drag her out if you have to." Julian said. Victoria has been pestering him the time he and Roselyn got together. Victoria didn't accept the break up over the phone so he went home to his home town where Victoria lives to personally break up with her.

"But sir she is pregnant." the secretary said.

Julian was surprised. "Pregnant?" The last time they met was to break up with her personally. Something did happen between them.

"Let her up." Julian said.

After a while a woman entered his door. Julian looked at her seriously. She had a baby bump.

"Is that really mine?" Julian asked.

Victoria started to cry. "How can you say that? You know what happened to us 6 months ago."

"How dare you say that. You drugged me that time. You have planned for this all along." Julian shouted at her.

"I did that because I love you. I don't want to lose you." Victoria said crying.

"You love me? But the time we had a long distance relationship you were having an affair with another guy." Julian said. Anger evident in his eyes.

Victoria can't say anything and just cried.

"I will not marry you just because of the baby." Julian said. "After being disloyal to me I can't trust you again. After you give birth I'll have the baby have a DNA test. If it really is mine the, I'll support the two of you. But never make trouble for me and Roselyn." Julian said with a conviction.

***

Six years have past after Julian and Roselyn was married. They had Jillian after their honeymoon. She is now 5 years old.

Jillian looks like her mother Roselyn. Julian doted on her daughter treating her as a princess since she was born.

But not long after their lives were changed forever. Victoria once barged in their home with her daughter Julia. The time Julia was born Julian made a DNA test and the test was positive that she was his daughter. There Roselyn knew about the one night affair Julian had done.

Julian has explained to Roselyn that Victoria and him didn't have an affair and just did that one night. That was a mistake he can't erase. Roselyn forgave him but she changed. She had became depressed. And not long she contracted a sickness that led to her death.

Julian was devastated. He has blamed himself for his wife's death. And because of that he can't face his daughter Jillian where each day she get's older she resembled Roselyn so much.

Jillian lived with her grandfather Roger and grandmother Tricia. Julian can't stand seeing her because of the guilt he was feeling.

When Jill was 12 years old Julian married Victoria. The years Julian was mourning his wife's death, Victoria has pestered him continuously. He has known all along that what Victoria really wanted was his wealth and fame but still Julia was his daughter so he has married her and it was not out of love but duty. That was the time he knew that he needed to take back Jill from her grandparents now that she has a stepmother to take care of her.

"Father, mother I would like to take Jill and live with us." Julian said while in front of his in-laws.

"Who do you think you are?!" Roger shouted in rage. "I have given you my daughter and what happened? She died because of sickness from depression. You had an affair with another woman and had a bastard daughter and now that you have married that bitch you want me to give you my precious granddaughter? You must be out of your mind!"

Julian was silent with his head down. He knew that all what Roger said was true. He was guilty of all the accusations he stated.

"It was a mistake to give you my daughter. I won't do the same mistake again." Roger said furiously.

"Dear please calm down." Tricia said while calming her husband.

Then a 12 year old Jill came running. She hugged her father tightly. Julian was shocked.

"Grandfather please don't be angry towards father." Jill said while hugging Julian.

Julian's heart squeezed. Even after all those years he had been cold to his daughter, Jill still loves him.

"But baby girl I don't want you to suffer there. You're going to have a stepmother and sister. We don't know how they will treat you." Roger said with a gentle voice.

"But he is still my dad and I want to live with him." Jill said. "And daddy won't let anyone bully me, right?" she looked at Julian with those lovely sky blue eyes.

Julian saw those eyes. Eyes just like Roselyn's. Jill resemble her mother so much. His heart ached. "Yes I won't let anyone bully you." Julian said with a forced smile. But deep inside he was forcing himself not to cry. Emotions are swirling inside him. He loves his daughter so much but his guilt is preventing him from showing them. Looking at Jill let him remembers his past mistakes.

Jill smiled happily. "You heard that grandfather. Daddy said he wont't let anyone bully me. So can I live with daddy now?" she said pleading.

Roger sighed. He knows that Julian is still Jill's father and Jill has always craved her father's affection.

"Dear let's give him this chance." Tricia said.

"Alright." Roger said. "But if anything happens to her you'll be the one accountable for Julian."

"Yes father." Julian said. "Thank you so much."

***

Julian is back at the present. The time Jillian killed her self Roger has been blaming him for not taking care of her well.

Julian also thought that way. Even Victoria and Julia had been living with Jill harmoniously he wasn't able to give the affection that he wanted to give to Jill. But now she has returned from the grave he will be sure to give his love as a father ten times more.

Julian picked up his phon and dialed.

"Yes sir?" James answered.

"Please schedule a meeting with Queenie Versales." Julian said.

"Yes sir." James said and end the call.

Julian looked at the garden again. "I will give everything that's rightfully yours my baby girl."
