Tales Of Love

Chapter 15



Anna held Julian Brabra’s hand tightly as she thought. What is he doing here? Oh… no.. he could come here too after all, this is a hospital.

Julian Brabra narrowed his brow, why is Anna Suddenly behaving weird?.

Ignoring Anna, the man stretched his hand to Julian Brabra ” Hi, I am Tate Owen. An old friend of Anna”.

Julian Brabra shook hands with him and felt the awkwardness of the air around him.

“Nice meeting you. Am Julian Brabra Anna’s….” before he could finish his statement, Tate Owen beat him to it ” Anna’s husband you mean to say?” and chuckled.

Julian Brabra felt something was odd about Tate Owen’s statement. Anyways, he gave a wiry smile and glanced at Anna who seems to have forgotten herself.

Julian Brabra coughed slightly to ease the awkwardness in the air.

Anna came back to her senses and smiled but it was too visible to doubt that it was a fake smile.

“Hello Tate Owen”. Anna tried to sound casual. A while ago she had thought about him, who knew that they were going to run into each other so soon.

“Anna, you look good in your gown” was Tate Owen’s reply and walked past them into the hospital.

Tate Owen went into the consulting room and met his cousin. “Are you the one that attended to Anna?” He asked as his hand made a fist.

Felix wondered if Tate Owen had Suddenly lost his manners. Not a word of greetings but just questioned him outrightly.

“What difference does it make if I am not? Tell me why you look upset?” Doctor Felix asked.

He was Tate Owen’s maternal cousin. They had grown up together with their grandparents. When Felix was only ten his parents had died in a car accident and Tate Owen’s mother took him and Tate Owen to stay with their grandparents. They both grew up as the only brother each had.

“Just answer me Felix” Tate Owen was getting impatient. Felix ignored him and went to wash his hands by the sink and dried them.

When he returned, he put his hands in his pants “yes I was. Have you got any problems with that?” He looked at the anxious face of Tate Owen and knew something had gone wrong.

“How old is the pregnancy?”Tate Owen’s next question shocked him. Felix refused to answer his cousin.

He was a carefree person who didn’t seem to give serious attention to other people’s affairs. But why was he so anxious and eager to know about Mrs Brabra’s pregnancy?.

Seeing his cousin was silent, Tate Owen pleaded “please just tell me”.

“It’s against the ethics of the profession. I can’t disclose someone else’s information to an unauthorized person. What exactly is the matter? Is there something I need to know?” Felix asked.

Tate Owen hits his temple several times. He sighed deeply before deciding to open up ” I have this feeling that the baby in her belly is mine!”.

“Have you lost it, how can a married woman carry your child? Please Tate Owen stop talking nonsense” Felix cautioned him.

” Anna was my girlfriend till the night I left Florence City. Some weeks later I heard she had obtained a certificate at the bureau. But just a while ago, I met her with her husband on their way out.

Her looks, shock and fear were all written over her face when she saw me. When a woman has such weird behavior, it is most likely to be that she’s hiding something” Tate Owen explained.

Felix listened to his cousin’s words. There might be some truth in what he just said. After all, he also read a few things about psychology. He saw how eager his cousin was to know the truth. “Have a word with her privately” Felix suggested.

“Anna will not tell me the truth even if she knows that the fetus is mine. I know her too well” Tate Owen complained.

Tate Owen went to hold his cousin’s hand “please Felix will you help me to do the DNA of the child as soon as he or she is born? Who knows if the child is actually your niece or nephew” .

Felix sighed deeply and gave a nod ” if I am on duty on the day of the child’s delivery, I will help you” he assured him. Tate Owen embraced and thanked him.

On their way home, Anna was quiet. This attitude was unlike her. She’s a vibrant talkative who never lets anything go without passing a comment. But after their encounter with Tate Owen she became unusually quiet.

Julian Brabra strongly disagreed with the thoughts coming to his mind that perhaps Anna and Tate Owen might have had a peculiar relationship in the past.

And even if they had, nothing intimate ever happened between them. He was the first and the only man that ever had Anna.

He remembered that morning he had woken up and saw Anna and himself naked under the quilt. Anna had cried bitterly and asked him why he had disrespected her so much after she tried helping him.

When she saw that he was drunk and thought it was too dangerous for him to drive in that state, she brought him into one of the hotel rooms .

Only for him to drag her and tore her dress taking advantage of her. Despite her plea to him to spare her that she was still a virgin, he turned deaf ears to her plea.

When Julian Brabra saw the bloodstain on the bed and how Anna was crying he believed her at once. He pleaded with her to forgive him with the excuse that he didn’t know when he did all those things to her. He promised to take responsibility for her. Few weeks later, Anna told him that she was pregnant.

Her father was really mad at him at the time for taking advantage of his daughter. Saying even if he wanted him to marry her, he shouldn’t have raped her. That was what led to their obtaining a certificate at the bureau.

“Darling, are you alright?” Julian Brabra asked. Anna smiled and wirily nodded her head.

“Am fine darling” she replied. Without being asked she offered to give more details about Tate Owen.

“Tate Owen is the son of mum’s best friend. He was involved in an accident that made him have a mental illness.

He could sometimes start saying things that never existed and sometimes he hallucinates”. She said a lot of detestable things about Tate Owen that made Julian Brabra believe that Tate Owen was mentally unstable.

She went ahead and said that Rate Owen was sent to a mental asylum. She was surprised to see him walking around freely.

Mia Rowan went to her parents mansion. It was a large house with every room having its own parlor. Its architectural designs and the furnishings of the entire house depicts the beauty of an influential family.

Father and mother Rowan were always around except when they traveled for vacation. The security system of the house was so tight that no one could come into the mansion whoever you are if the guards were not informed before your arrival.

Grandpa Rowan was still alive and lives there too.

Mia Rowan had called her parents that she was coming over and wished that her brothers would wait for her.

Her brother Mile was a well recognised medical doctor not in ST Petersburg alone but also in Surrounding countries. He became renowned when he successfully carried out a surgery on a twin who shared the same heart.

It was a 50/50 chance of survival. But the surgery was successful and the two babies were alive. Since then the name Mile Rowan was one to be reckoned with.

Eli Rowan took after their grandfather and went into the military. As a young man he had already attained the height of a Lieutenant Colonel.

They all rescheduled their activities and waited for Mia’s arrival.

When Mia arrived, all the servants came out to greet the young madam. Mia was the only daughter of the Rowan family. And as such, she was treated as the jewel of the family.

The Steward held the door open for her and she walked in.

She looked at the faces of her family and felt only one face was not present here; her daughter.

She smiled and greeted everyone seated before going to sit next to her grandfather.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.

Mia had always been her grandfather’s favorite. She looked very much like her grandmother and grandfather Rowan always claimed that Mia was his beloved wife that reincarnated as his granddaughter.

And when Mia was around him, she displayed that attitude of childishness despite her age.

And grandfather Rowan liked it that way saying no matter how grown a child has become, he or she was still a child to his parents.

They talked about everything and anything. They shared snacks and drinks and talked at length until father Rowan told Mia they all had abandoned every other activity to wait for her.

The thought of exposing such a truth made Mia shivered. A secret she had kept for over two decades was going to be revealed in less than five minutes.

But how will her family react to her revelation? Will they be able to forgive her for her callous behavior?

But she had to reveal it if she was ever going to find her daughter. They are the only support and help she needs to bring her dear daughter to her side again.

When Mia opened her mouth to talk, tears clouded her eyes and her voice Suddenly choked. “I have…..
