I’ll take care of everything
Arabella gazed at Letta, who had been silent in front of her for the past ten minutes. Of course, Arabella knew that at this moment, the wife of her former fiance and childhood friend must be hesitant to confide in her due to the past connection between herself and Marco. This made Arabella finally let out a long sigh.
“If you’re hesitant to tell me everything because of my past relationship with Marco, it’s better to hold back. I don’t want you to feel burdened,” Arabella said, causing Letta to glance at her briefly before looking down at her fingers.
“Yes, that is indeed my concern right now. I always used to tell Marco everything I felt, but somehow, I feel like there’s something within me that’s preventing me from breathing freely,” Letta said, making Arabella look at her for a moment.
“That might be because you need someone whom you can confide in. Yes, that’s why I’m offering myself. Maybe because we’re both women, we might understand each other. I’m not forcing you, though. If you’re unsure, you don’t have to force yourself,” Arabella reassured her.
“And, one more thing, between my relationship with Marco, we can’t just sever it because of our long-standing friendship since childhood. But don’t worry, if you want me to keep it a secret, I will never disclose it to your husband. I’m not the type of person who enjoys spreading other people’s secrets to my close friends,” Arabella assured.
Then, Letta fell silent once again. “You know, don’t you, that I don’t remember anything that happened in my past?” Letta said, causing Arabella to fall silent. Yes, she knew from Helena, although not in detail, but Arabella understood Letta’s current condition.
“And lately, it seems like I’m starting to regain my memories,” Letta said, slightly startling Arabella. Arabella looked at Letta with raised eyebrows. “So you remember everything?” Arabella asked, making sure, as Letta shook her head.
“I can’t be certain. I just feel that everything I dream about is a fragment of a memory I had previously forgotten,” Letta reiterated.
“So, you mean you’re dreaming? I mean, you’re dreaming of everything you should remember?” Arabella asked, making Letta nod.
“Indeed, it’s been more than a week now, since I met a man who claimed to be close to me in the past. Since then, I’ve been having recurring nightmares. Initially, I was confused as to whether it was a recurring nightmare haunting me, but after talking to a psychiatrist, it’s likely a fragment of memory I should remember,” Letta said, causing Arabella to furrow her brows, not expecting Letta’s condition to be this severe, until Marco took her to the psychiatrist.
“So, what’s making you feel confused right now?” Arabella asked again.
“I don’t actually know what’s a dream, what’s my hallucination, and what’s my actual memory. Although a few times I was certain it was my memory, I have to make sure. And to do that, I have to meet the person who actually knows me from the past. You know, even all this time, I’ve just stayed at Marco’s grand house, only knowing the people around Marco. I also only know that I love Marco without knowing the details of our past relationship,” Letta said, making Arabella fall silent. Of course, Arabella couldn’t possibly tell her how their initial relationship was, as she didn’t want to complicate things.Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.
“What’s your plan then?” Arabella asked again.
“I want to meet the man I accidentally encountered, his name is Abian. I asked Marco to arrange a meeting between us, and he also said he would try to find the man through Pedro, but so far, Marco hasn’t given me any updates,” Letta said, making Arabella fall silent. What Letta said couldn’t be true, as Arabella knew the strong connections Marco and his subordinate Pedro had. Especially when it came to finding an ordinary person like that man, they would surely find him quickly.
“Have you asked Marco about it again?” Arabella said, making Letta nod.
“I ask Marco every day, but finding a ‘regular’ person like him seems a bit challenging,” Letta said. “And I can only wait because it’s the only way to find out about my previous life. But if I keep asking Marco about that man, I’m afraid he might misunderstand me,” Letta said again, making Arabella understand what Letta meant about Marco feeling uncomfortable. Surely, the overprotective man would feel disturbed by Abian’s presence.
“If only I could help you, but I can’t assist you because I know you also wouldn’t be familiar with this man, right?” Arabella said, making Letta fall silent.
“Yes, I only know his name, but if I could see his face, I would definitely recognize him,” Letta said again.
“Where did you meet him?” Arabella asked again.
“At one of the parties, while I was accompanying Marco. I don’t know why Abian was there, but I think he was also a guest at the event,” Letta said, making Arabella fall silent before asking, “What was the last party you attended with Marco, revealing your identity as his wife?”
“What was the last party you attended with Marco, revealing your identity as his wife?” Arabella asked again.
“Yes, I met him at that party,” Letta answered, making Arabella fall silent. She was also invited to the event, but she didn’t attend, thinking it wasn’t that important.
“What will you do if you meet that man?” Arabella asked again, making sure.
“As you heard, I have to ask him about my past,” Letta replied.
“Will you trust him immediately? There’s no guarantee that he’s telling you the truth, right? What if he’s just using you? What if he only wants to take advantage of you?” Arabella asked, leaving Letta silent.
“I don’t know, but when I talked to him, somehow I felt certain that he was a good person from my past,” Letta replied, because she could still feel the sincerity when Abian explained it to her.
“Alright, then I will try to help you,” Arabella said, making Letta look up. After that, Letta stared at her with an incredulous look.

“You want to help me meet Abian?” Letta asked, making Arabella nod.
“Yes, I will try to find him. Even though your husband isn’t capable enough to find that ordinary person, it seems like my connections can help. And I won’t be responsible if anything happens to you. I will only help find him. After that, you have to handle it yourself, and I won’t meddle with your issues with Marco. If you have problems, don’t involve me,” Arabella said, making Letta nod.
“Yes, I’ll take care of everything. I just need to meet him,” Letta said again, making Arabella nod. Arabella also didn’t know what had happened to her. Why did she have to go to such lengths to help Letta and be kind to her? Initially, Arabella had disliked Letta a bit for ruining her relationship with Marco. But now, for some reason, Arabella saw Letta just as a woman. So, for Arabella, there was no harm in helping her. After all, she wouldn’t lose anything, she thought.
