Ran Away Pregnant Came Back Alpha Heiress (Amelia and Damien) novel Chapter 196

Chapter 196

Amelia’s POV

Annette.

That was my name. When Jake told me, I asked him to repeat it again, unsure if I heard it right the first time. It didn’t feel right, but then again, nothing really did. I’d been feeling out of sorts since I woke up in this strange place, when Healer Eve and Dr. Wyatt started talking to me like we were friends.

I’d been training to be a Healer apparently. Gods, I didn’t remember any of this.

It was almost too much for me. Yet, the familiarity and safety I felt with Jake and… Mom and Dad… kept me steady in a hurricane of emotions. Innately, I knew I could trust them. I had no evidence of that, but I still understood it to be true.

They must have been my family. My name must be Annette, and I must have been raised alongside Jake and Sienna, the sister I hadn’t met yet, with my mother, Lillian, and my father, Martin.

I trusted and believed Jake when he told me these things.

Soon after, Eve told me I could go home. I was excited as we drove to the estate, but when I saw it, I felt disappointed somehow, like internally, it wasn’t what I expected.

That was strange, wasn’t it? But then, so was everything about this.

Eve had warned me this could be difficult. She cautioned me even before my family had arrived at the hospital that I should just go with the flow and not push too much against my family. She promised they would take care of me and I would be safe.

I trusted her as I trusted them. I didn’t feel unsafe at this estate, it just didn’t feel like home.

Maybe I had moved out at some point. Maybe that was what I was thinking of.

When we entered the house, Jake excused himself to go speak with Sienna, while Mom and Dad showed me around. As we were looking, I tried to piece together some of my memories, but a lot of my mind felt blocked off. If I tried to think too much about the past, it gave me a headache.

Just go with the flow. Eve’s advice, I tried to take it to heart, repeating those words when my head started to hurt.

But, as we walked through the house, I started to notice a few discrepancies, like, in all of the family photos, there was Jake, and who I assumed to be Sienna. But where was I?

“Are there any photos of me?” I asked, hoping to see myself as a child.

Mom paled a little, and Dad cleared his throat.

“This way,” Dad said, redirecting me, “is the kitchen.”

He walked a little ahead as Mom came up beside me. “We’ll make it up to you,” Mom said. “Starting tomorrow, we will take all new photos.”

“It’s okay,” I said, not wanting her to feel bad. “I was just curious.”

Truly, I wondered, if whatever had caused there to be no pictures of me in this house had been my fault. Maybe I had done something to strain the relationship between my parents and me, and they took all my pictures down…

Whatever it was I had done, I hoped I could fix it. I didn’t want my family to be mad at me, especially when I

didn’t remember – especially when they were all I had left in the entire world.

Everything outside these walls was a frightening, unknown mess. My parents and Jake, and hopefully my sister, were the only people I could trust.
