Chapter 6 Man In My Dream

"This must be a prank!"

The man smiled broadly, as did the other man, who was standing behind him in a straight and alert manner.

"Leo, no one would dare to deceive an heiress to the Jeremiah family," the man said softly. "It even took us almost whole years to our life to trace your footsteps until we confirmed that you were the person we had been looking for."

"I don't understand what you mean, sir. How could I be the heiress of the Jeremiah family? I was an orphan and lived in Madam Marry's orphanage since childhood," I said warily. "This is too strange! And you, who exactly are you?"

"I am your twin brother. My name is Jayden Varin Jeremiah XI," said the man calmly. He looked at the man behind him. "He is Denzel Sadrin, our grandfather's personal assistant."

The man named Denzel nodded his head respectfully to me.

I massaged my forehead. My head suddenly felt sore, because of all the strange information that came at once.

"Mr Jayden, whoever you are, I think you should just leave before I call the police," I said fiercely. "I didn't believe all your words. This is too strange!"

I couldn't just believe these two men in front of me because they were strangers and the information they said was completely unreasonable.

The man named Jayden laughed and at that moment I realized that the way he laughed was exactly the same as me. His eyes narrowed and his lips curved into an arc, that's how people describe the way I laugh.

I was stunned and it seemed Jayden saw my confusion.

"You can call Mrs. Marry and ask her about all this, if you still don't believe it," Jayden said softly. "We got all the information about you from her."

I thought hard, remembering what Mrs. Marry, my adoptive mother at the orphanage before. Hearing what she said and how Jayden interacted on the phone with her, I didn't think it was possible that the two men in front of me were criminals who wanted to trick me. They put in too much effort to deceive me, who is a nobody.

"What do you guys want?" I asked carefully.

"Come with us to our house and you will get an explanation of this whole situation," Jayden answered. "We have so much to talk about."

I stare at him and I see the truth in his eyes, so I decided to follow my curiosity and follow them.

"Wait here, I'll change clothes," I said sternly. "Stay still! Don't come in or I'll press the alarm and the police will come right away!"

Jayden laughed and raised both hands up. He then got into the car.

"Take your time freely. I'll wait," he said lightly.

I changed clothes quickly and put the pepper spray and taser in my bag. I also sent Chaty a short message, telling her about the two men and their car numbers.

The car I got into was absolutely amazing. The interior of the luxury car uses shades of brown and cream with warm wood motifs. This must be a special and limited edition and the price, I can't imagine how expensive it is.

"Where are we going?" I asked Jayden who was sitting in the front seat next to Denzel, as driver.

"Our house. Your house," Jayden said softly. "Grandpa is waiting for us there."

"I don't understand, how can I be the granddaughter of Kent Jeremiah IX?" I muttered, more to myself. "Even in dreams, my imagination doesn't go that far."

"This isn't a dream, Leo. We've known about you since two years ago," said Jayden.

"Two years ago?" I asked confused. "And why have you only come now?"

"Because, we want you to live your life according to your wishes. At that time, your wish was to be with your ex-husband and we couldn't interfere because you would definitely reject us immediately. We needed to take into account many things to approach you," explained Jayden. "Until then, we just continue to collect evidence and witnesses to strengthen the data about you, so that when we finally meet you, you can trust us completely."

I was speechless when I heard Jayden's words. If it's true that I'm part of the famous Jeremiah noble family, they certainly won't act carelessly and deep inside me, I'm starting to believe Jayden's words.

The car driven by Denzel drove towards the outskirts of the city and entered the Green Hills area, where only a few luxury mansions and villas filled it.

After a while, the car entered a large and sturdy gate, leading to a very magnificent mansion in the middle of a green field and beautiful gardens around it.

My eyes couldn't blink at the mansion, as well as its stunning surroundings.

Peter bought a big and beautiful house after his career progressed, but I think it was only one tenth the size of the mansion in front of me.

Denzel stopped the car in front of a circular courtyard that surrounded a beautiful decorative pool with a stone statue of two small children pouring water into the pool.

I was stunned. That stone statue, I think I've seen it somewhere, but I forget where and when.

Jayden got out of the car and opened the passenger door, then reached out his hand to me.

"Come on down, Leo. This is our home. Where we were born and raised, at least until you were three years old, before you lost," said Jayden.

I put my hand in Jayden's open hand and walked with him into the mansion.

Without realizing it, I squeezed his hand, when the mansion door opened and behind the door, on the right and left sides, were lined up with several men and women in uniforms combining dark blue and yellow. They all bowed respectfully towards us, as Jayden took my hand inside.

"Welcome back, Ms. Leora," everyone said in unison. Everyone smiled kindly at me.

I nodded awkwardly and embarrassedly and walked closer to Jayden. The man chuckled and tightened his grip on me.

"They are all household staff at J mansion," Jayden said in a calming tone. "Everyone has been waiting for you, Leo."

"J mansion?" I asked.

"Yes. This mansion was built by the first Jeremiah about 500 years ago and from then until now, it has been continuously renovated until it has the form it has now. The original building is immortalized in photographs which are placed in the museum on the north side of this mansion," said Jayden.

"Museum inside the mansion?" I asked in amazement.

"Yes. Not only that. This mansion also has a cinema with a capacity of 100 seats, two medium-sized halls, one main hall, a golf course, a mini zoo, a swimming pool with a play area, an indoor tennis court, a sports area and gymnasium, and a library. You might need a month to explore it. I'll take you later," Jayden said with a smile.

"Jeez," I muttered.

The Jeremiah noble family is a name that means unlimited wealth, famous, and large companies that have branches almost all over the world, in fact, as far as I know, the company where Peter works is also part of the parent company of the Jeremiah group.

How can I be part of this luxurious and magnificent life?

"Am I... Going to stay here?" I was confused. I feel like the contents of my brain are now turning into a confusing blurry picture.

Jayden squeezed my hand. "Of course, sis, you're Jeremiah."

"But--"

"Don't be afraid. You will soon get the answer to whatever is confusing your smart brain."

Jayden took me to a large door and opened the heavy looking door, opening into a room full of books.

A white-haired man stood at the end of the large room, in front of a large table. He smiled with his arms spread wide.

I gasped. That white-haired man, the same as the old man in my dream!
