I’ll Teach You, Marianne.

Chapter 501 – [Bonus ]Revealing The Secret

After a long and tiring journey, Anne and Alan finally arrived in front of the York Minster. Luckily, on the jet plane, she could sleep well even though she had to please her husband first.

"This is the church you want to visit?" Alan asked quietly, crossing his arms in front of the York Minster.

Anne nodded her head. She didn't make a sound because she was trying to keep herself from crying.

"Well then, let's go in," said Alan quickly, and excitedly walked first into the York Minster area.

Anne was still petrified in place. She also did not step foot after her husband who looked very enthusiastic. Finally Alan turned around and walked over to her, grabbed her hand — inviting her into the York Minster area.

"Looks like this church is very old," said Alan when he was almost inside the church.

"The construction of the current building began around 1230 and was completed in 1472. The York Minster is one of the largest Gothic cathedrals in Northern Europe after the Cologne Cathedral," replied Anne softly in response to Alan's words.

Alan, who was admiring the York Minster building, immediately turned to Anne. "You seem know this place very well."

"There's someone who makes me really like this place."

"Who is it?" asked Alan quickly. He didn't look pleased at all.

Anne smiled. Instead of answering her husband's question, she stepped into the church. Seeing Anne entered made Alan couldn't help but enter the church as well. The first time he stepped into the church, there was a strange tingle that tugged at his heart. It was a strange feeling that Alan had never felt so far, but finally he considered it just an ordinary feeling because of the effects of him not attending the church for the past two years. 

Anne stopped when she arrived in front of the altar. She was standing right where she had said her vow to Jack two years ago.

"Actually, what do you want to show me?" asked Alan getting impatient.

Anne smiled and turned to her husband, her hand reached out to Alan, asking her husband to come closer to her. Alan, who did not understand her, finally gave in and followed Anne's wishes.

"Okay, I'm standing in front of you. Now what?" Alan asked the question again.

"In this place, two years ago I made a vow to a man who had accompanied me since I set foot in England four years ago. And that man was Jackson Patrick Muller. There was no pastor, no family, no parties, there were even no witnesses. Only the two of us and God alone who knows our vows," Anne answered slowly.

Alan raised an eyebrow. "Jackson Patrick Muller? I think I'm familiar with this name."

"Jackson Patrick Muller is the CEO of Muller Finance International which is currently managed by Erick. Erick has been replacing Jack for the past two years as the CEO because Jack was declared dead when he fell in the English Channel two years ago and…"

Anne stopped her words when Alan suddenly raised his hand, asking Anne to be quiet.

"So you're saying you and Erick actually knew each other before? So when you said he and his fiancé helped you while we were in Tromso, it was just a lie? So you have been in cahoots with Erick to get back to that guy named Jackson Patrick Muller?" asked Alan. His eyes were gleaming with anger. "Remember, Anne, even though you have made a vow to that man, I am now your legal and lawful husband. I was also the first man to sleep with you, so don't ever think that you can go back to that guy named Jackson Patrick Muller because of me. I'll never let that happen. And for Erick, it seems like I've been too kind, I have to act tough on him. I'd better ask Luis' men to get rid of that guy. I don't want him to continue to influence you to leave me."

"Alan, stop!!!"

The cell phone that Alan had just taken out of his shirt pocket was suddenly thrown because it was accidentally hit by Anne's hand as she wanted to stop Alan.

"Anne, how long are you going to test the limits of my patience?" Alan shouted loudly.

"Listen to me! I'm not done talking yet."

"There's nothing I need to hear! Do you think I'm stupid? I've given up on following your will to come to this city. I didn't even say anything much when I was invited to go into this church where you made that promise with that guy named Jackson Patrick Muller. But I can't hold my patience any longer when I see the assistant of that man in front of my eyes! I'm not that patient, Anne!!" Alan rebuked loudly.

"Erick is innocent. He just followed the instructions I gave him," said Anne honestly.

"Oh so now you're defending him too, apparently, you're really amazing, Anne."

Anne bit her lower lip hard. She couldn't hold herself in any longer now.

"Yes I am so amazing, I almost went crazy when I found out the man I loved was declared dead in the English Channel. For two years I mourned for him alone, believing that he was still alive, until finally my ruined life was devastated even more because of you. You arrogantly came to me, forced your will on me and trapped me in a marriage bond with you without love, until I finally found out that the man I hated was the man I had longed for. You know, Alan, you are Jack. Jackson Patrick Muller was declared dead two years ago in the English Channel, you are the man who made me excited to live life again after I got betrayed by my ex husband and best friend. You are Jack, Jack is mine. You are not Alan, Alan Knight Clarke had actually died two years ago because of the car accident planned by Roger Douglas," said Anne loudly without pause.

"What are you saying…?"

"Maybe what I'm saying sounds ridiculous to you, but it's a fact. You and Alan are twins. You were raised by your mother and father, while Alan was raised by his grandfather, Mr. David Clarke, who is one of the richest people in Luxembourg. You guys lived apart since you were babies. That's why you two didn't know each other, even Grandpa David knew you were Alan's twin when Luis brought you from England to Luxembourg in a critical condition. You almost died back then, Jack, your brain didn't even respond to anything. Finally, the Clarke family doctors led by Doctor Leo stimulated your brain by giving you Alan's memories, which finally managed to save your life and make you Alan Knight Clarke. You are Jack, the man I love. How much longer will you have to wait to remember me, Jack? Please come back to me, remember me, Jack."

Alan's eyes widened when he heard Anne's words. "What a great story and…"

Bam!

"Jack!!!"
