The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 58

Tessa's POV

My replacement is a beauty to behold. But she is nowhere as beautiful as I am, I know this. I can see

the way she was staring at me with admiration when I first appeared in front of her before she replaced

the admiration with a nonchalant attitude.

She is nowhere as sophisticated as I am and that relieved me a bit. I thought Aidan will go for someone

better than me in all ramifications, someone more sophisticated and classic but here she is, nobody.

I can see how she is finding it difficult to ignore me like I don't exist, I can see how she is trying to sip

her wine like the elite that she isn't, I can see how difficult she is trying to play along and I am glad that All rights © NôvelDrama.Org.

my presence is making her uncomfortable.

It is quite obvious that she knows who I am already and what I am to Aidan. Whether Aidan gets

married to her will not change anything between us. Aidan will still be mine. I am sure he is getting

married to her for a reason. I am trying hard to let go of the fact that all my plans with Trevor and the

efforts as well as the sacrifices are all in vain. But I just don't get why Aidan will do this to me after

making me feel all is becoming rosy between us.

What exactly have I done to deserve this humiliation?

"You must be Anna, right?" I flash her a sweet smile.

She drops the glass cup and returns the smile. "Yes, I am. May I know who you are?"

I scoff. "Stop pretending like you don't know me."

"I don't", she shrugs. "I can see you are just arriving and no one has introduced us to each other yet."

"Are you curious to know who I am then?" I am enjoying the little drama she is trying to play with me.

She is a smart girl indeed but I want to show her I am smarter than she is. I am going to be careful with

my words so I can get her weakness.

"It depends on whether you want me to know you or not '', she chuckles lightly. "I don't interfere in

matters that don't concern me, so I see no reason why I should ask you who you are if you aren't

interested in letting me know."

"Really?" I am impressed, as well as curious to know what Aidan must have told her about me.

"You seem like a nice person, I won't mind......"

"Anna?" I cut her short. I can no longer contain my anger and the stupid pretense.

I want her to know I am her rival and enemy and I am not here for jokes. I am here to warn her to stay

out of my way.

"How did you know my name if I may ask?" The look of amusement is still on her face and it is pissing

me off. I feel she is enjoying this more than me. I am no longer enjoying it.

"You are a nobody so nobody knows you. But now that you are getting married to the youngest

billionaire in New York, you will be a recognized figure and I am sure you are doing this for a reason,

probably because of Aidan's money." I smirk.

"Well, not everyone is born with a silver spoon like you", she pulls her tongue out with a funny face. I

scoff and fold my arms, watching her.

"You seem to know a lot about Aidan", she takes a sip of her drink. "Are you his sister? I was only

introduced to his father and mother."

Did she just say his father? Does Trevor know about this all along? Why didn't he tell me? Why didn't

he warn me? Why did he let his son humiliate me like this after all I have done just to prove to him that I

am worthy of his son and madly in love with him? Is it because I had sex with him? Did Aidan find out?

"You aren't his sister?" She peers at me as I didn't answer her.

"I am more than that", I fake a smile.

"Oh, really?"

"Really!" I answer her loudly.

"I am curious", she grins broadly. I find the stupid grin on her face annoying so I decide to speak up.

"I am Aidan's girlfriend."

"Oh!" She laughs mockingly, covering her mouth with her left hand and waving the other hand at me.

"Sorry, I didn't mean to laugh."

"Why are you laughing?" I rest my back more comfortably in the chair. I really want to know what she

finds funny.

"Nothing, dear", she chuckles again. "It's just that I find it funny that his girlfriend is sitting across his

bride-to-be and having a chit chat with her."

"You think Aidan is marrying you because he wants to?" I want to reduce her self-esteem.

She shrugs nonchalantly "Who cares?"

I smile and look away. I catch Richard staring at me from the other angle, he is sitting with a lady and

she is also looking in our direction. I wonder if Richard also knew about Aidan's plan to dump me.

"I can see you are desperate for fame and you think Aidan is the...."

"Shut up, loser!" She barks at me. The smile on her face had vanished.

"How did you even meet? How did all of this happen?" I ask her after a moment of silence?

"Love happens and how we met is none of your damn business."

"Really?" I lean forward and murmur. "I guess it will become my damn business when he dumps your

silly ass. You have no absolute idea who Aidan is. I know him and I know you are not his specs."

"I am not his spec, yet we are getting married? You are his type of girl yet you are sitting in front of me

looking like a loser?"

Her words pierce my heart. I want to slap her across the face. I tighten my fist on the table, fuming in

anger and stopping myself from punching her face and slapping her dirty mouth. Who the hell does she

think she is?

I am about to say something when I see a shadow hovering over us.

"Sorry to interrupt, ladies. I am here to take my bride home. The baby needs to rest", Aidan appears

from nowhere.

I didn't process what he said at first but when the words ring a bell in my head for the second time, my

eyes widen. I shuttle my gaze from him to Anna who is with a mischievous smile on her face.

Aidan stretches his hand out and she put her hand in his gently. They were gazing at each other

lovingly and I feel jealous of the way Aidan is looking at her. He has never looked at me that way before

and I wonder what is wrong.

He pulls Anna up gently and wraps his arms around her waist. She chuckles and pecks his lips. My

anger intensifies but I am trying so hard to contain it. I don't want to do something that will add to my

humiliation.

When they disengage, I trail my eyes down to her stomach and I can see the small bump. I gasp.

Anna is truly pregnant, I say inwardly.

How long have they been together? How long has this been going on? Did Aidan plan all this? Why

didn't I notice something was fishy? How could I have been so stupid?

"If you will excuse us, Tessa..." He pulls me out of my reverie.

"Let's talk", I say sharply, cutting him short.

"Okay?" He raises a brow.

"Why did you do this?" I feel betrayed by everyone and I am trying not to attract attention here by

keeping my voice down. I feel betrayed by Aidan, his father, and Damien.

Damien pretended not to know me. He used me. Aidan is using me too, just like his father had done. I

have always been a girl men used to get what they want and once they get it, I will be left to the

sidewalk of life.

This was the same thing Alex did that made me give up on loving someone else again, until these men

came into my life, confusing me and making me crave for their touches. I love Aidan so much and I like

Damien too. I love the sex with him and I like the way Trevor worships my body in bed. I am damn

confused. I am hurt and in pain.

All I want to do right now is to slap Aidan for doing this to me, storm out of here and pretend not to be

hurt, go home and cry myself to sleep, wishing I will never wake up again to this sad reality.

"I should be asking you that question, Tessa", he replies, getting me more confused.

What did I do?

"What did I do to you?" I hold back the tears threatening to fall.

I can't cry in front of this riff-raff, I say to myself when my eyes interlocks with that of Anna. She isn't

smiling like I thought she would be doing. She is looking at me with pity and I feel more embarrassed,

sitting here and looking vulnerable.

"Who did you have sex with three weeks ago?" He asks me. My mouth opens in surprise. How did he

know I had sex with his father? Did Trevor tell him? Is this a plan like Zoe said?

"You think I am stupid? Of course not. Maybe I would have forgiven you if it was with someone else

and not....."

"Your father made me do it", I shut my eyes. I feel confessing my deeds will lessen it all. Aidan is damn

mad at me.

"What? He made you do what?"

"He...he said he was going to teach me what you like in bed", I confess. I feel stupid right now. It

sounds stupid.

"What?" His exclamation made me realize he didn't know I had sex with his father.

"You slept with my father?"

"No..yes. I mean no", I shake my head.

Anna scoff, I glare at her coldly.

"This is unbelievable, you slept with Damien and my father? And you expect me to.."

"I'm sorry, Aidan. I didn't mean for all this to happen." I apologize sincerely. I am on the verge of crying.

I shouldn't have spilled the beans to him, I thought he knew already. I thought Trevor betrayed me. I am

so stupid.

"Sorry?" He laughs sarcastically. "I told you I can't marry you from the onset, I wonder what made you

think I will change my mind. You are nothing but a whore." He spits.

I begin to sob silently. He grips Anna's hand roughly and I watch them go towards the exit. I can't watch

him go just like that.

"Aidan?" I shout his name, forgetting where we are. People turn to me and I know I am doomed for the

second time tonight.

Aidan stops walking when I call his name and the silence in the room is disturbing. When he didn't hear

any more words from me, he drags Anna out with him.

As much as I didn't want to embarrass myself more, I can't help but weep right in front of the

cameraman who appeared before me from nowhere.
