The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 79

Aidan's POV

I don't know why I can't hide my emotions.

As much as I was trying to hide my irritation when she insisted that I go back to work, I couldn't. I

showed her that I was upset and she did not even call me back to apologize.

I instructed the maids to let her sleep and take care of my baby before heading back to work. I had the

intention of staying with her, till she fall asleep before going to my room to call Chloe to bring me some

files home so I can work from home. But since she wants me to go, I will.

Tristan gave me information about Evelyn's restaurant. I didn't let him stop from monitoring her

movement and what she does. He said the construction has stopped for more than a week now. At

first, I was glad because that was how I intended to punish Evelyn but now I am thinking from a

different light, as a changed man.

I no longer want to be bad, I no longer want to punish her or her daughter anymore. I thought they

deserved it but I am wrong. What Anna said to me last night is still stuck in my head, which is why I

was unable to sleep well last night. I kept thinking about all the things I have done and all the things I

intend to do to make them suffer.

What I feel right now for them is pity. Anna said something about not having a father. I was born with a

silver spoon despite how rough my teenage stage was but Anna wasn't born with that same spoon.

I suddenly have respect for Evelyn for how strong she is for her daughter. I have received several

messages from her asking me to help her with some money to complete her restaurant but I ignore

them all. I thought I was doing the right thing.

She has stopped calling or sending me messages and I feel it's right I do her a favor by completing it

and sending her some money. I also want to compensate her for all the troubles I have caused her and

her daughter. I might not be the perfect son-in-law but I am ready to change for good.

I park the car in the driveway and walk inside. I approach Esther on the desk. She bows in greeting

with a smile on her face when she sees me walking towards her.

"Welcome, sir."

"How are you?" I try to smile at her but it comes out as a grimace.

"I'm fine, sir."

"I want you to call the Head of the Construction Department. Tell him to go to this place with his

workers and complete the work on the building", I take the pen on her desk and scribble the address NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

where Evelyn's restaurant is situated on it.

"I will be busy so I don't want anybody to distract me. In case they have any questions about the

architectural structure, tell them to call this number", I put down Evelyn's number from my phone.

"Alright, sir", she replies.

"Good. Have a cheque of $200000 delivered to this person as well", I point at Evelyn's name on the

paper before dropping the pen.

"I will do just that, sir."

"Take care", I move away from her desk and take long strides towards the elevator.

Since I am now at work like my wife requested, I need to start work and I don't want any form of

distraction. I hope to finish on time so I can go home early to check if she is ok.

The elevator dings open and I enter. Within minutes, I am on my floor.

My footsteps announce my presence and Chloe rises from her chair.

"Welcome, sir."

"How are you, Chloe?"

"I am fine, sir", she responds.

I nod and begin to walk past her when she stops me. "Sir?"

I turn around to watch her, wondering why she stopped me.

"Someone came to look for you, sir", she informs me. I furrow my brow. I remember telling her to

cancel all of my appointments for the day when I was rushing out.

Did she forget to do as instructed?

"I thought I asked you to cancel all the appointments for the day?" I ask her.

"I did, sir." She replies.

Who came to look for me, then?

"Who was it?"

"She is not someone I know, sir."

"You did not bother to ask for her name?" I question.

"I did, sir."

"Who was it?"

"She said her name is Paige Fernandez", she answers freely.

"Paige?" I mutter out loud. I need no soothsayer to tell me who Paige is. I need no one to tell me that

Paige who came looking for me is my ex-fiancee and she is back in New York.

Tessa's POV

Damien is back? I can't believe it. I am glad it will ease my plan to get my revenge on him. But I believe

I can't do this alone. I want a partner and I don't know if Zoe will help and support me.

I think I am obsessed with Aidan. As much as I want to deal with him too, I can't help but feel sympathy

for him because I still love him and I don't want any harm to befall him.

What then do I do now that he has no eyes for me and my heart keeps beating for a man that doesn't

want me?

If Damien hadn't betrayed him, I would have loved to have him as a substitute but I am deeply hurt by

the betrayal. I even thought he was beginning to fall in love with me. I still haven't figured out how to

deal with him. I got to know that his wife was Aidan's ex.

There is a probability that he doesn't love her and he just wanted her because of Aidan, the same thing

he did with me. Ruining his marriage won't do him any emotional damage.

What do I do?

I am still thinking when my phone rings. It is the father. I haven't been going to work and he didn't see

me the other day I went to work to check the data about Tony's background.

Tony graduated from the same college as Anna and my instinct was right about them dating from

college. I know he purposely left me standing that day because he didn't want me to say anything

about Anna. He must feel guilty for dating a married woman and I wonder why Aidan isn't saying

anything yet.

If he doesn't take any action, either by sending Anna out or divorcing her soon, I will take the law into

my hands soon to punish him a little. I would teach him a lesson he will never forget but I am not ready

for him yet. I want to meet with Damien first.

As for Tony, I am going to visit him and blackmail him. I am going to tell him that It's either we have sex

or I tell Aidan he is dating his wife.

I am going to do what Damien did to me, I will record the sex and send it to Anna so she can see how

unfaithful her sweet boyfriend is. If he continues to avoid me, I will do just that.

My phone rings again but I don't feel like picking up his calls. I know he wants to ask me to come to the

office and I am not interested. I have been feeling unwell since the day before. Zoe gave me some

painkillers and I have used them. I am hoping to be better by tomorrow so we can go to the club.

How do I punish Damien and Aidan now that I know how to deal with Tony and Anna?

Finding a way to punish Damien seems more difficult than Aidan. I know Aidan more than I know

Damien. I can get Aidan through his baby if the plan about Anna's cheating doesn't work out.

As for Damien, I have to be smarter because he is a tricky man. I know he is dangerous and I find this

challenging. I like challenges and I can't wait to have him beg me.

Should I send an assassin to kill him?

Should I visit him? Should I kill him myself with a gun or poison his drink when I visit?

I can't seem to think of a good idea that won't make me to be a suspect.

I turn grudgingly to the other side of the bed, feeling unsatisfied with my blank head. I am not thinking

fast. I need to plan fast so I can execute them on time. If my father continues to trouble me about work,

I am going to leave New York and go live with my sister, Freya.

I know where she is but I have kept that a secret from my parents for more than 5 years.

I did not know when I sleep off until I began to dream about how I kidnapped Aidan's baby and how I

killed Anna and Damien. I smile in my sleep.
