The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 62

Tessa's POV

"Aidan is married?" I open my mouth in disbelief.

I can't believe he eventually married that low-life girl. I thought something will happen and he will

realize she is not his type of girl but the message before me proves otherwise.

"Congratulations, Aidan is married to Anna Gomez", it reads.

Damien sent me the message. He has been calling me for half an hour now but I did not pick up his

calls. He sent the message instead and I can't believe it.

Is this a prank to make me pick his call? I ask myself but after waiting for some minutes for his call to

come in and it didn't. Now I know the purpose of his call. He was calling to taunt me. To make a

mockery of me by informing me of Aidan's marriage.

I had no idea Aidan is married and I am still surprised by the news.

How did Damien know when it is obvious that the wedding was a quiet one?

Ever since the incident that happened on the award night, I have spent most of my time at home. I

haven't gotten over all that happened that night.

My father slapped me for the first time in the 25 years of my existence but my mother was supportive

as always. She comforted me and it gave me the strength to face my dad the next day. He has been

persuading me to start work since I spend most of my days at home and I am thinking of considering it,

just to make him happy and let him forget about my misdeeds.

I need no soothsayer to tell me how Aidan got the video. It was apparently from Damien. He tricked

me. He betrayed me and I hate him. I am also going to deal with him for what he did.

I wanted to lay low till everything was down before I can go back to the way I used to be. I have the

intention of getting my revenge on Damien and Aidan but I intend to start with Damien for being a

traitor. I heard he is married and I will make sure to ruin his marriage.

I miss Zoe and the other girls, I miss going to the club, I miss shopping and dressing up and I miss

having sex. I just need to obey my father for a while, to gain his trust again before I continue living my

life the way I want it.

However, I am hoping to meet a dude in the company so it will make my stay worthwhile. I guess I have

to start getting myself used to men in suits.

I feel stupid for being the pawn that Damien used to get back at Aidan. Aidan claimed he is no longer

interested in me because of the video but I know it's a lie.

He is only using the video as an excuse to dump me. Anna is already pregnant and it means they have

been together for a while. My father thinks he dumped me because of the video too and he keeps

blaming me. Trevor did too. He called me careless and I told him to fuck off.

I have been shutting everyone out for almost two months now. I am starting work next week hopefully

and I will gain back my freedom after a month of becoming a regular in the office. I can get back my life

then. I can get back my interest and desire and I can also get my revenge.

Damien is first, then Aidan. I am going to ruin their marriage. But first, I need to visit Anna, I smirk to

myself.

Evelyn's POV

I have no idea what this kiss means but I know it is the beginning of several things. It is an indication

that I have to let go of my passion, cooking. I need to leave work in order not to cause more havoc.

Mr. Adam's countenance is showing no emotions and I don't know what to think or what to say. Pam

and I are still not on good terms because of what happened the other night when she saw me with her

father and heard him introducing me to his friends as his girlfriend.

Thinking about what happened that night and how proud I felt being shown to the world that I am a fake

girlfriend of a man like Adams, I ask myself if this kiss means anything to him.

Is it another fake thing?

Anna insisted that I stop working since we now have all we need. I have a house of my own and I am

working on opening a big restaurant soon. I haven't spoken to Aidan about it yet but I have enough to

help me out.

But I love cooking for Adams, I love seeing the delightful look on his face whenever he eats my food. I

love seeing him mumble in joy because of how delicious it tastes and I love watching him eat, as well

as our usual evening chat. He is down-to-earth and kind. I began to realize this after that night.

We talk randomly about different topics, including the fears we harbor about our children. One day,

when I asked him about Pamela's mother, he waved the talk away. He avoided it anytime I wanted to

bring it up. Then I told him about Pam's fear and he assured her in my presence that there is nothing

between us.

Now, I am more than confused. The same man that was assuring his daughter is standing here before C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

me, giving me a look that I have no idea about and waiting for me to comment on the kiss.

What am I to say? You are a good kisser?

He is indeed a good kisser. He caught me off-guard. I am still in my apron and I stood up after watching

him eat, to go home when he walked close to me and pecked my lips with a smile on his face. I opened

my mouth in surprise and he took advantage of it. He kissed me again, more thoroughly and I am left

breathing heavily in confusion.

I don't know how I am feeling either. When he asked me to be his date to the event that night, I was

excited because it felt like a privilege but now I don't know how to feel. I don't know if it's right for

anything to spring up between us, because of Anna and Pam.

Anna will never approve of it because her friend and Pam won't like the idea.

"Evelyn?" He calls.

I jerk out of my thoughts and stare pointedly at him. He looks embarrassed. He must have been

expecting me to open up for him and jump up in excitement. But I can't. Even though I can't deny the

fact that I like him too.

My relationship with men over the years has taught me great lessons and I know it's better to be safe

than sorry. Adams won't be the first man that I like and I have tried to control my feelings for him. Now

that it seems he is proposing something to me, indirectly confessing his feelings for me, I feel it is time

to fight off my emotions.

Adams and I are friends now, our relationship has gone past that of an employer-employee but I want

to maintain that friendship till the end for our daughters.

Anna will hate me forever if Pam fights her because of me. I can't let that happen.

"I'm sorry."

"I'm sorry", we both say. He watches me intensely, even though I still can't figure out what he is feeling

but I can see how hurt he is. He knows what my sorry signifies.

My rejection. I can't accept him. I like him but I can't do this. No one will believe that I like him, even

Anna.

"Evelyn, you....."

"Please, sir", I beg, interrupting him from saying whatever he has to say. I don't want to hear because I

don't want to be persuaded into something I will regret later. I pick up my bag from the table, remove

the apron from my neck in a hurry, and without looking at him, I stride out quickly, hoping he won't stop

me.

Even though I have been hurt by men in the past, I still believe in true love because I have experienced

it in a good soul but I don't know if I am ready to move on and find true love again.

I don't know if Adams is that good soul, aside from my first true love. Even if he is, we can't be together.

Being together will cause our daughter's enmity and that will never happen.

I know I won't come back here again now that things have changed between us. It is better to be safe

than to be sorry.

I am no longer working with Pamela's father.
