The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 93

Aidan's POV

Lily brought back my memories before I even remembered who I was.

I was able to figure out that the lady beside me is my wife. She had collapsed after I asked her who she

was and her long face broke into a smile the moment I called Lily.

The moment I called Lily her name, everything came back. I remembered everything, work, my

problems, my mother, and my relationship with Anna.

Our relationship is kind of unique and different from other people's relationship. There was no

courtship, no dating, no love before marriage, and no hope for the future of our marriage, we just

ventured into it, to get what we want and when it is time to leave, we will get divorced and that will be

the end of our relationship.

I would call our relationship backward love because of how it started. We started by making a baby,

getting married, and falling in love, instead of falling in love, getting married, and making babies.

I remember everything now, as well as what and how the accident happened. I don't need to ask any

questions to know who is behind it. I heard his name the first time I woke up and his face appeared

before me smiling wickedly, I knew instantly that he is my enemy.

Nothing can be done to bring him to book, he is powerful and he left no traces. He didn't do it himself

so there was no way we could accuse him. I was sure he had already prepared his alibi to defend

himself.

Getting him arrested will be just a waste of time. We need to find something else to nail him down and

this accident of mine is not one.

I am thinking of how to safeguard Anna and Lily better than before and I am thinking of employing the

services of bodyguards, not someone like Tristan. I thought I would be able to defend and protect

myself whenever Damien comes to deal with me, which was why I asked Tristan to stop following me

and protect Anna and Lily instead, but now he has proven me wrong. He has bigger plans for me.

Anna and Lily barely leave the house. Anna hasn't even been out of the house for a week before the

accident, he must have decided to deal with me first since he wasn't getting any of my family and here I

am, my head is still in a bandage.

I wave all the bad vibes away and begin to think of life with Anna. I remember what I called our

relationship, backward love and I begin to laugh. Anna looks at me strangely.

I sober up so she won't think I am crazy.

"You don't want to know what I am thinking." I tell her.

She peers at me closely. "I won't mind if you share."

"Nah! I don't want any of your tantrums tonight", I look out of the window to avoid her gaze.

We haven't talked about what happened before the accident, she is avoiding the topic but I want us to

talk about it.

"Really?" She tilts my head to face her.

"Let's see if I am going to throw a tantrum, just tell me first." Her touch sends shivers down my spine

and I look away again.

"Whatever!" She dismisses me, when I refuse to say a word and I smile.

The car enters the mansion and pulls over in the driveway. "Here we are", she utters and I gaze at her.

She smiles and says. "Welcome back home, Aidan."

Anna's POV

"Home sweet home", I heave a sigh of relief as I help Aidan out of the car. The front door bursts open,

Tania, Natalie, and the rest of the maids come out to welcome him. They bring out his belongings from

the trunk of the car as we enter.

Pamela, Richard, my mother, and Aidan's mother were at the hospital before he was discharged this

afternoon. Aidan wouldn't allow his father in and the man left dejectedly. I pitied him.

We began to pack after he left so we could leave the hospital. By the time we were done, it was already

7 pm. Aidan's mother gave me a sweet hug and my face broke into a smile.

"Thank you", she whispered into my ears.

That gesture alone lifted the veil of guilt I have been wearing ever since the night of the accident and I

began to feel proud of myself. I don't need anyone to tell me about Aidan anymore, I believe I know him

enough now and whatever is left, I am going to figure it out on my own.

We have been acting like normal couples. He said he remembers everything but I don't know if he

remembers the kind of relationship we are into. Aidan and I stayed in the hospital for two weeks, he

regained consciousness on the fourth and regained his memory a week after. When he asked me who I

was, I fell to the ground and lost consciousness.

I thought Aidan would never remember me as the mother of his child. Other times, I was thinking he

was doing it on purpose because he now hates me for making him go through pain.

But now I feel relieved, not fully though. We haven't talked about what happened.

I guide him into his room with the maids that have our belongings.

They drop the bags and leave quietly. I guide Aidan to sit on the bed and he gave me a sweet smile.

My heart swells with joy and I feel proud of myself for no reason. Belongs to NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

"Welcome back home, boss", Tania and Natalie bows in respect.

I feel the bowing is unnecessary and I have tried to stop them but they wouldn't listen. They are so

loyal to their big-headed boss, I roll my eyes at them, and they both smile.

"Thank you, Tania and Natalie. Thank you for the concern and show of love, I am grateful and happy to

have you as a family." He grins.

Am I surprised that Aidan is grinning and saying such sweet words? Of course, I am.

What is happening? Is this a dream or what? Did that accident transform him into a completely different

man but with the same body, appearance, and looks?

"We are glad to be part of the family, sir", they both chorus as if they had practiced before coming. "We

will leave you to rest now."

"Thank you", he regards them with a smile before they leave.

There is silence as we look at each other.

"You should have a bath before going to bed", I suggest.

"Nah!" He shakes his head.

"What? Not again!" I open my eyes wide. Aidan is always reluctant to take his bath these days, I don't

know why.

He pouts. "I know you want to start scolding me but please do not do that today."

"What is not going to happen today is you not taking your bath, get up boy," I say threateningly and he

begins to laugh again.

His laugh is throaty, sweet to the ears like music and long. I haven't heard Aidan laugh since we got

married and hearing him laughing this way is overwhelming.

"You sound like a mother, scolding her child", he mutters with another short laugh.

I smile and walk to his bed. I feel a hot bath will let him sleep soundly. "I am a mother, aren't I?"

"Yes, you are", he says and falls silent. I sit and want to help him to remove his shirt over his bandaged

head so he won't be having difficulties doing that himself when he stops me with his hand on mine. I

feel an electric jolt and I stare at him.

He shakes his head. I know I have to give up.

I want to stand up when he pulls me back. "Anna?"

"Uhmm?" My heart is hammering hard, as I peer at him, wondering why the sudden change in mood.

"I know we haven't talked about us and what happened..."

"Aidan, I don't think this is the appropriate time for this", I cut him short.

"It is the right time. What if I had died? Or what if I die tomorrow?"

"What rubbish are you saying?" I hit his shoulder and he wince. "Oh my God, sorry."

"It's ok", he chuckles. "You don't want me to die, right?"

"I wouldn't be here if I wanted it", I roll my eyes. He laughs again. I don't know why I am suddenly

scared to leave his room now.

Why is he talking about death? He didn't die in the hospital and now that he is home, he wants to die?

"Let's talk, then."

"That is if you stop talking about death," I warn him.

"Everyone will die someday", he asserts. I nod. That is true but nobody wants to die, even though we

all know that someday, we are going back to our maker. I don't want Aidan to die, I don't want Lily to

die, I don't want my mother to die and all the people I love. I wish there is something that can be done

but there isn't, this is what makes life a reality. We have to face it.

"Forgive me", he jerks me out of my reverie with his apology.

I blink and watch him. He has a sad look on his face, the smile and laughter are gone as he looks

remorseful now.

"I wouldn't be here if I hadn't forgiven you", I reply. He did not say anything and I am not saying

anything either.

Then he asks. "Anna, do you truly love Tony?"

I am not expecting a question like this. I wish we can just skip this and save ourselves the

embarrassment. I don't want to even think about it anymore. I feel bad that he caught me kissing

another man when I was still his wife.

Now I know he is right, Aidan was right all along. It is wrong for me to date another man when I am

married to him. I thought I was doing the right thing but it was at a wrong timing.

"Anna, please answer me. If I hadn't entered that night, you would have said yes to him, right?"

"You love him, right?" He asks again. It doesn't make any difference if I love Tony or not. We can't be

together anymore because he already broke things up with me over the phone. What then is the use of

admitting my love for him.

"I beg you to answer me", he says with a tone of authority. I raise my head to look at him. He is still that

same man I fell in love with, he is just a bit different now.

"Yes, I wanted to accept him", I confess.

When he didn't say a word, I burst into tears.
