The Billionaire's Secret Lover novel Chapter 80

“ Nina”

I turned as soon as I heard my name being called. Lillian walked into my room in her white nighties glaring up at me. I don't know why she was angry. I was not doing anything wrong. I only stood at the window gazing out at the clear sky wishing for a clearer future from now onward.

“ You haven't bathed? It's six am already” Lillian called to me, opening my closet to get my dress and shoes out. 

“ Get your ass into the bathroom this minute” She screamed up at me while she stood with her hands on her waist glaring at me seeing that I wasn't making any effort to compile.

I rolled my eyes at her as I stepped away from the window and strolled to meet her where she stood in front of my wardrobe” Remind me again why you are my bridesmaids? My God! You are so bossy”

“ If I don't boss you around, who will?” Lillian smiled at me before pushing me into the bathroom and closing the door. I scoffed as I got into the bathtub to bathe.

Today was my wedding but I couldn't help feeling agitated. I hope today will go well! I hope I won't be facing Deborah! The truth is I'm still very scared of her. These past few months have been quiet without anyone hearing anything from her. I just hope she stays that way...

“ Nina Miller!!” Lillian screamed, alerted me as I walked out of the bathtub. I dried my body with the towel and stepped out of the bathroom glaring at her.

“ Why are you screaming, my na____?” But I couldn't complete my sentence as before me stood Juli with three other people who were smiling at me but that wasn't what got me gasping.

 It was Drew Lima of Glossy Beauties, she was one of the most sought-after make-up artists in the country. I have always dreamt of having make-up done by her but I couldn't afford her service because it was expensive. That's why I'm wondering why she's here and in my room.

“ Drew Lima!!” I called at her turning to look at Lillian who looked like she would faint any moment from now. I finally knew why she had screamed my name. She was shocked to see her here too!

“Yes, Miss Miller” Lima smiled as she stretched forth her hands to shake mine“ Mrs. Thompson wasn't exaggerating, you are really beautiful”

I blushed red. It was embarrassing hearing her compliment me“ Thank you.” I told her my eyes, going to Lillian who was glued to my wardrobe in shock.

“ I will be doing your makeup today if you allow me” I nodded at her as I smiled. It was a dream come true to have her do my make-up on my wedding day...

“ Please have a seat!” She motioned me over to my dressing table where her box was opened ready for work.

I sat down and closed my eyes and let her do wonders with my face while Lillian went to bathe. I still haven't seen my mom this morning and I've been wondering where she was?

“ It's done.” I open my eyes thirty minutes later to gasp at myself in the mirror. I couldn't recognize the woman staring up at me. She was beautiful and classy. I hope that's what Mrs. Thompson was expecting to achieve, that is why she sent Lima here.

“ Wow! Nina, you are so beautiful” Lillian gushed at me from the doorway as she just came out of the bathroom. I smiled at her and stood up from the chair to give her space to get her face done.

I strolled out of the room in a towel to go check out on my parents seeing that the house was too quiet for my liking. I met my father in the sitting room helping Shane knot his tie.

“Dad!” I called to him as I ran to hug him, pecking him on the cheeks. I had missed him as I have been busy with the wedding preparations that I haven't had time to chat with him. I wanted to do just that yesterday but it was already late when we arrived from the florist...

Dad looked at me from top to down, frowning his disapproval at me“ Why are you still on your towel?” Dad asked me. 

“ I will get dressed now, just wanted to check on everyone,” I told him apologetically as my eyes got the wall clock across from us. It was past nine a.m.

“ Be quick. Michael is already in church waiting for you” Dad replied as he turned to push me up the stairs to my room.

“ Wait a minute dad,” I called to him from the stairs as I turned to look at him, he was still frowning at me.

“ Where's mom?” I asked him, ignoring his frowns. I haven't seen mom since morning and I couldn't help but worry about her.

“ She's getting dressed. I don't know why you women take too long dressing” Dad replied as I rolled my eyes at him and went into my bedroom.

 I knew what mom was trying to do. She's taking her time dressing so that Mrs. Thompson won't be the best dresser at my wedding. They can never change! They are behaving like my wedding is some kind of function that gives awards for the best dresser.

“ Come, quick get into your dress” Lillian called to me with my dress in her hands. Lima was already through with her makeup, she was packing her box with the help of Juli and the other girls.

“ Thank you for your time, Miss Miller. I'll go help your mom with hers” Lima said as I nodded at her before she stepped out of the room. I quickly got into my dress while Lillian helped me with the zipper.
