The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 68

Tessa's POV

This new lifestyle of mine is beginning to bore me to death. Being a good girl for more than 6 months and not having the time to sneak out to parties with Zoe is frustrating but I feel it is time to break free from my father's hold and watchful eyes.

I hate corporate outfits but I find myself wearing them for more than 5 months now.

I find myself going to work with dad every morning, just so I can appease him. It wasn't fun at first until I stumbled upon Williams and one other guy who is a new intake. Williams and I became really close and I began to feel coming to work is worth it as far as he keeps admiring my sexy dresses and shapes.

I now barely remember how depressed I was months ago about the humiliation that befell me but I guess I was able to get out of it because of how fast the videos and pictures about that night went off the media. I don't know if my father is the one responsible for doing that or Aidan but I am grateful to whoever did it. I don't know if I will still be able to show my face to the world if it had gone viral that I was dumped for a local girl.

I have come to terms with my hatred for men in suits. I like Williams too and he wears a suit almost every day. I like the way he worships my body like the most beautiful woman on earth, and he doesn't seize to tell me how beautiful I am.

But last night, the sex wasn't the same. It was gentle and I felt it was lovemaking. I didn't enjoy It. I wanted him to be rough with me like always but then I figured out that something was amiss and that is why I have concluded that it is high time I left this f***ing job.

What I figured out is the fact that he is falling in love with me and I don't want that. I don't want us to get uncomfortable with each other. The only man I can love is Aidan. Any other man is just a sex partner.

I am sitting on the chair in my office and twirling it in boredom when an idea suddenly takes form in my head. I grin at the sudden thought of lying that I am ill to my father so I can take some days off from work. That way I can figure out how to stop coming to this hellhole.

I stand up abruptly and take my phone to text my father. It is lunchtime but I know my father will be busy. He usually makes use of the lunch break to host private clients in his private suite within the company's building. I know he won't see the message now and I can't be stopped.

I pick up my bag when I am done and walk graciously to the exit. I won't go home, I will call mom to help me lie to dad that I was home before I left for Zoe's apartment.

I am going straight to Zoe's and I don't intend to go back home anytime soon. I know if I am home, dad will get to know that I am fine. He might question me for staying at my friend's place instead of coming home but I will figure out another lie to feed him with.

I miss Zoe and I can't wait to see her. I walk quietly to the elevator to take me downstairs where I can drive to my destination. I wait patiently for it to stop before entering. My eyes fall on Tony the moment I enter.

"Tony", I beam at him. Tony is the new worker and I have my eyes on him.

"Hi", He smiles shyly. I didn't notice the lady inside is with him until he shines an apologetic smile her way.

I gasp when I see her face. She looks different, she is now looking more sophisticated than she looked six months ago.

"Anna?" I call.
