The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 69

Anna's POV

I am in deep shit, I mutter inwardly, as I increase my pace, trying to run away from the bitch. I thought she had gone into hiding when I didn't see her after the award night but I got to know I was wrong when she came to the mansion to look for me after Lily's birth. I didn't allow the maids to let her in and here she is again.

I never knew she works here too, I wouldn't have come looking for Tony. He asked me to come so we could grab lunch together. Since Lily was asleep in the nanny's room and I was bored being at home, I decided to come over to his work so we could talk and eat at the company's cafeteria.

Something beautiful is already springing up between Tony and me and I am damn scared this bitch will ruin it. I am less concerned about Aidan getting to know, my fear is Tony.

I haven't been able to summon up the courage to tell him I am married to a man I don't love. I haven't been able to tell him about my baby. He hasn't asked me either and I hope he doesn't ever ask. I have a feeling Tony thinks I went for abortion as I mentioned the day he heard the conversation between Pam and me.

Tony and I have become closer over the months. I didn't want to meet with him because of my pregnancy, I didn't want to push him away with my situation. He insisted on meeting with me but I kept postponing our meeting till a week after Lily's arrival. I was so glad Lily came before graduation day, I wonder what I would have told Tony.

He hasn't said anything about my pregnancy and I don't intend to tell him anything about it. We met last week and we have kickstarted a new relationship. I know it's too soon but I can't wait any longer. I no longer want to waste my time, leaving a sad life because of my child.

Now that she is here, I can get divorced anytime I want and take her with me. If Tony is serious, I am going to marry him.

I gave birth to my baby a day before graduation. My graduation from college was the best thing ever with Lily around. We went together with Aidan and Lily's nanny. I attended so I could get my certificate.

Lily's arrival brought unexpected joy and happiness, it gave me imaginable freedom and peace of mind. I do the things I like, I buy what I want and I go wherever I need to go.

I am no longer bored in the house with Lily's around. She makes me smile whenever I remember I gave birth to her.

Aidan doesn't care whether I date other men or not and I don't feel bad for dating Tony while in his house. Aidan still dates other girls and he brings them home once in a while.

Despite six months of staying in his home as a fake bride, he is still the same man I know him to be; hardworking, busy, quiet, harsh, rude, and arrogant. I like his soft side but he rarely shows it.

I made a decision the very day I got to know about my father, the very day I got to know I had two fathers. My mother is still regretting the fact that she didn't get to marry the man she loved and I am hoping the same mistake won't happen to me.

I am only with Aidan because of our child, we don't love each other. I want to love my life, aside from being his unwanted bride. I am already tired of being tagged unwanted, everything about me screams unwanted.

The maids in the house knows that I am their boss's unwanted wife and because no one outside our home and immediate family recognizes me as his bride. It feels right but sad.

I want to experience love in a good soul and I want to be loved. Finding love is definitely not here in Aidan's home.

"Hey, wait up", Tony runs to catch up with me. We are on the other side of the building now and I didn't even realize I am a few meters away from the cafeteria.

My mind is in turmoil.

I know the cafeteria because this won't be the first time Tony and I will be there. Now that he works, he doesn't have time to take me out on a date in the daytime and I am trying to avoid going out with him at night. My baby needs me the most.

"Hey", he calls again and holds my hand, thereby stopping me from walking any further. We face each other squarely and he smiles after watching me for a while.

He is smiling because of my angry expression. I sigh deeply and I feel my anger dissipating immediately. Tony has his charms.

"Who is she?" He tilt his head towards the direction we were coming from.

I don't know how to answer his question. My heart is thumping wild in fear, I don't know what will happen when Tony gets to know I don't only have a baby but I am also married to my baby father. I don't want him to ever know but I am having a weird feeling about seeing Tessa in his workplace. I am scared she will tell Tony.

"She is a nobody", I answer and look away with guilt.

"A nobody?" He ask with a raised brow.

I know he isn't buying my lie. "She is someone I don't like", I confess.

"That's obvious", he chuckles lightly and holds my hand more firmly. We begin to walk towards the cafeteria but my mind Is elsewhere. I am thinking of what to do to make sure Tessa doesn't say a word to Tony.

Should I just tell him the truth before Tessa does? I ask inwardly. I don't see myself explaining my stupid, fake love life to Tony and about my baby.
