The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 90

Anna's POV

Most times, I think wrong. I am thinking my thoughts are wrong today also until I see the next thing Tony did, after hugging me.

He asked me to come to his house and I was thinking he wanted to introduce me to his parents again, after waving off the thoughts of him proposing marriage to me.

I was trying to think of a genuine reason why he would invite me to his home. He sent me the address instead of coming to pick me up.

I can't believe Tony is kneeling. I am dumbfounded. I can't blink, breathe, or think of anything.

I know what is happening but I ask myself if I am ready for this. If I am ready, how do I deal with the secret eating me up? How do I deal with being married to another man and being proposed to by another?

How do I deal with explaining things to him and telling him I never had an abortion like I made him believe. If he knows about all of this, will he still be kneeling in front of me and pulling out a box?

"Anna?" He calls and I finally blink. He opens the box and I swallow the gasp that almost came out of me.

"Will you please marry me?" He finally asks. My mouth is agape as I watch his face, still trying to figure out what his reaction will be when he gets to know that the Anna he was wooing a year ago is different from the one standing before him.

This Anna here is married with a child. That Anna was single and heartbroken.

When Cameron broke my heart, I thought I had lost it all. I thought he was the kindest man I ever met in my entire life until he began to change. I never knew other men will find me attractive apart from Cameron.

My world revolved around Cameron and when he broke free and left my world, I thought I was going to remain single forever, I thought my dream of a happily ever after will be far-fetched. But here I am in between two worlds of commitment and responsibility. I do not know what to do anymore or what I want.

I thought I wanted Tony but right now, I am no longer sure if I want forever with him because I feel it is too soon. We barely know each other. I don't know any of his family members and he is rushing our relationship even after promising to take things slow.

"Anna?" He stands up when I am not saying a word. He looks flush and I realize my mouth is still open. He must think I am too awed to reply, he smiles at me.

"I know this is sudden but I feel there is nothing more to wait for since we both love each other. I am madly in love with you, Anna", He touches my shoulder, making me lean forward. "And I know you love me too. There is nothing more to wait for, I want to build a home with you and have you carry my kids."

A tear rolls down my eyes. This is a dream coming true but surprisingly I am not happy. I have always dreamt of a romantic proposal like this. I guess I had given him enough hints. He knows I appreciate quiet occasions.

The room is filled with candles and light of different colors. I can see the table is already set for two, everything is done, the only thing left is for me to say yes but no words are coming out of me. I can't seem to form a speech.

"You don't need to say anything", he says, as if reading my mind. He leans closer and takes my lips while wiping my tears with his thumb.

More tears begin to flow from my eyes with my eyes open. I am now breathing but I still can't get a grasp of what is happening. It feels unreal, it feels like a daydream.

When he pushed me backward, I know I need to say something at least. I need to do something now that won't make me look like a bad person to Tony before someone else tells him about my little secret.

"Tony", I pull away, not looking at his face.

He raises my head and our eyes interlock.
