The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 63

Aidan's POV

I had a long day at work today. My work has increased ten folds now that I have new clients, new ideas

that I want to work on before the year runs out.

Ever since the award night, I have always signed a new deal almost every week. I now have a personal

assistant because of the workload. My personal assistant and the secretary now help me in reducing

the loads of work I have to work on every week before the arrival of new ones.

I know I need a vacation but I can't go on one now. I have a lot to cover before then. I am also planning

on launching my new innovative skill next week in Los Angeles. I have employed new workers for

innovative ideas and they are really helping. I am also partnering with Madeline's steel manufacturing

Industry and I have established a car company in Boston.

I release my tie the moment I get out of the car. I heave a sigh of relief for being home after a long day.

I am a bit early today unlike the other days of the week. I have been getting home very late for the past

three days now but today I am at home at exactly 10 pm.

I now work on Sundays too because I don't like staying at home with my wife... Anna. I mean I don't like

the idea of staying home alone with her. We avoid each other like plague and the silence that engulfs

our home anytime we are around each other is disturbing and makes me uncomfortable.

I could go days without talking to my roommates when I was in high school and even after high school

but now, with a wife who is carrying my child, it feels absurd.

I stroll into the house and yawn. All I want to do now is to take a hot bath and go to bed, tomorrow is

another day to start work from where I stopped. Because of work, I barely have time for going out and

having sex with girls that Richard gets for me, except once in a while. Sometimes, I bring them home

while other times, we spend the night in my villa.

"Hey, welcome home", I hear Anna's voice. I turn to where she is sitting with her protruding belly.

I didn't know she was there. She is barely awake each time I arrive home. It is either she is already

asleep or she is inside her room, preparing to sleep. I am surprised she is welcoming me. She stands

up and walks close to me with a smile.

"Good day", I greet her and walk towards my room. I am hoping she won't follow me and I am glad

when I can't hear any footsteps behind me.

What is wrong with her? What is with this strange behavior tonight? Does she want something?

She has enough money in her account and I doubt if she wants something from me. I know women

tend to be nicer when they want or need something from you.

"Aidan?" She calls me as I get to my room door. I thought she had gone to her room already. I am not

in the mood for any chit chat tonight or any argument.

Why is she following me? I ignore her and enter but before I can close the door, she stops me with her

leg sticking to the door.

"Courtesy demands that you answer my greetings, Aidan. What is wrong with you? How long are we

going to keep ignoring each other?" She raises her voice.

"Courtesy?" I sneer and throw my bag on the bed. "You are in my house and my room."

"Really? I thought it's my room", she sounds sarcastic.

"What do you want?" I turn away from her and begin to undress. I can't wait to get into bed.

"What do I want? Why do you keep asking me that? I hate it when you do that, you make it look like...."

"What do you want, Anna? I am damn tired and I need to go to bed", I grit my teeth, then face her

squarely.

She glare at me coldly. "I don't want anything. I waited for you on purpose...."

"Why?" I cut her short.

"She scowls before answering. "I made you dinner."

"What?" I can't believe what she is saying. She made me dinner and she waited for me on purpose.

"Why didn't you let the maid do the cooking?"

She shrugs. "I just thought I should make your meal today."

"I didn't ask you to. Besides, I am not hungry, you can go now." I turn back to remove my trousers.

"Aidan, you need to eat please. I spent more than an hour preparing that meal and I have been trying

not to sleep for more than two hours because I want to...."

"Anna?" I snap at her in anger. She is getting on my nerves. I am now in my pants only. "I didn't marry

you to cook for me. I married you to only be in my house and give me my baby. Don't get on my nerves

and stop doing what I ask you not to do. Why are you being stubborn?"

"This is unfair, Aidan", I can see tears welling up in her eyes but I don't care. She caused all this.

"Go to bed."

"You think it's easy being here all alone all day long without anyone to talk to, not even the man I call

my husband or perhaps my baby father? Do you think I am happy?"

"I don't care, Anna. You and your mother signed up for this", I remind her.

She looks at me without saying a word. I am expecting her to say something but she didn't, so I turn

back to pick up my towel from the closet and stride to the bathroom door.

She signed for it. And Evelyn too. They should bear the consequences.

Anna's POV

Now I know how heartless Aidan is. He isn't even considering my condition. I know he is cold and

arrogant but I never knew he is also heartless. I am doing all of this for his mother, I wouldn't be doing

this if it is of my own free will.

Aidan wants me to hate my baby but I won't. I just can't wait to get the baby out so I can get my life

back.

His mother came visiting and she asked me to take good care of her son. She advised me to be patient

with him but I am losing my patience.

Aidan is a wicked soul and I can't take it anymore. I thought starting up a conversation with him today

will be a great way to kickstart a new chapter of our lives.

I asked the maids to retire to bed early, giving me a chance to make his meals. I am disappointed and I

doubt if I can take this anymore. I don't think I can stick to the promise I made to his mother if he

continues behaving this way.

I stand waiting, lost in thought till he finished taking his bath. When he comes out of the bathroom with

water dripping from his wavy black hair down his broad body, I quickly look away so he won't think I am

ogling him.

I can see he is surprised to see me still standing.

"You know so well that I didn't want this too, Aidan. The least you can do is make things easy for each

other till it is time for me to go, is that too much to ask?" I begin.

He didn't answer, he saunters to his closet instead, like I don't exist.

"Aidan?"

"What?" He barks.

"Why the hell do you like shouting?" I yell back. "Why are you making it look like I forced the whole

thing on you? Why are you making it look like I am pinning you down with this pregnancy?"

"Maybe if you didn't let me have sex with you that night, we won't be here", he points his finger at me Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

as he speaks.

"What? Are you blaming me for what happened?"

"Aren't you blaming me too?"

"You seduced me, Aidan", I remind him.

"I seduce you? Why didn't you stop me?"

"Are you stupid?" I move close to him but he didn't look threatening. "I am a decent girl, I am nowhere

as loose as the girls you carry about. I was a virgin before I met Cameron. What do you think of me?"

"You were a virgin but you are no longer one." He states and my lips tremble.

Maybe if I was a virgin when we had sex, he would have valued me more, I thought to myself but my

subconscious thinks otherwise.

"Do you know you are shameless?" I demand from him. "You are married, yet you bring girls to your

matrimonial home? How will you feel if I bring men into this house too?"

"I think you have forgotten the rules guiding out the contract. I am not stopping you from dating but my

baby needs to be out first. I can date whoever I want and I can bring them here because this is my

house", he says firmly.

"Take your baby out already, then. I am tired of all these." I push my belly towards him and he moves

backward. I am mad at him.

I claim I am here because I want my baby to have a father but I don't even have one. I don't know

where my father is and whether he is dead or alive, but here I am. I survived it. I survived living without

a father, my baby can live without her father.

I feel like moving out of his home right now. I can't keep staying here when he doesn't even know my

worth. I am not waiting for him to recognize me as his wife but I want him to value me as his baby

mother.

I need to move out, but first I need to know something. This will determine whether I am going to leave

his home or not. What I want to know is to question my mother and know where my father is.

That will determine what my next line of action will be. Aidan is a motherfucker and he deserves no pity.

I push him away and storm out.
