The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 17

Aidan's POV

I am dumbfounded at the offer.

What sort of ridiculous idea is this? I ask inwardly.

How can she come here to tell me to marry her daughter, who does she think she is?

Why is everyone picking up the topic of marriage to me these days? I watch her shout furiously.

She is angry and it shows how sincere she is about everything she has said. I remember the girl. Yes, I do and I remember the sex with her.

It was the sex that changed something in me and brought back my urges. I thought of her for the first week after the sex with her but after having sex with another woman from a different club, I forgot about her.

I try to stay calm and handle the situation in a good way. I can decide to go for a DNA test after the baby is born to be sure the baby is mine and if it is, I will take responsibility, not because I want to but because I feel my mother will be glad about it.

Maybe this will make her stop pressuring me about getting married. I left the mansion yesterday out of anger without checking up on her like I promised I would before leaving and she had called me this morning. After apologizing and explaining what happened, she reminded me of the discussion we had yesterday.

I don't like having conversations like this in the office. It causes distraction and I hate being distracted. I am still trying to get over the conversation with my father yesterday and here I am faced with another problem.

I know my father will be expecting me to come back to him for help but I would never do that. I am already looking for ways to win the ward, without his help.

"What sort of stupid offer is this? You want me to marry your daughter? Are you insane or something?" I am beginning to think this is all a trap.

How can she come up with something as ridiculous as a marriage? I thought she would ask me to open a business for her daughter or take responsibility for the baby by sending them money every week or every month but here she is telling me to marry her daughter.

"Think about it, I will come to see you soon", she stands up, pulling me out of my thoughts.

Without waiting for my response, she walks majestically to the door. Even though I would love to have a child so I can use that as an excuse not to get married as my mother wants, I know I need to be smart.

I feel this woman before me has a hidden agenda. Why isn't she taking the money I am willing to offer?

I intend to give her some money and get my child from them once it has been confirmed that I am the father. But she isn't accepting my offer.

How does she expect me to accept her offer then? What is she up to? Why is she doing this?

"Evelyn", I stop her. I am making a mental note of her name and I will send it to my private investigator to find enough information about her. I need to know what she is up to and what she does for a living. I also want to know if my so-called baby is in safe hands.

She turns to face me. "Don't you ever come to my office again or you will be arrested." I threaten.

"Really?" She smirks. "I love your audacity. Get me arrested and find your image getting tarnished the next morning."

"How will you feel when I tell the media you raped my daughter when she was not in her right senses?" I am quiet.

"Aidan, you are not only a famous businessman but also the first in the ranking of the youngest billionaires in New York. You know just a little mistake can bring you down and I won't take it lightly with you if you mess with me." She says with venom.

"All I am doing is protecting my daughter. Be ready to bear the consequences of your actions. And think before you make any decision concerning my daughter and her pregnancy." She smiles.

"Till we meet again, future son-in-law", she bows dramatically and chuckles before exiting my office.

I am dumbstruck at her behavior and speechless. I wonder how a woman can be this confident.

She was even threatening me, I said inwardly. If my only mother is this courageous, father wouldn't have taken her for a ride.

I am now more than curious to know who she is. I want to know who I am dealing with. I pick up the telephone and put it to my ears. Whatever the result is, whether she is honest or not, I am still going to deal with her for having the guts to threaten me in my office.

"Hello, boss", Tristan greets.

"I have a job for you", I go straight to the point without mincing words. "I want you to follow the woman that just left my office now. She is in a nude dress and her name is Evelyn. She has a daughter named Anna. Find out where she lives and what she does for a living."

Ok, boss." He answers me.

I will say Tristan is like a private bodyguard. He is always within the vicinity of my home and company, he is always there to protect me whenever there is trouble.

No one knows of him, except me. I feel Tristan is the one to do a clean job for me, I don't want to trust an outsider who might spill the beans to the media.

"And one more thing", I inform him. I am thinking fast. I don't want Evelyn to win this game, she seems smart and intelligent but I want to show her who the boss is. I want to be sure this game is a clean and safe one before I get rid of her for good.

"Go to Exclusive club. Find out if there is a camera in the washroom, if there is, tip the securities and get the camera out to me." I tell him. Evelyn says she has proof, and I know this is what she means. If I get rid of it, she will have nothing to prove to the media that I had something with her daughter.

"Yes, boss."

"Bring the camera to me and Evelyn's information, I need them as soon as possible", I command.

"Alright."

"Get to work", I hang up and heave a sigh of relief.

"Let's see who wins", I smirk to myself.

Evelyn's POV

I am confident of my plan and I am going to push through with my threat if Aidan doesn't do what I want him to do. I am ready to show him the stuff I am made of.

I stop a cab when I am outside the company. I am thinking of other things to do, to make my plan more effective. As the cabman drives me home, I decide to give Pamela a call.

I don't want to lose on two sides, besides I need money to keep my home together before the plan to get Aidan to marry my daughter will work. I know once Anna is married to him, I will have no cause to cry over my financial status. I am sure of that.

Maybe I should start work now and resign once Anna is married off to the idiot, I thought to myself.

I pick up my phone and dial Pamela's number.

"Hello, Pamela."

"Hi."

"Are you still home?" I ask her. I want her to tell her father that I am ready to start work.

"Yes, but I am about to go to school now", Pamela replies softly.

"I want you to help me ask your dad when I can start work", I tell her.

I am now enthusiastic about starting work as a cook in her father's mansion. I know if I don't grab the opportunity now and I lose the game with Aidan, the job in her father's mansion must have been taken by someone else.

"Alright, I will go and ask him now." She mutters.

"Wait", I stop her from hanging up. "I need one more piece of information from you."

"Ok, what's that?" She asks me.

"Help me find out where Aidan Alvarez lives and his parent's home residence, I have a little surprise for them", I announce to her hearing, with a smile. I am proud of how fast I am thinking and working on my plans.

Pamela is quiet. "Ok." She finally says.

"Good. See you tomorrow." I drop the call and rest my back more comfortably on the seat, with a proud smile on my face.
