The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 86

Tessa's POV

I move swiftly across the road, in my maid's disguise. I am wearing a sexy dress beneath with a long gown that makes me look like a maid. I am using this disguise so the security or his bodyguard can let me in.

I parked my car down the street and walked all the way here. When I see his house in view, I heave a sigh of relief. The walk down here isn't too far but I am getting tired already, probably because of the big dress I am wearing to disguise my identity and hide my weapon.

I did not tell Zoe I am coming for this. I didn't think about my plan well but I am confident it will work. All I need to do is shoot his brains out and take off. I know Damien will be home by now. I have been monitoring his movement for two days now.

I am about to move to the other side where his house is located when I see a big guy dragging someone out. She looks small but I can't see her face. She seems to be begging the big man about something. I stand as if I am a passerby so he won't notice I am watching. It is dark already. He pulls her into a car and drives off, leaving the gate open.

What a lucky coincidence, I grin wildly.

Without wasting much of my time, I hurry to the other side and enter the gate, being alert in case someone attacks me.

I am not letting the man from earlier bother me because I feel it has nothing to do with me. Maybe he caught his daughter with Damien and he is scolding to ground her for life or something. This is just my assumption, I don't care what the problem is.

I tiptoe closer to the front door and open it quietly. The place is dark and I can't see anything. This is when it dawns on me that I am doing the wrong thing. I didn't plan well despite knowing how dangerous Damien is.

I am about to go outside to think my plan through when a hand clamps my mouth. I bite the hand and the person let go. I try to find my way to the door but I can't see anything.

The light comes on and I see Damien holding his hand in pain. He is standing by the door and I can't go out. I pull down my dress, leaving myself in my sexy clothes and grabbing a hold of the gun I brought with me.

I see him admiring me with a smirk on his face. "Hello, Damien."

"What are you doing here looking all sexy?"

"You don't want to know what I am here for", I move sideways pointing the gun at him. He didn't look threatening, nor did he move. I am thinking he will move back in fear, giving me time and space to stand by the door, shoot him, and run away.

"You look like you are here to kill someone", he winks at me.

My self confidences decrease suddenly. I have never done a thing like this before and I am surprised that the man before me is not looking scared.

Can I even shoot him? Why didn't I think well before coming here?

"Yes, I am here to kill you", I shake my head to wave away the thoughts. "You humiliated me."

"Cut the crap. It was just a game." He smiles at me. I blink and before I know it, he has grab the gun from me and his hand is on my waist. He looks into my eyes intensely and pulls away abruptly with the gun in his hand. Since I have no weapon anymore, I decide to fight him. I jump on him and he laughs, grabbing my butt.

"Get down, little girl. You are no match for me. Give up already", he utters amusingly.

"No, I won't", I hit his chest, even though I am beginning to feel aroused from his nonchalant attitude.

"Really?" He raises my chin. I want to look away but I can't. He moves his mouth closer and kisses me. I see him throwing the gun on the sofa from my peripheral view before I close my eyes. Then, he picks me up while kissing me and finds his way upstairs.

I am lost. I am forgetting why I am here. I want to push him away, run back to the living room, get the gun, shoot him and run away. But my legs won't allow me. I realize I want him, I am already wet for him.

He pushes the door open and throws me on the bed. He smiles again while tearing off my short bodycon gown. He let go of his trousers too before climbing into bed and entering inside me immediately.

Anna's POV

My things are still packed. When I came out of the house this morning, I noticed how gloomy everywhere was, even Lily was unusually quiet today. Natalie and Tania wouldn't talk to me and I began to have a second thought about leaving.

Pam says there is a party tonight and she wants me to come before I leave Aidan's house. We went shopping and by the time we were back in the mansion, it was already late and time to prepare.

Pam tried to convince me. She said Aidan loves me but it sounds ridiculous. This man does not have a heart to love. Even if he loves me, is that his way of showing love?

That is the most absurd way of showing love to someone and I don't even believe her. I know she is only saying that for me to stay. I can't be deceived for the second time.

Natalie and Tania were supposed to help me with my dress and make-up but they were avoiding me. Pam went back home to get ready too and she said she would come to pick me up. I am done dressing already and waiting for her.

Tony called me earlier but I couldn't pick up. He is going to notice my dull mood and he will question me about it. I sent him a text that I was busy and I will get back to him.

"Anna", I hear Pam calling me from outside. I stand up and walk out. She looks gorgeous in her purple gown with ruffled designs at the top. Her hair is great and her heels compliment her dress.

"Get in, we are running late", she says and walks to the driver's door. I move slowly and hop in as she ignites the car into action.

"So, how is Tony?" She asks me with a smile.

I wish we can be in silence till we get to the party. I am thinking Richard is the one who organized the party and I am hoping Aidan won't be there. I don't want us to talk about Aidan or Tony because I don't know who Pam is supporting. I know she likes Tony but she is insisting I stay with Aidan.

"Anna? You don't want to talk?" I nod.

"Ok, but I have something to tell you about your husband", I close my eyes.

When will she stop calling him my husband?

"Aidan has been through a lot and those things are having a toll on him now. He had a rough childhood and he finds it hard to trust people easily. He was betrayed severally by both males and females. His father played a role in who he is today and the scars Aidan is dealing with. The woman he was in love with left him for another man, among others. He has been through a lot and right now, he can't seem to know when he is doing the right thing and when he is doing the wrong. He is uptight and cold because of how he was brought up in a loveless home. Aidan no longer knows what love is or what it means to be in love, Anna."

I wonder why she is saying all this even though I am picking up some points. He grow up in a loveless home? Is that why he hates his father and wants his mother to leave home? I ask myself.

"What Aidan needs right now is a woman who will understand him better and stand by him through the thick and the thin and I feel you are that woman."

"Stop it, Pam."

"Aidan doesn't know he is in love with you", she continues, ignoring me. "I know you like him too from the first few months of your marriage but that admiration you had for him vanished when there was no form of reciprocation."

"Pam?" I almost shout.

"Ok, ok, we are here already", she pulls over and I look into the building. It is a restaurant. It looks like the restaurant Tony took me to on our first date turned out bad. I remember mom and I wonder if I should talk to Pam about it. Mom hasn't returned my calls either and I am worried. I might have to visit her tonight.

I open the door and get out. I walk side by side with Pam, wondering where the party is going on. I am about to voice it out when Pam gasps like she just remembered something or she forgot something.

"Anna, please go along. I need to get something from the car and call dad." She flashes me a smile.

"Ok", I nod calmly. I feel there is no need to ask her questions. I know I will see the people once I am inside and if I don't see anyone I know, I will come back outside to wait for her while she calls her dad.

I continue moving inside and when I get to the door, it opens automatically. I enter and glance around.

"Welcome, Anna", I hear a familiar voice.

My eyes fall on the least expected person. Aidan is wearing a white t-shirt and jean trousers with a face cap. He looks like someone who is going for a stroll and decides to come over here to have lunch. Whereas I am gorgeously dressed. I am wearing high waist leg trousers with a white top, and black stiletto heels.

"What are you doing here?" I ask with no smile.

He stands up with a smile. He doesn't look like the Aidan I know from home, he looks different from his dress to his smile.

I haven't seen Aidan in casuals since we got married. The day he came by our house to beg me to marry him, I found myself admiring him in the casuals, and the same thing is happening now also.

What is happening?

He scratches his head nervously and looks around as if to look for someone to answer my question for him. He also looks embarrass.

"Please, sit."

"What are you doing here?" I ask him again.

His smile vanish and he takes his eyes off me. "This is our first date."

"What?!"
