The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 26

Evelyn's POV

I am trying my luck one more time by going to Aidan's office. My plans aren't easy to execute and I am

left with trying to convince him to do my bidding once more before I do my worst. I wonder why he isn't

even bothered about having a baby. I thought he was going to find me or call me or something but he

did nothing and it is pissing me off.

I am losing patience. I thought of disguising myself to allow for easy entrance into his office,

impersonating one of the people he is going to have a meeting with this morning. But I decided to go as

Evelyn.

I don't want to show him how desperate I am. He need not know so he can succumb to my wish,

eventually.

I gave the receptionist another wad of notes so she could let me in. I move out of the elevator and walk

to the secretary's desk. If she doesn't allow me in, I will burst into his office. I am determined to finalize

everything today.

"Hello", I greet, with a smile. The girl at the desk raises her head. She isn't the lady from the other time.

My heart swells in joy.

This will make my plan easier, I thought.

"Hi, ma'am", she greets back. "How can I help you?"

"I have a 10 am appointment with your boss, is he in?" I ask politely.

"10 am appointment?" She looks into the file in front of her. I am praying that there is an appointment

fixed for 10 since it is a few minutes to the time. I know if there is no fixed appointment for this time, she

won't let me in.

"Are you Mrs. Madeline?" She asks me, raising her head.

"Yes, dear", I flash her a smile. She isn't acting professional and I am wondering if she is the new

secretary. She doesn't look like someone who is used to the things around here.

"Welcome, ma'am. You can go in, the boss is inside", she stands up and leads me to the office

adjacent to her desk.

"Thank you", I show her my appreciation.

When we get to the door, she turns back to go.

"Hey, are you the new secretary? Your face looks new."

She smiles and clutch her hands together. "No, ma. My sister is the secretary. She is in the washroom."

She informs me.

"Oh!" I wave her away and knock on the door. I need to be fast about everything before the secretary

sees me.

"Come in", I hear Aidan say.

I open the door and stride in with a confident gait. "Hello to you, Aidan Alvarez."

His bent head is hoisted up to see me. The furrowed countenance changes into a smirk. "Hello to you

too, Evelyn Gomez."

I didn't tell him my full name the last time we met, I only told his receptionist. I am quite surprised that

he knows. I am also surprised that he is smirking instead of shouting at me to get out. I flop heavily into

the seat opposite him.

"Were you expecting me?" I peer at him with a smile.

"No", he drops his pen and leans back with folded arms. "I knew you would come back. I know how

desperate you are."

"I am not desperate, I am only trying to do what is right", I grin and cross my legs, sitting more

comfortably in the chair.

"Really? Why then are you here?"

"I am here to hear your response about my offer, are you in or not?" This is from NôvelDrama.Org.

"What makes you think I will be in?" He asks me.

"Because I know you will be the loser in the end. As for me, I have absolutely nothing to lose because I

am a nobody."

"Thank God you have just admitted that you are a nobody", he mockingly claps his hand.

I throw him a cold glare. "Shut up!"

He laughs again. "When did you become Mrs Madeline, I had an appointment with her."

"I am a smart woman and I know how to get what I want", I wink at him. "So future son-in-law, are you

in or not?"

He sits back and scrutinizes me carefully.

There is a short silence between us as we keep gazing at each other.

"I want to do this because of two reasons", he mutters. I am a bit astonished that he is letting go

already so easily.

"One", he points out his second finger. "Because of the baby. I want no child of mine to live outside the

confines of my home and two", he points out the third finger. "My mother wants me to be married soon.

She is insisting on getting to know who your so-called daughter is."

I am indeed lucky, I smirk again.

"Your mother is an angel", I appreciate her.

"This is more like a contract between your daughter and me. We will be married for a short time till the

baby is up to 5 years and then we can go our separate ways."

"What?!" I exclaim. "No, I do not agree."

"You have no choice. I am sticking to yours so you have to go along with mine too." He speaks like

someone with no care in the world. "The second thing is I want your daughter and me to go meet my

mother in two days."

"I won't tell her anything", I disagree. "You should do that yourself." I am not fine with the idea of getting

married for a while and going for a divorce when the baby is 5 years old. I haven't told Anna about this

yet and I don't know how she will feel about getting married to the idiot before me for 6 years.

He is silent. "I am sorry I can't marry your daughter then." He finally utters.

"What?!" I exclaim. Why is he going back on his words again?

"You aren't agreeing to my idea so I think we are done here", he picks up the file before him and begins

to go through it, ignoring my presence. I am silently fuming in anger and thinking of what would happen

to Anna after the divorce.

I hit the table in anger. "I agree but I won't tell Anna anything. You should come to the house and do

that yourself", I stand up. I won't let him take me for a ride. Every condition he gives will require another

from me.

I walk to the exit but he stops me. "How can I come to see her when I don't even know where you live?"

I turn back. He is smiling broadly and twirling the pen around his finger. I know I am the winner of this

game but his smile is fucking annoying me.

I march back towards him and grab the pen from him. I bring out a sheet of paper from my bag and

write down the address before throwing the pen at him and keeping the paper on the table.

"Goodbye, mother-in-law", I can hear the amusement in his tone. He is enjoying himself, annoying me.

I am not going to give him the pleasure of doing that.

I replace the frown on my face with a fake smile. "Goodbye to you too, stupid son-in-law." I mumble

before storming out.
