Chapter 68
Chapter 68
Tessa's POV
This new lifestyle of mine is beginning to bore me to death. Being a good girl for more than 6 months
and not having the time to sneak out to parties with Zoe is frustrating but I feel it is time to break free
from my father's hold and watchful eyes.
I hate corporate outfits but I find myself wearing them for more than 5 months now.
I find myself going to work with dad every morning, just so I can appease him. It wasn't fun at first until I
stumbled upon Williams and one other guy who is a new intake. Williams and I became really close
and I began to feel coming to work is worth it as far as he keeps admiring my sexy dresses and
shapes.
I now barely remember how depressed I was months ago about the humiliation that befell me but I
guess I was able to get out of it because of how fast the videos and pictures about that night went off
the media. I don't know if my father is the one responsible for doing that or Aidan but I am grateful to
whoever did it. I don't know if I will still be able to show my face to the world if it had gone viral that I
was dumped for a local girl.
I have come to terms with my hatred for men in suits. I like Williams too and he wears a suit almost
every day. I like the way he worships my body like the most beautiful woman on earth, and he doesn't
seize to tell me how beautiful I am.
But last night, the sex wasn't the same. It was gentle and I felt it was lovemaking. I didn't enjoy It. I
wanted him to be rough with me like always but then I figured out that something was amiss and that is
why I have concluded that it is high time I left this f***ing job.
What I figured out is the fact that he is falling in love with me and I don't want that. I don't want us to get
uncomfortable with each other. The only man I can love is Aidan. Any other man is just a sex partner.
I am sitting on the chair in my office and twirling it in boredom when an idea suddenly takes form in my
head. I grin at the sudden thought of lying that I am ill to my father so I can take some days off from
work. That way I can figure out how to stop coming to this hellhole.
I stand up abruptly and take my phone to text my father. It is lunchtime but I know my father will be
busy. He usually makes use of the lunch break to host private clients in his private suite within the
company's building. I know he won't see the message now and I can't be stopped.
I pick up my bag when I am done and walk graciously to the exit. I won't go home, I will call mom to
help me lie to dad that I was home before I left for Zoe's apartment.
I am going straight to Zoe's and I don't intend to go back home anytime soon. I know if I am home, dad
will get to know that I am fine. He might question me for staying at my friend's place instead of coming
home but I will figure out another lie to feed him with.
I miss Zoe and I can't wait to see her. I walk quietly to the elevator to take me downstairs where I can
drive to my destination. I wait patiently for it to stop before entering. My eyes fall on Tony the moment I
enter.
"Tony", I beam at him. Tony is the new worker and I have my eyes on him.
"Hi", He smiles shyly. I didn't notice the lady inside is with him until he shines an apologetic smile her
way.
I gasp when I see her face. She looks different, she is now looking more sophisticated than she looked
six months ago.
"Anna?" I call.
She shifts her gaze to me but I find no sign of recognition.
Isn't she the one?
"How are you, Tessa?" She smiles at me. I almost thought she didn't recognize me. I look from her to
Tony wondering what she is doing here and why she is with Tony.
"What are you doing here?" I can't hold my curiosity.
She throws me a harsh glare and turns to Tony. "Let's go."
Tony nods as the door opens and they both walk out. She is wearing a red V-neck short gown with
strappy heels. She has her lips in red gloss and that was why I could barely remember her.
I watch them go out of sight till the elevator closes back and begins to go down. I tilt my head and think
deeply. They look close together and I wonder if Anna is cheating on Aidan.
How do they know each other? I ask.
Then I begin to think of the possible ways they know each other and what form of relationship is
between them.
Suddenly, I remember seeing the college Tony graduated from and I figure out it is the same as Anna's.
I saw her picture on the day of graduation.
Ever since the award night, I have been spying on her on social media. But the picture didn't show her
full length so I didn't know she had already given birth then, until later when Damien informed me.
I grin widely as the elevator stops and I walk to the driveway.
If they are from the same college, then it means there is something between them. They must have
been in a relationship before the wedding with Aidan but now they want to either continue from where RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
they stopped or they have continued already.
Then it means one thing.
Anna is cheating on Aidan. I know Aidan hates sharing but this is something I can use to destroy their
marriage.
That way, I can finally have Aidan to myself, if Anna is out of the picture.
