The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 87

Evelyn's POV

I haven't been picking Adams's call since the night we saw Anna at the restaurant. I feel dejected that

my daughter doesn't understand me and is not ready to support me. I only gave Adams a chance but I

am ready to let go already. I want to prove a point to Anna.

But he keeps calling. I have been indoors since that day, crying my eyes out and thinking about my life.

I have no zeal for anything anymore, even my dream of having a restaurant. I saw Aidan's message

but I did not acknowledge it because I didn't feel like it and I wanted him to know that I am not a

beggar.

I don't even feel like going ahead with the building anymore. I just wish the world would go on without

me. I just wish I can have peace. But I am troubled, greatly troubled, and depressed. All I do all day is

to drink and sleep. I am tired of living. I wanted to give up.

When Adams' call persisted, I decided to pick and he asked me to come to meet with him somewhere.

He said he wants me to meet someone and it's important.

Without saying ok, I disconnected the call and sent him a text that he should send me the venue and

time.

He sent it and I went to take my bath to prepare. I was glad I was already sober.

I am in the cab, on my way to the address that was sent to me. It is a restaurant and I hope Adams isn't

doing this just to bring me out on purpose and see me.

But I trust him, I don't know why. I feel he is an honest man and he can't lie just to see me.

I am almost dozing off when the cab stops in front of the restaurant. I pay and get out of the cab. I take

long strides towards the building while fishing out my phone to call in case I don't see him.

The moment I enter, I see him. He is wearing a suit as usual and he stands up to welcome me. I look

around for the person he said he wants me to meet but there is no one beside him and no familiar

figure around.

What is he doing?

"How are you?" He leads me to a seat, after pulling the chair out for me.

"I am fine", I answer calmly, placing my purse on the table. I know I look miserable, I didn't feel like

wearing any makeup and I know my eye bags are obvious. He watches me for a while before saying.

"The person I want you to meet is almost here."

"Who is the person?" I ask.

"It is meant to be a surprise", he grins. I nod.

"You don't look good, Evelyn", he points out.

"I'm fine."

"No, you are not. I called several times but you didn't pick....."

"I eventually did", I raise my voice at him. When he shut his mouth, I regret shouting.

"I'm sorry", he apologizes before resting his back to the chair and still watching me. I did not answer

and I look away from him.

My eyes are scanning the whole place when it falls on the person about to enter the restaurant. It is

Pamela and she seems happy.

I shift my gaze to Mr. Adams. "What is your daughter doing here?"

He turns to see her coming. When their eyes interlock, he waves at her to come forward.

"Can you please explain what is happening here?" I demand as Pam gets to our table.

She looks displeased seeing me and I am not pleased as well that she is the important person Mr.

Adam asked me to come out to meet. I want them to leave me alone. I want them to become my past. I

want Pam to still be my daughter's friend which is why I no longer want to have anything to do with Mr.

Adam.

She doesn't want me to be part of her family and I respect that. Why then won't they let me continue

wallowing in self-pity?

"Calm down, please", Mr. Adam says.

"Sit, Pam", he instructs her and she obliges.

"I am sorry but I will have to leave if you can't provide any explanation to what is happening", I say.

"Sit, Evelyn", he is using his tone of authority on me and I sit back. Pamela isn't saying anything but I

know she is as surprised as me.

"Pam", he holds her hand. "As I told you the other time that there is absolutely nothing between Evelyn

and me, I was being honest but now there is something", he smile wryly.

She removes her hand from his hold and opens her mouth wide. I close my eyes when she looks my

way. I dread the look, it is filled with disappointment.

"I want to marry Evelyn, Pam", he adds.

"What?!" We both exclaim.

"Pam, don't get the wrong idea. I have told him I am no longer interested....."

"But you were interested earlier, right?"

"What the hell is wrong with you two? Is this why I called you here?" He snaps at us.

"Sorry, dad." I am uncomfortable.

"Pamela, your mother and I are done for life, it is high time I moved on with my life. I want to marry

Evelyn", he repeats.

"But dad..."

"No buts", he cuts her short. "This is my decision and I am only telling you because you have the right

to know."

"Dad, mom still loves you", she cries out.

"Is that what she told you? Did she tell you she cheated on me and your brother isn't my son?"

I can no longer be here. I am shocked at Mr. Adam's revelation.

Isn't this too much? I thought we already broke up, why is he here talking about marriage? I can't be

here. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.

I stand up abruptly, cutting him short. "I'm sorry but I need to go. I can't marry you, sir", I utter and walk

out on them.

Tessa's POV

The noise seems to be coming from the living room. I stretch, yawn, and get up from the bed, looking

sideways at Damien's sleepy figure. I hear footsteps and I wonder if there is an intruder in here. I look

at Damien once again, thinking if waking him up is a good idea.

This is an opportunity to kill him now but I won't. The sex was great as usual. I grin and get up. I pick up

my pants and wear them before picking up my torn cloth.

I am glad I am here with another cloth. I wear my bra and open the door slowly to go out. I tiptoe to the

living room where the noise is coming from. I am almost there when I hear a gunshot, I gasp and stand

still, perspiring heavily in fear.

I hear a loud thud and footsteps. My curiosity to know what is happening is gone, I just want to get out

of here. I can't go out in my half-torn dress, I need to go through the front door so I can pick up my

disguise gown. After taking a deep breath and telling myself that I am courageous, I move further.

A hand grabs me and I yell.

"Let her go", I hear Damien order.

The hand pushes me away and I see him. He is the man Zoe and I thought was going to kidnap us the

other day.

Is he working for Damien? Why is he here? What is the gunshot for?

I am breathing heavily as Damien stands in front of me in a robe. The gunshot must have woken him

up.

"You look beautiful", he smirks.

I regret why I did not kill him when I had the chance. I turn back to race for the door when I hear

another gunshot. I fall to the ground, thinking I have been shot but I feel no pain.

I try to stand up when I see blood on the floor. I check my body to see if it is from me. It isn't, it is

coming from elsewhere. I trace the blood to a dead body close by. I gasp when I see the face of the girl

and stand upright. It is Esther.

What the hell is she doing here?

"If you say a word to Aidan or anybody", he points a gun at my forehead. "Consider yourself dead, ok?"

I nod in fear.

"Let's get rid of her, boss", the big man says and I throw him a glare.

Damien chuckles when he sees my countenance. "No, she will live. I like her."

He moves closer and pecks me on the mouth, grabbing my butt. I am stopping myself from moaning. I

hate my kind of body right now.

He spanks me and finally let go. "Go!"

I need no more opportunity to escape from death. I run to the door, grab my big maid gown and hurry

out. I race to my car, without looking back.
