fanqie novel
Thirteen
~Eva’s POV~
I groaned before getting my phone and started reading the articles I have saved about my fiancé. And all I was seeing are his trading company and his achievements.
Damien went to great lengths to keep his private life private. Which was not easy considering he lived under the media’s constant scrutiny. James his assistant must have played a great role in it.
I wondered if there is any bride in the whole world who doesn’t know what kind of place and person she is moving in with after her wedding. No, I wonder if I am the only bride this is happening to.
I got some information from the article. It says that he is the top third richest in the USA. I zoomed one of his pictures, his statue was patting. Even his abs were easily seen from his tight turtle neck white shirt. His face was perfect!
Then why is he marrying me? Why did he?…. Did he fall in love with me? … It doesn’t seem that way, he hardly ever calls me. I wonder if he is thinking about me right now. And we haven’t saved each other’s numbers. I don’t know for him but he definitely hasn’t. I only get contacted through his assistant.
It was a work-free day for me. The day would really be busy for me.
My personal driver was a great help to me today. I wanted to enjoy my one day off work, visit places and get a cool breeze. Earlier the day, I instructed him to hire a car, leave it at the mall and get me a ticket to one of the best cinemas and amusement packs. He’d done so, no questions.
After lunch, he’d drop me off at the amusement park with the rented car. I instructed him to come back in three hours for the cinema. There is no way I planned to let anyone know of my movement today. This is my business and not anyone’s.
Although I was quite capable of driving myself around. I didn’t need any security, just a pair of dark glasses and a baseball cap to hide my face. Besides, it was an adventure to be doing something on my own for a change.
I came back earlier than I expected. Everything was boring to me the movie was just a telling a story about me, A billionaire romance movie. It was more annoying when the lady breached the contract because of love…
Resting my back on the bed, I let all my frustration out. I don’t like being weak, it was the worst thing ever. I don’t remember the last time I cried. Even when mom left us I didn’t shed a drop of tears. But the day I was ridiculed because of it, the day I bawled out in front of my school like a little girl. The memory was still fresh on my mind. It was the day I met and became friends with Brenda. I laughed a little recalling that day. “How foolish I was then”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
A soft knock on my door brought me back to reality. I sluggishly walked to the door and opened it.
” Where have you been all day? ” Brenda and Sarah chorused.
” We have been waiting for you, Camilla came over to help her sister – in law with her wedding shopping, but unfortunately she left after fruitless hours of waiting,” Sarah said as she placed her hands on my shoulders.
They both walked in and sat on my bed. Sarah was on my left while Brenda was on my right. Brenda leaned her head on my shoulder while she raised her eyes brows to stare at my mouth for an explanation.
” I had some work to attend t…”
“Work?” They interrupted. ” who works on the day to her wedding? you should be shopping and organizing a small party to say goodbye to spinsterhood
“It’s not like I have large circles. All the people I should celebrate with are already here except dad. We should rather toast a wine” I said.
“Better off” Sarah agreed, nodding continually.
” Now you are embarrassing me” I heard my dad’s voice from the door. I lifted my head to see him leaning over the wall with a black polo shirt and a short.
“Dad!” I hurried to hug him.
” Are you going to party without daddy? “He asked. His finger tip was pointing at my nose as I looked up at him with a smile on my face.
” No, dad! I thought you’d be busy with work ” I said.
” I am off from work since 2 pm. I didn’t see you around, you went shopping with Damien?” He asked excitedly.
I slowly separated myself from the hug. I felt a sharp pain of anger in my heart. He definitely is obsessed with Damien and The Alexandros.
“Nope. Your little girl had to rest all day since today is her free day and tomorrow, a busy one” I chuckled sarcastically.
We all went to the sitting room we cocked a bottle of cabinet franc reserve red wine.
” Toast To a long-lasting relationship” dad said as he clicks his glass with mine and did the same for Brenda and Sarah.
” I have to go,” Brenda said after about an hour, it was already getting too late. “It’s been memorable as usual.
“Honey, when I’m around, it’s always memorable,” I said. Brenda smiled producing a solid gold compact and applying an overabundance lips gloss. ” Don’t ever miss the wedding, you must never”
“Sure, I wouldn’t miss it,” she said and went to my room to pick up her handbag.
” I will see her off,” I said to the others and followed her outside the house…
We chatted and laughed on the way but I couldn’t send her back by myself. I was too tired to do so. I ordered my driver to send her home
I sneaked back to my room and locked the door behind me. I was never in the mood for partying.
