The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 27

Aidan's POV

I wonder why this woman keeps pushing her daughter into the devil's wrath. She might be the winner now but I ain't started with her yet. I am letting her win solely because of my mother. I am not a man of commitments and I want no form of commitment whatsoever.

I am going to torture her daughter till she decides to leave on her own free will.

This is just the beginning of our game, I muse to myself, about to get to work when the door bursts open.

I raise my head to see who the intruder is for the second time today. I know it won't be Mrs. Madeline because she is not one to miss her appointments and missing an appointment like this means something urgent came up.

Chloe rushes in too, following the man behind. I am not surprised to see the face of the man. I have been expecting him, ever since father told me he was back. I knew he was going to come show off his arrogant self to me.

"Hello, Aidan. Long time, no see", he grins widely like an idiot.

Chloe is breathing hard, looking from me with a guilty look, to Damien, glaring at him for bursting into my office like that. She thinks I am going to take offense.

"I'm sorry, sir. I told him not to come in", she apologizes.

"It's ok, you can go", I dismiss her softly. She didn't look convinced until I nod for her to go.

Damien strides closer to me, looking around my office and nodding his head. I drop the pen in my hand, relax my back and watch his every move. I know his presence here today is enough distraction and I might not be able to do any more work.

I will have to go home early today, I thought.

I think I will just go to the party. I changed my mind earlier because of how Richard was taunting me when I told him I want to get laid. I got angry and disconnected the call even though he kept calling me back.

Now that Damien is here, I know I need something to calm my nerves, and going to the party is the best solution. After calming my nerves, I can start to think of how to deal with him in my way, without letting my father interfere.

"How are you doing?" He finally sits in the chair with crossed legs.

"What are you doing here, Damien?"

"What am I doing here?" He chuckle lightly. "I am here to see you, of course, my dear friend."

"I am busy as you can see so I would appreciate it if you can leave now", I know he isn't going to leave just like that, I just thought I should tell him.

Damien doesn't understand the language of giving up until he gets what he wants.

That was what he did with Paige, he persisted until he got her. I wonder if they are still together. The last time I heard about her, I was told she was getting married to him.

I know Damien is also here to tell me something and I know he is going to spill some of his plans, even if he doesn't want to, I have my ways of knowing and making him give me little hints on what he intends to do to get back at me.

He might be powerful and influential but I am smarter than he is. He has enough connections because of his father, he is nowhere as rich as I am. But I have less influence because I am doing things my way, without anyone's help.

"Busy?" He peers down at me with an amusing smile. "I heard you are getting married." He adds after a short silence between us.

My heart almost stops beating at the statement.

How the hell did he get to know of a decision I just made this morning? How the hell did he know about Anna and the pregnancy? Has Evelyn gone to meet him?

"I just came to inform you that whether you are married to Tessa or not, that award belongs to me alone and I will get it." He vows.
