The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 66

SIX MONTHS LATER

Aidan's POV

I get out of the Ferrari after parking in the driveway. It is past 9 pm already and I am damn tired. I left

work early today because I feel I need to rest so I won't end up sick. I have been working hard these

past few days and I am already considering a vacation soon, with my baby Lily. She is two months old.

I take long strides toward the house with my briefcase while losing my tie with my right hand. I exhale

deeply when the tie is off and my phone rings Immediately.

It is Richard and I wonder why he is calling me this late.

"Congratulations to the jack of all trades", he screams.

"Jack of all trade?" I furrow my brows in confusion.

I have no idea what the idiot is talking about. He always call at the wrong time, either when I am too

tired of his drama or when he wants to tease me about something and I will end up telling him to shut

the fuck up.

"Yeah, master of none", he chuckles. I feel like punching him for making such a silly joke. I am tempted

to drop the call and go take a bath, instead of listening to his stupid talks. I open the door and move in

quietly.

"You are actually different, you know?" I didn't answer him. "The Jack of all trades is usually the master

of none but you are the master of all trades."

"Why are you calling me this time, Richard?" My voice is stern. I want to know if this call is important or

not.

"I'm calling to congratulate you of course and to wish you a happy birthday", he utters.

I didn't even realize today is my birthday. I totally forgot it's my birthday and I wonder why mom didn't

call me today. If she had called, I would have remembered it was my birthday. I wonder why Richard

didn't call since morning and he is just calling now.

What is he congratulating me about? I ask myself inwardly as I slump to the sofa in the living room. I

drop the briefcase and relax my back more comfortably on the chair. I want to be done with the

conversation and go to bed.

"What are you congratulating me for?" I voice out my thoughts. I already know he is calling because it's

my birthday but I don't know what the congrat is for.

"The news is over the internet", he shouts in excitement.

"What news?" I am curious.

"You don't know?"

"No", I answer sharply in anticipation. I am hoping it is not bad news but a good one.

"Your automobile idea has been accepted in America and you are now recognized all over America",

he informs me and I almost gasp.

How come I am just getting to know about this from Richard of all people and not from my Secretary or This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

Personal Assistant. Didn't Chloe or my P.A get any congratulatory messages?

This is good news, in addition to the Japanese deal we signed and concluded today. It is great news

and I almost jump up in excitement. This birthday is the best so far and I can't wait to tell mom about it.

I am so excited.

"Thanks, man. I got to go." I beam to myself proudly.

"Congrats once again, I'm proud of you."

"Don't be, you should become serious too", I scold him.

"You are too serious...."

"Shut up and get off my phone already", I utter loudly.

I wonder when Richard will become serious with his business. He keeps facing serious setbacks in the

company because of his unseriousness and I have tried to talk to him all to no avail. I am making a

mental note to talk to Pamela, his girlfriend about it. I just hope he won't be mad at me for reporting him

to her and I also hope he gets to change.

"Whatever, bye!" He disconnects the call before I can say anything else.

Sometimes, I feel bad for the way I treat him and other people, of which Anna is one. Richard is quite

understanding but Anna isn't. She doesn't know me well enough even after a year of our marriage.

We keep arguing about one thing or the other and I always feel guilty at the end of the day about how

harsh I talk to her. She usually takes it the wrong way and we end up insulting each other. Aside from

that, she has been a good mother to our child, Lily. Lily has sharp piercing blue eyes just like mine and

I love looking at her. She is adorable.

I inhale deeply and stand up to go to my room. I suddenly notice how quiet everywhere is. I know Lily

will already be asleep but I wonder where Anna and the maids are. It is just past 9 but most times,

when I come back late, they will still be awake, doing one thing or the other.

The relationship between Anna and I is still conservational but she sometimes waits up for me

whenever I work out late. I appreciate her for that but I stopped her from doing that already.

I suddenly smile, remembering the congratulations from Richard and the trouble I went through just to

achieve that. I feel I need to appreciate my innovative team for a job well done. I need to increase their

salary so they can be motivated to work more for me.

As for the Japanese deal, Chloe and I will handle it. I smile broadly as I find my way to my bedroom. I

am gradually achieving all I have planned for and my heart glows with joy when it dawns on me that I

am doing all of this without my father's help. I am doing this all alone. I am doing this without consulting

my father for any reason and I am doing this in a great way. I am New York's youngest billionaire and I

am hoping to be that of America soon.

I know my mother will be proud of me.

I swing the door open with an unknown strength in me and I realize the room is in pitch darkness. I

furrow my brow in confusion, wondering who entered my room in my absence. I don't like it when my

privacy is invaded and I begin to feel Anna is responsible.

"I am going to warn her tomorrow morning before heading to work never to do this next time", I say to

myself and find my hand on the light button.

I flick the light on and my eyes widen with the surprise in front of me. They all scream in excitement and

rush forward to hug me. My mother, Anna is with Lily in her arms, the maids, Evelyn, Pamela, and

Richard.

"Happy birthday!", they shriek in excitement.

The smile on my face that faded when I entered my dark room, begin to spread all over my face again.

I begin to feel genuine happiness and a sense of fulfillment that I haven't felt in years.
