Billionaire’s Most Wanted Bride

~EVA’S POV~

I woke up to notice that it was still five minutes before my alarm goes off. I groaned sitting on my bed and pulling my hair for some minutes. “This is not happening” recalling the details from yesterday. Did I really agree to marry him just like that? I was sure I didn’t sleep last night.

I got out of bed before going to the kitchen in bare feet to find only Sarah there.

“Good morning Sarah” I greeted her but only got a nod from her side. She was getting things ready for breakfast. The other cooks were not there with her. I wanted to help her out but I was too tired

“Don’t worry everything will be alright… you have me ok?” she said. I walked to hug her back. She giggled. I went back to my room to get ready for work

Coincidentally, I poked my nose out of my window to receive the early morning freshness and sun. I noticed more cars packed outside the house. _please don’t let it be what I’m thinking… _

_Yes! I have to talk to chairman Huxley, I will tell him how sudden all this sounds. It is his mistake that he misunderstood everything_

Getting to chairman Huxley’s study room, to only find him in a discussion with Mr. Alexandros pissed me off.

“Good morning father ” I greeted them and took a seat beside my father.

“Good morning daughter ” they both chorused and broke into fresh laughter. I smiled shyly and in pretense.

“I want to talk to you dad” they both stared at me looking confused I should signify the particular dad I want to talk to? This is becoming more annoying than I thought.

“I want to talk to you, chairman Huxley” I stated softly and firmly.

“Okay, let me just round up with Mr. Alexandros” I nodded and stood up to leave.

“It’s alright you can stay, after all, we are talking about you ” I dug my buttocks back to the sit and stared at Mr. Alexandros who chuckled in return.

“Can we do it tomorrow? You see..” Mr. Alexandros said I guess he is continuing from where he stopped. He cleared his throat before starting “… you see my son doesn’t get much time. He is such a workaholic that he even doesn’t have time for himself. But tomorrow is Sunday which means he will be free from work. And that’s why I’m suggesting we do it tomorrow.

_First I didn’t talk to my father when my blood was boiling in anger and that got my confidence to the baseline.

Second… What does he mean by his son is always busy? I will have to be rushed just to meet his son’s busy schedules? _

” That would be great. Eva, sorry I couldn’t inform you, I knew you would be available anytime ” Chairman Huxley smirked

” We are having a party soon. if it’s possible, I will like you two to exchange rings” I stared at him shocked and my throat felt itchy.

“You… Y… ou could have told me, dad! , I mean… You could have told me, chairman Huxley!” I don’t know why my voice was so low but it got me a very solemn face from chairman Huxley. It was as if I was hypnotized at the moment and couldn’t move. At that very specific moment, I knew I have gotten myself into some real shit.

I heard a footstep approaching us and I look up to know who it was. A woman dressed in a cooperate black suit stopped in front of us.

“Lucy this is my daughter, Eva,” my dad said immediately she greeted them. “You should go with her Eva” My feet were so wobbly when I stood up and followed her out of the room.This content belongs to Nô/velDra/ma.Org .

“Hello, Eva! Nice to meet you. I’m your assistant and will be helping you with your engagement and wedding plans. I am really sorry we don’t have time to know each other more but if you ever feel uncomfortable, with me, let me know. ” her cheeks were stretched with a smile. She extend her hands and I shook them with a fake grin.

” Give me a minute I want to freshen up”

“Alright ma’m ” she nodded and sat on one of the couches. I went to the bathroom and locked the door behind me a few drop of tears slipped from my eyes.

_I.. a.. am only a human and.. and all of those hectic duties and commands I followed were only because he is my father. How difficult it is for him to understand this. _

” Eva! can you hurry up a little? We really don’t have time ” I heard lucy’s voice. I rushed my bath and came out to meet her.

I followed Lucy to one of the rooms in the east wing of the penthouse. I will be lying if I admit that I have entered all the rooms in my dad’s penthouse.

I have never been to that room before. The people there seem to be assisting Lucy.

“Will you like your hair to be strengthened or…” Lucy asked with concern. But I ignored her. It’s not like I am getting married to my first love or someone I fell in love with. Why should I be excited or decorate myself a lot? I took a seat and chuckled as my pretty face reflected in the mirror.

“Trust me,” she said and gelled my hair in a side braid. She further decorated it with hair pins. I loved it.

The red long dress seems too beautiful on my light tan skin. Of course, it was going to attract lots of attention. I liked the perfume. The fresh smell kept my spirit cheering. She applied some light makeup on my face

” I see you like it” Lucy smiled back. I didn’t notice that I have been smiling at my reflection in the mirror.

“What if I don’t? ” I was sarcastic this time. She looked calmly at me and smiled. _then she will re-do it. That’s what they paid her for_

” Then this is how you will appear tomorrow” she ignored my nasty comments.
