The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 36

Anna's POV

"I don't feel like going out, Pam", I complain, coming out of the bathroom in a towel.

"Come on", she moves over to me and nudges me. "It's going to be fun", she beams.

She pulls me back to the open closet and begins to search for a dress for me to wear. She sees a low maroon party dress and hauls it out.

"Here", she gives me. I sigh again before taking it from her.

When she called me earlier and heard me crying, she disconnected the call and before I knew it, the doorbell rang.

Pamela came in and hugged me tightly. I told her everything, she only consoled me without asking me any questions. Then she brings up the idea of going to a party. I said no but she insisted.

"Let's get you dressed so we can go have fun with our baby", she grins widely and drops the dress on the bed. I am about to move to the dressing mirror when I remember mom.

"Is mom still in your house?" I frown. I had tried calling her but her number wasn't going through.

"I didn't come from home", she informs me while leading me to the small stool in front of the mirror. I pick up my lotion and begin to rub it on my body.

"Where were you?" I ask her with curiosity.

"I was out."

"Out where?" I eye her.

"You talk too much. Get dressed, let's go", she rolls her eyes at me. I didn't say anything else. It is obvious she doesn't want to talk about where she went too and I won't budge her. I want to act like her for once.

She doesn't budge me to tell her things when I am not ready to and that is the exact thing I am going to do now.

I finish rubbing the lotion on my body and wear the dress. Pamela pulls out my drawer and brings out a silver stud earring. She wears it for me before applying a little makeup to my face. When we are done, she stands behind me with arms akimbo, watching me from the mirror in satisfaction.

I rise and turn to face her. "You are good to go." She smiles and turns back to the closet. She bends down to pick up a shoe for me to wear. She picks up the silver heels and stretches them to me. I take it without a word.

"Let's go", she grabs my hand after I pick my phone up from the dressing table before we move out. I lock the door and follow her to the car.

I sit beside her, wear my seatbelt and close my eyes as she drives away from the house. I am thinking of everything.

Even though I don't want to go to the party, I know having a night out with Pamela will calm my nerves. I intend to still fight with mom when she comes back home. I need to let her know how disappointed I am with her behavior.

"So, talk to me", Pamela begins. I open my eyes and see her stealing glances at me.

"What?" I don't know what she is talking about.

"Talk to me about everything", she repeats.

"Everything."

"I already told you", I know she is trying to probe me to say my mind.

"What did you tell him?"

I shrug. "I told him to get out, that I wasn't interested in anything...."

"You aren't interested in getting married to a billionaire?" She cuts me short.

My mouth hung open. "Are you supporting him and mother?"

"No, I just want to know what you think of the whole thing. Girls like you will want nothing more than that, you know?" She flashes me a smile.

"I can't believe you are saying this", I sit back in the chair and fold my arms.

"I believe this is an opportunity....."

I know we can't last long, when we separate, what will I tell my child? I don't want my child to be fatherless, just like I am.

"I'm sorry, Anna", she holds my hand firmly for a while before putting it back on the wheels. The car comes to a stop but Pamela and I are not making any attempt to go out.

"I supported your mother because of Cameron. I know you still have feelings for him and it is high time you get rid of it. You need to show him that he has no hold over you anymore now that he is coming back to New York." She remarks.

"What?" I exclaim. "Cameron is coming back to New York?"

"So I heard. His girlfriend dumped him and since she was the reason why he left in the first place, he is coming back."

I can't believe Cameron is coming back.

Why now? Why does it have to be now? I want to scream.

"You need to get back at him for hurting you. The best way to do that is to become the billionaire's bride. This will be the best revenge ever, I know he will want you back when he gets here but you shouldn't allow it, Anna. He is nothing but a fuckboy, a motherfucker."

I am thinking of what Pamela is saying. She is telling the truth. I need to make him pay for making me miserable, for bringing this upon me.

Should I just date Tony now to get back at him? I ask myself. I look away from Pamela and turn to face the corridor leading to the club.

Tony is still ignoring me and I can't stoop so low to ask him out myself. Besides, I still don't know what Tony thinks of my pregnancy.

I realize Cameron's breakup is the reason why all of this is happening to me. He was the reason why I had sex with Aidan in the first place and the result is this pregnancy.

Why can't I make him be the reason till the end?

It dawns on me that in just a day of trying to rewrite my story, something big that will change my life forever is about to happen and I know my life will not remain the same.

I know I am confused right now but one thing is sure, I am the writer of my life story, I am writing what I want but a day will come when I will no longer have control over my life story anymore.

This is indeed a new beginning but I have no idea whether it is going to be a good beginning or a sad one filled with nothing but sorrow.
