The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride novel Chapter 67

Damien's POV

I flutter my eyes open when I feel the sudden seeping of sunlight into my room. The flash is directly on my face and I know someone is behind it. As soon as I adjust my eyes to the bright light, Paige drops a large file on my bed, almost slapping my face.

I glare at her as she stands with arms akimbo. I yawn loudly and sit upright, laying my head on the headboard. I wonder what is wrong now. Last week, we fought because of the girl I had sex with in the club.

We fight almost every week, she is either accusing me of being unfaithful or complaining that I am not giving her enough attention. She loves nagging and I have threatened her with a divorce when she does that again.

I married her for a reason, not because I really wanted a wife and now that I have achieved my aim, I don't even like her no matter how sexy she tries to look. I am tired of her and getting pleasure from some other woman is what I want.

"Why did you wake me up?" I question her with eyes closed and my head upward.

I didn't hear any response from her, so I open my eyes and tilt my head to the side where she is now standing with folded arms and a sad look on her face.

"Why did you wake me up this early, Paige?" I repeat.

"This early?" She opens her eyes wide and begins to laugh sarcastically. I turn to pick up my phone so I can see the time. It is 11 am.

"You've been in bed all morning. I am not surprised because I am sure you were awake all night, f***ing your whores", I can feel her anger.

I wonder how she always gets to know whenever I have sex with a lady. I brought a lady home last night but I was careful not to let her know. I came back last night from the club late and I was sure she was already in bed. After the hours of sex with the girl, she left before dawn and I went to sleep. Now I am sure she was spying on us or she has a spy among the maids.

I am really in no mood for her morning nagging. I have been in California ever since the award night. I needed space so I came back home but now I feel it is time to give Paige space again. I need to go back to New York to finish what I have started. Paige needs to learn her lessons and know that I married her for a reason.

I am about to warn her not to start with any nagging when my phone rings. It is Donovan.

Donovan doesn't call me for any business-related reason, he calls when it has to do with new information about my revenge or about the home in New York. I wonder what he has to say now. I am hoping it is going to be good news.

"Donovan."

"Boss, good day", he greets politely. I imagine him bowing down in greeting with his huge body.

"How are you doing?"

"I am doing good. I have news for you", he says.

"Really? What is it?" I am having a feeling it has to do with Aidan.

I hear Paige shift her weight on the ground, she isn't happy that I am not attending to her first. I have even forgotten she is here for a reason that I still don't know what it is. From the serious look on her face, I know it is important, maybe she wants money.

"Yes, boss. Anna had a baby two months ago", he informs him.

"What?" I exclaim. I am amazed at the time.

She doesn't like hearing anything bad about Aidan. They don't communicate anymore but I know she still feels something for him. I stand up to move to the bathroom, forgetting she is in my room for something.

"Damien", she calls.

"What?" I bark in annoyance.

I have no idea what Aidan has that I don't. I have no idea what they like in him and why girls flock to him. Seeing that affection and care on Paige's face is reminding me of how I have failed in ruining Aidan.

I feel he is the reason for almost everything happening in my life at the moment, including the fact that father and I might never reconcile. I hate him with passion and I want to see his downfall, I want him to experience a major setback in everything he cares about, his business and family.

I want to know why he isn't showing Anna and his child to the world. I want to know what he wants to hide by doing that. Then, I can strike from there. I will teach him never to cross paths with me in our next life. I also hope we will be enemies in our next life because I don't see myself becoming friendly with Aidan. I hate everything that concerns him.

"You didn't go through the file", she reminds me, tilting her chin up. I can see the fear in her eyes after I barked at her. I stare at the file, wondering what it is all about.

I take long strides towards the bed, willing to get done with whatever it is she wants so she can be out of my room and I can sit and think through the new plan I am already formulating in my head on how to strike Aidan hard and deep.

I pick the file up and fling it open. The first thing my eyes come across is the word LEGAL written in bold letters of the first chapter. I need no soothsayer to tell me what it is that Paige wants now.

"I want a divorce, Damien", she utters softly, more like a whisper and like an affirmation of what I am thinking.

What I am holding is a divorce paper that needs to be signed for Paige to be free from the cage I have her locked in. But I have no idea if I want this as much as she wants it.
