A YEAR WITH THE BILLIONAIRE CHAPTER 10
Jayden's POVI stride out of the elevator the moment the door dings open, with my new Personal Assistant right behind me.Her name is Anna and she was recommended by my mother after I told her that my wife-to-be is Isabella and she would no longer be working for me again.I don't know what my mother thinks of the idea of getting married to Isabella, my Personal Assistant but I have the belief that my plan will work.I am doing this because of her after all and after a year just like the contract stated, Isabella and I will go our separate ways and that way, my mother will let me be and stop pestering me to get married again, and have kids.I have a feeling my mother recommended Anna for a reason and I am sure she is one of her friend's daughters. Anna doesn't look at all like someone who is in dire need of a job. She comes to work with a portable car and she dresses glamorous which makes me wonder why she is here in the first place.My instinct is telling me that my mother purposely

Isabella's POVGrandma's hovering eyes are all over me, monitoring my every movement. She hasn't asked me a single thing since yesterday when Jayden came to tell her of his intentions to marry me in two weeks.I know she was shocked beyond words but her silence is killing me.As much as I don't want much interrogation, I want to know what she thinks and if she will support me.I can never tell her that this marriage is just for a year and there is a contract involved. She won't understand my reasons and she will be mad at me. How can I possibly tell her that I will be married for just a year, not because I love this man but because I need money from him? How can I tell her that I will be divorced after a year and then I can begin to start my life afresh?She would never understand that I am doing this for her and this is the sacrifice I am making for her to live again and be able to use her legs.She would never understand.She has always been dreaming of that day when I would come h

Jayden's POVStill fuming in anger, I throw the office door open to enter when I see someone inside sitting comfortably on the chair opposite my desk.Without a word, I stride in. When I close the door behind me, I know instantly that it is no other person than Gabriel."How the hell did you get in here?!" I growl at him as I walk to my chair.He chuckles lightly, leaning over and dropping the phone he was pressing. "You weren't picking your calls."I really don't want anyone else to piss me off today. First, it was Anna, then Juliet and Isabella, and now Gabriel.How will I pick up his call when he humiliated me in front of that bitch? He didn't stand up for me but he laughed just like his wife did, making me feel stupid.Gabriel is so childish!"I said how did you get in here?" I question again, glaring coldly at him."Well, Anna let me in", he leans backward, the smile off his face.He knows that I am angry with him. This is why he is here. I refused to pick up his calls when he ke

Isabella's POV Music blasts from the in-house where Juliet works part-time and I stroll in, shrugging off my tote bag and glancing around for her in the bar. There is a low-class club attached to the back of the bar and Juliet works inside mostly. She is charged with the duty of offering drinks to the clients inside the clubhouse. Not finding her in here, I know she must be inside the clubhouse, probably trying to persuade one of the men for a tip. My emotions are all over the place and I am trying so hard to calm myself down and search for a reasonable excuse for her actions. There is no excuse for what she did. No excuse for not informing me beforehand. I didn't tell her about my decision to become Jayden's wife over the phone because I wanted us to meet in person before telling her. She convinced me to give it a try and I wanted to see the proud smile on her face after revealing my decision to give it a try to her. To give being a billionaire's wife a try. For just a year.

Jayden's POVThe car stops in the driveway and I open the door myself to come out of the car before Fred could get the door.Today's work was hectic and I wouldn't be here if my mother hadn't invited me to dinner. She is persistent and would do anything to get what she wants.I know she wants us to talk about the wedding preparations. Coupled with the fact that I have been meaning to come to see her, I decided to come over today instead of tomorrow.I could remember the look of shock on her face when I announced to her that I was getting married to no one but my Assistant. I don't think she knows Isabella but the thought of being married to my employee was a huge killjoy for her.Today, I will know what she thinks of the match and I will convince her to let me do what I want.If I don't do this, if I don't marry Isabella, I won't be able to prove to her that marriage isn't meant for everyone. Getting married to her choice of woman will make everything hard and I am not in for any lif

Isabella's POVThe moment Grandma turns off the Television set to cut me short the movie program I am engrossed in while chewing on the homemade popcorn I prepared this morning, I know it is high time we spoke."Bella", she calls, dropping the remote control on the small stool beside her and turning to me.I chew on the remaining popcorn in my mouth and drop the bowl before facing her with a guilty look."I want you to tell me what is happening and why you are getting married", she goes straight to the point without beating about the bush.Feigning confusion with my forehead furrowed, I shake my head. "Why am I getting married? I thought we have talked about this already?""Yes, we did but I am still not fully convinced with all you told me", she declares openly, watching me intently for something to hold on to. Probably a flash of guilt. Or breaking down in tears and confessing my sins to her.But what will any of this do? What good will it bring? Nothing. Absolute nothing. Instead,

Jayden's POVGabriel was right. Anna is someone I know.I glance once more at the screen before shutting the laptop down. I didn't take his words seriously because I thought it was just gibberish to l have me listen to him. When my mother mentioned to my hearing last night about Anna being my father's friend, I knew I had to find out who she was.That was when I remembered Gabriel's question of how it was possible for me not to know who she was.Anna is Roger and Emily's only daughter. Roger is my father's close friend and I see no reason why they would allow their daughter to come work with me as an Assistant.No wonder she has a Porsche car. If this isn't about matchmaking us both, then what is the best explanation for this?What infuriates me the most about this issue is the fact that she is allowing them to push her toward me. She is allowing them to do what they like at her expense. She is at the receiving end of whatever happens.But I won't succumb to my mother's wish. I can

Isabella's POVStepping inside the church and walking slowly towards the altar without a best lady but my arms entangled with my Grandma's, the groom of the day is patiently standing on the wedding arbor for the bride.I am holding flowers with a transparent veil covering my face. My head is lowered in shame and guilt.Shame that this isn't my dream. The shame of doing this and not being courageous enough to back out at the last minute to tell Grandma what this is all about, and wait for the man for me. The man who would be waiting at the altar for me with anticipation of me becoming his bride. A man who would love me for the depth of his heart and would never do anything to make me sad or cry.Guilt for letting Grandma do this. Guilt for not telling her the truth. Guilt for lying to her all through till this day. Juliet never came. She didn't show up for the preparations. She didn't call to apologize for what she did, leaving me with no one to stand in for me as my maid of honorI
