My Secret Billionaire Chapter 50: Contentment
The music was playing as Anna and her father started walking out of the room. She knew that Kelly and Rick, arm-in-arm as maid of honor and best man, had already walked almost all the way to the front of the church, and that her cousin's little children, the flower girl and ring bearer, were headed down the aisle now, the little girl dropping rose petals from her basket as she walked slowly forward.Anna rounded the corner, and the wedding march began to play, and all her friends and family, and Ethan's friends and his family, stood to watch her take slow and careful steps over the carpet of petals.She saw the smiles on their faces as she passed, but mostly she was looking straight ahead at Ethan, smiling at her from the altar, the pastor just behind him.Ethan was more handsome than she'd ever seen him, although she didn't know how that was possible. Perhaps it was the glow that radiated from true happiness. He wore a dark grey tuxedo, perfectly tailored. The fine material laid again
My Secret Billionaire Chapter 1: A Quiet Life
"That's beautiful, Carrie."Anna Shelby beamed as her student presented her latest artwork assignment. It was only Anna's second year of teaching after graduating from college not long ago, and she loved all the students in her sixth-grade class.Anna turned 26 last month, and since then she had felt like time was getting away from her. She spent hours dreaming about the future she wished she could have, married to a handsome and caring man who adored her, with two children of her own. She wanted a boy and a girl, which she imagined to be the perfect family. Her children would rush ahead into the shelter they ran for homeless animals, excited to pet the new litter of kittens that had just arrived."Do you think it will look good on display in the community center?"The eager student's voice snapped Anna out of her brief daydream. "Yes, Carrie, I think it will look beautiful on our spring art display."Anna taught her class at the only school in a small Midwestern town called Belleville
My Secret Billionaire Chapter 2: The Handsome Stranger
The next day was Thursday, the day before her class was to present artwork at the school's art display. That morning, Anna decided to leave her daydreams at home and focus on the children, who had worked hard to express their creative ideas. She didn't have children of her own yet, but she could certainly make life enjoyable for the kids in her class, who she loved as if they were her own.For the most part, she was able to keep her promise to herself, since the day was too hectic to stop and daydream about husbands and children and kittens and animal shelters that didn't exist in her life yet. One of the other teachers had called in sick, and, as will happen in a small town, there weren't any substitute teachers available to fill in. That meant that Anna, Kelly, and the other teachers would all pitch in to help the sick teacher's students get their artwork finished on time. They were all happy to help, and by the end of the day, everyone was ready to head home, including Anna.This ti
My Secret Billionaire Chapter 3: Festival Day
The days passed and the school's art display had gone well. Anna was thrilled at the way her students excitedly presented their work, and a couple of them even won prizes at the event.The town's attention turned to the annual festival that would be held over the next weekend in the town's park. Trucks began arriving all week carrying what would soon be concession booths and small rides for the kids, and tables were set up next to equipment that would soon be used to cook food.Ever since that day at the hardware store, Anna had thought about Ethan Greenfield. She could barely get her gardening done as she handled the flowerpots and other equipment she'd bought that day, remembering most the way he looked at her with those bright, blue eyes.With a light workload, Anna's mind had time to wander. She often daydreamed, working out real problems with an imaginary life in her head that made reality easier to manage. She had done it often when she lived with her ex-boyfriend, Alan, who ofte
My Secret Billionaire Chapter 4: Mixed Emotions
The weekend had been exhausting for Anna, who normally found the festival to be a much-needed time to relax. Instead, this year she'd been constantly nervous, looking around for Ethan and dodging all the teasing comments from friends. Kelly had backed off as the weekend went on, hoping that whatever was going on with that new, handsome man in town would be a good thing for her best friend.Anna had run into Ethan more than once, and it almost seemed like he was looking for her as much as she was looking for him.'That was all just my imagination,' she thought. 'Of course he would be at a major festival in a new town. He's just trying to meet people.'The excitement of the weekend hadn't calmed down for the students in her classroom, so Anna was too busy all day to do much daydreaming, and she was grateful. She managed to get her class back into learning mode for the rest of the day, then she spent all afternoon planning out lessons for the rest of the week."What a day!" Kelly said as
My Secret Billionaire Chapter 5: The Best Advice
"Finally, we get a fun evening together," said Kelly as Anna walked into Kelly and John's small and tastefully decorated home.Anna and Kelly had been inseparable friends since childhood, going to the same school together and both now teaching at that same school, but for the past few years, Anna's complicated relationship had given Anna and Kelly less leisure time together.Anna's marriage to Alan Shangle had been a difficult time for their friendship as Alan made more and more demands on Anna's time. Kelly always suspected that Alan did that just to keep Anna isolated, away from the positive influence of Kelly's friendship. After the divorce, Anna and Kelly spent more time together, but as Kelly's relationship bloomed with John, Anna always wanted to be sure to leave space for that relationship to develop. She knew John and Kelly were the perfect match."I'm so happy," said Anna as she sat down in her friend's living room, "and I have so much to talk over with you.""Oh, that sounds
My Secret Billionaire Chapter 6: Date Night
"Hello?" Anna thought Ethan's voice sounded even more sexy and soothing over the phone."Hi, is this Ethan? This is Anna. Anna Shelby," Anna said, her voice a bit shaky."Well, hello there, Anna Shelby. I'm so glad you called," he answered."I got your roses. They were very beautiful, thank you.""Only half as beautiful as you, and it's my pleasure," said Ethan. Anna blushed, happy that the conversation wasn't in person. "Have you given any thought to my invitation?""Yes," Anna answered, "I'd love to join you for dinner.""Wonderful, where would you like to go?""Well, I know this nice Italian place in Chesterville called Tony's. Do you know where that is?" Anna asked."I can find it. It's pretty easy to find everything in the little towns around here. How about this Saturday? Can I pick you up around seven?"Anna felt a rush of fear. Was she really going on a date with this gorgeous stranger? She didn't really know anything about him. "I need to go to Chesterville Saturday anyway, so
My Secret Billionaire Chapter 7: The Second Date
Almost a week had passed, and Anna and Ethan had been talking on the phone almost every day. Anna was happy, but nervous at the same time because she was afraid her relationship with Ethan was just too good to be true.Kelly disagreed strongly, nearly squealing with delight when Anna had told her how the first date had gone."This is right for you, I know it. I feel it," Kelly had told Anna.It was Friday, and Anna had been excited all day about the second date. Ethan had chosen a restaurant in Bluewater, a larger city about an hour's drive away from Belleville.It was almost time for Ethan to pick her up, and Anna was putting some finishing touches on her makeup. Ethan had chosen a more formal restaurant in the city, so she had gone shopping with Kelly earlier in the week and bought a deep green dress that formed perfectly to her figure and matched the color of her emerald eyes. Green was always a perfect color for her, not only because of her eye color, but also because it accentuate
