The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 10:
About ten minutes past seven, she arrived at the hospital. She didn't plan on staying long so she didn't worry about getting late to work. She was only here to pay her mother's bills. As long as she stayed in the hospital longer, her bills increased which made Aria constantly worried about paying the bills before but now that she had a well-paying job, the fear had reduced. She couldn't stop marvelling at the fact that she had gotten a job and the worry had become a thing of the past. She was indeed grateful that things were changing for the good.Aria walked over to the hospital's accountant, who sat at the side, close to the receptionist. "Hi, I want to make payment."The accountant regarded her with a friendly look and proceeded to flip through a hard-cover note in front of her. "For who?" She asked glancing up at Aria."My mother, Eleanor Spencer.""You're aware of her bills right?" "Yes.""kindly hold on, I need to go through the records." She scanned the book for a minute and t
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 11: concern and anger
Robert tapped his feet impatiently, waiting for Aria's call or message to pull through. It was already eight minutes past nine and he still hadn't heard a word from her. If she wasn't going to be available today, she should have at least put a call through, it was simple work ethics. Even at that, he yearned for her presence, he wanted to see her blush at something he had said and look away. He liked it when she was shy and refused to make it obvious. If it were another person he would have been angry and worried that they had disregarded work ethics but he was missing her, her perfume, her oval face, her dark luscious long hair.Just then his phone vibrated on his table, bringing him out of his thoughts. He squinted his eyes to see the sender of the message and its contents. It was from Aria, and it read: I'm sorry I won't be available at work today. The hospital called me, my mom in a critical condition and it completely threw me off balance.He was filled with concern for her, he
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 12: unexpected visit
Aria slouched the sofa tiredly. She had hardly been able to sleep since yesterday. Yesterday at the hospital when they had called her that her mother was in a critical condition, she drifted in and out of consciousness during her stay at the hospital. She was worried, she couldn't afford to let anything happen to her mom while she was sleeping. She owed it to her mum to watch over her while she was sleeping.So now this morning, she was tired; strength had drained out of her bones. She could faint if she attempted going to work. Worst, she was being to feel this cold inside of her that she couldn't explain. She folded herself on the sofa and covered herself with a duvet, shivering.Anna walked into the parlour, dreseed for her work with a jeans trouser and a t-shirt, slinging her bag over her shoulders. "Are you good though?" She said, pressing the back of her palm in the crook of her sister's neck.She withdrew her hand quickly. "Your body is hot and you're shivering." She confirmed,
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 13: unexpected visit II
Just then, someone who looked exactly like Aria walked in, taken aback when she had seen him. Where Aria had a pointed nose hers was button like and she was also slimmer and shorter than Aria. One could tell that she was younger. Her brows furrowed, almost intersecting with her pushed forward hairline. "I'm just surprised that my sister had a new friend and she didn't tell me about it."Aria glared at her sternly. She noticed and shut her mouth just before she was about to say something. Robert watched the two of them amusingly before he spoke, "well she might not have told you about me because I'm her employer.""Really?" Her sister asked, widening her eyes. "She must be so special then for you to have visited her at home.""My baby sister can be chatty and intrusive sometimes," Aria chipped in, waving an apologetic smile before mouthing some words, frowning her face.As if on cue, the slimmer girl was working towards the corridor. Robert knew if it were just him and Arria he'd fee
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 14: discussions
Robert's range rover pulled to a stop in front of the gigantic building in front of him. He got out of the car, taking in the flowers by the side and walked his way into the house. He was here to see his father that had called him abruptly to discuss something important with him in person. He hoped that he wouldn't get to see the other people who he now shared a surname with. He could only associate with Bryan, not the rest that irked the living daylight out of him.When he stepped into the parlour, it was chilly but it had little effect on him because of his thick clothes. He quickly spotted his father perched on the dining table, eyes fixed on his iPad. He ambled towards him at the dining area to make his presence known.Before his father raised his gaze, he was already aware of his presence. With his eyes still fixed on his iPad, he asked him to take his seat which Robert immediately obeyed. In silence, he took in his father's appearance. He was already in his mid-fifties but he lo
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 15: disappointment and debt
Harry ran his hands through his dreadlocks, cursing as he stepped on the used cigarette, crushing it under his feet. He adjusted his black hoodie and strolled down the cold streets with nowhere in his mind. He needed space to clear his head from the disappointment that had slapped him in the face. He had overheard his stepdad asking that dimwit of a stepbrother, Robert, to stand in for him in the digitizing construction conference. He couldn't explain how badly that piece of information had affected him. At first, when he heard it, his stomach sank, then an ache spread across his chest, leaving his head feeling heavier. A week ago, his mom told him that her husband was contemplating his decision to attend or not, and so it would be nice for him to prepare himself just in case he was chosen to represent him. He had done just that, and within a twinkle of an eye, the opportunity had slipped through his fingers and been given to someone who clearly hadn't been planning for it since a
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 16: confrontation
Just then, Robert rolled down the window of his car and peered at them. He looked at Get-High first as though trying to decipher if he'd seen him around before he looked over to Harry, scanning him from up to down. "And what the hell is going on here?" Robert asked, authority lacing his tone and demanding a quick answer. Get-High looked over to Harry, and Harry gave him a deadly look, silently warning him not to speak. "Nothing," Get-High said, faking a smile. "I and my bro are just chilling." He wrapped a hand around Harry's neck. Robert didn't believe any of the theatrics, but he decided to leave that unsaid. "If you'd please excuse me, I and you, bro, who happens to be my stepbrother, would like to have a conversation." "Okay." He walked away, putting his thumb and his last finger to his ears, signaling for Harry to call him later. "Harry, get into the car," Robert commanded. Harry looked at him darkly. "Why?" He arched his brows at him. "You would not question me for the s
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 17: the search
Harry sat on his bed, thinking about his conversation with Robert last night. The dimwit really threatened him, and he was beginning to think that maybe he really had something on him because he could have chosen to drive away, but he decided to stop. What was he up to, really? And he did mention to him that he was watching him. Obviously, Robert didn't like him that much, so he believed that he could go as far as watching him. He thought it was silly of him to be laidback and not watch Robert too; he had to be smart. He picked at a piece of paper and twirled a pen between his hands, thinking about the possible ways he could get dirt on Robert, but none were forthcoming."I'm watching you," Robert's voice boomed in his head, and he kicked his fist in the air, saying, 'Yes!'He had figured it out; he was going to pay someone to watch him. The problem now was to get someone who could do the job. But he didn't know who to tell. Or should he tell Get-High about it? He may not agree to do
