Brianna's POV.

I walked along the very muddy street, I tiptoed because it was really muddy. I wonder why this particular place always had problems, even after it was fixed, I didn't want my shoe getting soiled.

Just then this very fancy black car drove past me splashing me with the disgusting muddy water.

Immediately the driver noticed he stopped but after some seconds he drove off.

Like wtf. He splashed me with this muddy water and he couldn't apologize.

I became so angry.

Cleaning my eyes properly, I picked a rock that stood at the side of the road and threw it at the car. Which cost the windshield to get dented.

I gasped in fear and ran away.

I fuçking ran for my life when I hit the car.

My life is going to be over if the owner gets me because the car looks expensive and I cannot pay for it.

I turned and noticed that no one was following me, maybe they knew they were at the wrong and didn’t want to apologize for it, well a dented windshield would teach them never to mess with the wrong person.

Since I was dirty, I had to go back to the house to get changed and it took a longer time.

Diego's POV

I'll surely get her for destroying my car, that's a promise.

My car arrived at grandma's huge estate. I immediately got down from the car.

"Sir what should we do about the car?"My manager asked as I looked at my brand new car worth millions that just got damaged.

"Just pack it. I'll tell you what to do"

When I got into the mansion, it had this welcoming atmosphere.

The entire environment was at peace giving me this homely feeling. I smiled as I walked in and was graced with the smell of my favorite food.

"Diego!"Grandma called in her very Italic accent.

"Grandma. How have you been all this while?"I asked pulling her into a very warm hug.

Her hug was warm and I felt so at peace in her hand. It felt like I was wrapped in a thick sheet that covered me from all danger.

"I have been very good and I still am."she rolled as her cheek turned red.

It was obvious that she missed me and was happy to see me.

Even if grandma is old she's still very pretty. Her always big smile had made her face wrinkle but I still love her.

"How are you son?"

"Imyfine,"I answered, withdrawing from the hug.

Grandma stretched her head out. She turned like she was in search of something.

"Where is she?" She asked.

"Who are you looking for?"

"Your, Your girlfriend."she stuttered, shaking her head.

No no no this old woman. No, she didn't call me here to ask about my girlfriend.

Grandma has been bugging me to get married since the past few years now but fuck, I ain't ready and I don't think I do marriages, I only fuçk the hell out of girls.

"Grandma, there's no girlfriend. Just me" I answered and she let go of my hand instantly.

"You promised me you'd bring her home last year"she yelled at me..

"Granny. I just haven't seen the right lady"I tried touching her shoulders but she moved.

"Granny, I am extremely tired after I get some rest we can talk about this okay"

"Yasmin!"Grandma called.

"Yes granny!"her tiny voice answered from the far away kitchen.

"Yasmin!"I called in shock as she walked towards us.

Yasmin has turned into a fine young lady. She was just a teenager when I left for italy.

"Diego!"she called in surprise.

"Oh my goodness Diego. When did you arrive?"she asked, pulling me into a brief hug.

"Yasmin don't talk to him."Grandma yells, making us pull away in shock.

"Granny what happened?" She asked.

"Take me to my room Yasmin. I don't want to talk to him"

I sighed giving grandma an eye roll which she returned with a scornful glare.

Yasmin is my cousin, she's been staying with grandma since she was about seven or so. But now she looks so matured. I wonder how old she is now.

"Adele!"Yasmin called. Immediately a maid came running.

"Take cousin's things to his room"

"Yes Miss"

"I'm starving Yasmin. I wanna have breakfast"

"Adele. You heard him, serve him. I'll be back soon"

I watched Yasmin take grandma to her room. Grandma kept looking at me like I've sinned or something.

"Adele, don't give him food. There's no food for the wicked." She rasped realising a grunt before moving towards the stairs with Yasmin following suit.

Yasmin's POV

I had already prepaid dinner for the family. Since my cousin was here, dinner had to be extra special.

We sat on our very big dinner table eating in silence.

"Umh cousin since your here they'll be no need to talk over the phone"

"Yeah!"

"Well I'll be getting married in two months' time"I smiled. The fact I'll be marrying theam of my dreams still give me shock.

"Married? Wait, you're getting married, how old are you?"he asked in disbelief.

I chuckled, realising a smile. "I’m twenty three"

"I thought you were nineteen"

"Common Cousin am twenty three"

I turned and noticed the way Granny glared at Diego. If looks could kill, he would have been dead by now.

"Yasmin, I have a beautiful gift for you." Grandma spoke, realising a smile.

She dropped her fork then sent a very hard glare to Diego.

"I'll be handing over the De Lucas property to you." I was shocked.

"What are you saying granny? De Lucas belongs to me"Diego frowned.

"Granny, you don't need to do that. My fiance are financially stable. Even if we don't work for years, we'll still have enough"

"Shut up girl !"She fired.

"Granny, I own De Lucas, you can't just give it to Yasmin"

"And even if you do give it to me Granny, I won't take it".

"Then I'll give it to the government. Cause it's the same thing that'll happen in a few years time if I give it to Diego, since he doesn't want to have a family to pass it on to, it will go to the government when he dies, so why not quicken the process. Let's give it now"

"Granny stop pulling my legs"Diego sighed out facing his food.

"I’m not pulling your legs Diego. My lawyer will be here tomorrow"She said, dropping her fork on the table.

"Diego what did you do to her, I have never seen her this angry. Please know it's not good for her health"I explained taking a stand from my chair, immediately following granny.

    Diego's POV.The next morning, I stood on my balcony as I scrutinized the massive yard. The morning breeze did wonders on my very soft skin.Well I am on Vacation and I don't need to work or stress.Just then my eyes met with my car. Gosh! It looked a mess, that lady will most definitely pay dearly for doing this to my car. I mean we didn't splash the water on her purposely.I pounded on what to do to her and what to do to my granny, before taking my phone to my ear."Get me that lady"I ordered.She's fuçking going to hate her life once I am done with her.She'll pay me back..I am still borderd about my grandma.

    Brianna's POV."Yes I am. Is there any problem?" I tried to sound very strong but I wasn't. My spirit had long left my body."Hmm fearless!" He cracked, turning to face me."Why did you call me here?" I asked, staring hard at him.I looked at his very dark eyes that pronounced nothing but coldness."You have a pending dept missy and I'd love for you to pay up now""What the fuck are you talking about?" I almost yelled. "Nah. Don't raise your voice" he whispered walking closer to me.His presence was so intimidating but I stood my ground.He picked up a picture as he walked towards me and threw it on my body."I bet you'll understand now." The moment he said this I took the picture up to my face and almost screamed. It was the picture of the car I broke."You." I gasped."Yes me and I want my car fixed today""But you splashed the muddy water on me and you didn't apologize" I rasped and he chuckled."Yeah. I did but I don't see any damages, your skin still looks flawless and bright b

    Brianna's POVWhen I got back home I decided to just forget about work and maybe use this time to pack my things.I would have called mom or dad but we aren't in talking terms.This is going to be a very long year.I packed my clothes into my suitcase, and I picked up other things I felt were very important to me.The rest belong to the hotel.The hotel had called me several times to ask were I was but. I wasn't ready to explain. Maybe tomorrow I'll send my resignation.I was already starving, there was nothing to eat at home. I was surviving on the food I ate in the hotel.*******The next day.

I put the key inside my purse and continued moving .I didn't have any cash but I had a plan.I flagged a cab down, put my things at the back seat and went for the passenger seat.I directed the man to the house where I was supposed to get married.

    Brianna's POV.I coughed so hard and all he could do was stare.I was eating so fast that I swallowed through the wrong hole.I stood up immediately when I felt the food getting to my brain. It was so hot and peppery."Next time eat slowly"he muttered, handing me a cup of water which I took.I gulped the water down as I felt a little relieved.I closed my eyes for some seconds then turned to him."Your so mean. You know I could have died there. You waited until I was almost dead before handing me the water" I pronounced and he realised a scoff.I sat down back and faced my food as I gave him several eye rolls.Later that day.I climbed down the beautiful stairs as I walked to the dinning.Granny had made preparations for a welcome dinner. I followed the smell of food to the big hall.Since it was a welcome dinner , I had to put on something nice. I was wearing a white gown and a fancy shoe."Oh you're here. Please take a sit" granny instructed as she smiled at me."Let's eat." Yasmin

    Diego's POV.The weather was becoming very cold and the Air conditioner wasn't helping matters, the entire room was cold.I woke up and pulled the duvet on my body. Just as I turned to sleep, I saw Brianna sleeping on the couch.Switching on the lights, I climbed out the bed and walked to her.There she was coiled up, her face had traces of tears on them.My eyes got a glimpse of her arm.It turned red. Did I do this to her?Wait, she wasn't acting at all.I touched her bare skin and noticed how cold she was.This girl, she's very annoying. I've only been with her for hours and she had disturbed the hell out of my life.I picked her up from the couch and let her enjoy the softness of my bed.Just as I laid her down she winched and opened her eyes a little bit before going back to sleep.Am not a wicked person but what she did was really bad.Pulling the duvet over her, I moved to the other side of the bed and lay down ready to sleep.Granny wants us to have a child first else she'll n

    Diego's POV."Brianna" I called while walking around the house.I don't even know where she is.I walked out of the house to the pool side. I can't believe this place has changed so much."Brianna!" I called, realising a sigh. There she was sitting on the bare ground, the wind was blowing awfully,it was about to rain."Anna."I called, tapping her."Don't you dare call me that and stop touching me please""Let's go in, it's about to rain""I'd rather stay here and get drenched to stupor than go back to that room with a non-apologetic man like you""And you think, I care. No I fucking don't care, you can die if you want to but remember you signed a contract to be my wife and wives are always submissive""I hate your way of thinking. Because am a lady, I should always do as you say. I should always forsake myself and follow all your order. And remember this is fake so you can't tell me what to do and what not to do.""Anna.

    Brianna's POV.Later that day. I stayed locked up in the room because of my wounds. Diego had gone to wherever he said he went while I ate all through the time he wasn't at home.I fuçking need to play some pranks on Diego. He's becoming too close to me and I don't like it.Undoubtedly Diego. My fake husband. Is handsome. He has intimidating looks but I guess he's nice.I sat on the bed with a packet of chips in my hands as I watched a very funny show.Just then the door cracked open and Yasmin walked in followed by granny. I almost peed on my panties the moment I saw her face. This old woman looks so cute just like her grandson but she also has that icy look, I feel it runs in the blood.I made my way to climb down the bed when she hailed me to stop."What are you doing dearest? There's no need to stand, please sit down" she motioned me with a sweet smile on her cute old face."How are you?

Diego still had some work he needed to do complete so he rushed breakfast and left for work as soon as possible My mind hasn't been at peace since I woke up from sleep. I keep thinking of a way to avoid Diego and cause him so many troubles but it seems like my plans will always backfire.Am just so confused at the moment. What am I really doing in this house? Would I really give Diego an heir? Even if it's what I'm being paid for I just can't. I can't let him have me in a matter of three day.I'll have to think of a way out of this.Just then my door cracked open and Yasmin walked in."Hi Anna. I'll be going to the hospital now but Diego has asked me to check on you before leaving. So tell me how you feel?"I realised a smile "My leg doesn't hurt like before and I don't have any ache on my head it's just my arm that hurts" I smiled at her."Okay. That's good , remember to take your medicine on time""I will"~~~~~Two days later.

Valerie explained to her, in a very expensive Italian accent."Sure " I watched keenly. I couldn't take my eyes from the small bump on Anna's tummy.Come to think of it, Anna doesn't act like a pregnant woman, she's always so energetic and has lots of appetite. She's always in a perfect mood, she wasn't even having issues sleeping or some other things pregnant woman go through in their first trimester Recently I've been reading articles on how to satisfy a pregnant woman, and I want to keep Anna happy throughout her pregnancy, I don't want her to have any complications.I watched Valerie run some gel on Anna's tummy as she kept asking her if she was fine.

    Brianna's POV.Are you out of your god damn mind? What is wrong with you? He was pissed at me.“Why would you say that?“ He asked holding me.“Well because Tara is the woman you love. I'm just your contract bride…” I was still speaking when he crashed his lips on mine. He kissed my lips for some seconds tugging on it and slightly bitting me.“All this shouldn't matter to you Anna. It's you I'm married to right now and not Tara” he brushes his lip against my lower lip.“Even if it happens that Romeo is my son, I would still love the child we birth, nothing is going to change.“It was soothing, but for some reason, this wasn't what I wanted to hear from him.He saw the look on my face and I'm sure he noticed I wasn't alright, I wasn't a bit satisfied with his answer.I still wasn't okay and my face folded in worry and sadness."Anna, you don't have to feel this way, you are the one carrying my baby and it is not Tara, it is you with me right now and you are the one I will choose agai

He held my hand as we walked in and I, he had been saying he doesn't want me to leave and that he was so scared he thought he lost me. It's only making me want to remind him that I'll still leave after our contract is over.We both walked in having little discussions and smiling, acting like we didn't have a huge problem to solve.We got into the living room andi felt like bouncing on the chairs. Just then did we notice Tara seated with a little boy in her laps.We knew she was here because, the guard had called to ask if we should let her in and I made sure Diego gave a go ahead to let her in"Let's get to the bottom of this Diego. My son needs to know who his father is ".The boy was very small and looked really cute, his eyes were really black and he looked so much like Tara, you could tell by only by looking that she

    We gently pulled out of the hug. I noticed people were starring at us and I couldn't help but stare at her lips. I took my head down and placed my lips on hers, grabbed her waist firmly and she kissed me back. She tugged on my lips and I slowly sucked her lips, it was the must passionate kiss we've shared. Pulling out she laughed. "You have a lot of explanation to do, so let's go to my room" she said and began pulling me towards the direction. ~~~~~~~ "I know it's a pretty personal matter but do you mind sharing?" She asked d and I licked my lower lips. It's pretty personal but if she's going to be mine, she has to know sooner or later. "I really do not like talking about it because it only reminds me of the pain my little girl faced and reminds me that I wasn't a good father and will never be. "I don't think you are. I see the way you take care of me right now that I'm with a child" she said and I noticed the little bump on her stomach. "Tara and I go way back, we were best fr

    Diego's POVThe next morning came really slow, I practically called out Anna's name throughout the night and wished she was fine.I came out of the bathroom with a towel hanging on my waist, the room was super cold and lonely. I fear I've gotten so used to Anna being around that I do not want her to leave again, and I don't want to be alone.My phone rang out loud and I rushed almost stumbling to pick it because who knows it may be Anna.I looked at the name and it wasn't Anna. I frowned slowly, taking the phone to my ear."Speak fast.""Sir, I was able to locate her at the early hours of the morning." He stated and I smiled."Send me the address now." I stated. In one go I took the phone of my ear and began dressing hastily.Quietly wore my pants and a white V neck shirt. I combed my hair with my hand and took my car key from the table.Climbing down the stairs, my eyes met with Hilda as she arranged the dinning."Please make breakfast for Anna, I'm going to get her" The Joy in my he

    Diego's POV I ruffled my hair, and shot my eyes tight the moment he uttered those words to me. I tried to be calm but it wasn't working. I hit the steering wheel so hard that my hand began hurting. How would I find someone that doesn't want me to find her? She's good at this. I guess she's used to running away because she left no trace of how I could find her. Even my cards, she didn't use my cards, she didn't use her phone, it's switched off. Why would Anna do this? The truth was clear, I was in more pain than I've ever been. The thought of losing her was making my head go haywire. I think she wanted to be on her own and would be back soon. I hope so because if she doesn't come back tomorrow, I'll call the cops and apply for a missing person. I rolled my eyes and tighten my fist on the wheel, I reversed, heading back home. When I got home, I packed my car and walked back in. Just then Hilda came out to meet me. "Have you seen her?" Her eyes showed so much concern. I sho

    Brianna's POV I left the house before he would return so he would have time alone to speak to Tara, because they both needed it. If they really want Amelia to rest peacefully, the blame on each other should be lifted up. I also wanted to tell Serena about where I was going to but I was scared she would end up telling Diego about it and he would find me so easily. We all needed time I wouldn't blame Diego for hiding things from me, he has all right, it's his secret and has nothing to do with me. Guess I was super nosy. I haven't talked about my Family with him, I barely talk about myself because I'm keeping it a secret and he also did. I stared at the mirror in front of me, I looked really stressed and I was worn out, driving round the city was a very big stress. When I left Tara, giving her an excuse, I took a cab down to a hotel I had seen while I was going to get Tara. The hotel looks nice and isn't that expensive. I paid with my own money and not with the card Diego had give
