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. I mean the woman wants me to get married but am in no way ready for a relationship talk more of a marriage.
Just then this car pulled over in the compound and a man with a very fat tummy came out of it..
Why do I have a feeling this means danger
I watched the guards take the man into the mansion.
Could this man be the lawyer? Granny was only pulling my legs right?
I quickly put on my shirt and walked out of my room heading to the main room.
There Grandma was eating some biscuits, Yasmin was seated beside her but she was engaged in her phone.
"Mr Noel. Come have breakfast." She smiled at him.
"Oh no. Madam. I have other things to do so I would like us to go into business now" she nodded his head.
I watched them exchange pleasantries, smiles and laughter before she turned to me. She knew I was watching. I swallowed the lump that formed in my throat then gave her this questioning look which she returned with a smirk. Grandma ma! This old woman, she meant what she said over dinner.
"You see Me Noel. I have decided to give all my properties to the government. I want to help the poor, I'll be dying soon and there'll be no one to succeed me"she rolled her words out so dramatically.
"Madam, what are you saying? You have Yasmin and Diego to succeed you" The lawyer said and Yasmin gave a sigh.
"Nah ah. I really don't need such in my life. Just count me out" she said getting up from the sofa.
"Then Diego here can take it on".
"No. Diego isn' worthy of such responsibility, besides he isn't of my descendant." She said, making my jaw drop.
"What are you saying granny am your grandson?" I said walking to her.
"You're not. You can't be my grandchild" she spat out.
This is wickedness, what did I do to this woman? So I'll watch her give my property to the government.
"Madam. If this is what you want then I'll go to court and prepare the papers. I'll also inform the government committee once they give their approval I'll send the documents to you for your signatures then you'll hand it offer to the government officials"' he said.
"That would be wonderful. But when do I expect it?"
"In the next three days"
"That's great. Thanks for your help Mr Noel, I'll see you in the next three days" She said
Once the man was out of the house I turned to her.with anger boiling in me. " Granny, what is all this?"
"Never raise your voice at me Diego" she yelled.
"But Granny, you're giving my things out. I own all of this"
"Like I said Mr, you're not worthy of the responsibility. By responsibility I mean you don't have a family"
"Granny please stop this"
"I'll stop in three days, that's if you can get married in three days."
"So you mean if I get married in three days you'll give back my inheritance?" I questioned.
"No. I'll hold in for a while the moment your.wife becomes pregnant I'll sign it over to you"
"Pregnant! Granny no." I almost went on my knees.
"This won't work on me son" she sighed before walking out on me.
Granny has always been hot headed and strict.
She has a way of getting whatever she wants.
I sat on the cold floor as I began to ponder on my life.
If I lose the inheritance it means I'll become a nobody.
I own a few businesses but those businesses won't make me super rich like my inheritance would.
"Oh Diego. I forgot to tell you this. I also froze all your accounts" she said.
"Granny no. No! Please no"
I don't know if this woman is really my grandma, she acts like she picked me from the street.
God how did I get here.
hours later
Brianna's POV.
The restaurant was filled up as always, I served the people on the huge table and went back to get other food left to serve.
"Brianna. Someone is here for you" the manager said, walking into the kitchen area.
"Okay. I'll be there sir. I'll just serve the last table".
"No, let it be. Go to the car outside someone is waiting for you"
Dropping the tray of food I walked to the car section to see a very flashy car.
Woah! Who the hell wants to see me.
I got to the car and the tinted glass whined revealing a very familiar man.
I scratched my head trying to remember where I had seen him but my brain was numb.
"Get in the car!" He ordered.
"Why?"
"Just get in the car missy. We have business to discuss"
"What business is that?" I asked again.
Of course I am curious, who does business this way?
Like I should just get myself into the car.
"Its worth millions dear" he smiled at me.
"Just get in. I just want to talk".
I gulped hard, then opened the door and got in.
"The moment I got in the man locked the door, ignited the car and zoomed off
"Where are we going too sir?"
Oh my, I'm in big soup. This man wants to kill me.
"God, I did nothing wrong. I'm you girl right? Come save me saviour" I cried.
Why did I get into this car? Have I become so in need of money?
Very soon we got to a very nice compound. A bungalow was built in the very pretty compound.
"Get down boss wants to see you"
Just then I recalled the man's face. He was the man that kept staring at me in the restaurant the other day.
We walked into the empty bungalow to meet a man who was sitting with his back against us.
"So you're here?" His thick harsh and manipulative voice came.
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 rolled my bag out of the house and locked the door. 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. Fuck am getting married in a house.The moment we got there he hunked and the gate was opened
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. I never meant it like that""Yes you did. You just made me feel
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? I was only out for a meeting and I came back to hear you've broken half of the bones in your b
Brianna's POV.I had changed to a nice simple outfit. 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.
Anna behaved like she didn't feel anything, she made sure her eyes were pinned to the television. Seeing that she didn't react badly he moved his hand to the tip of her gown, gradually moving his hands into her panties.Anna stretched her hand to the drink on the table and gulped it down, she was feeling weird. She had signed up for this so she had to do so.She squeezed her hands together as she let the sweetness of the wine wash out all nervousness Diego pulled himself more further to her as he pressed his huge body on her."Look at me" his normal ordering voice came rather calm and soft.Anna turned to him but moved her face away immediately, she turned to face the TV immediately."Guardami" he muttered as he pulled her face to him.*Look at me*Anna knew this wasn't time for pranks or time to turn each other on and let it slide. This was real business and she felt so cold. Slowly and steadily she felt his soft pink lips on hers, his beard caressed her jaw and it gave her this t
Brianna's POVAfter having just a sniff of the food I was feeling so unwell, my tummy cringed, now I laid on the bed with my eyes closed as I tried my best not to fell disgusted.Diego return with a glass filled with lime water and he handed it to me."I don't feel so good." I muttered."It's okay." I dropped the glass cup on the table beside me and was about to lie back to sleep when he stopped me."Wait."Nanny said I should give you an apple it will help reduce your nauseousness .After eating the apple I fell asleep to be woken with a sight of Diego walking in with a tray on his hands and Romeo walking behind him."Your awake, Diego said, just woke up few seconds ago. He dropped the tray on the side table.Romeo waved at me and said, uncle told me you weren't feeling well so I came to see you, thanks for the Candie auntie Awwwwwwn my sweet boy come here I placed him on the bed besides me.Come on eat up sleepy head you haven't eaten anything all day Diego said, he placed the foo
Diego's POV"what do you mean still got my nose there? What are you talking about?" "I've told you before Anna everything is fine don't bother, now can we go have our chines food?" I asked and she slowly turned to face the road and nodded."But I'll be going back to work right " she asked and I sighed."Your not going back to work, your staying home because your pregnant, beside you don't want anyone know your married to me right?""I don't want that, but I can still go to work." She replied, how do I explain to her thank don't want her coming to work because I want her fit."You can only come back on one condition." "What's that?""You have to tell everyone we are married, because I do not want them stressing you out.""Diego but no one stresses me out.""But if you tell them your my wife they won't even bother you.""Then what would I do at work, sit down and look at you? I want to work so I can excerise, so I can keep fit, doctor Valerie had told me the same thing.""Anna.""Dieg
Diego's POVMy wife laid on the bed in the big doctors office, Valerie had gloves and we went ahead to Anna.My heart was racing as I watched her do what she did to Anna."First of all Anna, I will check your vitals and then we'll go ahead to have a thorough check on how your baby is doing." 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. Anna kept replying she was okay, her h
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
~~~~~~~Brianna's POVWe had hot sections and decided to stay until later in the evening before heading home.Diego held me tight like I was going to run away soon. 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
