Brianna's POV

    

When 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 for us.

Stepping out of the car, I walked to the guard man.

"Settle him and get my things. Thank you" I realised a very welcoming smile which he returned with a nod.

I wore a red off shoulder gown with little fake stones on them. I had my hair laid down on my very flawless shoulder.

I raised my shoulder high, my head higher and walked in. I was prepaid for everything.

"Hmm glad you're here let's get things done"

"Sure"

"Welcome miss." The man in black and white shirt and pants greeted me. I guess he was the judge that would be joining us.

"Sit," The man I was getting married to said. I don't even know my soon to be husband's name, it's a shame.

"Take this read through it." The judge said.

"Diego De Lucas huh!" I scoffed realising an eye roll.

"Wait this states that, I'll have to perform all duties as wife does that include sex" I asked him.

Diego turned to me with a frown, "we've gone through this Missy"

"But you never__" he cut me short with a bang on the table. "Just sign the fucking thing".

"Yikes, there's no need to be an angry hubby," I joked.

In a few seconds we signed the documents and took pictures with the judge and the eyewitness.

Once the judge was gone he turned to me.

"Now sign this"his horas voice came.

I read through it before signing. It stated that our deal was only for a year.

"Missy, we'll be going to my house now. I hope you're ready?"

"Yes I am" I gave him a glare.

We walked out of the house and went straight into his cars.

I looked at the ring on my finger and then his, can't believe I'm married.

The drive to his house was quite long and through the journey he was quiet.

The moment the gate was opened he turned to me. "You'll act normal and you let me do all the talking"he whispered into my ears.

Diego's POV.

We got out of the car and walked straight into the mansion. 

Granny was sitting in the living room with Yasmin as they chatted.

"Diego. Your back, great timing it's brunch" Yasmin said with a smile on her face. I replied with a cold look.

"Granny I want you to meet Brianna my wife!" I started and granny looked at me with a perplexed look. I stretched my hand for her to come forward.

She walked elegantly with a smile on her face.

"I don't understand you son".

"Granny, you asked me to get married. I have. And this is my wife Brianna Salvador"

"Cousin. How did all this happen?"

"I and Brianna had been dating before I left for Italy some years ago. I had actually come to America because of her. Because I wanted to unite with her" I lied through my teeth while Brianna looked at me in shock.

Granny walked to where we were standing and pushed me away from Brianna.

"Tell me girl. How much did my grandson pay you to do this?"

"Granny_ " I tried to speak but she cut me off with a glare.

Brianna looked at me with tension rising in her face.

Gosh I hope this girl doesn't ruin thing's.

"No Granny, babe never did such. I mean we love each other and that's why we got married so fast. You can check our papers are all genuine" She smiled, taking granny's hand.

Brianna was way taller than Granny so it looked so cute the way she talked and held her.

"Show them?" granny asked and I brought the envelope and gave it to her.

She read through it and almost lost balance but Brianna cut her.

"So it's true. My Grandson is married, not only married but married to a beautiful lady. Here take this you should keep it safe" she said handing Brianna the papers.

And in a few seconds they were hugging.

"Thank you so much for this news Diego" granny also pulled me into a hug.

After the hugging and kisses. I and Brianna excused ourselves to our room.

We have to share a room until further notice cause I can't risk granny finding out that it's just a deal.

I opened the door and she got in realising a deep breath.

"That was close"she sighed sitting on the bed.

I watched her take off her shoes then brought out a wipe from her bag and cleaned the makeup she wore.

"I am starving can I have food?" She pouted.

"Let's go down," I ordered.

"Her dude. We're married now, you can stop giving me commands"she rolled her words out.

"Let's go down Brianna" I glared at her this time around my voice was harsher.

"I'll just eat in the room. Can I?"

"I'll have a maid send you food"

I walked out of the room straight to the dinning. Granny and Yasmin were already seated enjoying brunch.

"Adele. Send food up for Brianna".

"Yes sir", she answered.

"Why? If she doesn't want to eat here then you can't. Take the food up for both of" Granny's orders.

"But granny_"

"Diego. You just got married, you should know how to treat your wife. Adele give him the tray of food" I sighed inwardly and took the try from Adele.

I successfully carried the tray of food to my room, I opened the door to meet Brianna seated on the sofa, she had changed into a blue shirt and shirt.

"Food!" She squeaked the moment she saw me.

I dropped the food on the table in front of her then sat quietly on the open seat.

I'm few seconds Brianna was on her third spoon of pasta.

My eyes widened in shock as I watched her eat.

It was like she hadn't eaten for days.

"Ugh!" She coughed .

    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.

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

    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.

    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
