CEO’s Paid Bride

Diego’s POV

“I made a late reservation in the best restaurant so we’ll end up sharing it with some other couple” I said .

“That’s no problem as far we get to eat something, cause I’m starving” she echoed and I stared widely at her, she’s starving.

Why the hell will she starve herself. She knows I hate it when she starves.

“Not like I’m starving… Starving, I’m not hungry but I just can’t wait for our dinner” she sturted as she explained to me.

“You little liar” I cracked and went silent, immediately the car fell into total silent and it was awkward cause we kept starring at each other.

I’m trying my best to make this day to be about Brianna and our unborn child its a way to create new memories.

I could remember when I and Brianna first met she acted like a bad ass girl, like she was not a bit scared of my presence, she ran her mouth like a spoilt tap and I hated her then but now, things has changed, I have known her for three months and I’ve gotten to know the sweet person she is I don’t think I can loose her. I can’t.

I know I told myself I wasn’t going to fall in love with her or let myself fall but damn love happens and I can’t control myself anymore.

We finally got to the restaurant and made our way Into it.

Anna had the largest smile as we walked in she was overly excited and I wanted it just that way.

The place looked amazing, it had this perfect romantic set.

It was quiet and peaceful had fancy lights and candle all over the place soft music playing.

Beautiful curtains decorated the place.

I pulled out a chair for her and she sat still glaring at the place in aww.

“It’s beautiful, I must say”she muttered as I sat directly opposite her.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Let’s dine?” I questioned and she nodded positively I turned and noticed that a waiter was already pushing the tray towards us.

I had ordered something special, the chefs specialty and I hope she loves it.

The best strawberry flavored wine, was what I ordered for her since she isn’t allowed to take alcohol.

The waiter served our food and left us.

“What’s this?” She asked pointing at the food.

“It’s the chef’s speciality” I replied.

“It looks… I don’t know disgusting, it also smells bad” she had a disgusted look on.

“It doesn’t, look I’m eating it, it tastes so good…” I took it to my mouth and ate and damn it’s good, Anna hasn’t had a bite of it and she’s already saying it’s bad.

“Diego, I don’t want any of this I want to have pasta” she grumbled pushing the food away from her.

“Okay, waiter!” I hailed and he came towards us in a fast pace.

“Get her pasta, she doesn’t want this”

“Ma’am! Please may I know what’s wrong with it?” He asked and I glared at Anna.

“Don’t stare at me , your baby doesn’t want it” she retorted” and I cracked.

“Now you know why, she doesn’t want it so change it”

“Okay sir.”

Since Brianna awaited her food and I had mine, I couldn’t eat it so I just kept starring at her while she stared at the surrounding.

“Still haven’t told me a thing about yourself and your family?” I tried starting a conversation.

She faced me.

“You really don’t need to know a thing about my family. But I can tell you about me.” Her voice showed excitement.

“Well you probably know everything about me, my life is just as plain as it is. But ask me anything, anything about me I’ll answer”

“What kind of men are you into?” I asked and she cracked.

“Jeez, that shouldn’t be coming from my said husband!”she laughed.

“Common tell me_” I urged her to.

“Well since I was a little child, I had always wanted to get married to someone I’m free with, firstly you have to be good looking.”

“Just like I am.” I cut her off with a smirk.

“Oh shush..” She laughed.

“Someone who has respect for women, someone that’s understandable, nice, good in bed…” She added.

“Oh jeez!” I cracked.

“But you know, I’ve never wished to marry a too rich guy, or someone who’s from a royal family, because many girls won’t mind getting married to a prince charming or crowned prince but I don’t want it.”

“Why?”

“Well that’s because, he would never have time for our kid’s, he might not even know them properly, my kids might end up facing personal issues because their father wouldn’t be around because of his busy schedule.. I want a family guy” she concluded.

“Your view in things are always different Brianna”

“Isn’t…. isn’t that Serena?” Brianna gasped, making me turned to where her eyes starred at.

And there was Serena, my secretary walked in with her hand wrapped around a guys arm. A guy I know, he’s a business partner.

She had her eyes fixed on us most especially Brianna. So far for hiding our relationship.

I watched as Brianna grew tensed with every single step Serena took forward.

“Good evening Mr Luca” She greeted me with her eyes still fixed on my wife.

“Hi, Brianna” her eyes scrutinized her.

“Umh.. umm Se.. Serena, Hi!” Anna tried her best to give her a straight smile.

“Your here? _ ” she asked and Anna nodded.

“And with the CEO?”

“Miss Delvis!” I called her glaring hard at her. She took it well, why the fuck would she want to pry into my life.

She smiled and turned to her date ” let’s go”

Brianna’s POV

I really didn’t see this coming. How do I tell her, how do I make her believe there’s nothing up with us.

I was becoming really uncomfortable with them around. My heart kept thudding making me feel really cold all so suddenly.

I don’t want to be here.

“Dee!” I called, their table was far from ours but I could feel her eyes on me.

“I feel uncomfortable let’s go home”

“Are you okay, do you need to see the doctor?” He asked and I nodded negatively.

“I just freaking want to leave her now” I had this non funny look on

“Waiter!” Diego called and the guy came rushing.

“Yes sir?” He answered in a question form.

“Please get our food packed” Diego instructed and he nodded.

After a while of waiting he came back with our packed food.

“Let’s go Anna”

I stood quietly as I tried to suck my tummy in, why did I wear this tight gown, my bump was out and I was try to hide it, I placed my hand on my tummy as I tried to not look at her direction.

The moment we were out of the restaurant I gave a huge sigh and held my tummy because it was hurting.

“Are you okay?” Diego asked starring at me.

“I’m fine, let’s go home”

~~~~~

Due to how hungry I was I had to eat my food in the car.

Diego just stared at me as I ate.

I had somethings on my head again, how do I tell Serena what’s up with I and The CEO.

“Stop starring at me Diego”

“But you look beautiful”

“Even when I’m eating.. Dee common I have much things to worry of”

“Stop worrying Anna, you’ve made that a part of your life to worry over little things, remember your carrying our child, and I don’t want you both stressing” he pulled me into his embrace as we sat together at the passengers sit.

“Take us to the Valley” he instructed the driver.

“What’s the Valley? I asked.

“You’ll see”

The car got to a hault at the front of this big spacious filed. The place had so many plants and it looked really calm and beautiful.

“Common” he streched his hand for me to get down from the car.

“What’s this place?”

“Come with me” he held my hand tight as tho I was going to run away time soon.

“This is my Valley, I own it”

“Why is it called a Valley?” I asked as we walked deep into the place.

“I don’t know that’s what my mother always called it”

“How did you get it?” I asked.

“My mother gave it to me_” his voice was a little bit cracked.

“Really?”

“Yes, it’s one of the many things she gave to me” he gave me a smile.

This awkward silence grew between us.

“You know your the first lady, I’m taking to my special place”he spoke out.

“Why?”

“I don’t know, I really don’t know but I feel secure around you. I trust you won’t hurt me”

“So what’s this place about, why is it so special?”

“I used to come here with my mum when I was still a little boy, mum would take me around the Valley and tell me stories.
