Billionaire's Bride

Chapter2

Mr Anthony loves his daughter, right from her conception. He has always wanted to have a beautiful daughter like Jessica. The news of her conception by her mother got him so excited that he had to organize a feast for his family and close friends to announce to them that he was expecting a daughter even when it had not been confirmed by an ultrasound. After her mother passed on, Jessica had been all he had. And so, he loved her more and did all his power to ensure she had the best life.

Anthony Johnson, quietly sat on his seat, eager to hear what Jessica wanted to discuss with him, which is so important to her, that she couldn't wait for him to return to work to discuss it. I love you, daddy. She said happily. Ever since mummy died you have protected, provided, and cared for me showering me your unconditional love always. I appreciate it so much. You are the best daddy in the world, she said and stood up to give the father who was already beaming with a smile a good hug. I understand how important my getting married to billionaire Frank is to you and I am not ignorant of the fact that you care about my happiness and that is why, I have decided to get married to billionaire Frank to further cement both of your relationship and I hope he makes a good husband.

Oh! Really? This is good news and the best way to start my day. He chuckled as he reached out to hug his daughter running his fingers through her blonde hair and whispered into her ear, Thank you, my daughter. Your union is blessed. He said joyfully. Thanks daddy. Jessica replied audibly. I will inform my friend right away.

Anthony Johnson, quickly went upstairs in search of his mobile phone in other to put a call through to billionaire Frank to inform him of his daughter's decision. He called him severally, but unfortunately, his friend didn't pick up. Maybe he's not with his mobile phone, I will see him in his office later in the day. He said rather coldly.

He prepared for work almost immediately and in no time he was ready. Goodbye, Daddy, and have a great day. Jessica said while hugging him with her face radiating in smiles. Thanks, sweetie and be good. He replied audibly and drove out to work as he was almost going late. As Mr Anthony drove to work that morning, his face radiated and beamed in joy so much so, that anyone who saw him would think he had just gifted a huge sum of money. His office is just a few minutes drive from his residence. In no time he arrived at his office.

Anthony tried to reach his friend again as he settled at work that morning. Luckily, this time, his friend billionaire Frank picked up the call. I'm so sorry Anthony, I wasn't close to my mobile phone when you called earlier. He said apologetically. It's okay. Anthony replied not feeling displeased but rather more excited that he was finally able to reach his friend that morning and couldn't wait to break the news to him.

Jessica has decided to marry you. She informed me of her decision this morning before I left the house. That was the reason I called earlier, unfortunately, you weren't close to your mobile phone. Anthony said happily. Wow! Really? She has agreed? billionaire Frank asked with excitement in his voice to confirm if he had his friend correctly. Yes, she gave me her word and I believe her. Jessica's father affirmed. This is an amazing way to start my day and call for celebration. Please can we have lunch together this afternoon? Bill on me, he requested sharply. One could feel how excited billionaire Frank is from his voice.

The two friends met that afternoon for lunch to celebrate Jessica's decision to marry billionaire Frank. They had ordered the same food grilled chicken and chips with wine and had a toast to the news of the moment.

Billionaire Frank and Anthony Johnson left for their various offices as soon as they were done with lunch. Frank was super excited all through his day at work. People working with him were wondering what could be the reason for the high spirit he exhibited at work that day which wasn't always the case with him. He was known to be a very serious person at work. He rarely wore a smiling face during work hours because he believed that smiling during work was an act of unseriousness that could make a person make terrible mistakes. However, on this particular day, his mood was different.

Daddy, have you informed your friend about my decision to marry him? And when are you going to arrange our meeting? Jessica asked her father subtly.

My dear, I have informed him. He replied with a smile. I will speak with him soon to find out when he will be changed so you both to meet. Okay, Daddy, I will be looking forward to it. I love you Daddy she said with her face looking like she just won a big contest.

The Johnsons were sitting in the living room watching one of their favorite television programs together when suddenly their entrance doorbell rang. Jessica, are you expecting anyone? her father asked with a surprised look because he didn't remember inviting anyone to the house that evening. No Daddy she replied quietly. Mr Anthony decided to go and see who was at the door, he went into his room to get dressed because he didn't have any shirt on before going to see

who was at the door.
