Billionaire's Broken Wife

A Date?

On Sunday morning, Diana woke up early, today it was her turn to help her mother in the kitchen. She brushed her teeth and splashed water on her face. She went into the kitchen. Lucy was already chopping some vegetables for the omelettes.

"Good morning Mama, what should I do first?" Diana said while giving her mother a sweet smile.

"Good morning honey, I am almost done with the breakfast preparations, how about cook the omelettes?" Lucy said.

"Sure Mama." Diana replied.

After a while everyone gathered to have their breakfast. Diana and Edward set the table, while Lucy was making the coffee. Finally their grandmother came and they sat on their chairs.

"How many times have I told you to put less spices in the omelette? and why is this thing so oily? Don't you know my cholesterol level is high these days? All these years and you still don't know how to cook." And once again grandmother started complaining. 

"I am sorry mother, I will be more careful next time." Lucy said with a low voice.

"Grandma, please don't blame Mama, this is not her fault, I cooked this omelette, I will be more careful next time. Besides if you don't like it you can have the half fried egg instead." Diana said while looking at her grandmother.

"You are such an ill mannered girl, you simply do not know how to talk to your elders and what I said was absolutely true, your mother is just useless. She does not know anything." Grandmother said angrily while looking at Diana. 

"Diana apologize to your grandmother, now." All of a sudden, Liam said it angrily and then Lucy and Edward both started staring at Diana worriedly. Diana just sat their quietly while staring at her plate.

"Diana I won't repeat myself, apologize." Liam said again angrily, while glaring at Diana.

"I am sorry." Diana said and looked into her father's eyes.

"Now get lost and cook this omelette again for your grandmother." Liam said while looking  back into Diana's eyes.

Diana kept on looking into her father's eyes, she was really seconds away from losing her temper completely, after a while she turned her head and looked at her mother, who was looking at her with glossy eyes. Then she got up from her chair and started walking towards the kitchen. Liam started eating his breakfast again. Before leaving the room, she glanced at her grandmother who looked back at her with a cunning smile on her face. While cooking omelette she thought to herself, and smiled sarcastically, how lovely is our family's Sunday morning breakfast is. She placed a new omelette in front of her grandmother without glancing in anyone's direction and walked away. She got inside her room, laid on her bed diagonally and got lost in her thoughts once again. By the time, she stopped thinking and looked at the wall clock, it has struck 12:30. She got up from her bed and checked her phone, Alex has texted her the address. She opened her wardrobe, picked a pickle green colored, full sleeves, knee long dress and went to take her bath. After that, she dried her hair and made a messy bun of it, she tied her brown thin belt around her waist and finally wore her brown, ankle boots. She went out of her room and left the house. When she was sitting in the taxi, she texted her mother.

"Mama, I am going to meet a friend for lunch and please don't worry about me, I am absolutely fine." Diana lied.

At first, she thought of cancelling the plan but now that she is out from her house, in the open sky, she is feeling much better. After half an hour, she reached at the restaurant, she got out from the taxi and went inside. She thought, if only she had googled it before agreeing to Alex, the restaurant was huge and totally mesmerizing but too fancy for a simple lunch. The manager came to her with a smile on her face and asked Diana about the reservation, nervously, she called Alex.

"Hey Alex, I am at the restaurant now but the manager is asking for the reservation." Diana said with a nervous tone.

"Oh! Okay, wait for me." Alex said and ended the call.

Diana stood there and gave a small smile to the manager. She looked around and finally found Alex walking towards her. His hair were perfectly settled above his forehead, his grey buttoned up shirt was hugging his body perfectly and was showing his biceps. At last he stood in front of her and smiled while looking directly into her eyes. For a moment, Diana's heart stopped and she just stared back into his eyes.

"She is with me, I will take her to our table, you may leave." Alex said to the manager, after breaking their eyes' contact.

"Okay sir." The manager replied while checking him out, she only left when Alex glared at her intensely.

"Diana, lets go to our table." Alex said softly, after looking at Diana again and started walking.

They sat on their table, the waiter brought them the menu, both of them placed their order and the waiter left.

"How have you been?" Alex started the conversation while constantly staring into Diana's eyes.

"Fine, what about you?" She asked.

"I was also fine." Alex replied.

"But, Alex we could have gone to more normal, of a place, than this, isn't this place a bit too fancy?" Diana asked cautiously.

"Oh! Diana, you know, you should sometimes stop worrying about everything. This is also our restaurant. Now tell me, did you miss me?" Alex asked with amusement in his eyes.

"What? seriously?" Diana chuckled.

"I don't know about you, but I missed you a lot." Alex said while smiling at her sweetly.

"Alex.....But why would you miss me?" Diana asked with wide eyes.

"Because I like you.......Will you go out with me?" Alex said with passion in his eyes.

"Pardon?" She could not believe her ears and that was all she could utter from her mouth.

"Yes, Diana, I am serious. I really likes you a lot. Please, I promise, I will never hurt you." Alex said with the softest tone, he had ever used in front of someone.

"I can't do this.....No, I won't." Diana replied with emotionless eyes, she got up from her chair and before Alex could stop her, she left.
