Secretly Married To A Billionaire

Chapter 3

The sun rose up from the clear blue sky. Its light casted upon all things on the Earth below. The yellow leaves of the trees fell down and soon the wind blew it farther away. A black Mustang shimmered under the sun as it dashed on the asphalt road in that city. It was an eye catcher really. It stopped on the tall white building – the Evanson Ace Hospital. The chauffer open the back door and soon, a handsome man stepped out. Clad in an expensive Armani suit that fits the owner. People and staff from the hospital bowed as he passed by. His strong aura will make you cower when you see him. He is an epitome of a God reborn.

His personal assistant pressed the elevator button going to the topmost floor, the office of the CEO. The elevator pinged, announcing their arrival. From the topmost floor, one can see the three hundred sixty degree view of the city. A brown door came to their view with golden letters embossed at the top – OFFICE OF THE CEO.

The P.A. knocked on the door three times and opened it, letting the man in a suit enter while he remained outside. Once inside, a huge chandelier made of gold and diamonds will make you feel intimidated and at the same time awed. A man just as the same age as the man with the suit is sitting on the office chair in front of a long glass table. He have a name plate above it that states, Richard Evanson – CEO.

“How can I help you?” CEO Evanson asked in a monotone voice, his face didn’t show any emotion. The man just ignored his words and sat comfortably on the sofa seat.

“Seriously, the intimidating aura doesn’t suit you man. Cut the act!” he then said before he crossed his legs.

“Don’t start now Aaron! I’m so busy you know. You can go home if you don’t have something important to say,” said CEO Evanson while rubbing his eyes that looks like never had gotten any sleep nor rest for a couple of days.

“I bet your old man made you grumpy too. Well, I’ll be straight to the point huh, Doctor Richard Evanson – CEO of Evanson Ace Hospital…”

“Cut the long creepy name Aaron and get the hell out of here!” Aaron laughed then stopped when Richard glared at him.

“You already know the reason man. How is she?” Aaron asked after the silence.

“Well, she’s fine. Greatly recovering actually. Your baby love is fine.” Aaron smiled when he heard the term baby love causing Richard to shake his head in disbelief.

“You’re actually sick in the head, bud. That’s not good anymore. Don’t worry. I got your back. I own this hospital and you can come here anytime. I think your brain is not well, bud. Might as well get it checked or I can recommend you to the best psychiatrists in the country.”

“You’ll be like this when you fall in love too,”Aaron said with a smile on his lips and he was in a good mood after hearing that his ‘baby love’ is okay. It was more than enough to assure him and to lessen the worry in his heart.

“Tss! Love sucks bud. It makes people go crazy and you are one of them. Smiling like an i***t, doing idiotic things for the sake of that f*****g love. That’s shitty to be honest. Anyway, good luck on talking to her. I heard that the girl is feisty and hell will break loose. So right now, I am going to light this candle for you.” Richard took out a lighter from his pocket and lighted up a white candle that was on the table.

“Are you congratulating me?” Aaron asked, confused. Richard shook his head and laughed.

“No. I’m praying for your soul that will soon depart your body, bud! May your soul rest in peace. Get ready as the tiger comes out. Rawr!”

“Tsk! For a doctor, you are so into superstition. Anyway, pray for me bud! If I fail then I will take back every single penny that I invested in your hospital. Okay?”

Richard ceased from laughing and his eyeballs almost dropped from its soccet because of what he just heard.

“Hey! There’s nothing like that on our contract! Don’t you love me? Remember, I am your favorite cousin!” he said dramatically before wiping the fake tears under his eyes.

“Because I don’t have a choice. Your sister is a pain in the ass…”

Aaron wasn’t able to finish whatever he wants to say when a strong booming sound coming from the wood that hit with impact was heard. It stopped Aaron from speaking. Both men looked at the door only to see Neshida, the younger sister of Richard that was looking at them like she needs to take their souls out of their bodies.

“Damn you two! Don’t you dare run your rotten tongues that wags like tails here! Do you both want to die huh?!” she shouted as she entered. Neshida, without a doubt is a beautiful lady but her brute words and her bodily actions contradicts her pretty face. She’s tall, has a fair complexion, her wavy brown hair and her tantalizing eyes will surely attract a lot of men. But she wore a pair of men’s shoess, and men’s clothing.

“Oh! The sss princess is here!” Aaron said while massaging his temple. He knows what the lady is capable of.

“Oh shut up Aaron!” Neshida shouted and she tossed herself on the sofa.

“You are so disrespectful aren’t you brat?”

“Respect is absent for today. Only brat is present. What can you say?” Neshida picked a piece of candy from the coffee table and started munching it.

“Brat is always present. Anyway, what are you doing here? It’s still 10 in the morning Neshida. Aren’t you supposed to be in class?” asked Richard. It is Wednesday and their bratenilla have a class.

“Hmmp! That ugly and annoying bald man sent me out saying I’m sleeping at his very boring subject. He should thank me for being present. Anyway, don’t tell our old man that I’m here,” she said while looking at her older brother. “He can be a pain in the gut most of the times,” Neshida said as she headed towards the longer couch.

“And what exactly will you do here?” her brother asked.

“I’ll sleep here at your couch! Thanks bro! Love yah!”

Before they both know it, Neshida was already snoring on the couch. Both men shook their heads in disbelief.

“Anyway, I’ll be off now. I’ll talk to her. I already talked to her parents last night so there’s no problem anymore. Pray for my soul bud!”

“Yeah, yeah! Get lost.”

When Aaron got out from the CEO’s office, both he and his P.A. went straight to room 3689. They stopped at the very door and Aaron’s heart started to pound hard on his chest as if it wants to come out. He was beyond anxious. He was sweating coldly but he never showed emotion on his face. He knows that he’ll mess up once his P.A. will see him on that state.

“Sir, do I need to be with you inside?” asked the P.A.

“No need Benny. Just wait for me in the car. Where are the papers that I told you to bring?”

“Here is it Sir. All complete.” The P.A handed an attache case and soon left after bowing his head down as a sign of respect. Aaron was left staring at the door of the room. His heart almost felt like it went to his throat. He’s never been like this all his life. He was counting up to a hundred but his hands couldn’t just act and turn the door knob that will be the way to open the door.

“Okay Aaron. You need to calm down.” He reached for a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped all the beads of sweat on his forehead. He raised his fist and softly knocked on the wooden door. With all his courage gathered, he raised his hand to reach the door knob that felt cold against his palm before he deeply brethed and opened the door and went inside.

Just like most VIP hospital rooms, this room is also painted with cream and earth colored accents. From the side was a window covered with a long lavender curtains that reaches the floor. The natural light from the sun comes from there. There were flowers on the vases and the aroma of them makes the air feel fresher. On the bed sitting, is a beautiful lady that eats an apple or at least tries to bite on it but clearly was not able to because of his sudden appearance.

“Who are you?” asked she. Her voice so soft like it almost felt silken on his senses. Her doe eyes stared at him and she bit her lower lip – a sign that she’s curious.

Aaron stared at the beauty who was looking intently at him. Despite having the IV drips on her right hand and was wearing the hospital gown she still looked ethereal. Her long straight hair that falls on her back. It wasn’t even combed but she looks good with a messy hair. Her cheeks doesn’t have any tint to it, maybe because she just got her consciousness a few hours back and her lips were a bit pale but it didn’t lessed her beauty. He gulped and he noticed that his hands started to tremble. He quickly hid it behind him before the lady would even notice. And deep inside him, he was composing the right words that he was about to say. He cleared his throat and said, “I am your husband.”
