The billionaire’s wife

Chapter 2

“Are you sure you want to force a naive, innocent little girl into marrying you?” Blake raised his head in confusion, trying to know if Steve was joking.

“Why are you asking me that? Do you like her? Or do you have a problem with who I end up with? Steve looked at his dad motionlessly.

“I know you are doing this just to spike Mum, but you need to understand that she's over you and she's with someone she loves”. Steve said with a soothing voice.

Blake smashed the banana he was peeling on the counter and looked Steve in the eyes. “If only you weren't my son, you'd have been part of the dessert on tonight's menu. He said while looking him dead in the eyes.

He wipes his hand with a hand towel and climbs the stairs, heading to his room.

”Even if you’re my dad, I’ll still tell you the truth” Steve whispered.

“Gabdo! Go get the car ready”, he said to his driver.

“Okay sir,” he said.

Blake turned towards the Panoramic Window wall with a glass of wine in his left hand and a blunt in his right hand.

“The media has to capture every moment of this engagement. Emily has to see that I can do without her and even get married,” he said while smiling.

Mia wakes up and goes to take her bath and there was a knock on the door.

“Who’s it?” she asked vigorously while wrapping her towel around her chest.

“Hello miss, I was sent by Mr. Blake to come to get you,” he said to her as she stood still and listened

She opens the door and she sees Gabdo.

“You can come in,” she said while opening the door.

“No ma'am, I'll wait in the car,” he said as he walked into the car.

He heads into a fine luxurious car and she closes the door, her heart so heavy and full of pain.

“You can do this Mia, you are doing this for you, Vicky, and Aunt… okay” she breathes heavily and takes her bath.

She dresses up and heads towards the car with a few essentials. Gabdo steps out of the car and opens the door while she enters the car.

“Wow, did he just open the car!” She whispers in excitement.

They headed towards a Dior store and she kept on wondering what they were doing there. He parked the car in the parking lot.

“Ma’am, Mr. Blake ordered me to drop you at the Dior store so you can get some clothes,” he said.

Mia’s face lit up with excitement and anxiousness. She

felt a bit of homeliness.

“Alright,” she responded.

Her jaw dropped as she walked into the store, she was well greeted by the staff despite her mum's jeans and crop top.

She looked around and was lost in her imagination and about to spin. Gabdo noticed and tried to distract her.

“Ma’am, we have to be swift, the guests will start arriving soon.”

“Yeah, that's right...”

She swiftly picked out some dresses, holding them against her chest and sizing them while looking at the giant mirror with a smile.

She checked the price tag and her smile vanished, her eyes widened as she dropped the dresses at the speed of light.

Gabdo notices and grabs them behind her.

“Ma’am, you can pick whatever you like, everything will be taken care of”.

Mia walked around and picked out every outfit she had ever dreamed of.

“ I'd grab everything I could before Gabdo would receive a call from Blake and change his mind”. She said while she smirks.

Gabdo gets a call from Blake.

“Hello sir”

“Where are you? The guests are waiting... He questioned.

Gabdo lifts his head and looks toward Mia.

“We are still shopping at the mall, sir...

Blake cuts him short

“Get your ass back to the mansion now!”

He yells and ends the call.

Gabdo moves over to Mia and whispers to her...

“Ma'am we have to go, boss just called right now”.

Her glowing face instantly shrugged, and she quickly moved to the counter. Gabdo made payments and they left.

They got to the mansion and she was greeted by three maids and they showed her to her room, she was so nervous as she has never been to a room as big as their entire house.

She lay on the bed facing the ceiling, her hands on her tummy while she contemplates

“This place is huge but yet empty inside, my heart is empty. Oh Adrian, wish you were still here... Wish you weren't taken from me” she said as tears roll down her eyes.

She tries to cheer herself up

“Mia! Be brave... You're doing this for Vicky and Aunt, at least her health isn't at stake anymore look at the life you're been given”.

She said as she walks towards the items she just got, she opens them and goes through the clothes while looking at the mirror in front of her beaming with smiles.

She tries one of the dresses, her face lit up as she stared at herself.

Suddenly the door opens, and she was gripped with fear. Two maids and an elderly-looking woman in her sixties walk into her room.

She looks at them in disarray, her eyes filled with confusion she tries to maintain her cool and observe what they were doing

“Melissa, get the rose water ready for her bath, Abby, make sure her dress and outfits are ready before she’s done with the bath,” The elderly woman said

They all chorused “Yes ma'am” and went for their assigned tasks.

Mia was filled with thoughts but her facial expression was doing the whole talking. The elderly woman moves closer to her and grabs her by the hand...
