Billionaire’s Bride

CHAPTER 4

Dylàn swallowed..

" Yeah, I figured you would check me out a little bit considering the fact that it's been awhile you've seen me " Meave said and he blinked. Looking at her, Dylan licked his lips.

" I'm still surprised you're in front of me" Dylan said, and she smiled, walking closer to him.

" I know, and it's good to see you too," Meave said. Dylan was going for a peck on her cheeks but instead, Meave kissed him… Dylan drew back immediately.

" You can't do that, Meave. We are no longer a thing besides I'm married " Dylan said, and she frowned a little bit.

" So it's true ? The rumors I'm hearing." Meave says, disappointed, and Dylan breathes out softly.

" They aren't rumors, Meave, It's true " Dylan forced the words out of his mouth. A glint of pain was displayed in Meave's heart, she swallowed down thickly. Still, still unable to believe it, Meave nodded her head slowly.

" Well, a married man should have a ring on. I don't see one ". She mutters and Dylan arches a brow at her. He checks his left hand and, truth be told, no ring was present. Dylan sighs, recalling he took it off when going to bed last night.

" It doesn't matter. What matters is that I'm married, and we're not together anymore. Most especially, we can't be seen this way in public, at least not this close. " Dylan rasped, stepping away from her. He took her traveling box and started towards where he parked his car.

Meave frowns watching him leave. " How could he ? How could he say such words to her ? "

They have been lovers for forever. How could he just move on from her to another woman in the space of just two months. He didn't even go around carrying women like how she did when they broke up, but instead, he went ahead to marry, to wed another woman ' How could he !! '

Meave yelled at the back of her head. Her hands fisted, She tried to calm herself down.

" Meave ! " Dylan shook her vigorously and she snapped out of the thought

" I have been calling you. What were you thinking ? "

" Oh, I -" She clears her throat trying to get her words right .

" I must be tired" Meave mutters.

" Great, let's get going because I have to be somewhere, but before that, you're going to tell me what you are doing here in Washington '' Dylan said, and they both walked to the car. Meave doesn't say anything. He opens the car for her, and she gets in. He turns around also doing the same, and the moment he gets in, his phone rings.

Dylan sighed, noticing it was Katherine calling. Meave leaned closer, seeing the contact was saved. As" Wiffy " Meave widened her eyes and snapped her head at Dylan, furious. Dylan rejects the call and ignites the car, joining the road.

Meave stared out the window in anger. She frowned.

Dylàn pulled the car at his penthouse. Getting down, he walks into the house, Meave following behind.

" Why would you bring me here ? " Meave asked immediately. They got to the mini-sitting room

" So we can have a little chat. We can't be seen publicly " Dylan says, looking at her and she bites her lips.

" Well, I like the privacy" Meave said, walking slowly to him.

I mean, I remember having a lot of fun here " She added, standing a few feet before Dylan ; She watched him look away from her, She smiled, stepping closer.

" We - "

" Yes, we had a lot of fun, Meave. But that's all gone. Why are you in Washington? You texted and -

" And maybe if you had replied, maybe I wouldn't be here. Maybe you won't be so overwhelmed by seeing me right now cause you won't be able to stay loyal to your Dear Wife ! " Meave snapped at him angrily, and he looked at her, surprised by her remark.

" Two Months Dylan, Just how easy was it for you to forget me ? "

" It's not my fault Meave, Can we just forget about it and move on ? " Dylàn mumbled and she scoffed unbelievably.

" Move on ? You say it like it's that simple. You break up with me, then you go ahead to wed another woman. She deserved the ring but I didn't ? '' Meave asks, heartbroken, and Dylan ruffles his hair in frustration.

" I'm sorry alright! I am. I had to break up with you, I had to get married.. It all happened so fast and none of it is my fault either; so please meave Just tell me, why are you here ?"

" Why I'm here ? '' Meave asked, walking closer to him and he nodded.

" I'm here for -" Meave paused, looking at him, And she licked her lips.

" Contract deal, I'm here to sign a deal with Lyten Enterprise " Meave says, facing down

" Oh. '' Dylan muttered and she looked at him. He nodded shortly.

" Alright then. It's good to see you and call me if you need anything " Dylan said, walking past her.

" Where are you going ? " Meave asked.

" I told you before, I need to be somewhere " Dylan says.

" I don't deserve to know where you have to be ? I just arrived, aren't you supposed to even entertain me ? " Dylan sighs halting. He turned around.

" You know the way around Meave, Help yourself " He said and he continued on his track he scoffed unbelievably.

Dylan stops on his track as if forgetting something. He turns around and heads up the stairs and into the bedroom. Grabbing his ring on the dressing table, he puts it on and exits the room.

Meave notices the ring on his finger this time and frowns a little. He walks past her and she swallows because she was expecting him to say something, but he doesn't .

" Let me guess, You are going to see her " Meave says, her voice full of jealousy, Dylan halts yet again, he gently licks his lips and he continues on his track, He walks out of the house, leaving Maeve who stares, bewildered.

Getting into the car, Dylan drives out of the penthouse heading home. And through the drive, He found it hard to believe that Meave was in the country for business … One part of him wants to believe but the other part doesn't, Most especially because of the look in her eyes.

Dylan pulls the car over at the garage, He alighted the car and throws the car key to a guard. Dylan walked further into the mansion, the guards continued to bow as he walked past them.

Stepping into the big sitting room, No voice was heard and no one was present at the sitting room either, Dylan furrowed his eyebrow.

" Has Jason left already ? Or he never came ? " He thought.

Taking slow steps up, Dylan walked through the alley, walked past doors and headed for their bedroom. He halted when he got to a particular door.

" Oh please! Let this be good " He muttered under his breath.

Pushing the door open, he walks in . Dylan sights her combing her hair, The moment she notices him, Katherine stands up and walks briskly towards him.

" Hey " Dylan murmured and she smiles

" I wasn't expecting you so soon " She muttered

" Why ? You don't want me back yet ? " Dyan asked, shutting the door behind.

" Hell, you have no idea how long I've been waiting. Jason told me you were with a friend at the hospital. I hope she's okay ? " Kate asked, wrapping her hands around his neck. Dylan's brow arched in confusion but he was quick to play along.

" Yeah, she is " Dylan said and she nodded. There was silence for a while as no one said anything to each other, but shared an unending eye contact. Dylan clears his throat after awhile.
