MY SECRET BILLIONAIRE HUSBAND

ANABEL POV "Come on Dad, you are joking right". "I meant every word I said. You are getting married to Alfred Smith". "Any guy but not him, you know how irresponsible he is". "Ohh! Anabel it's not the character. It's the money involved. And if you refused then I have to stop yours mother's treatment". With that been said he walked out on me. "Argh!" I growled, pulling my hair as if it's was the cause of my misfortune. I wonder what sort of father use his daughter's for his own gain. "This is the 21st century, you can't force me to marry some random guy for God's sake" I yelled at him. I know it's of no use but I couldn't help myself. Staring at my reflection I wondered how my life changed so fast, that my dad is willing to trade my happiness. Feeling so devastated, I felt a line of tears escape my eyes. After sobbing for a while, I decided to go visit my mom in the hospital. I jumped into the bathroom and immediately took a thorough bath. Washing away the day stress, I shampooed my hair. I packed my brown silky hair in a ponytail. Dressed in a blue color fitted gown. I walked out. I called a cab and gave the driver the address of the general hospital where my mom is admitted. On getting to the hospital, I hopped off from the taxi. " Ma'am you haven't paid". "Oh sorry" pulling out a dollar note from my bag I gave it to him. "And you can keep the change". I walked out on him not responding to his words of gratitude's. Literally running in to the hospital, I don't know why but I just have a weird feeling that something is wrong somewhere. Rushing into my mother's ward. I saw my dad and his family. Yeah you heared me. He had an affair with my mom best friend Naomi, and they have a daughter. "What are you all doing here?" I questioned them. "What do you mean by what are we doing here" Silvia snapped at me. "Of course we dropped by to see your mother" Naomi replied "And when did you all turn to my mother's keeper" "Anabel you dare not speak to that way". Yeah that's my dad defending his mistress. "Honey do you see how she disrespect me, she treats me like a plague". Naomi cried. "And for the record we came to finalize our deal" "What's deal?" I couldn't help myself from feeling anxious. "Are you getting married to Alfred Smith or should I stop your mother's treatment". "Dad are you really serious" "Do you think Dad is that jobless to start chitchatting with you" Silvia Said. "The last time I checked, I was discussing with my Father". "I have reached an agreement with the doctors, so your mother's life depends on your decision". With teary eyes, I stared at my father. I still couldn't believe that the man standing right next to me is the man who birthed me. To think he would go as far as threatening me with my mother's life in order to accomplish his selfish dream makes me sick. Staring at the figure laying, I wish she could open her eyes and tell me that everything will be okay. "Dad, you can stop the treatment if you want besides she is better off dead" Silvia said. I rushed to her and gave her a tight slap. "Anabel!! he yelled at me, is this how I trained you. Silvia is right, I can stop the treatment if I want because your mother is better off dead". My Dad told me right in my eyes. Right there I decided to get married to Alfred Smith, the county's degraded bachelor than to live with my hypocrite family. "Yes Mr. Gilbert I will marry Alfred Smith". I announced to him in a low voice. "Really!! My sister is getting married to Alfred Smith, the country's most degraded bachelor". Silvia said mocking me. "So tell me Sis, when is the big day, what color do you have in mind, what brand of designer will design your wedding gown?. Don't mind me I forgot your husband to be is not capable of hosting such extravagant party. Except if your Father-in-law will be kind enough to sponsor the wedding". Silvia laughed. See's how I hate her guts. Silvia eyes shone with delight, her biggest obstacle has been removed. "You made the right decision" Mr. Gilbert praised me. "And the wedding is in a week time". Naomi smiled, she knew Anabel will agree to the proposal. Achieving their goals they left the hospital. "Argh!, I cried I still can't believe what happened now. With my head so messed up I decided to go out for a stroll.
