The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

CHAPTER 29

Aidan's POV

After Damien left, I could no longer concentrate on my work. I tried doing something else to wave the distraction away but nothing was working. 

My mind kept drifting to what happened between Damien and me and our conversation. I tried Madeline's number to ask why she missed the appointment but it wasn't going through. She was a middle-aged woman of 50 and not just a business partner but also a friend. She has businesses in Greece and we have a partnership with one of her car companies.

I already told Tristan when he came to my office to help me with the truth about Anna's baby paternity. He said it wasn't going to be possible unless the lady was present in the hospital for the prenatal diagnosis to be carried out on her. I want to be sure of everything before taking her to my mother. 

I don't want to raise my mother's hope in vain and I know I will let Anna go once it is confirmed that the baby isn't mine, I have no business with her anymore.

I told Tristan to go to the hospital where she was taken to the previous week when she was sick and he said it won't be possible either. I felt the doctor would know the truth about the baby's paternity but Tristan insisted that the diagnosis has to be carried out on her.

I know I have to meet with Anna then, to persuade her to go with me to mother and to go to the hospital with Tristan and me, if my attention will be needed. Since it is past noon already and I am practically doing nothing, I decide to visit Annabelle. I hope she will be home.

My eyes fall on the sheet of paper that contains the address of their home and after a moment of twirling my chair around idly, I pick it up and get up.

I take long strides towards the door and move out. Chloe raises her head from her desk at that moment when I am out. She stands up with fear.

"I'm sorry, boss", she apologizes with sincerity. I am wondering why she is apologizing when I remember it is because of Damien.

"I'm sorry about that woman and for letting Sir Damien come in without your permission, please forgive me, sir", She pleads with me, clutching her hands together.

"It's ok", I am not mad at her. I move closer.

"Thank you, sir", she smiles.

"About the lady", I say. "let her in without any questioning when next she comes here."

"Ok, sir", she responds obediently.

"What about sir Damien?" She asks.

"Try not to let him in but if he is proving difficult, let him be so he won't hurt you. I know how to handle him. I will place a restraining order on him soon." I utter. 

I know Damien is capable of hurting anyone that crosses his path and hurting my secretary is one of the few things he can do within a twinkle of an eye.

"Alright, sir."

I throw my office keys at her. She catches it immediately. "Cancel all the appointments for the rest of the evening and in case I am not back by 4 pm, lock my office and come before me tomorrow morning. If you are one minute late, consider yourself fired." I say to her.
