CEO’s Paid Bride

Brianna’s POV

He wants Tara? Who is Tara? He just walked out on me.

Yesterday before I went to bed, Granny called and told me of Diego’s birthday, I was kinda confused cause, Diego didn’t tell me it’s his birthday, he said we would be going out today to celebrate his unborn heir.

I was already dressed in a pink gown with a simple heel on, I just wanted to wish him romantically and I find out he doesn’t celebrate his day, he has never, I mean why would he not.

I glanced at the wall clock and gave a sigh. We’ll have enough time to talk later today.

I folded my lips together, took my bag from the chair and walked out.

Honestly who the hell is Tara? I kept poundering on the same question.

I climbed down the stairs and sat for breakfast, Hilda served me a huge portion of food which I finished and almost asked for more, if I wasn’t getting late, I would have asked for more.

Once I was done eating, I walked out of the house to where my car was packed.

The car door was wide open and Jason stood at the side with this cute smile. “Good morning Ma’am”He greeted and I nodded.

“I’ll drive Jason.” I echoed and moved to the drivers side.

“No ma’am boss will get mad at me, I might loose my job”he was quick to answer me and had a pleaing look on.

“Don’t worry Jason, I know how to drive, don’t be scared”

“No ma’am please, that isn’t the case. Boss will get angry, he hired me to be your driver because he doesn’t want you getting stressed” He explained but damn I wasn’t even trying to listen.

I mean, if people at work see me being drived around, they will definitely consider me a big shot and that’s the least thing I want happening. I gently opened the car and got in.

“Ma’am please!”

“Jason!”, I drawled giving him a glare.

“Ma’am you don’t even know your way around here!” Please let me take you to work.

“Get in the car Jason, I’m driving your directing” I spat out and with that, I sat down and ignited the car.

~~~~~

Jason did well directing me and in no time, I was in the company.

I have too many things on my head right now and I don’t even know how to tackle them all. I packed my work file and went straight into the building.

“Good morning guys!” I tried to act normal as I sat gently on my sit.

“Good morning Brianna!” Finn gave me this wide smile then turned back to his desk.

Serena and Laurianne did same.

“Where’s Mr Gizell?” I asked.

“He should be here in the next five minutes.”Finn answered.

“Okay!” I mouthed and went back to my desk.

Right now I feel, worried, I have two hectic issues on my head right now, First was how to confirm my doubts that something isn’t right with the finance department.

And next was how to grant Diego’s wish. How do I grant his wish? When I know nothing about Tara or why he doesn’t celebrate his birthday’s.

Diego’s company is a construction company, but I know he still has another company in the US but this is his family’s business, so he takes good care of it and wouldn’t want anything bad thing happen to it.

I hissed several times just staring at the screen of my laptop.

“Brianna are you okay?” Laurianne voice jerked me.

“Huh! What happened?” I scratched my hair.

“Were have you been?”She asked and I gave a sigh. “I’m sorry I’ve got some issues ” I rubbed my forehead.

“You wanna share?”

“Nah, it’s nothing I can’t handle.”

~~~~

The day had gone by and I had finally made a decision to find out what was going in the finance department but I didn’t know how to.

It was closing time yet I didn’t get a glimpse of Diego, he didn’t come to work and I guess it’s because it’s his secluded day today.

I grabbed my files and put them in my bag, I still have a date with Diego and I would get to the bottom line of this Tara.

I walked out of the office instantly and walked straight into the car park where Jason waited patiently for me, I really didn’t have the strength to drive so I just sat at the back and let him drive me home.

The moment I got home, I dashed out and headed for my room.

My room door was slightly open so I just pushed it and met Diego on the bed. He was plainly lying on the bed doing nothing.

“Hey your back!” He smiled at me and sat down the moment I walked in.

“You didn’t show up today!”

“Well. I was searching for the best place for our dinner”

“You aren’t dressed yet?”

“I was actually waiting for you to arrive so we could have shower together” he blurted out trying his possible best to give me a straight smile.

“I’m starving Dee, I’ll have my bath first then you’ll go next because, God knows what you’ve planned today” I rolled my eyes and walked passed him.

Us having our bath together will definitely cancel today’s dinner date and I don’t want that happening.

Moments later, I was done with my bath and we were ready to leave. I was clade in a blue short gown that looked really expensive. My bump was out a bit and it looked really cute.

I can’t still believe I’m carrying a soul in me

Just as my hand carresed the little bump on my tummy, I felt Diego wrap his arm around me. He must have noticed that I was lost starring at it.

His hand gently went to my tummy as he rested his chin on my shoulders.

“How do I begin to say thank you?” He asked and I just smiled.

He eventually left my back and came facing me, I had blushes all over my cheeks and I was kinda embarrassing.

He bent slowly and took his head to my tummy placing a kiss on it.

“Happy two months in there child!” He chimed.

“Diego.. ha….” I couldn’t help but laugh it was funny at the same time cute.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.

“Shall we?” He asked and I nodded positively.

We walked out of the mansion and into the car, while we were in the car he still stayed quiet. Although he had his hand wrapped around my waist he still kept quiet and out of place like the way he had been for days.

Yes I noticed, I noticed that since we arrived here in Italy he hadn’t been himself from the first day he was moody till date he is, he tries his best to hide it, he doesn’t want me knowing cause he doesn’t want me asking him questions but hell I can see it.

“Diego, are you okay?” I asked and he just nodded.

Diego’s POV

I was doing it again.

Even when I promised myself that I won’t look back at the past and I would focus on my present and future. I still go back and think of her.

I can tell that Brianna has noticed. I first gave her cold attitude when we arrived in Italy, then I tried to convince myself that I wasn’t falling in love again by keeping Brianna away from me and giving her arms length spacing, but she some how talked me out of it and gave me another reason to want to love again another reason to keep falling for her.

Today coms back with memories of Tara and I want it to go away, I want to create new memories on this day with Brianna and our child. I want to start again, start a fresh page with Brianna but it’s not easy and I don’t think I can do it on my own.
