Chapter 27~ Going live
Tessa felt like she had stepped into an otherworldly place.
She felt like she was in a movie where she met a handsome billionaire who fell for her and took
her shopping.
Aaron bought her several designer dresses. In a famous fashion designer’s boutique, Aaron and the kids sat in the VIP area. Tessa would come out of the fitting room every now and then,
adorning different styles of dresses for her kids and Aaron to approve.
She tried on a red open-back dress with low cleavage. It was a little short and it accentuated her
curves like it was meant for her.
When she stepped out of the fitting room, Aaron’s mouth fell to the floor. His eyes flew open and
his heart rate accelerated as he took her in.
‘Damn, my babies’ Mommy is sexy as fuck,’ He thought internally, gulping to try and quench the thirst he was feeling.
He was astounded by Tessa’s dazzling beauty.
“Wow, Mommy, you look pretty!” The kids squeaked.
Tessa didn’t miss how Aaron froze for a moment as he stared at her. She noticed how his Adam’s
apple bobbed and the obvious lust that reflected in his eyes.
She blushed profusely and tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, asking, “Does it look bad?”
Aaron came to his senses when he heard her voice. He licked his bottom lip sensually and then he stared at the sales lady, instructing in a hoarse voice.
“Pack that dress,” he then cleared his throat before adding, “If you have more in different colours
and they will look as hot as this one does, pack them too.”
Tessa’s blush deepened and she hurriedly rushed back into the fitting room. The family of five spent time in the boutique while Tessa did a mini fashion show for them. The VIP area was filled with hearty giggles and a warm ambience.
Unbeknownst to them, a nosy passerby had taken a few pictures of their private moment. And a video of Tessa doing a twirl in a flared pastel pink dress in front of Aaron and the kids.
The pictures and video immediately blew up, going viral. Several media pages shared the pictures and added captions of their own.
[Poor girl hits the jackpot by giving a billionaire three kids! Is the most eligible bachelor in Ashford City no longer available?]
[Awwww, check out this video of a billionaire spoiling an ordinary girl. Just another Cinderella story.]
There were others who went overboard in order to use Aaron’s name to promote their pages.
[Fine girl traps billionaire by having his kids.] NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.
[The untold story of Aaron Wentworth. He has illegitimate kids!]
The Internet went wild as the twisted information kept being shared and reposted.
On the other side, Harry was in his study when his sister barged in.
He furrowed his eyebrows but she ignored him and put her phone on the table.
“Harry, why didn’t you tell me that bitch was back and that she has Aaron’s bastard kids?! Now look at what they are doing! They are shameless enough to move in public with their stupid kids! You promised to keep that whore away. What happened?”
Harry lowered his eyes to the phone and saw a picture that was trending online. Aaron was carrying the two kids who looked like him while Tessa carried Willa who resembled her.
Jealousy flared through him and a vein was almost popping out of his forehead. He didn’t know how to face Tessa after Delilah disturbed them. He had been busy thinking about the best explanation he would give her. Who knew she was busy playing house with Aaron?
“Harry! Don’t just sit there, do something! I can’t lose Aaron! He’s the only powerful man who deserves me at the moment. I have to have him!” Serena screamed, stomping her feet like a spoilt
brat.
However, Harry was not in the mood to indulge her as he was nursing his own heartbreak. The picture that was trending on the Internet was an eyesore.
Serena stopped ranting when she realised Harry was quiet. Her eyebrows creased as she pointed. out. “Why aren’t you saying anything? You’re not willing to get rid of her? Delilah has told me everything. She said that bitch bewitched you. If you won’t do anything about it, I will.”
When she turned to leave, she thought about something and remarked. “Oh, Delilah is downstairs
discussing your pending marriage with Mom and Dad. Mom wants you to join them.”
Harry coiled his hands into fists. A wave of fury rushed through him. Delilah was becoming a pest!
‘I guess it’s time to get rid of all obstacles stopping me from being with Tessa.’
He took out his phone and dialled a number that was saved as cobra.
It didn’t take long for the line to go through.
“Yes, boss.”
“I want you and the others to prepare. I have a job for you.”
“Ok, boss. Is it dangerous?”
Harry had an evil look on his face as he replied, “Not dangerous per se. I just need to kill two birds with one stone. I’ll send you the instructions about what I want using our usual code.”
“Then I’ll be on standby,” Cobra said.
Meanwhile, Aaron had just found out about the photos online and how there were both negative and positive comments about them.
He was back home after spending time with Tessa and the kids, only to learn that his woman was
being labelled as a gold digger
“Sit, should we get the public relations (PR) team to pull down those posts?” Enock asked through. the phone
Aaron was about to agree but a thought suddenly flashed through his mind. He might pull down the posts but he wouldn’t be able to change everyone’s perception of Tessa
ril do
“No I’ll do something about it,” he said
When he cut the call, he did something he had never done before He opened a page on social media and added a photo of Tessa’s back view as his profile picture
He had been taking many pictures of her ever since he began to pursue her again. There were no pictures of her when she left and Aaron regretted it so much
The moment people saw that the CEO of the Wentworth group had created a page, they followed him, instantly making his page grow and become larger than a celebrity’s.
A smile crossed Aaron’s lips when he noticed that Tessa had also given him a follow. When he had the right audience, he decided to go live
A lot of people were excited to see and hear his voice so they watched the live feed. Aaron began to receive a lot of stars and gifts before he could even open his mouth.
When he saw that he had drawn enough attention, he began.
“Hello, ladies and gentlemen It has come to my attention that there are speculations about the woman that was seen with me today I am hete to clear the air since some of you are posting very injuring words and I don’t wish to see my lady unhappy.
Fangirls were squealing and swooning when Aaron said those few lines. The live feed was flooded with a lot of comments
[OMG! You’re too hot. Can you be mine? Please, Mr CEO. I can cook and clean]
[Smoking hot! My ovaries are tingling right now. That deep voice, gosh…]
[Damn, I would give anything to be in that woman’s shoes right now. This is so romantic!]
Over a hundred thousand people were watching the live feed, including Tessa.
Aaron looked into the camera and continued to speak. “Let me tell you a story about this beautiful woman called Tessa
He proceeded to explain how Tessa was very hard-working and had started her own company from scratch at a young age. He explained how he had hurt her in the past and now, he was doing everything he could to win her heart.
He also mentioned how it wasn’t easy
“So you see, I’m the one trying to trap her into marriage because I love her so much. Please, help. me convince Tessa Hilton to give me a second chance. I am deeply, madly, and hopelessly in love with her.”
Aaron’s live feed blew up the internet as it kept being shared over and over again. Tessa was deemed a lucky woman to have a billionaire be so into her. Some women even shared the video with their men to show them how it’s done.
Back at Tessa’s apartment. Tessa’s bedroom was dark save for the light from her phone.
She had just watched the live video and her heart was galloping rapidly in her chest. It was the way Aaron openly confessed his feelings for her that made the butterflies in her stomach flutter wildly.
This was the first time she was experiencing such a thing and she didn’t know how to react. But one thing was for sure, her once cold and lifeless heart had begun to beat once again. Slowly but surely, the defences she had pulled up were starting to crumble little by little.
A small smile crossed her lips as she went to sleep that night. The bitterness she once used to feel when she thought about Aaron was slowly creeping away…
A few days later.
Tessa left the office to meet a client in a coffee shop nearby.
Serena who had been stalking her for days cheered when she finally got the opportunity to implement her plan.
She took out her phone and sent Aaron a voice message using a new number, telling him how she and Tessa were going to have a cup of coffee and talk. She had come up with a plan to expose Tessa in front of Aaron so that he could see her true colours.
After waiting for a while and when she was sure that Aaron would show up soon, Serena walked into the coffee shop and sat in front of Tessa who seemed to be waiting for a client.
Tessa raised her head when she noticed that she had company. She arched one of her eyebrows when she saw that it was Serena
“Can I help you?” Tessa asked calmly.
Anger surged through Serena at how calm Tessa appeared to be. She crossed her legs and asked arrogantly, “Do you know me?”
“Should I?” Tessa retorted and Serena’s blood boiled.
She sneered and glared at Tessa, saying, “Don’t try to pretend as if you don’t know me. After all, you’re just a substitute. How dare you try to act like you’re the shit? Is it because you gave birth to three bastards-”
Serena’s words were cut off when Tessa slapped her hard across the face.
“I can take whatever stones you throw at me but keep my kids out of your drama. My children are a no- go area. You mess with them, you face my wrath!”
Malice flitted through Serena’s eyes but she saw a figure enter the coffee shop through the corner of her eyes and her whole demeanor changed.
When she raised her head, her eyes were watery and hot tears were streaming down her cheeks. She looked pitiful as if Tessa had bullied her.
She grabbed her red cheek and threw Tessa an accusatory look, questioning, “Tessa, how can you slap me for no reason? I’ve never wronged you in any way. I already told you I will step away from Aaron so that the five of you can be a happy family. I already apologised for coming in between.
Chapte
-flung abe
you guys. How can you slap me so hard?”
For a moment, Tessa’s eyes flew open when Serena suddenly began to act like the victim. She was wondering why a viper had suddenly began to act like a scared kitten.
Her question was soon answered when Aaron’s voice reached her ears and his words made her
stomach twist….
“What the hell is happening here?”
