THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNEXPECTED WIFE - CHAPTER 47&48

༆TURN OF EVENT༆
_______________

Ava had just finished taking her bath when Zee texted her, her phone pinged.

“Hey, what’s up?”

“I’m good. Just bored” She texted back. Aurelio actually went back to work after making sure Nanny Zoey was alright.

“Where’s your darling husband? Can’t he cheer you up?” Zee replied.

“Come on Zee” She typed.

“Fine, so how about you come to my place. Let’s have some fun” Zee offered as she read the message. Ava didn’t reply and drop her phone, a smile on her face.

After dressing up in a simple flare gown, she retreated down the stairs where Carlos was talking to someone at the door.

“Carlos?” She called, trudging to the door.

“Oh, Ava” Carlos replied.

A young blonde girl was at the door, holding two design boxes package with a charming smile on her face as she gawked at Ava.

“Ma’am Ava” She beamed and Ava was astonished.

“Glory?” She guessed and Carlos rolled his eyes, seeing how Glory beamed, almost pushing him away as she came through.

“What brought you here?” Ava inquired.

“Oh, Sir Aurelio asked me to give you this. I don’t know what’s inside, but it seems like a dress and heels” Glory answered, handling her the package.

Ava stared down at it, not believing her ears. Did Aurelio actually send her this stuffs?

Glancing back at Glory, she forced a smile. “Thanks Glory. I’ll check it out”

“Yeah, you should. To be honest, I’ve never seen my Boss this way with a woman before. He never sends this kind of stuff especially to a woman, but I guess because you’re his wife” Glory blurted and Ava blinked, taken aback by her words. She looked like the talkative type.

“Okay, that’s enough, Glory. You have to get going, or they might lay you off from your job” Carlos interjected, showing her the door.

“Cut the crap! I’ll leave if I’d like to. Mind your business, Carlos” She snapped at him. Carlos gritted, scratching his forehead as he tried to hold back himself.

He never gets on good terms with her as well.

“You’re so beautiful in person, Ma’am Ava” Glory gushed, giving a toothy smile and Ava chuckled.

“In person? You’ve seen me before”

“Glory, get your @zz out of here now!” Carlos thundered this time, and before Glory could turn, he started dragging her away, causing Ava to laugh out.

“Ma’am Ava!!!!” Glory whined like a baby as Carlos pulled out.

“Go back to work and stop gossiping! Jeez, this woman!.” He fired at her and slammed the door shut, facing Ava again.

“You never get on good terms with her?” She muttered and he rolled his eyes. “Obviously.” He replied, and she snickered, watching him walk away.

Oh gawd, what just happened?

Again, she glanced at the two boxes on her hands, creasing her brows as she wondered what present was inside this time. Lifting her legs, she trudged upstairs to her room and started unboxing the packages.

True to Glory’s words, it was a gown.. not just any gown, more like velvet dinner-straps gown, that reveals the cleavages, spaghetti stripes along the sides while the heels were nude, adding elegance to the dress.

Instantly, her cheeks turned red as an apple, her heart suddenly racing as she stared at the dress. It was so beautiful! Gosh, is this how rich people enjoy luxurious things?

She was sure this dress cost worth of thousands and millions.

Her phone pinged again, a message from Aurelio this time.

💬 “You love the packages I sent to you?” The message read in Aurelio’s voice.

She bit her lips and replied. 💬“Yes. What’s it for?”

💬“Don’t tell me you forgot. The business event is coming up tonight” Aurelio texted her and her eyes widened. What?! So soon?!

💬 “I totally forgot”

💬“You agreed to be my dare, so I’m taking you tonight. You better love the dress” Aurelio texted, and a smile formed on her lips.

💬“Sure”

Sighing softly, she dropped her phone on the dressing table. Zee had invited her to join her at her place and she ignored her, staying around was boring to her with no one around. She missed Zee, not only her, she missed others.. surprisingly, her family.

The thoughts of them alone made her want to tear up, cry her eyes out anytime she remembers her past with them. They couldn’t even call her or ask of her one day.

‘Are they really my family?’ She thought inwardly.

Coaxing herself to forget about them, she picked up her silver purse, proceeding out of her room.

“Daniel hasn’t been picking my call for the past few days now!” Valerie complained about the umpteenth time.

“C’mon, he will call you. He might be busy” Alyssa groaned, taking another sip from her whiskey. They were actually in a bar.

Valerie stared at her defiantly for a while. “And why are you sounding like you know him more than I do?” She retorted.

“What? Did I say anything wrong? I was just trying to calm you down from thinking about him” Alyssa said with a shrug and Valerie gave a resignation sigh.

“I wonder what he is doing now”

“Why do you look worried? Thought you were only using him for your personal gains” Alyssa slurred.

“Yes, and that’s why I’m worried that he might be cheating on me!” Valerie snapped against the loud music booming everywhere and Alyssa almost choked on her drink.

“Cheat on you?” She repeated, Valerie gave a small nod, eyeing her for a minute and she rolled her eyes.

“He is just doing something else. He won’t cheat on you when you’re the one cheating” Alyssa laughed and Valerie frowned.

“You aren’t helping, Lyssa!”

Alyssa parted her lips to reply to her when someone suddenly texted her phone, jolting her to glance at it.. it was from Daniel, again.

Instantly, her heart skipped “I need to see you. Now” The message read.

“Are you okay? Your countenance changed” Valerie stretched her neck to glance at the text she got, but she stood up hastily.

“Huh?”

“Um, I need to leave now, Val. See you, I’ll call you soon” She croaked, and rushed out of the bar before Valerie could stop her.

“She’s acting weird” She mumbled under her breath, drinking from her glass of champagne.

___

This time, Daniel had lured Alyssa to a restaurant since he demanded to see her.

A cab pulled over in front of the restaurant and Alyssa came out, walking straight inside as her eyes wandered around till she saw Daniel.

“Hi” She cleared her throat, making him to look up at her. “Lyssa” He called, gesturing her to have a sit opposite him.

“Is anything the matter? You texted me…” She trailed off, narrowing her eyes at him. Daniel heaved a sigh, clasping his hands together as he muttered.

“There’s an event tonight, I had no interest in going, but my Dad insisted, and I think Aurelio will be there as well. I was thinking if you would go with me as a date”

Alyssa first took a glass of water, gulping it all down as she stared back at him, meeting his hazel eyes.

“You want me to be your date???”

Unknown to them, Zee works in the same restaurant. She was just serving a customer’s order that was behind them when her eyes shifted to Alyssa.

“Alyssa?” She mumbled inwardly, trudging away from the spot. Her eyes widened when she fully recognized her.

“Isn’t that Ava’s twin?” She pondered, bringing out her phone hastily to call Ava. She had asked Ava to come here since she claimed to bored and now her sister was here?? It would be chaos if they meet.

Her eyes widened more when both the stood up, already heading for the entrance door. They were done conversing.

“Ava?” She called the moment Ava picked up.

“Anything the matter, Zee? I’m already heading to the restaurant you work…” Ava trailed from the receiver on the phone. Truly, she was right in front of the restaurant, her other hand stretched to pull the door open when Daniel opened it first, causing them to collide.

“Oh, I’m so…” The rest of her words hanged in her throat when she beheld Daniel with her sister.. Alyssa.

Alyssa’s eyes widened, the same with Ava.

“Ava?” Daniel called, but she was busy taking a thorough look at Alyssa who looked unbothered.

“Get out of the way, bitçh” Alyssa snapped, pushing her out of the way and as a result, Ava staggered yo the side. What was her sister doing with him?

“Alyssa! Don’t tell me it’s what I’m thinking?!” She flared up, prompting Alyssa to stop in her tracks with Daniel.

“What you’re thinking? Do you think I care about what you’re thinking?” She retorted, flaunting her hair boldly, and Ava scoffed. This girl never changes.

“Get a good grip, I’m not competing with you” Ava replied and she fumed.

“Let’s go, Daniel. This girl is mad!” She snarled in return, turning her back to walk away.

“You don’t know what you’re doing, Alyssa. You’re getting yourself in more risk because of your bad attitude. Daniel isn’t who he claims to be, so I suggest…”

“f-__-king shut up with your suggestions!” She thundered angrily, purposely walking away this time.

Ava’s eyes finally met with Daniel who returned with a mischievous smile before running after Alyssa.

“What are those two planning?” She thought before walking in. Zee was serving another customer when she came in.

“You see my sister here?” She asked Zee knowingly. “Yes, I did, that’s why I tried to stop you from coming here, but you’re here already” Zee replied.

“Isn’t that Aurelio’s wife?”

“Heard they aren’t really married”

“That’s not true, the bloggers never lie. They are married”

“Gosh, she looks so beautiful”

“What’s her name?”

Ava paused, feeling uncomfortable with the side talks and murmurs of the workers and customers around . Is this how it feels to be a billionaire’s wife?

“Come on, let’s get out of here” Zee uttered when she noticed they were no near shutting their mouth, so she pulled her away from there.

___

Fortunately, it’s a mask event party where many prominent businessmen would get to meet their fellows while some sign great deals, some meet with the country’s president.

Aurelio was seen, dressed in a black vintage suit, waiting outside the door of Ava’s room. It was time for the event after such a long day.

“Ava, aren’t you done?” He besought, knocking on the door for the fifth time.

“Just give a sec!” She hollered from inside.

“Jeez, why do ladies take so long to dress” He groaned, dipping his hands into his pocket, a few strands of his jet black hair brushing to the side of his face adding to his attractive looks.

The door suddenly squeaked open, revealing Ava in the elegant dress and behold, Aurelio’s could swear his jaw dropped, and his insides stiffened when he saw her.

She looks so f-__-king d@mn beautiful.

“Is this my wife?” He muttered with a wow and Ava blushed. Her dress swept the floor gloriously, the make-up on her face giving her the rich lady’s taste plus her silver plus and nude heels. Her hair styled in a pompous way that tends to make anyone stare at her multiple times.

She was so perfect.

“Of course, I am”

He drew her close to him before she could blink, causing her to gasp slowly as their eyes met. They were an inch close, feeling each other’s breath on their faces, they could hear the sounds of their heartbeats.

“You’re so f-__-king beautiful, wifey” He whispered, leaning to pick up her hands as he placed feverish kisses on them and chills wracked her spine.

“Shall we?” He asked in a low tone, referring to the stairs, and she nodded as he took her, linking her hand on his arm as he led the way.

“Wow!” Nanny Zoey was awed by her as they descended the stairs. She could see the small smile on Aurelio’s face, and nothing was more soothing than that to her.

“Finally,” She mumbled to herself.

___

The event was taking place in the sixth-biggest skyscraper hall in Australia, it’s one known to be the biggest where multiple business meetings are held.

Guests could be seen trooping in every passing minute. It was an international business event, the Americans could be seen, Canadians, Austrians, and the rest.

Whenever they get to the entrance door, they’d greet familiarize faces through a wave and a smile that couldn’t be seen clearly due to the masks on their faces.

The hall was probably the biggest, engulfed and filled with lots of new and old faces. Tables and chairs circled every spot with drinks and empty white plates with hyacinth and rose hovering around. A huge projector screen in the middle of what looked like a stage.

The party was beginning to start, different businessmen and women were starting to arrive.

Daniel’s car screeched to a stop in front of the skyscraper hotel where different guards lined at every angle, a huge water fountain in the middle.

Across the other door, someone alighted the car, her heels shining like a glamour and so attractive..her dress screamed it all, elegant, alluring, segzy and all, her purple mask added to it.

Alyssa Addams.

Daniel came out from the driver’s seat with a slight frown on his face, but one would hardly see it because he was putting on a mask.

“Let’s get this event rolling” Alyssa grinned through the mask, and he smirked, taking her hand like his date as they proceeded into the building.

Different cars arrived aw well. Next, a white Range Rover was spotted near the water fountain and Aurelio came out first, fixing his tie properly.

Gosh, he looks too handsome to be real.

Ava came out next, her curvy shape standing out prominently. One’s eyes wouldn’t even be on her dress but her hip, how curvy and segzy they are including her @zz.

Aurelio stylishly took his lower lip in, fighting the urge not to slam her to the headlights, get rid of her black mask, and kiss the hell out of her.

“Shall we?” He whispered again.

“Obviously” She giggled as they linked hands together like a cute couple, proceeding inside.

Another car pulled up, a black SUV this time, as an average height man alighted with his wife. He had a stern look on, covering his face with a mask and so does his wife.. the vice president.

“Let’s go in, Hun” His wife swung her hands on his, and he nodded once, walking together with her.

Next was Godfather Marcelo’s car which stopped someone before the fountain. He forged the windows of his car up, dialing someone’s line.

“Are you ready for tonight?” Came his Hispanic voice.

“Yes,” Someone said from the receiver.

His lips curled into a wicked grin as he brushed the mask hovering on his head down his face.

“Tonight is going to be a long night, Mr. President” He muttered, devilishly.
