Billionaire's wife by Ashleh Queen (finding audrey txt) 📖

Because you were working for him, Julie. You were nothing for him. He loved you as someone would fall in love with his dog…you won his love. You were not given his love? My mind shrieked making me fall into fits of hiccups.

I didn’t leave my room the next morning. And, only got out of bed when there was only an hour left for lunch with Mr. Luuca. The things I would have done in my life if dad never adopted me were innumerable.

I would have attended a community college or living in my own flat as of now no matter how small. Then, I would have time to make some friends or find the love of my life. All this time I thought I was working for my family without my knowing I was nothing for them.

But dad loved you, Julie. A thought echoed making me cry over my sink. Why me?

“This is too expensive,” I commented looking at the necklace Mr Lucca passed me.

“Not more than you…I want to buy this whole world for you.” I raised my brows at his comment.

“But,…” I tried to deny but was cut off with,

“You know we…never had a daughter in our family for as long as I can go back in the history of my family. For us, our daughters-in-law are always our daughters.” This made me press my mouth.

“Thank you, I…I want to tell you something,” I closed the box and smiled,

“Tell me all,…” He replied,

“I wasn’t Mr Cole’s real daughter as I have previously mentioned. I am his adopted daughter. I…only get to know this from Rachael last night…I think it is convenient that you know this too,”

“Have you ever felt like he treated you differently?” Well, technically the answer was yes because he did adopt for his store or to take care of his home but I was so blind all this time that I never felt I was being used.

“No…”

“Then, what’s the problem? As far as I know you…you should be very…forgiving for this matter and even feel blessed to have a real family!”

I blinked at Mr. Lucca in surprise.

“I am no God,”

“But…a family is a family…you are here thinking about what your life could have been? Let me give you a reality check you could have turned into a drug addict or be a single mother…I mean your mom would have been someone like this.” I looked at Mr. Lucca with utter shock.

“Don’t look at me like this. You should always be indebted to your family. Go home and don’t forget you have us now too. What else you want!”

Maybe liberty to do whatever I want to do with my life? I shrieked in my mind but only sat there receiving how I always should be thankful for what I get.

“Mr. Lucca…you have visitors,” I looked at David but looked away instantly. I knew I had no right to lead him in anymore. I was…I was someone's promise now.

“I think you should go back and enjoy this leftover time with your family…” Mr. Lucca told me.

On the way back home I really wonder who my mom would be. For the last many years I was convinced that my mom was someone who wanted to get rid of me but at this stage, I didn’t want to know anymore. Sometimes not knowing is a blessing.

Getting back home I was welcomed with dinner but I told them how I am full and can’t join them. In the night, Rachael came into my room. “Are you regretting taking this decision for us?” She asked and I looked at her blankly.

“No…Rachael. Why I would regret it? Oh, you haven’t met him. If you had met him I am sure you wouldn’t be asking this question. I am fine, Rachael.” I offered her a smile knowing the woman in front of me didn’t deserve to know what I feel anymore.

In an hour, I end up calling my friends and telling them about my wedding because why not? I have learned my lessons. No one is anyone's. We just jump from a job to another job. Of course, my friends were surprised but I sent them the venue that was Mr. Lucca’s mansion. I do have some spare invitation cards and I sent them via courier.

The big day finally arrived. I spent the morning zooming on a picture dad and I clicked on his truck. I loved how genuinely I was smiling here. “Thank you,” I whispered.

Mia and I had a kind of connection as of now. I could trust her for my look while she kept telling me I don’t need any much makeup as I already had great skin. I knew she was only saying for the sake of my confidence because the number of layers she plastered on my face told another story. Sarah was with me all the time because she wanted to get prepare too and Mia was doing Sarah’s hair when I found Katelyn coming in with Cecelia.

“You are looking amazing?” Cecelia commented while Katelyn came to give me a side hug.

“Thank you for coming,”

“No…thank you for inviting,”

“Well…we only have five minutes left girl.” Mia excused my friends and I stood up for Mia to get my veil ahead.

“But…groom is not here yet,” Katelyn said making me look at her while an unknown worry settled in me.
