The Billionaire's Unwanted Bride

Chapter 65

Anna's POV

I have two fathers? How is that even possible? How can I have two fathers? One of them has to be my

biological father.

I couldn't wait for the next day to get my answers so I went out to the car after leaving Aidan in his

room. I am fucking pissed at him. I was already in my pajamas when he arrived and I didn't bother to

go change before coming here. Mother is in a straight skirt with a maroon peplum top.

I sit with numbness staring at her but her sob jerks me out of my reverie. A tear trickles down her eyes

and I find myself unable to ask her why I have two fathers.

My head is blank and I can't seem to find an answer to the question myself. Instead of answers, more

questions were arising.

Is it possible for two men to father a child? Was my mother cheating on my father? Was she dishonest

with him? How did she end up with two men in her life?

I am looking into space with more questions coming up, making it difficult for me to reach any

conclusion. I believe my mother is the only me who can shed more light on the issue of my father.

"The man you've always known as your father isn't your biological father", she begins and I shift my

gaze back to her.

"But I wish and I have always wished he is", she stares at me.

"You loved him more than you loved my father?" I peer at her with curiosity. It is obvious she does. Now

I am getting answers. The man who died was not my father but the man she loved.

She looks away. "Your father didn't accept you as his child when I became pregnant. His parents

wanted us to be married and they liked me. He didn't love me..... "

"Did you love him?" I cut her short.

"I used to." She affirms. Then she continues. "His father threatened to disown him if he didn't accept

me. He had no choice but to marry me. He knew he would go broke for life if his father disowns him.

The marriage was a bitter one and a week before you arrived, he left."

He left? Why?

She use her hand to wipe her tears. "I didn't want to tell his parents about his disappearance until you

came to the world. I went into labor and no one was around to help me to the hospital. I called his

mother and she came running to my rescue. They asked of him and I had to tell them the truth. They

gave me their support and we were patiently waiting for his arrival but he never came back. After a

year, his parents asked me to go back to the house, I knew they were tired of me. The fact that I didn't

give birth to a male like their expectation was also a factor. I left for home but I couldn't sleep. The

memories of how he usually abused me kept coming and I decided to sell the house out. I felt

unwanted so I left the town for somewhere, that was how I met Fred, your second father", she smiles

sadly at the last statement.

"He accepted us with open arms and took us in. We began to live together and he loved you like his

own", another tear drops from her eyes before she can wipe it.

"How old was I when you met Fred?"

"A year and half", she replies.

"What if something had happened to my father?" I ask her. I feel she wasn't patient enough.

Someone disappeared with no traces and you just assumed he left you? Why didn't she look for him?

I no longer care about the second man who took care of me, I am bothered about my father's sudden

disappearance.

I am beginning to see reasons why I should no longer stay with Aidan. My mother wasn't patient with

my father, so I see no reason why I should be patient with my so-called husband.

"Why didn't you wait for him to come back and explain himself before moving on? You moved on too

soon. You should have waited....."

"I wasn't patient enough? Do you have any idea what I went through?"

"I have no idea, the same way you have no idea what I am going through too", I retort back. She nods

and keeps quiet. I am not done talking to her, I want to know everything.

"Did you try to find him?" She laughs shortly.

"You turned to a judge overnight, Anna. I can't believe this is you. You are here judging me without Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

knowing who the hell your father is and how stupid he was. Why did he have sex with me when he

knew he didn't Ioved me? He was in love with someone else all along and that was who he ran to after

leaving us", she shout in frustration.

I can't believe what she is saying. Father left her for another woman while another man was taking care

of his responsibilities.

"What good will finding him do for you and me? Do you think I didn't try? Do you think I just gave up

just like that? Even when Fred proposed marriage to me, I didn't accept him because I felt your father

was going to come back to me when he realized how good of a woman and mother I am. I took great

care of you because I wanted him to be proud when he sees you but he didn't come back. He never

did. Do you still want to blame me?!"

I can't believe my mother had gone through all of this. She waited for my father while in another man's

house who was taking responsibility for my father's foolishness.

"Do you even know how hard it was for me? Do you know what I went through? Do you know how he

abused, humiliated me? You don't, so you have no right to judge me. My love for him turned to hatred

the very day he denied you."

He denied me? I thought he never came back. My heartbeat increased.

"He came back?" I ask with guilt.

"We met", she declares with a low tone. "Accidentally. I took you to a park just so we can have fun. It

was getting late and Fred already called to tell me he was back from work but he didn't meet us at

home. That was how I stumbled upon him and his bride with a baby boy. He asked his wife to excuse

us and she did. He even introduced me to her as a long-time friend. I wasn't surprised because I knew

she was the one he loved. When I told him you were his child, he denied it, even when everything

about you speaks otherwise. He accused me of cheating, he said he knew I was dating a man and he

was sure the man was responsible for my pregnancy and not him. He even said he already told his

parents. He lied to them so they can consider him back. He denied us just to get his inheritance", her

body begins to vibrate suddenly and I feel my face getting wet. It is as if my childhood memories have

been wiped off, until today. I can see the faces of two men but I don't know who is real and who is fake.

Now I know my father is a fake while the man my mother later fell in love with was the real one. He

ought to be my father but destiny had something else in stock for us, especially for me.

Where is he then? Where is the man who accepted me as his child despite everything? Why isn't he

here with us anymore? Did he leave too, just like my biological father? Is he going to come back to us

soon?

"Where is the father? I mean Fred", I say in between sobs. She raises her head to look at me, with

tears streaming down her eyes.

"I have no regrets, Anna except one. The fact that I did not get married to him till his death is my only

regret. He asked me to be his wife but I didn't answer him. He loved me but I didn't realize I was also in

love with him until the day he left the world. He took care of us, showed us immense love, he adored

you but death took him away. When he died, my world crumbled and I began to face more trials of life. I

wouldn't be here if he was still alive, Anna."

I am controlling myself from bursting into tears. "He is dead?"

Now I realize my father is truly dead. I have always thought he was dead all along until my mother

confessed that he was alive but now I don't want to believe that I have a father alive.

My real father is dead. It feels like someone is poking my heart with a string and after a while of heavy

breathing, I begin to feel the piercing of my heart and I can hear it breaking into pieces.

"Yes, Anna. Your real father is dead", she announces and we begin to cry loudly together in pain,

sorrow, and regrets.
