The Billionaire's Secret Lover

“ Nina”

I turned as soon as I heard my name being called. Lillian walked into my room in her white nighties glaring up at me. I don't know why she was angry. I was not doing anything wrong. I only stood at the window gazing out at the clear sky wishing for a clearer future from now onward.

“ You haven't bathed? It's six am already” Lillian called to me, opening my closet to get my dress and shoes out. 

“ Get your ass into the bathroom this minute” She screamed up at me while she stood with her hands on her waist glaring at me seeing that I wasn't making any effort to compile.

I rolled my eyes at her as I stepped away from the window and strolled to meet her where she stood in front of my wardrobe” Remind me again why you are my bridesmaids? My God! You are so bossy”

“ If I don't boss you around, who will?” Lillian smiled at me before pushing me into the bathroom and closing the door. I scoffed as I got into the bathtub to bathe.

Today was my wedding but I couldn't help feeling agitated. I hope today will go well! I hope I won't be facing Deborah! The truth is I'm still very scared of her. These past few months have been quiet without anyone hearing anything from her. I just hope she stays that way...

“ Nina Miller!!” Lillian screamed, alerted me as I walked out of the bathtub. I dried my body with the towel and stepped out of the bathroom glaring at her.

“ Why are you screaming, my na____?” But I couldn't complete my sentence as before me stood Juli with three other people who were smiling at me but that wasn't what got me gasping.

 It was Drew Lima of Glossy Beauties, she was one of the most sought-after make-up artists in the country. I have always dreamt of having make-up done by her but I couldn't afford her service because it was expensive. That's why I'm wondering why she's here and in my room.

“ Drew Lima!!” I called at her turning to look at Lillian who looked like she would faint any moment from now. I finally knew why she had screamed my name. She was shocked to see her here too!

“Yes, Miss Miller” Lima smiled as she stretched forth her hands to shake mine“ Mrs. Thompson wasn't exaggerating, you are really beautiful”

I blushed red. It was embarrassing hearing her compliment me“ Thank you.” I told her my eyes, going to Lillian who was glued to my wardrobe in shock.

“ I will be doing your makeup today if you allow me” I nodded at her as I smiled. It was a dream come true to have her do my make-up on my wedding day...

“ Please have a seat!” She motioned me over to my dressing table where her box was opened ready for work.
