Forced Marriage To The Billionaire

Chapter 45- The Gift

THIRD PERSON'S POV

I watched them from my seat as I smiled in satisfaction, I didn't expect everything to be so easy nor did I expect things to fall in place so quickly.

I had thought I'd have to fight and fight but looking at them, there was going to be no more drama, everything that was meant to be mine would become mine.

For a long time she has been in my way and I just didn't know how to eliminate her. I had thought of killing her but that would have been too suspicious, so I watched, planned and waited and it seems my efforts paid off.

She was finally out of my way.

I took a glass of champagne as I slowly drank from it, looking at the newly wedded. They have no idea that in this room, I'm the happiest about their marriage.

‘ How's the ceremony going, was there any drama?’ a message popped up on my phone screen and I couldn't help but smile,

‘ Everything went as planned, they're married––Not yet, the drama is yet to come,’ I typed back before sending the message,

‘ What are you planning? You always have something up your sleeve,’ the reply was fast, and I couldn't help but chuckle,

‘ Stop distracting me, I have to get ready for the next part,’ I responded,

‘ Okay, let's talk later,’

I put my phone back into my purse as I focused back on the wedding.

It's time for the fun part; giving gifts to the couples, only that I wouldn't be the one giving her my special gift. I wish I could be there to see their faces when they open that gift.

*********

There were so many gifts and more were still coming.

I was currently standing beside Antonio as he gave a vote of thanks to our guests for coming.

After that, we both walked out of the reception with our families escorting us to the helicopter that was waiting.

Congratulations didn't stop ringing and just when we were about to reach the helicopter, someone just dumped a box in my hands muttering a ‘ Congratulations,’ and before I could say ‘thank you’ the person walked away.

That was strange.

Antonio helped me into the helicopter before getting in as we adjusted ourselves and wore the headphones and soon enough we were flying.

I looked at the box on my lap and shook it wondering what was inside, there wasn't any sound coming from inside.

This was the only gift with me, and it's because the person just dumped it on me last minute, the other gifts would be taken care of by my mother-in-law.

“ What's that?" Antonio asked but I ignored him,

I didn't need to be nice to him anymore, nobody was watching, well the pilot but I was done acting for one night.

The helicopter landed and Antonio jumped down, leaving me to come down myself.

“ Are you fucking aware that you're the reason I'm wearing this dress at this ungodly hour instead of being in bed sleeping? So fucking help me down," I said but he just looked at me without doing anything.

The pilot was about to come help me but he glared at him and he moved back in fear.

Getting tired of his attitude I tried to get down myself but just then I stepped on my dress and was about to fall but Antonio surprisingly caught me as he held me by the waist and then dropped me on my feet.

“ Isn't it too early to be throwing yourself on me?” he asked and I scoffed as we both walked to the car that was waiting for us.

“ You would have just left me hit the floor then,” I said with an eye roll as the driver opened the door and I got in then Antonio entered after me,

" As much as I would have loved to, I don't want my parents or yours seeing you hurt yourself and blame it on me, so your plan isn't going to work,” he said,

Our parents thought we were going to have a honeymoon so they gave us one of their beach houses.

The car stopped in front of the house and we both stepped out.

I couldn't help but smile when I saw that the entire building was shining with fairy lights but my smile immediately dropped when I remembered who I was here with.

We both quietly started walking to the house but just before my hand could touch the doorknob I was carried bridal style into Antonio's arms.

“ What the fuck?!" I cursed as I looked at him with a glare trying to get free,

" Don't think too much of it, I just feel like I have my Mom's eyes watching me, it's her idea of carrying your wife into the house––what the hell is with you and that box?” he asked as he opened the door and walked in then dropped me unceremoniously.

“ Fucker,”

I walked to the loveseat as I sat down then shook the box again.

What's inside?

In curiosity, I started unwrapping it and then when I was done, I took off the cover and immediately I saw what was inside, I threw the box off me with a horrified scream.

Oh my God!
