The Unwanted Bride (The Billionaire's Bride Book 1) (completed) ✔️

18. Meeting Someone New

Jensen stands next to me while I pull out my Grandparents Will from my t-shirt draw. I give him the envelope and he pulls the documents out. He goes through the documents carefully. He shakes his head. "Your parents are pulling your inheritance apart, Joy. We need to stop them. They have no right to do this to you."

I look at the clock on the wall. "I don't have time to deal with this right now. I need to get ready for class. My last class finishes at 2pm, then I'm going to the Lawyers. After I finish there I might go to my parents place."

He shakes his head. "I don't want you to go near them, alone. I'll leave work at four and you can meet me at our place and then we'll confront them together."

I place my hands on his face. "I love you, Jensen." I kiss him. He places his arms on my waist and he pulls me flush against him. I wrap my around his neck and deepen the kiss. He lifts me up by the bottom and I wrap my legs around him. He carries me to the bed. He drops me on the bed and I look into his blue eyes.

I need to leave now.

I push him away. "We can finish this later." I climb off the bed and run to the kitchen. I pull a breakfast bar out of the cupboard. I pack some fruit into my bag. I open the fridge and pull out an orange juice popper.

Jensen looks at the stuff in my hand. "Please, don't tell me that's all you're going to eat?"

I look at him. "I don't have time to cook anything. Besides, I have fruit in my bag. If I still feel hungry I'll get something from the café."

Jensen moves over to the cupboard and he pulls out a bag of crackers. He also gives me a bottle of water. "If you start to feel queasy have this."

I take the stuff from him and I place it in my bag. I kiss him on the cheek and walk over to the door. "I'll see you later, Jensen."

He waves at me. "Bye."

I exit the house and walk over to the garage. I open the door and climb into my car. I put the key into the ignition and start the car. I pull the car out of the garage. I beep the horn before I drive away. I look in the rear view mirror and I see Jensen standing on the porch. I pull the car onto the road and drive to the University.

At the University I keep a look-out for a parking spot. Close to the front I see a car reverse out of the parking spot. I wait for the car to pull away before I pull my car into the parking spot. I climb out of the car. I press the alarm.

Kim walks over to me with another girl. She looks at me. "Hey, Joy. I want you to meet, Naomi. Naomi this is Joy."

I wave. "Hey."

Naomi smiles. "Hey," she looks behind me at the car. She points to it. "Do you own the car?"

I look at the ground. "Yes and no. The car is my husband's. He gave it to me. He knew I needed a way to get to school while he worked."

Naomi walks over to the car and she touches it. She whistles. "You must have a rich husband. But, there's not that many rich bachelor's out there. Which one is your husband?"

I cross my arms. "I'm not going to tell you. But, I won't mind you going through the list of guys you think that I am married to."

She rubs her hands together. She looks me up and down. "Alright, there's Matthew Jacob, but, he's like 35 years old. So, I'll cross him out. There's Luca Vincent." She shakes her head. "I heard he's getting back together with his former flame." She smirks. "I got it. Jensen McKellar. He seems to be close to your age and you have dark hair, dark eyes and tanned those are the three features he likes in a woman."

My mouth drops.

How the hell did she do that?

Naomi pulls open a magazine and shows me a picture. It's of Jensen and I in Sydney and we were smiling.

I laugh. "You cheated. You knew who I was all along. Do you want an autograph for that picture or do you really want to get to know me."

She throws her arm around my shoulder. "I want the autograph. I also want to be friends with you, Joy McKellar. I have a question for you though?" I nod. She continues. "What is your Maiden name? I've tried to research you and nothing comes up of you before you became Mrs McKellar."

I shrug her arm off me. "Naomi, my life before I became Mrs McKellar was shit. That is something I don't want dredged up. So, can you kindly leave it the fuck alone?"

She nod. "I'm sorry. I didn't know your past was bad. I just wanted to know a little more about. Looks like I'll have to settle for the old fashioned way."

You can't learn everything about someone the internet. Sometimes, it's to talk to people face to face instead of through a computer.

I pull out my tablet and type her name into Google. I find a picture of her and I read through everything about her. I tap Naomi on the shoulder and she turns to me. "Do you really want everyone to believe all this stuff about you?"

She takes the tablet from me and he eyes widen. She shakes her head. "I'm not that girl anymore. That is something I was hoping to avoid when I started here."

I hug her. "Your secrets are safe with me. Do you see why I don't want you to research me?"

Naomi looks at me. "How did you come across all that information without knowing my last name?"

I show her the camera. "All I need to do is take picture of someone and type there name into and all the information I need comes up."

Her mouth drops. "How did you come across that?"

"I created it myself. So, you want to know a little about me?" she nods. "Well, I'm an only child to parents that never wanted me. They told me every day how I was a mistake and that they hate me. One day I was locked in my room and I pulled out the tablet that Jensen's Grandfather gave me. I used an app and created it. I also put something in it to wipe every picture of me off any device; in case someone wanted to pry into my life."

Kim looks at me. "Can you wipe things off the internet?"

I shake my head. "Everything you write on the internet stays there for good. If you wiped off your computer it is deleted, but, it's not completely gone. So, remember that the next time you post something on the net.
