His Unsought Bride

Chapter Nine

"You know how family can be pressuring at times." I tried to reason.

"Then why do I have to be the victim!"

"Victim?! You say it as if it is a bad thing to be with me." I frown getting angry

"Well I don't see anything good about being with you." I keep quiet after she says that, shocked by her outburst. Nothing good about being with me? That's the first time someone said that to me.

"Listen here, I have so many good things about me!"

"Well what are they?" Lillian asks flailing her arms at me.

"For one, I am rich," I raise one finger to indicate it "and secondly," I raise a second finger "I am good looking."

"is that it?!" she asked raising her eyebrows at me.

"and thirdly..." I raise the third finger but my mind went blank, I keep quiet at a loss for words, what should be my third quality? Lillian raises a brow at me

"That's what I thought." she smiled victoriously and I felt vulnerable like I just failed a test, I felt like being rich and handsome was an insult.

"I'm going back inside."

"Suit yourself." I said as I watch her walk back into the house.

Being a handsome rich guy was something I was proud of myself over for so long and that sometimes made me arrogant, but now with Lillian, being rich and handsome didn't seem enough, I actually thought I had it all.

I heave a sigh of relief before getting back inside the house, I enter to find every one seated, ready to have dinner.

"Where have you been? Come let's get you a seat." Aunt Veronica asks before pulling me to a table.

"Sit here." she says and quickly leaves to attend to her other guests.

"I see you decided to grace us with your richness and handsomeness" Lillian said beside me and I turned to her with a glare but she just smiles at me and turns away, that annoying smile!

Soon the food arrived and we ate and now it is time to go home, we all say our goodbyes to the host and went outside.

Lillian's POV

It was finally time to go home, not that the dinner was boring or anything, I especially enjoyed glancing at an annoyed William who stabbed his food angrily like it was the food that offended him.

"Wills, what about Lillian!" Emily, who is stood beside me about to enter her parents car said loudly to her brother who seemed in a hurry to get to his car and leave without me, he stopped mid trek before turning to look at us, with a smile that didn't reach his eyes.

"Are you suggesting I would leave Lillian behind?" William says faking hurt

"Right, sorry." Emily turns to look at me and I knew she was expecting I follow her brother to his car.

I follow him to his car and like the gentleman he pretends to be, opens the car door for me.

"Thanks." I smile at him which was returned with a glare from him, he slams the door shut before walking over to his side and soon started driving.

"You are driving too fast!" I tell him but he ignores and kept speeding we were on the road but William decided to speed, driving recklessly on the road.

"Wills you are going to get us arrested if you keep up this pace!"

Suddenly he stepped in the break and the car stopped dangerously, I lurched forward but my seat belt kept me in place, that doesn't mean it didn't hurt though.

"Hey watch it!"

"You are not allowed to call me that!" he turns to me angrily and I keep mute seeing how angry he looked.

He starts the car again but this time, he lowered the speed. We arrived home and I went straight to bed, I take my phone out and dial my parents, I call them every day at night.

William's POV

I changed into pyjamas and laid on my bed, 20 minutes later after tossing and turning on the bed, I take my phone and dial his number.

"why are you calling this night?" James asked me as soon as he answered the call.

"When did I calling you at night become a problem? It is not even that late." James and I usually call each other any time of the day.

"You are with someone." I said as I hear some shuffling in the background.

"It's Jane," James said.

"wait hold on a few seconds" he tells me, I wish I didn't have to bother him when he is with his fiancée but I really need to ask him this question.

"Wills?"

"Yeah I'm still there."

"So what's up?" he asked.

"I want to ask you a question."

"Shoot."

I sigh before asking him

"What do women want in a man?"

He was quite for a second before he burst out laughing.

"Hey what's funny?" I asked him feeling aggravated.

"Hello! Pplease who is this? Who am I talking to?" James asks in between fits of laughter.

"Your father!" I tell him before cutting the call off, James called two more times but I didn't pick and when he called the third time I switched off my phone and tossed it aside.

"Very annoying sets of people!" I hiss before going to sleep.

Third person POV

Every one new better than to mess up with William at work, especially when he is hungry and angry. William kept barking orders when he arrived at work which made all the works scurrying around trying not to become a victim of an angry Williams.

"What is it?" Williams barked at his secretary who just came in, she had knocked of course, and he had said to come in.

"ssir... I.. I brought your coffee" she stammered.

William took the coffee from her and took a sip before spitting it out.

"Who told you to put sugar in it!" he says as he slams the mug of coffee on his desk.

"Sir, but you said..."

"Take this out of my sight..." he said and she takes the mug.

"And call someone to clean up this mess." he tells the secretary who was already at the door wanting to leave as quickly as possible.

A few minutes later, someone opened the door and came in without knocking, William's head was down as he went through some papers on his desk.

"How dare you...." William shut his mouth as he looked up and saw who it was.
