Dimitri Pov :
"Dimitri, your mother is on line 3" James come to my office and inform me.
I Sighed, I know that I can't hide from her anymore. So I just nod my head to him and pick it the phone. I answer after James close the door and leave me.
'Hello mother'
'Finally..' She sighed 'I almost think that my son is running away and he doesn't remember having a family who care for him” she said sarcastic.
Well.. It's not new, So I know how to handle her sarcastic self.
'Yes, I'm busy right now'
She scoffed 'Don't use that lame excuse to me. When you said that you would leave after the wedding, I never thought that you'll leave immediately. You should be ashamed to your wife'
The wife that I never wanted she means...
'Please, I'm busy mother. Don't you've have done enough? Don't disturb me and my life anymore, before I lose my temper' I threatened her.
She pause for a second, absorbed by my word. I know that my anger is something that she wouldn't like to see.
'Fine, do whatever you want. I just hope you will give her a chance, She's amazing!' She said before she hung up the phone.
"No goodbye?" I talked to the phone and put it back.
Knock.. Knock..
"Yes, James. Come in"
Peeking at the door "Are you done?" I nod to him And he come inside "That's fast. I thought you'll had at least an hour in arguing to her" He smirked and take a seat. He handed me the folder in his hand.
I take it and answer him "She know not messed with me, this time" I said and open the folder "So, what do we have here?"
He start explaining the new engagement letter that we had with the new clients. We discussed it for almost 4 hours.
Here I am, London, to finish my work. After 2 tortured days in France, I decided that I need to check my office here, something to keep my mind off to the present dilemma and my life in New York, or for this matter, my wife, Bianca.
Jayden and Matthew tried to call and invite me to another party. But, I can't find myself to go, i suddenly feel disgusted to feel another women touch.
I groaned and stroke my hair frustrated. Why am I feeling like this?
"Dimitri?"
I raise my head and seeing James look at me, he wave his hand in front of my face, try to get me back from my own world.
I sighed and close my eyes and open it slowly "Sorry, James. I can't concentrate" I tell him the truth.
He nod and smile, understanding what I'm feeling right now. "I never saw you like this before, Dimitri" He speak and collect the paper and put it back in the folder. "I guess whatever bothering you is in New York"
I gave him my what-the-hell look. He just grinned and shrugged his shoulder before leaving me again.
I put my chin on my hands and think. What’s really happening to me these days?
Why I kept thinking about Bianca?!
Why I can’t get her out of my mind?
Honestly on our wedding day, I never take one peek of her. I know her wedding dress is beautiful, knowing my mother taste she will pick the best. But, I can't seem to find myself to glance at her afraid with what I saw behind it, terrified that the woman I married is not beautiful. she's just lucky for having Joanne as her mother. Joanne, my Mom’s bestfriend is very beautiful but it seems her daughter didn’t inherit it.
I decided that I can’t keep on running or avoiding her might as well face her now. And stop acting like a coward right now. I picked up the phone and call James.
"We're leaving immediately, prepare everything back to New York" I said and hung up without waiting for his response.
I guess I should've done this long ago.
*********
"Master Dimitri, I don't know you're coming back" Higson, my old servant whose been working with our family since my father's is only 10 years old. Now he's here to take care of my mansion. He open the door and follow me to the living room with James behind me, who order my housemaid to bring my suitcase upstairs.
When I came here, I notice there's a Black BMW car parked in the garage that I know belong to Alicia. I don't know why she's here, since she know I wasn't here.
"Alicia’s here?" I sighed and throw myself to the couch.
He take a drink and gave it to me "Yes, sir. She's in the garden"
I nodded "I think I should go and find her"
I don't know why she's here, but I guess she's just feeling bored again and she want to go here and look something to whilst her boredom. I never realized or remember that perhaps she's here to visit my wife.
I just thought that Bianca will stay in my parents mansion since I wasn't here.
I gulp my drink before get up and walk to the garden. I know she always find it fun to plants and gardening but since I'm a man and hate anyone touching it, she never mentioned it anymore.
When I walked, I notice there something different here. I saw a flowers in the middle of the desk and in the corner. I don't know Higson like that things.
I go to the back to where my garden and shocked when I realize it's changed. Alicia did have a great job for doing this by herself. When I left there’s weeds everywhere, but now it's clean and there a new plot that I think planted with seeds. There also no dries leaves or died plants which I saw before. This place looks nice and warm.
"Alicia?" I called my niece name, she's nowhere to found.
I walk to the center that I know there's a gazebos with bench and with this whole clean new place, it will be good to sit on it.
I was shocked when I saw there is no Alicia around, but a beautiful girl. She was looking down to her lap, and I noticed that she's doing something. She look serious and didn't hear me or notice me walk closer to her.
I lock my eye on her. God, she's really beautiful. With her long brown hair which unravel because she was looking down, but I can see her lips which smile and I can imagine how's it tasted.
She's wearing a white summer dress with florals and she looks like an angel.
Yes, an angel.
I want to see her eyes, I believe it was as beautiful as her face.
Look up, Angel..
Look at me..
But, she seems not to noticed me and keep doing her work. I decided to open my mouth and get her attention.
"May I know what a beautiful girl like you doing here?" I said seductively and she gasped before raised her head.
I was more stunned when I saw her face. I never imagined that she's that beautiful.
Her round face, her green eyes and her lips. God, I the urge to kiss her senseless.
I realize that she just kept staring at me and didn't said anything.
"Did you lost your voice?" I teased and smirked, happy that I affect her like she does affect me.
"Dimitri?" She asked. Oh God, even her voice is like an angel, it soft and sweet.
I nodded and keep my eyes on her, afraid if I blinked, she'll leave me and headed to the heaven "The one and only" I answer her, my voice sound hoarse, and I cleared my throat before I speak again.
"I suppose it's fair that you tell me your name since you already know mine?" I asked her, I need to know her so much. Please, tell me your name, angel.
"My name?" She repeat my question and look confused. Why she look surprise I want to know her?
I nodded and take her hand, held it softly and kiss it. God, her skin is so soft, she's real? "Yes, I'll be honor to know such a lovely girl like you" I said and start kissing her hand.
"Uncle Dimitri" Alicia voice snap me and I put down her hand from my lips "You’re back"
I turn my head and smile to her but I still held my angel hand and don't want to let it go. I want to make sure she's there.
"Hey, sweetie" I speak and greet her before kiss her cheek "Yes, my work is finished at last. What are you doing here?" I ask and hope that she didn't come and disturb me with my angel.
"That's great" She jump happily and claps her hand "Well.. I'm always come here to accompany Aunt Bianca" She said and turn her head to my angel and smiled at her.
Wait, WHAT?!
"What?" I was shocked and looking at them.
I turn back my eyes to my angel "You're Bianca?" I asked her stupidity.
She nodded her head, look confused.
Oh s**t, this beautiful girl, this angel is Bianca? "You're my wife?" I ask again and try reassuring myself for having this luck.
I knew I sound and look stupid. I know my mouth was opened from losing my voice and my mind is numb right know.
I just never realized that everyone was right about her. My mother was truly a brilliant woman, for making her my wife. I was an i***t for running away from this beauty and lovely angel in front of me.
Why I did not not throw my pride and just look at her on our wedding day. No, I'm stupid enough to ignored her and didn't make a single glance.
That's why she look confused when I'm asking her name. s**t, I bet she's angry for knowing i didn't recognized her.
I know my mistake and I don't want to act like a stupid man anymore.
I found her.
I found an angel.
An angel that was mine.
My unwanted wife is an angel!
