Chapter 61
Anna''s POV
When I see Tony''s name sh across my phone screen, I assume he is calling to know if I am truly
married or not.
The first time he asked me a question like that, it sounded ridiculous to my ears but now that it is real, I
feel ashamed of telling him about my unreal marital status.
"How are you doing, Anna?" He requests. I am quite surprised he Is sounding cool and calm. His voice
isn''t raised and I can''t detect any tone of anger, impatience, or apprehension.
"I am fine, Tony. How are you?" I demand from him too?
I am still expecting him to ask, ''Are you married? I saw it in the news'', but he isn''t saying anything.
I know seeing my marriage to Aidan in the news is not expected because of how quiet it was but I
wouldn''t be surprised if it happened to be on the news. There are spies everywhere and would do all it
takes to get information like ours to the public.
"I am fine, Anna", he answer softly, after a moment of silence. He isn''t sounding happy.
"Are you sure? You don''t sound well", I tell him.
"I''m ok. Pam told me you study online now", he mutters.
"Yeah."
"Is it the baby? Are you ok?" He demands again and I raise a surprised brow at Pam whoes in
at the moment.
Why is he being nice to me now after two months of ignoring me?
"No, I''m fine", I reply again. I don''t want to mention anything about my baby or my new lifestyle.
"I was wondering...hmm wondering if we could meet", he mutters the courage to voice out his thoughts.
I never knew Tony still had a thing for me, I thought whatever he had is already faded. I wanted to go to
school the following week after Aidan helped process my studies online. I wanted to go because of
Tony, I wanted to see him for thest time and talk to him since he was still ignoring him. I also wanted
to tell him about my marriage, so he can feel envious of the man but now I am d I didn''t go to school
to tell him I am married.
"What do you say, Anna?" His voice isn''t shaky or firm. He is just having doubts about my eptance
to meet with him. I really have no idea what the meeting will be all about but I am curious to know it.
"Erhmmm...I would love to but the thing is, I am not in New York at the moment...."
"Are you avoiding me, Anna?" He asks sadly.
"Of course not, why will I do that? I''m seriously not in New York. I''m on a vacation and Pam is with
me too." I lie.
Pam grins and shouts so he can hear her from where she is sitting across from me. "Hi, Tony."
I hear him heave a sigh of relief. "My regards to Pam."
"She''s all ears."
"When will you be back?" He demands.
"I don''t know yet but I will let you know when I''m back."
"Promise?"
"Yes, promise", I smile. I can''t believe I am excited about the meeting with Tony. I used to think I didn''t
like him until the day he began to ignore me. I realize I like him too but I was ying hard to get to be
on the safe side.
Tony is a pushy type who won''t give up easily until he gets what he wants but am I ready to give him a
chance in my life?
Aidan says I can date and Tony will be the first man on the list of men I will like to date, but that will be
after I have weed my baby to the world.
I remember Cameron. I can''t remember thest time I thought of him, I can''t believe I have gotten over
the idiot in just a few months. I guess the overwhelming happenings in my life are enough to make me
let go of the hurt that came with his betrayal and subsequent breakup.
Cameron can''t know I am married to Aidan as Pam and I nned before. This is because the
rtionship between Aidan and me is discreet. I am still using my name, Anna Gomez instead of
changing it to Anna Alvarez.
This is what Aidan wants and I am damn ok with it. I no longer use his credit cards whenever I go
shopping, this is to avoid suspicious looks from where I buy things.
He has credited my ount with enough money tost my baby and me a year if I spend a lot and I am
tempted to go elsewhere since I am financially bnced at the moment. I am tempted to move out of
his house and find a luxurious home to live in on my own, but I know he won''t allow that.
Since Cameron can never know about me and Aidan, I guess Tony can be the substitute, but that will
be after the baby is born so he won''t think Tony is responsible for my pregnancy and I don''t want to
push Tony away. It is obvious he is scared of the responsibilities thates with being in love with a
"Anna?" He jerks me out of my reverie.
"Uh?" I answer, feeling stupid for getting lost.
"I said bye, I will be expecting your call", he repeats.
"Oh, ok. Bye."
"Take care of you", he utters.
I smile. "You too." I drop the call and Pam peers at me in anticipation of the news.
We just got back to the mansion a few minutes ago, we went shopping for the baby''s things.
Pames to the house to keep mepany and I am sure Tony will believe my lie about the
vacation with Pam. She has been absent from school for a week now.
"What?" She waves her right hand in my face.
"He said he wants us to meet and talk", I inform her, trying to hide my smile.
"Really?" She opens her eyes wide dramatically and stands with hands akimbo. I nod and look away.
"I''m happy for you, baby girl", shees to me and pulls me into a tight embrace.
"You are killing me", I struggle to get out. Sheughs and I push her away.
"Are you going to meet him?"
"Yes", I answer sharply.
"Are you going to date him?"
"Yes...", I bite my lips. "I don''t know." I really don''t know.
"If it''s because of the baby, don''t worry.
Everything will be fine", she pats my bump gently. "You need toe out so mommy can start dating
again, ok?"
I shake my head in disbelief andugh. She picks up her bag and stands up. I wonder where she is
going.
"Your husband will be home soon, I need to take my leave now", she says, as if reading my mind. I

keep telling her to stop calling Aidan my husband but she wouldn''t listen.
I am about to say something when she turns to me with a mischievous glint. "I never knew you lie too",
she winks. "You are a great liar by the way."
Before I can stop her, she goes out and ms the door shut. I smile to myself about the remark.
I became a great liar the day I came in contact with Aidan and I got to know I was going to be his bride.
So much for being an unwanted bride, I muse to myself.
