He only married me to show her that he already moved on

He has all the traits that you wished for your dream man to have. Power, money, perfection, handsomeness and a body like a Greek God. But he's in love. He's in love with her. For him, she is the completion of his dream, a perfect wife and a mother to be with his children. He would give her everything including his own life. He would sacrifice his world for her. But she left him. She betrayed him. She broke his heart into pieces. And he turned into a cold, heartless, rude and an arrogant billionaire, who would do everything to show her that she's no longer important into his life. Even though the truth is the opposite of what he is doing. His heart still aches for her. And that's when he met me. I applied as his Personal Assistant to fulfil my bucket list of dreams. To explore my life and experience everything. He offered me a deal. He asked me to marry him just to show his ex that he already moved on. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * "She's pregnant." He blurted out and I almost stumbled on where I am standing. I just gripped the backrest of the couch to support my weight. The pain creeping in my heart is unbearable but I managed to stay calm. "Wow! Congratulations!" I said faking my excitement as I remembered him saying... -cheating would not be the reason to break our marriage- of course I couldn't accuse him of this as 'cheating' because she was the real reason why we are pretending as a couple. He still loves her. He's still in love with her. And that's when I made the biggest decision in my life. Taking all my strength and a piece of my heart that still hanging on a thin rope... I left him. Taking also my biggest secret in me... that I've already fallen in love with him. Then I learned a lesson; 'Loving someone who doesn't love you back isn't as hard as loving someone who still in love with his ex and who just only uses you to get her back again into his life..'

Chapter eighty-three: Mom's permission

"Wow! Do you have a wedding event or debut party for today?"

I smiled as I heard my Mom's question when we parked in the parking lot of the restaurant.

"Nope. It's just an ordinary day, Mom."

"Ordinary day? But there are lots of flowers outside and even inside the restaurant."

"Let's go, I'll explain to you while we walk." 

I said getting my bag and exiting the car. She followed me and noticed her looking in awe at the flowers that were beautifully arranged outside the restaurant.

"Whose idea is it? Is it from Noelle? I like it."

"No, Mom, these are all Gabriel's ideas." 

She suddenly stopped walking and looked at me frowning.

"Hmm... these are your favorite colors, aren't they? White and peach?"

I simply nodded with a shy smile.

"I see... the efforts he's giving you, huh? So, how do you feel about it?"

I rolled my eyes. "Mom, are we seriously going to talk about this topic outside?"
