My Baby’s Daddy Is Mr CEO

Chapter 79

The wedding preparations and arrangements are finally complete, they had just one week before the D-day. Aria and Oliver were yet to get back together; they barely saw each other during that period so Princess Lena came up with a new idea.

“Are you sure that this would work?” Rosie asked Lena. They were all seated in Oliver’s seating room, all except Aria as this meeting was being held because of her.

“Yes Aunt, we have just one week before the wedding and if we use those days efficiently, then I am certain that we would be having a double wedding on the final day,” she replied.

“So, how do we use those days efficiently?” Sammy asked curiously.

“Oh, leave that to my Dad and I, we will see to that. I just need you two to help me convince Aria to go on this trip with us.” Lena said.

Rosie smiled. “That won’t be a problem at all, I am sure my best friend won’t miss an opportunity to spend a vacation at Hawaii, we won’t even need to persuade her, she would agree to it,” she replied.

“Well, that is good, now this is what I call teamwork, if this works… we all have something to gain so let’s look forward to it,” Lena said.

Sammy chuckled. “You know, choosing her as the boss was not a mistake at all,” he said to Oliver.

“Excuse me Uncle Sam, you didn’t choose me, I chose myself,” she replied quickly and they all laughed.

Just then there was a knock on the door. Oliver stared at Sammy and he waved his head in the negative.

“Okay, the last time I checked, no one else lives in this estate so it can’t be a neighbor knocking,” he said and chuckled.

He stood up and walked to the door, he peeped through the glass hole but he couldn’t see the person’s face, so he went ahead and opened the door. He was shocked to see Aria standing there, he was not expecting her till tomorrow.

She had requested to take her daughter home and they agreed that she could take Lena back to Rosie’s house the next day, so why was she here now?

“It’s okay if I can’t come in, you can just call her out here,” Aria said, after a few minutes of silence between them. Not that Oliver didn’t want to talk to her, he was still shocked to see her there especially when the others were inside.

“Huh? No, of course you can come in,” he said with a nervous smile and walked out of her path.

She nodded and walked inside. Now it was her turn to get shocked, not just her but the other people in the sitting room. They all stood in surprise, staring at each other.

“Wait a sec… what are you guys doing here?” Aria asked in surprise.

“Oh… hi mom,” Lena said nervously and forced a smile.

“Don’t change the topic,” Aria said immediately.

“Well technically, you are not supposed to be here either,” Lena argued.

“Keep quiet Lena, I want to speak to the adults,” Aria said solemnly, she had suspicions that something sly was going on here.

“Well, she is an adult,” Rosie replied and they burst into laughter.

“What are you guys up to?” she asked and darted her gaze to Rosie.

“Oh, it’s nothing much.” Rosie replied and chuckled.

“Of course you wouldn’t tell me and Lena wouldn’t tell me, I don’t expect Mr. Gomez to tell me but I am certain that Sammy would not lie to me, right Sammy?” she asked and turned her gaze to him.

His heart flipped immediately, she was right, he would not be able to lie to her even if he wanted to. “Relax Aria, of course I wouldn’t lie to you, and it’s nothing to get so serious about. Rosie came to see me in the office and we decided to check on Lena before I brought her home…

Lena was just telling us of her idea for a vacation, we all think it’s a great idea to spend time before the wedding since we would be getting separated after the wedding, so we would like to know what you think about it?” he asked.

Aria sighed and turned to Lena, “I don’t think I want to go on a vacation but thanks for trying to strengthen the bond we share. I understand your motives for coming up with such a plan and I really appreciate it. However, I am not interested… Now come with me Lena, let’s go home,” she said bluntly. She didn’t trust them at all, this might be more than just a vacation, she could feel it.

“Did I mention that the destination is Hawaii?” Rosie asked with a smirk and Aria paused.

She darted her gaze to Rosie immediately. “You are kidding right?” she asked with a plain face. She knew her best friend too well and Rosie can’t be trusted at times.

“Yes Mom, dad says he is taking us to Hawaii, too bad you won’t be coming, you are going to miss out on all the fun. Oh, I can finally visit Pearl Harbor,” Lena said excitedly.

“Fine, I know Rosie is behind this, you know I won’t be able to resist going to Hawaii, so you won, I am coming along with you,” she replied in a stern voice then she smiled.

“Yeaaahhh!! Mommy is coming too,” Lena screamed in excitement and hugged her, while Sammy chuckled.

Oliver smiled behind her, and then he looked towards Rosie and nodded as a sign of appreciation. Even if he had any bad feelings towards her for the way he had treated her in the past, it was over now. She had done him a great favor; hopefully, their plan succeeds this time.

“Alright then, since we all agree to go on this vacation, I would see to it that everything we need is ready. You all should get ready, we will leave the day after tomorrow so that we can make it back on time for the wedding. I am sure you two won’t want to be late for your own wedding,” Oliver teased and they laughed.

“You know that would make sense, our names could go down in history, the couple who were late for their own wedding,” Sammy said and they laughed further.”

They spent time discussing and Aria decided to sneak around the house when no one was watching. They were all busy chit chatting that they did not see her climb up the stairs.

The first place she headed to was their old matrimonial room, the one that they never consummated their marriage in.

Yes, Oliver and Aria never got intimate after their wedding, so their old marriage was not yet complete even with the arrival of their child.

Aria arrived at the room and found out that the door was locked. From the dust on its handle, she could tell that no one had gone in there for months. It turns out that Oliver had sealed it off and even went ahead to paste a note on it. “Stay away”

Well, it felt like that note was for her, she got emotional as she remembered the good times that they spent in this very room. how they made love without even making love.

A part of her wanted to go back to those days, she wanted to be in his arms again, she wanted to hear him call her Honey bunny once again. He wanted him to touch her and tell her that she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

But then there was this other part of her that just wished to move on and forget that they had ever been a thing, she just wanted to never see Oliver again as it brought back the painful memories as well. The unfulfilled promises, the very same man that had told her countless times that he would always be by her side was the same person that pushed her away.

She felt tears start to roll down her eyes as she touched the door frame. She could still smell little Princess’s baby powder from the inside. He had not disposed of any of that, he was still holding onto those memories while she on the other hand kept fighting them off.

“I can get the keys if you want,” she heard Oliver’s voice behind her.

She thought she was imagining it but when she turned around, she met him standing behind her, looking all emotional.

She cleaned the tears off her eyes immediately. “No, it’s fine, I would just take Lena and go,” she said in a hurry and tried to walk past him.

Oliver caught her arm immediately and pulled her to his chest. He could hear her heart beating so fast as she looked away from him.

“Please Aria, let’s put an end to this now, come back to me and be my wife again,” he pleaded.

She couldn’t fight back the tears anymore as she let them flow, “No Oliver, we can’t be together again, you did this to us and it can’t be fixed,” she said amidst tears.

“But why not Aria? Why can’t we be together again?” He asked curiously

“Because you betrayed me Oliver, you went back on your words and that hurt the most. I am not mad because you chose your family over me, I just can’t bear the fact that you couldn’t keep to your word.

You promised me more than a million times that you will never send me away, that you would always chose me but when the time came, it didn’t take you long to hand those papers over to me, you threw me out of your life like I didn’t matter and that’s one thing I can never forget. Now if you would excuse me, I have to go.” She concluded and pulled her arm off his, then went down the stairs in a hurry.

Oliver stood there and watched her leave, he had no idea that she still held this much anger towards him, not just the anger but the pain of his actions was still fresh in her heart. Or maybe he had reopened those old wounds with his words tonight.

Whatever the reason was, he was not going to give up on Aria. Now he was certain that this would be a difficult task but he was more than determined to win her back. He had so many reasons to do that, he had to do it for his daughter, he had to do it for his grandpa as well; grandpa Go had been feeling guilty for making his marriage fall apart and that guilt won’t go away until they are back together, then mostly he had to do it for himself. He really needed to make peace with his mind and be with the love of his life again.
