The billionaire CEO's accidental bride
Lily never imagined she’d end up married to Ethan, her sister's boyfriend. But now, she finds herself under the same roof with Ethan and his family, her life taking an unexpected turn. Caught in the web of her confusion, anxiety, and the judgment of her family, Lily is left feeling more isolated than ever before.
Once a close-knit and loving family, the atmosphere now crackles with resentment. Lily’s every move is scrutinized, and the disapproval from her own family is overwhelming. Her desire for acceptance seems impossible as the weight of her actions presses down on her.
However, there’s one person who still offers her warmth, Mommy Maita, her mother-in-law. Unlike the others, she tries to make Lily feel welcome, offering her kindness and comfort. But Lily can’t help but question whether this kindness is genuine or just a way to keep up appearances in a family already torn apart by scandal.
Ethan’s attitude towards Lily only complicates things further. His anger is palpable, and he seems resistant to accept her as his wife. Lily is left in the dark, wondering why he’s so hostile, when all she wants is a connection. But with every passing day, the emotional gap between them widens, and Lily is left questioning her place in this fractured life.
Torn between her desire for love and the turmoil surrounding her, Lily struggles with feelings of inadequacy and self-doubt. As expectations and societal pressures weigh heavily on her, she starts to wonder if she’ll ever find a way out of this mess.
Lily finds solace in her friends Miya and Rafael. They offer her the understanding and support she desperately needs, reminding her that maybe there’s still hope in a world that seems determined to tear her apart.

The signs were all there, Ethan’s sudden late nights, the way he barely touched me anymore, the guarded way he looked at me when he thought I wasn’t paying attention. But I convinced myself it was just my paranoia. I told myself he loved me and that we were happy.What a goddamn joke.I was sitting in that café, sipping on an overpriced latte, laughing at Miya’s dumb joke—only to have my world crack open in the worst possible way.“Lily… is that Ethan?” Miya whispered, her voice tight. “And… Rosy?”My stomach twisted so hard I thought I was going to throw up.I turned my head, dread pooling in my veins like ice water.

Chapter: Chapter 12: Trouble in MindMiya’s POVMiya! Miya! Miya!Rafael’s voice snapped me out of my daze. I blinked, realizing he had been standing there for a while, staring at me like I had grown a second head."Ah!" I jumped a little. "How long have you been standing there, creep?""Long enough to wonder what the hell is wrong with your face." He squinted at me, tilting his head like I was some kind of weird specimen. "Did you lose a fight to a raccoon?"I rolled my eyes. "Ha-ha, very funny, Raf. If you must know, we got into a fight yesterday. And now, my brother and Ethan are being dragged to the guidance office along with those two brats' parents.""Okay… and? Why do you look like you swallowed a lemon?" he asked, still unimpressed."Because Ethan is demanding that if my brother and our school can’t justify what happened to Lily and me yesterday, the whole damn school will be shut down." I crossed my arms, my irritation growing."What?!" Rafael's jaw nearly hit the floor. "Wait—Ethan? As in your brother's so-call

Chapter: Chapter 11: The Lines We CrossThe shrill cry of Lily’s alarm clock tore through the stillness of the morning, pulling her from the warmth of sleep. School. Ugh. She groaned and rubbed her eyes, only to feel the comforting weight of someone’s arms around her. She froze. Ethan. His body was pressed against hers, warm and solid, and she immediately felt that familiar rush of both anxiety and attraction.“Where are you going? Is it too early?” Ethan’s voice was soft, thick with sleep as he held her even tighter, like he didn’t want to let go.Lily hesitated for a moment, trying to escape the pull of his embrace. “I have school today. I need to get ready. I might be late.”“Fine,” Ethan murmured, sounding almost disappointed. “I’ll take you to school.”Lily blinked, surprised. Ethan offering to take her to school? That was new. Since... well, since everything had changed between them, he hadn’t been the same. Gone was the angry, distant man she had known. Now, there was something softer, more concerned in his voice. Sh

Chapter: Chapter 10: The Karma⚠ WARNING: This chapter contains mature themes, deceit, and steamy moments. Reader discretion is advised.Rosy stared at the blank wall, a million anxious thoughts swirling in her head. She never imagined this would happen. James, her manager, the man she’d trusted implicitly for five years, had revealed himself to be a monster. He wasn’t the supportive figure she’d known; he was a predator, and she was his prey.It had started the moment she arrived in Paris. A celebratory drink, her guard down, and then… the violation. She’d been drunk, vulnerable. He’d taken advantage, betraying her trust in the most brutal way. He’d confessed to watching her for years, yearning for her, unable to act because Ethan, her boyfriend, had always been there. He knew everything about her…. her career, her personal life, even the intimate details of her past relationships. It was a chilling realization."Oh, you’re finally awake," he drawled, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "What time is it? Still lying

Now, back in her room, the only thing she craved was solitude. She stepped into the bathroom, the warm water washing away the fatigue that had built up over the day. It was Sunday, and Lily was determined to relax, read a few chapters for school, and maybe let herself drift into a peaceful nap.The steam in the bathroom wrapped around her like a comforting embrace. The hot water soothed her muscles, and her thoughts slowly began to clear. But as she stepped out of the shower, wrapped in a towel, she froze.In the middle of her room, sitting on the sofa with a relaxed, almost casual demeanor, was Ethan. His eyes flicked up to meet hers the moment she emerged, and she could feel the heat rush to her face. Was this a dream? A nightmare? Or something else en
