A Billionaire's Accidental Love: Bride Who Stole His Heart Chapter 41
“I won’t take this from you, Adriel. Don't raise your voice at me either.""This is an insult. Why would you accuse me falsely of wanting to harm your wife?"“An insult, huh? Are you telling me I was wrong with what I saw and you and Emma are on good terms?Maya's eyes widened, her voice taking on a innocent tone. "Oh, Adriel, I do not know what you are talking about. I would never threaten Emma. We are friends, aren't we?"Adriel's eyes narrowed, his voice firm. "Don't play dumb, Maya. I know what I saw. You were threatening her, and I want to know why."Maya's gaze dropped, her lashes fluttering as she feigned embarrassment. "I don't know what you are talking about, Adriel. I was just...just trying to help Emma. Yes, that's it. Help her."Adriel's jaw clenched, his patience wearing thin. "Help her? By telling her she is lucky you are letting her off the hook this time? What does that even mean?"Deep down, Maya felt Adriel must have seen the text she sent to Emma but it does not ma

“Damn it! I can't believe Adriel would call me over because of that bitch and tell me to stay away from her.”“Hmph! Bitch, your husband just fueled my anger. I am not going to take it lightly with you when I come out of this situation.”Maya was fuming with anger as she repeatedly slammed her hands against the car’s steering, cursing Emma loudly.Maya's face twisted in a snarl as she slammed her hands against the steering wheel this time, the sound echoing through the car. "Damn it! Damn it! Damn it!" she shouted, her voice rising with each curse.Her eyes blazed with fury, her pupils constricted into tiny dots. Her skin was flushed and her cheeks burned with anger."Bitch! Emma! You think you are so perfect, don't you?" Maya spat, her voice venomous. "You think you can just waltz in and steal Adriel away from me?"Maya's hands clenched into fists, her knuckles white with tension. She pounded the steering wheel again, the honking sound reverberating through the car."Hmph! Adriel t

“Goodnight.”“Goodnight? Just a plain goodnight? not even with a smile? Is that all she had to say? Is she really that pissed at me?”Adriel turned over on his bed restlessly. Emma had been avoiding him like a plague and when they met, she would just greet him hurriedly sometimes and brush past.“Wait, don't tell me she is…?”“Well if that is it, then I know what to do.” A wide smile spread across Adriel’s lips.He jumped out of bed to prepare for work. Although it was not his usual wake up time, he was up to see Emma because he knew she would leave earlier than him.“Shit! I hope she hasn't left.” Slipping on a comfy slipper, he ran to the door, almost dashing out.A bell ran in his head and he looked down at his legs just to realize what he was about doing.“Shit! Was I just about to run out with my legs? Why am I getting less conscious of this?”He rushed back to sit in his electric wheelchair and rolled himself out of his room.Adriel rolled his chair into the dining room, his eye

“How is your darling husband doing? I guess he is strong and back up on his feet."Harper had asked Emma earlier in the day when they met.“Oh please, don't bring him up. Isn't he your friend also? You can ask him yourself."“Why? Still jealous?” She giggled, laughing at Emma.“You know, I think I know Adriel very well. He loves you so much and it is not anything of that sort you are thinking of. Once Adriel loves a person, he gives his heart out to the person fully."“Come on, girl, don't even compare yourself to Maya. How can that ugly duckling match up to your beauty? Thank goodness for the makeup and touches she does. That's her only source of beauty.”"Harper, I have told you before, it is not about physical appearance. And even if it was, Maya has a beauty that goes beyond skin-deep."Harper snorted, rolling her eyes. "Please, spare me the details. I know Adriel's type, and it is definitely not Maya."“Don't you think you should talk to him? I know how it feels like to be a jea

“I think we are going to be making babies pretty soon as your family expects.” He chuckled, smiling down at her.“I don't want babies yet.”“Huhn?"“I just want it to be the two of us enjoying ourselves first. Children can be a handful."“I thought you would want babies. I guess we are alike. I don't want to have another fellow dragging you with me yet. They can wait, right?""Sure." They giggled together.Adriel's eyes never left Emma's as he gently laid her down on the bed. He hovered over her, his face inches from hers, his warm breath sending shivers down her spine.Emma's hand traced the contours of his face, her fingers grazing his lips. Adriel's eyes fluttered closed, his mouth parting slightly as he savored her touch.He lowered himself beside her, his body aligning with hers. Emma felt his warmth, his heartbeat, and his gentle caresses. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer.Their lips met in a soft, gentle kiss. Adriel's tongue moved along with hers in less eff

Mr. Lucas stared at the document in his hand, his eyes scanning the pages with a growing sense of dread. He had submitted this proposal to the investors just yesterday, and now..."No, no, no, no, no," he muttered to himself, his voice rising in panic.His assistant, Sarah, poked her head into the room. "Sir, is everything okay?"Mr. Lucas looked up, his face ashen. "Get me the original document, the one we worked on last week. Now!”Sarah's eyes widened, but she quickly nodded and rushed out of the room.Mr. Lucas paced back and forth, his mind racing. How could he have been so careless? He had double-checked everything, or so he thought.Sarah returned with the original document, and Mr. Lucas snatched it from her hands. Mr Lucas had made more than one original of the documents but he kept them aside and kept only one in his study room which Maya took and replaced.He compared the two documents, his heart sinking with each passing moment."This can't be happening. How did this happ

“Adriel.” Emma called after him softly when he let go off her arms.“I am sorry if my family is being a burden to you.”“Shhsh! When did I ever say they were a burden? They can only become a burden when they ask me to return YOU which is never going to happen.” He replied with a small chuckle.“I know but I just feel uncomfortable with…”“Uncomfortable with your father pressing on you to speak to me?”“I can help you speak to him and he won't have to bother you anymore but come straight to me.”“No, no,no, Adriel, that is not what I mean. You don't have to do any of that.”"I just feel like they are putting you in a difficult position, asking you to help them with their business problems," Emma said, her voice barely above a whisper.Although Emma was submissive to her father and her family, she felt bad having to be a the one talking to Adriel about stuff like this. She had been married to him after all, fulfilling her greatest duty from her family.Adriel turned to face her, his eye

“Damn it! How is this even possible? Why did you have to get involved in this, Adriel? Why?”She screamed at the top of her voice as if Adriel could hear her right there and then.She did not have a problem with Mr Miguel going after the Lucas family or even Emma but not Adriel.She still believed that she could get Emma out of the way one day and have Adriel to herself.Maya's hands trembled as she dialed Mr. Miguel's number, her mind racing with thoughts of Adriel and the risk of danger he faced. “Pick up! Pick up! Pick up for goodness sake!”When Mr. Miguel answered, his voice was calm, but she could sense the underlying anger in his calm tone."Maya, I thought we were done discussing this," he said, his tone dripping with disdain."I need to talk to you about Adriel. I know I messed up big time and so I am going to sort this out.” Maya said, trying to keep her voice steady. "You can't hurt him, Mr. Miguel. He is innocent.""Innocent?" Mr. Miguel's laughter sent chills down Maya's

The room went silent and a took a long while before someone may as small as the sound of tapping the finger. “Errm…erm…we don't have to bring that up now.” Mr Carlos coughed, “I am sorry but I had to. I had to bring it up to explain my condition to everyone.” Adriel had a half sinister apologetic look on his face. Darwin's parent mother and stepdad were seated there.“Don't think you can put my son in jail after coming up with some stupid pile of evidence against him.” Maria, Darwin's mother spat out.Adriel had expected this. She was as evil as her son and would not back down easily. But in all, Adriel had the victory. Mr Carlos cleared his throat, making every other whisper in the dinning hall stop. “It is a beautiful evening to enjoy a beautiful dinner so let us enjoy it as a united family should. What has happened has happened. It is already in the past. One has to pay for his crime and bear the weight of the consequence of his actions.” He paused for some kind of effect,

“Don't keep me waiting, Harper. Just tell me now.” Harper grinned mischievously, enjoying the suspense. "Oh, Emma, you're so impatient! Can't you just savor the moment?" Emma rolled her eyes, laughing. "Savor the moment? You're killing me, Harper! Just spill the beans already!" Harper chuckled, taking a seat next to Emma on the couch. "Okay, okay. But first, let me ask you... how's married life treating you?" Emma's face lit up with a radiant smile. "It's amazing! Adriel is an incredible husband. I'm so grateful to have him." Harper's eyes sparkled with excitement. "That's so wonderful! I'm thrilled for you both. And speaking of thrilling news..." Emma's eyes narrowed, her voice playful. "Harper, don't tease me! Tell me already!" Harper giggled, stalling for a moment longer. "Okay, fine. But you have to promise not to freak out." Emma's hands flew up in exasperation. "I promise, I promise! Just tell me!" Harper took a deep breath, a sly grin spreading across her face. "I am

“Oops! My bad! I shouldn't be here.” Harper turned around, closing the door slightly. Adriel’s growling voice called her back. “Harper, stop right there.” “What do you want me to do? You shouldn't call me back in, just continue with whatever you were doing.” Emma kept nudging Adriel to stop as she was dying of embarrassment. “You already ruined the moment, Harper. Why did you have to rush in here?” “But it's Emma's room, not yours? I thought she would be the only one in. I didn't expect to see that scene.” The three stood awkwardly in the room. After a moment, Harper coughed, breaking the silence. “Alright, I am sorry about rushing in. I didn't expect to see you in.” “Well, I heard the news that happened in my absence and I rushed over to come see Emma. I haven't seen or spoken to her in a while after my impromptu trip outside the country.” Emma broke free from Adriel and drew Harper into a hug. “Thank you, Adriel.” “For what, Emma?” Harper asked, smiling and embracing he

“You look startled, babe.” Adriel whispered in Emma's ear as they were almost outside the hospital doors. “It is taking a while for me to take in everything that has just happened. It is quite ridiculous, isn't it?” “Do you feel well?” Adriel asked when he saw her scrunch up her nose in disgust. “I am fine, babe. I am just a little tired from all the happenings recently.” She yawned, covering her hand with her palm. “It is all over now and so you don't have to worry.” “Are you saying Darwin is not going to escape again?” “You can't trust me on that, babe. I have got the detective and his men around. He can't escape. Since he is not remorseful or repentant, he has to face the consequences of his actions and the law.” “Are you going to press charges, babe?” “Don't you want me to?” “I do but I just thought when I looked at you, you still have a little feeling for him and hoped he would change.” “Well, he is never going to change. That's the kind of person my brother is and I c

Emma sat on the couch, her eyes fixed on the TV as she flipped through channels. Adriel had been gone for a while, and she was getting anxious. She needed a distraction. Suddenly, a breaking news headline caught her attention: "Breaking News: Carlos's Son Involved in Fatal Accident" Emma's heart skipped a beat as she turned up the volume. "...Details are still coming in, but sources close to the investigation confirm that Darwin, the son of wealthy businessman Carlos, was involved in a severe car accident earlier today," the news anchor said, her voice grave. Emma's eyes widened as she listened, her mind racing with thoughts of Adriel and the danger he might be in. "The accident occurred on Highway 12, where Darwin's car lost control and crashed into a tree. Witnesses report that the car was traveling at high speeds before the accident." Emma felt a chill run down her spine as she watched the footage of the wreckage on TV. It was a miracle anyone had survived. "Darwin is curr

Adriel's fingers traced gentle circles on Emma's bare skin, his touch sending shivers down her spine. They lay together in bed, the soft morning light filtering through the curtains, casting a warm glow on their relaxed faces. Emma's eyes fluttered open, her gaze meeting Adriel's, and she smiled lazily. "Good morning," she whispered, her voice husky from sleep. Adriel's lips curved into a tender smile. "Good morning, my love." Emma's hand drifted up to his cheek, her fingers tracing the sharp jawline. Adriel's eyes closed, his face tilting into her touch. They lay there for a moment, basking in the warmth of each other's presence. Slowly, Adriel's eyes opened, his gaze burning with intensity. Emma's heart skipped a beat as he leaned in, his lips brushing against hers in a soft, gentle kiss. The world around them melted away, leaving only the two of them, lost in their own little bubble of love. As they deepened the kiss, Emma's arms wrapped around Adriel's neck, pulling him cl

“Mom! How can you let dad arrest me alongside that man? I don't know anything about his grudges with dad.” "I don't anything and why he keeps dragging me into all of this. We only met a few times and not to plot anything evil. Please mom, listen to me. Mr Lucas had come to see Maya. She was the only one who was willing to see Maya now. She could not just abandon her as she was the daughter she raised from childhood so it was not easy. She had a pitiful look on her face. “He doesn't want to believe anything you have to say. The fact that he saw you with him was enough to tell him everything. You know how hard your father can be right?” “That is still not enough reason, mom.” She pouted, showing teary eyes. She had been in detention and now it seemed like her stay in the correctional center will be more than just detention now. “Oh, okay! I get it now! It is because I am not his real daughter and neither am I your real daughter. That is why it feels so easy to throw me into the

With newfound determination, he sprang into action.Mr. Lucas called his trusted assistant, Thompson, and instructed him to track down Miguel's whereabouts.Thompson quickly got to work, using his resources to locate Miguel. He soon discovered that Miguel was at a private meeting room in a downtown high-rise, accompanied by Maya.The room was enclosed, with no windows, making it difficult to gather more information without being detected. Mr. Lucas's eyes narrowed, his mind racing with the implications of Miguel and Maya's secret meeting.“He is together with Maya and it is quite a heavily guarded place.”“So what are you waiting for? I want you to storm in there. I don't care if the place is heavily guarded. We have some solid evidence from Maya’s call recording in this house so nothing can go wrong.”“Alright, sir. I will get to work now.”“You had better do so. Don't come back to me without the news of his arrest or detainment.” He said and hung up on the call.Mr Lucas was already

Adriel turned as he watched her walk in.“She is not ready to go down without a fight. I am going to give it to her too.”Adriel's hands moved quickly as he picked his phone to dial a familiar number, his mind still reeling from the encounter with Darwin. He couldn't shake off the feeling of unease that lingered long after he left the prison."Lawrence, it's Adriel. I need to see you now," he said, his voice firm and urgent."Adriel, what's wrong? You sound like you've seen a ghost.” his lawyer replied, concern etched in his voice."It's Darwin. I just got back from visiting him in prison, and I am more convinced than ever that he is a menace. I want to press charges, Lawrence. I want to make sure he pays for what he has done."There was a pause on the other end of the line before Lawrence spoke up. "Adriel, we have been over this. We need to be careful. I have my advice as a legal practitioner for us to tread carefully.“Your stepmother, I mean, Darwin's mother is a powerful woman, a
