A Billionaire's Accidental Love: Bride Who Stole His Heart Chapter 67
Maya stepped out of the Lucas villa, breathing a heavy sigh. As she stood outside, she stared at the magnificent building, reminiscing on her childhood days. “I wish I could stop him. The hurting is getting too much and I can't believe I am his tool to ruin the family who took care of me all along.” She was too lost in her thoughts and just as she was about to open the door of her car and enter inside, she stood still as if something suddenly struck. “What if I just tell them the truth and stop everything right now?” “You? Stop right now?” A voice sneered in her head. “That is mission impossible. It can never happen. You are as wicked as him so don't think you will go scott free even if you decide to turn in yourself.” Maya's hand wavered on the car door handle, her mind torn apart by the conflicting desires to betray and to protect. The voice in her head kept jeering at her, its words dripping with malice. "You're as wicked as him... you will never go scott free." With a defea

Mrs Lucas could not get the thought of everything she had heard off her mind. The more she tried to push it back, the more force it came back with a severe force to hunt her. “What should I do now? Lucas will definitely get angry and throw Maya into jail with Miguel without even finding out the cause.” “I don't think I want anyone that is innocent to suffer.” Pacing round her room, she finally came to a conclusion to track Maya down. She threw on a casual black gown and grabbed her car keys, rushing down. “I must get to the bottom of this.” “Where are heading out to, ma'am?” The driver who was on standby asked when he saw her rush out. “I can drive y…” “Don't worry. I can drive myself. I want to go alone.” She cut him short before he could complete his statement. She turned on the ignition and zoomed out of the villa. Mrs. Lucas sped through the night, her mind racing with thoughts of Maya and the mysterious conversation she had overheard. She couldn't shake off the feeling

Mrs. Lucas walked into Emma's restaurant, scanning the bustling space for her daughter. She had called Emma on the phone earlier and she needed to speak with her. She spotted Emma in the corner, typing away on her phone. Mrs. Lucas made her way over, her heels clicking on the tile floor. "Hey, Mom," Emma said, standing up to hug her mother. "Hey, sweetie," Mrs. Lucas replied, taking a seat across from Emma. "Thanks for meeting me here. I needed to talk to you about something." Emma raised an eyebrow. "What is it? You sounded serious on the phone." Mrs. Lucas took a deep breath. "It's about Maya. I know you two are not so close, but I need to tell you something." Emma's expression turned cautious. "What is it?" Mrs. Lucas hesitated, choosing her words carefully. "I overheard Maya talking to Miguel yesterday. They seem to be working together, Emma. Against us, against the family.” Miguel? Was her mom already aware of Miguel? She guessed immediately that her father, Mr Lucas, must

Emma walked out of her restaurant, the cool evening air blowing softly on her as she made her way to her car. She had agreed to meet Maya at a coffee shop down the street, but her mind was still reeling from the phone call. As she unlocked her car and slid into the driver's seat, Emma could not shake off the feeling of unease. It was the voice in the background, the one that had sent a shiver down her spine. She was certain she had heard it before, but where? Emma started the engine and pulled out of the parking lot, her eyes scanning the road as she drove. She tried to focus on the task at hand which meeting Maya and finding out what was going on, but her mind kept wandering back to the voice. It sounded so familiar, yet she could not quite place it. Had she met Miguel from her past? Someone she had met recently? The more she thought about it, the more her head spun. As she pulled into the coffee shop parking lot, Emma took a deep breath and tried to calm her racing thoughts. Sh

Emma's eyes narrowed as she followed Maya's car. Something did not feel right. As she turned a corner, she noticed a black SUV pulling up alongside Maya's car. The driver's eyes locked onto Maya's, a cold, calculating glint in his eye. Emma's heart skipped a beat. She knew that look, knew what it meant. Without hesitation, Emma floored it, speeding up to pull alongside Maya's car. She honked her horn, waving her arms wildly to get Maya's attention. Maya, startled, looked over to see Emma gesturing frantically. She slammed on the brakes, her car skidding to a stop just inches from the black SUV. The driver's eyes widened in surprise, his plan ruined. He glared at Emma, his face twisted in anger. Maya looked at Emma, confusion etched on her face. "What's going on?" Emma did not hesitate. "Get out of the car, Maya. Now." Maya's eyes darted to the black SUV, and for a moment, Emma saw fear flash in her eyes. Then, she quickly got out of the car, her eyes fixed on the SUV. The driv

Emma walked through the front door, her mind still reeling from the events of the day. She wanted to reach out to Maya, to make sure she was okay, but something held her back. As she entered the living room, Adriel looked up from his book, concern etched on his face. "Hey babe, everything alright? You look a bit shaken." Emma forced a smile, not wanting to worry him. "I am fine, just a long day." Adriel raised an eyebrow, skeptical. "You sure? You can tell me if something is wrong." Emma hesitated, tempted to confide in him. But she knew he wouldn't be happy if he found out what she was doing - putting herself in harm's way to protect Maya. So she lied, trying to sound convincing. "Really, I am fine. I'm just tired." Adriel nodded, though his eyes lingered on her face, searching for any sign of deception. Emma felt a pang of guilt, but pushed it aside. She could not let him worry about her, not now. He had more than enough to handle, not this. She walked over to the kitchen, tryi

In one gulp, Maya drank everything. Evelyn kept watching her from the corner of her eyes. Dabbing the edge of her mouth to clean off some lemonade on her lips, she said, “I drank it already and nothing happened. I wouldn't poison myself or anyone.” “Hmph!” Evelyn humped, watching Maya intently. She still did not believe Maya would not do anything if she had the opportunity. Just as Maya had drank her own glass, Emma accidentally knocked over her own glass, spilling lemonade all over the table and Maya's hand. "Oh no, I am so clumsy!" Emma exclaimed, as she quickly grabbed a napkin to clean up the mess. Maya's eyes widened in frustration, her plan foiled once again. She could not believe her bad luck. Evelyn, still suspicious, eyed Maya's glass warily. "You know, I think I'll pass on the drink. I am not really thirsty anyway." Maya's face fell, her anger and disappointment barely contained. She knew she could not try again, not now that Evelyn was even more suspicious. "It's oka

Evelyn turned to leave, her movements abrupt. Adriel called out a goodbye, but Evelyn just waved over her shoulder. As the door closed behind her, Adriel turned to Emma. "What's going on with Evelyn? She seemed really worked up." Emma shrugged, her eyes still fixed on the necklace. "I don't know. She's just been really scared about something lately.” Adriel raised an eyebrow. "Scared? That's not like Evelyn." Emma shrugged again, her expression betraying her inner thoughts. "I don't know, Adriel. Maybe she is just stressed or something." Adriel nodded and continued to his room but Emma rushed behind him and held on to his chair, wheeling him forward. “It's been a while since you did this.” He mumbled to her. “You always complain that I don't need to wheel you around and that it is electric, so…” “But you know I want you to do this for me sometimes.” He chuckled, patting her hand on his shoulder. “So how is the case with Darwin? I know he is still in the police custody.” She as

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
