Accidentally Married to my Ex-Boyfriend’s Father Chapter 23
~NathanielI adjusted the cuff of my suit jacket for what felt like the hundredth time, pacing in the foyer as my driver waited outside. Everything was ready. The rings were the only thing left, and I should’ve picked them up yesterday, but work had consumed my time. Now, it was the morning of my wedding, and I was stuck waiting for Ethan. I glanced at my watch again. Almost an hour late. He had one job—be on time and accompany me to pick up the rings. Was that so hard? With a frustrated sigh, I stepped into the car, settling into the backseat as the driver sat up front, politely silent. I pulled out my phone, scrolling through emails before deciding enough was enough. I brought up Ethan’s contact and prepared to call him. Just as I was about to press the dial button, the front door of the house opened. Ethan emerged, his face set in a scowl, his tie askew like he’d gotten dressed in a hurry. He trudged down the stairs, dragging his feet as if walking was the hardest thing he’d

~NathanielThe morning sunlight filtered through the curtains, its golden rays dancing across the bed. I stretched, feeling a satisfying ache in my muscles from the night before. The wedding had been a whirlwind of emotions, dancing, drinking, and celebrating. But what topped it all was the fact that I was now married to Sophia—the love of my life. I glanced over at her, her bare shoulders peeking out from beneath the blanket, her hair cascading in messy waves over the pillow. She looked peaceful, like an angel. I smiled to myself, my chest swelling with happiness. I couldn’t believe she was mine. Quietly, I slid out of bed, careful not to wake her. I needed to make this morning special for the newest Mrs. James. “Alright, Nathaniel,” I muttered under my breath as I padded toward the bathroom. “Time to show your wife that chivalry isn’t dead.” After brushing my teeth and splashing cold water on my face to shake off the lingering grogginess, I grabbed my phone from the nightsta

~SophiaI sat at the table, picking at the last bits of the delicious breakfast Nathaniel had prepared. My mind raced, wondering what surprise he had up his sleeve this time. Nathaniel was always full of surprises, but the glint in his eyes earlier told me this one was special. I shoved a forkful of food into my mouth, barely chewing as I stared at him. My cheeks puffed out like a chipmunk, and I knew I looked ridiculous. Nathaniel’s laugh echoed in the room, hearty and amused. “Seriously, Sophia,” he said, shaking his head, “you look like a squirrel storing nuts for winter.” I tried to say something witty, but with all the food in my mouth, it came out as an unintelligible mumble. Nathaniel doubled over, laughing even harder. “Don’t choke, please,” he teased. I grabbed my glass of water, gulping it down to help with the digestion. But the liquid went the wrong way, and I started coughing uncontrollably. Nathaniel was beside me in an instant, patting my back gently. “Take

~SophiaThe morning sunlight poured in through the wide glass windows of James Enterprises, illuminating the pristine white marble floors and gleaming metal accents that decorated the office space. I stepped out of the elevator onto the executive floor, the soft hum of productivity filling the air. My heels clicked against the floor, each sound a reminder of the new chapter I was stepping into. Today was my first day as Head of Marketing, and my nerves were a jumbled mess of excitement and fear. Nathaniel’s faith in me felt overwhelming at times. Did I deserve this? Would I be able to prove him right? These thoughts had swirled in my mind since last night, but now, standing here, I forced myself to push them aside. I clutched my briefcase tightly, walking toward the office that Nathaniel had personally shown me two days ago. The gold plaque on the door glinted in the sunlight, reading: Sophia James, Head of Marketing. I stopped for a moment, just staring at it. My name. My title.

~SophiaThe sun dipped low in the sky, casting a warm, golden hue over Nathaniel’s sprawling estate. The pool shimmered under the evening light, and there he was, effortlessly lounging in the water like some kind of Greek god. His dark hair was slicked back, water droplets clinging to his skin as he sipped from a glass of wine. The sight of him made my breath hitch. Nathaniel had a way of owning any space he was in, and this poolside scene was no exception. He turned his head slightly, catching me watching from the edge of the patio. “Are you just going to stand there, or are you going to join me?” he called out, a playful grin tugging at his lips. I smirked, slipping off my sandals. “Maybe I’m just enjoying the view.” His laugh echoed across the water, rich and deep. “Well, I’m enjoying mine too. So come closer, Mrs. James.” Taking a deep breath, I stepped down the stone path toward the pool, my confidence growing with each step. The bikini I’d chosen for the evening hugged

~SophiaI woke up early, the morning light streaming through the curtains, painting our bedroom in soft hues. Nathaniel stirred beside me, pulling me closer, his arms wrapping around me like a warm cocoon. “You’re up early,” he murmured, his voice still thick with sleep. I forced a smile, brushing a strand of hair from his forehead. “I need to get some boxes for our trip tomorrow. You know, for packing.” He opened one eye, a teasing grin spreading across his face. “Boxes? Are you sure you’re not sneaking out to get me a surprise gift?” I laughed, masking the tension coiling in my stomach. “I guess you’ll just have to wait and see.” Nathaniel sat up, his toned chest catching the morning sun. “Don’t take too long. We need to start packing. Remember, our flight’s early.” I froze, feigning surprise. “Oh, so we’re flying commercial? What happened to the private jet?” He leaned back, smirking. “I miss flying with regular people. It’s been years since I experienced the chaos of

~SophiaMy blood boiled as I drove home, gripping the steering wheel so tightly my knuckles turned white. The nerve of that snake, Ethan. After everything I’d done for him—after I’d ruined part of my life to save his! He thought he could blackmail me? Destroy my marriage? Oh, he was about to learn a lesson he wouldn’t forget. I parked in the driveway and stepped out of my car, slamming the door shut. My eyes landed on Ethan’s precious baby: his car. A sleek, black Aston Martin, freshly waxed, glinting in the sunlight like a trophy he didn’t deserve. The car was practically an extension of his ego. He pampered it like a newborn, washing it twice a week and forbidding anyone else from even leaning on it. A slow, wicked smile crept across my face. “Well, well, well,” I murmured, trailing my fingers along the smooth, cool metal. “Look at you, shining like a diamond. What a shame if something were to… tarnish you.” I could already picture Ethan’s face when he saw it, his jaw dropping

~SophiaThe airport was buzzing with life—families hugging goodbye, travelers dragging suitcases, and announcements echoing through the massive space. Nathaniel and I walked hand in hand through the crowd, his firm grip on my hand a grounding force. I tried to focus on the excitement of the trip, but my stomach was in knots. We checked in and made our way to the boarding gate. Nathaniel looked as calm as ever, his usual confident self, while I was quietly praying this trip wouldn’t turn into a disaster. Once our boarding group was called, we walked onto the plane. Nathaniel led the way, and I followed, expecting to be directed to the economy section, as he had joked the day before. But when we stopped in the business class cabin, my jaw dropped. “Wait,” I whispered, tugging on his arm. “This isn’t economy.” Nathaniel grinned, his boyish charm lighting up his face. “Did you really think I’d let my wife fly economy? I just wanted to see your reaction.” “You’re unbelievable!” I

~NathanielThe moment I stepped into my bedroom, I loosened my tie, exhaling deeply. The dinner had been exhausting—hours of forced smiles, polite greetings, and pretending I gave a damn about Isabella’s grand return. If it were up to me, I would have canceled the entire affair. But appearances had to be maintained. The public expected it. The media expected it. And most of all, Isabella expected it. But none of that mattered now. Because as I stood there, unbuttoning the top of my shirt, she walked in. Sophia. Still draped in that orange gown that had my entire world tilting on its axis. My eyes followed her every move, drinking her in like a man starved. The way the dress hugged her curves, the way her hips swayed ever so slightly with each step—it was like she knew exactly what she was doing to me. Damn her. She glanced at me, a knowing smile playing on her lips. "What?" I smirked, tossing my tie onto the chair. "You know what." Her laughter was soft, teasing. "I

~NathanielIf it were up to me, this dinner wouldn't be happening. But I didn’t have the luxury of making that choice—not when the entire city expected it. A powerful man like me couldn’t afford to be seen as ungrateful, especially when my ex-wife—no, my wife—had returned after years of absence. The public had to see this as a joyous reunion, a celebration of family. So here I was, hosting an elaborate dinner party in honor of Isabella’s return, putting on a show for the world. The grand dining hall was alight with golden chandeliers, their crystals glinting in the soft glow of candlelight centerpieces. Laughter and chatter filled the air, accompanied by the soft melody of a string quartet playing in the corner. Guests dressed in their finest attire mingled, sipping wine and exchanging pleasantries. The scent of roasted lamb, honey-glazed vegetables, and freshly baked bread wafted through the room, mingling with the rich aroma of aged wine. And then, there was Sophia. Dressed in

~SophiaI stood outside, tapping my foot against the tiled porch, my arms crossed as I glared at the empty backyard. The sun was setting, casting a golden glow over the mansion, but I was too irritated to enjoy the view. The maids had forgotten—again—to take Lily’s clothes out of the laundry before closing for the day. I huffed, mumbling under my breath as I bent down to pick up the small basket of half-dried clothes. “I swear, if I have to remind them one more time—” A gust of wind blew past me, making one of Lily’s tiny dresses slip from the basket. It was almost on the ground when— A hand caught it. I froze. My eyes followed the hand, trailing up the long fingers, the muscular arm, the broad chest… until I met a pair of familiar hazel eyes. Ethan. My grip on the basket tightened. Of all the people I expected to see here, he was the last. I stepped forward and yanked the dress from his hand. “I’ve got it,” I muttered. Ignoring him, I continued gathering Lily’s cl

~EthanI stood in the parking lot, hands stuffed into my pockets, trying to steady my nerves. The sun was setting, casting an orange glow over the house. Nathaniel had just arrived home, stepping out of his sleek black car when I called out to him. “Dad,” I said, my voice firm. “I need to talk to you.” Nathaniel raised a brow, shutting his car door with a thud. “Sounds serious.” “It is.” He studied me for a moment before nodding. “Alright. Let’s talk inside.” I followed him into the house, my heart pounding with every step. I had been waiting for this conversation for a long time. Waiting for the truth. We stepped into the living room, but just as I opened my mouth to speak, my breath caught in my throat. Sophia. She was walking down the grand staircase, her soft curls bouncing with each step, her delicate hands brushing against the railing. But that wasn’t what made my heart stop. It was the dress. A silky, emerald-green dress that fit her perfectly. A dress I

~NathanielThe faint hum of the air conditioning filled my office, blending with the rhythmic tapping of my fingers on the mahogany desk. Jeremy, my assistant, sat across from me, a notepad in his hand and that perpetually eager look on his face. "Sir, we’ve confirmed the deal with Harrington Enterprises. The papers just need your signature," he said, sliding the folder toward me. I flipped it open, scanning the pages. "Good. This partnership has been long overdue. Anything else on the agenda?" Jeremy cleared his throat. "There’s also the charity gala next week. Mrs. James asked if you’d be willing to give the opening speech." I couldn’t help but smile at the mention of Sophia. "Of course. Let her know I’ll handle it." Jeremy nodded, scribbling on his notepad. "And about the—" The door swung open suddenly, cutting him off. My gaze darted up, and there she was—Isabella. She stepped in like she owned the room, her hips swaying with deliberate confidence. Her figure was wra

~EthanI carried the small tray with my mother’s pills balanced in one hand, a glass of water in the other. I’d made this same trip every day since she came back, but today felt different. This morning, she’d looked pale and fragile, like someone made of glass. She’d barely said a word when I checked on her earlier, lying there under the covers, barely moving.But now... The moment I opened the door to her room, I froze. There she was, sitting on the edge of her bed, brushing her hair with deliberate care. But she didn’t look like the mother I’d grown used to these past two days. No, this version of her was something else entirely—alive, radiant, like she’d stepped straight out of a memory from 25 years ago. Her skin glowed, her hair shimmered like spun gold, and the dark circles that had clung to her eyes were gone. She looked... young. Beautiful. Not like the woman who had stumbled back into our lives, broken and distant. The tray in my hands wobbled. She noticed me then, he

~SophiaThe phone rested between my shoulder and ear as I paced the living room, trying to organize the mess of toys Lily had scattered everywhere. Martha’s voice crackled on the other end. "So, how are you feeling about it? I mean... Nathaniel’s ex-wife is back. That’s a lot to deal with," Martha asked, her voice laced with curiosity and concern. I rolled my eyes, placing one of Lily’s stuffed bears on the shelf. "I’m unbothered, honestly. I know why she’s here, Martha. It’s obvious she’s here to fight me, but she’s wasting her time." "You think so?" Martha’s skepticism was evident. "I thought they said she went missing years ago?" I sighed, picking up another stuffed animal from the floor. "That’s the story they told everyone, but Nathaniel told me the truth. She left on her own, Martha. She just walked out on him—no warning, no explanation. It was never his fault. And now she’s back, probably because she found out that I’m married to Nathaniel now. And you know the craziest

~NathanielThe morning sunlight streamed into the dining room, highlighting the polished surface of the table set for breakfast. Sophia sat to my right, Lily to my left, her small legs swinging back and forth as the maids moved swiftly, placing dishes of food before us. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee, warm pastries, and sizzling bacon filled the air. Lily clapped her hands in excitement as her plate was set down. “Pancakes!” she squealed, her smile lighting up the room. I chuckled, watching her dig in. “Do you like them, princess?” I asked, cutting into my own stack of pancakes. “I love them!” she said between bites. “Uncle Nate, can we have these every day?” I grinned. “If that’s what you want, consider it done. What about the clothes I got for you yesterday? Did you like those too?” Her eyes lit up, syrup dripping from her fork. “Yes! Especially the sparkly shoes. I felt like a princess!” I laughed, feeling a sense of pride swell in my chest. “Well, you are a princes

~NathanielI clenched my fists at my sides, the words catching in my throat. She was playing a game—she always played games—but I wasn’t the same man she used to manipulate. Still, seeing her here in my home, addressing me as if nothing had happened, had me completely off balance. "I’ll ask you again," I said, my voice low and sharp this time. "What are you doing here?" I stood there, my feet planted firmly on the hardwood floor, watching Isabella’s lips curl into a smile that had once made my world spin. Now, it felt like a dagger piercing the calm I had finally built in my life. "What are you doing in my house, Isabella?" I asked again, my voice sharper this time. She didn’t answer immediately. Instead, she stood, staring at me with an unreadable expression, the silence stretching until it became unbearable. Then, with a slow, deliberate turn, she headed for the door. I frowned, following her movement as she opened it and gestured outside. Moments later, a man in a black s
