Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Chapter 15: A Fragile Truce
The silence in the opulent master bedroom was thick enough to cut with a knife. I lay nestled in the massive four-poster bed, the luxurious sheets offering little comfort against the turmoil within me.The events of the night replayed in my mind like a fast-forwarded movie – the masked intruder, Louise getting hurt, the cryptic words about Project Nightingale. Most importantly, the unspoken tension between myself and Alexander.He stood by the window, his back to me, his silhouette bathed in the soft moonlight filtering through the drapes. Every muscle in his body seemed coiled with tension, a stark contrast to his usual controlled demeanor."You should get some sleep," he finally said, his voice low and rough.I scoffed. "Easy for you to say, Mr. Billionaire Secrets. While you get to brood by the window, I'm left here drowning in confusion."He turned, his gaze sharp. "There's a lot I can't tell you yet, Ava. It's for your own safety.""Safety from what?" I shot back, frustration bub

The image on the screen burned into my retinas, a horrifying truth unfolding before my eyes. My twin sister, Sarah, unconscious and injured, at the scene of an attack on the billionaire I was inexplicably married to.Confusion and fear battled within me. Sarah? Here? Involved in this mess? But how? And why?The world around me seemed to shrink, the air thick with unspoken questions. Alexander's face was a mask of barely contained fury, his jaw clenched tight. John watched me, his expression a mix of concern and unease."What…what does this mean?" I stammered, my voice barely a whisper.Alexander remained silent for a moment, his eyes locked on the image of my unconscious sister. Finally, he turned to me, his voice strained. "I don't know, Ava. But we're about to find out.""But how is this even possible?" I cried, frustration bubbling over. "I haven't spoken to Sarah in years! We don't even get along!"He sighed, his gaze softening slightly. "There's a lot you don't know about your pa

The chilling whisper echoed in the room, a phantom voice stirring a storm of emotions within me. "Ava," it had rasped, "It's time you remembered who you truly are."My gaze darted between Alexander, his jaw clenched with fury, and Dr. Evans, her face a mask of concern. The phone felt heavy in Alexander's hand, a conduit to a past I desperately wanted to uncover, yet simultaneously dreaded."Who was that?" I stammered, fear knotting my stomach.Alexander slammed the phone onto the table, his eyes blazing. "I don't know," he growled, the controlled facade he usually wore now shattered. "But they clearly know more about you than you do."My breath caught in my throat. This anonymous caller, was it Sarah? And if so, why the cryptic message? Was she trying to warn me or manipulate me?"What did they say?" Dr. Evans pressed, her voice a beacon of calm amidst the rising tension.Alexander hesitated, then repeated the chilling words, his voice tight. "'Ava,' they said, 'It's time you remember

The room spun, the news of Sarah's disappearance hitting me like a physical blow. My heart hammered against my ribs, each beat a frantic drum echoing the fear twisting in my gut."Gone?" I whispered, the word catching in my throat. "How could she be gone?"Alexander's face was a mask of fury, his jaw clenched tight. He barked a series of orders at John, his voice taut with urgency. Commands to activate emergency protocols, to lock down the entire estate, to scour every inch of the property.The room crackled with a sense of urgency, a storm brewing within the gilded cage. Fear clawed at me, a chilling realization settling in. Sarah wasn't just gone; she'd been taken."Who would do this?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.John, his face etched with worry, shook his head. "We don't know yet, Ava. But whoever it is, they knew what they were doing."The implications of his words hung heavy in the air. This wasn't a random act. Someone had orchestrated Sarah's escape, someone who k

The revelation about Project Nightingale hung heavy in the air, a dark cloud obscuring the fragile trust building between me and Alexander. His words echoed in my mind: "We'll find Sarah, and we'll uncover the truth about your past, together."Together. The word held a strange resonance, a flicker of hope battling against the ocean of doubt churning within me. Could I truly trust the man who might have been involved in erasing my past?Before I could dwell on my anxieties any further, a knock rapped sharply on the door. A young woman in a crisp white uniform entered, her face apologetic."Excuse me, Mrs. Reynolds," she said, her voice polite yet firm. "Mr. Reynolds has requested your presence.""My presence?" I echoed, surprise lacing my voice. "Why?""He… he has a surprise for you," the young woman stammered, her cheeks flushing slightly.Surprise? The last thing I expected was a surprise, especially after the bombshell Alexander had just dropped.Intrigued, and desperate for a distr

The word hung heavy in the air, a dark revelation echoing in the opulent silence of the department store. "A weapon," I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. "What does that even mean?"Alexander's face was a mask of grim determination. "It means Sarah wasn't just your twin," he explained, his voice tight. "She was your partner. Both of you were trained from a young age, trained for something… specific."My head spun, the luxurious surroundings blurring into a dizzying kaleidoscope. Partner? Trained? The life I thought I knew, the life of a carefree artist, crumbled into dust. Who was I, really?"But why?" I stammered, a desperate plea escaping my lips. "Why would anyone…"He cut me off, his hand reaching out to grip mine. His touch, surprisingly gentle, offered little comfort in the face of this terrifying revelation."I don't have all the answers yet, Ava," he admitted. "But I'm determined to find them. This file… it's a start. Maybe it holds the key to unlocking your past."My

The explosion jolted me back to reality. My heart hammered against my ribs, adrenaline still coursing through my veins. The smoke filled the air, obscuring the attackers' forms, turning the elegant foyer into a scene of war."What the…" I coughed, squinting through the haze. A sense of desperate hope flickered within me. Perhaps this was our chance, a way to escape this nightmare."Ava!" A hand grasped my arm, pulling me back. Through the smoke, I saw Sarah's terrified face. "We need to get out of here!"Without a moment's hesitation, I nodded. Grabbing her hand, I propelled us through the smoke-filled room. The attackers coughed and sputtered, momentarily disoriented. We weaved between the stunned security guards and unconscious figures, desperate to find an escape route."This way!" John shouted, appearing out of the haze. His face was contorted in a grimace, a fresh cut bleeding above his eye.We followed him, racing towards the back of the mansion. The pounding of footsteps echoed

The doctor's scream echoed in the sterile room, a chilling counterpoint to the pulsing red light emanating from the fallen detonator. Time seemed to stretch, every second a hammer blow against my already frayed nerves.Alexander, locked in a struggle with the intruder, grunted in frustration. The figure, surprisingly agile for their size, fought back with a ferocity born of desperation. Their face remained hidden in the shadows, adding to the sense of impending doom."Get back!" I shouted, a primal urge to protect myself and the others taking over. The adrenaline fueled the skills buried deep within me, the same skills the file had revealed.Without a conscious thought, I lunged forward, tackling the figure from behind. We crashed to the floor in a tangle of limbs, the detonator slipping further from Alexander's grasp."Ava, no!" Sarah cried, her voice barely a whisper. Panic flickered in her eyes, a reflection of my own mounting terror."Stay back!" I yelled, locking my arms around t

He had been unusually quiet, his brow furrowed in concentration. Ava looked up from the documents scattered before her, noticing the intensity in his gaze.“Jackson, are you okay?” Ava asked, her voice filled with concern.Jackson took a sip of his coffee before answering. “I’m just trying to make sense of everything.
