Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Chapter 25: A World Beyond
"Not on Earth?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. "What do you mean, not on Earth?"Alexander's face was a mask of grim determination. "According to John's contact, Dr. Wright is currently… on Mars."My mind reeled. Mars? The scientist who held the key to our past, the truth about Project Nightingale, was on another planet? The situation had just gone from dangerous to utterly surreal."Mars?" Sarah echoed, her voice laced with disbelief. "How is that even possible?""Apparently, Dr. Wright was instrumental in developing a top-secret program," Alexander explained, his voice tight. "A program focused on establishing a permanent human colony on Mars.""Project Nightingale?" I asked, a spark of intuition igniting within me.He nodded curtly. "It seems Project Nightingale wasn't just about advanced technology. It was about space exploration, about humanity's next step."Suddenly, the fragmented picture started to come together. Project Nightingale, the hidden weapons

"A prototype teleportation device?" I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. John's explanation about Dr. Wright's unconventional travel method had left me speechless. Teleportation? Was this some elaborate joke?"It's classified technology," John confirmed, his voice devoid of his usual humor. "Developed for Project Nightingale. Apparently, Dr. Wright has been refining it in secret on Mars.""Refining it?" Sarah echoed, her eyes wide with apprehension. "What does that even mean? Is it safe?"John shrugged, a flicker of unease crossing his face. "There's always a risk with experimental technology. But Dr. Wright assured me the prototype has undergone extensive testing.""Extensive testing?" I scoffed. "On who? Lab rats?"John opened his mouth to reply, but Alexander cut him off. "We don't have a choice, Ava. This is the only way to reach Dr. Wright and potentially uncover the truth."His gaze held a flicker of understanding, a hint of the fear that mirrored my own. But there was a

Grasping the weapon in my hand, a cold sweat slicked my palms. It felt like a cheap plastic toy compared to the heavy-duty rifles aimed at us. But it was all we had.Sarah, her face pale with fear, squeezed past me and plunged into the narrow passage. I followed close behind, the stale air thick with the smell of dust and desperation.The tunnel was cramped and dimly lit, barely wide enough for us to squeeze through single file. The metallic clanging of our pursuers' boots echoed behind us, growing closer with each passing moment."How far is this exit?" I gasped, struggling to keep pace with Dr. Wright."Not far," she replied, her voice strained. "Just a few more turns…"Her words were punctuated by another explosion that shook the tunnel, showering us with debris. Fear gnawed at my insides, urging me to turn back. But the thought of facing those armed figures filled me with a terror that propelled me forward.After what felt like an eternity, the passage opened into a small cavern.

"Ava! Get down!"Alexander's roar echoed through the cavern, snapping me out of my paralyzed state. He lunged towards me, pushing me to the ground with a force that knocked the breath out of my lungs. The blinding light momentarily faded, plunging us back into darkness."What is it?" I gasped, scrambling to my feet."Don't look!" he shouted, his voice tight with urgency. "Just stay down!"Confusion and fear warred within me. Who was attacking us? What was happening?Then, a voice cut through the darkness, smooth and cultured, a stark contrast to the guttural growls that had come before."Well, well," the voice drawled. "Look what we have here. Alexander Kingston, always with the unexpected surprises."My heart skipped a beat. I recognized that voice. It belonged to none other than Damien West, Alexander's childhood friend turned bitter rival.Betrayal coursed through me, a bitter aftertaste in my mouth. Damien, a guest at our wedding, had somehow followed us to Mars. But why? What did

Silence descended upon the cavern, thick and heavy. The flickering glow from the control panel cast grotesque shadows on the walls, remnants of the chaos that had just unfolded. Rex and the alien creature were gone, vanished in a flash of blue light.Dr. Wright remained motionless on the ground, surrounded by a faint blue aura emanating from the device on her chest. Panic clawed at my throat. Was she… dead?"Dr. Wright!" I screamed, scrambling towards her. Beside me, Sarah whimpered in pain, her arm cradled close to her body. Alexander, his face etched with concern, followed close behind me.As I reached Dr. Wright's side, I knelt beside her, fear making my hands tremble. Her chest rose and fell with shallow breaths, a faint pulse fluttering beneath her fingertips. Relief washed over me in waves, so powerful it brought tears to my eyes."She's alive," I whispered, turning to look at Alexander. "But barely."He knelt beside me, his hand brushing against mine for a fleeting moment, send

"This place is creepy," Sarah whispered, her voice barely a tremor in the oppressive silence of the tunnel. We huddled together, our bodies a source of comfort in the dank, metallic environment.The stale air hung heavy with the smell of rust and something… else. A faint metallic tang that sent shivers down my spine."Don't worry," Alexander said, his voice low and reassuring. "We'll get out of here." But even his words lacked their usual conviction, edged with a hint of uncertainty.The tunnel stretched before us, a narrow corridor of darkness punctuated only by the faint glow emanating from my phone held aloft.The metal walls were cold and damp to the touch, the silence broken only by the dripping of condensation and the ragged gasps of Dr. Wright, who leaned heavily against Alexander's side.We moved at a slow pace, each step echoing through the tunnel like a death knell. Fear gnawed at me, manifesting as a knot of tension in my stomach. What secrets did this hidden passage hold?

Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Unexpected Alliance
The following morning arrived with a renewed sense of urgency. Ava and Jackson had hardly slept, their minds racing with strategies and possible scenarios. They were both eager to see how the media would continue to cover the fallout from Evans’s press conference and whether their efforts would make a lasting impact.Jackson was up early, already reviewing the latest news updates on his laptop. Ava, still groggy, joined him at the kitchen table, where the smell of fresh coffee provided a comforting backdrop to their tense conversation.“Any new developments?” Ava asked, her voice still heavy with sleep.Jackson looked up, his expression serious. “The media coverage is escalating. Evans’s team is scrambling to manage the damage control. There’s a lot of speculation about his future with the company.”Ava poured herself a cup of coffee and sat down next to him. “That’s good news, but we can’t let our guard down. He’s bound to try something drastic to shift the narrative.”Just then, Jac
Accidentally Married to the Billionaire The Truth
Ava awoke to the soft rays of sunlight streaming through the curtains, casting a warm glow over the room. She turned to see Jackson already awake, his eyes focused on the laptop in his lap. The tension from the previous night had not yet dissipated, and both were eager to see the full impact of their efforts."Morning," Jackson said, glancing up as Ava stirred. "Looks like the media is starting to pick up on the story."Ava sat up, rubbing her eyes. "Good morning. Any major updates?"Jackson tapped a few keys and turned the screen towards her. News headlines flashed across the screen, some of them already featuring stories about Evans’s questionable activities. The coverage was beginning to shift, with investigative reports and interviews bringing Evans’s unethical practices into the spotlight."It looks like our plan is working," Jackson said, his tone a mix of relief and satisfaction. "But we need to stay vigilant. Evans won’t take this lying down."Ava nodded, her anxiety slightly
Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Doubts
Ava woke up with a start, her heart racing. The shadows of the night were still clinging to the room, and the uneasy silence was only broken by the distant hum of the security system. Jackson was beside her, asleep but tense, his face set in lines of worry even in rest.The events of the previous day were still fresh in Ava’s mind—the confrontation with Marcus and the startling revelations about Evans’s plans. As she slipped out of bed and padded softly to the kitchen, she tried to calm her racing thoughts. The fight was far from over, and they needed a solid plan to counter Evans's next moves.Claire had been working tirelessly to gather more evidence, but Ava knew they needed to act swiftly. If they didn’t get ahead of Evans, the public’s perception could be swayed beyond repair.By the time Jackson joined her in the kitchen, Ava had already brewed a pot of coffee. She looked up as he entered, his eyes bleary but determined.“Morning,” he said, his voice rough with sleep.Ava offere

Ava stared at the darkened sky from the window of the secure house, her thoughts tangled in worry and determination. The threats against Eddy had added a new layer of urgency to their mission. They couldn’t afford to falter, not with their family and their future on the line.Jackson joined her, his presence a comforting anchor in the storm of emotions swirling within her. “We’ll get through this, Ava,” he said softly, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder.She turned to face him, her eyes reflecting the fatigue and resolve that had become their constant companions. “I know. But I can’t help but worry about what Evans might do next.”Jackson nodded, his expression serious. “We need to stay one step ahead of him. We have to focus on gathering more evidence and making sure that everything we’ve uncovered is used effectively.”They spent the next few hours reviewing their strategy and preparing for the press release. Claire had arranged for a high-profile press conference to address
Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Under the Surface
The early morning sunlight filtered through the heavy curtains of the secure house, casting soft rays across the room. Ava stirred from her sleep, feeling Jackson’s warm presence beside her. They had spent a restless night, both haunted by the events of the past few days. Jackson had fallen into an uneasy sleep, his arm draped protectively around her.As Ava carefully extricated herself from Jackson’s embrace, she moved quietly to the kitchen. She needed a moment of solitude to gather her thoughts before diving back into their high-stakes investigation. She brewed a pot of coffee, the rich aroma filling the kitchen and providing a comforting normalcy amidst the chaos.Her mind was racing. The knowledge that Richard Evans had a surveillance operation targeting them was both alarming and motivating. They were no longer just dealing with a corporate rival; they were up against a powerful and ruthless individual who would stop at nothing to achieve his goals.A few minutes later, Jackson
Accidentally Married to the Billionaire The Unveiling
The morning sun had just started to cast its golden hues over the horizon when Ava and Jackson sat at their kitchen table, surrounded by a myriad of documents, photos, and notes. The previous day’s meeting with David Collins had left them with more questions than answers, but it had also provided crucial leads. They knew the time had come to delve deeper into the enigmatic world of Richard Evans and his shadowy network.Jackson poured two cups of coffee, placing one in front of Ava. 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. David’s information points to a larger operation, but it’s still unclear what their endgame is.”Ava nodded, understanding his frustration. “We need to find out more about Richard Evans and h
Accidentally Married to the Billionaire A Hidden Agenda
The morning sun peeked through the curtains of the secure house, casting a soft light over the room. Ava and Jackson were already up, their minds focused on the next steps in their investigation. The tension of the previous night still hung in the air, but they were determined to press on.Jackson paced the room while Ava sat at the dining table, poring over the decrypted emails and documents. The connection between the covert operation and their recent troubles was becoming clearer, but there were still many unanswered questions.“Any new insights?” Jackson asked, his voice breaking the silence.Ava looked up from her laptop, her eyes tired but resolute. “I’m starting to piece together the links between the people at the warehouse and some high-profile corporate figures. It looks like there’s a large-scale operation involving multiple parties.”Jackson frowned. “This is bigger than we thought. If these people are as connected as they seem, we need to be extremely careful.”Ava nodded
Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Unraveling the Truth
The night was thick with tension as Ava and Jackson ventured into the darkness, their minds racing with the urgency of their situation. The eerie silence was occasionally broken by the distant hum of city traffic and the occasional rustle of leaves in the breeze. Marcus’s unexpected appearance had left them on edge, and they were acutely aware that their every move might be monitored.Jackson drove through the dimly lit streets, his jaw clenched in determination. Ava sat beside him, her thoughts a whirlpool of fear and resolve. The documents they had obtained from the law firm were spread out on the passenger seat, and she occasionally glanced at them, trying to piece together the puzzle they had inadvertently stumbled into.“I can’t shake the feeling that we’re missing something important,” Ava said, her voice low and anxious. “The documents mention several names and companies, but they’re all interconnected in a way that doesn’t make sense.”Jackson’s grip tightened on the steering
Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Shadows of Betrayal
The sleek, glass doors of the law firm closed behind Ava and Jackson with a soft whoosh, sealing them in a world of high-stakes legal battles and hidden agendas. The office was pristine and intimidating, filled with the polished veneer of corporate power.Jackson's expression was steely as he led Ava through the corridors, his mind racing with thoughts of Marcus and the new threats they faced. Ava walked beside him, her heart pounding with anxiety but also determination. The latest message on her phone, coupled with Marcus’s escape, had pushed them into overdrive. They needed answers, and they needed them fast.The junior partner, Daniel, met them in the lobby with a welcoming but guarded smile. “I’ve spoken with my superiors,” he said, ushering them into a conference room. “They’re willing to discuss your concerns, but I must warn you, this is highly unusual.”As they settled into their seats, Jackson leaned forward, his voice low and measured. “We’re trying to uncover a link between
