Accidentally Married to the Billionaire Chapter 49: A Knock in the Night
"Jackson, wait!" Ava cried, her voice laced with urgency. She rushed towards him, her heart pounding a frantic rhythm against her ribs. The fear in his eyes mirrored her own, a stark contrast to the growing connection they'd shared just moments ago.He paused, turning back to look at her with a worried frown. "Stay back," he said, his voice low and firm. He moved closer to the door, his hand instinctively reaching for the pocket where Ava knew he kept a spare pistol."No," she argued, her voice trembling slightly. "Let me handle it."Jackson's brow furrowed in surprise. "Ava, this isn't safe.""Neither is keeping secrets," she countered, her gaze unwavering. The document on the laptop, with its weight of ethical concerns, had shifted something inside her. She couldn't stand by passively anymore. This wasn't just about her father's legacy; it was about potential consequences that could impact countless lives."Ava," Jackson began, his voice laced with frustration, but she silenced him

The cool night air slapped Ava in the face as she emerged from the apartment building alongside Jackson. The city lights seemed to shimmer with an eerie glow, reflecting the turmoil within her. Just hours ago, her life had been a whirlwind of deadlines and coffee runs. Now, she was entangled in a web of secrets, facing the unknown with a man she barely knew.They walked in silence for a while, the only sound the rhythmic click of their shoes on the pavement.

He seemed burdened by a weight far heavier than the briefcase clutched in his hand."Where are we going?" she finally asked, her voice barely a whisper.He stopped and turned to face her, his gaze intense. "There's a safe house," he explained, his voice low and gruff. "A place where you'll be safe.""Safe from what?" she countered, her frustration bubbling over. "And why all the secrecy, Jackson? Don't I deserve to know what's going on?"He let out

"They're playing God," the distorted voice echoed in the small apartment, the weight of the words hanging heavy in the air. Ava stared at the holographic image, a cold dread settling in her stomach. Her father, the man she barely knew, was suddenly a voice from beyond the grave, warning of a dangerous secret.Jackson shut off the recording with a click, the silence returning thick and heavy. He looked at Ava, his jaw clenched tight, his eyes filled with a turmoil she couldn't decipher."That was… my father," Ava finally whispered, her voice barely audible.Jackson nodded, his expression grim. "He knew more about Project Genesis than he ever let on," he said, his voice strained. "And it seems he was trying to expose it."Ava's mind reeled. Her father, a man who seemingly devoted his life to chasing stories on local politics, was secretly investigating a top-secret project with potentially devastating consequences. What had he gotten himself into? And how had he obtained this recording?

Ava met Jackson's gaze, his dark eyes holding a depth she hadn't noticed before. It was a mix of concern, determination, and a spark of something else – something she couldn't quite decipher."We need to be careful," he repeated, his voice husky and low. His words hung in the air, carrying a weight that sent shivers down her spine.Ava swallowed the lump in her throat. Being thrust into the middle of a dangerous conspiracy with a billionaire who was also her accidental husband had thrown her world into chaos. But amidst the fear and uncertainty, she couldn't deny the strange sense of connection she felt with Jackson."I know," she finally managed to say, her voice barely a whisper. "And we need to figure out what happened to Sarah. That accident…"Her voice trailed off, the suspicion in Jackson's voice echoing in her own mind. Was it really just an accident, or was there something more to it?"I'll look into it," Jackson promised, his voice firm despite the weariness in his eyes. "But

The faint beam of Jackson's headlamp pierced the darkness, revealing a gaping hole in the perimeter fence. It was their entry point, a crude opening that suggested someone else might have been here before them."Looks like we're not the first," Jackson murmured, his voice low and cautious.Ava swallowed the lump in her throat. Another unwanted visitor increased the risk factor, adding a layer of uncertainty to their already dangerous mission."What if it's them?" she whispered, her voice laced with apprehension. "The people behind Project Genesis?"Jackson shook his head. "Unlikely. This looks more like a scavenger's work. But we need to be even more careful now."He gestured for Ava to follow, leading the way through the hole in the fence. They found themselves in a desolate wasteland of cracked pavement and overgrown weeds. The skeletal remains of buildings rose around them, shadows dancing in the dim light.Following Jackson's lead, Ava moved cautiously, her senses on high alert. E

The safe house felt like a haven after the heart-pounding escape from the abandoned complex. Ava sank onto the worn couch, exhaustion finally catching up to her. The adrenaline that had fueled her during the chase had faded, leaving behind a tremor in her limbs and a hollowness in her stomach.Jackson, ever the efficient one, was already on the move. He paced the room, a deep furrow etched in his brow. He checked his phone, his expression tense."Anything?" Ava finally asked, her voice barely a whisper.Jackson whirled around, his eyes meeting hers. For a moment, there was a spark of something more than concern in his gaze – a flicker of something she couldn't quite decipher. Then, his expression hardened once more."Nothing yet," he admitted, his voice tight. "But they know about us. Those men at the complex – they must have reported our intrusion."Ava nodded, fear churning in her gut. Their unexpected encounter had escalated the situation to a whole new level. They were no longer s

The red light flickered off, plunging the corridor back into semi-darkness. Ava followed Jackson through the opened security gate, a mixture of relief and apprehension swirling in her stomach."Where do we go from here?" she whispered, her voice barely audible over the soft hum of the machinery.Jackson glanced down the hallway, his brow furrowed in concentration. "Miller mentioned a server room at the end of this corridor. That's where they might be keeping the data on Project Phoenix."They continued walking, their footsteps echoing in the sterile silence. The walls were lined with locked doors, each one a potential gateway to another secret. Ava found herself imagining what lay behind those doors – rows of blinking servers, cryptic research papers, evidence of the dark work being done under the guise of Project Genesis.As they neared the end of the corridor, a faint glow emanated from around the corner. Jackson stopped, holding up a hand to signal silence. He took a deep breath, h

The van screeched to a halt in front of a nondescript warehouse on the outskirts of the city. The area was deserted, the only sound the distant hum of traffic. Miller, the enigmatic hacker, stepped out of the shadows, his face a mask of weariness."Welcome," he said, his voice raspy. "This is as safe as it gets."Ava and Jackson exchanged a wary glance. The warehouse looked more like a trap than a safe haven. But they had no other choice. They followed Miller inside, the heavy metal door clanging shut behind them.The interior was a stark contrast to the cold exterior. Warm lights bathed the space, transforming the warehouse into a makeshift living area. A small kitchen, a living room with a comfortable-looking couch, and a bedroom tucked away in a corner created a surprisingly cozy atmosphere."Make yourselves at home," Miller said, gesturing towards the living room. "I'll get us some coffee."Ava and Jackson sank into the soft cushions of the couch, their bodies aching from the adre
