CHAPTER 3: AT THE AIRPORT

Olive adjusted the strap of her suitcase as she maneuvered through the crowded airport. The din of announcements over the intercom and the bustling of passengers filled the air. Her chest felt heavy, weighed down by the betrayal and heartbreak that had unraveled her life in just a matter of hours. Each step felt like she was leaving behind the fragments of a dream she had clung to for years—a life with Frank, a family she thought she could trust. But that dream was dead now, and she had to move forward.

She gripped her boarding pass tightly, as if it were her lifeline. Her destination was New York City. It wasn’t a place she’d dreamed of living, but it was far enough from the chaos she was escaping. It was a city big enough to lose herself in, to start over without the judgmental stares and whispered rumors that would undoubtedly follow her back home.

Olive inhaled deeply as she stopped at a coffee counter to order something warm. The sleepless night had drained her, leaving her jittery and emotionally frayed. As she picked up her cup and turned, she collided with someone.

Hot coffee splashed onto the floor, and her cup slipped from her hands.

“Watch where you’re going!” a deep, commanding voice barked.

Olive froze, startled. She looked up to find a tall man glaring down at her, brushing his suit jacket with an expression of irritation. He was strikingly handsome, with sharp features, piercing blue-gray eyes, and an aura of power that seemed to draw everyone’s attention. But his words were anything but charming.

“I’m sorry,” Olive managed, bending to pick up her fallen cup.

“Sorry doesn’t fix my suit,” the man snapped, still brushing at the fabric. “Do you have any idea how much this costs?”

Olive’s initial embarrassment quickly gave way to indignation. She stood up straight, meeting his glare.

“It was an accident,” she said, her tone sharper now. “And for the record, you ran into me. Maybe if you weren’t so busy looking down your nose at everyone, you’d have seen me.”

The man’s eyes narrowed, clearly not used to being spoken to that way. “Typical,” he said coldly. “Throwing yourself around, hoping someone like me will take notice. I know your type.”

Olive’s mouth fell open in shock. “Excuse me?”

“You heard me,” he said dismissively.

Olive clenched her fists, anger bubbling up inside her. “Listen, Mr. Man in Suit, I don’t know what kind of women you’re used to, but I’m not one of them. So, take your judgmental attitude and shove it.”

The man raised an eyebrow, clearly unimpressed by her outburst. “I don’t have time for this,” he said, turning on his heel and walking away without another word.

Olive watched him go, her heart racing with a mix of anger and disbelief. “What a jerk,” she muttered under her breath.

She had no idea that the man she had just clashed with was Raymond Stone—the billionaire whose sperm had been mistakenly infused in her

Raymond Stone was not having a good day. His private jet had just landed in Chicago, and his phone was already buzzing with messages from his legal team and the hospital.

The news he’d received earlier that day was still sinking in. The fertility clinic he had entrusted with one of the most important tasks of his life had made a catastrophic error.

“How does this even happen?” Raymond muttered to himself as he walked briskly through the terminal, ignoring the stares he attracted.

He had come to Chicago to confront the hospital staff in person. He wanted answers, and he wanted them immediately.

By the time he arrived at the hospital, he was seething with frustration. Dr. Harris, the head of the fertility clinic, was waiting for him in a private conference room, looking pale and nervous.

“Mr. Stone,” Dr. Harris began, his voice trembling slightly, “we deeply regret the error—”

“Spare me your apologies,” Raymond interrupted, his tone icy. “I want to know exactly how this happened. How did someone else end up being inseminated with my sperm instead of the surrogate I hired?”

Dr. Harris adjusted his glasses, clearly uncomfortable under Raymond’s intense gaze. “There was… a mix-up with the names. Two women named Olive were at the clinic that day. When we called for Miss Olive, the wrong one came forward. Our staff assumed she was the surrogate and proceeded with the procedure.”

Raymond’s jaw tightened. “You’re telling me that your staff didn’t bother to double-check? You’ve just allowed some random woman to carry my child because of a name mix-up?”

Dr. Harris looked down at his hands. “It’s an unprecedented mistake, Mr. Stone. We are taking every step to locate the woman and rectify the situation.”

“Rectify the situation?” Raymond repeated, his voice dangerously low. “You can’t undo this. That woman is carrying my child. Do you even understand the gravity of what you’ve done?”

Dr. Harris nodded quickly. “We understand, sir. We’re doing everything we can to contact her and bring her back here.”

Raymond leaned forward, his hands flat on the table. “You’d better find her, and fast. If anything happens to that child, I will hold this hospital responsible. Do I make myself clear?”

“Yes, sir,” Dr. Harris said, his voice barely above a whisper.

Raymond straightened and adjusted his suit jacket, his expression still thunderous. “Keep me updated. I want her found immediately.”

---

Olive’s flight to New York was uneventful, but her mind was anything but calm. She couldn’t stop thinking about the events of the past few days—the betrayal, the pregnancy test results, the rude stranger at the airport. Everything felt surreal, like she was living someone else’s life.

When the plane landed, she collected her luggage and stepped out into the bustling city. The noise, the energy, and the sheer size of New York were overwhelming, but Olive was determined to make it her new home.

She hailed a cab and gave the driver the address of a small hotel she had booked for the next few days. As the cab weaved through traffic, Olive stared out the window, her thoughts racing.

“What am I going to do?” she whispered to herself. She still hadn’t fully processed the pregnancy. How was it even possible? She had never been with anyone, and yet the test results were clear.

A part of her wanted to go back to the hospital and demand answers, but another part of her was too afraid of what she might find.

By the time she reached the hotel, Olive was exhausted. She checked in, carried her suitcase up to her room, and collapsed onto the bed.

She closed her eyes, trying to block out the whirlwind of emotions swirling inside her. But as sleep began to take over, one thought lingered in her mind.

Who was the father of her child?

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 4: DAD'S CALL

    Olive stood at the window of her temporary hotel room, staring out at the city that was both foreign and overwhelming. New York’s endless buzz felt like a cruel mirror of the turmoil inside her. Her fingers drummed on the edge of the windowpane as her mind reeled from everything that had unfolded.This city was supposed to be her escape. It was supposed to be a place where she could start fresh, leave her broken engagement and family betrayals behind, and figure out what to do next. But instead of finding peace, she was now saddled with a mystery pregnancy and a gnawing fear that her life was spiraling out of control.“I need to find a place,” she murmured, pacing the room. Living in a hotel felt too transient, too uncertain. She needed stability, even if only the kind a proper apartment could offer.---The search for a new home consumed most of her day. Olive wandered through neighborhoods, touring cramped apartments and overpriced studios. Nothing felt right. The city was bustling,

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 5: ARROGANT GIRL

    Olive sat in the cramped seat of the plane, her fingers tracing the outline of the leather handbag resting on her lap. She had only packed the essentials—clothes, a few personal items, and the lingering sense of uncertainty about what awaited her back in Chicago. For the first time in days, she felt a small but real sense of calm. She had made up her mind. New York was where she wanted to build her life. It would be her escape, her fresh start.The past three days in New York had done something for her—brought her peace, gave her space, and allowed her to breathe. The messages from her father had only confirmed that there was no going back to the life she had known. She wasn’t the same woman who had left Chicago, and she never would be again.As the plane touched down in Chicago, Olive stared out of the window, unsure of what she was walking into. It was hot for the middle of the afternoon, and the heat pressed against the window as the aircraft taxied to the gate. She had no intentio

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 6: COURTROOM DRAMA

    Olive left the hospital with a heavy heart. The encounter with Raymond Stone was still fresh in her mind, but she couldn’t dwell on it. She had more pressing issues to deal with. As she hailed a cab to the courthouse, her thoughts raced. She had to face Frank, her ex-fiancé, and his ridiculous demands. The very idea of compensating him for “wasting his time” felt absurd, but Olive knew she had to remain calm and strong. The courthouse loomed ahead, and as the cab stopped, Olive paid the driver and stepped out. She saw her lawyer, Henry Porter, waiting for her near the entrance. Helen gave her a reassuring smile, but Olive’s attention was quickly drawn to the two figures standing near the steps—Frank and her sister, Delilah. Delilah spotted her first and smirked, her eyes filled with mockery. She stepped forward, holding an envelope. “Oh, dear sister,” she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm, “you’re just in time. I have something special for you.” Delilah tossed the envelope at

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 7: FIGHT FOR CONTROL

    Olive stared at her phone after ending the call with Dr. Harris. Her chest tightened with anger, frustration, and disbelief. The audacity of the situation was overwhelming, and the very idea of carrying Raymond Stone’s child felt like a cruel joke. She had been an unwilling participant in someone else’s mistake. The fact that she had been accidentally inseminated with Raymond Stone’s child felt like a violation of her very being.“Surrogacy mistake,” she muttered bitterly. “As if that excuses anything.”She got up from the couch and paced the living room, her thoughts spiraling. “How could they confuse me with someone else?” she muttered. “This is my life they’re playing with!”At the same time, Dr. Harris sat in his office, staring at his phone. His palms were sweaty as he replayed Olive’s words in his mind: “Pretend it never happened. I’m terminating this child.”Before he could gather his thoughts, his phone buzzed again. The name on the screen made his stomach drop—Raymond Stone.

    Olive watched Daniel sip his coffee with deliberate calmness, his demeanor completely unbothered. The aroma of the coffee wafted toward her, and she frowned, her stomach turning. She didn’t know whether it was the smell or the situation itself, but everything about this moment felt wrong.“This feels like a waste of time,” Olive muttered under her breath, drumming her fingers on the table.Daniel glanced up from his cup, his expression unreadable. “I know you feel that way, Miss Bennett, but this meeting isn’t about wasting time. It’s about finding a resolution to this… complicated matter.”“Complicated?” she scoffed, leaning back in her chair. “That’s one way to describe it. I’d use a different word.”The smell of the coffee grew stronger as Daniel lifted the cup again, and Olive’s stomach churned violently. Her face turned pale, and she shot to her feet without another word, rushing to the restroom.Inside, she barely made it to the sink before the bile rose, and she retched uncontr

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 9: LAST SEMEN

    Olive’s thoughts swirled around her, too rapid for her to make sense of them. Her mind kept drifting back to Raymond’s unexpected appearance in her hospital room, his words lingering even as the pain in her head grew stronger. I don’t need you, she had whispered, but the truth was, part of her wanted him to stay. She closed her eyes, trying to escape the confusion in her heart, but exhaustion overcame her, and her eyelids fluttered shut, pulling her into a deep, dreamless sleep.The night passed in a blur, and as the first light of dawn crept into the room, the quiet was broken by a gentle knock on the door. A nurse entered, her presence calm and reassuring. She checked the monitors by Olive’s bed, adjusting the drip and checking her vitals.But something was wrong.The nurse’s brow furrowed as she noticed Olive’s temperature climbing. She pressed her fingers to Olive’s forehead, confirming the rising fever. Without wasting a moment, she called for assistance, and soon, a team of doct

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 10: BE A REAL MAN

    Raymond sat still, his gaze fixed on Olive as she lay unconscious in the bed, the rhythmic beep of the machines the only sound filling the sterile room. He had been here for hours, watching over her, but his mind was far from peaceful. Olive’s condition had stabilized, but the unease he felt gnawed at him. There were too many questions swirling in his head, too many things he didn’t understand about what was happening to him, to her, and to the child she carried. He couldn’t shake the feeling that something bigger than him was at play, something that threatened to unravel everything.His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door opening, and in walked the doctor. The man looked at him with a serious expression, his lips tight.“Mr. Raymond,” he said, glancing at Olive briefly before returning his attention to Raymond. “I need to speak with you in my office. It’s about Olive’s condition. There’s something important we need to discuss.”Raymond’s brow furrowed, his concern for

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 11: BEING WATCHED

    Olive was finally discharged from the hospital. The sun’s warmth touched her skin. The doctor had assured her that her condition was stable, but she needed rest and proper care. She stepped out clutching the small bag. She couldn’t bring herself to thank him. After all, her life was a mess because of him. Outside, a sleek black sedan waited. A uniformed driver stepped out, offering a polite nod as he opened the car door. “Miss Olive, Mr. Raymond has asked me to take you to the penthouse.” Olive hesitated, She had always been independent, and this sudden reliance on Raymond’s resources felt suffocating. After a moment of internal debate, she refused to entered the car, deciding she can stay on her own and do better. “Tell Mr. Raymond I can take care of myself.” Olive said to the driver. The driver’s brow furrowed, but Olive didn’t wait for his reply. She turned on her heels and hailed a cab, her resolve hardening. She wouldn’t let Raymond or anyone else control her. The ride to

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 69: OPERATION

    Ezra received a text message: They’re under watch. Raymond’s men have arrived.Ethan clenched his fists as Ezra relay the message to him, his mind racing. Was this spiraling out of control? It couldn’t be a coincidence that Mia was more agitated today. She had been waiting for this moment, and now, with Raymond’s men circling, things had turned lethal.“Mia is hell-bent on killing Olive,” Ezra whispered, his voice barely audible over the distant hum of city life. “This is bad, Ethan.”Ethan exhaled sharply, forcing himself to think. There was no room for error. They needed to be sure Olive was really their sister before doing anything else.And Mia wasn’t going to make things easy for them.We need to act fast, Ethan thought. Just then, Mia’s voice cut through his thoughts.“What’s the problem, Ethan? Can I proceed from where I stopped?” she asked, a wicked laugh curling her lips.“Mia, I think you need to be rational right now,” Ethan said, his voice measured, his eyes darting betwee

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 68: SUFFER FIRST

    Olive’s breath came in shallow gasps, but she refused to let her exhaustion show. Her body ached from the bruises, her limbs heavy with fatigue, yet her spirit stood unyielding. Her narrowed eyes locked onto Mia, who loomed over her like a predator savoring its prey."What do you want?" Olive’s voice, though hoarse, cut through the tense air like a blade.Mia smirked. "Still defiant? After everything?" She crouched slightly, her dark eyes gleaming with amusement. "That’s what I like about you, Olive. Even at your lowest, you still pretend to have control."Olive didn’t flinch. She wouldn’t. If she gave in now, it was over.Mia sighed dramatically. "You really are a stubborn little thing." Her gaze flickered to Olive’s stomach for a fraction of a second—barely noticeable, but Olive caught it.A chill ran down her spine.The unspoken threat in Mia’s stare sent ice through her veins, but she swallowed down her fear, keeping her face unreadable.Mia noticed. "Oh? That struck a nerve, didn

    “You will soon find out.” Raymond’s face tightened, his teeth grinding together. Mia’s words kept repeating in his head. They sounded like a warning, or maybe even a threat. Take him to the car. Let him see his beloved. Mia grinned as she walked away gracefully. Kain and Kerah exchanged silent glances before signaling the men to drag him forward. They held him tightly and made him walk to the car. He barely resisted as they shoved him into the backseat, wedging him between two towering brutes. The car door shut loudly, trapping him inside. The engine roared as the car sped away. The interior was silent, the only sound the hum of the wheels on the road. The city lights faded behind them, and the earlier rain had left the weather dark and quiet. Raymond’s heart pounded, his mind racing with worry. Olive.He hadn’t forgotten why he was here. Raymond seethed with anger, his fingers twitching as he tested the ropes binding him. His captors remained silent, but he could feel th

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 66: NOT OUR FIGHTS

    Raymond stares at Kain, his breath catching as memories flood back.A flashback to the family meeting: Mia introducing Kain as her "long-lost brother." His grandfather had insisted he help his "future brother-in-law" by offering him a job. Raymond had refused because Kain didn’t meet the basic requirements—he doesn’t do business based on favoritism; one must merit it. That was the first and last time he saw him.Now, standing before him, the pieces fall into place. The doctor’s face from the video surveillance—the man involved in Olive’s kidnapping—was Kain.His stomach twists. If Kain is here, that means Mia might be involved too.Raymond’s mind races, connecting his past search to his discoveries in Mia’s interactions with the fake Sonia. He had always suspected Mia, but now, with Kain in the picture, her role becomes even more suspicious.Was she working with them all along? Was everything—her concern, her visits—just an act?His blood runs cold. If Mia is involved, then she’s doin

    Raymond parked his SUV outside Wilston Warehouse. The rain had slowed to a gentle drizzle, but the sky remained dark.He gripped the steering wheel tightly. His heart pounded hard. He glanced in the mirror. There was no car or any trace of people coming. It was just him here.Something felt wrong.With a deep breath, he grabbed the document and stepped out. The rain kissed his skin with little droplets. It felt cold as ice, but that didn't matter right now.His thoughts kept drifting back to how Olive would be right now, and silently he hoped that after submitting this document, there wouldn't be any more requests.Raymond pushed the big door open. It creaked loudly, the sound echoing in the empty warehouse.Boxes and crates were stacked high, covered in dust. Rusty tools hung from the walls. The place smelled like metal and old wood.His footsteps echoed with every step. The warehouse felt empty."Olive?" he called. His voice bounced off the walls, but no one answered.Drip. Drip. Dr

  • Accidentally yours   CHAPTER 64: DO A CLEAN JOB

    Mr. Logan arrived at Raymond’s penthouse, clutching a leather-bound folder containing every copy of the Golden Island estate documents.Raymond stood by the floor-to-ceiling windows, his silhouette framed against the city’s shimmering skyline. He didn’t turn when Logan approached, but the tension in his shoulders was a dead giveaway. He already knew why Logan was there.“Here it is,” Logan said quietly, placing the folder on the glass coffee table. “Every copy… as you asked.”Raymond inhaled deeply, letting the weight of the moment settle over him. For years, Golden Island had been more than an estate; it was the heart of his empire—his blood, his sweat, his identity. Trading it away felt like carving out a piece of his soul. His hands trembled slightly as he opened the folder.His eyes skimmed over the documents, but the words blurred into a haze. His chest tightened. He blinked rapidly, willing away the sting of emotion. There was no time for weakness. Not now.A flicker of memory s

    Raymond paced back and forth on the dock, his shoes echoing loudly in the empty space. The wind howled, creating a mournful sound as it swept through the old metal beams. Despite the sun shining brightly, a cold sensation churned in his stomach.He couldn’t stop thinking about what was happening. His team stood a few feet away, staring at their phones with worried expressions. They were all thinking the same thing: What’s going on?Raymond stopped pacing and gazed out at the water. He checked his watch for what felt like the hundredth time.He started walking again, his mind racing with worst-case scenarios. What if something had happened to Olive?He wasn’t sure he could forgive himself if it had.“History can’t repeat itself,” he whispered under his breath. “The woman I love has to live. She can’t die. Not again.”His team glanced at him, their eyes filled with unspoken questions. But Raymond had no answers. All he could do was wait and hope that everything was okay.The wind kept b

    Delilah leaned against the cold brick wall, one leg bent as she twirled a lock of hair between her fingers. The phone was pressed to her ear, her lips curling into a knowing smirk as the line connected.“Hello, Frank.”There was silence which was long enough for her to picture the way his jaw would tighten.Then, his voice came through as he said “What do you want, Delilah?” in a sharp and impatient tone.Her smirk deepened. Oh, how she loved getting under his skin. “Oh, come on, don’t be so grumpy. I have good news.”Frank’s scoff was immediate. “Good news?” He sounded incredulous, his anger barely restrained. “After all the losses I’ve taken because of you?”Delilah rolled her eyes, tapping her nails against the phone. “Oh, don’t start. I’m fixing everything.”“Fixing it?” Frank snapped. “Because of you I lost properties, money and even trust from my families”She sighed, cutting him off before he could launch into one of his never-ending rants. “Olive is here.”For a brief seconds

    "We will check to see how long," Ethan responded.Ezra sighed lazily as he crossed his arms against his chest, his eyes fixed on Olive, who sat oblivious to their presence. Olive was now so weak that she couldn’t even sense how many people were in the room. She was almost slipping into a coma.Ezra shifted uneasily. “So, what’s your plan?”Ethan didn’t answer right away. His gaze remained locked on Olive, his expression unreadable. Finally, he said, “Let’s watch first. But Mia must not hurt her.”Ezra scoffed, dropping his arms from his chest. “And if she does?”“You have to stop her. This wasn’t the plan, but I don’t care anymore. All I need to find out is if she’s truly our sister. If she is, this mission has to be aborted.”Ezra exhaled sharply, his skepticism evident. Ethan had always been the strategist, the one who thought five steps ahead. That trait had been the reason for their issues with Raymond, but now, him giving it up meant he was truly invested in uncovering what had
