Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 48: Heated Car Argument
A V E L I N AI had never been happier to hear that deep voice, and as much as I hated to admit it, he had saved me. Again.Benjamin looked up, and his eyes widened as they landed on Lorenzo. He let go of my waist and stood back, his gaze fixed on the man towering over him.Lorenzo walked towards us and stood beside me, "Didn't I warn you the last time never to cross paths with my wife?"Benjamin looked at me and then back at him. He cleared his throat and squared his shoulder, refusing to be intimidated by the man in front of him. "She's not your wife. She's mine."Lorenzo let out a laugh, and the sound sent a shiver down my spine. "Are you really trying to challenge me, boy?""She's mine." He repeated, sweat already gathering on his forehead."She's not. Now, get the fuck out of my sight. Unless, you want a repeat of the last time.""She's my girl, and she'll always be." He said, looking straight into my eyes.Lorenzo took a step forward and pushed Benjamin backwards. "I'm warning y

A V E L I N AAfter that little argument, Lorenzo drove me back home. As soon as he stopped the car in front of the mansion, I was about to open the door, when his voice stopped me."Don't forget, Avelina. You belong to me." He said, before getting out of the car and walking away.I didn't follow him inside, instead, I sat there and tried to clear my mind. After a few minutes, I decided to go out for a run. I needed some time to myself.I went to my room and changed into my running shorts, a sports bra and a hoodie. I grabbed my earphones and put them in, turning on my favorite playlist. I started running.I had been running for an hour when I felt the pain in my stomach. I groaned, slowing down as the sharp pain got worse.Suddenly, my feet stumbled over the rock and I fell on the ground. I was too tired to move, so I lay there, clutching my stomach.I took out my phone and dialed his number."Avelina?" He said as he picked up the phone."Lorenzo, help. Please." I said, breathing hea
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 50: Heart Attack
A V E L I N AThe past couple of days in this house has been miserable for me. Serafina made sure I never had a breathing space.She was so much worse than her son.Her hatred for me was immeasurable. I didn't understand why. She didn't know me, but she was dead set on hating me.And Lorenzo was no help.He was completely blind to his mother's manipulations. His mother was the perfect definition of the devil's incarnate. She was a vile, vicious woman who enjoyed others' misery.And now, she had taken an interest in me. "How can you live with these conditions? I'm appalled. Look at this kitchen! It's so tiny and dull. What do you even cook here?"I didn't bother answering her. It's not like she was listening to me anyway. She kept talking, criticizing every single thing in the kitchen."Seriously, Lorenzo. This is unacceptable. Your wife shouldn't have to live like this. We need to find her a proper place to stay.""Mother , we've discussed this. This is my house. You have no say in ho
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 51: Leonardo Salvatore
A V E L I N A We reached the hospital in record time. Lorenzo rushed inside, and I followed. Doctor Anderson met us in the waiting area. "Where is she?" Lorenzo asked, his arm wrapped around my waist. "She's in surgery, Mr. Salvatore. We were able to get her stabilized, but there's complications. I'm sorry, but I cannot discuss her medical history with you. Only the immediate family." I looked at him, and his expression was unreadable. "Avelina is family, Doctor Anderson. I am her grandson. Now, tell me everything." "Very well. Mrs. Salvatore has been having issues with her heart for quite a while now. The heart attack was unexpected, and her heart couldn't handle the pressure. As you know, she also has cancer, which has spread through her body. I'm afraid she wouldn't be able to live longer than we expected. At this point, there's no telling how much time she has left." Lorenzo didn't say anything. He looked at the doctor, his eyes hard. "And the surgery? What's that for?" "The

A V E L I N AWe were waiting for Maggie. It had been five hours since we were here, and the surgery was supposed to have finished by now. But, no news."How much longer will it take?" Valerie asked, her face pale and her hands shaking."I don't know." Lorenzo sighed, running a hand through his hair."Did you see her? Before they took her in?" She asked me and I shook my head."She had already been rushed into the operation room before we arrived." I responded.Serafina and Leonardo had left thankfully after waiting for only two hours, they got tired and left.Vito and Alessio were sitting with Valerie, their younger sister, holding her as she cried quietly. Giovanni was sitting very far away from us, but I didn't miss the glare he gave me from time to time.While Santino and Nicholas were nowhere to be seen."Do you need anything, Avelina?" Lorenzo asked, his fingers grazing against mine."No, I'm okay. I don't have the appetite for anything. I just need to know Maggie is okay.""S
Her Accidental Billionaire Husband 53: Her Ruin
A V E L I N A"Oh, God. I'm so sorry." I said, tears falling from my eyes."I'm sorry for not being there when you needed me. I'm sorry for everything, Maggie. Please, wake up." I touched her hand, and felt her skin. It was warm, and my tears wouldn't stop."You'll be okay. You'll be okay. I know you will." I felt Lorenzo's hand on my shoulder, and looked up. He had the most tender look on his face, and he wiped away the tears that were on my face. He pulled me closer to him, and hugged me."I'm sorry.""Don't say sorry. Don't you dare say that. You did nothing wrong. This wasn't your fault.""If I had been there-""What would've changed, Ave? Would you have known she was having a heart attack? Would you have been able to get her here before it got worse?""I don't know.""That's right. You don't. And, you shouldn't blame yourself for what happened. Maggie wouldn't want that. She would want you to be strong, and she would want you to not give up on the life you were given.""I know. I

A V E L I N AI fell asleep in the chair, only to be awaken by the constant ringing of my phone. Groaning, I sat up straight, and looked at the time. It was almost six. I looked over to Maggie, who was still in the same position, before answering the call."Hello.""How's Maggie?" Lorenzo asked."No change. I'll talk to the nurse and check what's happening.""Okay. Have you had breakfast yet?""No.""Take your time, Ave. Don't rush, okay? She'll be fine.""Yeah.""Call me if you need anything, I'll be there soon. Just need to get some work done." "Will do." "Alright. Bye, baby." I was caught off guard and a deep blush formed on my cheeks.Thankfully, no one could see it. My heart hammered against my chest, and the butterflies in my stomach were doing crazy flips.I hung up, and immediately ran towards the nurse's station. "Hi, good morning. Is it possible for me to clean her body since she can't physically do it herself.""Of course. We can also provide you with a robe for her. Just

L O R E N Z OI arrived at the court house just in time with my lawyer and Nicholas. The first person my eyes met were Natalia's and she didn't look a tad bit remorseful.Her clothes were tattered and dirty and she looked thinner but held so much rage and enmity in her eyes. Seeing her rose lots of pent up anger in me."Order. Order. Will the jury please rise." The judge said and they all stood up."Today is the final court hearing. Has the jury come to a conclusion?""Yes, we have.""Read it out."The lady nodded her head and started to speak. "In the case of the people versus Natalia Serrano, we find her guilty. Evidences and footages have proven that she had conspired with a man to kill her boyfriend, and frame Lorenzo Salvatore for the crime."Natalia's face dropped, and the rage in her eyes burned harder than ever. The glare she gave me was something that could have killed me instantly if it had the ability."Is this true, Miss. Serrano?""No. They're lying. I didn't do anything.

He looked around the room and then his eyes met mine."Avelina, thank God you're awake." He said, rushing to my side and placing a kiss on my lips. "Oh my God, thank God. I thought I lost you, baby.

You have to let us do our jobs."My brain couldn't function at the moment, and I was feeling a bit lightheaded."What's going on?" I asked weakly, looking around the room as they took my daughter. My head was spinning and my eyes were heavy, but I wanted to see my baby."Mrs Salvatore, try your best to relax.""Valerie." I called her weakly, my vision blurry.
