The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 50: reveal
"Are you good through?" Robert's question was cut short by the bolting ot the door and their eyes flew eagerly to see who was coming in. It was a doctor and a nurse. The doctor has grey eyes that were barely hiden under his see through ash glasees and she had seen the smiley nurse before she had given her an injection when she woke up."Afternoon," the doctor greeted her and the nurse simply smiled at her"Afternoon, Doctor.""I'm glad to see that you've regained your strength by now. If you had lost a little more blood, you'd have require a blood transfusion I may ask to he sure. How are you doing?""I'm fine, thank you." Aria's heart had started beating fast. She knew Robert would soon hear the news of her miscarriage but it won't be free from her but from the doctor and it would seem like she was deliberately hiding it from him.Robert squeezed her palm assuredly like he always did that day when she was at the dineer and reflectively she withdrew. He stared at her without saying a
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 51: Ivan again
"I'm sorry," Ivan muttered, breaking the silence between them."So you had sex with Lily because I refuse to have sex with you." It wasn't a question but a statement."Not exactly but-""When you cheated, you needed everything between us and you made it clear that you didn't want us anymore.""No, it's just that when Lily sent that picture in that moment, it erased every trace of guilt because I felt you had been cheating too."The pain jabbed at Aria's heart because of how Ivan had Just proven that he never trusted her because how he say such... The wound that she had been struggling to bury felt like it had been cut open again and it made her feel like she had not even healed before and she shouldn't have entertained the conversation but now that she had, she'd get to the bottom of everything."Is this you trying to justify yourself now?" She asked, her voice strained with emotions.He sighed. "You don't understand me. That's not it.""I don't understand you now? Because I'm calling
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 52: confrontation
It's been three weeks now and Aria still hasn't gone to work because Robert had asked to take a little break off and truly she appreciated the gesture because she was truly tired and needed the rest and she was definitely going to get it now she was home. Robert constantly texted her all day, and she'd find herself giggling and waiting for his text if she hadn't gotten any from him yet. It was amazing how he made her feel and the longing she felt if she hadn't heard from him. Elanne visited her frequently, and she loved having her around. Anna still went to work frequently, but did not fail to text her. Ivan kept on texting her incessantly and so she blocked him again so he wouldn't get access to her. He kept telling her that Robert wasn't good for him and he knew something about Robert would surprise her. She kept on asking him but he refuse to divulge the information so she figured that he was just trying to make her scared and he wasn't worth any sort of attention. But on the other
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 53: The offer
The last statement Aria said to Lily was: "You know what Lily, I think you should take your leave." And she really meant it, it felt like they were moving in circles. And also Lily was coming back in to her life because Ivan didn't want her. If he had told her he wanted to be with her and marry Lily, she won't have seen the need to ask for any silly forgiveness. The realization hurt her, she wasn't as special to Lily as she thought but right now, she had already told herself she wasn't going to stress over each other because they didn't deserve the rest. Aria herself wasn't even in the best position regarding her heart, worrying herself over too betrayal would just add to her problems and that was the least thing she wanted right now. They could go to hell for all she cared. Even with all these thoughts in my mind to pour herself strength, she couldn't just shake off that lingering sadness that lodged in her heart each time she thought about what they had done to her regardless of how
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 54: suprise
"You could ehmm like visit me frequently. I don't really have to live with you." She stuttered as she thought about how impossible it was to completely leave Anna alone in this house because her fake husband insisted on her seeing frequently."No, I want you to stay with me." "That's not possible." She shook her head before she wore a smile on her face. "I can assure that I'm doing great and Anna takes good care of me.""You're not doing great and you're just saying that because you don't want leave with me.""Anna takes good care of me. It's just that she has to go to work and when she comes back, she tries her best to attend to my needs.""You need more support that Anna cannot provide hence you need to leave with me and let my staff take good care of you and attend to every of your needs 247"Aria shifted uncomfortably in her seat. The offer seemed mouthwatering but she couldn't imagine leaving Anna and going yo stay at some man's house whej she was supposed to be taking care of h
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 55: you should apologize
Robert was typing on his laptop but his mind kept on wandering to thoughts about Aria, and he felt something deep in his chest. It was an ache spreading around, he had missed her and he couldn't even lie to himself. It made him extra proud of his decision that he had included the part of her staying in his house with them in the contract. He knew she hadn't read that part with the initial look in her eyes when he had brought it to her notice. He wished he hadn't made her feel exploited and preyed upon but he was happy that finally, she would stay in his house and he'd get to see her as frequently as he wanted. He loved that, the thought made joy blossom in his chest and he wouldn't trade this feeling foe any other thing in this chest. Aria would stay in his house and it wouldn't give them an opportunity to bond more and an higher chance of her deciding to marry him when he tells her he wants it to be more than a contract.His phone rang, causing a break in his thoughts. He looked down
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 56: strategy and secrets
Harry wished he could stand up from the dinner he was having with his family. If someone had asked him what he wanted now, he'd simply respond that he wanted to take his food and leave the table without offending any of his parents. They kept on talking about successful Robert was and how they were proud of him. His mother had never talked about him in that way yet she didn't hesitate to contribute when his father started the conversation. It was just about Robert and Robert. He looked sideways and saw a grin etched on Bryan's face, one could tell that he was more proud to call Robert his big brother, more than he was to call him. "My boy keeps making me proud. It's so surreal that RL enterprises made list." His father said with a proud smile on his face. Apparently, RL enterprises had been listed at one of the fastest rising tech companies in his Los Angeles."Ofcourse. We were all here when it started." His mother, Lauren said nodding her head. Harry raised his gaze and stared at h
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 57: reflections
Aria sat on the sofa, surfing through channels and having a hard time deciding what to watch. She mostly spent time on her face so she rarely watch tv, so each time she was forced to watch the tv, she had a hard time deciding what to watch. It was Anna who was keen on watching tv and would not hesitate to grab the slightest opportunity to watch her favourite channel. As she scanned through the channels, she found each of them boring and unable to hold her interest after like five minutes of fixing her eyes on them. She finally settled for a channel that showed music videos, reducing it to the almost the lowest volume, she flung the remote control across the sofa. She scrolled through her phone and replied to a few messages, including Elanne's where she had been talking about how she missed her and how work was boring for her seeing that she didn't have anyone to talk to. Aria blushed at the messages and assured her that she was going to resume soon even though she knew that was a lie

The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 146: the end
Aria tried to memorize all she had learnt for her final exams while she texted Robert who was keen on distracting her. She had herself to blame though, she was the one who kept on texting him like she wouldn't see him later when he came home.A: Can you let me study?R: Can you let yourself study? You keep responding to my text when you know you shouldn't.A: that's because I can't help it and I always want to talk to you.R: That sounds cute but I'm going to have to stop responding to you. Meaning I'm not going to reply to your texts if you send another one after this.Robert kept his word. The next messages she said afterwards to him were left unanswered as she brought her mind back to her books so she could study. When she finished studying, she texted him back that she was done and she was heading to the shelter where she now volunteered. The shelter was a safe place for people who suffered abusive relationships and grief who needed other people who could understand them. It also
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 145: bonding
Aria had been looking forward to this dinner just like her husband. She noticed how happier her husband seemed after his meeting with Harry. Robert didn't give her the details, he just told her they got to discuss at length and they were now on good terms. Aria asked Anna if she wanted to come alone with them but she refused, saying she wanted to watch cartoons at home. Aria sighed and nodded.Now she and Robert were prepared for the dinner. Robert was dressed casually but since hadn't gone out in a while, she took this as an opportunity to scan through her outfits and combine them aesthetically. She finally settled for a short chiffon, a piece of jewelry and silver heels."Now look at how I look like your bodyguard standing beside you," Robert joked while he held her waist from the side and kissed her hair. "You look beautiful my queen." He complimented."So do you so, my love." She blushed. His muscular arm was evident under the shirt he wore and his biceps rippled. Aria imagined ta
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 144: starting to live
Harry couldn't bear the guilt of what he did and he kept thinking about whether to tell Robert about it or not. They've been getting along just fine and they've recently been texting online and it's been amazing. They mostly spoke about their father's health, work and just random stuff. It felt like they were in a talking stage, they were starting to know each other very well, something they would have done years ago, but it took this long to achieve which wasn't really bad. Lauren and her husband loved this new change and they supported it more by inviting Aria and Robert for dinner. They conveyed the information through Harry and Robert loved the idea and agreed to show up with his wife.Harry's mind kept bugging him, he couldn't act all friendly with Robert when in the past he had previously tried to sabotage his career. Now they were getting along, he didn't want anything to come between this new found friendship. He was going to tell Robert about all of it, he'd soon go back to s
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 143: change of mind
Anna was getting better and she no longer cried about the death. She was starting to carry on without her life. She now ate, watched cartoons and giggled about funny things like she used to do before she heard about the news. Aria loved the change, it brought a smile to her lips that her sister had successfully escaped the confinement of grief.Aria felt like her life was worth more and she hadn't explored as she should have. She was too carried away with external factors and had forgotten to be the main character of her life. This was what her mother would have wanted for her, now that she was gone, she had the strong urge to pick up her life. Not that she hadn't been living before but he was ready to live as her capacity would allow. She wanted to go to therapy and then go back to school. Therapy first, because she wanted to unpack all that happened to her in the past month, heal and understand better in what direction her life should take. Aria realized she wasn't really okay and s
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 142: revelation
Harry had already resigned to his fate as soon as his mother told him about everything. He knew that one day, this would happen, now in the moment, he felt nothing at all. He just keenly watched the scene unfold. The only thing that troubled him was that the internal turmoil his mother felt was visible and he felt sorry for her."I said go on," his father said, growing impatient.Matteo stared at Lauren, hoping she would change her mind but he just looked scared without saying a word."Say whatever you have to say, you heard my dad." Harry added, looking at Matteo with disdain. The reaction Matteo got was different from what he expected. He smiled nervously, staring at all of them. Harry knew he was finding it difficult to comprehend with the way no one seemed to be grovelling at his feet not to spill like he expected. His face hardened again, "So your wife here lied to you.""About what?" His father instinctively touched Lauren and his eyes darted between her and Matteo."About a lo
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 141: relief
As Robert drove them home, he felt a sense of relief that his father didn't have to stay at the hospital for more than a day. Robert hated the hospital, not in the strong sense of aversion kind of way, but he felt like the hospital wasn't really a place a sick person needed to be. He couldn't place a finger on why he thought that but he didn't think a sick person deserved to hear about more people dying and inhaling the weird antiseptic that dominated the air. And most people he knew who stayed in the hospital for months due to one illness or the other didn't make it alive, for example his mom and Aria's mom. So for that reason he was happy that his father didn't have to stay there longer than the day he was brought in.His father coughed and he briefly glanced back. Lauren was sitting next to him, holding his hands which moved to rub his arm.Harry who was near Robert stretched the water he held to his father. "I hope you're okay." He asked.His father nodded and for the rest of thei
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 140: Sick
"Dad!" Robert kept screaming as his father held his neck almost like he was getting constricted.He continued coughing as Robert tried to offer him the water. His hands become shaky as he contemplated running out to tell Lauren about what was happening to her husband. He blinked his eyes as he watched his father fight for air and then he sprang out of the room to inform Lauren."Lauren, the ambulance! Dad is dying," he said breathlessly. Her eyes widened in horror as she placed a call to the ambulance with shaky hands. "My husband -"Robert zone out, his mind conjuring the worst scenarios. Soon the ambulance arrived and lauren and Bryan accompanied his father while he was wheeled away. He grabbed his carkeys as he made his way to enter his when he saw Harry scratching his hair as walked closer to him."Can i go come along?" Robert watched him stutter before he nodded."Thank you," he said shyly before they both entered the car. They drove in silence before Robert's curiosity got the
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 139: finally
Robert told him he couldn't continue thinking about his father without making the necessary move therefore he had to go to his house and have the conversation. He didn't even know he loved his father this much. The past months without hearing his voice made him feel like something was missing and he was tired of feeling that way. It was kind of feeling he had to end because it ruined him. Yeah, he didn't care nor think about the consequences or aftermath of the action he was going to take as he drove down there. He had told Bryan to inform him if Dad was at home and the little boy did it as soon as he could because he wanted his big family back. When Bryan told him he was now on talking terms with his mother, Lauren, a big smile spread across his face and he remembered how he wasn't talking to his own father and he knew he had to fix that as well.Robert got to the house bracing himself for the conversation they were going to have.He saw Lauren sitting in the sitting room like the pre
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 138: reassurance
Anna has been moody since Aria told her about her mother's death. She had to tell her though, she couldn't stall it any longer. She wasn't crying anymore but she barely spoke nor showed excitement about anything as she would have before. Anna took that as a sign, she was grieving silently, which was okay. She had to express herself in whichever way she deem fit. As much as she wished Anna didn't have to feel this way, it was necessary and had to happen. Aria glanced across where Anna was lying on the sofa, covering herself with a duvet as her eyes darted between the TV where her favourite cartoon was flickering and her phone in her hands."You sure you're not hungry?" Aria asked again for the third time.She raised her gaze and shook her head."Why? Food is important." Aria asked, worried. "At this point, I'll have to force you to eat something even if you claim not to be hungry."Anna adjusted her lying posture to a sitting one, putting her foot on the floor. "Trust me, I'll eat when
