The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 72: avoiding him
Robert did what he knew how to do best to Aria—show up unexpectedly at her house. She had not been taking his calls and she barely responded to his text messages. Her excuse was that she either busy, tired or she just wasn't in the mood to talk to anyone. At one point he jokingly asked her if she had started working else and she replied not at all and disappeared for the whole of the day. She hadn't gone to work at Darlings eversince she saw Harry that day and she didn't even know if she should just stop working there because she had been giving the manager a string of excuses, although she knew he had a soft spot for hee that's why he hasn't scolded but she knew she had not been on hee best behaviour. Even if Aria decided to quit, she would apologize to him for not taking her work seriously."So why have you been avoiding me?" Robert asked her casually, while he settled on the sofa across from her."Am I? Is that what you think? I haven't been avoiding you." She didn't even have the
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 73: make up
"You were about to say something? Just say it.""But I thought we were okay and have moved past of all of these?" He asked her."I thought we were but I just have to be alone for now.""Or is there something wrong, is there something you don't want to talk about for the meantime?" Robert asked thoughtfully."I appreciate all of your questions but this isn't about you but it's just me.""You know we are one right," he whispered but you could tell that he was trying not to get angry. "When we got married, we became one. So just tell me whatever is wrong with you and hoe we can sort it out.""No I don't want sorting, I think how I've chosen to handle this which is by wanting space between the both of us is fine." The air thickened and silenee draped onver them like blanket."Is it what you really want?" Robert asked her, now resigning to his fate. "I'm wondering if you've been speaking to Ivan or maybe your former best friend lately." Aria could tell that Robert had asked the question s
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 74: stuck
Aria told Robert she was tired of staying at home and they struck a deal that he was going to allow her come to work only three times a week. She was also planning on moving to his house by weekend. Each time she remembered how Elanne's hadn't picked her calls or neither returned any of her texts, her chest plummeted to her stomach. It made her even skeptical to resume work because Elanne and Robert were the two people that made attending work worthwhile but now she was going to be seeing Robert frequently but Elanne still hadn't picked her calls. Up how she tried her best to explain to her about everything she continued ignoring hee calls like they were never friends. At this point she had already given up on trying to be friends with Elanne back because it seems like that was not happening anytime And continuing pursuing it may hurt Aria more. As shs preared for work thst morning, she realized that thing had changed and she would no longer have to stop at the receptionist desk to ac
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 75: A strange face
"Oh no," Robert chuckled, then his eyes squinted, the realization dawned on him. "Oh jeez," he muttered as he pressed the button which refused to act according to his command. Aria watched as he struggled to come to terms with the fact that they were stuck because the power had gone off."I'm sorry, we'll have to be here a minute longer." Robert apologized while shoving his hands into his pocket to retrieve his phone.Aria nodded. "We're in this together.""I know you love being near me even though you won't admit it, Princess." Robert didn't miss an opportunity to tease her even though they were in a critical condition."Enough of this please." She chided him while her cheeks flushed.He spoke a few words into the phone and when he ended the call, he looked at her. "Just few minutes and we'll be out of here.""Isn't it weird that this happened on the first day you resumed work again." She said.Robert shook his head before whispering. "Maybe the elevator has missed and they decided t
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 76: jealousy
With a tight lipped smile, Aria replied. "No, thank you.""Nice to meet you by the way.""Yeah..." Aria trailed off, trying to recall where she had seen her because she knew she had. She was certain but she just couldn't assemble the pieces together. "Sorry have we met before?"A surprise look crossed Queensley's face before she shook her head. "I don't think it's possible for us to have met before because I just moved into Las Vegas.""Oh really, then I must have mistook you for someone else." Aria replied, walking away and willing herself not to overthink this issue and not add it to the list of things she had to worry about. Whether or not she had met Queensley before wasn't important. She worried too much about a lot of insignificant things.While she was walking into the bathroom, the door opened with Elanne walking out. she must have gone to refit her braids, Aria thought to herself trying to ignore his hee heart was now beating fastly. Her throat suddenly felt dry and she knew
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 77: replaceable
Aria sat there still hoping for what wouldn't come to life. She likened this tainted hope to the one she shared while she hoped for Ivan to change. Oh god, she pinched herself for still thinking about Ivan. She hated how she llinked every bad thing that happened to her to Ivan. It annoyed her but there nothing she could do about it, except to wait for the urge to fade naturally. As she ate, she occasionally glanced at both Elanne and Queensley as they chatted. Maybe she was just overthinking it, maybe they had known each other for a while and it wasn't about the fact that she and Elanne had and issue. It could be that Elanne hadn't noticed that she was around yet and Queensley quickly grabbed out the seat, wanting to be with hee and she just couldn't refuse. Although it didn't seem like that but she stuck to the analysis's that suited and stilled her. As Aria continued to eat, she eat she haeard a shrill laughter burst out from their direction. Reflexively, Aria's head jerked towards
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 78: Mine
"Aria, why do you keep withdrawing your hands each time I try to hold them?" Robert asked, his voice low."The same reason your voice is low." Aria replied.He laughed. "So?""I mean your voice is low because you probably don't want people to know that we may have a thing or whatever and I keep withdrawing my hands because we're in a workspace and we shouldn't be doing that here." Aria replied quickly, this wasn't what she wanted to talk about. She wasn't in the right frame of mind for such conversations."I lowered my voice because I don't want people to know that I'm begging a pretty girl like you to allow me hold her hands." Robert replied and Aria's cheeks flushed."Oh well...""I guess this pretty girl doesn't want to be held.""She does, but maybe not now."Robert leaned off the chair, his brows raised with a smirk on his face. "Is this your way of telling me you'd like to cuddle after work today?""Oh my gosh Robert! Friends don't cuddle!" Aria's voice was slightly raised and s
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 79: A date
Aria couldn't believe that those words had come out of her mouth. It was a reflex, before she could stop herself; they had already popped out."Huh? You said, "What?"Robert asked, amusement lining his tone."Oh, nothing," she replied shyly."Nah, you asked if you were not already mine? Isn't it?""You heard, so why are you asking again?""I just wanted to be sure because I loved the sound of that." He replied."Me too." Aria muttered and facepalmed, a wide grin across her face."How about we both don't go to work today, just so we could go to a very nice spot to hang out?" He suggested."That will be very nice." Aria loved the idea."Deal then." Robert spoke up, and they flirted a little before they ended the call. If it were before, Aria would have kicked against the idea of leaving work just to hang out, but seeing that she got to spend time with the person she really liked made her happy, so she gave into the idea. Aria was learning to live in the moment and enjoy herself. She drown

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
