The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 103 - A feeling like home
Elena POV I followed him, grinning like a kid who just won candy.By the time we hit the kitchen, he was rubbing his face like a tired dad. “Alright. Cheesecake. From scratch,” he mumbled as I plopped myself onto the counter.“You can do it,” I cheered, chin in hands.He pulled up some YouTube videos and cursed under his breath as flour went everywhere, and at one point he tried to mix too fast and splattered cream cheese on his shirt.“You’re a mess,” I laughed.“You’re enjoying this too much,” he shot back, finally sticking the wobbly cheesecake in the oven like it was a ticking bomb.While we waited, he boiled water and stirred together a cup of hot chocolate, hands still covered in powder and looking a little grumpy but also kind of cute.I just sat there, hands on my chin, watching as his expression shifted from confused to baffled to surprise then to annoyed.I couldn't help but smile a little. It was really a good thing knowing that he's trying his best. At least for now I gue
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 102 – Midnight cravings
Elena POVWe stayed under that oak tree for a long while, hands laced together like we didn’t even realize it at first. The sun had shifted higher, warm and golden against my face.“You mean it?” I asked him after a while, my voice small but hopeful.He glanced at me sideways, brow lifted. “Mean what?”“That you’ll talk to your mom,” I murmured, feeling my throat tighten.Alex was so still for a moment that I thought he’d shut me down. But then he sighed and nodded.“Yeah,” he answered. “I will.”Some of the weight I’d been carrying all morning seemed to loosen in my chest.“Thank you,” I whispered.He didn’t reply. Instead, his thumb brushed across my knuckles, his palm warm. It wasn’t much, but coming from him — someone so careful with feelings — it was everything.When we finally left the cemetery, my heart felt lighter.---The drive home was mostly quiet. Alex kept one hand on the wheel and the other resting lightly on my knee. Every so often, I’d catch him glancing over at me li
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 101 – Visiting my parents
Elena POVEarly the next morning, the air was crisp as Alex pulled up to the cemetery gate. I held a small bouquet, hands trembling against the green plastic wrap. My heart felt heavy. Every inch of me wished my parents were still here, holding my hands, telling me everything would be okay.“You ready?” Alex asked quietly.I nodded, even though my legs felt like jelly. “Yeah,” I whispered.He parked and came around to my side. No words. Just a strong, warm palm hovering at my back like an unspoken promise as we made our way up the narrow path.That’s when I saw it.Sunflowers. Bright yellow petals against the gray marble of my parents’ grave. They hadn’t been here the last time. I stopped walking.My throat closed up as I stared at them, their blooms so alive, their colors so loud it felt like they were humming.Sunflowers.A tear slipped before I could catch it.There was only one person who knew.Nick.Nick was the only one who knew my mom loved sunflowers. Dad used to call me his
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 100 - Death Anniversary
Elena POV“I am your what now?” I turned to him fully, brows raised so high I felt my forehead crease in disbelief.Alex didn’t flinch. His hand still held mine, resting firm and warm on my lap like he had every right to be touching me. His other hand gripped the steering wheel a little too tight.“My wife,” he said again, slower this time. “That’s what you are.”I blinked at him. Then blinked again. “Are you drunk?”He actually smiled. That irritating, confident smirk that made me want to throw my shoe at him sometimes. “No, Elena. I’m just stating the obvious.”“Obvious?” I scoffed. “You mean the contract marriage obviously? The one you keep reminding me is just ink on paper?”He didn’t answer right away. Just drove in silence for a few seconds, his jaw twitching. I could feel the air between us thick with tension.“You didn’t answer,” I pressed on not allowing him to escape this afternoon, ruining my meeting with Damien.His voice dropped, rough and low. “ Because, I’m tired of pre
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 99 - Calling her his wife
Elena POV After the sudden call from Damien that day I decided there was no harm in accepting his invitation. Just that this time it was done in a very open space.I still haven't recovered from the last incident between me and Pete. The other time I was raped,it was in a closed space.The third time would never happen at all . Not like I didn't trust Damien, I just can't risk it no more.“ Hey” he greeted, “ sorry” he stood up immediately to pull out my chair for me “ Hey you” I settled down at the table gently. “ oh, thank you, ” I replied.He pulled over a waiter and asked what I wanted, “ I'll have just pancakes and a cup of sweet coffee with extra cream”“ I'll have anything she's having”The waiter smiled and retreated to get what we ordered leaving the both of us in awkward silence.“ So,” I said, trying to loosen the tension. “ You called?”Damien smiled and nodded in approval. “ Yes I did.”“ Hmmm….how did you get my number?”I asked, a brow raised.“oh, registry.” He shrugg
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 98 - Where it hurts most
Elena POV “Leave me alone, Alex,” I whispered, brushing his hand away from my shoulder. I didn’t mean for it to come out so harsh, but I just… couldn’t anymore.My body was tired. My heart felt bruised. My head was full of noise. Everything ached—my back, my legs, my chest, my soul.I just wanted to be alone for five damn minutes. But of course, he was still there. Hovering and watching me like a hawk.Not that I'm exaggerating things but even when he wasn't with me, he still kept a maid on my tail.Sometimes I even feel like the CCTV cameras are watching me.He blinked, taken aback. His lips parted like he wanted to say something, but nothing came out.“Elena…” he said after a second, softly. “What’s wrong? Talk to me.”I let out a shaky breath and slowly sat on the edge of the bed, fingers curling around the edge of the blanket.God.Where do I even start?“I don’t know,” I murmured, my voice barely above a whisper. “Everything just feels… wrong. Off. Heavy.”I mean this is what I
