The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 24. Deceived once more
Elena POV I stormed into the room, went straight to the cupboard, took out my box and started loading in things that were mine. Not that anything here truly belonged to me.I seem to have a reputation of getting things that didn't belong to me but I didn't care. I was going to leave this house tonight.I took my old clothes, that were stuff on one side of the cupboard, packed them all up, and went straight to the bathroom.I grabbed my tooth brush and the other stuff that might be of use to me and went out to the room. “He has always been a controlling narcissist that doesn't give a care in the world if I'm dead. How dare he give me orders. Who does he think he is?” I mumbled to myself as I continued stuffing things into my bag.Just as I was about closing my box the door opened and Alex walked in.“ What do you think you're doing?” he asked, moving forward to stop me. “ What does it look like I'm doing?” I jerked his hands off, wanting to walk to the door when he blocked me.“ You

Elena POV My breath hitched as I tried struggling, but he wouldn't let go. His eyes were darker than the first time, now ready to kill. It was true. How would I sue someone of his caliber when he could just get away with anything he wanted? “Alex, you're hurting me,” I said, my voice low and cracked. This was the fifth time I had been calling him but he wasn't listening. Tears slid from the corner of my eyes, rolling down my cheeks. Just when I feared he would disembowel my jaw, he let go. He looked at me for a minute then turned towards the door. “ No one is going anywhere.” Just when the door clicked shut behind him, I let out the breath I didn't know I was holding, my eyes widened as I looked at the door in shock. I collapsed on the floor, my body trembling and my knee weak. What in the world just happened? I touched my cheeks where he held, caressing it a little. Did Alex just try to kill me? My eyes remained wide open as I crouched, holding my knees together. Elena, wha

Elena POV It had been two weeks of being a captive of Alexander Donovan. Everything has been calm, or rather, unproductive.I tried speaking to Nick for him to help me escape but he wasn't willing to. I begged, cried but nothing was convincing him.“ Listen Nick, please you have to help me please” I begged, clinging to his left hand “ please” Tears streamed down my face as I believed I had found hope, but he just kept his head low.“ Elena, you don't understand, Alex is-” “ What is there to understand” I shouted, frustrated and angry “ I am your sister, Nick. You barely know Alex better than you know me. We have been together since we were young why won't you just help me.” He sighed looking at me now “ He's protecting you this way, you just have to calm down” “ Calm down? You want me to calm down when I was tricked and decieved and now captured against my own will and you're expecting me to calm down”He opened his mouth as if to say something but decided against it and just mo

Elena POV“That reason doesn't justify why you would put your wife on house arrest and deprive her of food and water.” She was raging. “ You were protecting her? From what? From yourself because clearly you are the only one endangering her.”She stood up with the help of her cane. At this moment I loved her. I loved the way she made Alex so silent that he just bowed his head low without uttering a word.“ Nana, you don't understand” Alex finally spoke. His voice was low.“Understand? You talk about understanding but all I see here is madness. What happened to having a conversation?" Exactly, she's was telling the truth.Alex never told me why he was chaining me in the name of protecting me. At least I have a right to know what he's trying to save me from.But no, he thought that it was best if he kept me like a slave doing his little charades when he needs me.“ Tell me, child, did he tell you anything about why he kept you?” she turned to me and I shook my head.I could feel Alex's g

Elena's POV Wait, what?A vacation? No,no, no, no, no!Nothing is going according to my plan anymore. Nana was supposed to tell me I'm free to do whatever I want, not book us a spot at some resort.When she came to that conclusion I felt my stomach knot into a twist. I looked at Alex expectant this time.But he didn't say anything or object to it. Why? Was this his plan all along? Did they plan this in order to sabotage my plan?I paced around the room clearly agitated and nervous about the vacation. Alex on the other hand was just sitting down there staring at his phone.I paused and looked at him. He wasn't even bothered or showing any sign of objections. “ Alex” I called sharply, walking towards him.He didn't even bother looking up.“ You knew about this all along, didn't you?” I asked. “ You knew that Nana would send us to some vacation after all this right?” I interrogated, but he didn't bulge so I snatched his phone away from him.“ You'll look at me and answer-”“ And why sh
Last Updated : 2024-12-10The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 29. Evergreen Resort
Elena POV Morning soon came and I was all set for one hell of a vacation. Nana stood on the porch all smiles and cheerfully waving at us like this wasn't the worst idea she ever had.“ Have fun my darling and Alex,” she called out, her tone dripping from excitement. “ Make sure you take care of her. I'll be watching you.”Alex smirked, giving her a thumbs up. “ of course, I'll take care of her”I snorted under my breath. Yeah, right. Nick stood awkwardly beside her, his hands shoved in his pocket. I refuse to even glance at him. He hasn't apologized yet. “ Bye, Nana,” I said, forcing a half-hearted smile. “ Bye, sweetheart, call me if you need to set him straight,” she replied, raising her cane. “ Enjoy yourself”Enjoy myself? Was she serious? I was far from enjoying myself now, knowing I would be alone with him for two whole weeks instead of getting my life back on track.I entered the car, followed by Alex, taking over the wheels, and we zoomed off.The ride to the resort felt

Elena POV “What are you doing out here?” I titled my head back to see Alex, standing with a cardigan and pants. Apparently he must have changed from his formal attire to this when I was deep in thought. “ Nothing that concerns you. Or is it a crime now to come to the balcony?” I asked , folding my hands in front of my chest. “ You didn't have to be rude, I was just asking a harmless question” he responded, and I immediately felt bad for what I said. I was just tired, exhausted, angry and sorry for myself at the same time. Everything just seems too much for me and it makes me question my intelligence and decisions. From that very day Pete had betrayed me, everything had gone wrong in my life. Absolutely everything, and the worst part is that I'm stuck with this him, Alex Donovan, who is very obsessed with keeping me safe. The funniest and worst part of all is that I don't even know why he's keeping me safe or what he's keeping me safe from. He won't tell me even if I asked

Elena's POV We both looked at each other before rolling my eyes. “ You just had to be a baby” I said, heading to the door and he shrugged.I opened the door to see a blonde bob haired lady in her late 20’s or so, smiling at me. She wore a white t-shirt and black skirt with a green jacket.“ Mrs Donovan?” She asked, still smiling brightly. I nodded smiling back at her. “ You have a reservation this night by 7pm in our restaurant tonight”I looked at Alex raising a question eyebrow at him but he didn't seem to have a clue on what she was saying so I turned back to her and smiled of course.If Alex didn't reserve the table and I obviously didn't, that means it would be no one other than Nana who did.“ Of course we'll be there, thank you” I responded, closing the door shut.I sighed and closed my eyes as I take a deep breath, because I had earlier planned that I wouldn't be stepping out of this room to anywhere throughout our stay here.“ We have a reservation at the evergreen restauran

The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 51. Surprised to see him
Elena POV I took my phone dashing out of the house so pissed that the death glares I gave Mike and James, the two body guards, didn't dare to stop me.As soon as I was out of that bombshell I sat down near a fountain at the park still fuming with anger that the reason wasn't best known to me.“ How dare he” I said, talking to myself, “ darling?” I huffed repeating what the unknown person said “ more like devil”He couldn't even excuse himself before taking the call, answering it in front of me like it was nothing.Of course, what was I annoyed about? It was nothing after all. I'm so stupid to think this would be something between us. Maybe we could have grown something between us.Argh, what am I saying? Jeez, I knew from the beginning that whatever was between us would always be a business proposal, it's not like he would even think of me in that direction.I mean, look at me, I'm broke with nothing to claim account for, I can't even match his status one bit or even be as prettier a
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 50. From another universe
Elena POV After our breakfast, Alex went to the balcony to answer a business call while I cleaned up the dishes. Once I was through with the dishes I decided to take a nap. As I walked towards the room I glanced back at Alex, his back facing me, the sun shining on him like it was a stage show.His broad shoulders and godly figure attracted me the most. I bit my lower lips slightly, unconsciously staring at every motion he made while still on the call.In my eyes everything he did was in slow motion like in those movies where a mysteric being from another universe, every effect it made was what I was seeing.His hair was rough and unstyled, bare chest with six or eight packs I couldn't care less, with his lower body covered in joggers.I exhaled unknowingly. He looked like a damn demi god. I leaned on the handrail of the staircase daydreaming and smiling sheepishly into nothing.I heard a faint distant voice calling out my name and couldn't seem to fathom where the distant voice cam
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 49. The perfect breakfast
Elena POV I stood in front of the counter, slicing my veggies for the omelet. I wonder if Alex would also want one. This looked familiar, oh yes, I used to make this for Pete back in those times when I was stupidly in love. I chuckled, crazy, cause after taking my time to make him breakfast every morning he skips it and when he doesn't he finds fault in it.It's either it wasn't cooked properly or it doesn't have enough salt or veggies. This made me so unconfident about my cooking skills.Not knowing he was sleeping around with another woman only for me to be cooking for him and sheltering him. Wasn't I ever enough for him? Does our relationship, the time we spent together, didn't they mean anything to him before he thought of leaving me for that blondie?I wonder if I was ever going to find him and get my father's house back? So many questions that I kept asking myself and haven't been answered yet.And what scares me the most are these tingling feelings I feel towards Alex that
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 48. Define crazy
Elena's POV I woke up feeling all wasted. My head felt like tons of bricks were thrown on it.“ Argh” I exclaimed, sitting up slowly as I held my head. I rubbed my temples thinking it would ease the pain, my eyes darting around till I spotted Alex half naked with his shirts off on the bed.My eyes widened, my throat hinged, my chest pounding as I imagined all the fantasies that must have happened last night.Suddenly I screamed, grabbing the pillow beside me and chucked it at his head.“Alex!”“Hmmm” Alex groaned, tugging at the pillow like it was an annoying flu and shifting uncomfortably to face me. “ Why can't you just let me sleep this morning?” he complained, his deep voice echoed and if I wasn't freaking out I would have found it attractive.First off, “ Why are you here?” I asked tugging him to open his eyes. “ omg did we?”“ You don't remember last night?” He asked, looking at me.I clutch my blanket tightly to my chest trying to make sense of the situation.My clothes were

Alex POV Running around the streets like a lunatic following a lunatic. If any paparazzi saw this right now, I could be headlined Alexander Donovan caught running with his drunk wife in the night or even worse.“ Elena!” I shouted her name “ stop right there” but she didn't. It was as if she was aiming for a particular destination I wasn't sure about. If I had known, I would have taken the car or better still never have brought her out for a drink and let her drink this much.Suddenly, after what seemed to be an endless race finally stopped.I bent to catch my breath before walking to her. As I walked over to her now on the floor sleeping, I noticed my car just a few metres away from where we were.“ What the fuck!”Wait, did she just make me race with her all round just to end up back at the same place?I sighed, gritting my teeth as I looked at the already asleep Elena on the cold concrete floor.“ Come on, let's get you home”I carried her in one lift and soon got to the car and
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 46. Result of getting drunk
Elena POV His phone vibrated in his pocket interrupting him. He turned to pick it up. “ What!?” he exclaimed aloud. “ Listen,” he looked back at me then forward which made me curious because he stepped a foot further from me. I wonder why he always hide himself from everybody like he had some secret that he enclosed and kept away from anyone and it would be hard to pry into his life. The noise of the children and excitement clouded what he was saying on the phone and I couldn't hear anything. A few minutes passed and he was done with this mysterious call. He walked back to me like nothing happened. “ What was it?” I asked as he was now near me. “ It was nothing, just Nick having trouble with the company” he answered. “Okay” I nodded, not wanting it to seem like I'm interested in anything related to him. “ Ok, so, do you want to join me at the bar?” A few drinks wouldn't hurt at all. In fact I needed it to clear my head from everything that had happened in these weeks.
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 45. His vulnerable side
Elena's POV The line for the rides was long, and Alex stood next to me, hands stuffed in his pockets, looking around like he was trying to figure out what to do with himself.“So,” he said after a while, his tone casual. “When’s the last time you did something like this?”I crossed my arms and looked ahead at the people waiting. “I don’t know. Maybe when I was a kid.”He nodded like that made sense. “Same. My parents didn’t really do amusement parks.”I turned to him, caught off guard by how real he sounded. “And now you’re here? Why?”He shrugged, a small grin forming. “Thought it’d be fun. And maybe you’d like it.”I didn’t know how to respond to that, so I didn’t. We just stood there quietly until it was finally our turn to get on the roller coaster.The attendant checked the harness on me, and we both entered the carbin. The attendant closed the door and the ride started, climbing higher and higher. My heart was in my throat as I stared down at how far up we were going.I glance
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 44. A ride to the park
Alex POV “ Hey” I said softly.She looked up at me, her eyes tired for some reason. “ Hey”I walked over, my left hand in my pocket while the other loosened my tie, I gulped, “ Would you like to go out with me?”She blinked, confused. “What?”“To the amusement park,” I said quickly. “Just… a friendly date. We could go on the rides and just have fun. Normal things, nothing more.”She hesitated, biting her lip. “ Why should I do that? ”she asked.“ I just want us to get along well that's all” I said, trying to sound convincing. “ You can't stay at home and not go out. But if you don't want to it's fine”She looked at me for a few seconds as if trying to measure the possible danger if she'd go out with me.“Okay,” she whispered, after what seemed like eternity.“Okay,” I said, smiling a little.It wasn’t much, but it was a start._______________________________________Elena POV I watched Alex as he loosened his tie, looking less like the icy CEO I was used to and more…human. He seemed

Elena POV My heart was pounding very fast, I looked around feeling a little bit suffocated, my body heavy as I felt goosebumps on my skin. My hand racked my hair as I held my head feeling headache building up. He had left me again. He promised, he promised he wouldn't leave me alone and now he had. Lucas, Lucas what if he finds me here, what if he comes to get me and do those stuff he did to me that night. Tears stinging my eyes as I felt my chest become heavy. I need to get out of here, I need to leave this place before he finds me. I rushed to the door, opening it. Two black men in suits, one with dark sunglasses on and the other without one. They both turned to my direction “ Ma’am please get inside” the one with glasses said, approaching me. I stepped back looking at them frantically. Who were they? Are they here to take me back to Lucas? No, I will not surrender to them “ I will not” I shouted rushing past them but his second grabbed me while I struggled to release m
