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'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

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.

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

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

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

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

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 Chapter 69- I'm sorry
Elena POV Nick “I thought you had left?” I whispered while walking to him.“ Left? Well I was supposed to buy them. His majesty had important documents to sort out and I had to help even though I'm not his assistant. He really needs one don't you think?” He smirked at me and I pulled him away from the door.“ Com’on I'm hungry, wanna eat?” Without allowing him to respond, I dragged him all the way down to the kitchen. Once I was in the kitchen I let out a breath that I was holding all the way through. Some part of me thanked God it wasn't Alex because what could I have done.How could I have reacted? What could I have said?I opened the refrigerator trying to get something to fix myself and Nick when he suddenly said, “ don't you think you should also fix some for Alex he seems to want it more than I do”I took a bottle of orange juice and a half eaten cake out of the fridge turning to him with a glare. “ When you're done making me seem like a bad person, make sure to cut me some
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 68- What do I do?
Elena POV “ She’s our mother,”he said quietly, his voice almost too soft to hear.Another bombshell. I froze.“What?”Nick’s jaw tightened, and for the first time, he looked genuinely uncomfortable. “The woman you saw with Alex. She’s not his wife. She’s our mother.”My brain couldn’t process the words. It felt like the floor had been ripped out from under me.“Wait… what?”Nick sighed, running a hand down his face. “I was going to tell you but I didn't think it was necessary at that point but now I feel like you should know since it's going to affect something dear to you.”I stared at him, my heart pounding in my chest. “You’re serious?”“Yeah,” he said. “Dead serious.”For a moment, I didn’t know what to say. My mind was racing, trying to piece everything together, but it wasn’t making sense.Alex had told me that she was dead so how was is it possible that she was alive and healthy? This all doesn't make sense.“After you disappeared, I had no choice but to go back to the Donovan
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 67- Stranger things
The moment those words left my mouth I knew I would regret it. He stood up staring at me, his expression unreadable. The room, which had already been deathly silent, now felt dangerously dead. I heard the sharp inhale of breath from someone—Jane, maybe. The sound of shifting bodies. But my attention was locked on Alex. He didn’t move. Didn’t react. Just stood there, staring at me, his expression unreadable. The tension was suffocating. I should have felt victorious. But for some reason, I felt like I had just stepped too close to the edge of a cliff. My head was spinning, my vision getting blurrier. I wanted to steady myself but I couldn't hold it anymore so I placed my hands on the table too. Then— Alex turned. Just like that. Without a single word, he straightened, adjusting his cufflinks with precise, measured movements then he looked at Grace. "Take her home," he said. His tone was calm—too calm. One that's distant and sent a shiver through my bones. Grace hesitated
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 66 - I think I crossed the line
Elena POV Laughter bubbled around the table in the private suite that Alex of course arranged. The low hum of chatter and clicking glasses filling the dimly lit room.Right on the table on front of me were grilled meat and expensive whiskey. That's not all cause they were varieties of foods lined up on the table too. Even though everybody were busy chattering away and having the time of their life I couldn't ignore the cold presence and piercing eyes boring into me.Alex sat directly across from me. He was quite an unreasonable expression plastered on his face. Jos arms stretched to the sofa leaning on it his head tilted back.Even though I didn't want our eyes to met, my gaze flickeredbtowards him every minute but he's didn't. He was watching me - no studying me - like he wanted to devour me.My fingers tightened under the table. I bit my lower lips forcing myself to be distracted and not think about him. I refuse to give him that satisfaction.As I was deep in my thoughts Jane sn
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 65 - A chance to relax
Elena POV He studied me for a moment before speaking. “ Here” he pushed a box of food to my front. “You didn't eat lunch today.” I stiffened, caught off guard by the unexpected shift but my face remained unfazed. “I did.” His brow lifted slightly. “You barely left your office.” I looked away, not wanting to meet his eyes as irritation flaring in my chest. “I wasn’t hungry and I'm not now.” Silence stretched between us. When I finally glanced back at him, his gray eyes were unreadable, his dark eyes making my heart clench. He looked slightly disheveled but still had a God-like appearance. Looking at him closer you would see the dark circles that had formed under his eyes. I clenched the hem of my shirt biting my lips. Why was he looking like this? Doesn't he rest? No, Alex cares about his appearance as he does about his business, just a mere argument between us won't affect him. “Elena…” His voice was softer now, but before he could say anything else that would make me chan
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 64 - Avoiding him was a waste of time.
Elena POV “ Madam?” The maid called softly at the other side of the door.I stood up without responding and walked towards the door. “ Yes?”I opened it to reveal the maid with a trolley and on it the exact same food I saw in Alex's study.“ What is all this?” I asked, my eye brow knitting in confusion“ Mr Alex said to bring this to you as he noticed you've been in your room and probably haven't had anything yet to eat.” She said with a smile on her face.“ and I have microwaved it, ma’am”"This is ridiculous," I muttered under my breath, staring at the food for a while before stepping aside for her to take it inside the room.I sat in front of the food not knowing whether to eat or not. Not like there's something wrong with the food.As a matter of fact I was so famished but for what reason, because I didn't want to face the woman that I sat in her position with.I was ashamed of myself even after knowing he had a wife. I still stayed and allowed myself to fall for him.No.It's al
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 63 - We're both adults.
Elena POV Silence spread throughout the room like wildfire. It took a while before I could look up at Alex again.I looked at him waiting, searching and anticipating his reaction. He just tilted his head back, the before amusement leaving his eyes and replaced with a sudden chill that could suppress me whole.I couldn't tell from his reaction what he was thinking. He just looked at me with a calm expressionless face like the words I said didn't border him.I steadied my nerves, biting my lips “ last night…”“ What happened last night?” He asked, his voice echoing like a beating drum.“ Last night we..” I paused, coming to a realisation. “ Mr Alex, I don't need to remind you of what occured between us last night. It was a mistake that won't happen again”I tried sounding as nonchalant as possible even though inside me was raging for no apparent reason. It's not like we did something intense yesterday night.We're adults, aren't we?I could see the muscle in his jaw tick, but he remain
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 62 - An unplanned mistake
Elena's POV For the rest of the day I stayed in my room, not wanting to come face to face with his wife.I'm sure she must have heard of me taking her position and must have some disdainful thoughts towards me but that's less of my worries right now.Infact I shouldn't be even thinking about it too much. All I should do now is secure my exit from this place so I won't get hurt too much.Whatever happened between me and Alex was far from anything meaningful. It was nothing. A mistake that shouldn't have happened. Normally I thought that him showing some care after that incident at the club would account that he has feelings for me or the night that he held me shielding me from the horrifying sounds of thunder, I thought he might have some feelings for me.Whether he did or didn't, it doesn't matter. Nothing matters now that his real wife is back with his child.Everything we've shared, all memories, would be gone within a twinkle of an eye.I wasn't from his world but I came into it
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 61 - Alex's long lost wife
Elena POV The next morning, a light tickling sensation on my face stirred me from sleep. Without opening my eyes, I instinctively swatted at it, unwilling to wake up just yet. A comforting warmth surrounded me, unfamiliar yet oddly familiar, pulling me deeper into its embrace. It was so soothing that I instinctively snuggled closer, seeking more of it. As I nestled into the warmth, a strong hand suddenly wrapped around me, pulling me in completely. My cheek rested against a firm, warm surface, and curiosity made my fingers trail over it absentmindedly—until a deep, rumbling hum cut through the silence. “ Haven't had enough, cupcakes?” My eyes flew open, and my body went rigid. I was lying on top of Alex's shirtless chest! What the hell? Realization hit me like a shockwave, and I immediately tried to pull away. But before I could move, his arms tightened around me, holding me in place. He bent his head slightly, his lips brushing against my collarbone, sending an unexpecte
