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

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

Elena POV By the time we got to the house, the sky was already darker. Alex had called multiple times but I didn’t answer the phone.I knew what he was gonna say so why waste my time on the phone when it would just increase my already irritated feelings.I opened the door to find everywhere in the house eerily dark with no lights on for no reason. I was looking for the light switch when I felt someone behind me.A shadow that seems to blend well with the current darkness that has enveloped the house. It didn't take me a second to figure out who. “ Switch on the lights Alex” I said, but he didn't respond.“ Alex” I called again but still no response, only the creepy sound of the cricket outside followed.Getting frustrated I launched forward to where I felt he'd be sitting but as soon as I took two steps I felt a jolt of pain exude my body.I pressed my toes on the floor trying to suppress the pain.“ Alex,” I hissed, frowning.Only then did he switch on the lights. I glared at him h
Last Updated : 2025-02-11The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 53. Daydreaming again
Elena POV Alex chuckled and I flinged, realising I was in his arms. I bit my lips slightly. As much as this was scary I didn't want him to find what to tell me about but as I loosened my grip attempting to go back to the place I said before, he pressed me firmly on his chest not letting me go."What are you doing -?" I asked warily."Shush" he said, bringing me to sit down while he cuddled me. “ Don't move”"I don’t need you to—"Another thunderclap. My breath hitched, hugging him tightly.I should have pushed him away. Should have told him to leave.But I didn’t.His warmth seeped into me, strong arms holding me close, grounding me in a way I hadn't realized I needed."Just breathe," he murmured, his lips near my ear.I clenched my fists against his shirt, my pride battling the undeniable comfort of his embrace.Minutes passed. Maybe more.Then, just as my eyelids grew heavy, he spoke."You're the most stubborn woman I've ever met ,Elena."Well, that's something I couldn't deny if

Elena POV For some second the world stopped but after that what followed next was the Alex words filled with sarcasm. “ Did something enter your eyes, princess” I instantly opened my eyes and shot him an annoyed glare before quickly standing up to my feet, my face burning. “You—! That was—!” I stammered, at a complete loss for words. Alex sat up slowly, brushing a hand through his disheveled hair, looking completely unbothered. If anything, there was an infuriating smirk tugging at the corner of his lips. “What?” he said lazily, tilting his head. “It’s not my fault you fell on me.” I gaped at him. “You—you kissed me!” He raised a brow. “Technically, you kissed me.” Oh, I was going to lose my mind. “That wasn’t a kiss! It was—” I gestured wildly between us. “An accident! A—a gravity-induced misfortune!” Alex let out a low chuckle, shaking his head. “A gravity-induced misfortune? That’s a new one.” I scowled, crossing my arms. “Shut up.” Idiot He stood up, his height loomi

Elena POV I flinged thinking she had noticed something was off. At Least the main reason why we spent more time was so that I would not look injured in order not to worry Nana.“ Nana I-”“ Come on, I've asked the chef to prepare you a lot of dishes. You can choose your favourite from there”Realising she hadn't noticed I let out a sigh.After lunch, nana and nick left for the family house but the hill left only Alex and me once again in this big house.I tried persuading them to stay but she insisted that she wanted to leave so I agreed.Alex hadn't said much since we arrived. After lunch he also disappeared from his study without glancing back at me.So, after I finished cleaning in the kitchen I headed straight to my room to freshen up, ignoring whatever was wrong with him.Besides, my job here was to pretend and not actually show any sign of actual emotions.But was that really the case cos all afternoon even after nightfall I kept tossing and turning on the bed my mind unconscio
Last Updated : 2025-02-19The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 56. Knowing my place
Elena POV As we walked through every section of the mall, it was clear who the star of the day was. Catherine Stones -The fairy Princess of Las Vegas. Always perfect. Always radiant and flawless. The center of all attention. Nobody paid yield to me, a nobody. They only attended to her and left me like I didn't exist at all. Not like I'd care. I wonder how she still has the energy to still carry on shopping like she was made for it cause I was already tired. My legs ached from all the go here and there. Although she tagged me along I knew I didn't belong in this world. It wasn't my speciality. Just as finally thought this misery was about to end as we were about to exit the jewellery store, a voice stopped us. " Excuse me, miss," the store attendant dressed in a crisp white shirt and black short skirt approached me. I frowned, " yes?" The woman crossed her arms, her gaze sharp. " We need to check your bag, miss" My brow furrowed. " Why?" The security guard besid

Elena POV I turned my eyes meeting those familiar grey eyes boring into mine, his lips curling into a smirk.I rolled my eyes, not wanting to indulge or talk to him since he's been busy with his business lately. Not to talk of his attitude towards me changing immediately we got home.“ What do you want?” I asked blankly.“ Nothing much”“ Okay then, if you would excuse me I need to rest,” I quickly said, turning on my heels. But stopped mid way, suddenly remembering something. I turned to him.“ Knowing your connection and how fast news travels these days, I'm sure you are aware of the little incident that happened at the mall today?” I asked.Looking at his expression, it seems he did, so I continued without waiting for a reply “ I apologise for the incident if it affected you in any way. But might I remind you to please caution your…” not knowing how to address her, whether a friend or lover, either way I just left it hanging “ seeing how close you two are I think it would do us a

The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 74 - I will always love them
Elena POV “Good morning,” I said, suddenly feeling shy under her motherly gaze. There was a kindness in her eyes that I hadn’t felt in a while.“You’re early,” she smiled, brushing imaginary dust off my shoulder. “I love early birds.”The warmth inside her home was inviting. A faint floral scent hung in the air—roses and vanilla, maybe—and the furniture was neat but lived-in. Nothing pretentious. Just home.“Come,” she said, waving me into the kitchen. “I was just about to make us something. Pancakes? Or do you prefer something else?”“Pancakes are fine,” I smiled, settling onto one of the stools.She tied her apron, humming softly to herself as she worked. The sizzle of the batter hitting the pan made everything feel…normal. Comforting.She wasn't what I thought she would be. Judging by her demeanor I thought she would be the extravagant type but she is making breakfast for her and I.Suddenly, there I heard a tiny voice echo throughout the room. My smile sdes and I turned to see a
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 73- Stay away from her
Elena POV The sound of a door slamming—hard. Followed by the heavy stomp of boots against the floorboards.I froze in place.After a few seconds I slowly turned, the fridge still open, my heart on the edge of my throat as I tried as much as possible to control it.Alex stood there disheveled. He was slightly sweaty with his shirt half-unbuttoned. His hair was tousled like he'd been running his hands through it for hours. From here I could smell the strong smell of expensive alcohol and something else—bitterness, maybe.His eyes locked on mine, sharp and dark and... cold.He took a slow step forward. “What the hell do you think you're doing?”My throat dries instantly. “I—uh—I was just getting something to eat. I didn’t mean—”“I’m not talking about the damn food,” he snapped.I shrank back slightly, confusion and fear knotting in my chest. “Then what—”“ Jessica,” he bit out. “You went out with her today.”Oh. So he knew.“She asked me,” I said quickly, heart hammering. “I didn’t pl
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 72 - Call me mum
Elena POV I sucked in a breath, stunned at her effortless defense. Catherine’s face reddened, her fingers curling into fists at her sides.For a moment, it looked like she might argue, but then Alex’s mother delivered the final blow.“Now, if you’ll excuse us, my daughter-in-law and I have lunch to attend.”Catherine’s mouth opened, then snapped shut. She couldn’t argue with that without making a bigger fool of herself.Fuming, she turned on her heel and stormed off, her heels clicking against the marble floor.Looking at her angry back disappearing I couldn't help but smirk. This was the first time in a while that someone had defended me or stood up for me like that.I couldn't help but not think about my mom, in a way she hesibitrd the same character or maybe it's because I just missed her this much.It's been a long time since I visited her grave. Maybe sometime I'll drop by to check how she is doing.Alex’s mother turned to me, her expression softer now. “Shall we?” she asked, a
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 71- Her famous daughter in-law law
Elena POV I knew she must have heard the fight or probably seen it on the news on how I disgraced her son.But how embarrassing it would be if she ever knew the reason behind the fuse was my misunderstanding of her.Oh God!She softly raised my head up to look at her. “He loved you, you know,” she continued, her voice taking on a wistful tone. “That’s why it hurt him so much.”A sharp pang shot through my chest, and I looked away, unable to hold her gaze any longer. “I didn’t mean to hurt him,” I whispered.She sighed, letting go of my hand. “I know, dear. Sometimes, life doesn’t give us choices.”There was something in her tone—something deeper, something unsaid. Like she wasn’t just talking about me and Alex but about herself too. I glanced at her, but she was already looking away, her fingers tracing the petals of a nearby rose.“I never wanted to leave Alex and Nick,” she said suddenly, and I froze. “They were my world. But I had no choice.”I looked at her then, truly looked at
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride Chapter 70 - Too late for apologies
Elena POV “ What?…wasn't that what you wanted?” he snapped. “ You didn't care about any of this and you wanted your freedom so bad that you went on to humiliate and insult my pride.”“ That's not true, Alex” my voice came out in a choking whisper. “You don't have to wait any longer. I'll sort everything out and once that happens you'll get the freedom you so crave for.” He paused before continuing almost immediately.“ Of course with your payment in full and profit included”His words hit me like a punch to the gut, and I felt tears prick at the corners of my eyes. “That’s not true,” I repeated, my voice breaking. I felt the urge arising to explain things to him. To tell him I really didn't mean for any of this to happen but it was obvious enough that I really had hurt him“I cared, Alex. I still care.”He laughed again, but there was no humor in it. “ Well then, you have a funny way of showing it.”I took a step closer, desperate to make him understand. “I was scared, okay? I didn’
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
