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

Elena's POV Standing in front of the altar, my heart boomed with excitement. I was getting married today and most importantly to the one I love, Pete. Nothing excites me more than having the thought of being with him for the rest of my life. He didn't have much but he was more than what I could ever ask for. I loved him regardless and now, I was about to be his bride. The night he had proposed was the happiest I had ever been. It felt like all my dreams were finally coming true, at once. The cake, decorations and scenery of the place gave it all, everything was so perfect. When he bent down on one knee with his hands stretched out holding the ring, I couldn't contain the amount of excitement bubbling within me. I didn't wait for him to even find his words before shouting “yes” After five years of being together he finally proposed. It felt like my world stopped. The church decor wasn't dreamy or exquisitely luxurious but it was just the perfect fix for me. Simple but

Alex POV The VIP chamber boomed with echoes of laughter, energy and music from the bar downstairs. I drummed my fingers impatiently on my lap as I stared at the exit door of the chamber awaiting the arrival of Catherine. A glass of barley whiskey with a white paper written boldly on it, Marriage Certificate, rested on the table beside me but I wasn't in the mood to drink. I wasn't one who condoled lateness. I hated it more than anything. Catherine was supposed to be here before me waiting for me but now it's the other way round. “ Where the hell is she?”I glared coldly at Peter, my bodyguard who had no clue. “ Sir, I'll go get her,” he replied, still not knowing what to do. He quickly exited the club and almost immediately as he existed did the door swing open with a loud crash. My attention quickly shifted to the door, “ what kept-” instead of Catherine, a drunk woman in a white wedding dress stumbled into the room. Her long, blonde hair roughly playing on her face, her ey

I walked aimlessly on the almost empty street. My chest tightens as tears roll down silently on my cheeks. The early morning rays of sunshine played gently on my skin, caressing it softly. I wasn't sure if I was going in the right direction to my house. All I just wanted right now was to hide myself away from all the chaos surrounding me. How could I have imagined that my seemingly perfect life was now the opposite of what I had feared. In my entire life with Pete I had never anticipated that he would do such things to me. Was I this blinded by the love and affection I so long craved that I ignored the signs even the obvious ones?. The street blurred against my vision as I fought so hard to keep the tears from falling but I couldn't, the pain of betrayal and abandonment by the one person that I could actually turn to was too much for me. Tears of pain kept rolling down as I tried to figure out where everything all started. How it all began, where it all began? These questions

I sat on a bench just outside my apartment staring blankly at nothing. Drifting over the streets but found nothing to hold onto. Nothing was left of me anymore, no place to lay my head, no food, and worst part no money. A breeze playing with my hair strands, scattering it all over my face but I don't care. it didn't matter anymore. When I had seen those frantic texts earlier, my heart raced in my chest in a million marathon. I blinked seeing the figure being withdrawn from my bank account. I opened the bank app hoping it was all a lie, but the numbers remain stubbornly low. Pete and I, life savings were all gone with nothing remaining. A cold sweat broke on my forehead, my hands trembled, unable to hold the phone steady. I knew that when he suggested eagerly to open a joint account for the both of us claiming it was for our future, there was more to it. But I was so blinded with the delusion of being in love. A very stupid choice to make that I regret so dearly now. When t

“We need to talk” The message appeared boldly on my phone screen. I stared intensely at it. My heartbeat was pounding in my ears a little bit louder. I knew who the sender was. Alexander Donovan, one of the most eligible bachelors in the country. A cold and aloof business man, a tyrant in the business world. So does the magazine I always read, says. The stranger I had signed a marriage certificate with forcefully. Being occupied with my feelings for Pete made me forget something this important. A heavy sigh escaped from my mouth. Having nowhere else to go and not wanting to go back to that coven to be dealt with by the memories of Pete, I decided to face this music once and for all. “ Driver, turn the car” I sighed “ take me to blue orchid restaurant” The blue orchid was dimly lit. Filled with exquisite people that screamed wealth and power. As I stepped in, I instantly felt out of place. With my dressing and worn out sneakers, it surely made me stand out. But does It matter,

Elena POV Stepping into Alexander Donovan's world was like consciously stepping into a trap. I knew things would never be the same again but I had no choice, did I?This was my only chance to get back everything that was stolen by Pete and repay him with what he left me.A spineless nobody.I had no one, no family to turn to, so when an opportunity like this was brought to me in a platter of gold, of course, I couldn't allow it to slip from my hands.This was a chance to make things right and if worse comes to worse, I would just face it head-on. A soft knock on the door brought me back to reality. I tucked back a strand of my hair behind my ear as I shoved the last piece of clothes I had.Opening the door, I found a man dressed in a black and white suit with dark shades who took my bags without a word and headed downstairs, leaving me to follow behind, mentally preparing myself for what was to come.We had to live together to make it believable that we were a couple enough.

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
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 60. Something to regret
Elena POV But for all I know he should be with her—the woman who had come back after all these years. Instead, he was standing here, drunk and falling apart in my arms.I swallowed back the emotions threatening to rise. Now wasn’t the time for questions.With great effort, I guided him toward my bed, lowering him onto the edge. He groaned, rubbing a hand over his face. His normally sharp, unreadable eyes were clouded, his expression worn.He lies lazily, losing his tie, his big slender hand grasping his forehead as he tries to soothe the impact of the alcohol. I stared at him for some seconds before inhaling and exhaling sharply.His hair that was usually perfect l Hel was now in his array and his buttons were undone.“I’ll get you some water,” I said, quickly turning toward the nightstand.Before I could take a step, his fingers wrapped around my wrist, pulling me into a sudden embrace.The sudden pull made me hot my back softly but suddenly on the bed before I could blink an eye.H
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 59. His lost wife returns
Elena POV I leaned against the railings of the balcony, letting out a soft breath and staring at the clear night sky.My mind drifted to everything that had happened since the day I was left on the altar. I was far from wishing for a calm and peaceful life now.The only thing I could do to help myself was survive, especially from Catherine. Wonder what trouble she'd cause next.As I was lost in thought, a deep familiar voice startled me back to reality. “ well that was quite a show”I turned to find Nick standing there, arms crossed, an amused look in his eyes.I chuckled, shaking my head “ you saw?” “ Saw it? I practically want to frame it and hang it on the wall” he grinned, “ I thought the old Catherine I knew in school was gone but after this, I definitely know she's buried somewhere there.”I sighed, “ I allowed her the first time to have her way but won't allow for a second or third time” Nick's eyes softened, grabbing my cheek “ good, you shouldn't let anyone trample over yo
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 58. I know the game too
Elena POV The grand hail was lit up in dazzling golden lights, laughter and chatter filling the air as Alex and I walked hand in hand locked in.I smiled softly not wanting to arouse any suspicion as our engagement has been announced to the public even though grandma has agreed to wait, the news still circulated the internet.I could fill all the gaze on me as I strode to Nana who was standing with two other elderlies of her caliber. All dressed in exotic clothing.From their appearance you could tell they were wealthy and held authority.Nana smiled, holding out her hands as I walked close. I sealed the hug smiling back at her." Happy birthday, Nana" I said hesitantly, giving her the emerald necklaces I had gotten for her a while ago.Honestly I was skeptical about giving her because the necklace looked cheap but either way if she didn't like it I could prepare something else for her." Oh my, look" she opened it showing the two guests beside her. " My granddaughter-in-law got this
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 57. Friend or lover
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 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 beside her stepped closer "

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
