The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 35. Trouble in paradise
~Alex~ Was it worth it ? Even though Nana had threatened me earlier that if I ruined this, she was going to pluck out my livers. She always threatens me, always with death but this one seemed quite serious, just like when she threatened to take away my inheritance.Nana was the type of person not to like many people or even any human. Something we have in common.The only time I had seen her this lively and enthusiastic about anything was when my father was still alive.When everything was still nice and okay in the family. When I was just a little naive boy that had both his parents' love.Funny how just one night everything went down the drain, left and abandoned at such a young age to cater for myself.She’d already rejected countless women I brought home. None of them were ever enough. Even Catherine, who I knew Nana detested, wasn’t spared her judgment.Nana had been the one to push for this marriage. And now, I could feel the disappointment hanging over me like a curse.I swi

~Elena~I woke up to the sunlight hitting my face through the curtains, warm and soft. I stretched, still half asleep and reached out for Alex's side of the bed.Empty I frowned, running my hands over his bed space with my eyes still lazily closed. It was cold, like he didn't lay there last night.But if he didn't come home last night, where would he go? I dozed off last night while waiting for him. Sitting up I glanced around the room, everything seemed normal, nothing seemed out of place except for the fact that Alex was nowhere to be found.Weird.I got out of bed, rubbing my eyes as I walked to the bathroom to check if he was there, but he wasn't. I checked the closet and his clothes were still there.Where could he have gone since last night? Was he still annoyed that I shouted at him out of anger?Oh come on, he's been such a baby if it's because of that. I mean I was annoyed he should have confronted me not hid or has he left me here.No, no, no. My heart raced anxiously, whi

Elena POV “ Lucas!? How did you get my phone number” I asked, a little bit surprised.“ I have my ways” I stared at the screen, the soft glow illuminating my furrowed brows. The fuck. This wasn’t normal. I never gave him my number. He didn’t even ask for it. How the hell did he—“This is starting to get creepy,” I muttered under my breath.“Creepy?” His voice hummed with amusement, as if he found the idea of unsettling me entertaining. “Come on, Elena. Don’t be so dramatic.”I exhaled slowly, shifting on the edge of my bed “ okay, what do you want?” I asked, trying to keep the irritation from creeping into my voice.“I wanted to talk to you” he said plainly, making doubts to invade my thoughts.If I'm not mistaken this was an act of stalking someone because why would he call me at this hour of the day to just talk, even though he got my contact details without my consent. But why? There's definitely something up with him. “ You just wanted to talk?” I asked curiously “ Lucas, I-”

~Elena~“ Urgh” I hissed. He was now close to me caressing my cheeks and sniffing me up like a maniac. “ Why are you doing this Lucas?” I said, struggling to hide the pain in my voice.He stopped looking at me , his eyes now dark. “ I have been wanting to do this ever since I met you at the garden looking all weak and fragile.” He touched my cheeks and I shook my head now disgusted. I shouldn't have come here , I shouldn't have. But I wouldn't let the alcohol nor Lucas get through me.I have made a mistake and now I have to face it atleast find a way to get out of this hell. “ You shouldn't have brought me here, my husband will kill you when he finds out,” I said, hoping that could put enough scare into him.But he chuckled, grabbing my jaw aggressively. “ Do you think I care about some husband that abandoned you here?” he paused as if expecting an answer.“ No, I would do things to you that you've never imagined a man would do to you.” And with that he threw me like some bag of unw

Elena POV The shout cut through the air like a bolt of lightning, and for the briefest of moments, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. I turned my head, my vision still blurry, and there stood Alex, I could see the fury in his face. Those grey eyes, usually so cold and composed, were now filled with rage, pure, unfiltered rage burning that radiates from his entire body.Lucas, startled, took a step back, he's holding on to me loosening and I quickly sat up, leaning on the edge of the couch. Alex didn’t give him a chance to react. He charged forward, grabbing Lucas by the collar and shoving him across the room, sending him crashing into the wall with a sickening thud.“Touch her again, and I swear I’ll make you regret it,” Alex growled, his voice dripping with menace.Lucas coughed, trying to regain his composure when Alex pulled him up again this time pinning him against the wall like his weight was nothing. I could barely see what was happening now, my body trembling with the s

Elena POV “ No, no, please leave me alone” I shouted , pulling the blanket tightly around me like a shield.My heart pounded in my chest and my breath hitched like I was gasping for air. Yesterday's event played uncontrollably in my head and I feared he was still somewhere in this room, hiding in the corners, looking at me.My eyes wandered around trying to catch sight of Lucas, sweat dripping from my forehead as the door slammed open revealing Alex.“ You're awake” he said, rushing towards me, his eyes wide and frantic.He rushed towards me, kneeling beside the bed. His hands found mine but I shoved them away.“ Don't touch me” I said, my voice cracked, and I couldn't tell if it was fear or anger.“ Elena look at me,” he said softly, cupping my cheeks and turning them to look up at him. “ It's me. You're safe now”I blinked my eyes fast as tears threatened to spill out exhaling sharply. I allowed him to pull me against his chest, sinking into his embrace and didn't want to let go.

Elena POV I took my brush and applied toothpaste to it while still staring at the mirror. I dug it into my mouth, scrubbing and making sure that his saliva wasn't there anymore. That my mouth was clean from his.I didn't care if the lips where he bit was bleeding once again, I just wanted my mouth clean and void from his.I didn't stop there, I took off my clothes taking a sponge and soap making sure to scrub every inch of my body to equally get rid of his touch.Again, I didn't care if I scrubbed my skin too hard till it reddened, everywhere, everything, every memory of last night, I must make sure I had gotten rid of it.And when I was finally satisfied, I bent down letting the cold water from the shower run down my body, washing away every bit of Lucas from my body.Tears fell from my eyes uncontrollably, as I hugged my knees. It was all over. No one was coming to get me, I am safe. No one was coming to get me, no one. I tried reassuring myself. My body shivered due to the long

Elena POV I shifted uncomfortably, trying to stand. “Alex, let me go.”His grip only tightened. “No.”“ Alex let me go” I insisted but he held me firmly on his lap.I couldn't struggle with him for too long. The more I struggled the more my body weakened and his grip on me got stronger.“ No I will not,” he said after I had calmed down a little.“Alex—”“I said no,” he repeated, his tone hardening. “You’re not leaving this spot until you eat something.”I stilled for a moment, catching my breath as the fight drained from my body. His warmth pressed against me, and for reasons I couldn’t explain, the tension in my shoulders began to unravel just slightly.After a few quiet seconds, I heard him sigh, his breath brushing against my neck.“Please,” he muttered, his tone softer this time, but it still held this sharp edge to his word.I swallowed hard, staring at the untouched soup still sitting on the tray.Today, I have heard him mistakenly say sorry and beg me.

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
