Last Updated : 2024-11-08The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 7. Unwanted Obligations
Elena's POV I woke up feeling sore all over, my eyes still closed, unwilling to face another day in this cage. Exhaling, I massaged my neck before standing up and heading into the bathroom.It's been a week since my pretend marriage with Alex, and it's been hell. I knew I would regret my decisions one way or another, but I never thought it would be this soon.Every day was a different problem. Sometimes, I wish that I wouldn't wake up. It was either a function or a charity event or something I didn't even know that rich people do and now I was under an obligation by the contract not to leave on my own will.I sighed, standing in front of the mirror which revealed a figure I couldn't unrecognize. I could barely recognise myself. Tired, swollen black eyes with no sense of confidence. I look no different from when I was in the hotel. I ran my hand in my hair trying to regain some sense of confidence if I had one. You signed the contract, Elena; you agreed to this It didn't matter how

“ Can I hear two thousand?” I shifted on my seat, my heart pounding loudly in my chest drowning out everything else.Why was my house on display? Didn't Pete sell it to some agency? That shouldn't be my focus now but those questions clouded my thoughts.My nails dug into my skin as I tightened my fist. I had no money to compete with these rich dogs that screamed of arrogance.All I could do was watch helplessly as my house was auctioned off. UnlessI glanced at Alex, who looked uninterested in what was going on. I bit my lower lips mustering up the courage before my last chance slipped away. “ Alex,” I tugged at his arm.He shifted his gaze to me and I gulped. He was my only option if I wanted to get my house back. This was my chance and I wouldn't waste it“ Alex, can you bid for this house, it's very important to me” he didn't say anything but just stared at me as the bidding fee got higher. “ Please”, my voice raised impatiently.“ I don't waste money on unimportant things,” he

Elena POV She picked up the phone with excitement clearly showing on her face as her eyes sparkled.“ Oh I forgot! Alex, you and Elena, dear,” she took my hand, “will be going on a vacation to Sweden.” her excitement bubbling more “ I have reserved a nice place for you guys to bond”I didn't know what to feel. I just looked at Alex, hoping he would refuse this, and he didn't fail.“ Nana, no one's going anywhere “ he said “ I am busy and I still have to”“ I have cancelled all your appointments and your schedules, so you have no excuse,” she interrupted. “ But Nana”“ No buts, you're going whether you like it or not,” she demanded, shooting him a death glare “Wonder why she fell in love with you” she teased“ Just as you fell in love with Grandpa”, he shot back, making her stand, dragging his ears, and cursing him.I just smiled, looking down. There was something about their relationship I wish I had. The love they shared for each other was undeniable and It made me feel a little b
Last Updated : 2024-11-12The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 10. Maid for the day
Elena POV I stepped back, not wanting him close. My back hit the wall behind me, letting him close the distance between us, leaving us in a breath of space.“ Then what are you doing walking in front of my study at this time of the night” he leaned in, his voice dropped to a murmur, low and chilling.A jolt of pain shot through my body as my legs stepped on the broken vase, a gasp escaping my lips “ Ouch,” I hissed, glancing down to see blood beginning to pool beneath my bare foot.Alex's gaze shifted instantly, his eyes narrowing at the sight of the blood. In one swift move, he dropped his cold demeanour, replacing it with concern.“ You're bleeding” he muttered, his voice laced with concern. Without a word, he scooped me up in a bridal style.“I'm fine” I protested, my cheeks flushing at the sudden closeness. Forgetting that I was in the hands of someone who was threatening to kill someone a while ago. But he ignored me, walking towards our room.He lay me on the bed gently, grabbi

Elena POV Both of our attention turned to where the sound came from. It turns out it was just a maid being reckless. Alex, on the other hand, didn't want to leave me alone. He just stood there with his back facing me. After several failed attempts to convince him, I gave upI decided to bathe with him there, making it the most uncomfortable and the longest bath I’d ever had.After bathing he scooped me up as usual, in a bridal style, then carried me to the dresser. “ I can walk, you know” I insisted.“ And I can see that” he replied teasingly, setting me on the chair to face the mirror. I thought he was going to leave me now but he took the hair dryer and began using it on my hair.His hand tangled with my hair making me flench a little. I could hear my heartbeat reverberating in my ear, quickening with every second.As much as I liked this treatment it wasn't something I was used to. Pete never had time to do these things or even think of doing them.This attention, this care, none
Last Updated : 2024-11-15The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 12. Losing My Cool
Elena's POV Would I call what I was feeling jealous? No. I refuse to feel that way even though it was disappointing to know that he had a family. Nana wasn't aware of it as far as I'm concerned, or was she? For the past two weeks, I had tried my best to keep my distance, reminding myself that what I had felt before was just an illusion. It was a fleeting mistake that I thought there were men like him, after all, who had hearts behind those cold demeanours. But I was wrong. What if I was the one in her position? I wouldn't like it. With everything I had gone through, I felt and understood her pain. Even though I knew nothing about their relationship, that night when I overheard him talking to someone threateningly, it kept playing on my mind. Maybe she was the other one at the end of the call. Maybe not. Either way, I shouldn't care. As a matter of fact, I shouldn't be giving a shit about his private life. Keep it low and simple. My work here was simple: to only be his
Last Updated : 2024-11-16The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 13. They're all the same
Elena's POV " Wha…what are you doing here?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.Nick Jackson, my good old friend from high school. I never thought I'd see anyone from high school as I shut everyone out of my life.I totally disconnected myself from the outside world., My life was just based on going to work, coming back home, eating, sleeping, and then doing it all again.There was nothing special about my life back then. Well…not until you know who came. I guess because of the depressed state I was in, I took my illusions way beyond making me blind to reality.Nick and I weren't very close back at school, but we had a history. He was always this kind of nerdy guy in class, and I was his seat partner.But why was he here with someone like Alex? Nick's eyes darted nervously, his glasses slipping down the bridge of his nose like they always do back in school.He pushed them back up, smiling. Alex stood there, radiating confidence. I could feel his gaze on me but I didn't care.“

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 "
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 55. Friends my foot.
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
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 54. Crossing the line
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
The 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
The Billionaire's Accidental Bride 52. You drive me crazy
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
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
