All Chapters of Accidental Billionaire Love : Chapter 61 - Chapter 70

Ian's body sunk into the bed, the worn upholstery offering little comfort as he processed the weight of his recent actions. The echoes of the adrenaline-fueled confrontation reverberated in his mind like a relentless drumbeat, each thud reminding him of the choices that had led them to this precarious moment.Ashley, still reeling from the shock, sat opposite him. Her eyes, wide and wary, held a mixture of fear and confusion. The silence between them was palpable, pregnant with unspoken words that hung heavy in the air. The room that was filled with warm and fuzzy feelings before felt more like a battleground, he accepted the fault.With a heavy sigh, Ian broke the silence again, his voice carrying the burden of self-reproach. "I didn't want you to feel unsafe, but I should have handled that differently."Ashley's gaze lingered on him, her eyes probing for a deeper understanding. The room seemed to contract around them as they grappled with the repercussions of his impulsive decision.

Ian detached from Ashley to follow Yu Zhen. Something disgusting was brewing and he didn’t like it at all. Why did Mark decide to give over the reins of his company to help their father? Mark was never one to like working under another person, so it seemed utterly fishy.He sat at his laptop with Yu Zhen linking it to his phone so he could see what Yu Zhen was seeing.“When are they planning on announcing the merging?”, Ian asked seriously, checking through their stocks. No wonder Mark’s stock prices had been reducing, he was luring people back to his side, the fickle people Ian had won over with the help of his wife – she was really convincing when it came to talking to people. Mark and Reid were planning on taking the market by surprise, winning people over to their side. It was a good thing he had all the important shares, they could never get the Hills Corp.“Next month, now I have worse news”, Yu Zhen said, his voice thick with anger. Ian furrowed his brows. What was with the we

Ian tore a wad of papers that had just been handed to him by his assistant. An entire team of people cowered in front of his desk as he delivered the most depressing speech anyone would ever get the misfortune of hearing.“Useless. Every single one of you”, he ended and threw the entire stack to the floor. “Fix it”, he growled and looked to Yu Zhen for them to be kicked out. Yu Zhen closed his eyes in helplessness as he gently shooed seventy percent of the company’s employees away. Truly,, he had slacked off, but they didn’t deserve to bear the weight of Ian’s general disposition. He had been subjected to it multiple times in the past week.Ian had not slept a wink in ten days, he was snappy to his family and friends, horrible to his employees and rude to Ashley, of all people. He knew what Ian was trying to do and it was ridiculously stupid, even for him. He expected Ian to try to reenact cute moments or lovey-lovey moments, not snippets of a time she literally hated him.“We need to

Yu Zhen had been sitting on wires ever since Ashley had pulled Ian into that room. He was convinced Ashley would come out crying because Ian was a crazy man on a mission. A small part of him held out some hope that Ian would act normal to his wife but he quickly dismissed that. Ian was a man filled with determination, focus and sheer will. Ashley couldn’t have come at a worse time. It took everything in his body to not move to that door to eavesdrop on the two of them, but he owed the decency to Ashley at least. He had never listened in on any conversation about her, and he wasn’t about to start now.“Calm down Yu Zhen, she’ll be able to calm him down”, Kevin grinned, like a fool that he wanted to pummel. This was all his fault. If he had kept his mouth shut instead of calling Ashley, Yu Zhen wouldn’t be praying on behalf of Ashley’s mental health.He knew letting Kevin know about Ashley would be a mistake. He should have just kept her anonymous with everyone like the plan was suppos

Ashley furrowed her brows, her mind was already going seven hundred miles a minute. Ian couldn’t do that, Ian wasn’t like everybody else. She was chanting it over and over. He was a man of honor and he would never cheat.She couldn’t even remember two percent of their entire married life but she just knew Ian wouldn’t be like anyone she had dated…at least she hoped.“Is that all?”, Ian asked glumly, his entire countenance deadpan.“Perhaps I’ll call again when she’s tortured beyond measure”, the disembodied voice said and Ian dropped the call to immediately touch the side of Ashley’s face. “I know you’re worried-”“I’m not wor-”, Ashley tried to interrupt but Ian continued talking anyway.“But you don’t have to be, my heart didn’t even work before you. You’re its sole commander”, he said seriously, trying to drill in the fact that he was practically useless without her into her head.Ashley’s face gradually reddened till she had to look away.Ian rested on the car door to admire his
