All Chapters of Accidentally Married to the Billionaire: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Ava Jensen's head felt like a herd of stampeding elephants had paraded through it. Groaning, she cracked open one gummy eyelid, instantly regretting letting in the blazing shaft of morning sunlight.What the hell happened last night?Her mouth was drier than the Sahara Desert, and something hard was digging into her hip. She slowly shifted, wincing at the jackhammer pounding against her skull.That's when she realized she was totally naked. And someone's heavy arm was wrapped around her waist.Ava's eyes shot open despite the searing pain. Next to her in the rumpled bed was a large, muscular form buried under the sheets. A very male, very naked form.Oh my god. What did I do?Panic gripped her as flashes of tequila shots and grinding bodies on a dance floor rampaged through her throbbing head. She had to get out of here. Like, right now.Gingerly rolling away from the sleeping stranger, Ava grabbed at the sheets to cover herself and slid out of the bed. The plush cream carpet embraced

Jackson's mouth devoured Ava's with overwhelming possession. His large hands cupped her face, tilting her head to deepen their searing kiss. She could taste the sweet cinnamon of his tongue as it invaded her, stoking her body into feverish surrender.This wasn't some sloppy, drunken make-out at a dive bar. No, Jackson Reynolds kissed like a man who'd been starving for decades - ravenous for her, claiming her utterly as his own. The demanding flex of his sculpted lips and the prickle of his day-old stubble set every one of Ava's nerves alight.She knew this was so wrong - that she should be shoving him off with every ounce of strength. Calling for security, running as far from his ravenous clutches as possible. But instead, her fingers tangled into that thick, glossy hair as a helpless whimper escaped her lips.How could she possibly resist the earth-scorching passion of a billionaire alpha like Jackson? A man who had the world and everything in it at his feet, yet craved her specifica

"What the hell are you doing here, Jackson?" Ava demanded, hastily ending the call with Matty and whirling to face her looming husband.His eyes flashed, jaw tightening. "We have an urgent situation. Harrison is waiting for us downstairs."Ava crossed her arms. "I'm not going anywhere with you until you tell me what's happening!"Jackson raked a hand through his hair, clearly agitated. "Suffice it to say, new information has come to light that affects both of us. We need to get our stories aligned before this meeting.""What kind of information?" Ava pressed. The look on his face made her stomach clench."The kind that could blow up my company and our little arrangement here," he bit out. "Harrison doesn't make unannounced visits unless it's serious."Ava's mind raced with possibilities as she followed Jackson out of the bedroom. His lawyer had dirt on their drunken wedding night...or her trashy background...or both. Panic rose in her throat.As they entered the opulent study, Harriso

"You clean up nice," Jackson murmured appreciatively as Ava descended the grand staircase.She fought the urge to tug at the hem of her dress, a scrap of crimson silk that clung to every curve. "Amazing what a designer label can do."Jackson's eyes gleamed as he took her arm, his touch searing through the thin fabric. "It's not the dress, Ava. It's you."Ava's heart stuttered at the compliment, but she brushed it off. Empty flattery, that's all it was. A means to an end.As they glided into the ballroom, the opulence took Ava's breath away. Crystal chandeliers cast a golden glow over the cream-and-gilt space, waiters wove through the crowd with trays of champagne, and a string quartet played softly in the corner.It was like stepping into a fairy tale...or a gilded cage."Mr. Reynolds! So glad you could make it." A silver-haired man in a tuxedo approached, his smile wide and polished. "And who is this stunning creature?"Jackson's hand tightened on Ava's waist. "Senator Bradshaw, allo

"Ava, darling! You look absolutely stunning!"The effusive compliment startled Ava out of her brooding thoughts. She turned to see a stylish older woman gliding towards her, arms outstretched."I'm sorry, do I know you?" Ava asked, plastering on a polite smile."Oh, forgive me! I'm Evelyn, Jackson's mother." The woman air-kissed Ava's cheeks, enveloping her in a cloud of expensive perfume. "I've been dying to meet the woman who finally snagged my son!"Ava's smile felt frozen on her face. Jackson's mother. The one person who might see through their charade."It's so lovely to meet you, Evelyn. Jackson's told me so much about you." The lie tripped off her tongue with surprising ease.Evelyn trilled a laugh. "All good things, I hope! Now, let me look at you." She held Ava at arm's length, her gaze assessing. "Well, aren't you just a vision! No wonder Jackson's been hiding you away."Ava fought the urge to squirm under that penetrating stare. Did Evelyn suspect the truth? That their marr
