All Chapters of Accidentally Married to the Billionaire: Chapter 11 - Chapter 20

The opulent study felt like it was closing in on me. The mahogany walls seemed to sweat under the weight of untold secrets, and the thick Persian rug felt like shifting sand beneath my feet.Across the massive oak desk sat Alexander Reynolds, the billionaire who was somehow, inexplicably, my husband. His usual swagger was gone, replaced by a tense energy that crackled in the air."Alright, Reynolds," I said, my voice surprisingly steady despite the churning in my stomach. "Talk."He leaned back in his chair, steepling his fingers. "There's a lot to unpack, Ava."Ava. He hadn't called me Mrs. Reynolds or anything else formal. It was a small detail, but it sent a strange shiver down my spine."Start with Project Nightingale," I demanded. "What is it? Why is a data leak such a big deal?"He sighed, a sound that seemed to age him years. "Project Nightingale is…national security, Ava. Highly classified technology with the potential to change the course of warfare."My breath hitched. Natio

The cavernous hallway echoed with a tense silence, broken only by the ragged gasps of the unconscious Louise and the masked figure's shallow breaths. My heart hammered against my ribs, a frantic drum solo against the backdrop of fear."Wife?" I stammered, my voice barely a whisper. "What are you talking about?"The masked figure didn't reply, their gaze fixed on Alexander. "The information," they repeated, their voice laced with a dangerous edge. "Hand it over, Mr. Reynolds, and maybe your loyal housekeeper gets to live another day."Alexander's jaw clenched tight. "There is no information," he growled, his voice strained."Don't lie to me," the figure snarled. "We know you accessed those files. We know about Project Nightingale. And we know your little…wife here seems awfully invested in keeping it all a secret."My mind reeled. Project Nightingale? Was that the classified information they were talking about? And how did they know I accessed those files? A terrifying thought slithere

The image on the screen burned into my retinas, a horrifying truth unfolding before my eyes. My twin sister, Sarah, unconscious and injured, at the scene of an attack on the billionaire I was inexplicably married to.Confusion and fear battled within me. Sarah? Here? Involved in this mess? But how? And why?The world around me seemed to shrink, the air thick with unspoken questions. Alexander's face was a mask of barely contained fury, his jaw clenched tight. John watched me, his expression a mix of concern and unease."What…what does this mean?" I stammered, my voice barely a whisper.Alexander remained silent for a moment, his eyes locked on the image of my unconscious sister. Finally, he turned to me, his voice strained. "I don't know, Ava. But we're about to find out.""But how is this even possible?" I cried, frustration bubbling over. "I haven't spoken to Sarah in years! We don't even get along!"He sighed, his gaze softening slightly. "There's a lot you don't know about your pa

The room spun, the news of Sarah's disappearance hitting me like a physical blow. My heart hammered against my ribs, each beat a frantic drum echoing the fear twisting in my gut."Gone?" I whispered, the word catching in my throat. "How could she be gone?"Alexander's face was a mask of fury, his jaw clenched tight. He barked a series of orders at John, his voice taut with urgency. Commands to activate emergency protocols, to lock down the entire estate, to scour every inch of the property.The room crackled with a sense of urgency, a storm brewing within the gilded cage. Fear clawed at me, a chilling realization settling in. Sarah wasn't just gone; she'd been taken."Who would do this?" I asked, my voice barely above a whisper.John, his face etched with worry, shook his head. "We don't know yet, Ava. But whoever it is, they knew what they were doing."The implications of his words hung heavy in the air. This wasn't a random act. Someone had orchestrated Sarah's escape, someone who k

The word hung heavy in the air, a dark revelation echoing in the opulent silence of the department store. "A weapon," I repeated, my voice barely above a whisper. "What does that even mean?"Alexander's face was a mask of grim determination. "It means Sarah wasn't just your twin," he explained, his voice tight. "She was your partner. Both of you were trained from a young age, trained for something… specific."My head spun, the luxurious surroundings blurring into a dizzying kaleidoscope. Partner? Trained? The life I thought I knew, the life of a carefree artist, crumbled into dust. Who was I, really?"But why?" I stammered, a desperate plea escaping my lips. "Why would anyone…"He cut me off, his hand reaching out to grip mine. His touch, surprisingly gentle, offered little comfort in the face of this terrifying revelation."I don't have all the answers yet, Ava," he admitted. "But I'm determined to find them. This file… it's a start. Maybe it holds the key to unlocking your past."My
