All Chapters of The Billionaire's Accidental Bride : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Elena POV Even though my last conversation with Grace had been awkward, she never missed a chance to pop into my office for lunch. It has become our little routine, which I surprisingly enjoy so much.Even some staff at the office had started warming up to me, especially the receptionist, Jane. She was a total vibe. Always with her sarcastic comments that always had me laughing. Lunch with those two made work feel a bit less stressful. Funny how the lonely, distant geek somehow ended up with two precious friends.Grace helped me with some issues when she had the time to. She'd swing by to load me with gossip of Alex and sing his praises like he was some kind of saint without flaws. I always put on an expression of amazement whenever she said something cool about him in order not to arouse any suspicions. From all she had been saying, I could tell of her hidden feelings towards Alex, and I wondered if only she knew what a change of character he was.“ Elena,” Grace said as we exite

Elena POV The night was still quiet and I wasn't ready to face Alex. Nick and I left the kitchen onto the terrace just outside, facing the garden. We sat there for a long time in silence staring at the stars until he broke it.“ When someone dies they turn to stars up there” he said looking up. His all attention to the sky. “ Look at that one,”I followed his hands as he pointed at a certain star ‘it's called matariki. I'm sure Madre and Papa are there. Watching over us like they used to.” “ You think so ?” I asked, looking at him now.He averted his eye to meet my before his lips curled up to a reassuring smile “ I know so” “ Nick?” “ Yes” “ Can I ask you something? ” “ Of course” “ Does Alex perhaps have an ex wife?” Nick chuckled softly as if knowing I would ask that question. He leaned back on the rails , crossing his arms as his expression softened.“ No he doesn't, if he did I would know” he said with confidence.I looked down not wanting to say anything again. Even Ni

Elena POV I stormed into the room, went straight to the cupboard, took out my box and started loading in things that were mine. Not that anything here truly belonged to me.I seem to have a reputation of getting things that didn't belong to me but I didn't care. I was going to leave this house tonight.I took my old clothes, that were stuff on one side of the cupboard, packed them all up, and went straight to the bathroom.I grabbed my tooth brush and the other stuff that might be of use to me and went out to the room. “He has always been a controlling narcissist that doesn't give a care in the world if I'm dead. How dare he give me orders. Who does he think he is?” I mumbled to myself as I continued stuffing things into my bag.Just as I was about closing my box the door opened and Alex walked in.“ What do you think you're doing?” he asked, moving forward to stop me. “ What does it look like I'm doing?” I jerked his hands off, wanting to walk to the door when he blocked me.“ You

Elena POV It had been two weeks of being a captive of Alexander Donovan. Everything has been calm, or rather, unproductive.I tried speaking to Nick for him to help me escape but he wasn't willing to. I begged, cried but nothing was convincing him.“ Listen Nick, please you have to help me please” I begged, clinging to his left hand “ please” Tears streamed down my face as I believed I had found hope, but he just kept his head low.“ Elena, you don't understand, Alex is-” “ What is there to understand” I shouted, frustrated and angry “ I am your sister, Nick. You barely know Alex better than you know me. We have been together since we were young why won't you just help me.” He sighed looking at me now “ He's protecting you this way, you just have to calm down” “ Calm down? You want me to calm down when I was tricked and decieved and now captured against my own will and you're expecting me to calm down”He opened his mouth as if to say something but decided against it and just mo

Elena's POV Wait, what?A vacation? No,no, no, no, no!Nothing is going according to my plan anymore. Nana was supposed to tell me I'm free to do whatever I want, not book us a spot at some resort.When she came to that conclusion I felt my stomach knot into a twist. I looked at Alex expectant this time.But he didn't say anything or object to it. Why? Was this his plan all along? Did they plan this in order to sabotage my plan?I paced around the room clearly agitated and nervous about the vacation. Alex on the other hand was just sitting down there staring at his phone.I paused and looked at him. He wasn't even bothered or showing any sign of objections. “ Alex” I called sharply, walking towards him.He didn't even bother looking up.“ You knew about this all along, didn't you?” I asked. “ You knew that Nana would send us to some vacation after all this right?” I interrogated, but he didn't bulge so I snatched his phone away from him.“ You'll look at me and answer-”“ And why sh
