All Chapters of The Billionaire's Accidental Bride : Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

Elena POV “What are you doing out here?” I titled my head back to see Alex, standing with a cardigan and pants. Apparently he must have changed from his formal attire to this when I was deep in thought. “ Nothing that concerns you. Or is it a crime now to come to the balcony?” I asked , folding my hands in front of my chest. “ You didn't have to be rude, I was just asking a harmless question” he responded, and I immediately felt bad for what I said. I was just tired, exhausted, angry and sorry for myself at the same time. Everything just seems too much for me and it makes me question my intelligence and decisions. From that very day Pete had betrayed me, everything had gone wrong in my life. Absolutely everything, and the worst part is that I'm stuck with this him, Alex Donovan, who is very obsessed with keeping me safe. The funniest and worst part of all is that I don't even know why he's keeping me safe or what he's keeping me safe from. He won't tell me even if I asked

Elena POV I took a deep breath calming myself down before sitting down Two cups of coffee and eggs with bacon were served in front of us on a white and emerald plate. “ Did something happen here earlier?” He asked, still clearly curious as to why he found me outside. I didn't want him to know about my life or my failed relationship with Pete or it would make me look more vulnerable, and vulnerability was the last feeling I wanted him to see. I stared down at my plate of bacon , picking up my fork, digging in, completely ignoring his question. I could feel his eyes gorging at my face, searching for any answer but I wasn't ready to give him one. He was the least of my worries now, Pete was on the loose and I was this close to finding him if he didn't interrupt me. I was very sure it was him earlier because I would never forget those back hairlines or his shoulder. Literally everything about him I remember and would never forget so I was very sure it was him. But what was

~Elena~ “ You really have to learn how to watch where you're goin miss” I sighed composing myself. “ I'm okay, thank you” , turning to see an unknown but very handsome young man, standing behind me. His black jet hair shining with the aid of the street lamp light and his physique, oh my god, I could tell from the blue flowered shirt that was slightly ajar and he was putting on, that he had a very nice body. At first I was so lost in those beautiful dark eyes that I didn't realise I had been staring at him for a while. I had completely forgotten my frustration. “ Do I have something on my face?” He asked, in a low hoarse tone that made my stomach tingle, bringing me back to reality. “ Uhm.. so sorry I…I ummm…thank you. I'm really sorry” I apologised again, stumbling over my words as I tried to regain my composure. His lips curled up into a faint smirk, and I could tell he was amused by my flustered state. “Don’t worry about it,” he said smoothly, stepping back slightly to gi

~Alex~ Was it worth it ? Even though Nana had threatened me earlier that if I ruined this, she was going to pluck out my livers. She always threatens me, always with death but this one seemed quite serious, just like when she threatened to take away my inheritance.Nana was the type of person not to like many people or even any human. Something we have in common.The only time I had seen her this lively and enthusiastic about anything was when my father was still alive.When everything was still nice and okay in the family. When I was just a little naive boy that had both his parents' love.Funny how just one night everything went down the drain, left and abandoned at such a young age to cater for myself.She’d already rejected countless women I brought home. None of them were ever enough. Even Catherine, who I knew Nana detested, wasn’t spared her judgment.Nana had been the one to push for this marriage. And now, I could feel the disappointment hanging over me like a curse.I swi

Elena POV “ Lucas!? How did you get my phone number” I asked, a little bit surprised.“ I have my ways” I stared at the screen, the soft glow illuminating my furrowed brows. The fuck. This wasn’t normal. I never gave him my number. He didn’t even ask for it. How the hell did he—“This is starting to get creepy,” I muttered under my breath.“Creepy?” His voice hummed with amusement, as if he found the idea of unsettling me entertaining. “Come on, Elena. Don’t be so dramatic.”I exhaled slowly, shifting on the edge of my bed “ okay, what do you want?” I asked, trying to keep the irritation from creeping into my voice.“I wanted to talk to you” he said plainly, making doubts to invade my thoughts.If I'm not mistaken this was an act of stalking someone because why would he call me at this hour of the day to just talk, even though he got my contact details without my consent. But why? There's definitely something up with him. “ You just wanted to talk?” I asked curiously “ Lucas, I-”
