The Billionaire's Accidental Wife

The Billionaire's Accidental Wife

Synopsis Ava: My sister Ivy was supposed to marry Dante Rossi. Heir to a billion-dollar empire. Cold, heartless, cruel, and terrifyingly perfect. He was perfect, she was perfect. Together, they were everything. But then the accident happened. Ivy died. I survived. And somehow, I became the one expected to take her place. Forced into a marriage with a man who won’t even look at me without resentment in his eyes, a man who promised to make my life hell for living. Abandoned by my family, and blamed for an accident I can’t even remember.  I was alone from the very beginning. Dante disappeared the morning after our wedding. After a night that made me believe that he saw me. Weeks later, I found out I was pregnant. And he was gone. ----- Dante: I never meant to come back for her. But I never stopped wanting her either. Right from the beginning, I learned to chase what I didn't want to protect what I wanted, because wanting something made it a target. ***** Three years later, Dante returns to the city with an aim, but the first thing he sees is a child that looks just like him. Can a marriage built on loss and blame ever become something more? Most importantly, Was Ava ever just a substitute… or a choice? There’s only one way to find out.

Chapter: CHAPTER 112: FAVORITE CHILD
Dante:I stood there for a while, my fingers brushing over my lips where hers had been moments ago.The feel of her lingered, and I could still feel the softness against mine. Everything had happened so fast, but not a single detail could I forget.Nothing could describe how happy I was that it was all pretense and that she hadn't actually forgotten me.Most importantly, I was glad that when she looked at me earlier with fear in her eyes and told me to leave, it had been an act.She remembered everything.I let out a breath I didn't know I'd been holding and leaned against the railing, looking out over the street and the cars driving past an intersection. The cold air bit at my skin, but I barely felt it.My wife loved me. The urge to yell it out overwhelmed me, but instead a smile curved up my lips; the smile immediately fell off as a thought crossed my mind.She was about to walk into danger to protect our family.The happiness I'd felt seconds ago went dark at that thought. Because

Chapter: CHAPTER 111: TIME IS UP
PRESENTLYDante:Ava stood in the doorway, the rooftop lighting falling over her face. She was wearing a hospital gown with a cardigan draped over her shoulders, and her hair was loose around her face.My heart skipped a beat, “What are you doing up here?" I asked, my voice coming out harsh because it was damned cold here. Hoe did she even step out of her room?I moved toward her instinctively. “You shouldn't be out of bed. Does your mother know you're here? The doctors—”“I'm fine,” she said calmly, and she closed the door behind her.I stopped a few feet away from her, unsure what to do. Every instint in me wanted to close the distance and pull her into my arms, but the memory of her flinching away from me earlier kept me frozen in place.“You need to go back to your room,” I said, trying to keep my voice clear. “You're still recovering. If something happens…” my words trailed.“Dante,” she interrupted, and she took a step toward me.I went still as she took another step. Then anoth

Chapter: CHAPTER 110: PRETENSE
A FEW HOURS EARLIER.Ava:I stared at the ceiling, counting the tiles for what felt like the hundredth time since I'd woken up.The numbers didn't help, and neither did they stop me from seeing Dante's face when I'd pulled my hand away from his.He looked at me like I had stabbed him right in his chest. And it felt like that was exactly what I had done.A sigh escaped my lips, and I brushed my fingers through my hair before glancing down and using my fork to stab the apples Cecily had sliced on a plate for me.“Don't tell me you're thinking about him again,” Cecily said from the chair beside my bed.I turned my head to look at her. She was watching me with a frown and a knowing expression, one that said she could read every thought in my head.I pressed my lips into a thin line. “I actually can't stop,” I admitted softly, brushing my palm over my heart, which was hurting every time I recalled the look on Dante’s face earlier.“You're doing the right thing,” she said, but even she didn

Chapter: CHAPTER 109: ROOFTOP
Dante:I slipped the paper into my pocket as the elevator doors slid shut. I frowned, brushing my fingers through my hair, trying to figure out what Cecily wanted to talk about that required meeting on the rooftop instead of just saying it in the hallway.I pulled out my phone from my pocket and glanced at the list of missed calls before tapping on my sister’s number.The call rang for a couple of seconds before it was answered, “Oh my God, I thought you passed away or something. I've been trying to reach out to you for hours. What the hell were you up to that you weren't with your phone?” Nat rambled on and on, furious that I hadn't answered any of her calls or even called back for the past couple of hours.I ran my fingers over my face. “It’s a long story. Are you busy right now?”“No. Liam's at school, and I'm just at home. By the way, I've been trying to reach out to Ava;p I wonder why she isn't reachable.”Instead of explaining everything through a call, I asked, “Can you come to

Chapter: CHAPTER 108: FOLDED PAPER
Dante:I stared at Dylan, processing what he'd just said and recalling the call I had been on with my mom before Luke and I got to the bridge.“They have been here since yesterday, from what I gathered,” Dylan said, his brows creased together. “Your mother's been here since then. I don't think she knows you are here, though, because when I went in to check on Georgia, she asked if I've been able to get to you. Said she’s been trying to reach out to you, but you haven’t been answering your calls.”I rubbed my face with my hands. As if I didn't have enough to deal with.“So you didn't tell her I'm here?”Dylan shook his head, “No.”A sigh escaped my lips, and my gaze fell on the empty glass on the table beside me. “I don't have time for this,” I let out a rough breath. “I don't care about Georgia right now.”Dylan clicked his tongue, not bothering to complain about what I said. Especially since I had filled him in on what Georgia said the last time I spoke with her.“Your mother seemed

Chapter: CHAPTER 107: LEVERAGE
Dante:I stepped into the hallway and walked back into my room, searching for Dylan.The moment I opened the door, my steps slowed to a stop as I found not just Dylan but also Marcus and Luke in my hospital room, looking like they had been waiting for me.“How long have you guys been here?” I said, stepping into the room and shutting the door behind me.Marcus looked like he'd been through hell. His usually folded clothes were rumpled, and there were dark circles under his eyes. Luke looked better, but not by much. Both of them had the same exhausted, worried expressions. And that left a heavy feeling in my chest.What on earth could make them look this way? Especially Luke, who usually has a blank expression and could control how he looked.“They’ve been here for over an hour. Got here the moment you left.”“Oh. Why didn't you look for me?” I said, stepping in fully and walking over to the dispenser to get a glass of water.“You were… busy with something much more important,” Marcus
