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 FIFTY-TWO: ARE YOU ALRIGHT?Ava:My head snapped toward the sound, and I saw her standing near a food cart, tears streaming down her face, her little shoulders shaking.“Belle!” I ran, pushing through people without caring who I bumped into.She saw me and her face crumpled completely. “Mommy!”I dropped to my knees and pulled her into my arms so hard I probably squeezed the air out of her lungs. But I didn't care. I couldn't let go.“I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry,” She sobbed into my shoulder. “I saw the balloon and I wanted to catch it and then I couldn't find you and—”“Shh, baby, it's okay. It's okay.” My own tears were falling. “You're okay. I've got you.”“I was scared when I looked around but couldn't find you two anymore,” she whimpered.“I know. I know you were. But you're safe now.” I pulled back just enough to check her over, there were no scratches, no bruises, just tear-stained cheeks and trembling hands. “You're safe.”Cecily appeared beside us, looking pale. “Oh thank God.” She crouched down too

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY-ONE: WHERE IS BELLE?Ava:“Belle, where are you? It’s time to leave!”“I’m coming, Mommy!” She shouted back from her room. “Let me just grab my shoe! It rolled under my bed, and I couldn't reach it! Just give me a moment. I'm almost there, almost! Nooo.”“Are you alright?” I asked, grabbing my things and stepping out of my room.“Oh, Mummy. My fingers pushed the shoe away instead of reaching for it.”I sighed, smoothing down my blouse as I walked down the hallway. She’d been buzzing with excitement since Monday and counting down every day because I told her we’d spend the weekend at the amusement park.She circled every ride she wanted and even practiced standing tall so she’d be “over the little height line.”I wanted this for her. A full weekend where nothing existed except rides and ice cream. I just wanted a day with no anxiety tightening in my chest whenever the phone rang.Just us.It’s been two days since Dante and I had the conversation. And ever since then, he usually came to pick Liam up while h

Chapter: CHAPTER FIFTY: GIVE HIM A CHANCE Chapter 50: Give Him A ChanceAva:“Am I normal for trying to find reasoning behind his actions? And the more I think about it, I can't help but feel like staying closer to him would be safer.” Cecily said softly, stretching on the couch she was sitting on.I hadn’t been expecting anything close to these words from her; besides, last I recall, she despised Dante more than I could have ever imagined I did.But after explaining things to her, she turned silent and looked terribly perplexed.Cecily was the same person who once told me she would sooner eat glass than tolerate the man. Hearing her say something like that felt almost surreal.I shifted on the armchair, drawing my knees up slightly as I studied her face. She wasn’t even joking. Her brows were pulled together, her fingers unconsciously playing with the loose thread on the couch cushion.“I know it sounds stupid,” she added before I could say anything. “Believe me, I know. I’m the last person who should be saying this, but… I

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTY-NINE: WHOSE FAULT IS IT?Dante:I stopped in front of the door to my mother's room, and without so much as a thought, I knocked on it.“Yes, come in.” She said from inside, and I grabbed the handle before turning the knob and stepping inside.She was sitting by the mirror on her dresser when I stepped inside, already dressed in her pajamas and getting ready to head to bed.“Oh, wow, Dante, it’s you.” Her eyes widened a little, and before she had the chance to say she wasn't expecting me, I cut straight to the point.“Why were you at Ava's school today?”Her hand paused mid-air, the brush she'd been running through her hair frozen. For a second, I saw something flicker across her face.But then it was gone, replaced by that perfectly composed mask she'd worn my entire life.“I don't know what you're talking about.” She set the brush down carefully, turning in her seat to face me. “I haven't been to any school. As a matter of fact, I've been at home all day. You can ask the housekeeper.”“Don't lie to me.” My v

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTY-EIGHT: KEEPING SECRETS Dante:The moment I stepped into the car, Marcus glanced up at me through the rearview mirror.“Did she agree?” He didn't even need to ask; the answer was obvious from my expression alone.I don't remember being this unsettled in my entire life.“What’s the time?” I asked, and he checked before looking up again.“It's a few minutes after nine.”“Take me to the Rossi mansion.”His brows pulled into a frown, “Isn’t it late already? You want to speak with your mother?” He asked.I needed to speak to her.After Marcus had confirmed my suspicion that she was behind the note, which Ava never found, I had been planning on speaking with her. That was even before I arrived at Ava’s place and she told me my mother came to her school and threatened to take Belle.I was infuriated that she did it behind my back when she knew I wouldn't be able to make it back to the city in time since I had a business meeting outside.Also, I needed to speak with Nat because she hadn’t been answering any of her c

Chapter: CHAPTER FOURTY-SEVEN: LIVE WITH MY DECISION Ava:He was hurt; I knew it, could feel it, and could even see it in his eyes. But like he said, this involved Belle. The only way I could possibly keep Belle safe was by staying as far away from him as possible, not by going to live under his roof and giving whoever was behind this more reason to want us gone.His throat bobbed, and he nodded slowly, “Alright.”That was all; I could see the moment his shoulders dropped in resignation.But even that wasn't enough to change my mind. I had made my decision, and I intended to stick with it.I'm not going to live with him, and that's final.I'll make sure to protect my daughter even if it's the last thing I do.Dante gave me a slow nod, and his eyes met mine; my heart picked up pace because of how soft and broken he looked.“Nothing I say would make you change your mind?” He asked.I shook my head slowly, and he pressed his lips into a thin line.I turned away quickly because every second I looked at him, my resolve cracked a little more
