A Billionaire's Accidental Love: Bride Who Stole His Heart

As soon as Emma left her father's study and was going down the stairs, she bumped into Maya and was met with a scowl from her switched sister who was standing in the hallway.Maya's arms were crossed, her eyes narrowed in annoyance."Watch where you're going!" Maya snapped as Emma stumbled backward, her eyes wide with apology."You've been crossing my path ever since you came to this house. I wished I never got to see you again after that day but unfortunately, here you are as the daughter of Mr Lucas. I prayed for them to find evidence that you were some sort of illegitimate child but tsk tsk, you are their child. You should know this still, I am still and will remain their first child."Emma did not say a word, her eyes fixed on the floor. She knew better than to engage with Maya when she was in a mood. Besides, Maya was always in the mood to pick fights and annoy her and she wasn't one to respond to such."Are you deliberately not talking to make me look like a fool? Gosh!" exclaim

Today was the D-day. They never met again after the meeting at the restaurant until today.Emma kept a straight face as she sat before the mirror in the dressing room. She was all dolled up already and it was just her and Evelyn in the room."You shouldn't have agreed if you wouldn't be smiling at all. Where's that smile I have always been used to? I can't see any of that today." Evelyn her best friend commented as she fussed with pinning the veil rightly."Do I have to keep smiling all the time? I am not angry or against the marriage. I am just tired from all the stress of running around for this day. Besides, can't you see what is all over my face? How can I smile with this?""But then you shouldn't let it show on your face for the next couple of hours. Or is he...""What is it?" Emma asked, looking at her friend's reflection in the mirror suspiciously."Maybe he isn't as cute as Liam. Remember Liam, right? Don't tell me you forgot him after leaving us for some years?"She managed a

Adriel's eyes widened in surprise, his face inches from Emma's. "What do you mean?" he asked, his voice low and husky.Emma's smile grew wider. "I mean, your legs are fine. You are not crippled, are you?""What!" Adriel's eyes widened in shock. It seemed as if his eyeballs would fall out of the socket if he did not hold them in."What did you just say? How did you know I am not... Who are you?""I said your legs are fine and you are only pretending to be crippled. Don't get me wrong, I am not going to do anything funny with your secret. I have promised to keep between you and I.""Really? Are you trying to argue with the one who is actually crippled that he is not?" he recovered himself and shoved what she had just said off.How would she possibly know? It was just him and his personal assistant that knew that his legs were fine but he chose to remain on a wheelchair to feign weakness to his enemy who was hidden."She is just trying to sound me out and see if I would fall for her tric

Days turned into weeks, and weeks into months. Adriel found himself getting more and more drawn to Emma's captivating presence. Her intelligence, wit, and determination left him in awe. Every day, she surprised him with her endless brilliance, and he could not help but be fascinated.She was not the type of girl he had always dreamed to have as his wife or someone he loved. He wanted an outgoing, crazy and sexy woman just like himself. He got the exact opposite but it was too perfect.She was good at cooking, had a very good relationship with the servants, kind...Name them all. Emma had everything."How long will you keep staring at me that way?" Emma's voice threw him out of his chain of thoughts."How can you just be so perfect? I mean, I can't help but stare at this beauty before me. You may not have the perfect shapes but you've got the face darling.""Oh, please, don't start with your sweet talks this morning. You have to eat the food I prepared before it gets cold.""Sure, sure

Emma got back from the family dinner but Adriel was not back home. She could not eat much at the family dinner because of how tense it was so she had a light dinner at home and waited up for Adriel.Adriel trudged through the front door in his wheelchair, his exhaustion evident in his slumped shoulders and weary eyes. Emma rushed to his side, concern etched on her face."Hey, how was your day?" she asked, helping him out of his coat.Adriel sighed, collapsing onto the couch. "Long, stressful and frustrating."Emma sat beside him, her hand on her knee. "Want to talk about it?"Adriel rubbed his temples, his eyes closed as he balanced himself on the couch, "Can I get a bottle of water first?"She nodded and stood up to get a bottle of water for him.Handing it over to him, she sat across him.He raised a brow when he saw her do that, "Come sit here." Smiling, he motioned her to come sit near him. She agreed but stayed a distance off him.He kept his eyes closed for a while, breathing i
