GABRIELLE’S POV

By Christmas morning, the heat from the night before felt like a foreign memory, replaced by a tight and hollow ache in my chest that refused to loosen no matter how many times I breathed.

John’s death — even though the man was a rude fuck — only reminded me how fickle life was and how much I hadn’t been living

The police, along with John’s family lawyer, arrived early in the morning.

Martha dabbed at her eyes with a tissue that looked suspiciously dry for someone who claimed she’d been devastated all night.

I stood beside Damon as the cops questioned her.

“I just—” her voice cracked on cue, and one of the officers leaned forward slightly. “John had a weak heart. I always told him not to get too excited but he never listened.”

One of the officers glanced around the room. “Does he have any heart-related issues?”

She sniffed, pressing the tissue harder now, as if willing tears to appear. “Yes. He would faint occasionally. I thought last night was the

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER NINETY THREE

    GABRIELLE’S POV I checked my phone, and the time was 12:30 a.m. I was sitting in a twenty-four-hour open restaurant and waiting for Selene. I didn’t need anyone to tell me that it was her underwear in my husband’s jacket. And that could only mean one thing. Damon lied to me. I exhaled deeply and unclenched my fists before waving at a waiter. “I want a bottle of wine, please. Your best. And two glasses.” The waiter nodded and walked away. Just then, Selene walked into the restaurant looking as elegant as ever with not a single hair out of place. She took the seat across from mine gracefully. “Hi, Gabby. I normally don’t like going out late but I had to make an exception for you. I was surprised when I got your call.” I stared through her smile. “I was surprised as well when I had to call you.” She folded her hands on the table. “Is everything okay?” “No,” I said. “It hasn’t been for a while.” The waiter returned with the wine and poured it in both glasses

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER NINETY TWO

    DAMON’S POV I stepped into the club and the smell of smoke, alcohol, and something far worse hit me immediately. Neon lights bounced off the polished floors, glinting off expensive watches and champagne glasses. Some of the strippers were dressed, some weren’t. A fight broke out near the bar—a man threw a punch, and another retaliated with a bottle. Then laughter and screams collided into one as they cheered on the fight. I walked past them to the private area where the real danger was. Rocco Bellini. The guards opened the door and I stepped into a room reserved for men who never waited in lines and never answered to anyone. Some of the most powerful Italian mafia dons. At the center sat Rocco Bellini. He leaned back in his chair, his suit jacket open, a gold chain visible against his chest. His expression was amused, like he’d been expecting me long before I arrived. He was even fatter than I remembered. “Damon Gravari,” he said, spreading his arms. “You to

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER NINETY ONE

    GABRIELLE’ S POV I let out an embarrassing moan. Damon placed his other hand on the wall beside me. “See how your body never lies?” Then he leaned even closer, his breath warm in my upper lip. “You’re staying with me because you’re my wife and because I chose you, Gabrielle.” I lost my voice for a few seconds, unable to tear my gaze away from his. He pulled back slightly and even though it was weak, I finally found my voice. “You chose a contract.” “I chose you,” he repeated, slower this time. “The contract was the condition, not the reason I married you.” My throat burned. “Then why does it feel like I can be replaced?” “You can’t,” he said flatly. “Selene—” “Is not you,” he cut in. “And she never will be.” I searched his face for something warmer and something reassuring, but all I found was restraint. Somehow, that scared and excited me more. “You don’t reassure,” I said quietly. “You don’t fight for things with words enough.” “I don’t have to,” he re

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER NINETY

    GABRIELLE’S POV I was just done packing my bags when I heard a knock on my door. I froze. What if it was Damon? No, I couldn’t let him see me like this. I got up from the bed and stood in front of the mirror, wiping my tears with the hem of my shirt. But my mascara was smudged and it wouldn’t come off unless I washed my face. “Gabrielle?” Fiorella’s voice floated into the room. “Are you decent? I’m coming in.” Shit. There was no way I could reach the bathroom before she walked in so I just gave up. The door pushed open, and she walked in, her hair still wet from the shower. She froze when she saw my face. “Are you okay? What’s wrong?” My shoulders dropped. “I wish I knew.” Her eyes took in my appearance and turned to the bags beside my bed. “Gabby, are you leaving?” I nodded, blinking back the fresh tears that threatened to spill. “I am.” She entered the room and shut the door behind her. “Did you fight with Damon?” I shook my head, not wanting to s

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER EIGHTY NINE

    DAMON’S POV I parked the car in front of my father’s mansion. Even though the place was long deserted and held traumatic memories for me, I still made sure I had the cleaning staff on payroll. So when Selene led me there, alarm bells had already gone off in my head. She never did anything without a reason, and she would have never led me here unless she was certain of the outcome. I stepped out of the car and shut the door, my gaze sweeping the compound out of habit. Everything still looked the same except for the fact that it was quiet now. It used to feel like home to me but all I could feel when I stared at it was… nothing. “Oh, stop looking so grim,” she said, a proud smile on her face. “You’re going to be grateful when I show you what I did.” I let her lead the way, my gaze unwavering on her as she took me to the back of the main house, near the route to the staff quarters. Memories I had tried to forget kept resurfacing with each step I took. Somehow, the

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER EIGHTY EIGHT

    GABRIELLE’S POV “That fucking bastard!” I shut the door behind me with more force than necessary, annoyed at Damon but even more annoyed at myself for not expecting him to turn back into the impenetrable wall that he was. One minute we were having fun and spending time together. Next, he ordered me to go inside, as if I were his staff and not his wife. I walked into the kitchen and dropped the ice cream on the counter, my appetite completely gone. Screw Damon! Screw him to hell and back. “Poor ice cream,” I heard a familiar voice behind me. I turned to the doorway. “I’m not in the mood, Beatrice.” She smiled and stepped into the kitchen. “I guess I was wrong then. It’s not poor ice cream, it’s poor you.” “Excuse me?” Beatrice sat on one of the kitchen chairs and leaned over the counter. “You’re upset aren’t you? You and my grandnephew must have fought. And now, he’s spending time with the woman he should have married instead. They drove off to somewhere… pri
