GABRIELLE’S POV

The sun slipped through the curtains when I woke up. My body ached from all the tension of yesterday.

After we got back from the cemetery, I spent the rest of the day crying in my room. It was a constant habit, especially with all my free time.

I pushed the sheets away and sat up, trying to shake off the thoughts of Damon’s stone-cold expression at the grave.

After showering, I went downstairs for coffee. The house was quiet except for faint music echoing from the back.

I followed the sound through the hallway until I reached a glass door that led to what looked like a gym.

Damon was there.

Sweat rolled down his bare chest as he lifted a set of weights like they were nothing. His muscles flexed under the light and his face was calm and focused.

I froze by the door, torn between walking away and pretending I didn’t notice how solid his abs were and hot his biceps looked.

He saw me through the reflection and set the dumbbells d

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER TWELVE

    GABRIELLE’S POV Turns out he only wanted to take me shopping. Susan must have told him how I reacted to his sister’s dresses and he thought to make it right. The mall was busy, fluorescent lights harsh against my skin. We entered a high-end boutique and he sat at the reception while I shopped. I entered the designer section, and gasped in awe. I hadn’t shopped in weeks since the wedding and I didn’t realize how much I needed this. Clothes hung neatly on racks, and a young saleswoman looked me over with a flicker of judgment. “Can I help you find something, ma’am?” she asked, barely hiding her disdain. “I’m fine,” I said, smiling politely. I continued moving along the aisle, picking pieces but the saleswoman kept following me. I paused and turned to her. “Excuse me. Are you following me?” She eyed me from head to toe. “This isn’t the section you’re used to. I’m just making sure the excitement from these luxurious clothes don’t get to you.”

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER TEN

    GABRIELLE’S POV We drove out of town and into a quiet area. I tried to start a conversation but he barely responded. After a few more tries, I gave up. Forty five minutes later, he stopped the car in front of a small cemetery. My chest sank. “Why are we here?” I asked quietly. He opened the door. “You wanted to know who the clothes belonged to.” I got out slowly. The wind was still and the air, heavy. Damon walked ahead, and I followed behind him until he stopped before a grave. The name on the marble stone made my throat tighten. ALESSIA GRAVARI. The date showed she had been gone for three years. I turned to him. “She was your wife?” His eyes didn’t leave the grave. “My sister.” I blinked. “Your sister?” “Do you have a problem with your hearing?” he asked, facing me now. The audacity of this idiot! But we were at his sister’s grave so I tried to stay respectful. “I’m sorry for your loss. What happened to her.” He turned back to the grave. “Sh

    GABRIELLE’S POV My body grew taut. “I was just looking around,” I said and cleared my throat. “You didn’t exactly offer to give me a tour of the villa.” He took a step into the room, his expression cold. “You shouldn’t be in here.” His voice was even colder it sent a chill down my spine. “I didn’t know it was off limits.” His jaw tightened. “It is.” I looked around once more, refusing to back down. “Who does this room belong to?” He didn’t answer. His eyes moved to the picture frame still in my hand. I set it down carefully on the nightstand without looking at it. “Your silence says enough.” “Gabrielle,” he said quietly. “Go get some sleep.” I met his eyes. “You keep a room like this locked away and expect me not to ask questions?” He exhaled slowly. “Go back to bed.” “I just—” “Now.” The edge in his voice made my stomach twist. I brushed past him slowly, the air thick with tension, and stepped into the hallway. Just before I walked away, I heard h

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER EIGHT

    GABRIELLE’S POV I put my fork down and spat out my food before I choked on it. “What?” I coughed, grabbing the napkin. “You can’t be serious.” Damon kept eating like he hadn’t just dropped a bomb on me. “You didn’t think being my wife came without responsibilities, did you?” he said casually, slicing through his steak. “I didn’t think being your wife meant… whatever you’re implying.” He finally looked up with that intense gaze of his. “Relax, Gabrielle. I’m not talking about what’s running through that dramatic head of yours.” I glared at him. “Then what exactly are you talking about?” “Public appearances, dinners and functions. People will expect to see my wife by my side, and I can’t have them thinking you can’t stand me.” I leaned back in my chair, still tense. “So I’m supposed to play along? Pretend this farce is real?” He smirked faintly. “It is real. You signed the papers, remember?” I clenched my jaw. “A contract marriage isn’t real.” He took a slow s

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE SINGLE DAD   CHAPTER SEVEN

    GABRIELLE’S POV I walked out of the hall long after everyone left. I was planning to get a hotel room, eat junk food, and cry myself to sleep. I had my first taste of revenge but at what cost? Father was disappointed in me and he cut me off. Emily promised to make my life a living hell and I knew she meant it. I sighed heavily as I tried to stop a cab. A limo stopped in front of me and the window rolled down, exposing Damon Gravari's cold face. My brows formed a frown. “What are you doing here?“ “I was waiting for you to round up so we could leave,” he said. I scoffed. “I don’t want anything to do with you, Damon. Unless it’s about getting a divorce, don’t speak to me again.” He leaned back in his seat, his expression unreadable. “Get in the car, Gabrielle.” I folded my arms. “No. I’m not going anywhere with you.” His jaw ticked. “You think standing on the street alone at this time is a better idea?” “I can take care of myself,”
