My father stood up from the bed and walked out of the room while Alessandro followed behind. I remained sitting on my bed. I had finished the last drop of wine in my glass and wondered if I should get more.

“Tori!” my father called out my name.

I placed my glass down and walked out of the room as slowly and as carefully as possible, trying to ensure that I did not fall. I felt the room slowly spinning around as I stumbled to the living room.

“What are you doing here?” I asked as soon as my eyes landed on Christopher.

It was as if he heard us talking about him because why did he show up right at that time? Right after I had just poured my whole heart out to my dad about him and right after I had just told my father that I was letting him go. I was allowing him to do as he wanted.

“Can I come in?” he asked.

He was holding a bouquet of flowers and he wore full black. That was the first time he tried to look decent, apart from the wedding.

“I don’t that would be best…” my dad start

  • Accidentally His   77- The 20 Minutes

    I knew I wanted him longer than just those 20 minutes he had planned. I needed more—more of him."20 minutes, only?" I asked, my voice betraying the shock I felt, as I fought to hold back the tear threatening to escape my eye."Yeah, I'm sorry," he replied, his tone apologetic. "My boss is back, and he's been extra strict since he returned."I clenched my fists, trying to hold back the frustration and sadness bubbling inside me. I didn’t want to seem whiny or clingy—especially not when Bash was radiating that infuriating “I don’t care” vibe.The last thing I needed was to seem overly attached, like I was desperate for his attention. He had made it clear that he had boundaries, and I didn’t want to cross them or make things awkward between us. But it was hard—hard not to feel a little disappointed that our time together was being cut short so suddenly.“So, let’s get to it before I have to go. I think 20 minutes should be good,” he said, his tone casual, almost too casual, as he walked

  • Accidentally His   76- The Aisle

    Irritably, I gathered my things, feeling the frustration rising in my chest. I could still hear his voice echoing in my mind, the way he casually mentioned work like it was some unexpected inconvenience. He was the one who suggested we meet up, I thought, gripping my bag tighter. It wasn’t like I had forced him into this. We had made plans—plans he had seemed excited about when we talked earlier. But now, it felt like I was the only one who cared about actually following through.By the time I reached the street,I called for a cab, almost slamming the phone down in my frustration. As the car pulled up, I climbed in without a word.I couldn't stop thinking about how ridiculous it all was. Why bother suggesting we meet up if you didn’t have the time?I headed to the shopping mall and walked into the supermarket, trying to shake off the frustration from earlier. There were a few things I needed, like perfumes and soaps—essentials, really. Since meeting Bash, I found myself wanting to u

  • Accidentally His   75- The Embarrassment

    She returned with the box and immediately noticed Russo staring at me. Her expression shifted, sharp and questioning, as if she were trying to piece something together. I couldn’t help but think she assumed I’d needed the pill because of… Alessandro Russo—a man twice my age.“Oh no, it’s not with him—” I blurted out, rushing to explain.She nodded, but I could tell my explanation hadn’t helped. She’d clearly seen and heard some of the strangest things, yet me insisting it wasn’t with Russo somehow made it worse. I wanted to melt into the countertop—or vanish among the rows of medicine boxes and containers surrounding me.“Anyway, is this the first time you’re taking this pill?” she asked.I nodded slightly, cheeks burning with embarrassment.“Okay, the instructions are in the leaflet inside the box. Make sure you read and understand them, but everything should be fine,” she said, handing me the box.She printed out the receipt, and my heart nearly stopped when I glimpsed the price.“O

  • Accidentally His   74- The Ride

    I could not sit there anymore. The laughter between them, the ease, the way she kept throwing little jabs without actually saying what she meant—it was suffocating. My skin felt too tight, and my stomach twisted with something ugly. I was not angry just at her. I was angry at him. At myself. At this whole damn situation.I shot up from my seat abruptly, and I stormed off toward my bedroom. My footsteps were heavy, deliberate, but no matter how far I got, I could still hear Roni’s laughter ringing through the house. Light, carefree, like she belonged there.I clenched my fists. Why was she acting like that? So comfortable, so at ease, as if she had known them forever.Both Bash and Russo were supposed to be mine—to know, to understand, to be close to. But there she was, slipping into my world like it was effortless, stealing the attention that once belonged to me.I shut my door behind me and pressed my back against it, my heart pounding with frustration. The more I thought about it,

  • Accidentally His   73- The Other Girl

    She wasted no time grabbing my wrist and tugging me out of the kitchen with a sense of urgency.“What’s happening?” my father asked as he saw her drag my ass to the bedroom“Nothing,” Roni answered quickly, brushing off his concern.I overheard my father sigh as he turned to Bash. “Those two… they’ve always been inseparable.”If only my father knew the real reason she was dragging me away, he’d probably take back that comment in an instant.We reached her bedroom and she closed the door tight. “It was him, wasn’t it?” she asked, in a low voice “Uhm…no.” I tried to go on with a lie. “Tori, I know when you are lying and right now, I can see that you are lying. And not only you’re lying, you are doing a terrible job at it.” she sighed I froze in my spot. I did not know how I was going to tell her. I knew she was going to be gutted. “Okay…” I sighed, ready to tell her the story but she shook her head “So, he is the guy you kissed?” she asked. Wait? Kiss?I nodded quickly. If it mea

  • Accidentally His   72- The Flashbacks Again

    What was he doing here? I froze in the kitchen the minute our eyes locked, my heart skipping a beat. “Bash! Hi, how are you?” my father asked, greeting him warmly as they shook hands.“Hello, Mr. Carter,” Bash replied, his smile polite but guarded.My body grew cold, as if someone had splashed ice water down my back. I stood frozen, unsure of how to react or even what to feel in that moment. “Come in, come in,” my father urged, more than happy to let Bash into the house.“Oh no, sir, I’m not here for long,” Bash quickly replied, his tone polite but somewhat hesitant.“Don’t be foolish,” my father smiled, clearly eager to have him stay a bit longer.Clearly against his will, Bash stepped into the house and made his way toward the living room, never once looking in my direction after our eyes had locked at the door. The distance between us seemed to stretch with every step he took.Flashbacks. “Can we get you anything to drink?” My dad offered “Uhm..” “Let me get you juice at leas
