Accidentally Married to a Billionaire Chapter Fifty-Three - The Truth About Julian
Sienna's POV I ended the call slowly, my fingers trembling slightly as I lowered the phone from my ear. For a few seconds, I just stood there, staring at nothing, trying to steady the rush of thoughts colliding inside my head.Jason is dead.Julian's words from just minutes ago echoed in my head, “The bastard is exactly where he belongs now.”A cold chill crept up my spine.I walked slowly back to the table and sat down across from him quietly.He tilted his head slightly. “Is everything okay?”I swallowed.“Jason is dead,” I said.The words sounded unreal coming out of my mouth.I watched his face carefully for any reaction but there was nothing.“I see,” he said calmly.“He was stabbed,” I continued, my voice unsteady. “By another inmate.”Julian leaned back slightly in his chair.“Prison isn’t a gentle place,” he said.My stomach twisted.“You don’t seem surprised,” I said quietly.He gave a small shrug. “Men like him make enemies.”“That’s not what I meant. You said that you made
Accidentally Married to a Billionaire Chapter Fifty-Two - He Knows Everything
Sienna's POV The lounge was dimly lit, amber lights casted a warm glow over polished wood tables and low velvet chairs. Soft jazz hummed in the background. And the scent of expensive cologne and aged whiskey lingered in the air.I sat at a table near the window. My hands have been clasped together for the past ten minutes and every time the door opens, my eyes move in that direction.Ever since I ran into Julian at that event two nights ago, I haven’t slept properly. And finding out that he's Eric's cousin made it worse.The day Eric made me breakfast, later that night, I slowly slipped out of bed and reached for his phone on the nightstand. My heart was pounding so loudly I was sure it would wake him. Sneaking around him like that felt so wrong but so did living with unanswered questions.I unlocked his phone, my fingers trembled slightly as I searched for Julian's phone number. I copied it quickly into my phone and saved it, then carefully placed Eric’s phone back on the nightstand
Accidentally Married to a Billionaire Chapter Fifty-One - Something Isn't Right
Eric's POV The car hummed quietly as we merged into traffic. I read Megan's text two more times, and those two words stared at me.My thumb hovered over her name for less than a second before I dialed her number. It rang three times then went straight to voicemail.I dialed again.This time, she answered on the fourth ring.“Eric?” Her voice was soft.“What happened?” I asked immediately. “Megan, what’s going on?”There was a pause on the other end. I could hear faint background noise, muffled movement.“It’s nothing serious,” she said quickly. “I just…had a little accident. I’m fine.”“What kind of accident?”“It’s not a big deal,” she said. “I just slipped but I’m okay now.”“Where are you?” I asked.There was another long pause.“Megan.”“I’m at the Grand Meridian,” she said finally.“What are you doing there?”“Eric, it’s really not…”“I’m coming,” I cut in.“That’s not necessary…”“I’m coming,” I repeated firmly.Another pause before she spoke quietly. “Okay.”I ended the call.
Accidentally Married to a Billionaire Chapter Fifty - Unknown Traitor
Eric POVGabriel Sinclair stood near the large window in his office, overlooking the city skyline. His posture was straight, hands clasped behind his back. He didn’t turn immediately when I walked in.“Eric Macmillan,” he said coolly.“Mr. Sinclair,” I replied firmly.He finally turned, gesturing toward the seating area. “Let’s not waste each other’s time.”Straight to the point.I respect that.I sat across from him, placing my portfolio on the table.“Thank you for seeing me,” I began calmly. “I know your schedule is not easily rearranged.”He gave a noncommittal hum.“You’ve requested to withdraw from your thirty-year partnership with Macmillan Holdings,” I continued. “A partnership that has survived recessions, market crashes, regulatory shifts, and geopolitical instability.”His gaze was steady. “Circumstances evolve.”“They do,” I agreed. “Which is exactly why I’m here.”I leaned forward slightly.“Gabriel, I’m not here as a son-in-law who didn’t materialize. I’m here as a membe
Accidentally Married to a Billionaire Chapter Forty-Nine - The Man I Thought I Knew
Sienna's POV *****I exhaled slowly and rolled onto my back, pressing the heel of my palm to my forehead like I could potentially stop the ache forming there.I took a deep breath and sat up, shaking my head to stop memories of Julian from invading my mind. I swung my legs over the side of the bed, feeling the cold marble floor beneath my feet. I was just about to stand when the bedroom door opened.Eric walked in carrying a tray. He was wearing grey lounge pants and a simple white T-shirt, his hair was slightly damp like he just showered. He balanced the tray carefully in both hands, a proud smile on his face.“Good morning, beautiful,” he said warmly.“Morning,” I replied softly.He walked to the bed and placed the tray on the nightstand beside me carefully.“I come bearing peace offerings,” he declared.I looked down at the tray.There were scrambled eggs, toast cut diagonally, sliced strawberries arranged neatly in a small bowl, and coffee.“You…made this?” I asked, unable to hid
Accidentally Married to a Billionaire Chapter Forty-Eight - Memories (Part 2)
Sienna's POV Weeks passed, and our evening walks transcended to him visiting me on campus. The first time he did, I was pleasantly surprised.I was sitting under a tree between lectures, picking at a sad excuse for a sandwich, when a shadow fell across me.“Surely you can do better than that.”I looked up.There he was in a navy coat, his hair slightly windswept and a faint amused smile on his lips.“You’re stalking me now?” I whispered, trying not to grin.He handed me a paper bag.“Lunch.”Inside were pastries from the bakery two blocks from my apartment. The expensive one I only ever walked past.“You didn’t have to,” I said.“I know.” He replied, sitting next to me.We ate together that day, laughing and talking. And the world felt like it was just the two of us in it, everyone and everything else blurred.One week later, Julian walked me home from the coffee shop as usual. It was early autumn, the leaves lining the sidewalk were beginning to turn gold and burnt orange, crunching
