Victoria’s POV

I didn’t need an invitation. I'm Victoria Sterling. That was the first rule of reclaiming space that used to belong to you.

The gala was already in full swing when I stepped out of the car, the light flickered, and laughter spilt down the marble steps.

The charity banner behind the entrance displayed Alex’s name in bold lettering as the Chief Sponsor.

Of course it did.

He did love a stage even though he pretended not to.

I walked in like I had every right to be there, well, beca

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS   CHAPTER 131: Getting Advice

    Arriana’s POVI woke up before the sun fully settled into the room. For a second, I didn’t recognize where I was. The ceiling was higher, the air felt different. Quieter. There was no faint hum of the city bleeding through thin apartment windows.Just silence…thick and expensive silence.Then I felt it, the warmth behind me.It was Alex.His arm was draped over my waist. His breathing was steady against the back of my neck. I stayed still, adjusting to the reality of it. This wasn’t a sleepover. This wasn’t a late night that would dissolve into separate spaces in the morning.This was what being married entails. I shifted slightly and his arm tightened instinctively.“Morning,” his voice rasped.“You’re awake?”“I have been up for a while now.” He paused. “You move like you’re planning an exit strategy.”I exhaled softly. “Sorry, occupational hazard.”He turned me gently until I was facing him. The morning light caught in his eyes, softer than I’d ever seen them. “Well, you’re stil

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS   CHAPTER 130: Ours

    Ariana’s POVThe mansion gates opened before the car fully stopped.I watched them part slowly, iron bars sliding back, revealing the long drive lined with trimmed hedges and white roses. It looked exactly like something out of a legacy magazine. This was Alex’s home, no, scrap that. It was ours.I straightened slightly in my seat as the car rolled forward. My suitcase sat beside me, Lily’s dramatic hug still lingering in my mind. She whispered, Call me if you need anything, " as if I were boarding a plane into another country.Maybe I was.The house came into full view as we curved around the fountain. It wasn’t one of those tasteless extravagant houses. That would’ve been easier to digest. It was elegant with cream stone, tall windows, and clean lines. It had old money energy with modern restraint.The car door opened before I could reach for it with Alex standing beside it. He had on a tailored charcoal suit with no tie, the top button of his shirt undone. His expression was

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS   CHAPTER 129: Private Territory

    Ariana’s POVI didn’t sleep and that was not because of Victoria but because of Alex.There’s a difference.Victoria Sterling was predictable, calculated, loud in her silence and even louder in her presence. I had expected her to show up eventually. Alex had too.But last night wasn’t about her.It was about the way Alex’s hand found mine under the table during the final speech. The way his thumb brushed once against my knuckles. It was a silent reminder.You’re my wife.No one else knew. not the board, the investors, my family, or his. We had signed the papers three weeks ago in a quiet registry office with only Ethan and my Lily as witnesses. There were no rings, no announcement, and no press. It was just us.And now I was folding my clothes into boxes to move into his mansion, not the penthouse.“The penthouse is too small,” he had said this morning while tying his cufflinks. “You’ll hate it after a week.”I had raised an eyebrow. “You mean we would hate it.”He didn’t correct me

Half the people in this room had once toasted to me at his side and half of them had whispered condolences when he “moved on.” The rest had just adjusted.That was the thing about power circles……their loyalty was seasonal.As I walked into the hall, I spotted them near the center of the ballroom.Alex…..and her.Ariana looked beautiful. I’ll give her that. She wore a soft silver dress, minimal jewellery, her hair flowing down her back, giving her a majestic look, her hand resting li

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS   Chapter 127: Old Alliances

    Jerry’s POVI didn’t go straight home after the garage.That would have been pointless. Victories and threats taste better when you let them be.The city was sliding into the evening when I pulled into the private lounge off Mercer, the kind of place that didn’t advertise because it didn’t need to. Soft lighting, soundproof walls, staff trained to forget faces the moment they turned away. I’d chosen it carefully. Victoria was already there.Of course she was.She sat with her back straight, one leg crossed over the other, a glass of white wine untouched in front of her. She looked exactly like she always had—polished, immaculate but there was something sharper in her eyes now. Distance had done that. Distance and resentment tend to refine people.She didn’t stand when she saw me. Just lifted her gaze and smiled faintly, like she’d been expecting me down to the minute.“Jerry,” she said. “You’re late.”“By two minutes,” I replied, taking the seat across from her. “You always exagge

  • ACCIDENTALLY MARRIED TO MY BILLIONAIRE BOSS   Chapter 126: Pressure Points

    Alex’s POVJerry waited until the hallway was almost empty.That was his style. He was never dramatic or loud but always calculated. He stepped out of the side conference room just as I rounded the corner, like he had timed my stride down to the second.“Alex,” he said pleasantly. “Got a minute?”I didn’t slow. “If this is about the meeting, you already lost.”He fell into step beside me anyway. “Did I?”“Yes.”He smiled like I’d told him something amusing. “Funny because from where I was sitting, you barely kept your chair.”We reached the elevators. I hit the button harder than necessary. “Careful,” I said. “You’re starting to sound bitter.”“No,” Jerry replied. “I’m sounding patient.”That got my attention.The elevator dinged. We stepped inside alone. The doors slid shut, sealing us in polished steel and quiet tension.Jerry straightened his cuffs. “Your mother called me.”I looked at him. “That’s a mistake on her part.”“No,” he said calmly. “It was intentional. She wanted to kn
