THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE Chapter 27
The safe house penthouse felt different tonight—quieter, as if the city itself was holding its breath. Luna stood before the bathroom mirror, watching steam dissipate from the glass like ghosts of the day's terrors. The hot water had washed away the grime and blood from Building 12, but the phantom weight of the zip ties still pressed against her wrists, the echo of Damien's voice still whispered in her ears.She touched the bruise along her collarbone, wincing not from pain but from memory. How many times had she replayed those moments? The cold metal chair, the harsh fluorescent lights, the way Roberts had looked at her with such calculated cruelty. Her fingers trembled as she reached for the crescent moon keychain on the marble counter, its silver surface catching the light like tears.Your mother's secrets, she thought, turning the delicate piece over in her palm.The weight of it all pressed down on her chest—not just the conspiracy, but the realization of how close she'd come to
THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE Chapter 26
Luna’s hands trembled around the yacht keychain, its silver crescent moon catching the SUV’s dim light. The chaos—gunfire, smoke, Roberts’s laughter, Damien’s screams—still echoed in her mind, a storm refusing to pass. But Grayson’s arm was steady, his heartbeat a calm rhythm against her cheek. They had escaped Building 12, but danger still lingered. Roberts had vanished. Damien’s words—You’ll always be mine—still clung like poison. Grayson brushed her bruised cheek, his touch gentle, his eyes blazing with quiet fury. His suit was rumpled, jaw shadowed with stubble, but his presence felt immovable. “Talk to me, Luna,” he said, low and urgent. “What did she do to you? What did she say?” Luna swallowed. Roberts’s voice still echoed: You’re a pawn. Not a wife. Just a way for Grayson to fix his father’s sins. All her fears—of not being enough, of being a burden—had been weaponized. “She said you love me only to fix your father’s sins,” Luna whispered. “That I’m just leverage. A tool.
THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE Chapter 25
Grayson’s SUV screeched to a halt in the Marina District, the rusted silhouette of Building 12 looming against the night sky like a forgotten relic. The text—Come alone, or she dies—burned in his mind. Luna’s bruised face and defiant plea replayed like a relentless nightmare. Trap or not, he’d walk through fire to bring her home.His fingers brushed the concealed Glock at his waist, its cold weight a reminder of the stakes. He wasn’t a soldier, wasn’t trained for this, but for Luna—the woman who’d crashed into his world and stolen his heart—he’d become anything.Marcus’s voice crackled through his earpiece, urgent and low. “Thermal scans show six hostiles inside—armed, spread out across the lower level. You’re walking into a kill zone.”“Stay back,” Grayson said, his voice steady despite the storm raging in his chest. “No one moves without my signal. Understood?”“Grayson,” Marcus replied, his tone pleading, professionalism cracking. “Let us go in first. You’re not trained for this, a

Luna’s cheek throbbed where the masked figure had struck her, the pain sharp but fleeting compared to the deeper ache of seeing Grayson’s rage on the monitor before the feed cut. Her words—Don’t give them anything—had been a desperate plea, but she knew Grayson too well. He’d tear the world apart for her, just like he’d promised under that starlit garden on their first real date.She tugged at the ropes binding her wrists, the coarse fibers biting into her skin. The basement’s damp air was heavy with salt and rust. Somewhere nearby, water lapped gently against docks—a cruel reminder of how far she was from safety… from him.Damien leaned against the wall, his tailored suit and polished shoes a mockery of the monster she’d once escaped. His blue eyes, once deceptively charming, gleamed now with sick, obsessive hunger.“You really think he’s coming, Luna?” he sneered. “Grayson’s got his empire, his billions, his perfect life. You’re just a stray he picked up. A project to make himself f
THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE Chapter 23
The war room at Vaughn Industries was a fortress of steel and glass, its sleek walls lined with screens that now mocked Grayson Vaughn with their silence. Luna’s tracking signal—a fragile lifeline to his wife—had vanished forty-seven minutes ago. The warehouse in Long Island City was a dead end.Grayson stood at the head of the conference table, gray eyes burning into the blank central monitor. His hands gripped the polished oak so tightly the wood groaned beneath his fingers. The memory of Luna’s voice—Don’t give them anything—from that chilling call echoed in his mind, her defiance both a comfort and a torment. Every second without her carved a deeper wound, threatening to unravel the iron control he had built over years as a CEO.Sarah, the tech analyst, sat hunched over three laptops, her fingers a blur as she sifted through data streams. Her dark hair was twisted into a messy bun, her eyes bloodshot from sleepless hours. “They made us,” she said tightly. “The authorization codes
THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE Chapter 22
Luna's wrists were raw from the zip ties, but the physical pain was nothing compared to the crushing realization of her situation. The warehouse smelled of rust and motor oil, and the single bulb hanging overhead cast harsh shadows across concrete walls.She'd been here for hours, tied to a metal chair in what looked like an abandoned mechanic's shop. Her captors had been surprisingly professional—no unnecessary violence, just efficient restraint and silence. But something about their behavior suggested they were waiting for someone.The sound of footsteps echoed through the warehouse, and Luna's blood turned to ice. She knew that walk—the slightly uneven gait from an old football injury, the way the left foot dragged just slightly."Well, well. Look what we have here."Damien stepped into the light, and Luna's stomach lurched. He looked different from the last time she'd seen him—cleaner, more polished, wearing an expensive suit that didn't quite hide the predatory gleam in his eyes.
