The moment those words left my mouth I knew I would regret it.

He stood up staring at me, his expression unreadable.

The room, which had already been deathly silent, now felt dangerously dead.

I heard the sharp inhale of breath from someone—Jane, maybe. The sound of shifting bodies. But my attention was locked on Alex.

He didn’t move.

Didn’t react.

Just stood there, staring at me, his expression unreadable.

The tension was suffocating.

I should have felt victorious.

But for some reason, I felt like I had just stepped too close to the edge of a cliff.

My head was spinning, my vision getting blurrier. I wanted to steady myself but I couldn't hold it anymore so I placed my hands on the table too.

Then—

Alex turned.

Just like that.

Without a single word, he straightened, adjusting his cufflinks with precise, measured movements then he looked at Grace.

"Take her home," he said. His tone was calm—too calm. One that's distant and sent a shiver through my bones.

Grace hesitated

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Bride    Chapter 107 - Ninth of April

    Elena POV “What do you mean?” I asked, voice shaky.“The investigator I hired… he came back to me with some weird findings. He said your parents’ case? It was labeled confidential. Like, beyond normal protocol. Some influential party had it buried. And any attempt to reopen the case was flagged and pushed back with legal force.”I blinked, not understanding. “Why would anyone try to cover up my parents’ accident? It was just a car crash…”“That’s the thing,” he said, leaning forward. “It wasn’t just a crash. It wasn’t even an accident. According to what the investigator pieced together… there were signs of tampering. Their car was rigged.”I felt the breath leave my lungs.Rigged?No. No, no, no…I opened my mouth, but no words came out.“And that’s not all,” Damien continued, his voice low. “A few days ago, Alex came to me. Told me to back off. Said I should keep my hands out of places they weren’t needed.”I stared at him, my blood running cold.“What?”“Yeah. He wasn’t aggressive

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Bride    Chapter 106 - What are they hiding

    Elena POV I look at him then at the paper then at him again, repeating it for a couple of times.I couldn't believe my eyes. What was I looking at?“ What is this?” I asked even though I'm quite sure this is the documents of my parents house, after the fifth time of reading the heading at the top.“ Your parents house”I stared at the paper reading each line without missing a single word. I still couldn't bring myself to accept that the house which I almost died for is now miraculously in my hands like nothing had happened.“ How? How did you convince Pete to sign you the documents?” “ Who said I had to convince him”He smiled Right there I couldn't hold back the tears that had been threatening to pour out since I saw the document.Not tears of sadness but tears of joy.I smiled looking back down at the paper as tears rolled down my cheeks.His fingers cupped my faces, raising them to meet him. “Hey, look at me.”And I did.“I promise to help you get back everything you've lost to t

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Bride    Chapter 105 - The surprise

    Elena POV The car felt too quiet, like even the hum of the engine didn’t want to break my thoughts. I held the paper tighter than I needed to, fingers curled around it like it could crumble into ash if I let go.Catherine’s voice kept echoing constantly in my head. Her every sentence, and that one line. “Ninth of April, ring any bells?”God, how did she know about them?I stared out the window, but I wasn’t really looking. My mind was miles away, back on Fremont Street, back to horrors and terror as they rushed my parents into the hospital.How things went silent from then on till they brought the news to me.I bity lips slightly trying to hold the tears from coming out as my heart thudded louder than the car's tires on the road.I know her aim is to break me and Alex up and I shouldn't trust or think about anything she said but the thought of Alex ever been connected to my parents death was rather concerning.Everything just didn't make sense. I mean after they died, they immediate

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Bride    Chapter 104 - Sudden encounter with my arch enemy

    Elena POVIf someone had told me Alex Donovan would turn into this doting, gentle giant, I’d have laughed them off. But here I was, standing in the kitchen, watching him fuss like some overworked mom.“You missed a spot,” I teased as I perched on one of the stools.He sniffled and blinked rapidly, turning his face toward me so I could see the tears streaming down his cheeks.“Onions,” he muttered like they were his mortal enemy.I bit my lip to hide my laugh. “Poor baby,” I cooed.“Shut up,” he grunted, swiping the back of his hand across his face.He went right back to dicing the onion into rather unneat little chunks, trying so hard to look like a pro even though he kept wincing like someone was peeling his soul.And that was just one of many hilarious scenes these past few days. Every morning was like my own personal comedy show. Alex fussing about food, rubbing my feet, even consulting Madam Wayne like she was some pregnancy whisperer.We still went to every appointment together,

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Bride    Chapter 103 - A feeling like home

    Elena POV I followed him, grinning like a kid who just won candy.By the time we hit the kitchen, he was rubbing his face like a tired dad. “Alright. Cheesecake. From scratch,” he mumbled as I plopped myself onto the counter.“You can do it,” I cheered, chin in hands.He pulled up some YouTube videos and cursed under his breath as flour went everywhere, and at one point he tried to mix too fast and splattered cream cheese on his shirt.“You’re a mess,” I laughed.“You’re enjoying this too much,” he shot back, finally sticking the wobbly cheesecake in the oven like it was a ticking bomb.While we waited, he boiled water and stirred together a cup of hot chocolate, hands still covered in powder and looking a little grumpy but also kind of cute.I just sat there, hands on my chin, watching as his expression shifted from confused to baffled to surprise then to annoyed.I couldn't help but smile a little. It was really a good thing knowing that he's trying his best. At least for now I gue

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Bride    Chapter 102 – Midnight cravings

    Elena POVWe stayed under that oak tree for a long while, hands laced together like we didn’t even realize it at first. The sun had shifted higher, warm and golden against my face.“You mean it?” I asked him after a while, my voice small but hopeful.He glanced at me sideways, brow lifted. “Mean what?”“That you’ll talk to your mom,” I murmured, feeling my throat tighten.Alex was so still for a moment that I thought he’d shut me down. But then he sighed and nodded.“Yeah,” he answered. “I will.”Some of the weight I’d been carrying all morning seemed to loosen in my chest.“Thank you,” I whispered.He didn’t reply. Instead, his thumb brushed across my knuckles, his palm warm. It wasn’t much, but coming from him — someone so careful with feelings — it was everything.When we finally left the cemetery, my heart felt lighter.---The drive home was mostly quiet. Alex kept one hand on the wheel and the other resting lightly on my knee. Every so often, I’d catch him glancing over at me li
