Ava:

A few minutes after we finished from the dining room, Dante had to leave urgently because he received a call.

Belle and I sat in the living room walking on her assignment when a sudden knock on the door pulled out attention from the book we were writing on.

“Is Daddy back?” Belle asked, looking up with twinkling eyes as I stood up to my feet to check who was at the door.

I shook my head, almost certain it wasn't Dante, “I don't think it's him.”

“Oh,” the gleam in her eyes faded, “But are you expecting someone?”

I was not expecting anyone at all. And the only people who I could have expected to be were both busy and were far off from where I am. Cecily wasn't coming here until later.

I swallowed a tight lump stuck to my throat and walked over to the door, hesitating to check who it was on the door knob because for some God awful reason, the incident from yesterday had left me in a constant state of paranoia.

My eyes trailed over to the peephole and a frown curved up my brows when

    Dante:I hadn't gone too far into the second path of the road before my legs slowed to a stop, and it dawned on me the stupid fucking thing I had done.But I had been too damned scared to realize, and I knew without a doubt that Ava won't be soothed in any way at all if she doesn't go the other way to check.She wouldn't have refused no matter what I said.And the chance of letting her go the other way was the first mistake I made.“Fuck. Fuck.” I cursed, slipped my hands into my pocket, and pulled out my phone, only to let out a frustrated breath when I recalled she wasn't with her phone.I was already scared. And losing Ava while searching for Belle would make matters less better.I turned around immediately, rushing back to the junction we had both departed from.My fingers frantically swiped the screen, and I immediately dialed Luke’s number.The call rang continuously, but there was no answer.I had been trying his number for a while now but it kept directing me to voicemail.I d

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Wife    CHAPTER NINETY-SIX: HELLO, SISTER.

    Ava:We walked fast down the street, and Dante's hand was on my back the whole time. I kept looking everywhere. My throat was raw from calling her name.We turned a corner, and the road split into two paths. I just knew going together wasn't going to work. It would be faster if we went separate ways.I stopped walking, and as soon as Dante noticed, he stopped walking too, turning back to me with a visible curve of worry in his brows.“What's wrong?” He asked.“We need to split up.” As soon as the words were out of my lips, he frowned.With a resigned sigh, he called out to me softly. And I wanted to listen to him; I really wanted to, but I was beyond reasoning at this point.We needed to find Belle by all means, and walking together like this was going to make our search slower.He looked at me. “No.”“Please.” I grabbed his arm. “If we stay together like this, it's going to take too long. We're wasting time. I—they could be anywhere at this point. Please…”“Ava—”“We won't find her

    Ava:I barely heard anything Dante was saying as I pulled away from him and ran down the porch, checking both sides of the road, hoping I'd see wherever the person went off to.But there was nothing. Not a single person in sight and not a single car on the road. Everywhere was empty, slowly fueling the fear building up in my throat.“Ava,” Dante called out to me, following me down the streets as I rushed down the street.“Ava!” Dante's voice came from somewhere behind me.I turned into the alley three houses down. My heart was beating so hard I could feel it in my throat, and in my ears, I could feel it everywhere. I looked behind the trash bins and checked the corners. There was a little gap between the fence and the wall where nothing could fit, but I looked anyway because what if—“Belle,” I called out, frantically looking around the whole place. “Sweetheart, where are you?”It hurt to talk. Like something was stuck in my throat.“Ava, wait.” Dante pleaded softly, trying to reach

  • The Billionaire's Accidental Wife    CHAPTER NINETY-FOUR: SOMEONE TOOK HER

    Ava:Dante pulled away, his gaze trailing the corners of the room. He must have noticed the arranged box of clothes beside the bed, because he suddenly asked, “You're done arranging your things already?”“Yeah. Natasha helped me.”“Oh,” he nodded a little, “I left the office early so I could help you with packing your things.”He unwrapped his arms from my waist and walked over to pick them up. “I'll take them outside.”With a nod, I made my way towards the door. “I should check up on Belle and take her things outside.”“Take the keys. I left it on the coffee table in the living room.”“Okay.I went into Belle’s room and grabbed one of her boxes, which was already arranged.Belle was picking up her drawings when I walked into the living room.“Mummy, do you need help with anything?” She looked up, her dark eyes gleaming bright.“No, baby. I just want to drop this box outside. I'll be back in a jiffy.”“Alright.”I unlocked the door and stepped outside the house, my gaze trailing the s

    Dante:The car pulled to a stop and I killed the engine, but just before I could step out, my gaze dropped to my phone which vibrated in my pocket.I was expecting a call from Luke, so without checking the whole it was calling, my fingers swiped through and the call connected immediately.“Luke,” I called out, but instead of his voice, I heard my mom’s instead “Dante.”A deep frown settled between my brows, “Mom.”I could almost tell the reason why she called, and before she could get a word out, I let out a deep sigh and spoke first, “Don't tell me you called because of Georgia?”She let out a soft breath, “So you know what you did?”“I didn't do anything wrong. I simply pointed out what she did which was very wrong.”“You don't treat people who care about you that way,” she sighed.Of course, she also intended to paint me as the wrong one here, and I couldn't help but ask, “Did she tell you the whole thing that happened or did she just talk about how I spoke to her?”“She told me e

    Dante:Georgia's eyes squinted hard at me, and she frowned deeply. “What?”“You heard me.” I stayed relaxed, keeping my eyes on her and watching her brows crease tightly.“Of course, I heard you. I mean, what are you trying to say?” Her voice faltered at the end, and that was all the cue I needed to know that she was perfectly aware of what I was trying to say and was simply just trying hard to push the topic aside.“You know what I mean.”She opened up to say something but then pressed her lips shut. “You can’t—Dante, you can't possibly be trying to accuse me of calling the paparazzi, making them have those pictures, and then leaking them to the public. I've had paparazzi follow me all my life. So how is this situation my fault?”I let out an aggravated sigh. “Did you or did you not have a hand in it?”A breath escaped her lips, and she waved her hands in the air. “What makes you think I'll do that?”“That doesn't answer any of my questions.”“Yeah, well, because I'm beyond shocked y
