Accidentally Married to the Ghost Billionaire Chapter 34: Walls of silence
The rain hit the high floor-to-ceiling windows of the penthouse with a relentless, rhythmic patter. Vivian sat on the plush leather sofa, a mug of warm tea resting untouched on the mahogany coffee table in front of her. She looked composed, her posture upright, but beneath the quiet exterior, her mind was a whirlwind of unanswered questions and sharp, agonizing suspicions. The heavy front door unlocked with a soft click, and Oliver walked in. He was dripping slightly from the rain, holding a bag of her favorite pastries from the bakery downtown. The moment his dark eyes caught hers, a wave of profound relief washed over his features. He immediately dropped his coat onto a chair and walked fast toward her. "Vivian," Oliver said, his voice deep and laced with genuine concern. He knelt beside the sofa, reaching out to take her hands. "Why did you leave the hospital alone? When I went back to your room and found it empty... I thought something happened to you." Vivian looked down a
Accidentally Married to the Ghost Billionaire Chapter 33: Echoes of deception
The sharp dial tone of the disconnected call echoed through the dimly lit hospital suite, leaving behind a silence so absolute it felt suffocating. Vivian sat motionless on the edge of the medical bed, her phone gripped tightly in her hand. Her heart hammered wildly against her ribs, but her face remained a mask of forced, rigid composure. *Look closer at home, Vivian... Check who Oliver really is...* The distorted words repeated in her head like a dark spell, tearing through her thoughts. She stood up slowly, her hands trembling as she smoothed down the dark wool coat her assistant had dropped off earlier. She began packing her few personal belongings, but her mind was a chaotic storm of fragmented memories. She stared into the mirror above the vanity, trying to force her chaotic thoughts into order. She tried desperately to remember the schoolyard—the classrooms, the corridors of the private academy from a decade ago. She remembered the faces of her peers, the social circles, t
Accidentally Married to the Ghost Billionaire Chapter 32: Seeds of doubt
The quiet rhythm of the hospital heart monitor filled the dimly lit private suite, soft and steady. Oliver sat beside the bed, his broad hand still holding Vivian’s fingers with gentle, unyielding warmth. He looked down at her pale, bruised face, feeling an intense wave of protective instinct rushing through his veins. Vivian turned her dark eyes toward him, her gaze clear and questioning despite her fatigue. "Before the crash, Oliver... what was so important that you wanted to tell me?" Oliver offered her a small, tender smile, stepping closer to smoothly adjust the blanket over her shoulders. His expression was warm, completely devoid of the sharp, lethal edge he had carried outside the room. "I wanted to tell you something I’ve kept to myself since the day we met," Oliver murmured softly, his thumb gently caressing her knuckles. "We didn't meet for the first time at the corporate gala last year, Vivian. We went to the same private academy when we were teenagers." Vivian blinke
Accidentally Married to the Ghost Billionaire Chapter 31: Shattered silence
The pale morning light trickled through the sheer curtains of the penthouse suite, casting a soft, golden glow across the bedroom. Vivian stirred awake, the subtle aroma of freshly ground coffee and toasted brioche drifting from the kitchen. She sat up, running a hand through her dark hair, feeling a rare sense of quiet warmth despite the ongoing corporate war with Victor Smith. When she stepped into the sunlit kitchen, Oliver was standing by the marble counter, setting a carefully arranged breakfast tray. He wore a simple linen shirt, his expression unusually gentle, yet underlined by a deep, quiet resolve. "Good morning," Oliver murmured, his voice soft as he looked up. He walked over, leaning down to gently kiss her forehead. "You need your strength today." Vivian smiled, leaning into his touch for a fleeting moment. "Thank you, Oliver. You always know how to ground me." As she reached for her coffee cup, Oliver remained standing beside her, his hands resting on the edge of t
Accidentally Married to the Ghost Billionaire Chapter 30: The bark of a dying predator
The quiet inside the mahogany-paneled cigar lounge was suffused with an suffocating, razor-thin tension. Vivian stood under the doorway, her dark eyes flashing between Victor Smith’s malicious, bitter sneer and Oliver’s completely motionless posture. Her hand gripped the edge of the brass door handle, her chest rising and falling heavily."What blood, Mr. Smith?" Vivian repeated, her voice dripping with absolute coldness as she took a slow, deliberate step into the room.Victor’s mouth opened, a lethal word lingering on his tongue as he prepared to dismantle Oliver’s cover right before her eyes. However, before Victor could speak, Oliver stepped forward seamlessly, placing himself between Victor and Vivian. His posture remained calm, but his dark eyes locked onto Victor’s with an icy, terrifying intensity that promised swift, total annihilation if another word left his mouth."Mr. Smith is referring to my father's military service and the loss of my family, Vivian," Oliver said smoo
Accidentally Married to the Ghost Billionaire Chapter 29: Shadow reckoning
The morning executive brief at Miller Group began with a wave of stunned, disbelief-filled whispers.Vivian sat at the head of the conference table, holding a fresh cup of dark coffee, fully prepared to lead her team through another grueling day of legal defense. Instead, her Vice President of Finance walked into the room with an expression that bordered on shock."Ms. Miller... the embargo is breaking," the VP stammered, placing a real-time terminal feed on the table. "As of thirty minutes ago, European regulatory authorities abruptly lifted the holds on our luxury import vessels. Our frozen credit lines in Singapore and London were reinstated without conditions."Vivian stared at the digital monitor, her heart skipping a beat. "What happened? Did Smith Global withdraw their regulatory petitions?""They had no choice," her CFO added, leaning over the table with wide eyes. "Smith Global Holdings is currently undergoing a massive financial hemorrhage. Overnight, their European public e
