Semua Bab ACCIDENTALLY IN MATRIMONY : Bab 11 - Bab 20

The engine's low growl was a desperate plea in the quiet, a half-whispered prayer hanging heavy between them. Grey's knuckles, stark white on the steering wheel, mirrored the rigid set of his jaw,tight enough to shatter diamonds. Ahead, the hospital loomed, its brutal fluorescent glare slicing through the night like a thousand accusations he wasn't ready to face. Liam slumped in the passenger seat, had shed his usual teenage swagger, leaving behind a raw, exposed vulnerability that jabbed at Greyson, pulling him back to his own youth. The boy's hands trembled, just perceptibly, as he stared out the window, the city lights blurring into streaky neon ghosts. "You're driving like a maniac," Liam's voice was a low hum, barely cutting through the engine's roar. He didn't ease up. He couldn't. Every single second they hurtled down this road was another second Cassie lay there, another tick of the cosmic clock deciding if it would snatch her from him, too. He'd learned the hard way that th

Grey pushed the door open slowly, careful not to make any noise. The first thing he saw was her back the cascade of dark blonde hair that had escaped from whatever attempt had been made to braid it, falling across her shoulders and down her spine. She was sitting up in bed, wearing one of those hospital gowns that never quite fit right, talking to a nurse who was checking the IV line connected to her left arm. "I'm feeling much better today," she was saying, her voice hoarse but animated. "The headaches are almost gone, and I managed to eat actual food this morning instead of just.." She stopped mid-sentence as the door opened wider, and Greyson stepped into the room. The nurse looked up first, offering a professional smile, but Cassie's reaction was different. She went completely still, her eyes widening as she took in his appearance. Greyson felt his breath catch in his throat. Her face was a roadmap of healing, yellowing bruises around her left eye, a cut on her lower lip that wa

Greyson was a whirlwind when it came to packing. Always in a rush, but this time, the destination was his old friend Brendan's wedding. He hadn't seen Brendan in ages and was surprised to learn Cassie was also on the guest list. As he sped towards the airport, a nagging question surfaced: How had he missed her? Or was he so consumed by his life with Viv that no one else mattered? The realization landed in his chest like a lead weight. Had he truly been so blinded by a love that wasn't what he thought, that he’d overlooked someone truly remarkable standing right in front of him? The thought gnawed at him as he mechanically tossed clothes into his suitcase, his body acting on autopilot while his mind reeled with "what ifs" and regrets. His phone buzzed just as he reached for his ride-share app. "Greyson, thank God you picked up," Meagan's voice burst through, breathless and urgent. "Meagan, I'm literally about to leave for the airport. What could possibly be so important" "Stop. Jus

Chapter 17 Cassandra wanted to keep her marriage to Greyson a secret for a couple of reasons. Primarily, she wanted to avoid the impending media storm. She also desired to maintain some privacy, but that was nearly impossible because Jake knew all her favorite hideout spots. The only place he didn't know was where she was headed. She needed time away from the city. Greyson, stressed, also seemed to need a break. Even a few hours away from everything and everyone was necessary, especially since they had to figure out how to break the news to Meg and the kids. Whether she wanted to admit it or not, Cassandra Hunter was now an instant mother, and she hadn't even met Greyson's children. Parts of Cassie wanted to halt this whirlwind, feeling as if her life was moving at the speed of sound. However, when she looked at Greyson, every fear and doubt about their relationship dissolved. She felt safe, wanted, and loved. Upon arriving at the cabin in the forest, Cassie used her keys to open t

Chapter 19 If there was one thing that Cassie didn't want it was getting a lecture from her father she was expecting one given what he had found out and knowing him he would ask her to do something that she didn't want to do anything with her father was always up for discussion regardless of how things were turned out she knew that her father wanted the best for her and I'm mad at you so she had to convince her father that she was really in love with the guy that you had married and the guy that she had married was the guy they didn't expect her to marry and then again they don't expect her to marry guys that they approved of the expected her to marry guys that they don't approve of but in this case, Cassie ended up accidentally in matrimony and she didn't want to explain to her parents how she accidentally got married to her Best Friend's Brother and since she had broken girl cold she decided that she would take whatever comes her way and make the best of the situation that she was
