All Chapters of The Accidental Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

"Are you kidding me? Why would you come with us?" raved Rachel, who had finally canceled her dinner plans with Danny after much hesitation and several back-and-forth texts. She was still wearing her silk blouse and heels from earlier, her earrings slightly askew from when she had tried to change in a rush.Nicholas shrugged, adjusting the cuffs of his shirt. "I just wanted to join in?" he said lightly, almost as if it were the most natural thing in the world."Oh really?!" Rachel rolled her eyes with theatrical exaggeration, then turned her face toward the window again, her breath faintly fogging up the glass. Outside, the streets glistened from a recent drizzle, and the neon lights from nearby shops cast colorful reflections on the wet pavement.At that time, they were in the car, just out of The Plaza area. The familiar bustle of Fifth Avenue faded into the background as the car smoothly transitioned into traffic."Where are we going?" Rachel asked nonchalantly, her tone bored, as s

Lucy cleared her throat softly, her voice laced with a hint of excitement."Um, I got his number from his office, and apparently, he picked up my phone so here I am!" said Lucy lightly, her fingers fiddling with the hem of her blouse as she smiled cheerfully.Rachel just nodded her head. Deep down, a little suspicion flickered in her chest, curling around her thoughts like smoke, but she chose to brush it aside. Believing Lucy—at least for now—felt easier than creating a confrontation."So, are you heading somewhere?" asked Lucy, her eyes scanning Rachel from head to toe with a curious gaze. Her gaze lingered on Rachel’s perfectly ironed ivory blouse, high-waisted trousers, and delicate heels that clicked faintly on the pavement."Yeah, we're planning to do a wedding dress fitting," Rachel said, her lips curling into a bright smile. "Would you like to come with us?""Oh wow! So much fun!" Lucy clapped her hands lightly, her bracelets jingling with the movement. "Since you're doing wel

She knew she should've said something to him, anything at all—but she kept silent instead. Not a word, not a whisper. She let him go, just like that. Her arms remained stiff at her sides, fingers twitching slightly, as if they too were protesting her inaction. How could he say that to her? 'Irresponsible person?' That was quite rude and harsh, even by his standards. The words stung like tiny shards of glass beneath her skin.She clenched her fists, her nails digging into her palms, watching his car disappear right before her eyes, tires humming against the asphalt, taillights glowing like the dying embers of a bitter argument. She didn’t know why, but she felt her tears roll over her cheeks—hot, uninvited, and merciless. She cried for a reason she couldn’t quite name, her shoulders trembling under the weight of emotions she couldn't explain."Excuse me? Are you Mr. Cole's relative?" a soft voice interrupted her spiral of thoughts. Rachel turned around to see a nurse in a white uniform

"I was just helping him get out of bed, what do you think I might do in the emergency room? There are a lot of patients being treated in there, it wasn't just me and him!" Rachel said with a grunt, brushing a loose strand of hair from her face. The fluorescent lights above made her feel even more on display as if her every move had been scrutinized.Nicholas looked so relieved—as if a dark cloud had just been pulled from his face, revealing the sun again. His shoulders dropped slightly, his rigid posture softening. Without saying a word, he reached for his coat, slinging it over his arm with his usual efficiency, and took Rachel's hand to come with him.Rachel felt an electric shock the moment her skin came into contact with Nicholas’s. It wasn't just warmth; it was a strange jolt, a ripple that rushed through her veins like caffeine. Even her heart skipped a beat—thump, silence, then back again. What's wrong with her?"Cancel the internal meeting this afternoon. I have to go—I have a

Rachel knew she should have said something to substantiate her point, but all she did was sit there like someone who was being hypnotized by Nicholas' charm that made her unable to say no. Again, everything happened so fast. Suddenly their lips met and they kissed passionately as if they had been holding back the urge to make love for a long time. Her anxiety seemed to evaporate when his hand started to touch her breast, she wanted him so bad. She was addicted to him, to her he was like a drug that could make her fly high into the sky.She bent down unzipped Nicholas' pants and buried her face between his thighs making him groan as he gripped his hair tightly. Unable to contain herself any longer she moved up onto his lap and penetrated from above. The fact that they made love in the car and in public made her adrenaline pump even more. She swayed wildly until her face was covered by her long, soft, fragrant hair. Both of her hands held Nicholas' face whose expression made her even mo
