All Chapters of ACCIDENTALLY HIS MISTRESS : Chapter 41 - Chapter 50

(ALEXA'S POV)I knew the Gland City project, I had personally designed it with Luke. It was his biggest and last step to put his company above all. There was no way he would hand it over, I wouldn't dare ask him, he has been planning and waiting for this way before I came into his life.I paced the hallway, my mind racing, I was out of ideas. Every hour counted in this forty eight hour window. Just then, Lala walked in. "Alexa," she said softly."Is everything ready?" I asked, praying and hoping.Lala's eyes narrowed slightly. "Yes its done. Are you really going?" she asked.I smiled reassuringly. "Yes, I am."I took the dress from Lala and headed to the hospital room to get ready. After a quick shower, I left and made my way to the hotel room. I poured myself a glass of water and waited.Steven walked in, looking older than I remembered. For the first time, I saw him in casual clothes, this was a contrast from his usual tailored suits. Steven loved to appear put together. Something

(ALEXA'S POV)"She was the first rose," he said with a faraway look as if lost in thought.I gasped, “A rose?” Roses were the highest ranking flowers and to become one required exceptional skill and intelligence, their hands were tainted in blood. Roses were the leaders among the flowers, on par with the Orchid Lords themselves.He continued, his voice low and introspective. "She hid the fact that her body had merged with the drug at a young age. She wasn't addicted, and so she couldn't be controlled. Her exceptional performance in every area and her intelligence scared the Orchid. They secretly did tests on her and discovered her secret. The fact that she wasn't under their control terrified them so they locked her up in a laboratory, demanding that she produce a drug that replicated the effects of her body."I felt a shiver run down my spine as I listened.“She was an exceptional chemist and it didn't take her long to developed the drug that would help one despite their bodies to ge

(ALEXA'S POV)"Hello," I said cautiously, my voice barely a whisper.“Hello, pretty lady,” she replied.“What is your name?” I asked, praying she had a normal name.“Iris,” she answered, her smile bright. “And you, pretty lady?”I hesitated, the necklace I held burning in my palm, like a warning. I held it tighter, deciding to go with the safe option. "Alexa Jones," I said.“That's a pretty name, Alexa,” she said, her tone genuine.“So, what are you doing here, Iris?" I asked curiously. The Garden never let the young ones out, not until they were trained into the perfect, deadly flowers that were ready for missions. So how did she get out?“I am here with my mother. We are looking for my father.” she replied.I stared at her in shock. "Mother?" I asked, since when was the Orchid allowed contact with the outside world, we were all raised orphans. No parents, no family. “You have parents?” I asked once again, losing my composure.“Yes,” she replied with a simple nod, as if it were th

(ALEXA'S POV)He looked up, his eyes filled with sorrow. “They have her.”A gasp escaped my lips. “They do?” I asked my voice filled with disbelief.“Yes,” he confirmed. “But she is safe, as long as I remain under their control.”I chose my next words carefully, my eyes fixed on his troubled face. “Have you seen her?” I askedA flicker of pain crossed his features. “Yes, I see her when I can. She is living in Mr. White’s house, working as a maid. But she is fine.”The name sent a wave of shock through me. “Mr. White? One of the highest lords?”He nodded grimly. “He trained me personally.”“So, have you been with your mother ever since you left the Garden? You were never separated?” I asked once again, just to be sure.He tilted his head, looking at me curiously, but answered without hesitation. “I lost contact with her during my training in the kingdom of Lanka. But I could see her whenever I met with Mr. White.”“Are you sure she is your mother?” I decided to ask boldly.He lifted hi

(ALEXA'S POV)"I need you to secretly install cameras in my mother's room and the hallway," I instructed Sylvie as I sat in our office at The Dove. "Tell the soldiers at the door to be less vigilant. I want it to be easy for someone to sneak in."The Dove was my creation, a company that operated in the shadows, a subcontractor with sectors in everything, but not dominant in any.My thoughts shifted. "Have you taken care of Brandon's scholarship?" I asked. "I need him out of the country. The sooner, the better.""Of course," Sylvie replied, it would hurt without her, she was always efficient.I looked at her, my eyes heavy with unwashed tears. It felt like yesterday that I, a fourteen year old, had met a six year old Sylvie. All the money I earned went to her, to make sure she had a life I never did. When I started working for Steven, I brought her here, to a better school, to be closer to me."Sylvie," I said, my voice gentle. "You are twenty now. It's time for you to go further with
