All Chapters of His Accidental Mrs : Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Two years was enough time for healing. Enough time for forgetting. Or at least pretending to.But lies don’t rot in peace. They ferment, until they return stronger, louder, and desperate to be heard.Adrian didn’t sleep the night after the party. I barely closed my eyes. The photo stayed between us on the nightstand, its threat soaking the room like poison gas.DNA never forgets.He paced the room, holding Micah’s baby monitor like it was the last line of defense. I sat near the window, watching Zaya sleep in her crib across the hall. Everything felt too quiet again.Too quiet never means safe.By morning, Vanessa had canceled her flight back to Italy. She walked in wearing joggers and no makeup—a signal something was serious."We have a problem," she said before I even opened the door fully."You saw it too?"She nodded and held up her phone.A screen capture of the press conference. Noah Roth.“He’s in town for one reason only,” she said. “And it’s not some noble cause.”Adrian join

The courtroom was packed. Every seat filled. Cameras perched in every corner, hungry for a glimpse of the drama unfolding within these walls. Even the silence was tense, brimming with unspoken questions and the weight of everything that had led us here.Consuelo stood by our side—calm, prepared, and fierce. She wore her power like armor, every word calculated, every breath controlled. She had warned us: "This will be a performance as much as it is a trial." And now, the curtains had risen.The judge’s gaze swept across the room, stern and unreadable. “This hearing will now come to order.”Eliora sat across from us, her chin slightly lifted, her expression unreadable at first glance. But behind that icy stare, I saw cracks. Her eyes flitted from the crowd to the bench, her fingers twitching restlessly in her lap. She was unraveling. The confidence she had flaunted during the last hearing had melted into something far more brittle—panic, disguised as poise.Our lawyer stood. Calm, delib

The house had returned to its quiet rhythm. Micah laughed louder, Zaya ran faster, and for a moment, Adrian and I started believing peace could stay longer than a few stolen days.But peace, like trust, is fragile.It cracked again one Wednesday morning.I was in the garden with the twins, watching Micah chase a butterfly while Zaya tried to eat grass. Adrian was on a call with the Vaughan board inside. Vanessa had taken the day off.And then the gates buzzed.I frowned.No expected visitors.No appointments on the calendar.Security answered the gate intercom, then ran inside a minute later, pale-faced."There’s a woman at the gate. She says her name is Celeste. Says she’s Eliora’s friend."The name hit like ice water down my spine.Celeste.The same Celeste Eliora used to call at midnight. The one who bailed her out of fights, sent cryptic gifts, and disappeared like a shadow every time I tried to meet her."She says she has something to give you."I stood up slowly.Adrian came out

The tension inside the Vaughan estate was no longer a storm on the horizon,it was the air they breathed.For weeks now, Adrian’s once-pristine empire had turned into a battleground of whispers, secrets, and silent accusations. The press kept hammering at their doors, not with questions about the company’s growth or new launches, but about the family. About custody hearings, court appeals, mental evaluations, and rumors of another woman who might not be who she claimed to be.But today, something new had shifted.The estate’s silence was not peace. It was preparation.The boardroom echoed with tension. The directors filed in with their folders and skepticism. Adrian stood at the head, wearing a dark navy suit that made his posture look even more rigid.Consuelo took the floor first."As of this morning, we’ve received three formal threats of lawsuits alleging fraudulent transfer of power," she began. "All traced to the rival firm owned by Adrian’s uncle. They’re making noise. Enough to

It started with a knock.Soft. Three taps. Not loud enough to wake the children. But enough to raise my pulse.Adrian opened the door cautiously. A man in a gray suit handed him an envelope and left without a word.Consuelo had warned us this might happen.Inside the envelope was a letter.From Eliora’s new lawyer.It read: The petitioner intends to pursue visitation rights for the child known as Lucian. Failure to acknowledge this claim within the next fourteen days will result in a formal summons to court.I didn’t speak. Neither did Adrian. We just stared at the words, the ink still fresh with menace.“She’s not giving up,” I whispered.“She never intended to.” *****************Later that evening, I found myself in the nursery, staring at Micah’s crib. Zaya was asleep beside him, her hand clutching the corner of his blanket. He mumbled in his sleep, a soft sound that reminded me he was still innocent. Still untouched.But Micah wasn’t here.And that gap—his absence—it
