All Chapters of Forced To Be The Billionaire's Wife: Chapter 21 - Chapter 27

NATASHA I was halfway to my car when my phone started ringing. I didn’t even need to look at the screen to know who it was.Ethan.I smiled to myself, slowing my steps on purpose. I could picture him clearly, pacing around his office probably with his suit jacket still on, his phone in hand, and his eyes glued to the screen like it would magically pull answers out of me. Ethan Kale never waited. And he especially never waited when something important was out of his control.So, I let the phone ring. And ring, until it stopped. Barely a minute later, it rang again. I laughed quietly and finally swiped to answer.“What took you so long?” Ethan asked immediately, sounding more worried than I expected. “Do you realize how long I’ve been calling you?”I leaned against my car and crossed my arms. “Ethan,” I called, laughing under my breath, “you called once.”There was silence on the line.

ALVINAI didn’t want to believe it.I stood outside his room for a few seconds after leaving, trying to process the words. I hadn't heard wrong when he said those words.

And that did something in my chest.At that moment, I realized something that scared me. I wasn’t just scared of Ethan anymore, I was scared for him.The thought hit me. Could Natash

ALVINATWO DAYS LATER...Two days. That was all it took for my life to turn into something I never planned for.I stood in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, hardly recognizing the woman looking back at me. The dress was simple, and so was the wedding. Nothing dramatic. Just the way Ethan wanted it. No crowd, no cameras, just a few witnesses.My hands trembled as I held the fabric at my waist. I told myself to breathe, but my chest felt like it was going to explode. Like something strong was pressing against it.The fact that this was reality, and not one of those crazy imaginations that always popped up, made it more terrifying.I was really getting married to Ethan Kale.Mrs. Loraine knocked softly before entering. “It’s time, madam,” she said gently.I nodded and followed her out.The church was small, almost empty. Just a few seats were filled; Natasha, a few close associates, and the priest.Ethan stood at the altar. He looked so calm that I almost mistook him for an
