Accidentally Married to a Billionaire のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 11 - チャプター 20

Eric's POV The few days I've been in the Jones’ household has been smooth. I never imagined living with strangers would feel this comfortable.Mornings started with the smell of coffee and pancakes or toast drifting down the hallway, Sarah humming softly as she moved around the kitchen. Jessica would stumble in half-asleep, complaining dramatically about everything from the weather to the Wi-Fi speed, and Sienna would follow not long after in an oversized sweater slipping off one shoulder, and hair pulled into a messy bun.I admired the bond between Sienna and her sister. Yes, they bickered constantly but they always showed up for each other.This is totally different from what I'm used to. I was raised in a family with too many rules—silence at the breakfast table, and conversations which were mostly about business. Praises were rare but affection was even rarer.Here, they laughed loudly and touched each other fondly. Sarah kissed her daughters’ foreheads without thinking twice. Je

Sienna's POV Fear wrapped itself so tightly around my entire body. The man in the dark hoodie ordered me to walk calmly as he walked beside me, leading the way. The cold metal was still pressed to my side, reminding me that my life was just hanging on a thin thread. We turned into a narrow street, the noise of the city fading with every step, replaced by the hollow echo of our footsteps. I could smell garbage, rust, and damp concrete.My hands shook at my sides, my fingers curled into really tight fists that my nails bit into my palms.Is this how it ends?I thought of my family—my father whom I haven't seen in a week because he's out of town for work. He wasn't even present to celebrate my birthday and now, I'd probably never see him again. And my mother, her warm hugs and soothing words. How would she survive losing me? Jessica, my sweet but overly annoying sister.And Eric.The thought that I might never see him again—that I would disappear without telling him how I feel about hi

Eric's POV“What did you say?” I asked the woman in front of me just to be sure I heard her clearly.“I know where Sienna is.” She repeated.“Who are you?” My voice came out rough.She swallowed. “That doesn’t matter right now.”“It matters to me,” I said, taking a step closer. “You don’t get to walk up to me and say something like that without explaining yourself.”She looked behind her, then back at me. “We don’t have time for this.”Every muscle in my body went rigid. “If this is some kind of joke—”“It’s not,” she cut in sharply. “And if you don’t act fast, you might not see her again.”That got my full attention.“What do you mean, not see her again?”“Her ex, Jason, has her.” She blurted.The name alone was enough to make my blood run cold.“He took her against her will,” the woman continued. “And he’s planning to take her out of town tonight.”My head was spinning. “Slow down,” I said, gripping her arm lightly. “Where is she now?”She reached into her pocket and pulled out a sm

Sienna's POV I sat on the edge of my bed while Jessica flit around my room like a very opinionated fairy godmother.“Hold still,” she says, tugging at my sleeve. “You want to look perfect, right? You’re meeting Alessandra Moretti.”I laughed softly. “I think ‘perfect’ might be a bit much.”“Nope,” she said firmly. “Tonight requires perfection. Or at least close enough.”Jason has been arraigned in court. Standing in that witness box and testifying against the man who once claimed he loved me wasn't easy. Yes, he cheated on me but I never imagined that he would go through such lengths to prove a point.It’s been a week since the incident and my family has been of great support. I went back to work two days later and that was when I found out Brenda had resigned and moved out of town.These questions still raced through my mind.What made her help Eric?Was it guilt or fear?I thought about it over and over. Something must have happened between her and Jason that pushed her to choose m

Sienna's POV I stared at Eric across the dinner table.“Come with you?” I asked softly.He reached across the table and took my hand again.“I’m serious, Sienna.”“I want them to see you,” he continued, his thumb brushing slow circles against my knuckles. “I want my parents, my family, everyone back home to see the woman who has my heart.”My heart fluttered.There was just something about the way he spoke with such pride and certainty.“You know they’ve already seen the wedding video,” he added quietly. “And according to Connor, my father is furious. He’s threatening to disown me for disgracing the family name.”I swallowed hard. “Eric…”“It doesn’t matter,” he cut in gently but firmly. “None of it does.”He squeezed my hand tighter.“All my life, I’ve lived according to his expectations.” His jaw tightened, but his voice remained steady. “Loving you wasn't something I expected but I intend to do it wholeheartedly from now on.”My heart swelled until it almost hurt. I looked up at h
