All Chapters of Accidentally Married to the CEO : Chapter 1 - Chapter 6

The shrill sound of an alarm clock shattered the silence of the tiny apartment.5:00 a.m.Olivia Carter slowly opened her eyes, staring at the cracked ceiling above her bed. For a brief moment, she wished she could close them again and escape reality.But reality never waited.With a quiet sigh, she pushed aside the thin blanket and slipped her feet into a pair of worn slippers. The apartment was silent except for the steady ticking of the old wall clock and the occasional sound of cars passing outside.She made her way to the kitchen and switched on the light.The refrigerator held only a carton of milk, a few eggs, and half a loaf of bread.A faint smile crossed her lips."I'll have to make this work."She carefully prepared breakfast, making the most of what little they had. As she reached for a plate, her eyes fell on a worn notebook resting on the dining table.She froze.The notebook was filled with figures she knew by heart.Hospital bills.House rent.Electricity.Emma's schoo

The following morning arrived quietly.Sunlight streamed through the apartment window, casting a warm glow across the small dining table where Olivia Carter sat absentmindedly stirring a cup of tea.She had barely slept.Every few minutes, her eyes drifted to the phone lying beside her cup.Nothing.No email.No missed calls.No message from Preston & Hart Advertising.Emma noticed her distracted expression and let out an exaggerated sigh."If you keep staring at your phone like that, it'll get scared and stop working."Olivia laughed softly."I wasn't staring."Emma folded her arms."You've looked at it seventeen times.""You counted?""I got bored."Sarah smiled from the kitchen doorway as she carefully arranged her morning medicine on a small tray."Your sister is right," she said gently. "Worrying won't make the phone ring."Olivia sighed and turned the phone face down."I know."She truly did.There was nothing she could do now except wait.After breakfast, she helped her mother

The grand ballroom buzzed with laughter, elegant music, and the soft clinking of crystal glasses.Olivia stood near one of the towering windows, admiring the breathtaking view of Westbridge. Thousands of lights glittered below like tiny stars scattered across the earth."It's beautiful," she whispered."It becomes even more beautiful when you stop looking so nervous."Mia appeared beside her, offering a glass of sparkling juice.Olivia accepted it with a smile."I'm trying.""You've been trying ever since we got here.""I can't help it."Mia linked her arm through Olivia's."Relax. Nobody here knows who you are."She grinned."And for once, that's actually a good thing."Olivia laughed softly."You always know what to say.""I know."The two friends wandered through the ballroom, pausing now and then to admire the luxurious decorations.Everywhere Olivia looked, elegance surrounded her.Golden chandeliers sparkled overhead.Fresh white roses decorated every table.A live orchestra pla
