All Chapters of Accidentally Finding My Perfect Match : Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Edith's POV Four years ago, on my first day as an intern at his accounting firm, I fell in love with my new brother-in-law, Murphy Perez. Unfortunately for me, two weeks later, he met and instantly became enamored with my elder sister, Heather. I was currently at their wedding reception, watching them dance happily under the festive lighting of their wedding reception, with a heavy, despair-laden heart. “One day, you will dance with your husband just like that.” My dad uttered from his seat beside me, and I finally tore my gaze away from the couple to look at him. Feigning a smile, I simply nodded. If only he knew the truth. The only person who knew that I was in love with Murphy was me, and I intended to keep it that way forever. I had tried my best to move on from Murphy, even allowing Yvonne, my best friend since diapers, set me up on dates. But, I just couldn't bring myself to like any single one of them, as my feelings for Murphy kept growing like a stubborn tumour. “Fo

Edith's POV I woke up with a start. Looking up at the intimidatingly tall ceiling, I instantly realized that I wasn't in my bedroom at my parents’. Before I could rack my brain for more answers, an agonizing tide of headache gripped my temples, causing me to groan and close my eyes, as I turned sideways. Shortly after, I opened my eyes and to my utter shock, Caruso was sitting on a chair across from the bed. He was still clad in his outfit from yesterday, albeit without his coat, his mien indecipherable. One swift glance around told me this was a hotel room. “Good morning, wife.” He said, a wry smirk suddenly appearing on the right corner of his lips. What was Caruso on about? “What are you saying?” I asked, wincing as a particularly aggressive ache attacked me right on my forehead. I still couldn't recall anything, beyond him asking me out for drinks at the balcony. Something hit me then. What if he had forcefully had his way with me? With my heart in my thr

Edith's POV “What are we gonna have for dinner?” Yvonne asked, as we walked into the mammoth building of our workplace, Kingston corporation. I worked as the CEO’s secretary while my best friend worked in IT. Regarding my accidental marriage, I'd decided it was best to keep it to myself. I wasn’t planning on meeting Caruso again anyway. Even though I thought about our torrid smooch at the chapel everyday for no good reason. Asides that, the fact that Heather had yet to forgive me, and that I still harboured untoward feelings for Murphy, weighed heavily on my chest like a slab of lead. “You are funny,” I said, amused, “We barely just got to work and you're already thinking about dinner.” Shrugging, Yvonne replied, “Food is central to my life. I'm thinking we should have lasagna. Or will you make your special buffalo sauce with rice?” Utterly bemused, I shook my head, “Let's see how the day goes.” “Okay,” She responded, as we stepped into the elevator, where two of our coworker

Edith's POV I sighed heavily as I took a good look at the framed picture of Heather and I holding each other with identical smiles plastered to our faces, on my desk. We had taken the picture four years ago at her college graduation. I had begun my internship at Murphy's firm a week later. Had I hearkened Yvonne when she suggested I came to New Jersey to intern at one of the accounting firms there, I wouldn't have met Murphy. And I wouldn't be carrying this huge pain in my chest, because he'd foregone me to marry my elder sister, who still wasn't talking to me. I had done everything, even sending her text messages for the past five days, which she hadn't even bothered to open. Heather really hated me so much now. Only the heavens knew how much her hatred would heighten if she ever found out that I was in love with her husband. At that moment, I decided to call her. Thankfully, my sister answered on the third ring. “Hi, Heather,” I greeted, “How's Vienna?” “Good,” Her respo

Caruso's POV “Please forgive me, boss,” A bloody-faced Luca groaned in utter agony, as the caporegime, Oscar, landed a brutal punch to his jaw. He was tied to a chair, his legs chained to the floor. The three of us were in the main warehouse, where criminals and rats like him were tortured, until they desperately welcomed death with open arms like a longtime friend. It was Saturday, so I wasn’t working at Kingston. which gave me more than enough time to deal with Luca. “Unfortunately for you, Luca,” I replied, from across him where I was sitting, “I can't do that because it won't give me back my millions, will it?” His response was a violent coughing of blood, which earned him a gun butt on the head from Oscar. My pistol was safely tucked into the holster on my waist. If Luca chose to corporate, I didn't intend on using the pistol today, because I was in a particularly good mood. After just five days, I had gotten Edith to admit her true wanton desire, even though she still cl
