Lahat ng Kabanata ng The Billionaire’s Accidental Wife: Kabanata 1 - Kabanata 10

London, on autumn mornings, wore a cold grey that mirrored the stillness of Eliana Rossi's life — a stillness that had settled over her ever since her father's death two years before.Eliana was a twenty-seven-year-old Italian woman working in a small workshop specializing in the restoration of old paintings, tucked into a quiet corner of Chelsea. She spent long hours every day bent over an old wooden table, coaxing lost brilliance back into faded colors, and breathing something of a vanished soul back into painted faces.She didn't do this work simply because it was her profession — it was the one thing she had left of her father, the poor Italian painter who had taught her since childhood that colors speak a language only the heart can hear. Yet each brushstroke also reminded her of what she had lost: the scent of turpentine in their tiny studio, his rough hands guiding hers, and the quiet laughter that once filled their cramped kitchen. Those memories were both comfort and wound, a

The next morning, Eliana found herself sitting in Alexander's grand office overlooking the Thames, listening to the terms of a proposal she could never have imagined. The office was vast and cold in its design — much like its owner: glass walls, dark furniture, and a single abstract painting hanging behind the desk, the only thing in the whole room that seemed to carry any soul at all.Alexander sat behind his large desk while his personal lawyer, Mr. Hartman, laid out the terms of the contract for Eliana in a dry, official tone."The marriage will run for twelve months," Hartman said. "During that time, you'll appear as Mr. von Reinhardt's legal wife before family and press alike. You'll reside with him for the full term of the agreement."Eliana listened closely, her eyes flicking between the lawyer and Alexander, who seemed absorbed in his phone, as if none of it concerned him in the least.Hartman continued: "Neither of you will interfere in the other's business or personal affair

The early days at the grand estate crept by, slow and heavy, greeting Eliana with a loneliness that nearly suffocated her. This wasn't just a big house — it was a world unto itself, with its own laws, its own rituals, its own particular, unforgiving cold.The mansion was imposing, surrounded by sprawling gardens of ancient trees and rare flowers, but none of that beauty was hers to claim; all she felt was a deep emptiness swallowing the place whole.Every morning she woke to the sound of wind stirring the branches, and to the faint sunlight slipping through the curtains of her enormous room. She'd start her day quietly, making herself a cup of coffee in the vast kitchen, then head to her small workshop tucked in a corner of the mansion, where she'd carry on with her work — a small tether to the memories that never betrayed her.Alexander, meanwhile, left early each morning for his office in central London and returned late, weighed down by meetings and decisions that demanded his pres

Under London's grey skies, where rain fell softly against the windows of the great mansion, footsteps echoing through silent hallways seemed to carry the weight of the secrets held within those walls. Eliana, still feeling the pull of the contract binding her to Alexander, wandered those corridors like someone lost in a world that neither claimed her nor she claimed it.By now, this was no longer a simple contract marriage — it had become a quiet war between two hearts, each trying to outrun its own fate. Alexander, who had at first seemed like unbreakable ice, was fighting his own private battles in silence, wrestling with doubts creeping into his soul.They sat together in the great living room, watching the fire dance shadows across the walls, but the only real warmth either of them felt came from the fragmented conversations breaking the long night's silence."Every day that passes," Alexander said, his voice edged with something raw, "I feel like things get more complicated than

Amid an autumn atmosphere of cold winds and scattered rain, Eliana and Alexander began bracing themselves for a reckoning they'd long put off. There was no more room to run or dodge — the conflicts born of betrayal and conspiracy had grown into something that threatened not just their future, but their very existence.Meanwhile, Lucas pressed on, more calculating than ever, exploiting every opening to bring Alexander down, whether through legal channels or private manoeuvring. A web of allies, enemies, and secrets surrounded them on every side.At the family estate, Eliana and Alexander gathered in the meeting room, a wide table ringed by grand chairs — though on that day, it was nothing more than a stage for grim plans and pivotal alliances."It's time we laid every card on the table," Alexander said firmly. "Either we win together, or we fall together."Eliana looked at him, her eyes full of resolve. "We won't let Lucas destroy everything. We'll face him with everything we have — wi
