Accidentally His

About this story

Synopsis

Layla Bellini never wanted a billionaire's name. She wanted to save her father's company, keep her head down, and disappear back into her own life by morning. One blackout ruined all of it. "I'm not her," she told him, staring at a man the entire room believed she was about to marry. "Whoever you think I am, you have the wrong woman." Zayd Marchetti didn't care. He needed the marriage to stand, at least until his billion-dollar deal was signed, and he made that clear in front of every camera in the room before Layla could say otherwise. "Then we'll fix it after the deal is done," he said, like it was that simple. Like her entire life hadn't just been rearranged for his convenience. It should have stayed simple. A temporary marriage, a business arrangement, nothing more. Instead, Layla found herself reshaping his empty mansion into something like a home, drawn into his most ambitious project, and slowly, infuriatingly, falling for the one man she never chose. "You were never supposed to matter," he told her one night, his voice rougher than she'd ever heard it. "I don't know how to fix that anymore." But the mix-up that trapped them together was never an accident, and Layla is the one who has to unravel it, before the truth costs her the company, the family, and the man she wasn't supposed to fall in love with at all. The world thinks she's the wrong bride. Layla intends to prove exactly how wrong they are.
