My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Ellie trembled slightly.

It felt like her world was collapsing.

When she first heard it was Darien who had bribed her maid, she didn't believe it. She thought Darien would never harm her, so when Mollie stepped forward and confirmed it, she had no choice but to believe.

But she never expected...

She never expected herself to be the fool—the completely hopeless fool!

Darien was actually behind everything!

Ellie took a deep breath, the shock and disbelief flooding her mind with no outlet. She wanted to scream, to run, to escape it all...

But a hand gripped her wrist tightly, stopping her from pulling off the headphones as if forcing her to face the cold, harsh truth.

Ellie squeezed her eyes shut, covering her ears as she sank to the ground, muttering, "It can't be... He saved my life, so why would he do this? It's not true…"

Maybe her murmurs triggered the audio because Mollie's voice came through again. "Darien, why is she still clinging to you? You've treated her like trash, and she still doesn't give up. What a pathetic loser. Ugh, I can't stand it!"

Then Darien's voice followed, cool and dismissive. "It's simple. There was an accident a while back, and a firefighter saved her. I was just nearby, but she mistook me for him. Ever since then, she's been obsessed with me. Thanks to that incident, I can do whatever I want to her, and she still won't leave."

As his smug laughter echoed through the headphones, it was like a knife plunging deep into Ellie's heart.
