MARRIED ACCIDENTALLY

CHAPTER 38

Ann’s POV

I don't know if the loud banging of my head woke me up or the loud ringing of my phone which I can't find on the side drawer where I usually place it before sleeping.

After roaming my hand around the drawer, lazy to get out of bed, I finally sit up, glancing around for where the sound is coming from.

Suddenly, my eyes land on a man sleeping next to me.

A shrill cry leaves my mouth before recognition settles on my face.

Vince.

The shock on my face is instantly replaced with confusion when I remember how drunk I was last night.

Did something happen? Why is he in bed with me?

I stare down at my clothes in horror, only to find them in place.

The things missing are my shoes and jewelry. He must have taken them off.

I snap my head to his sleeping figure.

Vince has never slept beside me, not in the same bed, but here he is, sleeping so soundly like a baby.

Was he drunk too? I don't remember him drinking. He seems like someone who doesn't drink at all after I offered him a drink and he rejected it.

A smile tugs on my lips when he tosses closer to my side, giving me a clear view of his face.

He looks really innocent when sleeping. And carefree. And goddamn handsome. His long, sharp nose complements his sharp jawline.

His facial hair is well-trimmed and styled, leaving a rich stubble behind.

My gaze moves to his thick eyebrows, reminding me of his small eyes.

An unconscious smile leaves my lips again before I find myself trailing a finger over his straight thick hair.

I weave my fingers through his hair softly, enjoying the feeling while daydreaming about how different everything would have been if we were not in this situation.

How wonderful it would have been if this is not a backward sided relationship.

How it would feel if I had met Vince, fell in love with him and had him fall in love with me before we eventually got married.

It makes me wonder what a romantic, intimate relationship with Vince would have been.

No matter how long I think about this or imagine what difference all of this would make if we were not accidentally married, I always remind myself not to lose guard.

I remind myself that this is temporary. And Vince would never love a woman like me.

If I was truly married to him, it would be impossible to get an annulment like his mother mentioned.

Now that I think of it, I want to desperately ask him if this applies to me too.

Since we both know this is temporary from the start, it shouldn't affect me, should it?

I recall asking him about an annulment the other day but he never replied.

Should I ask him again? What about the title of his Mafia queen? What happens to that when I am gone? What fate lay ahead of me after a life with Vicente?

Will I ever get to find another man so simple like him? Or a man who would love me just the way that I am.

Two sets of eyes flutter open to meet my dreamy gaze and I sit upright quickly, letting my fingers drop from his hair.
