Billionaire's Accidental Wife

Chapter 16

Chapter 16 I make my way through the busy airport with my luggage. It takes me a few minutes to

adjust to the modern, big city kind of flow to things again. When I finally make it outside to the “pick -up”

area, I spot my sister and Peter. She comes barging towards me and embraces me in an enormous

hug. I drop my bags instantly and bury my face in her neck. I inhale the familiar scent of her perfume

while tears fill my eyes. I tighten my grip on her as we both sob; motionless in the middle of the busy

walkway. My sister, Christie, and Peter finally pull away, and I stare into their watery eyes. “Oh,

Chelsea dear… I missed you so much, sweetheart,” she mumbles, a big smile carved on her face.

“And look at you…you’re so tanned!”

“I told you it was scorching hot out over there,” I chuckle, wiping my eyes. “But now that I’m back, I

definitely don’t mind being a few shades darker. Beats going to the salon anytime soon!

“You look so beautiful too. I am so proud of you, honey.”

I take a step back, trying to figure out what is also different about her and her kid.

“And what about you, Christie? You are glowing! What’s going on with you?” I scan my sister’s

features. She still has the same shoulder length of dark brown hair, the same shade of green eyes as

mine, and that warm, contagious smile… except, it is brighter somehow. And in a way that extends

beyond her just being happy to see me. My eyes then fall on the glinting diamond sitting on her ring

finger. My jaw immediately dropped. “OMG

what is that on your finger?! Are you engaged?!” I squeal way too loudly. But I do not care. This is a

huge step for me.

“Who is the lucky guy!?”

“You know him.”

“Oh really now?” Chelsea teased as she held the little boy’s hands.

“Um-Sebastian

Her mouth went wide.

“What?!”

“How?”

Christie’s smile becomes even wider. “Well, the man is a big bear. And yes! We’ve set the date for

January next year!”

Her sister squeals back, taking my hands with excitement. “Come on, I will tell you all about him on the

way home!”

I follow my sister to the parking lot, and I get quite a surprise when she guides us over to a

sleek black and expensive looking SUV with a personal driver. Yes. At this time, I am more than

concerned. Everything has changed since my arrival and I have missed something. I don’t even know

what was happening.

“S-sister…” Chelsea stuttered, looking at her sister and nephew with curiosity. “It’s okay. This is our

driver,” Christie replied casually. “I am suddenly confused.” She gasped. An impeccably dressed man in

a black suit and tie immediately took her bags from her. She stared at him with both thanks and

confusion. Something very bizarre was going on, and she was desperate to find out what her sister had

been up to these last few months. Was she engaged to someone rich? “Come on, Lil.. I willexplain

everything on the way home,” Christie announced, noticing her apprehension. She got into the car and

faced her, ready to bombard her with questions. “The connection on the phone was always full of static

when I spoke to you in Kenya. It was impossible to explain everything in detail. I really wanted to, but

then I thought it would be best to tell you in person.” “Okay. I can understand that. Explain away!”

Chelsea muttered, eager to hear all about it. “Well, Sebastian is a wonderful man.”

“Are we taking the brooding Sebastian from one year ago here? Or another Sebastian?” She asked,

trying not to think about what happened back then.

“Same!”

“Well, we met again at a fundraiser, and he’s very charming, rich, and sweet. He treats me like a

queen. And he’s a millionaire! I sold the apartment and now I live with him in his mansion.” “You sold

the apartment!?” Chelsea screamed in disbelief. This news was extremely overwhelming and difficult to

take in given her grief over Kenya. “How could you keep this secret from me for so long?” She asked,

noting the upmarket looking neighborhood outside the window. “Like I said, it was just impossible over

the phone. You will really like Sebastian. He’s a good man.”

Chelsea turns to peer out the window again. The words “fiancée”, “The mansion”, and ” millionaire” had

hit her like a football tackle.

She stared at the stunning houses as they rounded the corner into a neighborhood called Hawaii Drive.

Her eyes bulged wider as they pulled into a circular driveway and the entrance to the mansion.

The car stopped in front of a sculpted waterfall designed fountain set in the middle of the most perfect

square cut green grass she had ever seen. The mansion was big, almost as big as Richmond’s.

When the driver opened the door for them, she stepped out and gasped at the magnificent pristine

white cream mansion. Three large white columns mark the entrance to the large oak front door with a

Romanesque style, adding to the pompous extravagance of it. “It’s 6000 square feet and has over

sixteen rooms,” Christie whispers, coming up to stand beside Chelsea.

“Christie… I… can’t believe what I

‘m used to

he apartment. Not this…

“I know. It’s a lot to take in. But come on, let me show you around before Sebastian returns from his

business trip from Paris.”

Again, Paris’ name made her shiver. She wanted to close the door to Paris and to anyone related to

Dave, because she knew he hated her. Chelsea felt the forceful sensation of her sister tugging at her

left arm, but she ignored it, frozen in awe.

Clearly, her shock had not subsided since they turned the corner on that circular driveway, and as her

sister pulled her towards the front door, it was showing no signs of letting up.
