My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire

Keira glanced around cautiously and only opened the note after ensuring the curtains were still drawn.

She was genuinely impressed.

She had barely been here a day and still hadn't gotten the full picture, yet someone had already managed to bribe the staff and send her a message?

Unfolding the note, she read the line written on it: "It's too risky to go out. Wait six days."

The meaning was clear—curfews were strictly enforced here, and going out at night was dangerous. Keira's presence was far too sensitive, and there were likely eyes on her everywhere she went. God only knew how many people were stationed outside this little house she was staying in.

If it were her calling the shots, with the South family's cutting-edge technology, she'd have drones and surveillance monitors everywhere.

Keira squashed the temptation to sneak out that night.

It was better to listen to Lewis's advice and proceed cautiously.

With that thought, she lowered her gaze and glanced out the window again.

The frustration was building. She knew deep down that Jodie South might not even be that far away, and she had waited so long to see her. Yet, she couldn't do anything except sit and wait.

Lying on the bed, Keira stared at the ceiling.

That night, she barely got any sleep.

The gnawing feeling of being out of control kept her tossing and turning.
