Accidentally Married to the Billionaire (Whirlwind Romance Series) Read Online Free Page A

surprise you,
Kira?”
    “I don’t know. I just think it’s
so important to stop and smell the roses once in a while.”
    “Oh, really?” he mocked her.
    “Yes, really.” She cocked a brow.
    “Well, are you planning on
changing me during our marriage?”
    “Maybe. I mean, we’re in Vegas. I
really want to go to more places and see more sites. I think it would be fun.
You can’t be all work and no play.”
    “Too dull for you, is it?”
    She grinned. Kira felt good that
she was able to give him something that money couldn’t buy. She wanted to live
it up a little and he really needed to relax for a while. Vegas was the perfect
place to do that.
    “Very well. After we give our
proposal tomorrow at the board meeting, I’ll arrange for a few tours. How does
that sound?”
    “Awesome!”
    “You know a lot about me,” Alessandro
commented after the waiter came with their entrees. “Tell me about yourself.”
    “Oh, well, there isn’t much more
than I’ve told you actually.”
    “Now, I don’t believe that for a
second.”
    “You’re the one with so many
stories. I mean, it’s no secret that you were adopted. Have you ever tried to
contact your…um biological mother?”
    “No.”
    “No?”
    “She obviously didn’t want to be
contacted, so I didn’t bother. The mother who raised me did a great job of it.”
    “Aren’t you the least bit
curious? I mean you could have biological brothers and sisters that you don’t
know about.”
    “I’m sure they’re getting along
just fine if that’s the case.”
    Kira felt a pang of
disappointment for him. Of course, she’d never known what it was like to be
given up for adoption. “I’m sure it was a difficult decision for your mother.
You’re a wonderful person and I’m sure she would be proud of you.”
     
    Alessandro felt something he’d
never felt before speaking with Kira. She was all heart and she struck a chord
within him. She was priceless. He actually felt relaxed around her.
    “You’re good for my ego, Kira. I
hope you continue to be the good person you are inside.” Alessandro took his
glass of wine and bought it to his lips before continuing with his dinner. He
couldn’t believe he was going to annul his marriage to her once the deal goes
through—if it did go through.
    Most women he’d dated weren’t
really interested in him as a person. They were interested in him as a tycoon,
a wealthy businessman who money was no object at all. Kira seemed to care more
about living life to the fullest, being close with family and doing good things
in the world to help others. She really was something else.
    “I think you’re a good man, too,
Alessandro.”
     
    5.
     
    The next day, Kira sat for two
intense hours in the boardroom while Alessandro presented his complete business
plan to the panel.
    She felt a deep sense of pride
while she sat there watching him give his proposal of turning the Orlando
property into a world-renowned children’s hospital. It was an ambitious goal
but a solid plan. He’d put a lot of work into it.
    He highlighted his plans to open
up the 342-bed facility which would come complete with a 220-seat state-of-the-art
movie theatre to provide an escape for children receiving treatment and their
families who would want to see the latest blockbuster movie without having to
go to a cinema. The theatre would screen the latest movie releases just like
any other cinema—only family-friendly movies.
    What a remarkable idea!
    Kira wished that Kandy could have
experienced that when she’d spent her last days in the hospital unable to go
outside because she was too ill.
    Alessandro explained that while
he was visiting another children’s hospital, he saw some of the children
watching DVDs on a small player in their room and thought it would be a great
idea to have all the fun that came with a wide-screen theatre right there on
the hospital premise. This way, the patients could even sit with their nurse,
if need be, and enjoy
