My Accidental Husband is a Billionaire?

After they finished speaking, Keira and Lewis exchanged a glance, then broke into laughter.

Keira had never experienced a fiery, passionate love. Her relationship with Lewis had always been one of measured calm, even back in Oceanion, when they had nearly divorced. Both of them had approached their problems with careful consideration.

But these seven days apart had been different. Especially during her time at the South family estate, where she was completely cut off—no phone, no computer—her longing for Lewis had suddenly become her only anchor.

Keira smiled and took out the watch she had bought.

Lewis blinked in surprise before pulling out a watch of his own.

They had clearly shopped on separate cruise ships, yet somehow ended up at the same store, buying the same model—one for men and one for women.

As Keira stared in shock at their perfectly matched choices, Erin's head popped into view. "Oh my God, are you two serious? This is straight-up couple goals! Don't tell me you planned this."

Keira slid the watch onto Lewis's wrist, then looked over at Erin. "We didn't."

Still chatting, the group began walking toward the rooms.

Matthew had extended his hand, intending to say goodbye to Keira, but she didn't even notice. Left standing there, he sighed, shook his head in resignation, and walked away.

His duty was simply to protect her. When Keira had no pressing needs, he would just be another doctor back at the hospital, saving lives and treating patients.

Keira, of course, had seen Matthew leave. But she had no intention of sending him off.

Matthew knew too much about the South family, yet he had never once warned her about anything while she was there. That alone was enough to make Keira wary of him.

Once they entered the room, Erin wasted no time speaking up. "Keira, you didn't stir up any trouble at the South family estate, did you?"

Without waiting for an answer, she continued, "Actually, you probably didn't. Otherwise, there's no way you'd be back in one piece. I was really worried you'd do something crazy, like barge in to save your mom. Good thing you kept your head cool."

Before Keira could respond, Lewis suddenly spoke. "Can we have the room to ourselves for a bit?"

Erin blinked. "Huh?"

That's when she realized she'd followed the two of them straight into their bedroom.

"Oh, come on," Erin grumbled, pouting. "What could you possibly need to talk about that you can't say in front of me?"

Lewis's voice was calm, but firm. "We're going to discuss something… inappropriate for children."

Erin immediately covered her eyes. "Ugh, you two! Have you no shame? Don't tell me you're about to jump each other after just seven days apart!"

Lewis turned and gave her a frosty stare.

Erin, who had feared nothing and no one before—except Keira—suddenly felt a pang of guilt under Lewis's steady gaze. She cleared her throat awkwardly. "Fine, fine, I'll leave. Enjoy your 'grown-up' talk."

And with that, she exited the room.

Lewis walked over and locked the door.

Keira tilted her head at him. "What did you do to her? Erin actually listened to you for once."

Lewis didn't answer right away. Instead, he wrapped an arm around her waist and guided her to the sofa. Before she could say another word, he leaned down and kissed her fiercely.

The intensity of the kiss left Keira's mind spinning. She couldn't think of anything except responding to him.

Two hours later, they lay together on the bed.

Keira rested in Lewis's arms, her head against his chest, listening to the steady rhythm of his heartbeat. She smiled softly and asked, "What's gotten into you?"

Lewis gazed down at her, his expression serious. "I feel like I'm in danger of losing you."

During his time at the South estate, he'd seen firsthand how the South women lived. Each of them had a dozen or more male companions—men who could adapt to any situation, whether they needed to be charming, assertive, or playful. Every single one of them was unique. There were tough guys, soft boys, bad boys, rugged types…

For the first time, Lewis felt truly threatened.

If Keira ever returned to the South family, would she fall for someone else?

He had even seen Erin's mother, who, despite having her first husband, couldn't bring herself to dismiss her other partners. The competition among her men was fierce.

Lewis buried his face in Keira's hair and whispered, "Keira, you have to win."

If she lost, she'd become nothing more than a tool for breeding, trapped in the same life as Erin's mother, surrounded by beautiful men and drowning in meaningless indulgence.

Keira replied softly, "I will."

They both raised their wrists, admiring the matching watches they wore. Then Keira sat up abruptly. "Alright, time to get to work."

Lewis arched an eyebrow. "Weren't we just working? You want more?"

Keira froze, incredulous. "Who taught you to crack dirty jokes like that?"

She shoved him playfully. "I mean the coordinates. We need to figure out exactly where the South family estate is and come up with a plan to get there…"

While Jessica South had said a lot of nonsense, the key detail about that vagrant had given Keira an idea.

If she couldn't act openly as Keera, she'd have to find another way—by turning herself into a South family vagrant.
