Page 5 of I Accidentally Married A Sheikh

"Hang in there, Lys!"

My dazed gaze flies back to the stranger, but his expression remains impassive.

I don't understand.

My mom loved reading Alice's Adventures in Wonderland to me when I was a kid. I was named after her, actually, and Mom used to say that it was her greatest wish that my life would be just as crazy wonderful as Alice's.

I used to wish that, too.

Until reality proved otherwise, and all I've ever wanted since then was safety and predictability—-

"I've got it," I hear Rebecca cry out.

And that's why I just don't get how I ended up in bed with a stranger.

Is this really not a dream?

The door flies open—-

Please let this be a dream!

And the next thing I know, Rebecca is rushing inside the room before halting in her tracks with a cry.

"Oh God, Alysse! What have you done?"

And Jamieson is right behind her.

"What the fuck—-"

My boyfriend charges forward.

"Not another step."

And all of usfreezethe moment we see the stranger holding a gun.

Chapter Two

I THINK I'M IN SHOCK.

Or maybe this is delayed shock kicking in since I did waste a couple of minutes thinking I was dreaming.

"You."

I feel like laughing again at howcalmhe sounds.

He doesn't even seem to care he's just as naked as I am.

Doesn't even seem to notice the way Jamieson is shooting daggers in his direction.

He's just so, socalm...even as he turns to Rebecca and casually trains his gun at her.

"Is this your room?"

"Y-Yes," Rebecca stammer out.

"And have you any idea how I ended up here?"

"I d-don't know. But maybeshedoes?" Rebecca looks at me helplessly. "You were so drunk last night."
