The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife
Isla Bennett was nothing short of extraordinary—beautiful, brilliant, and a talented doctor. But she lived in the shadow of her glamorous twin sister, Liana, unloved by the very family she spent her whole life trying to please.
When their father’s company collapses, Isla becomes more than invisible—she becomes a bargaining chip. Her fate is sealed the moment she is forced to marry Alistair Montgomery, the cold and merciless billionaire… and Liana’s former lover.
After Alistair wakes from his coma, everything spirals out of control. Liana returns to reclaim him, and Isla is thrust into a dangerous war between love, obsession, and old betrayals.
But nothing could prepare her for the truth of who she really is—and the secret powerful enough to shatter everything she’s ever known.
And when Alistair discovers that truth…
will his love be enough to save them both?
Or will it destroy her in the end?

Chapter: CHAPTER 155 — The One Behind It~ ALISTAIR ~My expression dimmed slightly as I pulled back just enough to look down at her properly.“I called you five times. Why didn’t you answer them?” I asked, my voice a little lower compared to earlier.Isla blinked at me, looking genuinely confused by the question. Then, realization slowly crossed her face.“Oh.” She glanced briefly toward the doorway before looking back at me again. “My phone was in the sitting room the whole time.”She lifted a hand awkwardly to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear. “It was Anna who told me my phone kept ringing nonstop.”Then she looked back up at me, her expression softening faintly. “I was about to call you back.”So she wasn’t ignoring me on purpose. Somehow, that fact alone unusually improved my mood. Though my jaw tensed subtly after that. Lately, I had already begun noticing how strangely I was acting whenever it involved her. A single unanswered call from Isla was enough to ruin my peace of mind. Seeing those articles earlier had in

Chapter: CHAPTER 154 — Five Missed Calls~ ALISTAIR ~The moment the jet landed back in New York, we headed straight toward the waiting car outside the private airport.The weather was gloomy again. Dark clouds stretched heavily above the city while a cold wind brushed against the windows as the vehicle sped down the highway. I leaned back against the seat, exhaustion pressing faintly behind my eyes after the trip to Baltimore. But my mind was nowhere near resting. Everything Mrs. Morris had told me earlier kept replaying inside my head. Allison Reed was Professor Morris’s favored student. Not my mother. The inconsistency sat unpleasantly in my chest. Something about this entire situation wasn’t aligning properly anymore. And the more truths I uncovered, the less stable the foundation beneath everything became.I pressed my fingers between my brows and closed my eyes for a second to ease the faint throb in my head. Evan, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly cleared his throat carefully.“Sir.”I lifted my eyes in his

Chapter: CHAPTER 153 — Not Good Enough~ ISLA ~When I woke up the next morning, the space beside me was already empty.The curtains had been slightly pulled open, allowing soft morning light to spill quietly inside the bedroom. I remained lying there for a few seconds, staring at the ceiling while trying to shake off the heaviness in my chest from yesterday.Alistair had probably left early.The thought didn’t surprise me anymore. He had been so busy these past few days, constantly dealing with one thing after another. Between his company, his mother, and whatever investigation he was secretly handling, it felt like his mind barely had room to rest.I slowly sat up and got ready before heading downstairs.The mansion was quieter as usual. Maybe Alistair's decision was right. Because if we were living together under the same roof with his mother, there would be no peace in this house for sure. But even with the current situation we have, I was still hoping that the bond between Alistair and his Mom would be restored.The m

Chapter: CHAPTER 152 — A Lie~ ALISTAIR ~The person standing behind the door wasn’t the one I expected.She looked to be in her thirties, dressed neatly in a beige corporate suit, appearing smart and composed. Her hair was tied back cleanly, and there was a polite smile on her face as she looked at us.My brows drew tight. I turned my eyes toward Evan sharply. One look was enough for him to understand exactly what I meant.Evan straightened subtly before addressing the woman politely.“Good morning, Miss,” he returned the greeting professionally. “We’re looking for Professor George Morris. Does he live here?”The woman’s smile faltered very slightly. Not enough for most people to notice. But I did. Before she could answer, another voice echoed faintly from somewhere inside the house.“Lindsay, darling? Who is it?”The woman glanced over her shoulder immediately.“Mom,” she called back softly. “There are visitors here looking for Dad.”A few seconds later, another figure slowly came into view. An elderly woman ap

Chapter: CHAPTER 151 — I'm Not Frustrated Because Of You~ ISLA ~The bedroom had grown quiet after everything that happened downstairs.Outside, the rain still hadn’t stopped. Water streamed endlessly against the glass while the gray evening sky slowly darkened over the city.I sat curled on the plush sofa near the windows, my hands resting loosely around the untouched cup of tea Anna had prepared earlier. The warmth from it had long disappeared, yet my thoughts remained tangled in the same place.Alistair said he would fix it.Just remembering those words made my chest tighten softly. I already knew what kind of man he was. Once he made a decision, nobody could easily change his mind—not even his own mother. And somehow, that thought made me feel both relieved and uneasy at the same time.A soft sound came from the doorway. I looked up immediately.Alistair stepped inside the bedroom while loosening the tie around his neck with one hand. His expression still carried the exhaustion from earlier, though the sharpness in his eyes eased sligh

Chapter: CHAPTER 150 – His Final Decision~ ALISTAIR ~Evan informed me the moment my mother insisted on returning to Tribeca Heights after her discharge.The second I heard it, uneasiness settled heavily inside me. I already knew this wouldn’t end well. And I was right. Because as I stepped onto the second-floor living area, I saw my mother’s hand strike across Isla’s face. It was too late for me to stop her. The sound had already echoed sharply through the room.Isla staggered slightly from the force, one hand instinctively lifting toward her cheek while shock remained written all over her face. But when I saw the red mark slowly appearing against her skin, my blood boiled, and a dark rage snapped inside my chest.“Who gave you the right to hurt my wife?!” I growled, my voice slicing through the silence hard enough to freeze everyone in place.My mother turned toward me first. The anger on her face faltered instantly the second our eyes met.“Ali—” she uttered softly.But I didn't give her a shred of attention. I walked pas

Fated to the Cold and Ruthless CEO
Alexander Harris has always been cold and indifferent—a ruthless CEO who values power over love. Haunted by a dark past and unable to bear a woman’s touch, he vowed never to fall for anyone.
Until he met Everette Carson.
From the moment their paths crossed, Everette challenged everything he believed in. When his grandmother threatened to give 15% of the company’s shares to his estranged father unless he marries, Alexander saw an opportunity. Everette’s fire, defiance, and beauty made her the perfect pawn for a marriage of convenience. Silencing his grandmother and putting Everette in her place? It was supposed to be the perfect plan.
But nothing about her was ever simple.
The more time he spent with her, the harder it became to keep his walls up. Everette’s warmth began to melt the ice around his heart—awakening memories of a mysterious girl from his past—the only soul who had ever touched his own. When the truth of their first meeting comes to light, Alexander realizes their bond was never coincidence. It was fate.
Just as love begins to take root, long-buried secrets resurface. Dangerous enemies rise. And betrayal strikes from within.
When Everette finally walked away to protect them both, Alexander broke—his desperation unraveling as he threatened to end his life.
“Evie… if you walk away today, you will never have the chance to see me again in this life.”
But she didn’t stop walking.
The gunshot echoed across the runway.
And nothing was ever the same again.
Now, with everything on the line, fate brings them back together one last time. Will love be enough to heal what was broken, or are they destined to fall apart… all over again?

Chapter: Chapter 180- A New Beginning Victor's burial was held on a quiet hill just outside the city. The entire Harris family was present. Though he had walked a dark path, Victor was still Alex and Jaxon’s half-brother—and his memory was honored with quiet reverence.Eve stood beside Alex as they lowered the casket into the earth. She felt his hand grip hers tightly, as if anchoring himself to the present while mourning the past. There were no words spoken, just the soft sound of the wind and the occasional sniffle.Old Lady Margaret laid a white rose atop the grave. “May peace find you,” she whispered.A week later after Victor's burial, Alex made a decision that sent waves across York State—he stepped down from his role as CEO of Galaxy Empire Group. The news shocked shareholders and the entire business world. Jaxon, initially resistant, eventually took over the throne his twin brother had carried for so long.“I’ll never fill your shoes,” Jaxon said.“You’re not meant to,” Alex replied with a quiet ease. “You’ll d

The ship was completely blown apart.And Eve watched how it blasted in horror. Her knees gave out witnessing as the ship exploded beyond recognition.She clutched her stomach as tears spilled down her cheeks.Her husband was still there! And so was Jaxon and John.“No… Alex!” she screamed—but her voice was lost in the roar.Her head spun—and everything went dark. She couldn't take the pressure anymore.She fainted, falling limp in Earl’s arms.___Eve woke up in an all-white surrounding, and the smell of disinfectant was the first thing that greeted her. Then came the soft beeping of a heart monitor—and she immediately guessed she was in the hospital.Her eyes were still closed—groggy—but she clearly remembered the explosion of the ship last night.And Alex…Her heart

Chapter: Chapter 178- One Last Breath Eve slowly opened her eyes—only to find herself in a dark room. Her head was still fuzzy from the residue of the medicine she had inhaled yesterday.The last thing she remembered, she was having a meal in her suite when she heard someone knocking outside. And when she opened the door, she was knocked out.Her body still ached from her struggle to break free. When her mind finally cleared, her hands immediately flew to her belly.Her child!Fortunately, she didn’t feel anything wrong inside or any pain in her lower abdomen. Her baby was safe.She tried to sit up and scanned her eyes around the whole area—hoping to find some light. But there was nothing out there, only endless darkness.She slowly stood up and walked through the darkness like someone blind, until her hands found a cold metal wall.Where was she?A sudden, bone-chilling coldness crept into her heart. She could hear the faint sound of a whirring engine and the waves of the ocean. If she wasn’t mistaken, she was on a ship.

Chapter: Chapter 177- No One Leaves Alive The air blowing at Blackwater Pier was biting and cold—carrying the strong smell of saltwater.Alex stood there alone, the wind brushing past him as waves hit the docks with steady rhythm. His eyes locked on the dark sea ahead.Somewhere out there, Eve was waiting.Somewhere on a ship that shouldn’t even be there, boarded by the last person he ever wanted to see again—Caroline.Earlier that day, everything had already moved into motion. Daniel had successfully breached their surveillance. The system wasn’t easy to crack, but he got in and found the exact position of the ship. It was a disguised cargo vessel, voyaging back to Finnland. It looked ordinary from a distance, but Daniel’s intel told a different story.It was one of Victor's cargo ships that carried their illegal shipments back and forth. In Daniel's estimation, there must be thirty armed men patrolling it day and night, aside from the ship's crew.Caroline wasn’t playing games this time. She had been plotting this for a whi

The device pressed against his ear nearly cracked from the pressure.“Caroline…” he said firmly through clenched teeth.A soft, mocking laugh filled the line.“I’m glad you still remember me, my dear stepson.”Alex signaled to Daniel to trace the call, but Caroline was a step ahead.“Don’t bother tracking this call. Even if you had the top hacker in the world, you still wouldn’t find my location,” she said with dripping sarcasm.Alex nearly exploded.“Caroline… if you so much as touch a strand of Evie’s hair, I swear I’ll kill you. This time, I’ll make sure you burn to ashes.”Caroline laughed again—crisp, cruel, and echoing through the line.“Oh Alex, do you think I’m scared of your little threat?” She laughed once more.“I’ve been through hell. I’m not afraid to die. But how about you? Are you ready to exchange your life for the woman you love?”It was an ultimatum.Alex’s fists cracked from how

When Victor's men’s bodies were already taken away, Alex also followed out of the atrium with Daniel flanking his side.Rupert and John were already outside and talking to the police. When John spotted him, he immediately relayed that the rest of the men had already been dispatched. Without wasting a moment, he gave a single command—short, sharp, and urgent.“Search the Phoenix Hotel. Every floor, every locked room, every goddamn corner. Eve was held there. He said it himself.”John immediately followed and took the lead without another word, while Daniel stayed b

Aurora Scott’s life has never been fair. Born into poverty, burdened by a sick mother she couldn’t save, and cursed with a gambler father who saw her as nothing more than collateral. But her true nightmare begins when he sells her–to a wealthy old man who strips her of her last shred of freedom.

Chapter: CHAPTER 70- The Night He Finally BrokeGrayson didn’t remember how he ended up at Dylan’s bar.What he only remembered was him slamming the door behind him when he left Aurora's room at the hospital. Her trembling voice… eyes swollen from crying… And her final words sliced through him like a thorned leash.‘Whatever we had… it’s over. Completely.’Those words chased him like a shadow he couldn’t outrun.Now he sat slumped over the velvet couch of their private lounge, shoulders heavy, breath uneven. His usually sharp, cold gaze was gone—replaced by something hollow and broken.Dylan watched him quietly from across the table, a deep frown pulling at his brows. He had seen Grayson angry, ruthless, violent… but never like this.“Brother,” Dylan said carefully, sliding him another glass. “Slow down. You’re going to knock yourself out at this rate.”Grayson didn’t even look up. He lifted the glass with a shaking hand and swallowed it in one go.“I want to forget,” he muttered, voice low and hoarse. “Just for tonight.”“Forget w

His gaze fell on her worn-down, pale appearance as she sat weakly on the bed.Then his sharp gaze shifted back to Natalie, his expression turning dim.The moment of silence stretched on.But Natalie broke it with her scornful scoff.“Oh, great. Now it's the young master of the Collins family,” she smirked, then turned back to Aurora. "You know what Aurora, I really admire how you easily seduce men.”Julian’s expression turned cold as he looked over Natalie.“I would’ve asked if I'm exactly facing the real Ms. Smith, as the person I'm talking right now is completely the opposite,” Julian

Chapter: Chapter 68- Grief and Poison Morning didn’t arrive in golden streaks or gentle warmth.It came with sterile light seeping through half-closed blinds, bathing Aurora’s skin and creating a halo.Her body felt anchored to the bed—not by pain or sedation, but by something heavier, like her soul was still trying to return to her.Her hand was warm.That’s what she noticed first.When her eyes finally opened, the first thing she saw was Grayson.He looked like he hadn’t moved from his seat in a long time.He sat by her bedside with his fingers still wrapped around hers, head slightly bowed, while his other hand rested on his knee. He looked nothing like the Grayson Moore the world knew—the cold, untouchable billionaire with steel in his veins.No, the man beside her looked... wrecked.His jaw was unshaven. His eyes were shadowed and swollen from lack of sleep. His suit was wrinkled, his tie loosened, and his shoulders were hunched like the weight of the world had finally become too much to bear.He had been there. The

Chapter: Chapter 67 – Wrath of a Broken ManGrayson stormed down the hospital hallway like a king of execution—ready to punish the one who dared to cross him. His fists were clenched the entire time, jaw firmly locked, and his entire body was burning with one single need—To see the woman who had pushed the timid Aurora over the edge.The moment he reached the door to Natalie’s private suite, he didn’t hesitate or even bother to knock. He shoved it open so hard that the hinges groaned sharply.Natalie sat on the bed with her legs dangling over the edge, scrolling through her phone as if nothing had happened.As if the blood staining the halls of his life didn’t matter.She looked up, startled by the harsh sound. But her eyes lit up as she quickly set her phone aside and rose.“Grayson,” she called out, soft and trembling—putting on the same pitiful expression she always used when trying to win him over. “You came to see me..”She took a step forward, reaching out as if throwing herself into his arms like she always did.But she

Chapter: Chapter 66- The Day He Almost Lost Her A phone call came just as Grayson was about to shut everything off. He had been standing by the window of his office for what felt like hours, lost in thought, and trying to steady the war inside his chest.When his phone buzzed again, he didn’t bother checking the screen at first. He was ready to silence it altogether.But the name that flashed on the screen made him curious.The call was from Edith.He answered it subconsciously. “What’s the matter?”Edith's voice cracked on the other end. Shaking and barely coherent.“Sir—it’s Aurora. She fell… down the staircase. There was a fight. I—she’s unconscious. There’s so much blood… I don’t know if she’s—”Grayson didn’t hear the rest. His heart had stopped beating the second Edith said Aurora's name.He didn’t ask further questions. Didn’t even have time to grab his coat. He left the office in a blur, and hurried himself to the underground parking.A dreadful thought flashed through his mind.No.. Not her.The ride to the hospital was a

Chapter: Chapter 65- The Confrontation That Ended In Blood The silence in the estate was deceptive.Aurora could feel the weight of it pressing down on her as she wandered the hallway near the east wing, where sunlight slanted softly through the open space of the big terrace—painting everything in a golden hue that felt too gentle for what was coming.She hadn’t eaten anything since morning. Her thoughts were too tangled to allow her appetite room.Natalie’s return had shaken her more than she wanted to admit. And though Grayson had barely said a word to her since, his silence was a language she’d come to understand. But last night—the things he said…Her fingers curled over the edge of the railings of the balcony, knuckles turning pale. She couldn’t pretend those moments didn’t happen. And yet this morning, he’d walked Natalie back to her room like nothing had changed.Aurora bit down hard on her lip.She didn’t want to be angry. But she was.She didn’t want to feel jealous. But she did.And she hated that all of this was making her fall f
