THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE
Warning. 21+
Emely married Alexander Winchester—the billionaire who chose her not out of love, but because a family arrangement demanded it. For an entire year, she tried to build a warm home and a future for them, yet all she ever received was his icy indifference and a gaze that reminded her she would never be enough.
When Emely failed to get pregnant, Alexander made a devastating choice: he hired another woman to carry his male heir. Emely agreed, clinging to the hope that saving their marriage was still possible… even if their marriage had never been built on love to begin with.
But fate had plans neither of them could control.
The surrogate became pregnant and so did Emely. When the surrogate delivered a son while Emely gave birth to a daughter, her status in the Winchester family collapsed instantly. Overnight, she became the unwanted wife, the mother who didn’t matter, the woman who had failed to produce the heir they valued above all else.
Everyone expected her to break. Instead… Emely rose.
She returned to work, rebuilt herself piece by piece, and shone brighter than ever—catching the eye of the one man no one saw coming: Steven Hale, Alexander’s most ruthless business rival.
A man who saw Emely’s worth from the very beginning. A man who was willing to fight for her.
And just when Alexander finally realized that the woman he’d neglected was the only one he could never live without—Emely was no longer standing alone.
Now only one question remains:
Will Emely return to the man who shattered her into pieces… or choose the one who was ready to protect her from the very start?

Chapter: CHAPTER 163: Hiding in the DarkALEXANDERThe stench clung to me sharp, suffocating, impossible to ignore.I leaned against the cold concrete beneath the bridge, my jaw set tight. Damp air mixed with the reek of garbage and the murky river nearby, making every breath feel heavier than the last. This was the most disgusting place I’d ever been… and, unfortunately, I had no choice but to endure it.Lorian and I had been hiding here for hours. I glanced upward. The light that had once filtered in was fading now, shadows stretching longer, slowly swallowed by the creeping dark. At least that meant we’d made it this far.Beside me, Lorian sat in an awkward position. Her twisted ankle had stiffened, and every now and then her breath hitched subtle, but enough to betray the pain she was still fighting.“You still alive, Lorian?” I asked flatly, not even looking at her.She let out a faint scoff. “Unfortunately, yes.”A slight smirk tugged at my lips. At least she hadn’t died on me here.Silence settled again, broken only b

Chapter: CHAPTER 162: Our First KissEMELY“You’re not joking, are you, Rian?”“I’m sorry, ma’am. This isn’t something to joke about.” His tone was steady, grave. “The police just informed me that Mr. Alexander has escaped.”It felt like something heavy slammed straight into my chest. I went still, unable to respond. My mind stalled, as if refusing to process what I’d just heard.“Escaped…?” I repeated softly, almost under my breath. My hand curled slowly at my side—cold, trembling. “But… wasn’t he almost caught?” My voice wavered. “How did he get away again?”Rian drew a short breath, his expression unchanged. “There was a chase at the airport. Things got chaotic… and he took advantage of that to flee. The police also said he escaped with a woman.”I shook my head slowly, not believing it—or maybe just not wanting to. “With a woman? Could it be… Lorian?”“It’s possible, ma’am. The police are still investigating.”I let out a weary breath. My head throbbed as everything pressed in at once. After everything that had happe

Chapter: CHAPTER 161: Escape or FallALEXANDER“Don’t move!”The command slammed into us from behind—sharp, absolute. For a split second, everything slowed. People around us began to turn. Some stepped back immediately, others froze where they stood. The once-busy airport shifted in an instant, tension rippling through the air like a live wire.I didn’t move. My eyes stayed fixed ahead, calculating—distance to the side, position of the barriers, the gaps between the crowd.One chance.My hand shot out, grabbing Lorian’s wrist. “Run.”I didn’t wait for a response. I yanked her hard to the side, crashing through the queue barrier. The metal rails clattered loudly as they fell, drawing startled cries from the people nearby.“Stop! Police!”Heavy footsteps thundered behind us. I didn’t look back. My body moved on instinct, cutting through the crowd. Shoulders collided as I shoved past people without a second thought. My suitcase nearly slipped from my grip, but I dragged it along anyway.“Alex!” Lorian’s voice broke behind m

Chapter: CHAPTER 160: No Way OutALEXANDERThe sound of something shattering exploded through the room.“Crash!”The glass slammed hard against the wall before dropping to the floor in jagged pieces. My breath came fast, uneven, my chest rising and falling out of rhythm. My hand was still raised, fingers curled into a tight fist until my knuckles turned white.“Damn it…”I turned, fixing my gaze on the man standing a few steps in front of me. His face had gone pale, his body rigid like even breathing required careful thought.“You said… the car was hit,” I said quietly. Too quietly. The softness only made it more terrifying. “You said… everything was taken care of.”He swallowed. “Y-Yes, sir… it’s true. Mr. Steven’s car was hit at high speed. The impact—”“Then why is he still alive?!”My shout cut him off instantly. The force of it echoed through the room, making him flinch back on reflex. Silence followed. Only my heavy breathing filled the space.“Answer me,” I continued, my voice lower now—but far more dangerous.

Chapter: CHAPTER 159: A Moment Before the StormEMELY“Steven…” My voice broke as I wrapped my arms around him.Everything I’d been holding back finally collapsed. My tears came all at once—deeper, freer. I clung to him tightly, as if I needed to make sure he was real… that he was truly back, not just some fragile dream that would vanish the moment I woke up.“Oh my God… you’re really awake…” I whispered between sobs. “Thank you… for finally hearing me.”My chest felt unbearably full relief, fear, gratitude all tangled together in ways I couldn’t even begin to explain. I didn’t care who else was in the room. All I cared about was Steven. I held him tighter.“Don’t ever do this again… don’t ever scare me like this again…” My voice trembled. “Do you hear me?”But a few seconds later—Something felt off. Steven’s body tensed slightly. His breathing shifted. And then, faintly, I heard a strained sound.“Uh… i-it hurts…”I froze instantly. My grip loosened on reflex as I pulled back, panic flashing across my face.“Steven?” I called qui

Chapter: CHAPTER 158: The Voice That Brought Me BackSTEVENI don’t remember what happened after my car was hit. All I know is that the moment the impact came… everything went dark. Not the kind of darkness you get when you close your eyes. No this was different. Deeper. Quieter. As if the entire world had been erased, leaving behind an endless void.There was no light. No sound. Not even pain. Strange… because my body should have been shattered. But here there was nothing.I didn’t even know if I still had a body. I couldn’t feel my hands, my legs, not even my breath. There was only a faint awareness, drifting somewhere in between like something that hadn’t fully disappeared, but didn’t quite exist either.And the strangest part?I wasn’t afraid. It was as if I could accept this state just like that. As if stopping here… wasn’t wrong. But slowly, within that silence, something began to surface. At first, it was faint. Then clearer. I could hear it someone crying. And among those voices, one stood out the most.Emely.At first, I wanted

Chapter: CHAPTER 57But Cedric didn’t care—not even a little. He only grew more savage, thrusting into her again and again like a massive hammer pounding without mercy. Each brutal impact jolted Renata’s body violently, her breasts bouncing painfully with the force. He sank his teeth deep into her neck, sharp and unrelenting, leaving angry red marks that would bloom into dark bruises by morning. His left hand squeezed her breast with cruel brutality, fingers pinching her nipple so hard she screamed louder, the pain shooting straight through her like a blade to the bone.“This is your punishment, Ren,” he hissed against her ear, his breath hot and heavy, thick with hellish heat. “You like it rough, don’t you? Just like you did with my father. You’re nothing but a cheap slut who craves a big cock, aren’t you?”Renata sobbed without end, tears soaking the crumpled pillow until it was drenched. Her body tried weakly to resist, hips twisting away on instinct, but Cedric was too strong, too merciless. With a r

Chapter: CHAPTER 56Her legs unsteady, Renata felt like a broken doll being dragged mercilessly by Cedric. The cold night air bit into her skin as they stepped out of the apartment building, sharp enough to pierce bone, but it was nothing compared to the icy dread that had frozen her heart solid. She didn’t dare scream—the thought of Selly hearing, of dragging her best friend deeper into this nightmare, sealed her lips shut. Cedric’s grip on her wrist felt like a burning iron shackle: no visible bruises, but it seared straight into her soul, making every second feel like eternal torment. She tried tugging her hand away, gently at first, but he only tightened his hold, his dark eyes flashing a silent, chilling warning that made her tremble.Cedric’s car—a sleek black sedan that still carried the sharp scent of new leather—waited in the dimly lit, damp underground garage. The stench of engine oil and exhaust fumes stung Renata’s nose until she thought she might be sick, but fear clamped everything down. He

Chapter: CHAPTER 55That morning, the campus café they usually went to felt colder than usual. Not because of the air conditioning, but because of the uneasy tension hanging thick in the air. Selly sat at a corner table by the window, her back straight but her shoulders tight, one hand wrapped around a cup of coffee that had long since lost its warmth. She had deliberately chosen a quieter spot—far enough from the crowd, yet still within view of others.For safety.So there would be witnesses if Cedric decided to lose control.Cedric arrived right on time, as always. He looked worn down, his eyes red and sunken, as if he hadn’t slept at all the night before. He took the seat across from Selly and offered the familiar faint smile that used to melt her heart every time. But now she knew better—that smile was hollow, stripped of sincerity.“Hey, Sel,” he greeted softly, reaching out as if to take her hand across the table. “Are you okay? I was really worried last night when you just walked away like that.”

Chapter: CHAPTER 54That morning, Selly couldn’t wait any longer.She woke with red, swollen eyes from lack of sleep. Her body was exhausted, but her resolve was firm. After what had happened the night before—the lipstick stain on Cedric’s shirt, the familiar scent of Renata’s perfume clinging to him, and the lies that had been far too obvious—Selly knew she needed the truth. And she needed it directly from Renata.She didn’t text. She didn’t call.She showered quickly, changed her clothes, grabbed her bag, and ordered a ride to Renata’s apartment. It was barely eight in the morning, but Selly didn’t care.When she reached Renata’s door, Selly knocked softly but firmly. No answer.She knocked again, louder this time.“Ren… I know you’re inside. Open the door. We need to talk.”A few seconds later, the door opened slowly.Renata stood there with a face drained of color, her eyes badly swollen, her hair a mess. She was still wearing the same loose clothes as yesterday. The marks on her neck were even clear

Chapter: CHAPTER 53Selly sat in the passenger seat of Cedric’s car, her hands folded neatly in her lap, her eyes fixed on the dark road stretching ahead. The car rolled slowly toward their favorite twenty-four-hour café, but something had shifted since the last red light. The air between them felt heavier, as if an invisible wall had suddenly risen, quietly but unmistakably, dividing the space they once shared so easily.The smear of red lipstick on Cedric’s shirt collar lingered in Selly’s mind. Not her shade. Not a color Cedric ever wore when he met Aunt Helena or his mother. And that perfume—too familiar, far too similar to the one Renata had been wearing lately. Selly remembered it clearly. Renata had just bought a new bottle last week, a sweet but sharp scent she’d said made her feel confident.Selly drew a slow breath, trying to steady herself. But suspicion had already taken root, a small spark beginning to grow, quietly scorching every tender memory she had with Cedric.Cedric turned the radio o

Chapter: CHAPTER 52That night, true to his word, Dominic showed up at Renata’s apartment again. But what stopped him dead in his tracks wasn’t the sight of her opening the door—it was the faint, unmistakable sound of a woman crying softly behind the bathroom door. He knew exactly who it was. Who else could it be but Renata?She stood there in the doorway, face pale, eyes swollen and red, wearing an oversized shirt that hung loosely on her frame. The moment she saw him, she reached back and quickly pulled the bathroom door shut behind her, as if trying to hide something. Dominic didn’t speak right away. He just looked at her for a long moment, his chest tightening at how fragile she seemed—the girl who had been unraveling his heart for far too long.“Ren,” he said softly, voice low and thick with worry. He stepped inside and closed the apartment door carefully behind him. “I heard you crying.”Renata dropped her gaze, fists clenched at her sides, shoulders still trembling. “I’m… I’m fine, Daddy,” she lie
