The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins

The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins

A poignant and emotional tale about Mia, a woman trapped in a loveless marriage that was built on a business arrangement rather than affection. Married to Kyle Branson, a successful and detached businessman, Mia's life is an unacknowledged shadow to his true love—her younger stepsister, Taylor. When Mia unexpectedly discovers she is pregnant with twins, the news shakes her world, especially since her marriage contract forbids pregnancy. As Mia grapples with the reality of carrying Kyle's children, she faces not only the crushing weight of their cold, contractual relationship but also the sting of betrayal as Kyle continues his affair with Taylor. Mia’s internal battle intensifies as she navigates the emotional turmoil of being invisible to the man she once loved and the looming secret of her pregnancy.

Chapter: Chapter 317 Everything's complicated with grown-ups
Mia's POVI called Scarlett at eight in the morning because I did not sleep last night. The phone rang twice before her groggy voice answered."Jesus, Mia. What time is it?""Thomas knew." The words came out flat. Empty. "He's known Kyle was there this whole time."A pause. The sound of rustling sheets."Shit," Scarlett said. "Shit, shit, shit.""And you don't sound surprised."Another pause. Longer this time."Mia—""You knew too.""Not exactly. I...suspected."I was sitting on my kitchen floor. The tiles were cold against my legs. Gas lay beside me."How long?" I asked."How long what?""How long have you suspected?"Scarlett sighed. The sound carried through the phone like smoke. "Remember that fight Morton and I had? The big one, before our divorce?"I remembered. Scarlett had called me crying. "It was about Kyle," I said."I kept asking Morton questions. It didn't make sense to me."The twins were still asleep. I could hear Alexander's breathing through the baby monitor, that so

Mia's POVThomas moved around my kitchen with the practiced ease of someone who belonged there. Salt. Pepper. The particular way he held a wooden spoon that made me think of Sunday mornings and safety. "She died two years ago," I said, watching his hands still over the pan. "Two years, Thomas. And nobody told me."He nodded slowly. The meat sizzled. Steam rose between us like a wall."That's terrible," he said quietly. "I'm sorry you had to find out that way."Something in his tone made me pause. "You don't seem surprised," I said.His hand tightened on the wooden spoon. "Well, I mean, she was older. These things happen.""She wasn't that old. And she was healthy the last time I saw her."Thomas kept stirring. The meat was browning now, filling the kitchen with the smell of cumin and onions. Normal dinner smells. "People hide illness sometimes," he said carefully. "Especially from family. They don't want to worry anyone.""How would you know what Catherine would or wouldn't do?"Th

Chapter: Chapter 315 You went to Catherine's house?
Mia's POVThe drive home felt like swimming through thick honey, each mile stretched into eternity by the phantom ache in my ankle and the phantom pain in my chest that had nothing to do with physical injury. It’s like ascending through layers of water, pressure building in my ears until I had to swallow hard to make it pop.I stood outside my apartment door for a long moment, key poised at the lock, listening to the sounds of life filtering through the wood. Gas barking with the particular timber that meant he was playing, not alarmed. The twins' laughter bubbling up like champagne foam.The key turned with a soft click that sounded like a small bone breaking."Mama!" Alexander launched himself at me the moment I stepped through the door, his small body colliding with my legs with the force of a tiny meteorite. The impact sent a fresh bolt of pain through my injured ankle, but I welcomed it."Easy, baby," I murmured, steadying myself against the doorframe while my son wrapped his ar

"Get lost," I said, turning away from him while hobbling on a sprained ankle. "Just... get lost, Kyle."I limped toward the parking lot. The evening air was thick with humidity and the promise of rain. How fitting. Behind me, I heard footsteps. Of course he was following me. Of course Kyle Branson couldn't just let me walk away with the last word. He never could."Mia, wait."I kept walking. The parking lot stretched before me like an obstacle course, filled with cars that all looked identical under the harsh fluorescent lights. Where had I parked? Everything looked the same when you were running on adrenaline and rage."Please, just listen—""No." I whipped around so fast that pain shot up my leg, but I welcomed it. Physical pain was honest. It didn't lie or manipulate or pretend to be something it wasn't. "No, I will

You had to get up extra early every morning to apply whatever they use to make your skin look different. Whiter, wasn't it? Like you'd been living under a rock for months. And the hair, God, did you actually bleach it?"His jaw tightened, a muscle jumping beneath skin."Oh." I laugh with tear. "The facial structure changes, right? What did they do, file down your cheekbones? Reshape your jaw? You look like someone took a chisel to your face."I leaned in closer. "And these ridiculous colored contacts. Hazel instead of brown.

I almost ripped open the folder. Notarized signatures sprawled across designated lines in various shades of black and blue ink, and the letterhead of a well-known financial institution.The trust fund Catherine had established for the two boys was enormous. I realized with shame that I hadn't read it carefully at the time Catherine had first presented these documents to me.

BerniceThe gentle sea breeze ruffled my hair as I stood on the balcony of our Hamptons beach house, watching the sun dip below the horizon. Ten years had passed since that first charity gala, a decade filled with more love, laughter, and fulfillment than I could have ever imagined."Penny for your thoughts?" Christian's voice came from behind me, as familiar and comforting as ever.I turned, smiling as he handed me a glass of wine. "Just reflecting. It's hard to believe it's been ten years."Christian nodded, leaning against the railing beside me. "Ten amazing years. And you know what? I have a feeling the best is still to come."As if on cue, the sound of children's laughter floated up from the beach below. I looked down to see Hope, now fourteen, chasing her younger siblings, seven-year-old Ethan and five-year-old Olivia, through the surf. Melissa and Alex's twins, eight-year-old Sophie and Lucas, were building an elaborate sandcastle nearby."Should we call them in for dinner?" I

The Alpha King's Runaway Puppy

"I won't marry you, it's just an accident." I buried my face in my hands, trying to block out the sight of the Alpha's strong, naked body next to me. He had just proposed, but I didn't even know his name. What the hell had I done last night after getting drunk? "Accident? You are my mate. Didn't you feel that?" He gripped my hand tightly, his eyes burning with danger. "No, that's impossible..." I exclaimed in panic. Because I was a wolfless Omega. *** Harper Laurier was one of the daughters of the Slivergray Pack Alpha, but not the real one. As a wolfless Omega, she was nearly isolated and bullied by the entire pack. Heartbroken and battered, she decided to leave the pack and find a way to awaken her wolf. But an accident brought this ordinary 18-year-old girl's life into contact with the first prince of the Werewolf Kingdom. The dangerous and charming prince claimed to be her mate and asked for her hand in marriage, but Harper didn't feel it at all. Should she promise him? Or should she live a life uncontrolled by anyone? As the first heir to the Alpha King, countless assassination attempts left Wyatt Elliot cold and paranoid. He decided to trust no one, and nothing could stop him from ascending to the throne. However, a girl suddenly entered his life and opened his long-frozen heart. Her fatal attraction told him she was his mate. He couldn't wait to make her his own, but she was unaware of the mate bond and even tried to run away from him. How would Wyatt treat the first girl to reject him? Should he forcefully possess her or gently win her trust and heart?

She was four months pregnant now, and only three weeks away from her due date. Her child would be a winter baby. Harper turned around, feigning annoyance. "Did you hear what I said? I don't need a private nurse! I am a nurse myself!" "I know you're a great nurse, honey. " Wyatt approached and put his arms around her. "But even the greatest nurse can't deliver a baby for herself. It's all for your safety." Harper screwed up her face. "We already have five maids you've hired in the house. I have no privacy left." Wyatt kissed Harper's forehead.
