THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE CHAPTER 167: When Truth Finally Catches Her
RIANThat night, I had actually asked for permission to leave my post for a while—just to return briefly from my duty guarding Sir Steven. But who would’ve thought that on my way home, after getting off the city bus, I would end up encountering a beautiful woman being harassed by three thugs.And now, realizing that Lorian had other intentions—namely, that she had been teasing me all along, I quickly shut my bedroom door a little harder than usual. My back pressed against it immediately, as if I needed something solid just to hold myself upright. My breathing was still unsteady. My chest rose and fell unevenly, and damn it—my heartbeat felt far too fast.I raised a hand and rubbed my face roughly.What kind of woman acts that boldly in front of a man she just met? I shook my head again, trying to steady myself, dragging in a breath that refused to settle. I had almost lost control.“Calm down, Rian. You need to relax…” I muttered under my breath, more like a command than reassurance.
THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE CHAPTER 166: The Trap She Set
LORIANStill gasping for breath, I couldn’t answer the man who had just helped me. My chest rose and fell unevenly, as if the air around me had suddenly thinned. My hands trembled against the cold, rain-slick asphalt my fingers dirty, slightly scraped, but the sting barely registered compared to what had just happened.I swallowed hard. My throat was dry. Tears kept slipping down my cheeks, mixing with the drizzle that clung to my skin. The world seemed to spin slowly, the sounds around me drifting farther and farther away.Then I heard footsteps approaching. Slow. Steady. Unhurried.I lifted my face slightly, my breathing still uneven. The man now stood in front of me, his silhouette clear beneath the dim streetlight—tall, composed, his expression… unreadable.“Ma’am, can you stand?” he asked again.This time, I could see his face more clearly.I didn’t answer right away. I just stared at him for a few seconds, trying to process everything. But instead of thinking, I found myself stu
THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE CHAPTER 165: When the Night Turned Cruel
LORIANThe night air bit at my skin the moment I stepped out of the motel. The door clicked shut behind me, soft but final, leaving a silence that somehow felt heavier than noise. My ankle throbbed with every step sharp and insistent, but I forced myself forward along the narrow corridor ahead.This place was anything but welcoming. Dim lights hung crookedly overhead, some flickering, others barely alive. The walls on either side were damp and stained, and the musty smell mixed with the cold air made each breath feel unpleasant. I pulled my scarf higher to cover part of my face and kept walking, even as my leg grew heavier with every step.A few food stalls lined the corridor, but nearly all of them were closed. Metal shutters were down, chairs stacked, no sign of life anywhere. Quiet. Too quiet. My stomach twisted painfully, reminding me I hadn’t eaten in… how long? The last thing I remembered was a light breakfast that morning before rushing to the airport with Alexander.I quickene
THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE CHAPTER 164: The Moment Lorian Chose to Leave
LORIAN“Can you walk a little faster? You’re seriously slowing me down.”“My leg is injured, Alex. Did you forget?” I snapped, watching his back as he kept moving several steps ahead of me without even bothering to slow down.“I know. But that leg of yours is becoming a problem, Lorian.”I stopped for a moment in the dim motel hallway, exhaling slowly as irritation tightened in my chest. I didn’t know what had gotten into Alexander lately, why he’d become this insufferable, but after everything that had happened today, I was starting to regret following him.My gaze lingered on his retreating figure. Once, I might’ve seen that cold, unyielding attitude as strength—as proof that he was a man who knew what he wanted. But now… it was just exhausting.I forced myself to move again, dragging my aching leg forward. Every step felt heavier—not just from the pain, but from the thoughts spiraling in my head.Regret. Yes… I was starting to regret everything.Hadn’t my intentions been clear from
THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE CHAPTER 163: Hiding in the Dark
ALEXANDERThe 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
THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE CHAPTER 162: Our First Kiss
EMELY“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
