The basement of the Blackwood mansion was a place Alina had only seen once, years ago, during a house tour when she'd first moved in.

Cold. Dim. Utilitarian.

Storage rooms lined one side. Mechanical systems hummed behind closed doors. The laundry occupied the far end, always running, always staffed.

But there was a section in between. Older. Unused.

Rooms that had been servants' quarters a generation ago, before Margaret had modernized the staff arrangements and moved everyone to the renovated

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife     A Ray of Hope

    In her room, Clarissa sat on the edge of the bed with her phone in hand.The screen displayed dozens of news articles discussing her photos from the night before.A satisfied smile spread across her lips."Perfect," she murmured as she kept scrolling through the comments that continued to pour in.What pleased Clarissa even more was the fact that Daniel had not issued any statement about this news.No denial. No clarification. Nothing at all.Clarissa interpreted this as a sign of silent agreement."He doesn't object," Clarissa whispered with a widening smile. "Or perhaps... he's deliberately letting this story grow because he actually wants to come back to me."Clarissa stood and walked to her wardrobe. She pulled the doors open wide and gazed at the row of clothing with bright eyes.Today she had to look perfect.She had to appear beautiful. Elegant. Like the true Mrs. Blackwood.Clarissa selected a knee-length navy blue dress with a sophisticated but feminine cut. Not too formal bu

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Daniel panicked

    Hurried footsteps could be heard. Mrs. Helen appeared first with a pale face."Sir? What's wrong—" Her eyes went wide at the sight of Alina and her bleeding hands."Why didn't you check on her?!" Daniel snapped. "Why did you let her get hurt like this?!"Mrs. Helen trembled. "I-I... when I brought the flowers earlier, Ma'am was fine at that point—""Why didn't you check on her again after that?!" Daniel's fury peaked. "That is your job! To watch over and look after her! Not to leave her alone until she's hurt herself!""Forgive me, Sir—""GET OUT! Bring the first aid kit! NOW!"Mrs. Helen ran out with tears on her cheeks.Daniel knelt in front of Alina again. He took her hands more gently this time.He began carefully pulling out the thorns still embedded in her skin one by one.Alina did not react. Did not flinch. Did not even pull her hand away. She only sat frozen in silence.Like a doll."Why did you do this?" Daniel whispered in a trembling voice. "Why did you hurt yourself?"Mrs

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    The Public Deception

    Clarissa stood in front of her bedroom mirror with a thin smile on her lips.She wore an ivory satin nightgown — thin, tracing the lines of her figure, but modest enough not to appear vulgar in front of a small child.Her hair was left loose with soft waves. Makeup minimal but flattering. A light perfume — nothing too sharp.Everything calculated.Clarissa glanced at the wall clock. Eight in the evening. If he wasn't dining out, Daniel usually came home around this time.She stepped out of her room and walked down the corridor to Junior's room at the far end.Junior was sitting on his bed with a storybook in hand. His eyes were already heavy with sleep but he was still trying to read."Sweetheart," Clarissa called in a gentle voice. "It's time to sleep."Junior looked up. "But I haven't finished the story yet, Mama."Clarissa sat on the edge of the bed. She stroked Junior's head with affection."How about we wait for Papa to come home? We can ask Papa to read it to the end?"Junior im

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Flowers and Ashes

    At lunchtime, Daniel sat in the private dining room of a luxury restaurant in the city center with a glass of wine in hand.Dr. Lawrence Mitchell sat across from him with a pale face and trembling hands."Thank you for coming so quickly, Dr. Mitchell," said Daniel with a smile that did not reach his eyes.Dr. Mitchell swallowed. "Mr. Blackwood, if this is about Mrs. Margaret—""Oh, this is indeed about my mother," Daniel cut in as he sipped his wine. "And about the very... bold plan the two of you have been making."Dr. Mitchell felt the blood drain from his face."I don't know what you—"Daniel set his wine glass down with a sharp sound that made Dr. Mitchell flinch."Don't play games with me, Doctor. I know everything. I know my mother contacted you. I know she asked you to evaluate Alina again, discreetly. I also know her plan to have my wife admitted to a psychiatric facility."Daniel leaned back in his chair with sharp eyes fixed on Dr. Mitchell."What I want to know is: why did

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Emma's Fall

    "What?" Martin's voice sounded disbelieving. "Daniel, what do you mean? Emma is an excellent employee. She has delivered many successful projects for our firm. I can't simply dismiss her without strong grounds.""The grounds are that she has been interfering in my personal affairs," Daniel answered in a hard tone. "She's been spreading false rumors about my family. Trying to damage our reputation by looking for a lawyer for a case that doesn't exist.""Daniel, I don't understand—""You don't need to understand, Martin," Daniel cut in. "You only need to do what I'm asking. Fire Emma Carter. Now."Martin drew a deep breath. "Daniel, I can't do that. Emma has rights as an employee. There are procedures to follow. I can't dismiss someone arbitrarily without a proper investigation—""Martin," Daniel said in a dangerous tone. "Do you remember who helped your firm land a major contract with Waverly Corporation last year? Who recommended your firm to three large clients that now make up you

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Obsession's Grip

    Night arrived with a suffocating darkness. Alina sat on the edge of the bed with vacant eyes staring at the window barred with iron grates. She knew Daniel would come. The man had made his promise that afternoon. Daniel's words still echoed in her head like a curse. The door opened with a soft click. Daniel entered with unhurried steps. He closed and locked the door from the inside. Alina did not turn. Did not react. She only continued sitting with her back straight and her hands folded in her lap. Like a statue. Daniel walked closer. He stood in front of Alina and looked at her with an expression that was difficult to read. "Alina," he called softly. No response. Daniel knelt in front of her. He lifted her chin gently so that she faced him. Alina's eyes were vacant. Looking through Daniel as though the man did not exist. "You didn't rest?" Daniel asked as he stroked Alina's cheek. No answer. Daniel drew a deep breath. Trying to suppress the frustration that was beginning
