Morning arrived.

Alina had not slept all night.

She only lay still, staring at the ceiling with vacant eyes. Her body ached everywhere. The traces of Daniel's hands still lingered on her skin like bruises that could not be seen.

But the physical pain was not the worst of it.

The worst was the emptiness in her chest. A total hollowness after every last hope had been stripped away one by one.

Daniel had used the one thing Alina still cared about as a weapon.

Junior.

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Lie

    Morning arrived.Alina had not slept all night.She only lay still, staring at the ceiling with vacant eyes. Her body ached everywhere. The traces of Daniel's hands still lingered on her skin like bruises that could not be seen.But the physical pain was not the worst of it.The worst was the emptiness in her chest. A total hollowness after every last hope had been stripped away one by one.Daniel had used the one thing Alina still cared about as a weapon.Junior.The promise of seeing Junior again if Alina would "cooperate." The threat of separating them forever if she refused.And Alina knew it might be a lie. That Daniel might never allow them to meet even if she did everything he asked.But what if it was true?What if this was the only chance?Alina closed her eyes. Tears slid toward her temples.She no longer knew what was real and what was false. No longer knew how to survive in this hell.A soft knock at the door broke the silence.Alina did not move. She did not care who was

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Happened Again

    On the other side of the mansion, Daniel climbed the stairs with hurried steps.His heart hammered in his chest. Anger still simmered inside him.But there was also pain.Hearing Junior reject his unborn sibling, a sibling not yet even real, with such vehemence.Junior had even called Alina a crazy woman.Daniel reached the corridor leading to Alina's room. The guards stood at their post. They opened the door without being asked.Daniel entered.The room was brighter than usual. The bathroom light was on.Daniel heard the sound of running water, and then the gentle voice of a servant."Ma'am, please tilt your head back slightly. I'll rinse your hair."Daniel walked closer. He stood in the bathroom doorway.He saw Alina sitting in a small chair. A servant was rinsing her wet, shampoo-filled hair.Alina wore only a thin bathrobe. Her long hair hung wet and heavy.Her face was still pale. Her eyes still swollen. But at least she had been washed and looked cleaner than before."Get out,"

    Daniel climbed the stairs with hurried steps.Leaving Clarissa still standing frozen in the corridor below.His mind was already fixed on one thing. Alina.He needed to see her. To confirm her condition. To confirm that the woman was still there. Still locked safely within the room that had become her prison.The corridor leading to Alina's room was quiet and deserted as usual.Two security guards stood on duty. They bowed respectfully as they saw Daniel approach."Sir.""Did anything happen while I was away?" asked Daniel as he walked past them."Mrs. Clarissa came earlier this afternoon, Sir. Mr. Harris and I stopped her."Daniel gave a satisfied nod. "Good. Keep watch. Don't let anyone in without my permission.""Yes, Sir."Daniel opened the door to Alina's room with the key he always kept on him. He entered the dimly lit room.The curtains were drawn. The lights were off. Only the fading evening light seeping through the gaps in the curtains offered any illumination.Daniel's eyes

    Daniel arrived at the mansion just as the sun began to tilt toward the west.His car stopped at the main entrance. He stepped out with decisive strides without waiting for the driver to open the door.Marcus followed behind with a tablet and briefcase."Handle all remaining work for today," said Daniel without looking back. "Confirm by message once it's done. I have matters to attend to inside.""Yes, Sir."Daniel walked straight into the mansion. He passed through the foyer without acknowledging the servants who bowed respectfully.Heading directly to the basement.To the private security room where Mrs. Helen was waiting.Mr. Harris was already standing at the door. He opened it the moment he saw Daniel approaching."Sir."Daniel gave a brief nod. He entered the small, windowless room.Mrs. Helen sat in a chair with her head bowed. Her back was rigid with tension. Her hands were clenched in her lap.She did not dare look up at Daniel as he entered.Daniel sat in the chair across fro

    Junior finished changing out of his school uniform into a t-shirt and shorts.He stepped out of his room with excitement, carrying the small painting kit Clarissa had given him last week.Clarissa was still standing in the living room, staring at the family photos on the wall with a blank expression."Mama!" Junior ran toward her. "I already changed. Can I paint in the backyard?"Clarissa startled. She turned to Junior with a forced smile.But her eyes looked exhausted. Her face was pale."You may, sweetheart," she said in a weak voice. "But Mama can't come with you. Mama's headache is getting worse."Junior grew immediately worried. He set his painting kit down on the sofa and approached Clarissa.His small hand touched the back of her hand, checking whether she had a fever."Mama is sick? Should we go to the doctor?"Clarissa smiled at her son's concern. She gently stroked Junior's head."No need for a doctor. Mama just needs to rest for a little while. Go ahead and paint. Mama will

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Heir to Nothing

    Daniel had just finished lunch with an important client when Mr. Harris sent him the message. He sat in a luxurious restaurant on the fortieth floor of a downtown building with business colleagues. Discussing an expansion contract worth billions. But Daniel's mind wasn't fully focused. Part of his brain kept drifting to the house. Thinking about Alina and the increasingly complicated situation. When his phone vibrated on the table, he immediately took it. Message from Mr. Harris. Daniel read quickly. His eyes narrowed deeper as he read each word. Mrs. Helen took photos of evidence of injuries on Alina's face. And would send them to outside parties. Daniel felt anger burning in his chest. He'd already given that woman a warning. Already emphasized it was her last chance after previously being caught helping Alina communicate with Emma. But the old servant still violated it. She still chose to defend Alina. Daniel typed a reply with fingers pressing the screen from anger. "D
