The drive home from Dr. Linda's office was silent.

Junior sat in his car seat in the back with headphones, staring out the window with the same blank expression as in the waiting room earlier. Daniel kept glancing in the rearview mirror, feeling the weight of the conversation with Dr. Linda still heavy on his chest.

"Junior spent five years with Alina as his primary caregiver. In his mind, she is his Mom."

"You're not just taking away a babysitter. You're taking away his Mom."

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Open Wounds

    Daniel arrived at the mansion at exactly ten at night, his steps quick toward Junior's room the moment he passed through the front door.The news he'd received from the attending doctor made his chest churn between hope and worry. Junior's fever had started to drop. The child was starting to show signs of consciousness.The moment he entered the room, Daniel found Junior sitting up weakly on the bed, propped against a pile of pillows, his face still pale but his eyes now open, though listless."Junior." Daniel hurried closer, genuine relief showing on his face. "You're awake, son."But before Daniel could touch him, Junior's eyes moved quickly around the room, searching for something."Mama?" his small voice was hoarse, but full of hope. "Where's Mama?"Clarissa, sitting on the other side of the bed, immediately rose, her face trying to look relieved. "Mama's here, sweetheart."But Junior instead shrank back slightly against the pillows, his eyes widening with something resembling fea

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    The Brother He's Watching

    David was sitting at his desk on the twentieth floor of Blackwood Enterprises when a short message landed in his work email."Please come to Mr. Daniel's office immediately. Important."David stared at the screen, brow furrowed. He'd only been working here for three weeks, and in that time he'd almost never dealt with Daniel directly. His contact always went through his division supervisor, the normal channel for a new employee.Being summoned by the CEO himself felt strange.He straightened his shirt, then walked toward the elevator to the top floor, his heart pounding for no clear reason.The moment the door to Daniel's office opened, David found an atmosphere far from what he'd imagined. No warm greeting given their relationship as brothers-in-law, no small talk from a boss to his new employee.Daniel sat behind his desk, his face cold and exhausted at once, like someone who hadn't truly slept in days."Sit," Daniel said curtly.David sat stiffly, trying to hide his nervousness."D

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Locked On Both Sides

    Two days passed with no meaningful change in Junior's condition.His fever kept rising and falling, never truly stabilizing despite the medication and care given exactly as Dr. Foster had instructed. His small body grew even thinner, his cheeks hollow, his eyes often half-closed in a state hovering between consciousness and unconsciousness.Every so often Junior would wake, his eyes blinking weakly up at the ceiling."Mama..." he whispered hoarsely, his voice nearly gone. "Where's Mama?"Clarissa, sitting at his side, rushed closer, taking his hand. "Mama's here, sweetheart."But Junior only glanced at her briefly, a faint confusion flickering in his eyes before they closed again, sinking back into a sleep that was never truly peaceful.That wasn't the answer he was searching for. And everyone in the room knew it all too well.---In his office, Daniel sat behind a desk buried in reports that brought no good news.Marcus stood before him, tablet in hand, his expression tense as he del

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Fever

    Meanwhile, at the mansion, Junior had been running a high fever since the early hours of the morning.At first it was just a slightly warm body temperature when the housekeeper woke him for breakfast. Clarissa assumed it was an ordinary flu, gave him whatever fever reducer was on hand, then sent him back to bed.But by midday, Junior's condition had worsened dramatically.His temperature kept climbing despite repeated cold compresses. He refused to eat, and even water was difficult for him to swallow. His small body was limp, his eyes half-shut, his breathing rapid and irregular.The family doctor was called at once.Junior's room became a flurry of activity. Nurses moved in and out carrying medical equipment, the doctor examined him with a grave expression, while Clarissa sat on the edge of the bed, holding her son's hand with an expression of worry convincing enough for anyone watching.But behind that face, something far darker lurked.Because every time Junior drifted into deliriu

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Battlefields

    Several days had passed since Alina arrived at this house, and slowly she began to find a new rhythm. Mornings gardening with Nora. Afternoons learning to cook simple recipes passed down through generations. Evenings walking the hills, always with Renee keeping watch a few steps behind, her eyes sweeping the surroundings without ever truly relaxing.Alina's body was beginning to change. The hollows in her cheeks were gradually filling out. Her pallid skin was slowly reclaiming its color. Even her laughter—small, rare, but real—began to surface now and then, surprising herself each time it happened.But beneath that stillness, there was one empty space that never quite filled.That evening, after dinner, Alina sat at the small table near her bedroom window, a blank sheet of paper before her.She wrote.'Dear Junior,''Mama hopes you're doing well. Mama hopes you're eating regularly, sleeping enough, and not watching too many cartoons until you forget the time.''Mama is here, in a fara

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    A Trap?

    Marcus stood at attention before Daniel, waiting for further instructions.But before Daniel could issue any orders, the phone on his desk buzzed again.Vincent's name appeared on the screen.Daniel snatched it up immediately. "Vincent. I just received information about a call made from New Zealand to Richard Hayes's home. Do you know anything about it?"A brief silence on the other end."I was just about to tell you," Vincent replied, his tone slightly different from usual—more careful. "My team's contacts have traced the number.""And?""The number is registered to a prepaid SIM purchased with cash at a convenience store in Auckland three days ago," said Vincent. "But after digging further, the same number was also used to contact at least seven other numbers within the last two hours—random numbers, most of them inactive or belonging to small businesses with no connection to each other whatsoever."Daniel frowned. "What does that mean?""It means," Vincent replied, sounding increas

    At five in the morning, a soft knock on the door woke Alina from sleep that had never really come.She'd been awake since three. Lying in bed with eyes open, staring at the ceiling, waiting for morning to arrive.Waiting for the chance to see Junior."Mrs. Blackwood?" Mrs. Helen's voice from outsid

    Alina stared at the tray before her with empty eyes.The chicken soup was still steaming. White rice neatly arranged. Warm tea in a fine porcelain cup.But she wasn't hungry.Not after the conversation with Emma. Not after hearing the words "divorce" and "custody battle" spoken aloud for the first
