"You have no right to be here at all."

Clarissa's words landed in the waiting room like something final.

Alina stood very still.

"I'm not leaving," Alina said quietly.

"Actually." Margaret rose from her chair with the slow deliberateness of someone who had been waiting for exactly this moment. "You are."

She walked to the door and opened it, looking at Alina with eyes that had never once in five years held anything warmer than calculated tolerance.

"You left the mansion without permission. With

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Reunion

    Not long after Daniel left, three people entered the hospital lobby with quick steps.Richard Hayes looked pale and exhausted—eyes red from lack of sleep and worry that had lasted a long time.Emma Carter walked beside him with a tense but determined face.And Adrian Lawson led them with upright posture and professional expression—though there was something more personal in his eyes.At the reception desk, Adrian spoke with the nurse on duty."We're here to visit Mrs. Alina Blackwood," he said in a firm voice. "I'm Adrian Lawson, the attorney handling her case. And this is Richard Hayes, her father."The nurse typed something on the computer."Mrs. Blackwood is in the maternity unit, fourth floor," she said while looking at the screen. "But I need to confirm first whether—""I've already spoken with Ms. Claire Fontaine and Dr. Ingrid Halvorsen about this visit," Adrian interrupted calmly but firmly. "They've already approved it."The nurse nodded slowly."Alright. Please go up to the

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Infiltration

    The ambulance drove at a steady speed through the busy city streets.Inside, Alina still lay on the stretcher. Her eyes were closed—her breathing, which had been gasping, slowly began to stabilize.Dr. Halvorsen sat with her hand still gently holding Alina's hand.The female paramedic continued to check the vital signs monitor with trained eyes."Blood pressure still low but stable," she said in a professional voice. "Heart rate ninety-two per minute. Oxygen saturation ninety-five percent."Dr. Halvorsen nodded while taking notes on her small tablet."How much longer until the hospital?" she asked."Fifteen minutes," the paramedic answered. "We've already confirmed with St. Catherine's. The maternity unit is ready to receive the patient."Alina opened her eyes slowly—staring at the ambulance ceiling with an expression still filled with mixed emotions."Dr. Halvorsen," Alina whispered in a hoarse voice. "What will happen when I arrive at the hospital?"Dr. Halvorsen looked at Alina wit

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    First Taste of Freedom

    On the second floor, Clarissa stood at her bedroom window, watching the procession with narrowed eyes. She saw the thin and fragile Alina being guided to the ambulance with the help of Mrs. Helen and the paramedics. She saw Ms. Fontaine and Dr. Halvorsen escorting protectively. And she saw Daniel standing at the doorway with tense posture and clenched fists. "Hospital," Clarissa thought with calculation. "She's going to the hospital." Her mind worked quickly. Hospital meant out of her reach. Hospital meant Alina would be watched by people she didn't control. And that would make it difficult for her to administer the abortifacient she possessed. Clarissa couldn't let Alina actually give birth to Daniel's child. She wouldn't let that baby strengthen Alina's position in this family. "I must act quickly," Clarissa thought again. "Before it's too late." But how could she administer it if Alina was in the hospital? Clarissa stared at the ambulance with calculating eyes.

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Departure

    Ms. Fontaine and Dr. Halvorsen returned to Alina's room.Mrs. Helen was still standing in the corridor—her face full of hope and fear mixed together."What happened?" she whispered in a voice barely audible."We will be taking Mrs. Blackwood to the hospital today," Ms. Fontaine answered calmly. "In one hour. Mr. Blackwood has already given his permission."Mrs. Helen's eyes immediately filled with tears of immense relief."Thank you," she whispered with a broken voice. "Thank God.""We will inform Mrs. Blackwood of this," Ms. Fontaine said.Mrs. Helen nodded happily.Ms. Fontaine knocked gently on Alina's door before opening it.Alina was still sitting in the same chair in the same position since they had left her.But her eyes immediately lifted when Ms. Fontaine and Dr. Halvorsen entered. Staring with fear and hope mixed in equal proportion."Alina," Dr. Halvorsen said gently while sitting in the chair across from her. "We've spoken with your husband about your condition."Alina swa

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Forced Agreement

    Ms. Fontaine and Dr. Halvorsen exited Alina's room. Their faces showed controlled professionalism but there was tension behind those expressions.They had finished the examination and made their decision.Now they had to face the hardest part—telling Daniel Blackwood that his wife needed immediate medical intervention.Mr. Harris waited at the foot of the stairs in a formal posture."Mr. Blackwood is in his study," he said in a neutral voice. "He asked that you meet him there after you finish.""Thank you," Ms. Fontaine answered professionally.They followed Mr. Harris down the long corridor to the study in the east wing of the house.A large wooden door with intricate carvings.Mr. Harris knocked gently."Come in," Daniel's voice came from inside—calm and controlled.Mr. Harris opened the door and stepped aside, allowing Ms. Fontaine and Dr. Halvorsen to enter.The study was spacious and impressive—floor-to-ceiling bookshelves, a large mahogany desk, tall windows overlooking the back

  • The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife    Decision That Changes Everything

    The silence after Daniel left felt heavier than before. Alina sat in the chair with her body still rigid—every muscle tense with the fear that had just been triggered by Daniel's brief presence. Her hands trembled more violently now. Her breathing was short and rapid—almost like someone on the verge of a panic attack. Ms. Fontaine sat back down slowly, but her eyes never left Alina. She had seen that reaction countless times in her career. The way domestic violence victims responded when the perpetrator entered the room. Instant tension. Visceral fear. The inability to breathe normally. This wasn't a reaction to a "caring husband." This was a reaction to a threat. "Alina," Dr. Halvorsen said gently while sitting back down beside the chair. "Are you alright?" Alina nodded automatically—a trained reflex movement. But her hands still trembled. Her breathing was still too fast. Dr. Halvorsen took Alina's hand gently. "Take a deep breath for me," she said in a calming voice. "

    At four in the afternoon, Alina sat in the library with a book in her lap that hadn't been opened for the past half hour.She couldn't focus. Couldn't stop thinking about Junior. The little boy who hadn't spoken to her for three days. Who looked at her with eyes full of confusion and hurt every sup

    At ten minutes past five in the afternoon, a black car pulled into the mansion's driveway.Junior got out with a backpack on his back, his steps slow as they had been lately. The driver opened the door for him, but Junior only nodded slightly without smiling.Mrs. Helen greeted him at the door with

    Three days passed in a blur of careful avoidance.Daniel didn't return to Alina's room, though she heard from Mrs. Helen that he hadn't slept in the master bedroom either. He'd been staying in his study, working late into the night, sleeping on the leather couch when exhaustion finally claimed him.
