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,"
The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife Seeds of Hatred
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
The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife Chains Forged
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
The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife Walls Closing In
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
The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife Blackmail
Mr. Harris brought Mrs. Helen to a special security room in the basement of the Blackwood mansion.A small room without windows. Only a table, two chairs, and a CCTV camera in the corner of the ceiling.Usually used for interrogating staff suspected of stealing or committing serious violations.Mrs. Helen had never entered this room during her twenty years of work.Now she sat in a chair facing the table with two security guards standing behind her.Mr. Harris sat in the opposite chair. Stared at her with a cold expression."Mrs. Helen," he said in a formal tone. "Do you know why you were brought here?"Mrs. Helen lifted her chin. Tried to look calm though her heart pounded hard."No. I don't know.""Alright, if you want to make this drawn out. Let's start from the beginning." Mr. Harris opened a tablet in front of him. "This morning you brought breakfast for Mrs. Alina, but stayed there beyond the allotted time. What did you do while in the room?""Coaxing Madam to eat. Feeding her.

"Alina—""SHUT UP!"Alina stepped closer with a face full of rage. For the first time, Daniel stepped back one step—shocked by her intensity."You have no right to 'care' about me now, Daniel. You had five years to care. Five years to treat me like a human being, not furniture. And you never used t

At one in the afternoon, Daniel came home.Alina heard the sound of his car—the familiar Bentley Continental—entering the yard. Heard the car door close. Heard the sound of Daniel's dress shoes on the marble floor, confident and firm as usual.But this time there was no excited flutter in Alina's c
