The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife The Hostage Call
In the small wooden house in New Zealand, Alina had just finished helping Nora wash the dishes when the phone Salvatore had given her buzzed in her pocket.Unknown number.She hesitated for a moment before answering, her heart pounding for no clear reason."Hello?"The voice on the other end froze her whole body."Alina."Daniel.Her breath caught in her throat. The hand holding the phone began to tremble, memories she'd tried so hard to bury suddenly surging back—that voice, that tone, the way he said her name as if it still belonged to him."How did you—""So it's true. Wasn't a waste tracing the number from Richard's call a few weeks ago," Daniel cut in before Alina could finish her sentence. "You've been gone a long time. When are you coming back?"Alina wanted to hang up. Her hand had already moved toward the button.But Daniel's next words stopped her."Don't you want to know how your brother's doing? David Hayes?"Alina froze. "What do you mean?""Your brother," Daniel said, hi

David arrived at the office in a neat shirt. Briefcase over his shoulder. A small smile for the receptionist in the lobby.He had no idea today would be different.His supervisor called him in before ten o'clock."There's a sudden assignment," the man said, his eyes not quite meeting David's. "A branch out of town. Special training for young management candidates."David blinked. "This fast? I haven't even been here a full month.""That's exactly why you were chosen." His supervisor smiled, but the smile felt too stiff. "Mr. Blackwood himself recommended your name."The name flattered him a little. Made him a little suspicious too, though he didn't know why."When do I need to leave?""Now. The car's already waiting in the basement."The car provided by the company wasn't an ordinary company car.David realized it the moment he got in—tinted windows, two men in black suits up front, no company logo anywhere."Is this really a company car?" he asked, trying to sound casual."Just have
The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife Last Card
Daniel's office was filled with blue light from the rows of monitors lining the wall. It had been three days since Junior's outburst calling Alina's name, and since then Daniel had barely touched his own bed.Vincent called close to midnight, his voice carrying a different tone than usual—more cautious, as if aware of the weight of the information he was about to deliver."I found something," he said. "But you're not going to like it."Daniel straightened in his chair. "Talk.""The ship that took your wife isn't just any ship," Vincent continued. "I've confirmed it through three different sources. That ship belongs to Salvatore Russo."The name hit Daniel's ears like a blunt blow."The Russo mafia? How could my wife be involved with someone like that?""It's not your wife who's involved with him," Vincent answered sharply. "It's Adrian Lawson who's involved. And from what I hear, their relationship isn't an ordinary one. Russo owes him a huge debt of gratitude."Daniel's jaw hardened.
The Billionaire's Insignificant Wife A Night That's Never Peaceful
Elsewhere, it was still daylight.Alina sat on the small porch of Thomas and Nora's house, a basket of cream and light blue yarn resting in her lap.Nora had taught her to knit a few days ago, at first just to pass the time, but now it had become something Alina looked forward to every evening. Her fingers were still stiff, occasionally miscounting stitches, but slowly a pair of small shoes were starting to take shape from the yarn.Baby shoes.Alina looked at her work, a small smile appearing on her lips. There was something calming about this activity, her hands busy while her mind could wander without having to stay constantly alert like the days before."Very good for a beginner," Nora said, sitting in the chair beside her while sipping warm tea. "It's almost done.""Thanks to you," Alina answered, smiling sincerely. "I never imagined I could make something like this."Her routine had started to form over the past few days. Mornings helping Nora prepare breakfast and tidy the hous
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

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

At eleven o'clock at night, the mansion was already quiet.The staff had returned to their quarters. Daniel was still locked in his study with his laptop and bourbon. Margaret had gone to bed in her own wing. Alina was locked in her room as usual.And Clarissa stood outside Junior's room with her h
