~ Isabella ~

I wish it were my wedding.

I wish I were the bride.

I didn’t realize I'd gotten these thoughts locked deep within me until I set my eyes on the brightly dressed Junie.

Though I had gone with her for her dress fitting, this was so different.

There was a different glow around her… the one that could only come from being truly seen, loved, and wanted.

“You look breathtaking, Junie.” I say, trying my best to hold back my tears at the sight of my best friend.

“Thank you.” She smiled, re

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   “Carl Rogers?!”

    ~ Emmerson ~I sat at the reception with my laptop on my lap as I tried to catch up on some work. Though I had to lift my head up occasionally to respond to the greetings of some of the medical students around.By now some of them had probably guessed why I was here, and thanks to the confidentiality agreement I had signed with the hospital… I could rest well, knowing my presence here wouldn’t be disclosed to the media."Mr. Winters… Is Miss Isabella around?” Nurse Ash’s voice interrupted me.“She stepped out. Why?” “Lily calls for her… that’s why.”“Oh… don’t worry, I will handle it.” I say, already standing up with my laptop and making my way into my daughters room.There I met the usually vibrant Lily, crouched in a fetal position on her bed, which was beside her sister’s. Unlike before, Emilia had her arm around her… in a comforting way.“What’s going on, Girlllsss?!” I asked, gently… closing the distance between us. “Lily says… Mom isn’t replying to her texts.” Oh… I at first

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   “She is not your wife.”

    ~ Isabella ~I never thought there could be anything so beautiful and breathtaking until I watched my daughters turn the hospital room into a musical concert.They had their arms each around an instrument as they played and sang beautifully.While Lily played the cello, as most of the kids at the foster home were taught to… Emilia, on the other hand, had her little fingers bouncing along the multiple keys of the piano.They sat side by side, their sides touching as their mouths and fingers moved in synchrony.It was indeed a sight to behold.I felt movement behind me and turned to face Emmerson… who surprisingly had tears in his eyes.Just like me, he was probably not expecting this… Though I believe he had a hand in making the instruments available.But then… it was a different thing to provide instruments and incentives for an event, but it was another thing to watch the event unfold in a breathtaking kind of way. “They are so beautiful.” He whispered, and I turned back to stare at

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   “Are you okay?”

    ~ Emmerson ~The last thing I expected was for us to be stuck in an elevator while our daughters were being operated on. Never also would I have thought that Isabella would start hyperventilating the second the light went off. Was she claustrophobic? Though I didn’t get the chance to think much as she began wailing and I had to hold her.We both froze when our bodies came in contact… which was interesting, given we’d slept together so many years ago and even have twin daughters to show for it.But it was different…The intimacy had happened involuntarily.But this was voluntarily.The freezing lasted Only about a few seconds before I began whispering to her… hoping to calm her down, but she kept on shaking.With a sigh, I took a seat on the floor and pulled her into my lap, her head resting on my chest… which was now beating rather wildly.“Let me out,” she whimpered, and I could tell instantly that she was having flashbacks. Could it be from her childhood or when? Had she been mal

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   Stuck in the elevator.

    ~ Emmerson ~I have always been used to the fast-paced kind of life… the one where I have to constantly be on my toes, ticking off boxes and being super productive.But the last two months had been slow, very slow. Though I must admit, it had been bearable with Isabella and Lily around here….Speaking of Isabella, though she’d withdrawn the lawsuit as I hoped she would… she’d definitely made it clear to me that she wanted absolutely nothing to do with me, and that has been obvious in her attempts to avoid me altogether.Her actions shouldn’t affect or freak me out… but they do, in a way that I couldn’t deny any longer. Tomorrow is the operation… and as a result… Isabella had constantly been within sight, yet… stoic and untouchable.Well… who could blame her?!I’d done something super incriminating and should be punished for it… even though I had done it, when I knew not how much my actions affected her. I was blind and now, I was paying the consequence for that blindness.….~ Isab

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   I’ll do it, Mom.

    ~ Isabella ~“Thank you for bringing her.” His soft masculine voice broke the silence that has befallen us. “Yeah…” I said simply, now staring at the night sky… in wonder. I couldn’t shake the scene of Lily bonding with her twin out of my head. It reminded me so much of Emily and what could have been if we’d just been like normal twins. Would life have been different if we were?And there was Carl Rogers, whose thoughts had suddenly filled my mind… What would it be like to be his daughter?No… not the daughter of a rich man… but someone whom I felt so safe in his arms with, like I had with my dad?What would it be like really?But I soon got snapped out of my thoughts by his next words. “Will you still be pursuing the law suit?”“What do you think?” I turned to face him… And I had to admit, he looked so much different from when we were married. Not just in appearance, but he didn’t give off the aloof and arrogant aura as he’d done then.“A mother would do anything for her child.” He

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   My Dad?!

    ~ Emmerson ~It felt like I was transfixed into a trance… when I set my eyes on Isabella and… Lily?!The girl who was a complete carbon copy of Emilia.My daughter…My daughters…As I watched her bounce excitedly on the hallway of the middle floor… my heart leaped.Was this really my daughter?Was this how beautiful my life would have turned out if only I had learned to snap out of my obsession way earlier?They were coming closer now; I could hear and feel it…Lily’s constant babbles… which reminded me so much of Emilia, though the latter had become a little quieter… which wasn’t so unexpected.Cancer sucks.And the medication she was being given did nothing more than cause her to feel weaker and weaker. They help with the pain though…But then, at what expense?At the expense of me watching my active daughter become inactive and grey?But maybe things would improve now that her twin was here.Twin…The word still felt very weird on my lips.My identical twins…“Will he like me, Mom

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   “Will she like me, Mom?!”

    ~ Isabella ~"Look who we’ve got here… the newest Americana.” I heard Kane’s amusement-filled voice as I walked into his office. It was as cozy and clean as I remember… even though he sometimes does general consultations for his patients here. “Hiii,” I say when he gets closer and wraps his arms

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   “You look different.”

    ~ Isabella ~It’s been almost two hours since I revealed the truth to Lily, yet the scene of her reaction kept playing and replaying in my head like an iconic childhood memory. I couldn’t help but wonder… if there was something she’d always known but hadn’t.Yes… We’d bonded the second I set my ey

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   “You could be my Grandpa?!”

    ~ Isabella ~“When will you be back?” I read and reread Kane’s text over and over as I sat down on my bed. Though it was a simple question…That could be interpreted as “When will you be back in Australia?”, “When will you be back to work?” and so on.But I knew better. “Soon.” I sent, though I

  • The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife   “She looks like me?!”

    ~ Emmerson ~It’s been over an hour since Isabella and I sat in front of each other in the reception… while the doctor’s ran some tests on Lily. I stole a glance at her, and relaxed when she wasn’t looking at me. Her gaze was looking downwards, her palms clasped on her laps, and I couldn’t help b
