The Billionaire's Unwanted wife Chapter 63: The Collector's Interest
The Matriarch's laughter came out of Alaric's mouth, but it fractured halfway through, as if the sound had hit something it couldn't pass through."You," she said. The chorus was gone. For the first time, there was only one voice, and it was afraid. "You were sealed.""I was owed," the man in the linen suit said. He stepped over the threshold, and the floor seemed to hold its breath beneath him. His black eyes moved across the room and settled on the baby, then on the gold crawling up my throat. "Seals are for debtors. I am the one who keeps the ledger."Maia hadn't moved from the doorway. Her face was gray, her hands clenched at her sides. "Elara," she said hoarsely, "I'm sorry. I didn't know who else to bring."I wanted to answer, but the gold had reached my jaw, and every word felt like it had to travel a thousand miles to reach my mouth. Alaric's hand was still extended toward me, trembling. The tear had dried on his cheek, leaving a silver track.The man lifted the obsidian devic
The Billionaire's Unwanted wife Chapter 62: The Divine Trinity
The sound of Alaric’s voice as a chorus was the most terrifying thing I had ever heard. It was not just a collection of voices, but a perfect, shimmering harmony that stripped away every shred of his individual identity. He looked at me, and the gold in his eyes was no longer a flicker; it was a flood. The iridescent light had surged through his veins, creating a glowing, metallic network beneath his skin that pulsed in time with the baby’s heartbeat. He was no longer the man who had promised to burn the world for me. He was a living conduit, a biological masterpiece of the Matriarch’s design.I tried to reach for him, but as my hand touched his skin, a jolt of pure, raw energy surged through my arm. It wasn't pain, but it was an overwhelming flood of information. For a split second, I saw everything the Matriarch saw. I saw the villa not as a sanctuary, but as a set of frequencies and energy signatures. I saw Alaric as a beautiful, complex equation of desire and devotion. And I saw t
The Billionaire's Unwanted wife Chapter 61: The Symphony of the Damned
The sound of the Matriarch’s voice emerging from the lips of an infant was a violation of nature that left me paralysed. It was not the soft, gurgling babble of a baby, but a clear, commanding resonance that filled the nursery with a cold, clinical authority. The infant sat upright in the crib, her amber eyes shimmering with that same iridescent gold that had once defined the woman who had tried to destroy us. She looked at us with a gaze far too ancient for her small face, a predatory intelligence that turned the blood in my veins to ice.Alaric did not hesitate. He stepped forward, his body instinctively moving to shield me and Maia, his eyes locking onto the child with a mixture of horror and protective fury. Even without his memories, the predator in him recognised a threat. He didn't know why he felt the need to protect this child, nor did he remember the nightmare of the Glass Labyrinth, but his biological drive to safeguard his own was still pulsing through his veins."What is
The Billionaire's Unwanted wife Chapter 60: The Stranger in the Mirror
The silence that followed Alaric’s question was a jagged, physical thing. I stood there, shivering and exposed, my skin still humming from the heat of a passion he no longer remembered. I wanted to scream, to shake him, to claw at his skin until the man who had promised to burn the world for me returned. But as I looked into his eyes, I saw the truth. The sea-green fire was gone, replaced by a polite, distant clarity. He was no longer my Alaric; he was a version of himself that had never known the agony of the vaults, the thrill of the chase, or the obsessive, soul-consuming love he had felt for me."You... you don't remember?" I whispered, my voice a broken, fragile thing."I'm afraid not," he replied, his voice smooth and cultured, devoid of the jagged, raw edge that had always defined him. He looked at me with a flicker of concern, but it was the concern one might feel for a beautiful stranger in distress. "I remember my name. I remember the general outline of my life. But I have n
The Billionaire's Unwanted wife Chapter 59: The Labyrinth of Oblivion
The air in the nursery felt like it had been sucked out by a vacuum, leaving only the cold, sterile residue of the Origin’s game. I stared at Alaric, my heart fracturing in a way that felt physical, a jagged tear through the center of my soul. The idea that he would willingly erase the memory of us, that he would walk into the world as a man who didn't know the scent of my skin or the sound of my voice, was a horror that eclipsed every other monster we had faced."No," I whispered, my voice a broken, breathless plea. "Alaric, I can't let you do that. I can't be the only one who remembers. I can't look at you and see a stranger."He didn't argue. He didn't try to soothe me with words. Instead, he pulled me into him, his grip an absolute, possessive claim that left no room for doubt. He pressed me against his chest, his heart hammering a frantic, rhythmic beat that seemed to be counting down the seconds of our shared existence. He kissed me then, and it wasn't the kiss of a man preparin
The Billionaire's Unwanted wife Chapter 58: The Debt of the Innocent
The words hit Alaric like a physical blow. He didn't just stand up; he exploded from the floor, his movement a blur of raw, predatory instinct. The relief of the previous moment vanished, replaced by a cold, singular fury that made the air in the library feel like it was freezing. He didn't ask how or where; he simply lunged toward Maia, his gaze a storm of sea-green rage."Where was she?" Alaric roared, his voice shaking the mahogany shelves. "Maia, tell me exactly where she was!"Maia was trembling, her face a mask of absolute horror. "I was in the nursery, Alaric. I only stepped away for a second to get a bottle. When I turned around, the room was empty. No struggle, no sound, no one. Just a single, black feather resting on the sheet."The mention of the feather sent a jolt of ice through my veins. I remembered the same black, oily residue the Origin had left behind. The "debt" he had spoken of was not a metaphorical one. He hadn't come for our souls or our money; he had come for t
