~ ISLA ~

Days passed. I stopped counting after the third.

The hospital had always been my entire world. The steady beeping of machines, the hurried footsteps in the hallway, the faint smell of antiseptic in the air—everything blended into a dull, endless routine.

But it felt different this time. Because at the center of it all… was Alistair. He hadn’t woken up yet. He was still lying on the hospital bed, unconscious.

I rarely left his side. I stayed by his bed, watching the slow rise and fal

Hello dear readers! First of all, I want to apologize for leaving you hanging for three days. I've been feeling down lately and struggling to write new episodes. I don't want to force it so I took some rest for a while. Now I'm on track again, and since I'm not doing anything this week, I will try my best to write more episodes for you 😊 Thank you for your patience and love for this story. I so much appreciate it 🤍

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 153 — Not Good Enough

    ~ ISLA ~When I woke up the next morning, the space beside me was already empty.The curtains had been slightly pulled open, allowing soft morning light to spill quietly inside the bedroom. I remained lying there for a few seconds, staring at the ceiling while trying to shake off the heaviness in my chest from yesterday.Alistair had probably left early.The thought didn’t surprise me anymore. He had been so busy these past few days, constantly dealing with one thing after another. Between his company, his mother, and whatever investigation he was secretly handling, it felt like his mind barely had room to rest.I slowly sat up and got ready before heading downstairs.The mansion was quieter as usual. Maybe Alistair's decision was right. Because if we were living together under the same roof with his mother, there would be no peace in this house for sure. But even with the current situation we have, I was still hoping that the bond between Alistair and his Mom would be restored.The m

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 152 — A Lie

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The person standing behind the door wasn’t the one I expected.She looked to be in her thirties, dressed neatly in a beige corporate suit, appearing smart and composed. Her hair was tied back cleanly, and there was a polite smile on her face as she looked at us.My brows drew tight. I turned my eyes toward Evan sharply. One look was enough for him to understand exactly what I meant.Evan straightened subtly before addressing the woman politely.“Good morning, Miss,” he returned the greeting professionally. “We’re looking for Professor George Morris. Does he live here?”The woman’s smile faltered very slightly. Not enough for most people to notice. But I did. Before she could answer, another voice echoed faintly from somewhere inside the house.“Lindsay, darling? Who is it?”The woman glanced over her shoulder immediately.“Mom,” she called back softly. “There are visitors here looking for Dad.”A few seconds later, another figure slowly came into view. An elderly woman ap

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 151 — I'm Not Frustrated Because Of You

    ~ ISLA ~The bedroom had grown quiet after everything that happened downstairs.Outside, the rain still hadn’t stopped. Water streamed endlessly against the glass while the gray evening sky slowly darkened over the city.I sat curled on the plush sofa near the windows, my hands resting loosely around the untouched cup of tea Anna had prepared earlier. The warmth from it had long disappeared, yet my thoughts remained tangled in the same place.Alistair said he would fix it.Just remembering those words made my chest tighten softly. I already knew what kind of man he was. Once he made a decision, nobody could easily change his mind—not even his own mother. And somehow, that thought made me feel both relieved and uneasy at the same time.A soft sound came from the doorway. I looked up immediately.Alistair stepped inside the bedroom while loosening the tie around his neck with one hand. His expression still carried the exhaustion from earlier, though the sharpness in his eyes eased sligh

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 150 – His Final Decision

    ~ ALISTAIR ~Evan informed me the moment my mother insisted on returning to Tribeca Heights after her discharge.The second I heard it, uneasiness settled heavily inside me. I already knew this wouldn’t end well. And I was right. Because as I stepped onto the second-floor living area, I saw my mother’s hand strike across Isla’s face. It was too late for me to stop her. The sound had already echoed sharply through the room.Isla staggered slightly from the force, one hand instinctively lifting toward her cheek while shock remained written all over her face. But when I saw the red mark slowly appearing against her skin, my blood boiled, and a dark rage snapped inside my chest.“Who gave you the right to hurt my wife?!” I growled, my voice slicing through the silence hard enough to freeze everyone in place.My mother turned toward me first. The anger on her face faltered instantly the second our eyes met.“Ali—” she uttered softly.But I didn't give her a shred of attention. I walked pas

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 149 — Unwanted

    ~ ISLA ~The mansion felt quiet and somehow a little bit comforting that afternoon.I was sitting in the second-floor living area near the floor-to-ceiling windows, a maternity book resting open on my lap while one hand stayed absentmindedly over my stomach. I had been trying to distract myself for the past few hours, but my thoughts kept circling back to what had happened at the hospital.I was still unsure what was going to happen to us in the future now that she was back.I released a deep sigh before going back to my reading. But my mind still floated somewhere else. I had reread the same sentence three times already—finally giving up, I lowered the book with another tired sigh.That was when I heard voices in the hallway. Then came the sound of the doors opening, followed almost immediately by a familiar voice.“Careful, Madam Harriet,” Martha said protectively.My body stiffened abruptly. The air left my lungs all at once, as if the room had suddenly lost pressure.The queen of

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 148 –Drawing The Line

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The morning had barely started, yet my patience was already running thin.A pile of untouched documents sat on my desk while the strong scent of black coffee floated heavily through the office, calming my nerves a little. The city skyline behind the glass walls was still gray and dull, just like yesterday.I loosened my tie slightly before signing another document with little interest. Sleep had barely touched me last night. Every time I closed my eyes, my mother’s words kept returning like an echo I couldn’t shut off.Leave Isla.Forget I have a mother.A bitter laugh nearly escaped me at the thought.The sharp sound of heels clicking against the marble floor pulled me away from my thoughts. Moments later, the office door opened without permission. I glowered at the sudden intrusion.Emery walked inside, carrying her usual composed smile and dressed elegantly, as always, as if she were going to a gala.I didn’t even bother hiding my irritation. “Who allowed you in?” I s
