~ ISLA ~

Three days.

That was how long it had been since I was discharged from the hospital. And honestly, I was bored out of my mind.

I lay on the couch in the living room, one arm resting over my stomach as I stared at the ceiling. The house was too quiet—the kind of quiet that made time feel slower than it actually was.

Physically, I was doing well. The doctor said my recovery was smooth, and the baby was stable. That alone should have been enough to put me at ease.

But staying at home all d

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 217 — One Hour

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The darkness did not fade easily. It pulled me down into a cold, deep abyss where past and present bled into one another, smashing together like glass meeting concrete.Fire. Heat. The deafening, metallic roar of an explosion. Images flickered rapidly behind my eyes—not from the burning wreck outside Manhattan Medical Hospital, but from that collapsing building on Staten Island months ago. The smell of ash and ozone filled my throat. And then, like a dam suddenly bursting under a massive tidal wave, the heavy fog that had shrouded my mind for months shattered into pieces.Isla… Her smile, radiant under the morning light. Her gentle laugh echoing through the halls of our home. The warmth of her hand sliding into mine on the day we walked along the beach. Every single memory—every forgotten detail, every touch, every sacred promise—flooded back into my brain with overwhelming clarity.My eyes snapped open.I gasped for air as white ceiling tiles swam into view under the har

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 216 — Broken World

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The light rain battered the roof of the Maybach as we sped back toward the Montgomery Group headquarters.Staring out the tinted window at the bustling streets, the quiet inside the car felt agonizingly heavy. My mind wasn't there—it had always been with Isla."Sir," Evan spoke softly from the front seat, his voice breaking the silence. "Our legal counsel has just confirmed... Madam has signed the papers. The divorce is officially finalized."I didn't utter a single word. I stayed completely still, but inside, I was utterly wrecked. Our marriage... it was over. The sacred bond we had fought so hard to keep was dissolved by a few strokes of a pen.My fingers tightened around the phone resting in my palm. The rage and unbearable grief surging through my veins gathered into a brutal, crushing grip. The glass screen shattered with a sharp, violent crunch under my hand. Tiny shards pierced my skin, and warm blood began to ooze from my palm, dripping slowly onto my tailored tro

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 215 — Go To Hell

    ~ ALISTAIR ~My intelligence team worked relentlessly through the night, cross-referencing surveillance footage, satellite imagery, and black-market shipping manifests to track every possible lead tied to Simon. But every single path led to a dead end.By sunrise, I took matters into my own hands. I went low-key, personally tailing Simon from the shadows to monitor his movements. But damn it, I hadn't expected him to be so careful. His daily routine hadn't changed by a single second. He drove to the hospital, conducted his rounds, met with patients, and reviewed medical charts—acting every bit the dedicated, unbothered doctor. His public persona was entirely pristine, masking the monster lurking underneath.A toxic mixture of frustration and impatience burned in my chest. No matter how many resources I poured into bypassing Simon's security or tracking his hidden network, his tracks remained completely clean.Sitting in the back of my parked car outside Northgate Hospital, I stared ou

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 214 — A Billion-Dollar Truth

    ~ ALISTAIR ~ The floor-to-ceiling obsidian paneling of the Velvet Vault—the most exclusive, off-the-books private lounge I owned in New York City—slid open without making a sound. Sitting at the far end of the private suite, Robbie Davis was already waiting. The moment I stepped into the room, his face lit up immediately—a wide, greedy smile spreading across his lips like a man who believed he had just caught a whale in the open sea. "Mr. Montgomery! What a pleasant surprise," Davis greeted formally, standing up slightly to offer a polite bow. I didn't acknowledge his greeting. I didn't offer a smile, a handshake, or a single word. Instead, I strode forward, pulled out the leather armchair directly across from him, and smoothly took my seat. I crossed one leg over the other, leaning back against the cushion, watching him like a sovereign passing judgment on a peasant. Davis cleared his throat awkwardly, settling back into his chair as he tried once more to strike up a conversation

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 213 — The Final Sentence

    ~ ISLA ~Emery’s eyes widened in panic as she looked up at the towering figure holding her wrist. The color drained completely from her face, her violent fury vanishing into thin air."A–Alistair..." she stuttered, her voice trembling.Before she could squeeze out another word, Alistair twisted her wrist and shoved her away with brutal force. Emery hit the floor hard, her expensive heels sliding across the polished tiles as she landed in a pathetic heap near the doorway."Alistair!" Emery gasped, staring up at him in utter disbelief as she clutched her bruised wrist. She looked at him with wide, tear-filled eyes, instantly shifting into her victim persona. "Why would you do that to me?! Look at what she did! She threw hot tea directly in my face! My skin is burning!"She gestured frantically to her cheek, where the delicate skin was already turning a deep, angry red and forming small, painful blisters. "I came here to talk to her civilly, and she attacked me! I was only trying to defe

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 212 — Boiling Point

    ~ ALISTAIR ~I tore through the heavy glass doors of The Sovereign, the cold night air hitting my face like a slap. My chest burned with a furious heat that threatened to devour every shred of restraint I had left.Of course I got his riddle. Simon wasn't just playing innocent; he was openly taunting me, daring me to look closer. The subtle, dangerous malice in his eyes confirmed every terrifying doubt creeping into my mind. My suspicions were becoming real. The man I had treated like a brother for years—the quiet, noble doctor—was a complete stranger. Simon was far more dangerous than anyone had ever realized, hiding a cold, sociopathic monster beneath an immaculate white coat.I slammed the car door shut as I climbed into the driver's seat, pulling my tie completely free and throwing it onto the seat beside me while dialing Evan."Is it done?" I demanded into my phone the second Evan picked up.Before stepping foot inside that lounge earlier, I had already instructed him to run a co
