~ ISLA ~

The contractions hit me hard and fast on a crisp autumn evening, mirroring the suddenness of the life-changing storms we had fought through.

Hours later, in the sterile yet bright delivery room of Northgate Hospital, a sharp, piercing cry echoed through the air.

A healthy baby girl.

When the nurses gently placed her tiny, warm form against my chest, my breath hitched, and tears streamed down my face. She had Alistair's dark, thick hair and a quiet, serene intensity in her little eyes.

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 244 — Isla…

    ~ ISLA ~Night descended over the city in a sweep of glittering lights, bringing a crisp evening chill that contrasted sharply with the golden warmth of our private dining room.After our quiet afternoon gathering in Alistair’s hospital suite, the Vitale and Montgomery families—along with our closest friends—had migrated to an exclusive restaurant uptown to continue celebrating Iris’s fourth birthday. The private hall was decorated with soft pastel balloons and cascading floral centerpieces. Iris sat proudly at the head of the main table, looking every bit like a little princess in her fluffy pink velvet dress and sparkling tiara. She was surrounded by a mountain of wrapped boxes, custom toys, and affection from every corner of the room.Dad was currently attempting to teach her how to stack her new set of wooden building blocks, while Grandma Margot sat beside them, offering dry, imperious commentary on his structural technique. Across the table, Stacy and Tyler were laughing over an

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 243 — Everyone Is Home

    ~ ISLA~Time slipped through our fingers, turning months into years.And I kept the promise I made to Alistair. Over the next three years of taking over the corporate world, the Montgomery Empire flourished not just across America, but also around the globe—all thanks to Grandma Margot's guidance and Evan's dedication as the new President and COO of the Montgomery Group.It wasn't easy leading such a massive conglomerate while raising my daughter and ensuring I didn't miss a single moment as she grew. I had to balance boardrooms with bedtime stories, letting the memory of Alistair drive every ambition.After three long years, the private executive suite at Manhattan Northgate Hospital looked less like a medical room and more like a warm home. Iris had already started kindergarten when she turned three, and most of her drawings and tiny achievements were framed and hung neatly on the wall. She specifically requested it, wanting her Daddy to see them the moment he woke up. Our little gi

She had Alistair's dark, thick hair and a quiet, serene intensity in her little eyes. I named her Iris—a symbol of new colors and hope after the long, dark rain.Yet, even as I held our daughter for the very first time, the bittersweet ache in my heart remained. Three months had passed, but Alistair was still asleep. How wonderful it would be if he were here—able to hold the child we had anticipated for so long.After being transferred to a spacious, sunlit maternity suite on the executive floor, I didn't have to wait long before the door began to swing open. Word of little Iris’

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 241 — Everyone's Happy Ending

    Weeks drifted by like a slow, quiet river, carrying us steadily toward the full winter months. Despite the passing of time, the white sheets of Alistair’s hospital room remained unchanged.He still hadn't woken up.The doctors continued to monitor his vitals with careful precision, calling his condition stable yet stubbornly unchanged. But I refused to let the silence of the room deter me. Whenever I had a free afternoon, I would make the familiar drive across the city, sliding quietly into the chair beside his bed. I would brush back his dark hair, wrap my warm fingers around his motionless hand, and talk to him about everything. I told him about the shifting weather outside, about how the baby was kicking with restless energy, and about how much we all needed him to come back. I took care of him just as fiercely as he had once protected me, clinging to the willful belief that somewhere deep inside the darkness, he could still hear my voice.Outside the walls of that quiet hospital r

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 240 — Ashes, Hope, and New Beginnings

    ~ ISLA ~One week after Grandma Margot’s discharge, a final, quiet tremor rocked our world. It arrived not with violence, but with the heavy, solemn stillness of total closure.I was sitting in the sunny living room of Uncle Richard’s villa, sipping warm chamomile tea while Mom folded baby clothes across from me. Grandma Ruth was in the kitchen, humming softly to herself as she prepared a light morning broth.A soft knock at the door signaled a familiar arrival. When Mom opened it, Dad stepped inside, carrying a bakery box of fresh morning pastries. He had been visiting us almost every day since my discharge—never overstepping, never demanding, just offering his quiet, constant presence.As I watched him step into the foyer, his dark eyes instantly searched for Mom. I knew they hadn't officially reconciled into a full romance yet, but the cold wall between them had completely dissolved, replaced by a gentle, tentative harmony that grew sweeter with every shared morning."Good morning,

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 239 — Leaving The Past Where It Belongs

    ~ ISLA ~A few days passed in a blur of quiet recovery, sharp adjustments, and emotional restoration. With astonishing resilience that stunned her medical team, Grandma Margot finally cleared her medical charts. She shook off the lingering shadows of her seven-month coma with the stubborn grit that had defined her entire life, securing her formal discharge from Northgate Hospital.I was right by her side the entire way, helping her settle into the back seat of the car and steadying her steps whenever her frail knees betrayed her. Even now, walking alongside the legendary matriarch who had once ruled the state's corporate landscape with an iron fist, a quiet sense of disbelief still lingered in my chest. Life had thrown the most unimaginable plot twists our way, tearing down everything we thought we knew, exposing decades of malice, and rewriting the ground beneath our feet.Yet, amidst the rubble of those devastating truths, what filled my heart with a profound, overwhelming warmth wa
