~ ISLA ~

A group of renowned stylists arrived just as Anna said—each moving with quiet coordination, arranging makeup palettes, brushes, curling irons, and other necessary tools to be used for dolling me up.

I sat before the big vanity, trying to appear composed while several hands worked on me at once. Someone brushed foundation over my skin, another styled my hair into soft, flowing waves, while another adjusted the small details of my sapphire-blue gown.

It was surreal.

“Madam, you look absolutely breathtaking,” one of the stylists gasped softly, pulling me back to the present.

I opened my eyes.

The reflection in the mirror made me pause.

For a heartbeat, I didn’t recognize the woman staring back. The gown hugged my frame perfectly—elegant and ethereal—shimmering subtly with each breath I took. My hair fell in soft waves over one shoulder, and the delicate jewelry on my neck, which Alistair had bought along with this gown, gleamed faintly like frost under moonlight.

  • The Billionaire's Uwanted Wife    Chapter 42 — The Scandal

    ~ ISLA ~Alistair didn’t take me back to the hospital.He drove straight home. And during the entire ride, silence cloaked the air. His jaw was locked tightly as his eyes fixed on the road.Was he really angry? Why? I didn’t understand his behavior, to be honest.The air between us grew sharper by the second—enough to cut through—yet I couldn’t bring myself to say a word.What happened in the car still haunted me. My lips still tingled from his kiss—the intensity of it, the warmth and softness of his lips...My chest felt tight, torn between anger and something I didn’t dare to recognize. His words replayed in my head over and over, each syllable striking deep.‘No one else touches what’s mine…’MINE.The claim rattled through me, confusing and suffocating all at once.When the car finally rolled to a stop in the underground garage of Tribeca Heights, I exhaled shakily—just realizing I’d been holding my breath the whole time.Alistair stepped out first without glancing my way.

  • The Billionaire's Uwanted Wife    CHAPTER 41 — Her Poisoned Oath

    ~ LIANA ~The moment Alistair stormed into that restaurant, I nearly exploded with burning anger and jealousy.But when I saw him dragging Isla out with that stormy expression, my lips curled at the edges. Finally, she would be humiliated in front of everyone, and I was there to witness it.I’d been itching to lash back at her after everything, to vent my hatred—but I forced myself to hold back. Society has always known me as the good and graceful young lady of the Bennett family. And I intend to keep it that way.I will make sure Isla always stays in my shadow.Stacey, however, completely burst out when she saw Isla and Tyler together. She trembled with rage the entire time, nails digging into her palms from clenching them tightly.Earlier, one of my people tipped me off that Tyler made a surprise visit to Isla in the hospital and even invited her to lunch. So I had someone follow him and I also invited Stacey here. The plan was perfect.She almost made a scene, but I stopped her and

    ~ ISLA ~He sat down beside me without a flicker of hesitation, his tall frame radiating a quiet dominance. His expression was colder than ever, and the warm ambience of the restaurant immediately turned into an ice cave.He didn’t even look at me. Instead, his cold gaze slid straight to Tyler across the table.“Hello, cousin.” His low, deep voice rang through my ears.My jaw dropped. Cousin? Tyler and he were cousins?Tyler’s warm smile faltered, a genuine shock flashing across his face too as he looked at Alistair.My mind went completely blank. I stared between them, words tumbling out before I could stop myself.“C-Cousin? Wait, are you… you’re related to each other?” My voice cracked embarrassingly, but I couldn’t care less.Tyler was the first to recover. The shock melted from his features, replaced by that easy, effortless composure of his. He leaned back against the booth, lips quirking with a half-smile.“Unfortunately,” he answered in a half-teasing tone, his gaze flicking

    ~ ISLA ~By the time my shift ended, I was already exhausted. I slumped against my chair, staring blankly at the charts piled on my desk.Being a doctor is truly draining. If not for the fact that I treasured this job so much, I would’ve collapsed a long time ago. But every time I see patients who need my help more than I can even give myself, I find another reason to continue my calling—to save lives.I closed my eyes for a moment and leaned back, trying to replenish some energy.But it only lasted a few seconds before my phone buzzed on the desk.A new message flashed across the screen.I picked it up and opened the text.> This is Tyler. I’m already waiting at Le Jardin Étoilé.I blinked at it, stunned.If he hadn’t reminded me, I probably would’ve forgotten about it.Everyone knew that name. Le Jardin Étoilé wasn’t just a restaurant—it was one of the most exclusive fine dining places in New York City. The kind of place where celebrities, politicians, and magnates dined without bei

  • The Billionaire's Uwanted Wife    CHAPTER 38 — An Unexpected Invitation

    ~ ISLA ~For a moment, my mind went blank.The man standing in the doorway wasn’t just handsome. He was familiar. Very familiar, actually.That sharp jawline, those beautiful green eyes, and the easy confidence in his smile—I had seen that face countless times on magazine covers, billboards, and television screens.The one and only Tyler Grant.Hollywood’s golden star. The man who could make entire arenas scream with a single grin. And the same man we had operated on for a brain tumor just weeks ago.My breath hitched. As in—it really faltered for many seconds!No wonder the entire office was buzzing—and half of them looked like they were ready to faint.“Hello, Dr. Bennett,” he greeted softly, a gentle smile spread on his gorgeous face.He strode into the room smoothly, unbothered by the many eyes watching us.He wore a crisp white shirt tucked neatly into his tailored charcoal trousers, topped with a dark coat—giving him an air of quiet sophistication. This was the first time I had
