~ ISLA ~

I turned at the sound of my name and saw Tyler walking down the hallway with his usual smooth, easy stride.

His hands were casually slipped into his pockets, while that familiar warm smile softened his already handsome features.

“Mr. Grant,” I greeted in a warm and polite tone. “I didn’t expect to see you here.”

He stopped a few steps away, pulling one hand from his pocket to rub the back of his neck sheepishly.

“I was hoping to run into you, actually.”

That caught me off guard. “You w

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 230 — Race Against Death

    ~ ISLA ~My voice broke into a shattered, raw sob against his chest, the agony of his unmoving body tearing me apart from the inside out.Every breath felt like inhaling crushed glass, my chest burning as the poison continued its slow, merciless march toward my heart. But more than that, it was the harsh truth of Alistair leaving me forever—the pain was unbearable, making it even harder to breathe and live.Right on cue, another violent, searing contraction seized my chest. My lungs locked up completely. The air vanished from my throat, and a blinding wave of dizziness forced my head down against Alistair’s shoulder. I couldn't breathe. The darkness at the edges of my vision rushed inward, threatening to drag me under into the eternal quiet.No. Wake up. Fight.As my world spun into a sickening blur, a tiny metallic sound broke through the roaring ringing in my ears.Clang.It was faint, but distinct. I forced my heavy, tear-blurred eyes open, weakly turning my head toward the sound.

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 229 — The Final Stand

    ~ ALISTAIR ~Before the echo of his voice could even fade against the concrete walls, my weapon was already whipped up, leveling a dead-center bead right between Simon’s eyes."You sick, twisted bastard!" I snarled, every muscle in my body vibrating with absolute fury. "Take another step and I'll blow your brains across this floor."Simon didn't flinch in the slightest. He only let out a dark, low chuckle, his hands resting casually inside his pockets as he strolled deeper into the room. "Take it easy, Alistair. Guns inside a sealed medical suite are messy. And right now, you're in no position to make demands."My eyes narrowed sharply as I followed his every movement. Simon was no fool. He wouldn't simply walk in here facing my drawn gun without an ace up his sleeve."What did you do to her?!" I snapped, my voice cracking with a raw, terrifying edge. My bloodshot eyes burned with murderous intent.Simon stopped in the center of the room, his gaze sliding down to Isla, who lay limp an

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 228 — Reunited but Cornered

    ~ ISLA ~"Shh... quiet. It's me," a deep, low voice rasped directly against my ear.The moment those words echoed through the dark, my entire body reacted. My heart didn't freeze in fear—it soared. My senses instantly recognized the undeniable warmth of his hands, the commanding, familiar force of his grip, and the faint natural scent of mint and cedar that belonged to only one man in this world.A single tear spilled over my lashes, hot against my cheek, as his name slipped past my lips in a trembling breath. "Alistair..."The dim yellow lighting of the bathroom flickered on above us. When I looked up, his striking face instantly filled my vision. His eagle-like eyes burned down into mine with an intensity so fierce that it took my breath away—raw, possessive, and thick with a dark, dangerous relief.I didn't wait another second. I threw my arms around his waist, burying my face into his sturdy chest, clinging to him as if he were the only solid thing in a world spinning out of contr

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 227 — The Air Duct Entry

    ~ ALISTAIR ~"Dammit, Evan! What the hell are you doing?!" I growled through my teeth, my back slammed against the cold steel frame of the biometric door. The security alarms blared and red lights flashed across the entire facility the moment he tried bypassing the security code."I—I'm trying, Sir!" Evan's voice shook over the comms, the frantic clatter of his keyboard echoing in my ear. "I attempted a brute-force override on the sub-node, but Simon’s system is stacked with dead-man triggers! The moment my code hit the secondary firewall, it tripped an automated intrusion lock!""I don't give a damn about his firewalls! You just broadcast our exact location to the entire facility!"Rage burned behind my eyes—a silent, suffocating fury. Isla was right on the other side of this metal slab. If Simon realized we were pinned outside her wing, he wouldn't hesitate to execute her or inject her with that toxic formula before I could even reach her."I'm sorry, Sir! It's a hard-coded physica

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 226 — Execution

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The low hum of the subterranean ventilation system vibrated through the floorboards as we crept along the sub-level service corridor.My weapon was raised, scanning the dim, industrial shadows ahead. In a hostile compound like this, carrying a firearm at a low ready isn't enough; every corner could conceal one of Simon's mercenaries, and split seconds dictate who survives. My index finger rested lightly against the exterior frame of the trigger guard—keeping my finger safely off the firing mechanism to prevent an accidental discharge while remaining ready to snap into a lethal shot at a fraction of a second's notice.To the rest of the corporate world, I was just Alistair Montgomery—the ruthless CEO who spent his life behind a desk, moving billions with a single phone call. But power in our world was never maintained through wealth alone. From the moment I was old enough to understand the dangerous weight of my family’s name, my father ensured I was trained for every wors

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 225 — The Mother's Bargain

    ~ SIMON ~A few moments later, the door of my office swung open, and Dr. Allison Reed stepped inside.Her posture was rigid under her crisp lab coat, but I could see the underlying tension in the tight set of her shoulders and the dark circles under her eyes. She carried a leather-bound medical folder tucked tightly beneath her arm.I didn't bother offering her a seat. I simply sat back in my chair, steepled my fingers, and watched her walk toward my desk with an amused, sarcastic smile playing on my lips."Dr. Reed," I said, my voice was smooth and dripping with cold mockery. "To what do I owe the honor of this late-night meeting? I assumed you were in the lab preparing the neural compound for tonight's procedure."Allison stopped a few feet from my desk. She didn't flinch under my gaze. Instead, she placed the medical file squarely on the marble surface and met my eyes with an unwavering, icy focus."The current formula for the memory-wiping compound is dangerously flawed, Dr. Ellis
