~ 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 237 — The Matriarch's Return

    ~ ISLA~The car sped through the chilly New York streets, tires hissing against the damp asphalt as Dad navigated toward Northgate Hospital with skilled urgency.Sitting in the backseat, my hands remained gently pressed over my rounded belly, though my mind was racing miles ahead. The sudden phone call from the hospital still echoed in my ears. Lady Margot was awake.As the city lights blurred past the window, a quiet wave of realization washed over me. For the longest time, I had only known Margot Montgomery through the lens of fear and respect. She was the formidable, uncompromising matriarch who had orchestrated my contract marriage to Alistair—a woman the business world whispered about with bated breath. But behind that ruthless exterior, I had learned a different truth during the months we lived under the same roof. To the people she claimed as her own, she wasn't a tyrant at all. She was fiercely protective, deeply loyal, and capable of a fierce, unconditional warmth. She had ev

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 236 — Morning Light and Miracle

    ~ ISLA ~The morning sun cast a pale, gentle light as it pierced through the hospital window, cutting the chill of the approaching winter.After all the chaos and restless nights, I was finally being discharged. My movements were slow as I packed my things inside the private suite. Mom was right beside me, folding extra clothes and placing them neatly into a small suitcase. She kept a close, watchful eye on me, her expression a mix of care and quiet concern."I won't allow you to go back to Tribeca Heights alone,” she said firmly, pausing with a sweater in her hands. "Alistair’s condition is still unstable, and you can't be by yourself right now. You're getting closer to your due date—you'll be in labor in just a few months. You are coming with me to Richard's villa."I looked down at my bump and placed my hands gently over my belly. Two more months to go, and I would finally see my little one. How I wished Alistair could be there with me. I wished and prayed he would wake up soon. I

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 235 — I Will Wait For You

    ~ ALLISON ~Winter was approaching, and a cold breeze had started grazing the entirety of New York City.The moment we stepped away from the grim gates of the sanitarium, the chilly air greeted us instead of a warm afternoon sun—but I barely felt it. My mind was an absolute battlefield. I didn't even know how I had ended up in Antonio’s car.Inside his luxurious vehicle, the silence was suffocating. I stayed quiet in my seat while I faced the window, looking out aimlessly. And so did he on the other side.Instead of heading straight back to the hospital or Richard's villa where I was staying, he drove us deep into midtown, parking quietly outside a secluded, warm-lit café that had only a few customers enjoying a quiet afternoon. Without a word, he guided me inside to a corner booth, shielding us from the rest of the world.I didn't have the energy to argue with him. I was too exhausted, too mentally drained to put up a fight. My thoughts kept looping back to Harriet—to the terrifying

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 234 — Dying Alone in the Dark

    ~ ALLISON ~Harriet purred, her tone dripping with fake elegance. "You're looking remarkably well for a woman whose life just fell apart, Allison. Tell me, how does the air taste outside?"I stood calmly at the edge of the table, resting my hands lightly over my handbag, matching her venomous words with icy composure. "Cleaner, Harriet. Now that you're locked in a cage where you belong."She let out a soft, amused hum, leaning back in her chair and crossing her legs. The elegance in her every move was still there. "Ah, still holding onto that quiet dignity, aren't you? Did you come all this way just to gloat, or did you miss the sound of my voice?""I came to look at the pathetic creature who traded her life for a delusion," I replied smoothly, a faint, mocking smile touching my lips. "I wanted to see how comfortable you look in gray."The playful mockery in Harriet’s eyes vanished, replaced by sudden, razor-sharp malice. She leaned forward, resting her elbows on the cold steel table.

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 233 — Facing the Puppet Master

    ~ ALLISON ~I didn't leave Isla's bedside until the sheer exhaustion of the day finally claimed her. Her breathing gradually slowed, and the quiet, restless tossing of her body faded as deep sleep took over.I reached down and gently brushed a stray lock of hair from her damp forehead before pressing a soft, lingering kiss onto her skin."Rest, my brave girl," I whispered, pulling the blanket higher over her shoulders.I slipped out of the VIP suite as quietly as a ghost, pulling the heavy door shut behind me. But the moment I turned, I froze. Antonio was standing right there in the quiet corridor, leaning against the opposite wall with his arms crossed over his chest. His dark eyes caught mine instantly. He looked drained, the harsh shadows under his eyes betraying the storm raging inside him, but there was an unmistakable urgency in his gaze as he pushed off the wall and stepped toward me."Allison," he began, his voice low and raspy. "Can we talk? Privately.”I didn't even break my

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 232 — Swapped Bloodline

    ~ ISLA ~The moment I came out of the ICU and Mom saw my weak state, she immediately supported me, her arm wrapped firmly around my waist as my knees shook with every step.The thick glass doors slid shut behind us, cutting off the rhythmic, mechanical hum of Alistair’s life support, but the image of his still, pale face stayed burned into my mind.She led me back down the quiet hallway and into a private VIP room on the same floor. The room was softly lit, free of the harsh glare of the trauma bay, but the quiet only made my chest feel heavier."Sit down, sweetie," Mom murmured, helping me onto the edge of the bed.She pulled a warm blanket over my lap while Dad entered the room as well, standing near the door looking completely exhausted. Even though he hadn't shown anything on his face, I knew he was deeply worried about Alistair's condition. But what else could we do?Mom sat beside me, taking my cold hands into her palms and squeezing them."You need to breathe, honey," Mom said
