~ ISLA ~

The rhythmic hum of the train filled the quiet cabin, a soft reminder that I was leaving the city behind.

Rows of trees blurred past the window, their autumn leaves scattering like faint memories I was still holding onto.

On the seat beside me rested a small box of red velvet cake and a neatly wrapped present—Grandma’s favorite scarf and a small photo frame I found at the store earlier.

I couldn’t wait to see her face light up once I told her about my residency at the hospital.

  • 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

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 231 — In the Hands of Fate

    ~ ISLA ~The moment I arrived at the hospital, the air entering my lungs felt clear and unburdened.The emergency toxicology team immediately ran tests on my blood and later confirmed that Simon's synthetic toxin had been completely neutralized by the antidote. And by some incredible miracle, it hadn't affected the baby in my womb. The compound had been engineered solely to target central cardiac muscle receptors without crossing the placental barrier.My mother sat beside my hospital bed, analyzing the raw lab reports with precision before looking up at me, her eyes glistening with hope."The baby is perfectly fine, sweetie," she whispered, her voice choked with emotion. "The fetal heart rate is strong. The toxin didn't touch our little one."Hearing those words brought a rush of profound relief—though it was quickly overshadowed by a dark, chilling realization.Simon had been evil, obsessed, and entirely unhinged. He had used that toxin as a ruthless bargaining chip to force Alistai

  • 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 s

  • 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

    ~ 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
