last update publish date: 2025-11-02 16:23:13

~ ALISTAIR ~

The meeting dragged longer than it should’ve, but the moment it ended, I loosened my tie and exhaled sharply from sheer fatigue and annoyance.

I could already feel the dull throb behind my temples—another day wasted arguing with greedy people who cared more about profits than vision.

Rachel intercepted me the moment I stepped out of the boardroom.

“Sir,” she began cautiously, “Mrs. Montgomery dropped by earlier.”

I paused mid-step. “Isla?”

“Yes, sir. She said she wanted to see you

    ~ ALISTAIR ~I didn’t care what five high-tech laboratory machines printed out on those papers. I didn’t care that ten of the best geneticists in New York had looked me in the eye and delivered the same sentence.I refused to accept that Antonio Vitale’s blood ran through my veins. The math of it was too convenient. The timing was too sharp. My mother had spent thirty years letting hatred rot her from the inside out, obsessed with destroying Vitale and anyone related to him. A woman who had faked her own death and built a life in the shadows didn't just leave things to chance.She had done something. She had engineered this nightmare to drag us all to hell with her, and if anyone knew the truth behind this biological curse, it was the monster who created it.That was why I was standing outside the high-security holding facility, breathing in the stale, damp air of the underground interrogation wing. The heavy iron door groaned on its hinges as the guard unlocked it.Inside, the once-f

    ~ ALISTAIR ~My vision blurred, dark spots dancing at the edges as the bold, ruthless words on the paper stared back at me.Anger and sheer desperation tangled brutally in my chest, threatening to burst out of me like an explosion. My brain refused to process the cruel reality. How was this possible? How could Isla and I turn out to be siblings? How could the woman who held my entire heart, my soul, and my future share the exact same blood as me?Without realizing it, my hands tightened around the document. The thick paper crumpled, tearing down the middle under the pressure of my trembling grip. My eyes darted up, locking onto Dr. Williams with a lethal, desperate glare."Did you do this right?" my voice scraped out, raw and thick with rising hysteria. "Are you sure of this?"Henry stepped forward, his expression grave and deeply solemn."I watched over the lab myself, Alistair," he confirmed softly, his voice heavy with grief. "I repeated the test three times just to make sure there

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The grand banquet had ended in absolute ruin.The moment Isla collapsed in my arms, the noise of the crowd, the flashing cameras, and the whispers vanished completely. Nothing else mattered except the pale, delicate weight of the woman I loved in my arms.I didn't wait for security or an ambulance. I carried her straight out of the ballroom to my car and sped to the hospital, with Allison and Vitale following right behind us.Now, the sharp smell of disinfectant filled the quiet VIP room.I stood beside Isla's bed, staring down at her pale face. Her breathing was steady now, her hand warm beneath mine, but the color hadn't fully returned to her skin.Turning to the physician beside me, I asked in a low, tight voice, "How is she? Is the baby safe?"The attending doctor checked the monitors one last time before looking up at me, his expression grim."She and the baby are stable for now, having survived the immediate shock, but her condition is extremely fragile," the doctor

    ~ ISLA ~The silence in the grand hall was so terrifying that I could hear the faint, uneven rhythm of my shallow breathing. The world felt like it was crumbling into dust right before my eyes.Siblings? Brother and sister? The words spun endlessly in my head, turning my mind into a suffocating, chaotic fog.Before I could even process the horror twisting in my gut, a dark, heavy shadow moved past us. My father crossed the distance between the podium and the guards in long, explosive strides. His face was a mask of murderous wrath—a storm so powerful that the guests nearby scrambled backward in terror. Without a second of hesitation, he reached out and seized Harriet’s jaw, his broad fingers digging into her skin with immense, crushing force."What did you just say?" my father snarled, his voice dropping into a dangerous, gravelly register that shook the air around them. "Say it again. I dare you."Despite his excruciating grip, Harriet didn't even wince. She didn't bat an eyelid, nor

    ~ ISLA ~ The entire hall seemed to tilt on its axis as the owner of that voice stepped out from the shadows from the far end of the crowd and moved into the bright light. A heavy, stunned silence fell over the place as people began recognizing who she was. It was Rebecca. My heart pounded rapidly as I watched her walk over at an unhurried pace. Her head was held high, but her skin had a sickly, pale tone that made her look utterly exhausted. I hadn't seen her in a while—not since Alistair kicked her out of the Montgomery Group. The last time I caught a glimpse of her was in the parking lot, when she and my mother were talking seriously. Now, the reason for their discreet meeting finally came to light. The arrogant posture that Rebecca usually carried was gone, replaced by a hollow desperation. I couldn't understand why she was here, let alone why she was speaking up for my mother. This was the same woman who had tried to ruin Alistair before. So why was she suddenly standing bes

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 198 — Truth Unleashed

    ~ ISLA ~Harriet’s face drained of every last drop of color, turning ashen under the harsh glare of the crystal chandeliers.For a long, agonizing second, she stood frozen, staring at my mother as if her mind simply refused to process the living, breathing woman standing just feet away from her. The grand entrance had fallen into a tomb-like quiet. Nobody dared to move. Nobody even seemed to breathe.Then, the shock on Harriet’s face fractured, slowly twisting into a raw, ugly rage that deformed her polished features into something terrifying."How dare you...!" Harriet snarled, her voice raspy and trembling violently as she tried to pull against the heavy, immovable grip of the security guards. "How dare you show your disgusting face here after everything?!"My mother didn't even shrink back. She stood with her hands casually tucked into the deep pockets of her long beige coat, her shoulders relaxed and her posture utterly unbothered. There was no tremor in her body, no flicker of fe
