~ ISLA ~

Did he really just leave like that?

That was the first thought that crossed my mind when I saw the empty space beside me.

Carefully, I sat up, wincing a little as a wave of pain shot through my muscles. Every part of me felt sore—especially down there. I grimaced, my face burning as the memories of last night came crashing back all at once.

My gaze drifted to where he had laid. The sheets were still neat, and even the pillow looked untouched—like nothing had ever happened.

But my chest knotted knowing he wasn’t here anymore.

How could he just leave like that after everything!?

I let out a sharp, irritated sigh before lifting the covers. My eyes landed on the faint red stain on the sheets and the subtle trace of what we did.

The sight made my whole face heated up. I bit my lip, stood slowly, and started stripping off the bedding—afraid, like a child who’d just done something terribly wrong.

After changing everything, I took a long, hot bath. The warmth soothed my sore muscles,

  • The Billionaire's Uwanted Wife    CHAPTER 66 — Gentle Ruin

    ~ ISLA ~The moment I kissed him back, Alistair’s breath grew heavier—devouring all my soft whimpers. It felt as though he could almost steal my soul with the intensity of his kiss.Every breath between us vanished. My hands were still clutching to his shirt like it was my last lifeline. Heaven knows how my knees turned to jelly; my mind was completely blown away.He tugged me closer until there was no space left between us. His hand moved with purpose, tracing the sensitive parts of me—each touch syncing perfectly with the rhythm of his lips on mine.That alone ignited the fire inside me. I was lost, dizzy, savoring every wild kiss he gave me.When he pulled back just slightly, his deep, magnetic voice whispered against my ear. “Still think I should leave?”My pulse was a mess, my mind a blur. But somehow, I managed to whisper back, “No.”To be honest, I didn’t even know what I was saying. I was completely out of my right mind, fighting the strange pull my body seemed to crave. I was

    ~ ISLA ~The party ended quietly.Grandma was still humming softly as she and Mrs. Cooper gathered the empty plates, while Alistair helped us tidy up. I didn’t argue with him anymore and just let him be—and secretly taking a short video of him while he was wiping the plates after Mrs. Cooper finished washing them.I was laughing silently, amused at how New York City’s famous CEO had completely turned into a different person tonight. Even with a simple chore, he was terrifyingly focused and meticulous.Technically, that was supposed to be my job, but he insisted on doing it. I was genuinely shocked when he offered to help. He’s Alistair Montgomery, okay? Would you ever imagine him doing house chores? That’s way beyond his usual formidable image.Grandma and Mrs. Cooper exchanged knowing looks from time to time, visibly amused to see him helping.When everything was finally organized, Mrs. Cooper said her goodbyes.The house fell into that kind of silence only small towns have at night—

    ~ ISLA ~The small gathering Grandma prepared was held in her backyard. The sun had already started to set when we finished setting the last dish.The air smelled like home—of roasted chicken, herbs, and the faint sweetness of the apple tree by the fence.It was just a simple dinner with a few of our close neighbors, but everything was well-prepared. Plates clinked, laughter spilled here and there, and Grandma fussed about the table arrangement as if the mayor himself were coming over.“Grandma, stop moving around so much,” I said, half-laughing as I helped adjust the tablecloth. “It’s your birthday. You’re supposed to be resting.”She waved me off. “Oh, nonsense. A birthday’s no excuse to sit like an old statue. Besides, I haven’t seen you this happy in a long time.”I smiled faintly. Mrs. Cooper came bustling in with her usual energy, carrying a bowl of salad.“There! That should be enough for everyone,” she announced proudly, setting it down.Just as we were about to start, the doo

    ~ 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 but left a few minutes later. I told her you were in a meeting.”A strange weight settled in my chest. “Did she say anything else?”Rachel shook her head. “No, sir. She just thanked me and left.”I didn’t reply. I just nodded once and kept walking toward my office, my mind spinning faster. Isla came here? For what? When she didn’t call, or even wait for me?When I pushed open my office door, the answer hit me like a blow.Emery sat on the couch, legs crossed, flipping through one of my business

  • The Billionaire's Uwanted Wife    CHAPTER 62 — The Woman In The Photograph

    ~ 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 air felt lighter as I thought of Lambertville—the slow streets, the familiar scent of bread from Mrs. Cooper’s bakery, and the sound of the river just behind Grandma’s house.It had always been my safe place, and today, I needed that peace more than ever.But just as I started to relax, my phone buzzed on the tray table.I unlocked it absentmindedly—and froze in that instant.It was a message from Liana. An image popped up first, making my chest constrict.In the photo, Alistair was holding Emery b
