The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife CHAPTER 196 — A Line Crossed
~ ISLA ~I broke eye contact with Emery first. She wasn't worth ruining the evening over.I felt Alistair's hand squeezing mine slightly, his thumb stroking my knuckles to gently draw my focus back to him.Instead of hovering by the entrance, Alistair guided me through the crowd toward the main host table near the front of the podium. My father was already standing there, talking quietly with a couple of high-profile delegates, but the moment he saw us approaching, he excused himself completely.Before I could even settle into my chair, Dad stepped forward and pulled me into a deep, warm hug."You look radiant, sweetheart," he murmured against my hair before stepping back with a proud smile.The gesture didn't go unnoticed. Around us, subtle gasps and curious glances spread through the nearby tables. Antonio Vitale had been one of the most notoriously private and ruthless bachelors for decades, never showing this kind of soft affection to anyone in public. Seeing him treat me with suc
The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife CHAPTER 195 — The Unveiling
~ ISLA ~The air inside our private hotel suite was thick with the faint, soothing scent of fresh orchids. I stood in front of the full-length mirror, my fingers nervously smoothing the delicate fabric of my dress.When Alistair first broke the news to me about the grand banquet my father was throwing in my honor, I had been completely stunned. I really didn't want any of this. High-society galas, flashbulbs, and aristocratic displays had never been my world, and I was genuinely tense about the whole affair. But then again... what choice did I really have against the overbearing, fiercely stubborn men in my life? Once Alistair and my father set their minds to something, there was simply no stopping them.A soft, polite knock at the double doors shattered my running thoughts. The door opened gently, and my father stepped into the suite. Even in his mid-fifties, he still looked extraordinarily handsome in his crisp, tailored tuxedo—carrying an effortless, commanding air that commanded
The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife CHAPTER 194 — Unbroken Threads
~ ISLA ~My heart ached as I looked at her sobbing and begging for my forgiveness. The resentment I had carried crumbled to dust. Reaching out with trembling hands, I gently grasped her wrists, lifting her hands away from the soil.She froze at the contact, her bloodshot eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at me."I don't know how long it will take for all of this to sink in," I said softly, my voice breaking slightly, yet carrying a quiet, unwavering truth. "Twenty-six years is a very long time... and my mind is still spinning. But I don't want to hold onto resentment. I can't hold a grudge against you, Mom."Hearing that single word—Mom—spoken directly to her broke whatever small reserve of strength she had left. A choked, strangled sob escaped her throat. Tears spilled over her pale cheeks as she collapsed forward, burying her face into my shoulder. Her arms wrapped around me with a desperate, crushing intensity, holding onto me as if she were afraid that if she let go, I would
The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife CHAPTER 193 — The Twenty-Six-Year Lie
~ ISLA ~The warm, familiar living room of Grandma’s lakeside house felt suffocatingly small.Outside the window, the sun glinted off the calm water, but inside, the air was dense with the weight of a twenty-six-year-old lie.Grandma sat across from me on the floral sofa, her hands trembling as she clutched a handkerchief. Allison was nowhere to be seen. Before a single word could be exchanged in the garden, Grandma had gently intervened, asking Alice—no, Allison—to give us a few moments alone. She wanted to be the one to explain everything to me first.I sat stiffly in the armchair opposite her, my hands resting over my stomach. My heart was still hammering against my ribs—a wild, chaotic rhythm that I couldn't seem to calm. I forced myself to take slow, deliberate breaths, desperately trying to compose my fractured thoughts while I waited for the elderly woman to speak.Grandma Ruth looked up, her eyes red and brimming with tears. "Isla... I am so, so sorry, my dear. I am so sorry f
The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife CHAPTER 192 — The Truth
~ ISLA ~The steady hum of the car’s engine filled the quiet space as we sped along the highway toward New Jersey.Outside the window, the concrete skyline of Manhattan gave way to rolling green trees and open stretches of blue sky.This visit had been planned beforehand, but Alistair had an urgent board meeting today, so I decided to go ahead without him since I missed Grandma so much. Ever since our last visit, I hadn't been able to come back—not until I got pregnant, and after so many things had happened.Alistair had been utterly reluctant to let me out of his sight. To put his mind at ease, I finally allowed him to wrap me in a web of security. He assigned four of his top bodyguards to escort my car in a black SUV trailing close behind, with strict orders to guard the perimeter the moment we arrived."I'll be there the second the vote finishes," he had promised, pressing a firm, lingering kiss against my temple before his car sped off in the opposite direction. "Don't strain your
The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife CHAPTER 191 — Unspoken Bond
~ ISLA ~The sterile smell of disinfectant finally began to recede as Alistair escorted me down the main concourse of the hospital. His tall frame hovered closely beside me, his arm resting protectively around my waist to steady my every step, treating me as though I were made of fragile glass.After two days of being confined to a hospital bed, stepping into the crisp morning air at the grand glass entrance felt like an absolute relief."Take it slow," Alistair murmured, his voice low and warm near my ear. His fingers tightened gently on my hip. "The car is waiting right by the curb."I looked up at him, a small smile tugging at my lips as I remembered the raw, tender confession he had made to me in the dark of my hospital room. Even without his memories, the fact that his heart had chosen me again was something I couldn't imagine. That simple truth had filled my chest with a quiet, glowing warmth that made the chill in the air disappear."Alistair, I'm just pregnant and slightly exh
