last update Date de publication: 2025-10-21 19:29:11

~ ISLA ~

I finally wrapped up my rounds, but my head wasn’t clear at all. The scene from earlier clung to me like a shadow I couldn’t shake off. Elise’s trembling voice, Simon’s cold, cutting tone—it all kept replaying no matter how hard I tried to focus on my patients.

“Abort it.”

Those two words had been so sharp and final. How could someone say that so easily? Even if he didn’t want Elise, even if he hated her, what did the child do wrong?

I couldn’t help but feel uneasy every time I remembe

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 151 — I'm Not Frustrated Because Of You

    ~ ISLA ~The bedroom had grown quiet after everything that happened downstairs.Outside, the rain still hadn’t stopped. Water streamed endlessly against the glass while the gray evening sky slowly darkened over the city.I sat curled on the plush sofa near the windows, my hands resting loosely around the untouched cup of tea Anna had prepared earlier. The warmth from it had long disappeared, yet my thoughts remained tangled in the same place.Alistair said he would fix it.Just remembering those words made my chest tighten softly. I already knew what kind of man he was. Once he made a decision, nobody could easily change his mind—not even his own mother. And somehow, that thought made me feel both relieved and uneasy at the same time.A soft sound came from the doorway. I looked up immediately.Alistair stepped inside the bedroom while loosening the tie around his neck with one hand. His expression still carried the exhaustion from earlier, though the sharpness in his eyes eased sligh

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 150 – His Final Decision

    ~ ALISTAIR ~Evan informed me the moment my mother insisted on returning to Tribeca Heights after her discharge.The second I heard it, uneasiness settled heavily inside me. I already knew this wouldn’t end well. And I was right. Because as I stepped onto the second-floor living area, I saw my mother’s hand strike across Isla’s face. It was too late for me to stop her. The sound had already echoed sharply through the room.Isla staggered slightly from the force, one hand instinctively lifting toward her cheek while shock remained written all over her face. But when I saw the red mark slowly appearing against her skin, my blood boiled, and a dark rage snapped inside my chest.“Who gave you the right to hurt my wife?!” I growled, my voice slicing through the silence hard enough to freeze everyone in place.My mother turned toward me first. The anger on her face faltered instantly the second our eyes met.“Ali—” she uttered softly.But I didn't give her a shred of attention. I walked pas

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 149 — Unwanted

    ~ ISLA ~The mansion felt quiet and somehow a little bit comforting that afternoon.I was sitting in the second-floor living area near the floor-to-ceiling windows, a maternity book resting open on my lap while one hand stayed absentmindedly over my stomach. I had been trying to distract myself for the past few hours, but my thoughts kept circling back to what had happened at the hospital.I was still unsure what was going to happen to us in the future now that she was back.I released a deep sigh before going back to my reading. But my mind still floated somewhere else. I had reread the same sentence three times already—finally giving up, I lowered the book with another tired sigh.That was when I heard voices in the hallway. Then came the sound of the doors opening, followed almost immediately by a familiar voice.“Careful, Madam Harriet,” Martha said protectively.My body stiffened abruptly. The air left my lungs all at once, as if the room had suddenly lost pressure.The queen of

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 148 –Drawing The Line

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The morning had barely started, yet my patience was already running thin.A pile of untouched documents sat on my desk while the strong scent of black coffee floated heavily through the office, calming my nerves a little. The city skyline behind the glass walls was still gray and dull, just like yesterday.I loosened my tie slightly before signing another document with little interest. Sleep had barely touched me last night. Every time I closed my eyes, my mother’s words kept returning like an echo I couldn’t shut off.Leave Isla.Forget I have a mother.A bitter laugh nearly escaped me at the thought.The sharp sound of heels clicking against the marble floor pulled me away from my thoughts. Moments later, the office door opened without permission. I glowered at the sudden intrusion.Emery walked inside, carrying her usual composed smile and dressed elegantly, as always, as if she were going to a gala.I didn’t even bother hiding my irritation. “Who allowed you in?” I s

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 147 — Going Back To My Wife

    ~ ALISTAIR ~My mother’s words settled heavily in the room.For several seconds, I just sat there, silent and rigid. The ticking sound of the monitor beside her bed suddenly became too noticeable in the silence. My hand remained resting on the armrest of the chair, though my fingers had already curled tightly without me noticing.I looked at her quietly. The woman in front of me had the same face I remembered from childhood. The same voice. The same eyes. Yet somehow, she felt far away. When I was younger, I used to think my mother was someone gentle. Calm. Rational. Someone who would understand me without needing too many words.But the person sitting in front of me now carried a sharpness I had never seen before. Or maybe it had always been there, and I was simply too young to notice.“You don’t understand what Allison Reed did to me,” she continued, each word enunciated with ice. “That woman destroyed my life.”I listened without interrupting.Then she exhaled sharply and added, “I

  • The Billionaire's Unwanted Wife    CHAPTER 146 — Divorce Her

    ~ ALISTAIR ~The moment my mother was injected with a tranquilizer, she finally calmed down and slowly closed her eyes.But the tension remained heavy inside the ward.My expression stayed cold as I watched her lying on the hospital bed, her face pale as a sheet of paper. The nurses who had attended to her earlier finished their work and exited the room one after another until only the doctor, Emery, and I were left inside.He approached me carefully, his expression serious.“Mr. Montgomery,” he called, adjusting his glasses before speaking. “Your mother is stable for now. We administered medication to stabilize her.”My jaw remained tight. “Explain her condition.”The doctor sighed briefly before answering.“Dr. Harriet’s emotional state is still very fragile,” he said carefully. “Being isolated for nearly two decades has severely affected her mental and emotional health.”My gaze darkened slightly.“She developed anxiety and depressive episodes over the years,” he continued. “Certai
