The Rise Of The Betrayed Wife Chapter Sixty Five: Shifting Foundations
Callum's POV:Work felt different after learning Isla's truth.I sat in meetings Monday afternoon barely listening to quarterly projections and market analysis.My mind kept drifting to time travel and second chances. To a woman who'd died and come back determined to rewrite her fate. To grief over a child that never existed in this timeline but was completely real to her.My CFO was talking about restructuring after Marcus Reid's departure but I was thinking about Isla crying in my arms yesterday, about the weight of secrets she'd been carrying alone for months.“Callum? Your thoughts on the proposal?”I pulled my attention back to the conference room. “Sorry, what proposal?”My team exchanged glances. I was never distracted in meetings. Never let personal matters interfere with business focus.“The budget allocation for Q2,” my CFO repeated patiently.“Right. Yes. Approved. Send me the details and I'll sign off.”The meeting wrapped up shortly after and I returned to my office, clos
The Rise Of The Betrayed Wife Chapter sixty four: New understanding
Isla's POV:I woke up Monday morning feeling lighter.My eyes were swollen from crying and my throat was raw from talking for hours, but something fundamental had shifted.Telling Callum the truth had lifted a weight I didn't realize was crushing me. He believed me, he held me while I broke down and didn't treat me like I was broken or insane.I found him in the kitchen already awake, making coffee in the quiet early morning. He looked up when I walked in and our eyes met.Everything between us felt different now. He knew all my secrets. The death, the time travel, the pregnancy loss, the real reason behind everything I'd done since waking up in this timeline.“Morning,” he said quietly.“Morning,” I said back, still getting used to using my voice with him.He poured a second cup of coffee and slid it across the counter to me. We sat at the island together in silence for a moment, both of us processing everything that had been said yesterday.“I have questions,” Callum said finally.“
The Rise Of The Betrayed Wife Chapter Sixty-Three: Believing the Impossible
Callum's POV:I should have thought Isla was delusional.Time travel violated every law of physics and logic I'd ever learned. People didn't die and come back to the past. They didn't get second chances to change their futures. It wasn't real. It couldn't be real.Yet I found myself believing her anyway.Not because the story made sense but because everything else finally did.Her impossible knowledge about my company. The specific details about Gerald Hutchins' plans down to exact dates and transaction codes. The way she sometimes looked at me with recognition that went deeper than our brief acquaintance. The haunted expression she got when she watched Rosie play, like she was seeing something precious she'd once lost.All of it clicked into place if I accepted what she was telling me."The pregnancy," I said quietly. "Tell me about that."Isla's face crumbled. Fresh tears spilled over and she wrapped her arms around herself like she was trying to hold something together that was fal
The Rise Of The Betrayed Wife Chapter Sixty-Two: Speaking Truth
Callum's POV:I stared at Isla in complete shock.Her voice was real.It was soft and melodic despite the slight hoarseness from years of keeping it hidden. She'd been able to speak this entire time and never said a single word to me.Questions flooded my mind. Why had she hidden it?What else had she been keeping secret? But I forced myself to stay quiet and just listen because clearly she had more to say.Isla took a breath and continued, her voice gaining strength as she spoke.“The voice returned the day I woke up in the hospital after the fall,” she said. “The same day everything changed. I kept it secret because silence gave me advantages. People underestimate you when you can't speak. They say things around you they wouldn't say otherwise. They treat you like you're less capable than you are.”She paused, her hands twisting together nervously.“But that's not the full truth,” she continued. “And I need to tell you everything because you deserve to know who I really am and why I
The Rise Of The Betrayed Wife Chapter Sixty one: The decision
Isla's POV:Arthur's arrest made headlines Sunday morning.I woke up to notifications flooding my phone.News articles about attempted destruction of evidence.Violation of the restraining order. Breaking and entering. The legal walls were closing in on him faster than anyone had expected.His lawyer had already released a statement. I read it while sitting in bed, my stomach twisting with each word.Arthur Brennan was being persecuted by his ungrateful daughter and her powerful fiancé. He was a loving father concerned about his child's wellbeing, now being punished for that concern. The charges were politically motivated attacks designed to silence a businessman who'd built his company through hard work and integrity.The narrative bothered me more than it should have. I knew it was a lie. I knew the evidence against him was overwhelming.But some media outlets were running with his version anyway, questioning whether my abuse claims were exaggerated, whether Arthur was the real vic
The Rise Of The Betrayed Wife Chapter Sixty: The Breaking point
Isla's POV:Saturday passed in careful distance.Both of us seemed to be avoiding the conversation from last night, the questions we'd asked but not answered.We maintained polite interaction around Rosie, playing games and making lunch together, but the awareness crackled between us constantly.Every time Callum's hand brushed mine passing something across the table. Every time our eyes met and held for a second too long. Every time he stood close enough that I could feel the warmth of him.That evening, Rosie had a sleepover at her friend Emma's house. She'd been excited about it all week, packing her overnight bag with elaborate care and making Maria promise to pick her up at exactly the right time.Maria dropped her off at six, leaving Callum and me alone in the penthouse for the first time since that late-night kitchen conversation where I'd cried and he'd wiped my tears with such gentleness it had almost broken me.The emptiness felt louder than usual. No Rosie chattering about
The Rise Of The Betrayed Wife Chapter Twenty-One: The Morning After
Isla's POV:I woke to unfamiliar luxury and for a moment had no idea where I was.The bed beneath me was absurdly comfortable, the kind of mattress that seemed to mold perfectly to my body while still providing support.The linens were soft and expensive, probably thread counts I couldn't even imag

Isla's POV:I was sitting on my bed when the first notification appeared on my phone.A news alert from a business journal I'd subscribed to months ago, the banner sliding down from the top of my screen with a soft chime.My heart started racing before I even opened it, my fingers fumbling slightly
