**Mia's POV**

Paris.

The word lingered in my mind like the aftertaste of expensive wine. I watched Scarlett's animated face as she continued outlining her vision for our Paris trip, her hands moving while Morton looked on her.

"We could stay at Le Meurice," Scarlett was saying, scrolling through something on her phone. "Their suites have the most gorgeous views of Tuileries Garden."

I pushed my half-eaten salad around the plate, considering the possibility with surprising seriousness.

"I don't know, Scar. Paris is a long flight for someone who has to pee every twenty minutes," I said, but my tone lacked conviction.

The truth was, the idea had taken root. I wasn't too far along yet—just starting my sixth month. Flying was still safe according to Dr. Matthews, and travel would become increasingly uncomfortable as the twins grew. If I was ever going to see this architecture firm, now might be the perfect window.

"First class has bathrooms," Scarlett countered immediately. "And we can re

    Mia's POV"Mia, isn't it?" Victoria turned to me with that same cold smile. "I don't believe Thomas has mentioned you before."The implication was clear.Thomas said quickly, "Mia is my girlfriend. I believe I've mentioned her many times."The word 'girlfriend' hung in the air between us.and I saw something flicker across Victoria's perfectly made-up face. "Your girlfriend," she repeated slowly, as if testing the word. "How lovely. I'm sure you two are very... happy together."And the pause before 'happy' was deliberate."We are," I said firmly, slipping my arm through Thomas's. "Very happy."Madison tugged on Thomas's other hand. "Uncle Thomas, will you dance with me? Pleeeease?""I'd love to, sweetheart," Thomas said, glancing at me apologetically. "Just for a few minutes?"What could I say? No, don't dance with the adorable little girl who clearly adores you? I wasn't that petty, even if her mother made my skin crawl."Of course," I said, forcing another smile. "I'll just check o

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 237 Uncle Thomas

    Mia's POVI held my sons close, their small bodies against mine as other parents began to disperse, the drama officially over."Mama, are you okay?" Ethan asked softly, his small hand patting my cheek."I'm fine, sweetheart," I lied, forcing a smile. "Just making sure you two are okay.""We're okay," Alexander said firmly. "But that girl was mean, and her mom was meaner.""Sometimes people have bad days," I said diplomatically."There you are."Thomas's voice came from behind me. I turned to see him approaching with two glasses of champagne and an apologetic smile."Sorry I disappeared," he said, handing me one of the glasses. "I ran into an old friend and got caught up in conversation. Everything is okay?"I took a sip of champagne, using the moment to compose myself. "Just a little playground drama. Nothing serious."Thomas studied my face with those perceptive brown eyes. "You sure? You look upset.""Really, it's fine," I insisted. "Just some kid drama that got blown out of proport

    Mia's POV"What's wrong?" I asked, immediately going into crisis mode."There's kids playing tag in the garden!" Ethan announced breathlessly. "Can we play too? Please?"I looked around and spotted several other children around their age racing through the French doors that led to the terrace."As long as you stay where I can see you," I said. "And no climbing on anything! And if you get dirty, you'll have to sit quietly for the rest of the night.""We promise!" they chorused, already turning to race back toward the doors."Be careful!" I called after them, then turned back to Thomas with an apologetic smile. "Sorry. Parental override.""I love watching you with them," he said softly, pulling me close again. "You're such a good mother, Mia.""I try," I replied, though I wasn't always sure I was doing it right. Single parenting was exhausting, even with all the help I had."You don't just try," Thomas insisted. "You succeed. Every day."His words warmed me."Thomas," I began, not sure

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 235 Here's to Jeo and Leila

    Mia's POV"Mind if I steal Mia for a moment?" he asked Thomas. "I need to practice my speech, and she's always been my best audience.""Of course," Thomas smiled. "Just bring her back before the dancing starts."Nate led me to a quieter corner of the ballroom, near the floor-to-ceiling windows that looked out over the gardens."Nervous?" I asked, noting the slight tension in his shoulders."Terrified," he admitted with a self-deprecating laugh."You'll be fine," I assured him. "Just speak from the heart.""They really are perfect together." Nate continued quietly.There was something wistful in his voice that made my chest tighten. We'd never really talked about his dating life since he'd moved back to New York. I knew he went out occasionally, but nothing serious, nothing that lasted."You'll find it," I said gently. "The right person is out there."He smiled, but it didn't quite reach his eyes. "Maybe. Or maybe some of us are meant to be the matchmaker instead of the match."Before

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 234 Jeo's Wedding

    Mia's POV"Mia," Thomas's voice snapped me out of my daze.I blinked, realizing I'd been staring out the car window for who knows how long, completely lost in thought. The city scenery blurred past us as we made our way to Jeo and Leila's wedding."Sorry," I said, turning to face him with what I hoped was an apologetic smile. "Just thinking."Thomas squeezed my hand gently, his thumb tracing small circles on my knuckles. He didn't ask what I was thinking about, though I could see the question in his warm brown eyes. He never pushed, and it made me feel even more guilty.Because I'd been thinking about Maxwell again.And by extension, about Kyle.The resemblance between them was driving me absolutely insane. Every time I met with Jackson Maxwell for the estate project, I found myself studying his face, looking for differences."Mama, are we there yet?" Alexander's voice piped up from the backseat, cutting through my spiraling thoughts."Almost, sweetheart," I replied, grateful for the

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 233 So damn dramatic

    Mia's POVI picked up the necklace, feeling its weight in my palm. The diamonds caught the morning light, casting tiny rainbows on the bedroom wall like some kind of cosmic disco ball.Why was I even thinking about this?It was just a necklace. Beautiful, yes, but ultimately just jewelry. It had no magic powers, no special mojo. It was just... pretty. Really, really pretty.And it would look absolutely perfect with the outfit I was wearing today.Before I could talk myself out of it, I fastened the necklace around my neck. The star-shaped pendant fell perfectly at the base of my throat.I caught my reflection in the mirror and paused. The woman staring back at me looked polished, professional, ready to conquer the architectural world. The necklace added just the right touch of elegance without being too flashy."It's just a business meeting," I told my reflection firmly. "Just work."My phone buzzed with a text from Thomas: Knock 'em dead today. Love you.I smiled, typing back: Will d
