Mia's POV

The drive home was quiet except for the gentle hum of the car engine and the twins' occasional whispered conversations in the backseat. I kept checking them in the rearview mirror, watching for signs of lingering upset from their terrible day. But kids are resilient in ways that constantly amaze me. By the time we pulled into our parking garage, they were already debating whether Gas would prefer chicken or beef flavored treats when we got upstairs.

"Mama," Ethan said as I helped him out of his car seat, "my tummy feels funny."

I knelt down to his level, studying his pale face. "Funny how, sweetheart? Like you're hungry, or like you might throw up?"

"Like... twisty," he said, pressing his small hands against his stomach. "Like when we went on that spinny ride at the fair."

"It's going to be okay," I murmured, pulling him into a hug. "That twisty feeling will go away. It's just your body telling you that today was hard."

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 301 Hit sent

    Mia's POV"Morton," I said flatly. "It's six in the morning."Through the narrow gap allowed by the security chain, I could see him properly now. The split lip wasn't his only injury—there was a dark bruise forming along his left cheekbone, and his usually perfect hair was disheveled like he'd been running his hands through it all night.He looked like hell."Mia," he said, his voice hoarse. "I need to talk to you.""About what?" I kept my tone cold, uninterested. "If this is about Kyle—""It's about Scarlett."The name made me pause. Morton's eyes were bloodshot, the kind of exhaustion that came from not sleeping rather than drinking. His expensive suit was wrinkled, his tie missing entirely."What about Scarlett?"Morton winced as he spoke, the movement pulling at his split lip. "She hit me. Last night. And then she blocked my number, deleted me from everything. I can't reach her."I almost laughed. Almost."Good for her.""Mia, please—""No." I started to close the door, but Morton

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 300 Had something happened to Catherine?

    Mia's POVAlexander's small body felt cooler against my chest as I carried him back to the car. The fever medication had started working, bringing his temperature down .I secured both boys in their car seats, adjusting Alexander's seatbelt carefully around his limp form. His breathing was deeper now, more peaceful. The flush had faded from his cheeks, leaving him looking pale but no longer burning up.Ethan immediately reached across the space between their seats, his small fingers finding Alexander's hand. Even in sleep, Alexander's fingers curled around his brother's, their hands clasping together.I sat behind the steering wheel for a long moment, not starting the engine.The hospital parking garage was dimly lit, filled with the echo of footsteps and the distant sound of ambulances arriving at the emergency entrance. Through the concrete walls, I could hear the muffled chaos of the hospital continuing its never-ending work of healing and loss.The nurse's words kept replaying in

    Mia‘s POV"Alexander?Sweetheart, what are you doing out here?""I had a nightmare, Mama," he said in a small voice. "It was really scary, and I called for you, but you didn't come."I must have been in the shower and didn't hear him."I went to wake up Ethan, but he was sleeping like a log," Alexander continued, "He didn't even move when I poked him. So I had to come find you myself.""Oh, baby," I said, sitting on the sofa and pulling him onto my lap. "I'm so sorry I didn't hear you. Tell me about the nightmare."He snuggled against my chest. "There were these bad people, and they were trying to take you away from us. And Ethan and me were calling and calling, but you couldn't hear us.""That does sound scary," I said, stroking his hair. "But dreams aren't real, sweetheart. They're just our brains making up stories while we sleep. I would never, ever let anyone take me away from you and Ethan.""Promise?" His voice was muffled against my pajama top."I promise with all my heart."His

    Mia's POV"Get in the car," I said to my sons."Can we get Gas first?" Alexander bounced on his toes. "He's probably lonely at home.""And dogs need fresh air too," Ethan added. "It's important for their mental health."Despite everything, I found myself smiling at Ethan's concern for our dog's psychological well-being. "Fine. We'll get Gas.""Maybe we could drive to the ocean!" Alexander exclaimed. "I want to see if the water really goes on forever like in the pictures.""It doesn't go on forever," Ethan corrected with four-year-old authority. "It goes around the whole world and then comes back to where it started. That's called the water cycle.""But how do you know it comes back?" Alexander challenged. "What if it just keeps going and going until it falls off the edge?""There is no edge, Alexander. The Earth is round.""Prove it."I listened to their debate with half my attention while navigating through Manhattan traffic.Gas greeted us at the apartment door with his usual enthus

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 297 Mum, are you alcohol poisoned?

    Mia's POVI woke up with the distinct feeling that something was watching me.My head felt like it had been stuffed with cotton and then hammered by a construction crew. Every muscle in my body ached, and my mouth tasted like I'd been chewing on gym socks.When I finally managed to pry my eyes open, I found Ethan and Alexander staring at me from the head of my bed.Both boys had their little brows furrowed. They were sitting cross-legged on my comforter.Ethan leaned closer to me, his dark eyes studying my face with the intensity of a tiny doctor. "Mum, are you alcohol poisoned?"Alexander clearly agreed with his brother's assessment, nodding solemnly. "You smell funny. Like the bottles grandma hides in the back of the cabinet."Their four little hands were gripping mine tightly, their small fingers warm and slightly sticky in that way children's hands always seemed to be. Even Gas was there, panting nervously at the foot of the bed, apparently disliking the whiskey smell wafting from

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 296 Did you say yes?

    Mia's POVScarlett stared at me as if I had grown a second head, "Mia, what just happened there?" she asked."They were planning to drug us," I said briefly, keeping my voice low. "Date rape drugs. In our drinks. They gave the bartender five thousand dollars to put the drugs in our cocktails, and then they planned to have a few men from the neighboring hotel come over to accompany us.""Are you serious?" she screamed, her voice carrying across the bar and drawing fresh stares from nearby patrons."Very serious. I heard them discussing it in the bathroom. They didn't even check if there was anyone else in the bathroom."Scarlett's laugh was infectious, building from a giggle to full-blown hysteria. "It's fate! Jesus Christ, Mia. Do you realize what could have happened if you hadn't overheard them?"Waking up in some hotel room, disoriented and violated, with no memory of how I'd gotten there..."Let's go, Scarlett," I said.We made our way through the crowd, ignoring the curious stares
