**Kyle's POV**

"Sir, Mrs. Branson was seen at the park again this morning." James shifted uncomfortably in front of my desk. "With Dr. Pierce."

My fingers tightened on the pen I was holding. "I thought I made it clear that Mrs. Branson's movements were no longer to be reported."

"Yes, sir, but—"

"Then why are you here?"

James cleared his throat. "Given the circumstances, I thought you should know that Mrs. Branson appears to be spending considerable time with—"

"That will be all." The pen snapped in my grip, ink staining my fingers. Perfect. Just perfect.

After he left, I stared at the dark stain spreading across the reports I'd been reviewing. Mia's signature was still visible at the bottom - neat, precise strokes that somehow looked different now. When had that changed?

My phone felt heavy in my hand as I pulled up her number. Three rings before she answered.

"What?" Her voice was cool, distant.

"The dog park?" The words came out sharper than intended. "Really, Mia?"

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 447 The Small Hours

    Mia's POVI sigh.Kyle is still standing there. Six feet away in the flickering alley light. His jacket around my shoulders. The fabric still warm from his body."Come upstairs," I say.He blinks. "What?""Come upstairs. See the kids. Then go home." I pull the jacket tighter. "I'm too tired to do this dance in an alley at eleven at night.""Mia—""I'm not asking you to stay. I'm just—" I stop. Start again. "They'll want to know you were here. Alexander will ask tomorrow if you came by. He always asks."Kyle's throat works. "Okay."We go back inside. The stairwell smells like someone's cooking—garlic and something fried. The fluorescent lights buzz. One flickers on the third floor landing.My keys jangle when I unlock the door. Too loud in the quiet hallway.Gas lifts her head when we come in. Sees Kyle. Her tail thumps once against the floor. Then she settles back down.The apartment is dim. Just the small lamp in the living room. The one I always leave on. The shade is crooked. Has b

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 446 You look like a stalker

    Mia's POV"Alexander." My voice is sharper now. "What have I told you about watching grown-up shows?""I don't watch grown-up shows!""Then where did you learn about ex-boyfriends and current boyfriends and awkward social dynamics?""I don't know! From existing! From having ears! From Mrs. Rodriguez and also from the elevator—""Alexander!" I'm trying not to smile but also genuinely alarmed. "You're five. You shouldn't know these things.""Well I do know them! And I'm just trying to help you not be awkward!""Okay!" I stand up. "That's enought. And you..." I point at him. "Less eavesdropping. Less elevator gossip. Less... less learning about adult relationships from our seventy-year-old neighbor.""She's sixty-eight," he mumbles."Alexander.""Okay, okay. Sorry." But he doesn't look sorry. He looks pleased with himself for knowing things, for being observant, for understanding the world in ways that make me both proud and

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 445 The Ex-boyfriend and Boyfriend

    Mia's POVAlexander shoots up in bed like someone electrocuted him. "REALLY? A REAL HOUSE? That you BUILT?""Shh, inside voice. And yes.""A CASTLE!" Alexander shouts. "Is it a CASTLE? I want a castle!""Not a castle. A house. With bedrooms and bathrooms and—""And a SECRET ROOM!" His eyes are huge now, all traces of sleepiness gone. "Can there be a secret room? PLEASE? With a bookshelf door that swings open?""That's structurally complicated," Ethan says, but he's sitting up now too, interested despite himself. "The weight distribution of a bookshelf door would require significant reinforcement and—""I don't care about weight distribution! I want a SECRET ROOM!""But if we move..." Alexander's face falls suddenly, dramatically, like he's just remembered something terrible. "If we move, we'd have to say goodbye to everyone here.""Yes," I say gently. "That's one of the things to think about. You'd have to say goodbye to the kids you play with in the building. To Mrs. Rodriguez next d

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 444 A New House

    Mia's POVThe apartment is quiet when we get home.I unlock the door and Gas pushes past me first, her nails clicking on the hardwood in that urgent rhythm that means she's been holding it together all day and now she can finally relax. She heads straight for her water bowl and laps at it like she's been crossing a desert, water splashing onto the mat beneath."Shoes off," I remind the children.Alexander is already kicking his off before the words are fully out of my mouth. They go flying—one hits the wall with a soft thud, the other lands somewhere near the couch—and he looks at me with that expression that's half innocent, half testing to see if I'll call him on it."Alexander.""What?""Pick them up. Put them in the basket."He sighs with his entire body, head dropping back, arms going limp at his sides, that dramatic five-year-old sigh that suggests I've asked him to climb Mount Everest in his socks, but he does it, shuffling over to retrieve both shoes and dropping them in the ba

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 443 Like a romance novel

    Mia's POVHugo walks away.I stand there. Watching leaves skitter across the pavement.Then someone bursts out of the restaurant door.Scarlett.She's moving fast. Too fast for someone who can barely walk straight.Morton is right behind her. "Scarlett—""LEAVE ME ALONE.""You can't drive like this.""Watch me.""You're drunk.""I'm TIPSY. There's a difference.""You had seven glasses—""SIX. I counted. Or—" She stops. Squints. "—or maybe it was seven. The point is I'm FINE."She's not fine. She's wobbling.Morton catches her elbow. "Let me drive you home.""No.""Scarlett—""I said NO." She yanks away. Too hard. Loses her balance.Morton catches her. Steadies her. His arms around her waist.For a moment they just stand there. Frozen. His arms around her. Her hands gripping his forearms.Then she pushes him away. Hard."Don't touch me.""

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 442 To move past the fear

    Mia's POVHugo and I walk a few steps away. Far enough the children can't hear. Close enough I can still see them."I apologize," he begins. "The story was inappropriate.""You were trying to help.""I was trying to practice medicine without consent. There's a difference." He pauses. "But as a physician, I have an obligation to provide accurate medical information. Even when it's uncomfortable.""Hugo—""Please. Let me say this." He looks at me directly. His eyes serious. "Bone marrow donation from a child is not without risk. Anesthesia. Pain. Small chance of complications. I won't minimize that.""I know.""But." He holds up a hand. "The risks are manageable. The pain is temporary. The marrow regenerates completely. Within weeks, the child is physically exactly as they were.""Physically," I repeat. Catching it."Yes. Physically they recover. Emotionally is more complex. Some children process it positively. They helped someon
