Mia's POV

The ultrasound room was colder than I remembered. Or maybe it was just my nerves making me shiver as I lay on the exam table, paper crinkling beneath me with every anxious shift. Mom sat beside me, her hand warm in mine.

"Everything will be fine," she whispered, but I heard the slight tremor in her voice.

Dr. Sarah Matthews – not my usual OB, but the only one I trusted after last time – squeezed the gel onto my still-flat stomach. The cold made me flinch.

"Sorry," she smiled apologetically. "Should warm up in a second. Ready to take a look?"

I nodded, not trusting my voice. The last time I'd been in a room like this, Kyle had stood where Mom was now, his face unreadable as the doctor confirmed our pregnancy. Before everything went wrong. Before Taylor. Before the stairs.

The machine hummed to life. Dr. Matthews moved the wand slowly, her eyes fixed on the screen I couldn't quite see from my position.

"Ah," she said softly. "There we are."

My heart stopped. "Is something wron

    Mia "You want to know the truth?" Victoria continued, her voice dropping to a hiss. "The truth is that Kyle Branson is dying. Dying! And when he's gone, what do you think will happen to your precious little fairy tale? You think his money will keep protecting you forever?""That's enough," I said firmly."You'll be just another single mother with too many kids and not enough money. And then maybe you'll understand what it feels like to have everything taken away from you. Maybe then you'll understand what I've been going through."The corrections officer was approaching our table now, but Victoria wasn't finished."And you," she said, turning back to Madison with wild eyes, "You'll learn that people like them don't keep people like us. We're just entertainment to them. A charity case that makes them feel good about themselves."Madison's chin trembled, but her voice was clear when she spoke. "I love Mia. She takes care of me.""Love!" Victoria's laugh was like breaking glass. "You th

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 371 Mommy's missed you so much

    Mia's POVThe smell, industrial disinfectant mixed with something.The kind of smell that lived in the walls of places where people went when society had decided they couldn't be trusted with freedom anymore.Madison's small hand found mine as we walked through the metal detector, her fingers cold despite the building's aggressive heating. She'd been quiet during the drive here, sitting in her booster seat with her elephant clutched against her chest, staring out the window at the gray February sky like she was memorizing clouds."Remember what we talked about," I said softly as we waited in the sterile lobby area. Around us, other visitors shifted in plastic chairs—a woman bouncing a crying baby, an elderly man clutching a paper bag that probably contained homemade cookies, a teenager with headphones around her neck who kept checking her phone.Madison nodded, her grip on her elephant tightening. "If I get scared, I can ask to leave.""That's right." I smoothed her hair. "And what el

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 370 Mirror, mirror on the wall. Who is the fairest of us all?

    Mia's POVThe morning light caught the dust motes that danced in the air like tiny fairies. Madison sat cross-legged on my bed, her small back straight and patient while I worked a wide-tooth comb through her dark hair.I seem to have kept forgetting to mention this. Madison's natural hair color is black, not blonde.Victoria had dyed it before."How would you like it today, sweetheart?" I asked, sectioning off a small strand to work through a tiny knot. "Braids? A ponytail? Or maybe something special?"Madison's reflection in my dresser mirror showed me her serious face. "Could you make it look like a princess?" she asked finally, her voice small but hopeful. "Like the kind in the books Alexander likes, with the hair that looks like it's made of sunshine?""I think we can definitely make you look like a princess," I said, kissing the top of her head. "What kind of princess style were you thinking?"Madison twisted around to face me. "Could you braid it? But not regular braids—the fan

    Mia "Thank you for fixing my drone," Alexander said, his voice muffled against Kyle's hospital gown. "You're the best fixer in the whole world.""You're very welcome," Kyle replied. "But you did most of the work yourself. You identified the problem, you read the manual, you asked good questions. I just had slightly steadier hands."Alexander pulled back to look at Kyle's face. "Will you teach me how to fix other things? Like when my Legos break, or when my toy cars stop rolling straight?"Kyle's eyes found mine over Alexander's head. "I'd like that very much" .Before I could respond, Ethan stepped closer to the bed, his attention focused on something that had caught his eye. His small hand reached out to touch Kyle's fingers where they rested on the hospital blanket."You do that thing too," Ethan said quietly, his voice carrying the wonder of someone who had just discovered they weren't alone in the world."What thing?" Kyle asked, following Ethan's gaze."When you concentrate on s

    Mia's POV"Don't say that," I whispered, my voice breaking on the words. The tears came faster now. "Don't talk about someday."Kyle's eyes softened, but I could see the resignation there."Mia—""No." I leaned forward. "I believe in exceptions. I believe in miracles.You won't convince me."The afternoon light shifted through the hospital blinds, casting moving patterns across Kyle's face. He looked younger when he smiled, the sharp edges of illness softening that reminded me of all those years."I love your optimism," he said gently, his free hand reaching up to catch a tear that had escaped down my cheek. "But this isn't a fairy tale."His thumb traced across my cheekbone with the careful tenderness of someone memorizing a texture. "My immune system is eating me alive from the inside out."I could taste salt on my lips, but I didn't care. "Then find new doctors. New treatments.""Mia, they all said the same thing.""Then they're wrong. Sometimes doctors are wrong. "Kyle studied my

  • The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins   Chapter 367 I forgive you, Kyle

    Mia's POVKyle's words settled into the spaces between my ribs, each syllable finding a home in places I'd tried so hard to empty and lock away.I cried while smiling, the tears warm against my cheeks, tasting of salt and something that might have been relief. "I forgive you, Kyle."The words came from somewhere deeper, from the place where seventeen-year-old Mia still lived, the girl who had loved him with the devastating completeness that only comes once in a lifetime. "You know how much I once liked you," I said, the word 'liked' so inadequate it almost made me laugh. Like was what you felt for chocolate ice cream or sunny afternoons. "I never envied Taylor," I continued, my voice growing stronger as the truth flowed out of me like water from a broken dam. "But you know, I only ever envied her for being your girlfriend."Kyle's looked at me. His eyes meeting mine with an intensity that made the hospital room disappear around us. For a moment, we were seventeen again, and I was wa
