I sat on the balcony, staring out into the blank space. My head throbbed where the doctor had treated me. Sheila had left a while ago, saying she'd be back soon. There was food on the table, but I wasn't hungry at all. All I could see in my mind was Regan's face, twisted with worry, as he looked at that other woman, Zarina. It was like a broken record, replaying over and over.

Suddenly, I heard the door open. I thought it was Sheila, but then my stepmother's voice echoed instead. She stood in the doorway. She wore a tailored navy-blue dress that hugged her figure perfectly, with a matching jacket draped over her shoulders. Her hair was styled in a chignon, not a strand out of place. Her makeup was flawless, highlighting her sharp features, and her eyes were cold, and calculating.

I turned to face her, my voice flat. "What are you doing here?"

She walked closer, her high heels clicking on the floor. "I called Ella, you know after your old maid Susan told me you went to a party. But Ell

  • The Unwanted Wife   Chapter 216: That was long overdue........

    Zarina’s lips curled, but I didn’t let her speak. “You—”“You talk about family, but you don’t even know what that word means. You use people, and when you can’t get your way, you drag a child into your mess.” My glare sharpened, “That’s not being a mother. That’s being pathetic.”Her painted lips trembled, fury and humiliation warring in her eyes.“You call me two-faced?” I let out a bitter laugh. “At least I never built my entire life on jealousy. At least I never had to steal to feel wanted.”“You—” Her voice cracked, fury shaking her entire frame.I let out a humorless laugh. “You call me two-faced? At least I never built my life on stealing what was never mine. At least I don’t need lies to feel wanted.”That did it. Her composure shattered.“You bitch!” Zarina shrieked, raising her hand, her perfectly manicured nails glinting in the light as she swung at me.But I was faster. My hand shot up, catching her wrist in midair.“No,” I hissed.And before she could react, I struck.Cra

  • The Unwanted Wife   Chapter 215: Don't Try

    “It is when you’re dragging a child who clearly doesn’t want to go with you,” I said calmly but firmly, stepping closer. “Let go of him.”Her expression cracked for the briefest moment, a flash of insecurity crossing her features. “He’s my son,” she hissed.“You sure don’t treat him like one,” I replied coldly, now standing squarely in front of them.Reid’s lip trembled. Slowly, shakily, he wrenched his small arm free from her hand and moved — one step, then another — closer to me. He didn’t speak, but his little frame pressed against my side, leaning into me instinctively, like his body had already decided who he trusted.Zarina’s face drained of color, her perfectly painted lips tightening in fury as she realized she was losing control.Reid pressed against my side, his small hands clutching the fabric of my coat as if he was afraid I might disappear if he let go. But Zarina wasn’t done. Fury twisted her perfect features as she stepped forward, her hand snapping out to grab Reid aga

  • The Unwanted Wife   Chapter 214: Spiderman?

    The elevator dinged. The doors slid open, and I forced my legs to move. My heels clicked against the marble as I stepped out into the lobby — and froze.Cameras. Reporters. Microphones in hand. The crowd lingered near the entrance, their eyes scanning for someone, probably for some corporate event.“God…” I hissed, cursing under my breath. The last thing I needed was to be caught here and my face splashed across headlines.Cursing under my breath, I cut through the corridor and pushed toward the back exit. The air here was still, no people around — blessedly quiet compared to the chaos in the lobby. But just before I reached the door, I caught sight of two guards a few meters away. They looked panicked, whispering harshly to each other, and one of them clutched a small bag — a spiderman bag, the kind a little boy would carry.I frowned but quickly looked away. Not my problem. Not now.I was only a step from the exit when a sound stopped me cold. A voice. A woman’s voice. Low and urgen

    My nails dug into my palms. “Seven years changed everything, Regan. You can’t just drag me back into this because you… want to play some ridiculous game.”His gaze hardened, his tone firm. “This is not a game for me, Anastasia.”The sound of my name on his lips startled me. It had been so long since I’d heard him say it that way — steady, deliberate, almost reverent. For a fleeting second, it shook me.I forced myself to ignore it, shaking my head in disappointment, refusing to let his words linger. My glare burned into him, the heat in my chest rising until it was almost unbearable. “What’s between us is nothing but a contract. And you’re clinging to it like it’s the only thing keeping me here.”His lips curved into the faintest, bitterest shadow of a smile.“You’re wrong,” he said softly, leaning forward now, his gloved hand pressing against the desk. “It’s not the contract I’m holding onto. It’s you.”The air punched out of my lungs. My chest tightened at his directness, catching m

  • The Unwanted Wife   Chapter 212: Because there is something.....

    The Next Morning………..The car slowed to a stop in front of the towering glass building. My chest tightened as my gaze lifted to the bold silver letters across the entrance: Del Valle…. That surname still carved into stone and steel.I exhaled slowly, pushed the car door open, and stepped out.The morning breeze brushed against me. My heels clicked sharply as I crossed the pavement and entered the lobby. The familiar room greeted me. Only, this time, there were things I didn’t recognize. New faces filled the reception desks and hallways — young employees, unfamiliar eyes glancing curiously at me as I passed. The panels I remember had been replaced with sleek glass partitions. Chandeliers glowed above.Renovations, I realized. This wasn’t the same company I had once walked through. It had been remade, reshaped. Just like everything else.I entered the elevator, the mirrored walls throwing my own reflection back at me. My reflection stared back — short hair now brushing just above my sho

    The hotel room was quiet, saved for the soft sounds of the city outside. I curled up on the armchair, my phone propped against a glass of juice, so Atticus’s little face filled the screen.He was in his pajamas, hair sticking up from running around, his stuffed dinosaur lying on the pillow beside him. “Mom, look!” he grinned, holding up a paper filled with numbers and stars. “I finished my math homework without mistakes today!”My lips curved into a smile, the tightness in my chest loosening. “That’s amazing, Atti!”“And I read a whole chapter from my science book,” he added proudly. “It’s about planets. Did you know Jupiter is so big it can fit a thousand Earths inside? Aunt Phee even made me quiz her, and I won.”I laughed softly, sipping from my cup. “You’re becoming a little genius.”We went on, talking about the things that filled his days — the classmate who tried to race him at recess but tripped, the drawing contest his teacher announced, a
