CHAPTER 171 — Cold Distance

~ ISLA ~The deadly silence didn't last.Before Alistair could even take a step into the room, a chaotic swarm of footsteps thundered down the hallway. A sea of paparazzi and aggressive reporters—having tracked Alistair’s security detail or, more likely, tipped off by the mastermind behind the trap—breached the shattered doorway.Click-click-click-click!Blinding, white-hot flashes of light exploded through the room, reflecting off the walls and burning my eyes."Look at the bed! Get the angle of the nightie!""Dr. Bennett! Is this your lover?!""How long have you been stepping out on Alistair Montgomery?!"The ravenous shouting jolted Simon from his deep sleep. His eyelids fluttered open, still thick with a groggy, chemical blur. But the moment his medical instincts registered the blinding camera flashes and my terrified, trembling frame clutching the sheet to my chest, his professional boundaries fractured.Still disoriented from whatever drug had knocked him out, his first instinct

CHAPTER 172 — To The Villa

~ ALISTAIR ~As the heavy door of the hospital suite clicked shut, Isla's voice lingered in my ears.I didn't stop walking. I didn't want to. Because if I turned around, if I saw the look of raw vulnerability in her eyes for a second longer, the terrifying mask of absolute control I was forcing myself to wear would shatter completely.I wasn't angry with her. Deep down, where my rational mind still operated, I knew it was a setup. I knew she was innocent. But the absolute devastation ripping through my chest wasn't something I could just reason away.She had been missing for the entire night. During those hours, my world had spiraled into a chaotic, tormenting purgatory as my men turned the East Coast upside down looking for her. I had almost gone entirely crazy, fueled by a visceral, suffocating terror that someone had hurt her—that someone had taken my wife and our unborn child.When the IT team finally pinpointed her location, a wave of complex, suffocating emotions had nearly para

CHAPTER 173 — The Traitor Within

~ ALISTAIR ~Lindsay’s soft laughter died the exact moment my shadow fell across the threshold. The delicate pastry she had been reaching for remained suspended in mid-air before she slowly lowered her hand back to her lap.The silence in the room became instant, heavy and charged as both women turned their heads toward the doorway.My mother sat perfectly straight in her high-backed armchair, holding her porcelain teacup with a steady, practiced hand. Her expression didn't change. There was no flicker of guilt, no sudden panic—just the same smooth, artificial mask of maternal welcome she used whenever she pretended nothing unpleasant had ever transpired between us."Ali," she murmured, her tone light, almost pleasant. "I'm glad you finally visited your mother. You should have called before dropping by."I didn't answer her. I didn't even acknowledge the greeting. My eyes shifted past her, locking onto the woman sitting on the opposing sofa.Lindsay Morris. Her sudden appearance here

CHAPTER 174 — I Am The Villain Now

~ ALISTAIR ~ I walked out of the study, my blood boiling. I didn’t know if my mother was actually telling the truth or if she was just throwing out another sick lie to mess with my head. But one thing was absolutely certain: if Simon really had a hand in setting up my wife, he wasn't going to escape my wrath. As I strode back through the living room, the atmosphere was strangely calm. Lindsay was still sitting exactly where we had left her, gracefully sipping her tea as if a violent storm hadn't just wrecked the next room. She looked up at me as I passed, her eyes tracking my every move, but I didn't give her a single glance. Right now, she was nothing but background noise. The moment I stepped out of the villa and into the sticky morning air, Evan fell into step right beside me. He took one look at my face, and when he saw my stormy expression, he didn't dare ask questions; he just waited for the hammer to drop. "Freeze her bank accounts," I turned to him, my voice flat and final

CHAPTER 175 — No Next Time

~ ALISTAIR ~ The silence that followed his little speech was thick, heavy, and utterly ridiculous. I stood next to his hospital bed, looking down at him as the rapid, frantic beeping of his heart monitor filled the gaps between us. Then, a slow, humorless smile crept onto my face—followed by a breathless, sarcastic laugh escaping my throat, the sound hollow and sharp in the quiet room. "Next time?" I repeated, my voice dripping with mocking amusement. I took a slow step forward, resting my hands flat against the metal railing of his bed, leaning over him just enough to make the shadow of my frame block out the overhead lights. "Look at yourself, Simon," I murmured, my eyes tracing the thick white bandages wrapped around his torso, the bruised, yellowing skin on his face, and the IV lines taped to his trembling hand. "You can barely sit upright without coughing up a lung. You think you can win against me?” Simon’s jaw clenched tight, his eyes flaring with that same despera

Chapter 176 — Silent Threat

~ ALISTAIR ~The promise hung quietly in the dimly lit space, a solid barrier between Isla and the vicious wreckage waiting outside those doors.I kept her tucked securely against my chest, feeling the gradual shift in her weight as her muscles finally relaxed. The exhaustion of the day, combined with the lingering effects of the sedative, was pulling her under. Slowly, the frantic tension in her posture melted away, her breathing settling into a deep, even rhythm against my shoulder.I waited until she was entirely asleep before I carefully eased her back onto the pillows. I pulled the thick hospital blanket up over her shoulders. My fingers brushed slightly against her soft skin, lingering for a fraction of a second on her cheek. She finally looked peaceful, completely unaware of the cold, systematic fury sharpening in my mind.After a few moments, I stepped back from the bed, careful not to make a sound on the floor and disturb her.Then, I looked down at my hands, flexing my finge

CHAPTER 177 — One Condition

~ ALISTAIR ~The voice was smooth, composed, and entirely devoid of the nervous tremor most people had when speaking to me.It didn't take me more than a second to place it. The calculated elegance, the slight tonal tilt—it was the very woman whose clean corporate profile I had been staring at just moments ago."Lindsay Morris," I stated, my voice dropping into a dangerously quiet register, low enough not to disturb the silence of the room where Isla slept.A faint, amused chuckle vibrated through the earpiece. "I’m glad my voice is memorable enough to be recognized by you, Mr. Montgomery. I was worried you might hang up before I had the chance to speak.""You should be more worried about how you got this number," I sneered, the cold venom bleeding into my tone. My grip tightened around the casing of the phone until the plastic groaned from the pressure. "My personal line isn't a public directory. Whoever sold it to you better enjoy the money, because I will make sure it's the last tr

CHAPTER 178 — The Price of Audacity

~ ALISTAIR ~The sheer audacity of her demand made my blood boil.Marry her? This woman was truly sick.There wasn't a flicker of reaction showing on my face, but internally, I wanted to laugh. For months, vultures had been circling my life, but Lindsay Morris had just walked straight into the firing line. She truly believed a few old secrets from a dead man's drawer were enough to bend me.Delusional.A slow, mocking smile—thin and completely devoid of warmth—curved the corners of my lips."You're bold, Ms. Morris," I murmured, my voice a flat, dead calm that cut straight through the soft music filtering through the restaurant. "But you are exceptionally naive."Lindsay’s soft, elegant mask didn't slip, but her posture visibly stiffened. The pleasant, gentle corporate woman she was projecting remained intact, but her eyes wavered slightly."I am practical, Alistair," she countered with a smirk, then leaned in just enough to keep her voice from traveling to the nearby tables. "You wan

CHAPTER 179 — Safe Harbor

~ ISLA ~The heavy fog of sleep slowly began to lift, and the sterile scent of antiseptic guided me back to consciousness.When my eyes fluttered open, the very first thing I saw was him. Alistair was sitting right beside my bed, his towering frame casting a protective shadow over me. His dark eyes were fixed entirely on my face, heavy with an intense, unreadable emotion.A quiet wave of relief washed through my chest, and a small, involuntary smile tugged at my lips.He was still here…The last time I had opened my eyes after that horrific hotel incident, he had walked out of the room almost immediately. A cold knot of worry had twisted in my stomach back then. I had been terrified that he was angry with me, or worse—that he actually believed the sickening trap someone had set up to frame me.But looking at him now, the warmth of his presence told me everything I needed to know. He didn't doubt me. He hadn't believed a single lie.I shifted slightly, realizing my hand was completely
