All Chapters of HIS UNWANTED WIFEY: Chapter 1 - Chapter 10

Sophia's POVMy socks squeak against the kitchen floor as I move to the beat blasting from my old music player.“Yay!” I clapped my hands in victory after finally nailing the new dance routine I’ve been practicing all week. I catch my reflection in the oven door — I was sweaty, messy, but still grinning like an idiot.“You can do this.” I murmur to myself before I launch into a long pirouette.And of course… the back of my heel hits the counter.“Ugh! Stupid idea …” I gritted my teeth while kicking the counter with my other leg as of it was its idea to turn turn in the kitchen.“Totally a national championship material.” Slow clapping comes from behind me.I turn and find Lisa leaning in the doorway with a mug, wearing that smirk she always had whenever she is mocking me.“Should I order you a wheelchair now?” she asks. “You’re going to need it when you finally break something.”“Not funny,” I shoot back and walk to turn the music player down. “And for the record, this is the start o

Ethan's POVI stand by the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, watching the shiny city below me.The whiskey glass in my hand is nearly empty, the last of the amber liquid catch the faint glow of the setting sun. It should’ve been beautiful. It should have calmed me but the storm in my chest is beyond control.Frozen accounts. Banned from the properties.A forced marriage.Sophia Carter.The name alone makes my lips curl in disgust.I can already see her in my head—dull, plain, probably the type of a girl that wears beige cardigans and sensible shoes, with a voice like a chalkboard scratch that is always ready to lecture about “responsibility.” Holier-than-thou. Sanctimonious. The kind of woman who’d think she can fix me.I scoff and toss back the last of my drink. “Sophia Carter,” I mutter, the name tasting like ash on my lips,“What a joke.”Then I hear it….the sharp chime of the elevator. My frown deepen.Who is that? No one knows I'm here.Not even the workers can co

Sophia's POV★ The Carters’ Family House ★† 5:00 PMThe sound of the paper hitting the table felt louder than a gunshot.“Just sign it, Sophia.”I flinched.My eyes dropped to the contract, then slowly lifted back to my father’s face. My throat tightened so badly I almost choked on my own breath.“What?” My voice cracked. “Really, Dad? You agreed to this behind my back?”“Behind your back?” He leaned forward, elbows on the table, his voice dropping. “You know about this, Soph.”“Don’t call me that.” I said,my hands curling into fists. My whole body started shaking.“Don’t fucking call me that.”His brows furrowed in confusion, but the words were already pouring out of me, hot and broken.“The man who calls me that is a sweet, loving father. The kind who promised to protect me every second of my life.” My voice shattered. “I don’t even recognize you anymore. Why would you do this to me?”I’d never cussed at my family before.Never.But something inside me snapped. There was no room

Sophia's POV“I’m sorry I couldn’t do anything to help you, my baby.”My mum’s hands cup my head, warm and trembling, like she’s afraid I might disappear if she lets go. Her voice is soft, guilty, tired. Too tired.I lean into her touch. She’s finally okay,finally home. Alive and strong.“It’s fine, Mum,” I say, forcing my lips to curve inti a smile. “I’m just glad you’re well and back with us.”The smile stays on my face, but my mind is a jungle—thick, loud, impossible to clear.It’s been a week.One week since my dad submitted the betrothal agreement papers to the Blackwoods.One week since my freedom was quietly folded, signed, and handed over.The Blackwoods kept their promise. Of course they did...People like them always do—when it benefits them.They paid for my mum’s treatment. Not just treatment, VIP treatment,private room,best doctors,nurses that smiled too much and machines that beeped like hope.My dad got early retirement. Every bill disappeared. Our fridge stayed fu

Unedited…apologize for any error you might find.)Sophia's POVWhat?Ethan is here?With flowers?What the fuck?!Without waiting for Lisa to say anymore, I pushed her out of my way.I ran through the hallway with my heart racing. Ethan is here for me with—? Oh, this must be a dream.“Wait… Sophia,” Lisa shouted behind me.I slowed my steps down as I got to the staircase. It wouldn’t be so nice if I smashed my face down before Ethan.My head turned around, trying to find him as we got to the living room.Then I saw him, but he looked a bit different.“Is this Ethan?” I asked myself, but I didn’t know I was too loud.“Ethan?” Lisa said with her face twisted with mockery.“I thought you said Ethan is waiting downstairs...”“And you think the almighty Blackwood heir will come here?” Lisa chuckled, “I said Aiden, that’s the name of his driver.”“Oooh,” I muttered. I rolled my eyes and walked toward the man—Aiden.“Hello, Mr. Aiden,” I greeted and he turned to me. He was well-dressed in a
