Chapter: CHAPTER 60Selly sat on the park bench she and Renata used to share, but today it felt far too wide and empty. Leaves drifted down lazily around her as a cool afternoon breeze brushed across her face, yet it did nothing to ease the gnawing anxiety that had been eating away at her for the past month.It had been a full month since Renata last showed up to class. There was no clear explanation. Her replies to messages were short and distant, phone calls went unanswered, and every time Selly went to her old apartment, the door remained tightly locked. Only once had Renata opened it — her face deathly pale, eyes hollow, and her smile painfully forced. After that, Renata had pulled away even further.Selly stared at her phone screen, forehead creased with worry. Her last message to Renata had gone unread for two days.Selly: Ren, I’m really worried about you. Are you okay? At least text me once a day. I miss you.She let out a long sigh and leaned back against the bench, her mind spinning. Was Renata

Chapter: CHAPTER 59Dominic said nothing more. He simply stared at Renata for several long seconds, his eyes dark and intense, before leaning down. With strong but careful movements, he slid one arm beneath her back and the other under her knees, lifting her effortlessly as if she weighed nothing.Renata let out a soft gasp, her arms instinctively wrapping around his neck. She was still bare from the waist down, her skirt long since pushed up and useless. Every shift made her swollen, aching pussy throb with fresh sensitivity, and she bit down hard on her lower lip to stifle a whimper of pain.“Slowly, Daddy…” she whispered weakly, burying her face in the crook of his neck.“Shh,” Dominic murmured, his voice low and steady. “I’ve got you.”He carried her through the living room and into the main bathroom. The dim lights turned on automatically as they entered. He gently set her down on the edge of the large marble bathtub, then turned on the faucet. Warm water began to fill the tub, steam rising softly a

Chapter: CHAPTER 58Dominic had just killed the engine of his car in the basement of his luxury apartment building when his phone vibrated in the pocket of his suit jacket. Today had been more exhausting than usual—endless faculty meetings, students asking ridiculous questions, and his thoughts constantly drifting back to Renata. The girl had barely replied to his messages for the past two days. Only half-hearted emojis and curt answers that were clearly forced.He grabbed his work bag from the passenger seat and walked toward the private elevator with tired but determined strides. The moment the apartment door closed behind him, Dominic tossed his jacket onto the sofa, loosened his tie, and poured himself a generous glass of whiskey. The night was still young, but his body was already craving something stronger than coffee.He had just settled into the chair at his work desk when his phone vibrated again. This time, it wasn’t a regular message.An email.From: Cedric Harrington Subject: For You, Pak Dom

Chapter: CHAPTER 57But Cedric didn’t care—not even a little. He only grew more savage, thrusting into her again and again like a massive hammer pounding without mercy. Each brutal impact jolted Renata’s body violently, her breasts bouncing painfully with the force. He sank his teeth deep into her neck, sharp and unrelenting, leaving angry red marks that would bloom into dark bruises by morning. His left hand squeezed her breast with cruel brutality, fingers pinching her nipple so hard she screamed louder, the pain shooting straight through her like a blade to the bone.“This is your punishment, Ren,” he hissed against her ear, his breath hot and heavy, thick with hellish heat. “You like it rough, don’t you? Just like you did with my father. You’re nothing but a cheap slut who craves a big cock, aren’t you?”Renata sobbed without end, tears soaking the crumpled pillow until it was drenched. Her body tried weakly to resist, hips twisting away on instinct, but Cedric was too strong, too merciless. With a r

Chapter: CHAPTER 56Her legs unsteady, Renata felt like a broken doll being dragged mercilessly by Cedric. The cold night air bit into her skin as they stepped out of the apartment building, sharp enough to pierce bone, but it was nothing compared to the icy dread that had frozen her heart solid. She didn’t dare scream—the thought of Selly hearing, of dragging her best friend deeper into this nightmare, sealed her lips shut. Cedric’s grip on her wrist felt like a burning iron shackle: no visible bruises, but it seared straight into her soul, making every second feel like eternal torment. She tried tugging her hand away, gently at first, but he only tightened his hold, his dark eyes flashing a silent, chilling warning that made her tremble.Cedric’s car—a sleek black sedan that still carried the sharp scent of new leather—waited in the dimly lit, damp underground garage. The stench of engine oil and exhaust fumes stung Renata’s nose until she thought she might be sick, but fear clamped everything down. He

Chapter: CHAPTER 55That morning, the campus café they usually went to felt colder than usual. Not because of the air conditioning, but because of the uneasy tension hanging thick in the air. Selly sat at a corner table by the window, her back straight but her shoulders tight, one hand wrapped around a cup of coffee that had long since lost its warmth. She had deliberately chosen a quieter spot—far enough from the crowd, yet still within view of others.For safety.So there would be witnesses if Cedric decided to lose control.Cedric arrived right on time, as always. He looked worn down, his eyes red and sunken, as if he hadn’t slept at all the night before. He took the seat across from Selly and offered the familiar faint smile that used to melt her heart every time. But now she knew better—that smile was hollow, stripped of sincerity.“Hey, Sel,” he greeted softly, reaching out as if to take her hand across the table. “Are you okay? I was really worried last night when you just walked away like that.”

THE BILLIONAIRE'S UNWANTED WIFE
Emely married Alexander Winchester—the billionaire who chose her not out of love, but because a family arrangement demanded it. For an entire year, she tried to build a warm home and a future for them, yet all she ever received was his icy indifference and a gaze that reminded her she would never be enough.
When Emely failed to get pregnant, Alexander made a devastating choice: he hired another woman to carry his male heir. Emely agreed, clinging to the hope that saving their marriage was still possible… even if their marriage had never been built on love to begin with.
But fate had plans neither of them could control.
The surrogate became pregnant and so did Emely. When the surrogate delivered a son while Emely gave birth to a daughter, her status in the Winchester family collapsed instantly. Overnight, she became the unwanted wife, the mother who didn’t matter, the woman who had failed to produce the heir they valued above all else.
Everyone expected her to break. Instead… Emely rose.
She returned to work, rebuilt herself piece by piece, and shone brighter than ever—catching the eye of the one man no one saw coming: Steven Hale, Alexander’s most ruthless business rival.
A man who saw Emely’s worth from the very beginning. A man who was willing to fight for her.
And just when Alexander finally realized that the woman he’d neglected was the only one he could never live without—Emely was no longer standing alone.
Now only one question remains:
Will Emely return to the man who shattered her into pieces… or choose the one who was ready to protect her from the very start?

Chapter: CHAPTER 175: ENDINGEMELYA soft cry pulled me from sleep earlier than usual. I blinked slowly, still half-conscious, before reaching for the small body beside me. Chloe stirred restlessly in my arms, her face flushed, her lips pursed as if searching for something.“I’m here… I’m here, sweetheart,” I murmured.With practiced ease, I adjusted her position and began to nurse her. The moment she found what she was looking for, she calmed. Her cries faded into soft, rhythmic suckling.Leaning back against the headboard, I let my body relax. The morning was still too quiet. Sunlight hadn’t fully filled the room yet. All I could hear was Chloe’s breathing and the steady ticking of the clock on the wall.For a while, I simply watched her in silence.Her tiny face looked so peaceful. Unaware of anything. Unaware of the chaos that had once swallowed my life whole. Unaware of fear, betrayal, or the wounds I had carried.And maybe… that’s how it should be.My hand moved gently along her back. A flicker of guilt cro

Chapter: CHAPTER 174: The Feeling He Can’t DenySTEVENI rarely lose focus when I’m driving. At least, that’s what I’ve always believed.But this afternoon, for the first time in a long while, my mind isn’t truly on the road. My hands remain steady on the wheel, my eyes fixed ahead, yet my awareness… it’s still back on that park bench.In the moment Emely hugged me without hesitation. In the second her cheeks flushed and she pulled away so quickly. And in that instant when she stumbled into my arms, so close I could feel the warmth of her breath.I let out a quiet breath. The memory is too vivid. Too real.I glance sideways at the passenger seat. Emely sits there, looking out the window. Her hair falls softly along her cheek, brushed by the afternoon light streaming through the glass. She looks calm, much calmer than she was before. And somehow, that makes my chest feel even heavier.Without realizing it, the corner of my lips lifts slightly. Damn it. I didn’t expect my feelings to grow this far. At first, it was simple. I just wan

Chapter: CHAPTER 173: A New Beginning Between UsEMELYThe moment my eyes met Alexander’s, I felt my hand being gently pulled—then quietly clasped by Steven. For a heartbeat, my pulse quickened. Strangely, though, I didn’t pull away. Not even when I saw the wounded look in Alexander’s eyes. If anything, there was a faint, guilty flicker of satisfaction deep in my chest.“Let’s go,” Steven said softly.I gave a small nod. As I turned and walked toward the exit, my steps felt oddly light. As if something heavy had finally slipped off my shoulders… yet at the same time, it left behind a hollow space I didn’t quite know how to fill.The courthouse doors opened behind us, the noise inside fading into the calm of the outside air. A gentle breeze brushed against my face the moment I stepped into the courtyard. I paused, drawing in a slow breath.The air felt different today fresher, lighter. After everything, after all the waiting and enduring… this day had finally come. Alexander had been sentenced. Lorian too.I’d be lying if I said I di

Chapter: CHAPTER 172: LateALEXANDERTime moves strangely in this place. It doesn’t feel fast, but it isn’t truly slow either. Days pass without meaning, one blending into the next. Hearing after hearing unfolds like a forced routine—sit, listen, deny, and return to the same suffocating room.At first, I treated all of this like a game. A flaw in the system that would eventually be corrected. I had money. I had connections. I had ways out. At least, that’s what I believed. But as time dragged on, those things began to crumble, one by one. The evidence kept piling up, too neat, too precise to deny. Recorded voices. Transaction trails. And worst of all, Lorian’s confession, painfully honest. Her name echoes in my head like a sound that refuses to fade. That woman dragged me here. Or maybe we dragged each other. I’m not sure anymore.Today, the courtroom feels different. There are more people than usual. Some faces I don’t recognize, others I’ve seen so often they’ve become dull. But this time, no one is really sp

Chapter: CHAPTER 171: The Moment of BetrayalALEXANDERCold.The first thing I registered when my consciousness finally returned wasn’t pain—but the cold creeping slowly from my feet into my bones. The metal chair beneath me felt hard, unforgiving. My wrists were bound, slightly numb, slightly sore.I opened my eyes.A harsh white light glared down from directly above, stabbing into my vision. Instinctively, I squinted. It took a few seconds before my sight adjusted to the cramped room around me. One of them leaned back casually, arms crossed over his chest. The other stood straight, watching me as if I weren’t human at all, just an object under observation.I drew a slow breath. My throat felt dry.“You’re finally awake.”I didn’t answer right away. I just looked at them in turn, then shifted my shoulder slightly, trying to ignore the pain radiating from my right leg.Damn it. The gunshot wound hadn’t been properly treated.“Do you know where you are?” the other one asked.I gave a small shake of my head. “If this is a hotel, t

Chapter: CHAPTER 170: Loving in SilenceSTEVENThe faint scent of antiseptic lingered in the air as I slowly opened my eyes. The white hospital ceiling came into view, strangely both foreign and familiar at the same time. My body still felt heavy, but not as bad as yesterday.Something had changed.My chest rose and fell slowly. I blinked a few times, adjusting to the soft morning light filtering through the curtains. It spilled across the side of my bed, creating a calm, almost too calm atmosphere for a situation like this.Without meaning to, my thoughts drifted back to last night.To that moment with Emely. The kiss. My heartbeat stuttered, then picked up again, faster than before. Her face flashed in my mind. The warmth of her touch. The kiss that shouldn’t have happened, and yet it did. My jaw tightened slightly.Strangely, guilt wasn’t the first thing that surfaced. It was something more unsettling. My heart had lost its rhythm for a moment, only to return beating in a way that felt dangerously alive.I exhaled slowly

Chapter: The Last WarningELENANot long after the phone rang, Cedric finally walked away.I kept staring at the doorway for several more seconds, almost expecting him to come back and tell me everything he'd just said was nothing more than a cruel joke.But the hallway outside had already fallen silent again. I slowly let out a shaky breath, though my heart refused to settle. Worse, every word Cedric had spoken kept replaying inside my head. I squeezed my eyes shut.If Cedric ever remembered everything—especially that the baby growing inside me was his—then it would all be over.Without realizing it, I clasped my hands tightly together in my lap. His questions had become sharper with every passing day. At first, he had only been curious about the butterfly hair clip. Then he started noticing my little habits. After that, he met Mom.And now he was beginning to doubt the answers he'd convinced himself to believe. I bit my lip hard. If that night had never happened, maybe our lives wouldn't have become this com

Chapter: My Instinct Says It's YouCEDRICFor a long moment, Elena didn't answer.Her eyes stayed fixed on me. The color slowly drained from her face as her fingers tightened around the wheelchair's armrest until her knuckles turned white. The room fell into an unsettling silence.I had no intention of pressuring her. For some reason, I simply wanted to see how she'd react. And the reaction she gave was nothing like I'd expected."Why aren't you saying anything?" I asked quietly.Elena blinked several times before finally turning her face away."I've already answered that question.""I know.""Then why are you asking me again?""Because your answer never truly convinced me."She swallowed hard."I don't know what you mean."I let out a slow breath."At first, I thought all of this was just a coincidence."Without realizing it, my gaze drifted to the butterfly hair clip still nestled in her hair."But the longer this goes on..." I murmured, "the more those coincidences keep piling up."Elena remained silent."The hair c

Chapter: The Butterfly MysteryCEDRICFor a few moments, I couldn't take my eyes off the woman sitting in the wheelchair before me.Elena held my gaze for only a heartbeat before quickly looking away, as though she couldn't bear to meet my eyes any longer.Lilian, standing between us, let out a soft chuckle."The world really is a small place." She smiled warmly. "Who would've thought you two already knew each other?"I glanced at Elena."Yeah," I murmured. "I never imagined Elena would turn out to be my brother Edward's wife."Lilian's eyes widened."Really? Oh my goodness... is that true?"Meanwhile, Elena kept her head lowered. Her hands gripped the wheelchair's armrests tightly, as if she wished this conversation would end as soon as possible."Yes, Mom," she answered quietly. "He's Edward's younger brother."Lilian stared at me in disbelief."Good heavens... does that mean we're actually family?"I nodded."Yes. Edward is my older brother.""No wonder..." Lilian laughed softly, lightly tapping her forehead. "I

Chapter: So You're Lilian's DaughterELENA“You don’t have to keep smiling like that, Mom.”I stirred the pieces of fruit in my small bowl as I watched Lilian. She’d been noticeably brighter than usual ever since I arrived.“How can I not smile?” she replied. “The doctor said everything is moving in the right direction.”A small smile tugged at my lips. It had been so long since I’d seen her look this peaceful. For months, every time I came to visit, all I saw was exhaustion. Sometimes she tried to hide it from me. Sometimes she pretended she was fine.But I knew. I knew how much she had been carrying all this time. That was why hearing the news about a potential donor yesterday had felt nothing short of a miracle.“I’m happy too, Mom.”Lilian reached for my hand and squeezed my fingers gently.“Now it’s your turn to take care of yourself.” Her gaze dropped to my ankle, still wrapped in bandages. “I’m not done scolding you for being careless on the road.”A soft laugh escaped me.“Then I’d better recover quickly so I can

Chapter: A Trail of ButterfliesCEDRIC“What’s with that look on your face? Why do you look so miserable?”I simply chuckled and shrugged when Gavin shot me a strange look. The clock on the wall already read nine o’clock. I stepped into the room and let out a quiet sigh.“It’s nothing. Just a slight misunderstanding,” I said at last.“With who? Your brother?”“Yeah.”Gavin clicked his tongue immediately.“Well, that’s hardly surprising.”I laughed softly.“I’m not sure whether to take that as support or an insult.”“Both.”Shaking my head, I pulled a chair beside his bed and sat down. For some reason, the argument with Edward kept replaying in my mind. Especially the look on his face. I’d known Edward almost my entire life. Because of that, I knew exactly when my brother was annoyed, angry, or simply trying to control a situation as usual. But earlier had been different. He had genuinely lost control. And it had all been because of Elena.“So?” Gavin interrupted my thoughts. “What exactly were you arguing about that

Chapter: The Price of HopeELENAI didn’t even realize when Edward became absorbed in his phone again. Ever since he’d delivered that threat, he hadn’t said another word. Silence settled back over the room. The occasional notification chimed from his phone as his fingers moved relentlessly across the screen, as though the conversation we’d just had had never happened at all.Meanwhile, I remained sitting stiffly on the hospital bed. I had tried to be careful. I had tried to do everything Edward wanted. Yet somehow, there was always something that left him dissatisfied. Slowly, I turned my head toward the window. The sky outside was beginning to darken.And for the first time that day, I felt truly exhausted. Without realizing it, I had been carrying this feeling for years—ever since I married Edward Ashford. At first, I always believed things would get better with time. That if I was patient enough, obedient enough, understanding enough, Edward would eventually see how hard I was trying.But year after year pas
