All Chapters of The Billionaire’s Unwanted Wife: Chapter 31 - Chapter 40

~ Emmerson ~Leukemia!The singular word kept ringing in my head like a distant echo.Over the past few hours… I had turned the internet upside down in my quest to search for every single thing I could find on the deadly illness.And soon stumbled on an article that talks about how it is a disease that happens to less than five in hundred thousand kids.So why does it have to be my daughter?!But come to think of… If Lily had leukemia… What’s the probability that her twin doesn’t? I’d asked.My fear was eradicated after a few more research as I soon figured that it was very possible for one twin to be affected by the deadly illness and the other left unaffected.“Dad… what happened to me?” were the first words my daughter said when she opened her eyes. Though color has returned to her cheeks… she still looked so frail. And just the thought of what cancer is doing to her body system… makes me want to rage. Oh… how I wish cancer were a person I could take down with a few blows!“You f

~ Emmerson ~It’s been over an hour since Isabella and I sat in front of each other in the reception… while the doctor’s ran some tests on Lily. I stole a glance at her, and relaxed when she wasn’t looking at me. Her gaze was looking downwards, her palms clasped on her laps, and I couldn’t help but wonder what she was thinking about. “Mr Winters.” The Doctor’s words interrupted my thoughts and I watched Isabella’s gaze move upwards in sharp alert. It almost felt like she’d been waiting for that moment since forever. “Is she okay?” She spoke before I could.“Yes, she is… she’d be commencing chemotherapy next week and hopefully it all gets better…”“Okay….”“But…?!”He smiled, as if expecting we’d asked that question. “The bone marrow transplant is still very much important… and the soon we’d done it… the better.”“Okay, Doctor….” He smiled, before walking away… probably back to his office or to see other patients.I hated this place!Yet, I sat down back… gazing blankly at the whit

~ Isabella ~I found myself going back on the memory line, to the very first time… I’d heard of Emmerson Winters. I was in junior high school when I first heard about him… the exceptional teen who was already making millions in real estate. The first news of him had caused a stir in our entire school, and almost everyone wanted to meet him… including me.Though unlike the other girls who made their affection for him obvious… mine had been on a low-key level, where I had conducted numerous secret research projects on him.He’d seemed interesting and impressive to me… until I later found out about Sally, his high school sweetheart, and well… took several steps backwards. It was a well-known fact that the best way to experience a bitter heartache is to be head over heels in love with a guy who has a girlfriend he loves and adores… and well, I didn’t want to go through that pain. I’d assumed my feelings had completely faded until we got married in an arranged manner. Though my barest

~ Isabella ~"Look who we’ve got here… the newest Americana.” I heard Kane’s amusement-filled voice as I walked into his office. It was as cozy and clean as I remember… even though he sometimes does general consultations for his patients here. “Hiii,” I say when he gets closer and wraps his arms around me. I took a deep breath in his all-too-familiar embrace. “How is she doing?” His arms tightened around me… like a protective covering. If only it could protect me from everything and, most importantly, the decisions I’d have to make in the coming weeks. “Could be better.” I’d found myself sighing.“Gab texted to say she enjoyed her time with you.” The reminder of his sister made me smile… and I had to admit that I adore their sibling relationship and bond.“I did too… She’s very interesting…” in a way that reminds me of the female leads in my favorite romance novels who fell in love with their brother’s brother. I wonder what Kane would do when he finds out… though he didn’t seem l

~ Isabella ~“Thank you for bringing her.” His soft masculine voice broke the silence that has befallen us. “Yeah…” I said simply, now staring at the night sky… in wonder. I couldn’t shake the scene of Lily bonding with her twin out of my head. It reminded me so much of Emily and what could have been if we’d just been like normal twins. Would life have been different if we were?And there was Carl Rogers, whose thoughts had suddenly filled my mind… What would it be like to be his daughter?No… not the daughter of a rich man… but someone whom I felt so safe in his arms with, like I had with my dad?What would it be like really?But I soon got snapped out of my thoughts by his next words. “Will you still be pursuing the law suit?”“What do you think?” I turned to face him… And I had to admit, he looked so much different from when we were married. Not just in appearance, but he didn’t give off the aloof and arrogant aura as he’d done then.“A mother would do anything for her child.” He
