Mysterious Husband is Billionaire Morning Sickness and a Shocking Revelation
"Giselle, still sleeping? It's scorching hot; it's noon, you know!" Selena's voice jolted Giselle awake. She hadn't even realized her mother-in-law was standing beside her bed."Sorry, M-mother..." Giselle stammered, nerves jangling. A cough and approaching footsteps distracted her."Why are you still here? Go to the bathroom, at least wash those clothes piled up in the bucket. Don't be lazy after this. Remember, Giselle, Alessandro won't defend you if you act like this."This was the first time Giselle had heard her mother-in-law speak so sharply, so angrily. Had someone poisoned her mother-in-law's mind, making her take it out on Giselle?Alessandro entered the room, finding it cold and silent. "Mother, why are you here? What's going on?"The middle-aged woman folded her arms, glancing at Giselle. "I'm here to teach your wife a lesson. Look at her, still sleeping in bed while you've just returned from fishing. Do you think I'd be happy seeing her lazing around?"Giselle hung h

"Alessandro, where have you been?" Alessandro turned at the sound of his name. Seeing Netty hurrying towards him, he knew she had something to say. "What is it?" "I need to tell you something about your wife, Giselle." Alessandro frowned. "Giselle? What's wrong with her?" Netty took a breath. "Your wife... she's pregnant!" "It's just a guess, a logical one. We talked, and I told you to take her to the clinic; don't just rely on herbal remedies." Alessandro fell silent, contemplating the future. "Okay, I'll go back." **"Look, you're dehydrated. Were you like this before?" The midwife at the clinic complained after examining Giselle. Giselle, realizing she'd lost weight, said, "It's been three weeks. You should eat more fruits and nutritious food." Alessandro pondered the midwife's advice. Giselle was clearly struggling to adapt to life in the isolated village. Poor thing! But

"Holy crap! Every grocery store on this island is out of supplies!" The announcement caused a commotion among Giselle's neighbors. Panic set in as Alessandro spoke, "So, how are we supposed to shop?" "We're out of staples at home too! There's still rice at the store, right?" Raffaele responded with a shrug. "Life on a remote island is tough. If the supply ship doesn't come, people struggle to find basic necessities." Giselle slumped. "If there's no rice, what am I going to eat? She leaned in and whispered to her husband, "How long do we usually wait for the supply ship?" Alessandro pondered, sighing with a forced smile. "I can't say for sure. It could be a month, maybe two." That long? Giselle was shocked. She'd never imagined this. But her in-laws and sister-in-law seemed calm and unbothered. "Alessandro, being the head of the family isn't just about marriage, you know that, right?" Selena suddenly spoke, in

Before her husband returned, Giselle tidied their room. Her gaze fell upon a phone she'd kept for a while. "I should have sold this thing instead of letting it gather dust." Regret washed over her when she realized the village had no electricity. Regret was useless. Giselle never expected to end up in such a remote, isolated place. How did people here communicate? Giselle took several deep breaths. At that moment, Alessandro's voice echoed, the door opening. "Honey, are you ready? Let's go!" Giselle emerged in a long-sleeved shirt and sweatpants, anticipating the cold weather. Alessandro nodded approvingly. "Oh, did you eat? I just bought these..." Giselle slammed the door shut, startling Alessandro."Why'd you close the door?" "This might sound weird, but if Mother or Father see this, they'll make fun of me again. I don't want that." Giselle's frustration was evident. Alessandro sighed, but Giselle, unfa

"The baby's born!"Hearing the baby's cry, Alessandro breathed a sigh of relief. In an instant, the house filled with curious onlookers. "I can't believe Alessandro finally has a son!""Alessandro, are you recovered? Your wife just gave birth; she can't work alone. You know what I mean."Alessandro nodded to the midwife. "Yes, it's thanks to the medicine you gave. Thank you for your advice."His gaze shifted to Giselle, her condition alarming. She was incredibly thin and pale. "Giselle, you need to eat a lot to recover. For now, be patient. You know your husband is also just recovering, right?"It sounded offhand, but Giselle was happy to feel cared for. Throughout her pregnancy, she'd been frequently ill, worrying the healthcare workers.She remembered their warning about a possible C-section. But the delivery had gone well, and she was grateful.The mountain of housework was now her biggest concern. She wanted to complain but couldn't fight her fate, however difficult it was.

The door creaked open, revealing Alessandro, his face etched with fury. He saw Selena, her eyes pleading, trapped in a tense standoff with a burly man. "What the hell is going on here?" he roared. The man, whom Selena had called David, smirked. "Kid, this ain't your business. It's between me and the lady." Selena tried to pull away. "But... can't you wait until my husband gets home?" Alessandro, seeing his mother's distress, was about to unleash his anger, but Netty's voice stopped him. "Please, Alessandro, no violence. If anyone's to blame, it's me. I'm the reason Dad's in debt." Alessandro was stunned. "What do you mean, Netty? Dad's in debt? To a loan shark?" Selena, seizing the opportunity to shift the blame, answered. "It's because of your sister's education. Your father's unemployed, you know." Alessandro hesitated, but David’s voice cut through the air. "I don't need your drama. Pay up, or get out!" His eyes l

Netty fell silent, pondering David's words. She realized this might be her chance to rewrite her destiny. She wouldn't return home; she would start a new life, far from the shadows of debt and exploitation.Suddenly, a commotion erupted outside. David stopped, his brow furrowing. The shouts and struggle sent a jolt of surprise and panic through him."What's going on?" he muttered, listening intently.From the window, Netty saw Alessandro grappling with several men – thugs, clearly hired by David. Alessandro was trying to protect his younger sister.David cursed under his breath. "Damn! They came sooner than I expected!" He shoved Netty away, urging her to flee. "Go! Hide! Don't let them see you!"Fear gnawed at Netty, but she managed to shout a warning. "Don't hurt my brother! Just get rid of him and let's settle this!" Before Alessandro noticed her, she seized the opportunity, escaping David and hiding behind stacks of cardboard in an abandoned warehouse.Her heart pounded as the s

Degh! Giselle was stunned to see her mother-in-law suddenly standing in front of her. "Mom, what's wrong? Isn't breakfast enough? You just relax, I'll cook it again..." However, Giselle responded with a glare, "Why isn't Netty at home? Do you know where she went?" Giselle swallowed, a question she couldn't even answer because she didn't know her sister-in-law's whereabouts. She deliberately stalled for time, glancing around the room and finally remembering something that could distract her, "Oh, it seems like she's on business or she's busy with her work. I heard that Netty got a job recently."Looking at her mother-in-law's empty glass, Giselle took another sip of the warm drink and served it back to the table. "The weather is getting hot, making us thirsty." Selena took another sip of Giselle's tea, then leaned back in the dining room chair and pondered.What on earth was the old woman thinking? Although she was a bit lazy, Giselle knew herself well as a daughter-in-law. She smi

Cover for me."The nurse immediately obeyed the doctor's sharp command.The doctor arrived to find a woman lying pale and still, blood staining the sheets.

Mischa let his henchman revel in his moment of triumph, then retreated. "Wait! You haven't been paid yet."Mischa's steps faltered. He smiled, raising an eyebrow. "How much do you want?""One hundred thousand dollars."Without hesitation, Mischa produced the cash. "However-" Before the man could snatch the money, Mischa continued, "Forty thousand will do for today! After all, haven't you got a new toy to play with?" He tossed the money at the man's feet.The man grumbled, protesting. "But this isn't what we agreed on! You don't know how hard I fought to get past those CCTV cameras-""Ahh, that's irrelevant. Go. If you don't want the money, give it back. This is the last time I'll pay you.""Can't you show some mercy-"His plea was ignored. Mischa walked away, the man trailing behind.Meanwhile, Giselle, still bound and terrified, frantically tried to break free. She scraped her hands against the rough wall, her skin bleeding. She had to escape, to find a way out...."I'll give Gis

Louis grabbed his chin viciously and received fierce stares from him. "Why—" Mischa still thought, if I tell the truth, would everything change?"Actually—" when Mischa tried to speak, Louis interrupted him. "I'll hear your words if it makes sense!""I-I just want the baby in my womb to have a father. Even if he is not your flesh and blood, do you just hope that you will consider him your son?""What?" Louis reacted in shock and squeezed his hair roughly, "Enough Mischa! Don't go any further, this is already a great insult to me and my family." Deep expressions of disappointment were clearly visible on his face. She couldn't believe it, and Mischa instead made her a cover for her disgrace. Really, a very heartless woman! "Forgive me Louis, I mentioned this reason for the sake of our relationship. Ever since Netty was by your side, you didn't even glance at me at all...""Unfortunately I'm too stupid to trust people like you so easily. If I had known from the beginning, I wouldn't
Mysterious Husband is Billionaire The Night the Whiskey Talked
Louis wasn’t driving himself home. He’d opted for a cab, pulling up in front of a bar he hadn’t visited in ages. Stepping inside, the place was a whirlwind of young, reckless revelers and dancers grooving to the thumping DJ music. He weaved through the crowd, grabbing a drink the moment he spotted an empty stool.“Louis! What the hell are you doing?” Lucas appeared, his voice sharp, as he caught sight of his twin brother knocking back shots of hard liquor.“Louis, have you lost your mind? Your wife’s waiting at home, and you’re here, getting plastered?”Lucas tried to snatch the shot glass, but Louis held firm, his voice surprisingly calm. “Why the rush? Let’s relax and drink this stuff until we’re happy. Don’t worry about the cost.”This was getting out of hand. Louis wasn’t usually a drinker; this change was unsettling. Lucas needed to get him out of there before the alcohol did more damage. “Damn it! How do I even contact Mischa? My phone’s still in the car.”“Still want to wa
Mysterious Husband is Billionaire Shattered Vows
Louis’s words hung in the air, sharp as a threat. Mischa wondered if the woman with the long nails and platinum blonde hair was deliberately trying to drive a wedge between them. Giselle watched the woman discreetly. When Louis excused himself to make a call, Mischa casually pulled a cigarette from her purse and lit it, the acrid smell of tobacco instantly filling the room. Giselle coughed. "Excuse me, but this is a non-smoking area. There's a sign right over there."Mischa glanced at the sign Giselle indicated, then rolled her eyes. "And I care?"Giselle took a deep breath, composing herself. Just as Louis returned, Netty's doctor emerged from the room. "Doctor, how is my sister-in-law?" Giselle asked anxiously."She's still unconscious. We'll be monitoring her hourly. Please, try to stay calm."Louis was about to enter Netty's room, but Mischa stopped him. "Can't we just go home? You've already done so much…" Her plea hung unspoken in the air."No! Can't you see someone's life is

TimeBack at his apartment, Mischa tossed and turned, unable to sleep. She glanced at the clock. "It's 2:00 AM."She sat up, leaning against the pillows, blinking sleepily, then checked her phone – still dark. Her breath hitched. Louis was going to see Netty. "I have to make sure Netty stays away from my husband," she muttered, a knot tightening in her stomach.She picked up her phone, intending to distract herself with social media. A post stopped her cold. Her husband was at the hospital!"This is weird. I need to find out what he's doing there."***2:05 AM"Ms. Netty needs type B blood. We're looking for donors…" Louis remembered the doctor's words to his sister, Giselle. He decided then and there to donate."Excuse me, doctor, I'm here to donate blood…" Louis knocked before entering the doctor's office."Come in…"He was calm, but worry etched his face."Your name?""Louis Halle.""Since you're close to the patient, are you willing to donate?" the doctor asked, observing

The whispers followed Giselle like a shadow. "They say she never got her mother's love, not even as a baby," one voice hissed. Another chimed in, "Really? Where'd you hear that?" Giselle’s cheeks burned. The judging stares felt like knives. But the whispers died down abruptly as a figure appeared – Alessandro, her husband. "Al-Alessandro..." breathed the gossips. Their attention shifted back to their shopping, the initial purpose of their visit to Giselle’s grocery store. Alessandro’s arrival transformed Giselle's frown into a radiant smile. Serving her customers, she was noticeably more relaxed. Alessandro, however, watched her with a tender gaze, a small smile playing on his lips. Netty, noticing this exchange, chuckled softly. Despite the storms they’d weathered, Giselle felt incredibly fortunate to have him. And now, cradled in her arms, their beautiful baby boy, Leon, completed their picture. Once the last customer left, Giselle
