THE DOCTOR'S BEAUTIFUL WIFE. Chapter 117
**The Unraveling**Isabelle stood frozen outside Michael’s apartment, her mind spinning with the tangled web of secrets and half-truths she had just uncovered. Eric’s warning still echoed in her head. “You’re dealing with people who don’t play by the same rules.” And now, the cryptic phone call had added another layer of fear to an already growing sense of danger.She needed answers—answers that Michael wasn’t ready to give her, and answers that, at this moment, seemed just out of reach. As much as she hated the idea of playing games with him, she knew she had no choice but to confront him directly. It wasn’t just about the past anymore; it was about her future. It was about Clara, and the baby, and the safety of the people she cared about.Her fingers gripped her phone tighter as she dialed Andrew’s number. It was time to stop being cautious. It was time to take control of this situation, no matter the cost.Andrew’s voice on the other end of the line was tense. “Isabelle? What happe

** The Shadow's Edge**Isabelle's breath caught in her throat as the sound of the approaching car grew louder. Her heart pounded in her chest, every instinct screaming at her to leave, to run. But where could she go? Michael had just been taken, and now, there was no safe place left to hide. The room felt colder, the walls closing in around her as the car came to a halt outside the building.Her phone buzzed again, snapping her out of her frantic thoughts. It was Andrew. "Isabelle, are you okay?"She hesitated for a moment, looking around the dimly lit apartment. Everything was too quiet, too still. The danger she felt wasn’t just in the air—it was inside her too, a gnawing certainty that something far worse was about to unfold.“I’m not sure,” she texted back, her hands trembling as she typed. “Something’s happening. They took him, Andrew. I don’t know who they are, but they’re dangerous. I can’t stay here.”She didn’t wait for his response. Isabelle shoved the phone into her pocket

** The Unexpected Ally**The silence that followed Michael’s departure was deafening. Isabelle stood frozen in the shadows, her breath coming in shallow gasps as she tried to process what had just happened. The image of Michael, lifeless and distant, was burned into her mind. Something was horribly wrong, and the stakes had never been higher.Behind her, Eric shifted uneasily, but Isabelle didn’t turn to face him. She couldn’t. The sight of Michael, distant and hollow-eyed, haunted her, as did the knowledge that whatever was controlling him was stronger than anything she could comprehend."Isabelle, we need to go," Eric’s voice was low, urgent, yet still tinged with a note of hesitation. "The men who took Michael—they'll be back, and they'll come for you next. You're not safe here."She clenched her fists at her sides, unwilling to show weakness. “I’m not running away, Eric,” she said, her voice steady. “I’m not leaving without answers. I’m not leaving Michael to whatever that was bac

**The Unraveling Truth**The tension in the small, dimly lit room was almost unbearable. Isabelle sat frozen at the table, her hand still gripping the photograph. The edges of the torn map blurred in her vision, as if the reality of what she was seeing was too much to process. Michael had just spoken the words she never thought she’d hear—the ones that confirmed everything had been much bigger than she ever imagined.“You need to explain this to me, Michael,” Isabelle said, her voice trembling despite her attempt at sounding calm. Her gaze flickered from the photo to Michael’s face, looking for any sign of clarity, of the man she once knew.Michael’s expression remained unreadable, his jaw set, eyes dark with the weight of the secret he’d been carrying. He exhaled deeply, taking a step closer to Isabelle, but his gaze never left the map.“This map is the key to everything,” he began, his voice low, almost haunted. “It shows the locations of something I stumbled upon—something I wasn’t

**No Turning Back**The underground tunnels stretched endlessly before them, the dim overhead lights flickering as Isabelle, Michael, and Eric moved swiftly through the winding passageways. The confrontation with Aaron had shaken Isabelle more than she wanted to admit. His words lingered in her mind, an unsettling echo of the truth she didn’t yet fully understand."You’re already too deep in this... There’s no going back now."Her pulse raced as she glanced at Michael, who was gripping his injured wrist, his jaw set in frustration. Eric led the way, his movements sharp and controlled, his mind clearly focused on getting them out of there before Aaron or anyone else came after them again.“Where are we going?” Isabelle asked breathlessly, struggling to keep up with their hurried pace.“To someone who might finally give us answers,” Eric replied without looking back. “But we need to move fast. Aaron won’t just let us walk away.”Michael exhaled sharply, his frustration evident. “And wha

** No Turning Back**Michael’s grip tightened on the photograph as the weight of Evelyn’s revelation settled over him like a suffocating fog. The room felt colder, the air heavier with the truth he hadn’t been ready to face. Aaron wasn’t just his enemy—he had been part of Michael’s past all along.Isabelle could see the storm raging inside Michael, his body tense, his jaw clenched. She reached for his hand, squeezing it gently. “Michael, we’ll figure this out together. You don’t have to do this alone.”He turned to her, his eyes dark with determination. “I can’t let him win, Isabelle. He’s taken too much already.”Evelyn sighed, leaning against the metal table. “You want to stop Aaron? Then you need to understand what you’re up against. He doesn’t just have power—he has influence, resources, and an army of people willing to do his bidding. The only way to beat him is to outsmart him.”Michael exhaled sharply, rubbing the back of his neck. “Then tell me what I need to do.”Evelyn smirk

** Race Against Time**Michael’s pulse pounded as he followed Evelyn through the dark underground tunnel, Isabelle close behind him. The air was damp, the scent of old stone and rusted metal thick around them. They had no time to waste—Lillian was still in danger.“How far is the exit?” Isabelle asked, her voice steady but laced with worry.Evelyn didn’t slow her pace. “Another two blocks underground, then we surface through an abandoned warehouse. If Aaron’s men are watching, we’ll have to be fast.”Michael glanced back at Isabelle. “Are you okay?”She nodded, determination flashing in her eyes. “I’m with you.”The words gave him strength. He squeezed her hand briefly before focusing ahead. They reached a metal grate, Evelyn pushing it open with effort. Beyond it, a narrow passage led to an old service elevator.“This will take us up,” she said.Michael hesitated. “If Aaron’s tracking us, this could be a trap.”Evelyn smirked. “Everything’s a trap with him. But we don’t have a choice

** Secrets in the Dark**Isabelle hesitated at the entrance of the grand but decaying Sterling estate. The mansion loomed over them, its once-beautiful exterior now weathered by time. The past lingered in the air, thick and unrelenting.Carla nudged her. “Are you sure about this?”Isabelle exhaled, gripping the key in her hand. “I have to be.”She pushed open the heavy wooden doors, and a wave of dust and memories rushed toward them. The grand chandelier still hung above the foyer, though its crystals were covered in cobwebs. Faint moonlight filtered through cracked stained-glass windows, casting eerie patterns on the marble floor.Everything was exactly as she remembered it.Except for one thing.The faint scent of Michael’s cologne still lingered.Carla noticed it too. “He’s been here, hasn’t he?”Isabelle nodded. Her fingers brushed against the banister as she stepped forward. It felt surreal—like stepping into a dream she had long forgotten.Then, something caught her eye. A singl

**Unraveling the Past**Isabelle’s fingers trembled as she clutched the letter, the words blurring before her eyes."You were never supposed to be born."The weight of the sentence pressed against her chest, making it difficult to breathe. She felt Michael’s presence beside her, steady and grounding, but even he couldn’t anchor her against the storm raging inside.“How can that be?” she whispered, her voice barely audible.Michael gently took the papers from her hands, scanning them with furrowed brows. “This… this doesn’t make sense.”Eric stepped into the room, his gaze flicking between them and the letter. “What does it say?”Isabelle swallowed hard before continuing, her voice wavering."They wanted to erase me. To erase you. I thought I had hidden you well enough, but the past has a way of catching up. If you're reading this, Isabelle, it means I failed to keep you safe."The room seemed to shrink around her.Michael exhaled sharply, setting the papers down. “Who is ‘they’?”Eric

**A Reflection in Time** Isabelle’s breath hitched as she locked eyes with the woman standing at the top of the stairs. It was like looking into a distorted mirror—everything about her was the same. The way her dark curls framed her face, the curve of her jaw, the way she stood, still and silent. But something was different. The woman’s eyes were hollow, almost… distant, as if she wasn’t fully there. Michael stepped forward instinctively, his protective nature kicking in. “Who is that?” he asked, his voice barely above a whisper. The woman didn’t move, didn’t speak. She only watched. Isabelle felt frozen in place. The air around her thickened, heavy with something unspoken, something ancient. The house seemed to be holding its breath, waiting. Eric’s voice broke the silence. “Isabelle… are you sure you’ve never been here before?” She swallowed hard, shaking her head. “I—I don’t know.” Alistair exhaled sharply. “This house remembers.” The words sent a chill down her spine. And

** Unraveling the Threads**Isabelle felt a strange sense of déjà vu as she stared at the photograph in front of her. The woman—Eleanor Beaumont—looked exactly like her, down to the smallest detail. It was as if time had folded in on itself, pulling her into a mystery that had been waiting for her all along.Michael and Eric exchanged glances, both sensing the gravity of the revelation.Professor Alistair studied Isabelle carefully. “You don’t seem surprised.”Isabelle exhaled slowly. “Because deep down, I think I always knew something was… off. My whole life, I’ve had this feeling like I was searching for something I couldn’t name. Like there was a part of me I’d forgotten.”Alistair nodded. “And now, you’re starting to remember.”Michael frowned. “Are you saying she’s… reincarnated?”“Not necessarily,” the professor replied. “But there’s a pattern here—one that suggests she’s been tied to this history for a very long time.”Eric crossed his arms. “That still doesn’t explain why some

**A Step Into the Unknown**The weight of her decision settled in Isabelle’s chest like a stone. No more running. No more hiding. She was ready to face whatever lay ahead, no matter how tangled or dangerous the truth might be.Eric leaned back in his chair, studying her with a mix of admiration and concern. “If you’re really committed to this, there’s someone you need to meet.”Michael frowned. “Who?”“A historian,” Eric replied. “Someone who’s been tracking the legacy of your family for years. He might not have all the answers, but he knows more than anyone else.”Isabelle hesitated for only a moment before nodding. “Then let’s go.”The drive to the historian’s house was long and filled with tension. Michael’s hand rested protectively over Isabelle’s, while Eric focused on the road, his jaw tight with unspoken thoughts.When they finally arrived at the secluded cottage, Isabelle felt a strange sense of familiarity. The place had an old-world charm, with ivy crawling up its stone wall

**Secrets Unraveled**Isabelle sat frozen, her mother’s letter trembling in her hands. The truth she had just uncovered was almost too much to process. Her entire life had been built on a lie. The man she had always called her father… wasn’t. And the man she had never met—the one her mother had loved in secret—was the key to everything.Michael watched her closely, his expression unreadable. “Are you okay?”She let out a shaky breath. “I don’t know. I feel like my whole life just flipped upside down.”Michael reached for the letter, scanning it once more. “Your mother must have had a reason for keeping this hidden. But why now? Why did Andrew’s father want you to find this?”Isabelle frowned, her mind racing. “Maybe he wanted to tell me himself but never got the chance. Or… maybe there’s something bigger at play here.”Michael set the letter down, leaning closer. “If your real father is connected to Andrew’s family, that means you have a direct link to their legacy.”A chill ran down

**The Key to the Past**The cold metal of the key felt heavier in Isabelle’s palm as she clutched it tightly. The world around her blurred as Michael guided her through the maze of Rosewood Garden. Carla and Victor had stayed behind to delay their pursuers, but time was running out.“Where are we going?” Isabelle whispered as they reached the garden’s back gate.Michael glanced over his shoulder, making sure no one was following them. “Somewhere safe.”Safe. The word felt meaningless now. Ever since she had uncovered the truth about her father—or rather, the man she had always believed was her father—nothing had felt safe.They reached Michael’s car, parked a short distance away on a quiet side street. As soon as they were inside, Michael started the engine, pulling away from Rosewood Garden. Isabelle exhaled a shaky breath, staring down at the small key in her hands.“This key… it must lead to something important,” she murmured.Michael nodded, his eyes focused on the road. “And we’r

** Secrets Beneath the Roses**The drive to Rosewood Garden was filled with tense silence. Isabelle clutched the music box tightly in her lap, her mother’s words echoing in her mind.“Follow the roses. They will lead you home.”What did she mean by home?Michael sat beside her, his hand resting protectively over hers, as if sensing her anxiety. Carla and Victor kept their eyes on the road, ensuring they weren’t being followed. The black SUVs had disappeared, but they all knew it was only temporary. Whoever was after them wouldn’t give up so easily.As Victor pulled up to the entrance of Rosewood Garden, a rush of nostalgia hit Isabelle. The place looked exactly as she remembered—rows of lush, blooming roses in every shade of red and pink stretched out in an intricate maze. A cobblestone path led to a quiet fountain at the center, the water glistening under the afternoon sun.Isabelle stepped out of the car, her heart pounding. “We need to find it.”Michael followed closely, scanning t

**Echoes of the Past**Isabelle’s fingers trembled as she turned the key in the lock of her old apartment. The place smelled faintly of lavender, just as she had left it, yet the air felt heavy with the weight of the past. Michael stood behind her, his presence a comforting anchor, while Carla and Victor waited outside, keeping watch.She stepped inside cautiously, her gaze scanning the familiar surroundings. Everything looked untouched—except for the slight shift in the picture frames on the wall.Someone had been here.Her heart pounded. Had they found the music box already?Michael noticed her hesitation and gently placed a hand on her shoulder. “We’ll find it,” he assured her.Taking a deep breath, Isabelle walked toward her bedroom. The antique wooden music box sat on the top shelf of her closet, right where she had last placed it. It was small, delicate, with intricate carvings of roses on the lid.She carefully pulled it down, running her fingers over the surface. Her mother ha

**Secrets Unfold**Isabelle stared at the black envelope in her hands. It felt heavier than it should, as though it carried the weight of decades of secrets.Michael and Carla stood close by, their eyes filled with concern. Even Victor, the father she had just found, remained tense, watching her reaction carefully.She inhaled sharply before sliding her finger under the seal and pulling out a neatly folded letter along with a small, aged photograph.Her mother’s face stared back at her.A younger version of her, smiling softly, standing beside Victor. They looked happy—like a family. But the back of the photograph had something written in neat, slanted handwriting:“Protect her at all costs. No matter what.”Isabelle’s hands trembled as she unfolded the letter. The first few lines made her breath hitch.“Isabelle, if you’re reading this, then I’ve failed to keep you away from this world. I never wanted you to be involved, but fate has a way of pulling us back in.”Her grip tightened.
