The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 99 Questions
Mia's POVI listen to my mother's phone conversation with her lawyer. I can tell she truly wants to send her ex-husband to prison. I sit on the sofa and try to find a comfortable position, as my belly is getting bigger and bigger. Gas lies at my feet.“Yes, I understand the implications,” Mom's voice came from the kitchen, her usual shrill tone when she was dealing with legal matters. ”But I need the records from 1995 to 2000. All of them.”Gas nudged my ankle with his nose, placed his favorite rope toy on my lap, and his eyes filled with hope. I smiled and picked up the worn-out piece of string. Our games had become more gentle since I became pregnant. Gas had made his compromises for me.“Be careful, Mommy,” I murmured as we played a modified version of catch, throwing the toy very close. Gas ran over happily.I picked up the stack of papers Mom had left on the coffee table: bank statements, property records. Mom had really done her work.I flipped to “James Young Investigation,” th

**Mia's POV**I spent the whole night thinking nonsense, so I didn't sleep well.A soft whimper from Gas drew my attention. He lay curled in his bed by the window, paws twitching as he chased dream rabbits. I envy Gas. He always gets a good night's sleep.My phone screen illuminated softly. It is 6:17 AM now. The date glowed also, October 15th. My "old" wedding anniversary. For the first three years, I always prepared for this day in advance. People can adapt easily. I almost forgot this day.To be honest, I had hoped that after the divorce, Kyle would disappear from my life completely. That I could never have to think about this man again. But I had underestimated things. Would Kyle give up my babies? And there was the kidnapping thing. Should I tell Kyle?Sometimes I feel so sad that Kyle and I met so early in life. I was so hopelessly in love with him years after. It seemed like our lives were so intertwined. But, sadly, we were still unable to find happiness.There were some thing

Mia's POVKyle's appearance had disrupted my plan. He had returned too early. I wasn't ready to discuss any of the “kidnapping” things with Kyle. I hadn't fully digested Mrs. Chen's words, but I was pretty sure I didn't want to tell Kyle all of it right now.I shot Mrs. Chen a quick glance, catching the slight nod of understanding in her eyes. I turned to Kyle, “I'm going back now, I just came to get my things.”Kyle sighed, “Mia, I can tell when you're lying. I hope we can do without the lies. No pressure.”The simple observation knocked me off balance. When did Kyle become able to tell when I was lying? Since when could Kyle Branson read me so easily? I was a little stunned. "I don't owe you explanations anymore."I didn't respond to his question, ”Kyle, you're a smart guy. You should understand why I chose to get a divorce. I really don't want you involved in my life anymore.”I saw Kyle slowly let out a breath. “That's a good point. But Mia, I didn't initiate the divorce, and I ne

**Mia's POV**The slam of my car door echoed through the parking garage. I heard Kyle's door open too, but thankfully, he didn't follow. My legs carried me forward, each step a small victory against the urge to look back.*I love you.* His words tumbled through my mind like clothes in a dryer, tumbling over and over, impossible to ignore. Why did he have to say that? After everything, after all this time, why now?I try to walk faster. His words won't stop playing in my head. They've touched something in me. I hate the sincerity in his words. I hate that he wants to make amends.I can't let myself love him anymore. It's getting really bad.The divorce didn't bring me the peace I was hoping for. Especially since Kyle came back into my life, I realized I can't just laugh about the past. Just because you're no longer married to someone doesn't mean you magically forget all the details. He shouldn't expect us to start over. Because we can't just pretend like nothing happened."Get it toge

**Mia's POV**The hostess guided me through La Maison's elegant dining room, weaving between tables filled with the city's well-dressed lunch crowd. My lower back ached slightly as I followed her. Side effect of carrying twins."Just over there," she said, gesturing toward a corner booth where I immediately spotted Scarlett's unmistakable red hair. Scarlett was laughing at something Morton had said, her head thrown back in that carefree way I'd always envied. They hadn't noticed me yet, giving me a moment to observe them unguarded.Something about Scarlett looked different. She was still stunning, of course - impeccably styled in what was probably this season's latest designer outfit. But there was something else, something new. A softness around her edges, perhaps? A contentment I'd never associated with my perpetually restless best friend.Oh, I guessed I found the word. Scarlett was happily married.Morton leaned in, saying something that made her smile again. He looked every bit

**Mia's POV**Paris.The word lingered in my mind like the aftertaste of expensive wine. I watched Scarlett's animated face as she continued outlining her vision for our Paris trip, her hands moving while Morton looked on her."We could stay at Le Meurice," Scarlett was saying, scrolling through something on her phone. "Their suites have the most gorgeous views of Tuileries Garden."I pushed my half-eaten salad around the plate, considering the possibility with surprising seriousness. "I don't know, Scar. Paris is a long flight for someone who has to pee every twenty minutes," I said, but my tone lacked conviction.The truth was, the idea had taken root. I wasn't too far along yet—just starting my sixth month. Flying was still safe according to Dr. Matthews, and travel would become increasingly uncomfortable as the twins grew. If I was ever going to see this architecture firm, now might be the perfect window."First class has bathrooms," Scarlett countered immediately. "And we can re

Mia's POVI rubbed absently at my lower back where one of the twins was pressing uncomfortably. I had to talk to Nate about it. The thought came unbidden, surprising me with its immediacy. Not just because he'd suggested the firm originally, but because... well, because I wanted his opinion. Because something about our last conversation still felt unfinished.Gas came bounding to the door when I arrived home, his entire body wiggling with excitement as if I'd been gone for days instead of hours. I crouched awkwardly to scratch behind his ears, my center of gravity shifting daily as the twins grew."Hey buddy," I murmured as he pressed his head against my hand. "Miss me?"Mom appeared in the hallway, looking refreshed after her afternoon rest."How was lunch?" she asked, moving to help me with my coat. "Scarlett still trying to set you up with her brother?"I laughed. "Now you know too, Mom? Scarlett is really crazy!""Please. That girl's been playing matchmaker since you were both in

Mia's POVThe next morning brought sunshine streaming through my curtains and the insistent buzz of my phone. I reached for it blindly, still half-asleep, and squinted at the screen. Five missed calls from my lawyer, three texts from Scarlett (already sharing links to Paris apartments "just in case you fall in love with the city!"), and one unexpected message from Kyle.*Morning. Hope you're feeling well. The trust paperwork is ready when you are.*My fingers hovered over the screen. The trust paperwork. Of course. Despite everything, Kyle was still ensuring the twins would be financially secure. It was the responsible thing to do, the practical thing. I told him I would raise my child by myself, but he obviously doesn't care what I think. Fine.I set the phone aside without replying.Gas stretched beside the bed, his morning routine of downward dog followed by an enthusiastic full-body shake that always made me smile."Morning, buddy," I said, swinging my legs over the edge of the bed

The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 170 Completely lost his mind
Mia's POVWhat the fuck with Kyle?My phone rings—Scarlett. I answer on autopilot, still reeling from what I've just read."Tell me you're watching this," she says without greeting. "Kyle has lost his fucking mind.""I saw the article," I manage. "Is it—is it really as bad as it sounds?""Worse," she assures me. "He's on every major news channel right now. I'm sending you the video."Moments later, my phone pings with an incoming message. I open it with trembling fingers, bracing myself for whatever I'm about to see.The video shows Kyle standing at a podium bearing the Branson Industries logo, his expression serious but determined. He looks immaculate as always, in a perfectly tailored suit that emphasizes his broad shoulders and lean frame. But there's something different about him—an intensity, a barely contained energy that radiates through the screen."Good morning," he begins, his deep voice steady. "I a
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 169 WTF
Mia's POVI wake before my alarm, the twins already active. Gas lifts his head from his spot at the foot of the bed, watching as I push myself up with a quiet groan."Morning, buddy," I murmur, scratching behind his ears.My phone chimes with an incoming email as I'm brushing my teeth. From Kyle's assistant, Linda:Subject: Statement for Review As requested, please find attached the statement that will be released to the press at 9:00 AM. Mr. Branson would appreciate your feedback as soon as possible, if you have any concerns.I finish brushing my teeth before opening the attachment, taking a deep breath as I prepare for whatever Kyle has concocted as damage control.The statement is brief, professional, and surprisingly straightforward:"Branson Industries wishes to address recent speculation regarding the personal life of CEO Kyle Branson.The marriage between Kyle Branson and Mia Williams was a genuine relationship entered i

Mia's POVUnderstanding then happiness in his face. "You saw me in the hallway."It's not a question, but I nod anyway.Kyle visibly brightened up. "You saw me in the hallway." He repeated.I wanted to tell him that I was not deaf.But he quickly added, "With Alexis Moore," he continues. "My new PR director.""Oh. "I looked away. “Okay.”So that's who she is. His PR director. I keep my expression carefully neutral. "It doesn't matter who she is, Kyle. I just needed to know what you're doing about these articles. The lies they're spreading about me. About us."I could tell Kyle was studying my expression carefully. “Are you jealous, Mia?”I rolled my eyes. This bastard. "I think I should tell my mom that the five minutes are up."He stopped me.He cleared his throat. "That's exactly what Alexis and I were discussing," he says. "Our strategy for addressing the media situation.""And?" I prompt when he doesn't continue."And I'm handling it," he says. "Robert is filing injunctions, as I'
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 167 You saw me in the hallway.
Mia's POVThe car ride home fast. I can't stop seeing them. Kyle and that woman, even when I close my eyes.Why am I so angry? Kyle and I are divorced. He's free to see whoever he wants, talk to whoever he wants, laugh with whoever he wants."You're awfully quiet," Scarlett raised eyebrow.When we arrive at my building, Edmund jumps out to open my door."I'll come up with you," Scarlett says, not a question but a statement."You don't have to. Scar, I know you need to get back to the office. I already felt that I owe you so much." I leaned over and gave her a hugShe just told me she would always be there. My dear Scarlett.Mom is waiting when we enter the apartment, her expression is a I-told-you-so. Gas bounds over, his entire body wiggling with delight at my return. At least someone is happy to see me."How did it go?" Mom asks, watching as I lower myself onto the sofa."It didn't. Kyle was in meetings. I didn't see him." I said."I told you it was a waste of time," Mom says, "You
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 166 A Taste of Jealousy
Mia's POV"Are you okay?" Scarlett asked, noticing that I had fallen silent.I blinked, pulling myself back from the spiral of thoughts threatening to drag me under. The conference room felt too small suddenly, the air too thick despite the building's perfect ventilation system."I'm fine," I lied, shifting in the plush executive chair that was still somehow uncomfortable against my aching back. "I just want to see Kyle."Scarlett studied me with the intense scrutiny that only lifelong friends can get away with, her eyes narrowing slightly."Okay," she said finally. "But promise me one thing, alright?""What?""If things get out of hand, or if the press seems to have noticed your presence, you have to leave immediately. No arguments."I nodded. "I promise." The last thing I wanted was to appear in tomorrow's tabloids, looking emotional and desperate as I confronted my ex-husband. It would only reinforce Taylor's narrative of me
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 165 Uncertainties
Mia's POV Mom studies my face for a long moment, then sighs. "I'll call Edmund. At least he's a security-cleared driver." "Thank you." I grab my purse and phone, relieved to avoid further argument. Mom makes the call, her voice clipped as she arranges for Edmund to pick me up immediately. When she hangs up, she turns to me with a stern expression. "One hour. That's all. Then you come straight back here to rest." "One hour," I agree, knowing better than to push my luck. Gas whines as he watches me prepare to leave, clearly unhappy about being left behind. "Sorry, buddy," I tell him, crouching awkwardly to give him a quick hug. "I'll be back soon. Take care of Grandma for me." The doorbell rings—Edmund arriving more quickly than I'd expected. Mom gives me one last searching look. "Be careful," she says quietly. "And call me if you need anything—anything at all." "I will," I promise, kissing her cheek before heading for the door. Edmund greets me with professional co
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 164 Media War
Mia's POV"Don't react," I tell myself, my fingers hovering over the keyboard. "Don't give them what they want."But I can't stop scrolling. It's like watching a car crash—horrifying, but impossible to look away from. Every news site, every gossip blog, every social media platform seems to be exploding with "breaking news" about the scandalous gold-digger who trapped billionaire CEO Kyle Branson with a pregnancy.Me.The New York Times article is predictably more restrained than the tabloids, presenting "allegations" and "sources close to the family" rather than outright character assassination. Still, the implications are clear: I manipulated my way into Kyle's life, used my position as his secretary to seduce him, orchestrated a pregnancy to secure my financial future, and am now engaged in a bitter custody battle while carrying his children.The headline stares back at me: "Branson Billions Battle: The Secretary, The Scandal, and the Surrogate Mother Claims."Surrogate mother claim
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 163 Upsetting calls
Mia's POVNate's call came out of the blue. I stared at my phone screen, his name glowing insistently, my finger hovering over the accept button. I consider not answering.Why was he calling now, after weeks of silence? After leaving without a word?I swiped to answer, my heart already racing. "Nate?""Mia." His voice was low but tense. "Are you alone? Can you talk?"Something in his voice makes me feel weird. I glanced around my apartment, quiet except for the gentle snores of Gas sleeping at my feet. Mom had gone out for her morning walk, a new routine she'd adopted since the doctor cleared her for more activity."Yes, I'm alone. What's going on?""Are you okay?"he said.Am I okay?Well, so is that why he called? To ask if I'm okay.It feels like he's holding back."I'm okay, Nate. Did something happen?" I asked.He was silent for a long time, and I even thought he was going to hang up."I need you to listen carefully." He took a breath, as if steeling himself. "What do you mean,
The Unwanted Wife and Her Secret Twins Chapter 162 Parted on bad terms
Mia's POVNothing came to my mind.Sleep seemed even more elusive now, but I forced myself to shut down my laptop and head to bed. Gas followed dutifully, settling at my feet with a contented sigh as I arranged pillows to support my aching back.I persuaded myself that I must sleep. And it worked.Morning arrived with pale winter sunlight filtering through my curtains and the distant sounds of Mom moving about the kitchen. I lay still for a moment, rubbing my eyes.I settled in the living room with my laptop, intending to do some work on the children's center project. The final touches were being implemented, with the grand opening scheduled for just after New Year's. Assuming the twins cooperated and stayed put until their due date in January, I hoped to attend.I couldn't help but think of Nate. Will he come?I always feel like he's avoiding me. I want to get to the bottom of it all. But something stops me.I was deep in correspondence with the contractor about some last-minute adju
