All Chapters of THE DOCTOR'S BEAUTIFUL WIFE.: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

** Confessions in the Dark**The quiet hum of the house felt almost oppressive as Isabelle sat alone in the dimly lit living room. The weight of the secret she had been carrying for months was finally becoming unbearable. Her body, too, was giving her away—her clothes, once loose, were starting to cling to her, and she could feel the subtle, yet undeniable changes that were happening to her. Her hands rested gently on her stomach, as if to shield the growing secret that she was no longer able to hide.Andrew had been a constant presence in her life, a comforting figure who had always been there when Michael was too busy or too distant. He had become a trusted friend, someone she could rely on, even as the pain of her choices consumed her from the inside. But now, as the days passed and her body changed, she knew that she couldn’t keep this from him any longer. She needed to tell him. Before it was too late. Before the truth was visible to everyone.She glanced toward the window, her t

**Crossroads of Trust**Michael barely spoke to Isabelle after the revelation. The atmosphere at home became suffocatingly tense, filled with unspoken words and fleeting glances that carried the weight of their shared pain. He buried himself in work even more, coming home late and leaving early, avoiding any meaningful confrontation.For Isabelle, the silence was almost unbearable. She understood his distance—it was the reaction she had feared all along—but it still hurt more than she anticipated. Andrew had also kept his distance after the conversation, respecting her wish to navigate this situation with her husband, though she knew his support lingered in the background like a quiet shadow.Isabelle spent her days alone, wandering the house, her thoughts a whirlwind of regret and confusion. The signs of her pregnancy were growing harder to conceal, and she couldn’t help but feel both joy and fear as she imagined what the future would hold.Late one evening, there was a knock on the

**Cracks Beneath the Surface**Isabelle sat at the edge of the bed, her thoughts a chaotic storm. The blackmail, her affair with Michael Andrews, and the fragile state of her marriage felt like an unbearable weight pressing down on her chest. She glanced at Michael, who was in the adjoining room, furiously typing on his laptop. The lines of worry etched on his face had deepened over the last few days, and she couldn’t help but feel responsible.The truth was out—well, most of it. Michael now knew about her infidelity and the blackmail, but there were still layers to her guilt she hadn’t confessed. The fear that he might dig deeper and discover more gnawed at her soul.She stood and walked into the living room, needing air and clarity. Outside, the moonlight bathed the garden in a soft glow. Isabelle wrapped her arms around herself, feeling the crisp night air bite at her skin.Inside, Michael’s phone buzzed, pulling him away from his thoughts. He frowned as he saw Rachel’s name flashi

**The Final Test**The atmosphere in the house had shifted, lighter and warmer than it had been in months. Isabelle’s newborn daughter brought a sense of unity to the family, and Andrew had finally begun to trust Isabelle again. However, the scars of their past hadn’t fully healed. While Isabelle and Andrew worked hard to rebuild their relationship, external forces still loomed, threatening their fragile happiness.Isabelle woke early one morning to find an envelope slipped under the door of the nursery. It was unsigned, but the handwriting was familiar. She unfolded the letter and began to read:“Your secrets may have been buried, but not everyone has forgotten. Keep looking over your shoulder—this isn’t over.”Her heart raced as she clutched the letter. Was it from Karen, Vanessa, or someone else entirely? She couldn’t risk letting Andrew find out; it would undo all the progress they’d made. Isabelle quickly tucked the letter into a drawer and resolved to investigate on her own.Lat

**The Edge of Deception**The days leading up to the confrontation with Karen blurred into one another. Isabelle felt as though she were treading water, trying desperately to keep her head above the chaos. The alliances she thought were solid had crumbled, leaving her with no one to trust but herself.Rachel’s warning echoed in her mind: Karen’s planning something big. The problem was, Isabelle couldn’t discern whether Rachel’s intentions were genuine or another calculated ploy. Michael’s cryptic message added another layer to her paranoia. The looming sense of danger was suffocating, and the secrets she’d buried threatened to erupt and destroy everything.Andrew, oblivious to the storm swirling around him, was preoccupied with work. His growing detachment only fueled Isabelle’s anxiety. She couldn’t risk losing him again, but the walls were closing in fast.The morning began like any other. Isabelle, dressed in a loose sweater that concealed her growing belly, tried to focus on feedi
